well, when you start with your new 9001 you will get confused by adm, sdk and weird things like that. Take your time - you don't need it for the beginning - just follow these steps:
1) root (easy) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253707
thanks to KeksKlip - (to get into recovery you need to shut off, press Volume up and Power until Samsung appears, then wait for the box and press menu)
2) recovery (not so easy) - you will be happy to have a backup, so this is really wise to install it. The recovery from RomManager does not work - you have to install this modded recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331164 [Release]FeaMod Recovery 1.4 - based on CWM Recovery v. 5.5.0.4. thanks to manveru0
[EDIT: you can now flash FeaMod v1.4 via Odin: try this link http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63588663/FeaRecoveryV1.4.tar.md5 thanks to nail16]
You have to flash only FeaMod v1.2 (you need not more than that) therefore you need odin and AriesVE - links at the bottom of this thread. (you need them also for the next step)
To get your Phone into downloading mode you have to shut it down and press power volume down and home at the same time. After 5 seconds you see a nice downloading picture.
After flashing sucessfully you can make your fist backup (chose backup to internal card -it is faster)
3) new ROM (easy when you succeed with the last step) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533029 [ROM] I9001XXKQ7 [Android 2.3.6] thanks to mozgoder
Same procedure as before. You have to flash it by downloading mode.
Now you have a odexed KQ7 ROM (you need something like that for step 5) -and a nice lockscreen!
3a) root it (point 1 again) and install busybox installer from the market (I am not sure, if it is necessary, but you will need it later)
4) deodex your ROM (easy) - this step is required for installing additional themes etc. you can install it by recovery - that means, you have to copy the file to (internal) sdcard and choose this file by recovery: thanks to crybert http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23321508&postcount=24

wow, now you have a brilliant deodexed ROM! If everything went fine this far all apps and datas are still where they should be.
Make a backup!
5) now its getting vibrant - you can beginn modding your phone.

Its gr8 to see such topic nd discussion friends i m glad to be a part here in xda wid u all dev
Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA Premium App
Im running XXKQ7 stock rom (rooted) and have installed FeaMod recovery. If i understand correctly i need just to download that zip with deodexed rom and flash it via recovery? Should I wipe data/factory reset before flashin it?
No you don't have to wipe data but wiping cache would be good
deodexed rom include deodexed apps and framework so these don't effect you'r rom data cause data is a seperate partition anyways
you can also do this manually using adb
Q. Why there is a need to repack the firmware?
A. As you may know, the stock kernel in the stock firmware has the emmc hard brick feature enabled which is believed to be the reason of 2 hard brick incident reported in the forum. And even worse, the emmc hard brick bug (mmc_erase) can be called @ anytime after the system is booted with a buggy kernel, which means that your device can immediately get bricked after the first reboot.
Q. So is it okay to flash the ROM via odin with a different bootloader (i.e. boot.img)?
A. Theoretically, yes. But the problem is that when we repack the odin package with a modified boot.img. The download counter will rise and a yellow triangle will appear on every boot.
Q. So is there any way to flash the stock bootloader but without letting it get booted?
A. Yes. There is a way to do so. After you have successfully flashed a package via odin, the odin bootloader (based on BCT partition) will invoke the recovery bootloader to finish the install process. And if you are not using the stock recovery, the process will get halted and then leave you at the recovery (CWM) screen. And then you can flash a kernel via CWM at this point.
Q. Is there anything that I should aware of?
A. Yes. Just like flashing any firmware, After flashing the ICS package, it is important for you to backup all the important files before flashing.
Guideline 1 [For people who is willing to use CWM6 (provided by Adam77Root)] (prefered way) :
1. Turn on your device and connect it to a computer
2. Place the kernel file, superuser file (which can be flashed via CWM) and new_sec_csc.zip into your internal SD card first and make sure all your important data on /sdcard are backed up (You are free to select any kernel but make sure the mmc erase part get disabled from the kernel completely)
3. Turn it off and remove the external sdcard from the device
4. Download the ICS firmware files which contains GB kernel and CWM6
5. Put the device into download mode and flash the above package via odin 3.07. Place the package file (*.tar.md5) into PDA part (You can now flash with pit file as well, however the internal sdcard data will get wiped so it is important for you to make a backup for important files before flashing) (DO NOT attemp to flash any ICS package via odin 1.85 as there is a high risk that the download process get stuck in odin v1.x series, and you have to unbrick your device with nvflash tool if error occurs)
6. After the device is restarted, it will get into recovery (CWM) mode. And the script provided by Samsung will be failed to execute due to a assert call. (Don't worry, you can execute the script again by using the patched new_sec_csc.zip)
7. Backup any important data in /sdcard (external sdcard) now if you didn't do so. You can do this @ 'Mount and storage' -> 'Mount USB devices'.
8. 'Wipe cache' and 'Wipe data / factory reset' (make sure you have all your important data on /sdcard backed up and your have removed your external sdcard device)
9. If the above stage has wiped your CWM flashable zip file as well, you can mount the device to a computer via mount menu and you can place the zip file to the phone as mass storage again.
10. Install the CWM flashable zip file (superuser, new_sec_csc.zip and your kernel file) from sdcard (For an unknown odd reason, all the packages you gonna install in this step will have signature verification error, but it is safe to proceed. Just switch off the signature verification from the menu or choose to 'Install untrusted package'.)
11. After you flashed kernel, you are free to flash anything and free to reboot now.
12. If you have used a pit file for flashing the package in odin, a message will be appeared in notification center telling you the filesystem on /sdcard cannot be recognized. Just click on it to format the sdcard and then you are free to use anything now.
13. If you are still afraid of breaking system integrity as you were not using the samsung recovery script to finish the update process, navigate to 'Options -> Back up and reset -> Factory data reset' and totally reset the device there.
P.S. If you accidentally pressed reboot the system now in CWM 6, don't worry, the system will not be able to boot into normal mode. And you can redo all the things since the beginning.
Update #1 : During testing the flash process, I have found that the repacked firmware cannot be flashed with odin 1.83. It is important to get all the ICS firmware being flashed with odin 3.07 (or 3.x sereis) instead v1.x series. Otherwise you have made a risk that your partition (PIT) table is messed up so srsly that you have to use nvflash tool to restore everything. I will tell this to cooleagle to get everyone knows of it.
XXLQ9 :
Stock package with GB kernel and CWM6 which is based on safe stock GB ZSLE6 kernel (just extract the file in the splited zip files) : http://www.mediafire.com/?uq5tg9o7nli04b2 and http://www.mediafire.com/?b5i571br0x07c38
CWM flashable package :
- Superuser CWM flashable package : http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip or Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip in attachments (But you will be unable to update with the 3.2 RC3 build, use 3.1.3 one if you want)
- My own kernel (flashable via CWM) : UnknownzD_Kernel_with_superuser.zip (with superuser, good for first time install) and UnknownzD_Kernel.zip in the attachments
- Patched Samsung install script (the one which failed to run) : new_sec_csc.zip in the attachments
Odin v3.07 : Odin307.zip in the attachments
Credits go to Adam77Root for his CWM image and someone(!?) who has uploaded odin 3.07 to xda forum. Will try to check his name later.
Short change log about my kernel (The longer one will get posted when I start another thread for it) :
4 IO scheduler added
Voodoo sound patch added
Full fp calculation based on hardware fp opcode only (which should makes the device consumes less energy while providing the same performance level)
MMC erase function tootally disabled
Default.prop get modified to increase the performance
Based on ICS 3.x kernel src code released by Samsung
If you gonna use my kernel, please make sure that you have efs_backup.img backed up safely after flashing my kernel package, as it contains your device's IEMI info, which can save you from future disaster as you can use the unbrick tool with it. You can backup the efs_backup.img by :
1. Flash my kernel in CWM
2. Mount and storage -> Mount USB devices
3. Copy the efs_backup.img from the sdcard to your own computer (it is vital for you as you can use the unbrick tool later)
Now I am stuck @ finding a proper file host to upload the files.
waiting for this!

You can root it on your own with superuser zip file. And busybox binary is not yet dropped into /sbin/ as I believe it comprise the system integrity back in GB kernel. Init.d will be supported in near feature. All the things that I changed is just inside the kernel and recovery and provide a safe envrionment for user to continue to flash their own desired kernel. Nothing more.
For kernel development, I will make a separate thread in dev section later.
Sorry I have to postpone the release as I have to repack everything with the nordic release (XXLQ9) now.
Ok, I'm sure you know I asked just for general information. I supposed your answer yet
Anyway, I'm sure its a good job. With the new version (nordic) I suggest you to upload releases to dropbox our something easier. Anybody could make a mirror in other servers later :thumbup:

Yea I just saw the PM, it is really useful for me tbh. Thanks for your help.
Okay after many hours of testing, I am happy to release the ICS XXLQ9 package with GB kernel and CWM 6 (based on the one posted by Adam77Root) that should be able to let you flash your own kernel after flashing it. Download links will be up shortly.
So after 5~6 times of srs bricking, I finally get it working correctly after working overnight.
Ok I have released the ROM already, please try to use it if you know how to use the unbrick tool. This is because I want to ensure that the package can be flashed safely in Odin v3.x instead of v1.x series.

2. flash CWM 5.x via ODIN 1.8
3. Flash ardatdat kernel via CWM

Rooting Nordic ROM is quite easy, that is if you are on GB (if you are on ICS you will have zero free space in system space), so when you are on GB you need CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839900 use CWM to wipe data and format system.
Flash Nordic ROM (Odin), than CWM, go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and download binary only (ARM), now use CWM to install SU binary.
You need SU app from Play Store and you are rooted.
Nice work! Thanks!

Basically the things you mentioned above are included in the package / guide already. Tbh this should not be dangerous. But I want more people to test it first because last time when I released the GB kernel, a lot of people complained about the things that do not occur on my phone.
oh btw about the zero free space in system space, I believe it is just a bug in the filesystem. You can fix it easily by using e2fsck, which is actually included in my kernel script.
This is just explanation about staying stock. Your work and effort is well above this. Thanks in name of all flash addicts
So after many times of tests, I guess it is safe to use the build already, just make sure you have everything backed up before updating (actually you should do this for any fimrnware update). If you have found any problem, just report the problem here. I will repack every stock firmware following the same method until Samsung acknowledge that the MMC_CAP_ERASE is removed from stock kernel.
If you have found your device bricked after using any ICS update (for example, unable to flash the device any more via odin protocol), please let me know via pm please so that I can guide you to fix your phone in IRC.

When you are updating the ROM from GB to ICS better to wipe data or else you face some Force Closes and other issues....

The wiping cache part is actually a part of odin download process. Everytime when you flash a new firmware in odin, the odin bootloader will invoke some scripts stored in /cache within recovery mode, and then wipe out these scripts / the whole partition as they are no longer needed.
However the wiping /data part is actually an essential part of firmware update and you should do it on your own if you are using CWM based firmware. This is because if you flash a firmware via odin, the data partition gets wiped after the device rebooted.
tbh it should be safe if you didn't wipe the /cache partition but not for the /data partition. Just some usls scripts and T9DB left behind in /cache. But incompatible binaries may still stays in /data if you didn't wipe it.

dont include the kernel in cm roms
why?
because you have to flash the kernel seperately
why?
because you need to reboot to recovery after flashing the kernel and format system data cache to convert it to ext before flashing the rom
This means if you are flash it from stock without being on ext first the rom will not boot
If I am on a cm rom and if I flash this rom funcion?
Sorry for my bad english.

Sorry about that.Actually including a kernel in the zip is way more convenient than flashing it separately.Next time I won't include the kernel in the zip.

you can include kernel but you would have to change the instructions
it would be
goto cwm
mount system data cache
flash rom zip
reboot to recovery
format system data cache
mount system data cache
flash rom zip again
restart
in theroy that would work
but some people might like the choice between kernels eg percys or black reactor so if they wanted a different kernel they would either have to replace the boot.img in the zip or flash a different kernel after flashing your rom zip for the 2nd time in above instructions
nice port will try and give report asap
non transperent would be nice....

PLEASE READ READ READENTIRE OP
"ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
BETA v4.11-B01 (NE1/KK)
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.6.1.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (3-4 on the S3 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
[Safestrap pre V4.07] Requirement: busybox. Grab "Busybox" from the Play Store and run the installer.
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application, Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
INSTALL VIDEO by DMX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RZI...e_gdata_player
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Open your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK, Grant SU access, Use the "Install Recovery" button.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again. (DEBUGGING THIS AS I GET TIME)
- Busybox is now required for the Safestrap APK to work correctly

WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

The theme zips are not flashable. First installation has to be done manually:

- On SD card (if device has internal and external storage, use the internal) open TWRP folder and create a folder called "theme", without capital letters.
- Copy ui.zip to theme folder.
- Restart to recovery.

I have deodexed a stock rom VRUDNE1 and tried flashing it and i get a successful flash but on boot up once it gets to the red verizon screen it just stays there. ive let it sit for over 30 mins and no luck. ive tried everything i can think of including rebuilding the rom....???? and i doing something wrong here??

Use archikitchen I had built one and it booted.
Clone archikitchen repo for last changes.
You need ubuntu or virtual on windows.
deodexe first test to know if its boot.
Then add root, bbx, and debloat with archi only. You can remove apk manualy.
Dont include the boot.img! Not neccessary
build with bbe command.

HI!
I pulled some files rom my Vivax tpc-101 3G to try porting a custom ROM. Since that didn't work out I wanted to post the files here for someone that might need a stock rom, kernel, recovery, twrp... or wanted to try porting a ROM.
Files included in this folder:
- stock kernel
- magisk kernel
- stock recovery
- twrp port from a porting tool
- TWRP backup of system
NOTES:
- Touch is not working correctly on TWRP (flipped and inverted touch)
- System backup is rooted with magisk and contains some build.prop tweaks. Changed boot animation.
DOWNLOAD:
- Drive Link
PS:
Could anyone make a flashable zip out of the twrp bakup? I tried but I don't know how to create the updater-script and there is no ROM for this tablet that I could use as a flashable zip base.
