Hi,
After 1 year my warranty is now off and i'm starting to replace the slow stock rom by CROMi-X rom.
My tab is a 4.2.1 / 10.6.1.14.8 stock rom and so far here is what i have done :
- backup all my apps with Titanium Backup and copy them on my PC
- unlock with Asus unlock tool
- install goomanager
- install OpenRecoveryScript from within goomanager
Now i'm downloading the deodex cromi-x 4.7.0 before doing next steps.
I have few questions :
- TWRP was it installed when i installed goomanager and OpenRecoveryScript or did I miss a step ?
in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492 it's indicated :
If you are already rooted then use goomanager to install the latest TWRP via the menu
So I believe I have to do something inside goomanager but i don't find literaly in its menu the option "install latest TWRP".
Coud you please indicate me what option of the menu I have to use to do that step ?
- i've chosen deodex in case i'd like to add theme. is it your own choice or do you prefer odex ?
- is it interesting to install nvflash (i'm sure anyway that my tab is compatible with that) ?
- nandroid backup : is it done from inside TWRP (after boot recovery) ?
- navigate backup to install : is it done from inside TWRP (after boot recovery) ?
That's all for the moment, thanks in advance for your assistance

I see in some other threads that this is the goomanager option "install recoveryscript" that install TWRP and now i see in my tab inside folder goomanager that there is a file openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-tf700t.blob. It seems to me that this is the rwrp tool. Am I right ? Then it means that I could now boot on recovery (option Rebbot Recovery inside goo manager + Power and Volume Down and hit Volume up on the RCK icon in the 10.6.1.x bootloader screen) to do next actions (backup my current rom and then install the cromi-x rom).
Question : Do I need to do a factory reset ?

I remind here my few questions for which I prefer to have answer before I do next steps of my first custom rom installation. If somebody has answers, thanks in advance

- I did not use goo to install the twrp, so I don't know how it works...
- I believe that you use goo to find the latest twrp and install it yourself using goo. There must be a menu or button that you can use to install twrp or other custom recovery.
- You can not use NVFlash to backup your blob if your tab has a rom version later than ICS .26.
- Yes, you can nandroid backup from TWRP when you have it installed.
- I use both of them to test out the theory of performance. I don't know if one is better than the other. However, I have noticed that Sbdags has more tweaks in the build.prop of Odex version comparing with Deodex. Only Sbdags can answer that question for. You could try both and test them yourself. Hope that I answer all yourquestions..
- Yes, you can restore your backup from TWRP.
The post above me has a good question for you. Goo needs root permission to install any custom recovery. You can use motochopper to get root if you have not had it. Good luck.
To install twrp recovery using Goo you must be rooted first tha'ts why I asked have you used motochopper to root.

To install twrp using Goo is easy, open Goo, look in the top right hand corner for the three dot click on it then click on install open recovery.
Wait for twrp to download and your tablet should boot into update mode and you should see a blue bar build from the left when it's finished it should reboot ans you should then have twrp installed.
You can download quick boot from the play store and when you open it you will see an option to enter recovery, the easy way,

You don't imagine how many times I've read the CROMI-X instruction (link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492) in order to be sure not to brick my tab !
I don't see any missing task or any wrong thing that i've done. But this is the first time I ever install an alternate rom on an android device and even if i'm working in computing, this is quite new for me and I might be wrong. So if you have a few minutes to check my resume below, I would be very grateful to have your remarks or questions
My current configuration :
- stock rom 4.2.1
- bootloader 10.6.1.14.8
- root (via motochooper)
What I have done :
- download "CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.7.0 DEODEX" from CROMI-X thread link
and copy the zip file (CROMi-Xenogenesis DEODEX 4.7.0_Signed.zip) to the internal SD card
- backup all my apps and data (with Titanium Backup) and copy it on my computer
- unlocked the tab (via asus unlock tool) : at bootup it displays "the device is unlocked"
- twrp installed (via goo manager / install OpenRecoveryScript)
- quick boot installed (as i was not sure of how to use twrp)
- boot on recovery (via quick boot) : i'm now in TWRP v2.6.0.0
- done backup of 3 partitions (system, data, boot)
If I read the CROMI-X thread, it says that now I have to :
- Navigate back up to install (inside TWRP)
- Choose the CROMi-Xenogensis zip file and follow the instructions
- Enjoy

Yes what you have done sounds right, one thing I normally do is back up all the partitions, and I copy the back up to the micro sdcard that I have mounted in the tablet.

I don't have any micro-sdcard and my largest sdcard (to connect to the dock) is not large enough (1 Gb). So i've quit TWRP and connect the tab to my PC to copy the TWRP/Backup folder to my computer.
The copy from my tab to my PC is not working for the large files (i don't know why).
I'm doing again the backup : this time i do backup of all partitions (not only the 3 selected by default).
As i don't do factory reset, I should not loose this backup, should I ?

Hi all!
I just bought my P780 from china retailer. Turns out the stock ROM doesn't support GSM lower than 2100 MHz. I've rooted my phone, so I'd like to know is the any CWM 6 recovery and how to flash it to the phone?
And is there any link to download another country's ROM so I can use my SIM?
Thanks and best regards.
CWM means clockworkmod recovery.
it does not need to be flashed
to get it,
1)get cwm zip file for your device.(use google)
2)then put that file in root directory of your sdcard
3) boot your phone in recovery mode and select cwm zip file.
then it would start cwm recovery
---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
i think there is no rom for making your sim card usable
please hit THANKS....
I managed to install CWM English using MobileUncle. Is there any ROM I can install via CWM, because the ones n needrom seems to be very difficult.
yes there are many roms available
can u tell me how to use the flashtool from the beginning since it is my first time
it is recommended to take a nandroid backup before this flashing
ok if you need to flash rom from cwm than follow steps :
1) boot in recovery mode
2) wipe data
3) select apply update from sdcard and then select CWM file.
4) after CWM opens select your rom zip file
5) now flashing of new rom will start.
6) wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode only.
7) now reboot your phone.....
rom file is a zip file which can be obtained by searching on google.
***download rom file which is only applicable for your phone*
othervise your phone will brick***
this guide is applicable to all android phones......

You need to do much for flashing a custom rom..
You need to do a full wipe before flashing a rom not just data.
and you don't need to wipe data/factory reset since flashing a Custom rom will automatically wipe all data.
Also on some phones mostly HTC phones you need to Flash Boot.img manually when S-ON.
oh ok......

No touch isnt working in philz recovery. I recommend u to use cwm recovery. Its stable (maybe perfect).
Hi,
I am running PAC-ROM | All-in-One-ROM [4.3 / 4.2.2 ] on my 5110 with Philz Touch 5.03.7 (Base version 6.0.3.2) but want to install the following Rom:
[P51xx][5.x] CyanogenMod (CM12 / CM 12.1).
But I believe I need to update my Recovery to install a LP rom.
I have gone through the [GT-P51XX] TWRP | PhilZ Touch | CWM Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548476) to try to understand what I need to do but I am still unsure of exactly what I need to do.
I've located the files for the new recovery from (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25711) but I am unsure whether I flash the md5 file or the Tar file (or both)? Also, can I flash this new recovery from the Recovery I have currently got.
Any help with this would be appreciated as I haven't messed about with ROMs for over a year so I am a bit (a lot) rusty at the moment.
Thanks in advance
TWRP recovery is better and more intuitive.
Grab the latest zip file, not tar.md5 file, from here :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25708
and flash it directly from your PhilZ recovery.
Cool, cheers. Do I need to factory reset device before flashing that?
Thanks again
Just follow the OP instructions :
Installation
First time installing CyanogenMod to your Galaxy Tab 2, or coming from another ROM:
Read the official wiki
Copy GApps and CM-Rom ZIPs to your internal SDCard
Boot into Recovery
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvic cache
format system
Flash CM-Rom ZIP from internal SDCard
Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
Reboot
Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!

I was ok with the rom instructions, I couldn't find any instructions about flashing the recovery.
I just went for it so all sorted now, thanks for help.
