Hi,
to install CWM Recovery and root the tab, you can follow these instructions (point A) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722745
Then if you want to install a custom rom, follow these instruction (this is for CyanogenMod 10.1 but I think it is the same way to install other roms) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052290

Are you purchasing new ? Or are getting this second hand ? The only reason I ask is because 4.2.1 is not the "stock" software at this time.
Mine came stock with 4.0.4, and I have read that they are now shipping with 4.1.1 installed
The only 4.2.1 version currently out is the custom CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM.
May just be a typo on your original post - but figured I would ask just in case

Change the title of your thread to reflect your question. This will help others in your situation to quickly find and learn from your post, in turn hopefully preventing more 'how do I root/flash' threads.

[Q] Rooting my Ace Plus S7500 - Please help

Hi, I am fairly new to this forum and did the read the noobie section first, so I hope I am abiding by any rules.
Firstly, I have a Samsung Ace Plus S7500 on EE Network running gingerbread. I am fairly good with computers and have had experience in some basic things so I should be able to hold my own with the lingo.
Basically, I want to root my phone and put Jellybean with 'Softkeyz' as my O/S, however I read that a lot of ROM's are faulty or neglect aspects of the phones features, is there a very basic simple O/S that I can have? Perhaps even staying on GB like I am but just adding superuser abilities.
Please help me someone! I can supply more information if needed.. Thanks in advance!

First of all you need to root your Ace Plus and have CWM Recovery installed on your phone.

Thanks very much for answering. Can I ask what the difference is between 10.1 and 10.0? and also what is Google apps for 10.1 and 10.0? Is it just the play store? Or defined apps that work well with this ROM?
Please help!
Thanks!

CM 10.0 is Jellybean 4.1.2 & CM 10.1 is Jellybean 4.2.2
Gapps is a package that contains Play Store and other apps required for Rom. You must flash Gapps after flashing Rom.
Don't just say thanks Hit thanks.

[Q] Are all these tutorials actually different?

Hi there. I'm getting into programming and hardware modding/hacking and have decided to use my phone as my first breadboard. After perusing XDA (and other sites, and youtube) for several days I am a bit hesitant before moving forward. I understand most of the terminology I've learned, however the tutorials for actually using the concepts seem to be all over the place, or, there appears to be several thousand ways of doing the same thing.
I am asking for confirmation that I have found the correct order of operations and tutorials for what I hope to do.
I would like to install Cyanogen 10.2 on my Verizon Galaxy S3;
Model: SCH-I535(.10)
Version: 4.1.2
***As a new user I am unable to post outside links. I have posted the google search that will bring you to the video in question as the first result.***
First, Root: "wccftech root-install-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-s3-sch-i535-android-411-412"
Second, Upgrade to 4.2.2?: Do I need to do this? Or will Cyanogen 10.2 jump me right from 4.1.2 to 4.3. If needed, I will find the proper tutorial.
Third, Flash Cyanogen 10.2: "How To Install CyanogenMod 10.2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S3!" (Making sure I use the verizon .zip) Specifically in this tutorial: He's using the Team Win Recovery Project. Many other tutorials do not use this. Should it be used? Is this a preference thing? Is it safer or simpler to use a different program or no program at all?
Fourth: Enjoy.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Galaxy 7.7 (P-6810) & Jelly Bean …

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy 7.7 (P-6810) and was wondering if it is possible to install a working version of Jelly Bean?
I use the device mainly for travelling and really enjoy the battery life and screen quality but am not too happy with the OS when compared to my friend’s tablets with Jelly Bean installed … I have been waiting, in hope that Samsung would release an official update (following the 6800), but it would appear this is never going to happen
This is my only Android device, I am used to IOS, Jailbreaking etc but have no experience of rooting, installing custom ROMs and have no idea where to start.
If someone could give information or provide clear instructions on how to do this safely, so as not to brick the device, it would be much appreciated!
Many thanks in advance.

Here are some links to study that will assist you in performing the tasks.
For basic background this link gives you some concepts and other useful information it is a little old but I think the concepts are valid. [GUIDE | READ ME | DISCONTINUED-28/06/12 ] A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Tab 7.7 ▓░░ [ 1 2 ]
I think you said you had a P6810 here is a link to root and install CWM. Again this guide may not show the latest versions but gets you started on the process. [ROM&GUIDE] Official Firmwares SGT 7.7 P6800 + P6810 Download Here is another thread that might be helpful: [FAQ] Common Issues and Solutions for SGT7.7, now with JB (12 May 2013+)
For example the latest CWM is 6.0.3.0.
This is a start by following the instructions and cautions you should be ok. As discussed before the dainel_hk ROMs are what I use and I've been very happy with his efforts. Happy flashing. Lots of research (part of the fun in having this device) and paying attention to what you are doing should keep you from bricking your device. Again good luck and have fun. Your other option would be to find someone close to you and get tem to help you through the steps.:fingers-crossed:

Can I update Tab2 7" to Android 4.4 or higher

Hi,
Total Newbie here so sorry if this question seems silly or otherwise!!
I have dug my old, redundant Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7" out from the drawer with the intention of using it in the car to operate my GoPro Hero 3. Only snag is the tablet is running 4.1 and The official GoPro app needs 4.4 or above to work.
So im looking for an idiots guide to booting and upgrading if possible., or for someone to show me how to complete the process step ny step. I have tried to look on the interweb for a guide, but there are several, mainly conflicting, guides that I have looked at. None of these seem to make sense to a complete newbie.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

OK

Don't use cwm, it is fully outdated and support for it stopped long time ago.
Go and find twrp for your device.
