[Q] How do I install the Revolver ROM?

I searched this forum a bit and I can't find a nice guide. I am currently running rooted .19 on my TF101, B70KAS. Is it as simple as dropping the ROM on my internal SD and letting it update to the latest Revolver release (based on .21)? Or can I do it with booting into recovery mode? This is my first tablet and I have no clowworkmod on my tablet... do I need to flash that somehow? Where's a guide?
thanks!

I am very familiar with CWM, flashing, nandroid backups, etc. I've had a nexus one for a long long time. I just can't find any good stickies on how to install CWM on my tablet, which I assume is my first step, though I find it odd there are no stickies. On the Nexus One forum there are lots! Where can I learn about installing CWM on my tablet with stock (but rooted) .19 FW?

One click CWM installer, don't get any easier than that.

I had the Same issue coming from the nexus s. the tricky bit is that rom manager does not support the transformer. I've got a galaxy tab 10.1 as well and flashing over a custom recovery was easy as pie.
anyway, what you have to do is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093818)
then you need to install an app (i use reboot2recovery) from the marketplace to get into the custom recovery. i've tried quickboot or rom manager but all it does it take me to a black screen or reboot the device. reboot2recovery will actually drop you into clockworkmod recovery. from there, do your nandroid backup. you'll need an SD card in your transformer for it to actually go ahead with the backup.
aside: from my reading, the backup should backup to internal storage with that modded clockwork. i've never been able to get it to work though. anyway, just use an SD card for now so you can get through the difficult stuff.
so at this point uve done the following:
installed clockwordmod using the first 2 links and installed the reboot2recovery APK to get into recovery.
now you have an SD card in your transformer and you are doing a nandroid backup.
once completed, put the 200+mb revolver rom on the root of your SD card. you may also want to put another kernel. i use the one recommended by revolver.
now just wipe the cache, data, etc as usual. now flash the rom, reboot the system when completed. plug in your gmail account, wifi password etc. and then reinstall the reboot2recovery apk. now reboot to recovery and then flash the kernel. reboot and ure good to go. install revolver parts to allow for additional tweaking and OTA updating.
i got my transformer from bestbuy this thanksgiving and went to revolver 3.9.5 immediately. last night i actually flashed revolver 3.11 right over it. not a single problem.
edit: reading the above post, i remember that my FIRST recovery installation was using that one-click tool and, as was said, it works flawlessly. you still need the reboot2recovery though. and recoveryinstaller WILL NOT install the modified for internal storage version of clockwork. i'm thinking maybe i just havent tried backing up since updating to the internal storage version, which is why i think i've "never gotten it to work"

Awesome, I had tried it earlier and it didn't do anything. Then I realized that my superuser app was FCing, however I could still use adb shell and su just fine! After I realized there was an update for the superuser app, I installed it. Everything is perfect now.

Have you installed CWM recovery?
Rooting alone does not install CWM recovery.

[Q] Odin3: checkboxes are disabled

Hi there,
I got a brand new Galaxy Note 10.1 this weekend and tried to get my hands dirty on rooting it just yesterday. So I got Odin3, CWM and SuperSU, installed Samsung Kies and thought I were good to go. Unfortunately, after doing what some guides tell me to do, I'm still on official device status.
Before I go into detail: I had to manually edit the Odin3 INI file to force the device NOT to auto reboot after flashing the CWM - the checkboxes in Odin3 were disabled and greyed out. Can someone explain why and if that might be the cause of my problems?

Thanks, but that didn't help either. Auto-Rebooting brings me back to stock, device state official. I tried to install CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip manually via CWM, but a reboot later it's still "official" and apps that need root access either run forever ("checking...") or freeze the tablet. But since this is getting off topic, I might be better off asking in other threads.
Thanks anyway!

Then you are not understanding instructions .
What is your intention .
Root or flash a stock rom .
Root via either method i posted .
Stock rom direct flash tar file via Odin.
ODIN flash is a tar not a zip.
Custom rom via a rooted phone with recovery zip file from ext sd card or sd card .
jje

Come on, the instructions are pretty clear boot in Odin Mode, click a button in Odin, let it restart, finished. The SuperSU zip file is from another guide, where the tar-file didn't include it. So I tried to manually install it via CWM (I think it was 6.0.2.7 or 8), but that didn't work either. Whenever the device reboots, Root Checker Basic runs for a few minutes and says "Sorry, the device does not have proper root access". If it helps, I used this guide:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...ly-root-fuer-anfaenger-n8000-n8010-n8020.html
Even though it's in german, the screenshots are pretty obvious.

Sorry never ever seen any method with those sort of instructions.Personally not a clue what they mean .
I have used two methods as posted to root note 4 or 5 times. Rooted standard Samsung phones with cwm and root hundreds of times without any of those instructions.
Even run one standard cwm root via Odin to allow a specific rom install followed by a reroot using TWRP this afternoon .

Thanks to Darkman, I finally got it. The problem was the current firmware update from Samsung. I reflashed with the version from January, followed his tutorial (like I did before - wow, after doing this 3-4 times, it certainly becomes second nature), and BAM, the device is rooted. Thanks anyway JJegan

[Q] How to install CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus

hi folks,
Need information on how to load CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
Currently i have the CM 10 Beta 4 (JB 4.1.2) installed. Current recovery is Recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.
I've downloaded these files.
cm-10.1-20130622-dev_connection_team-release2-ariesve.zip
DevCon-gapps-jb-20130622-signed.zip
cwm6032-Build2-ariesve-alireza7991.zip
Kernel_JB-4.2.2_3.4_20130622_Google-4.6_Stock_Signed.zip
When i checked the AriesDevCon team's link and XDA Wiki Samsung SGS+ link there was some confusion.
The Wiki link doesn't say anything about the recovery installation. Should i use Odin to install the CWM6032 or just put it in the SD card and reboot into recovery? I'd used Odin for the 5.5.0.4 recovery.
From the XDA forums on recovery (alireza7991's) saw that i could use Odin to install the recovery first.
Also, what do i do with the 3.4 kernel ? Should i load that too in the SD card before recovery mode for the installation?
My current kernel is 3.0.70.
Could someone with the proper knowledge please guide ? And please provide the exact steps and the files needed.
I've done the CM 10.1 already and it worked pretty well, but was not able to do any upgrade later (to release 2.5 etc). Had my phone soft-bricked two times and had to install the stock Gingerbread ROM to come back to JB 4.1.2 ROM.
regards,
Anoop

The files you got are .ZIP files.
It should be possible to flash these using the recovery. I have To check back for further instructions cause i'm not familiar with the s+ but cwm should be installed automatically when the kernel has be installed.

It is not necessary to install recovery before every ROM installation. CWM 5.5.0.4 is a stable and safe recovery for our device.
According to the kernel i recommend you to use K^Kernal 3.4.x. It is more battery friendly with good performance.
The procedure is as explained in there
1. Boot in to recovery and
2. flash CWM 6.0.3.2 (if you want to, otherwise skip this) and reboot in to recovery.
3.Wipe data(not necessary when you are coming from a previous build of the same ROM, but recommended), wipe cache, and wipe dalvic cache
4. Flash ROM, Flash Gapps and flash kernel and reboot,
You are done.!

[SOLVED] How to install CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Hey folks,
Thanks to all of you for the kind advises!
In fact, i checked for any reply one hour after posting my question and only H3llwar's one reply was visible.
Was too impatient and thought to go ahead with the Modding.
First tried to flash the latest recovery cwm-emmcbrickedpatch-ariesve-6.0.3.2-alireza7991.img using Odin.
This one stuck at one stage (<1> recovery.img download) and didn't move further. So disconnected the USB and removed the battery (I forgot though in what sequence). I expected this to happen since it had happened two times before when trying to flash a non-tar recovery. Also I expected my phone to be soft-bricked, but luckily it did'nt. :good:
Then went through some more info on XDA and other forums and found a WORKED.rar solution.
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30015714&postcount=22
Used that AriesVE.ops version and the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-ariesve.tar.md5 and was able to flash the new recovery.
The reason i flashed the new recovery is that because i always used to find on these forums to use a specific recovery for a specific ROM.
Anyway, then i loaded the CM 10.1 and Gapps into the SD card, set debugging mode on and restarted in Recovery mode.
Then backed up data (Nandroid). Then wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache partition.
Then asked recovery to install from zip card selecting the CM10.1 ROM followed by Gapps. These processes happened very fast this time.
Then rebooted and there it was, a new magenta Cyanogen footer logo along with with the Samsung logo.
Skipped the initial parts and went to the About Phone section with the Android 4.2.2 indication.
Was very happy to also see my Kernel updated to 3.4.49. Three days now on the new ROM and loving it, battery life improved by at least 5% (from the 4.1.2). But missing the 4.1.2 fonts for the clock etc. Although the other internal fonts are smoother and easier on the eye.
Pasting the info screenshot here.

[Q] Can't install ROM

Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy tab 2 (p5110), with root and clockwork recovery.
When i wan't to install a rom (made for p5110) i get the error (status 7) even when i alter the file with notepad or if i 'toggle signature vertification.
I have tried it with mutiple ROMS (like slimrom) but they all don't work.
Can someone please help me?

Try updating your recovery, allot of the new roms are running Kitkat and if your recovery is outdated it won't work.
Pp.

I have ROM manager clockworkmod 6.0.2.7 witch should be the latest version.
I also have ROOT, so i don't understand why no rom will install on my tab...

Any progress with your tablet?
Pp.

No, it still doesn't work
Here is exacty what I do:
- Download a ROM (from XDA) for the P5110
- Put the ROM on a SD card (in the samsung tab)
- Boot into clockwork recovery (version 6.0.2.7)
- Install from external SD card
- Get error 7 (even if I put verification signature on)
Witch forces me to re-install my backup of android 4.2.2 samsung tab 2
I must be doing something wrong, but i can't figure out what...
Thanks for the help

Looks like the rooting method doesn't really went well.
What you're doing isn't wrong in my opinion.
You could try to reroot the tab.
Might wanna install original firmware with odin and start the progtess again.

But when I use rootchecker, it says my tablet is rooted, also most of the root apps work (like Greenify, xposed installer apps, SuperSU)
I rooted it some time back, using something like cappuchino (??, it was some time ago hahaha).
If i must do it again, what guide to root do you use personally?
Thanks

Normally I look at the Zedomax movies on Youtube.
When i had a Sammy tab (i thought it was the p7500?) I remember rooting it by some of the Zedomax (HighOnAndroid) movies on youtube.
It is strange that rootchecker etc says you are rooted.
You can try to return to stock and like i said before reroot everything. But... could it be that you are on a current bootloader wich is not the same as the rom you are trying to install ?

I have tried ALL the ROM's from XDA for p5110...
Witch bootloader do you recommend?

Why put rom on external SD card?
Typical download goes to internal, select from internal not external. Forget about the external, typically I move stuff I don't want to erase to external but not roms or gapps.
Pp.

Here is a screenshot of the last ROM & gapps I installed.
These downloaded straight to SD card (internal) typical instructions from developers is to (download and install from internal.)
Try it, you might like it. ? ?
Pp.

tried to install another rom from XDA (for p5110) kitkat from internal sd
Still doesn't work...
Here a screen:

Check your downloads make sure your downloading for your specific model, make sure you have a P5110 ?
Pp.

Downloads are specificly for p5110
I'm sure i have GT-P5110, see photo.

??? Running out of suggestions, maybe try installing a stock rom.
Look in original development.
Pp.

hahaha just my luck...
Where can i find stock roms?

Try Google xda has no original development for GTAB 2..
Just check the dates, don't d/l old stuff.
Pp.

While you're running the latest OFFICIAL CWM for this tab, it is too old to flash a KitKat ROM. But there are newer unofficial versions that work just fine.

[Q] help getting back to normal

was rooted on lollipop, tried to update to 2.2 but i think i installed the wifi version (i am an lte owner) tried to put the aosp rom on since i needed to wipe and start fresh anyways. Now i am on the aosp rom which changed my recovery the recovery that loads doesnt mount the sd card (and doesnt see the internal storage). I figure if i can just get back to another recovery i should be able to get back on track.

Are you rooted? if so, with flashify, flash another custom recovery. I'd recommend TWRP 2.8.5.0. Its here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/wip-twrp-2-8-0-1-unofficial-t2877117/ and its on the latest posts as zip attachment (you need to extract the zip, because it contains an *.img).
If not, (I have not tried this because I haven't got the need to do it)
you can flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 via fastboot, but you need to unlock the bootloader.

problem is i dont have gapps installed so unable to use flashify. When i try to use adb to install them i get error closed
then waiting for device.
tablet is showing in device manager as google galaxy nexus adb interface
