[Q] [ROM HELP] I can't flash a ROM!? Galaxy Gear 1 - Samsung Galaxy Gear

No matter what I can't do I can't get around anything... so some help would be nice please.
I managed to flash the watch with ease, but whenever I try to flash a ROM with Odin 3.09, I can't because it doesn't recognise the ROMs .zip extension... Somebody shed some light on how to do this please? I have flashed before, as I'm running a Phoenix rom on my S4.
My Firmware is V700XXUBNC1.... I did try updating when I first got it, and that was the final update it gave. (Hah).
I'm in NZ btw.
So can someone tell me a descriptive way of installing this ROM? thanks a bunch in advance n_n.
P.S. I do like this watch, but I want to get more out of it, so that's why I'm doing this.

I need help!

I'm in no way new to Android been around since the g1 era. I basically need help with installing a rom on my T-Mobile gtab. I've had my tab for over a year and I finally decided to root it last week. The problem I'm having is trying to load a custom rom onto it. Is there another way other than Odin that can be used or can I just download the roms and go straight to cwm and flash?

I have tried to do this several times in my own and my desktop will not let me extract the files that I need to do this on my own... just wanted to know if there was another way to put a from on my tab! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you can install ROM from CWM, depends on which ROM you try to flash. Just find all the ROM at the Development section and choose the files with .zip. They usually are flashable from CWM.
for example, this rom is for GSM and are flashable through CWM:

or if you are ready from ICSm you can also try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385153
Those provide .tar usually flashable with ODIN.
If you decide flashing using ODIN, you have to make sure that you connect you G-tab to Samsung Kies first before trying to use ODIN. (To make sure you have the correct Samsung Driver installed to your usb port connection).
I hope that helps. Please make a note, if you are upgrading from FROYO to Gingerbread, you probably need to flash new PIT file, and probably datadb.rfs as well. These files, I'll recommend to flash them using ODIN.
Good luck, and be careful not to soft-brick your G-Tab.
Since you have T-mobile tab like me,
I think your best bet will be going to Overcome ROM thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
Re-stock to Stock Safe 5 and then flash their kernel (all via Odin).
And from there you can CWM flash almost any ROM
Overcome website has broken images.

[Q] Pls HELP!!

Hey guys i really need some help. I tried to install clockworkmod on my T-mobile samsung galaxy s (sgh-t959v) and i guess i bricked it. All that comes out on the screen is a phone and a computer. can someone pls tell me what to do to fix this and install the right way.
Thank you in advance
Fairly new to all this myself and don't have experience with T-Mobile but if you go here you should be able to get a Firmware for your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-T959V&r=5#regiona
You should be able to download a stock firmware, odin & everything else you need to flash your stock firmware. From this site.
Perhaps wait and see other responses though as there maybe a way to fix without flashing a stock firmware. Also getting some info from someone with your phone on T-Mobile may be better.

Just confirming that what scubadude said above. Flash new firmware, it is a soft-brick and therefore recoverable. Something that needs to be added however is that you will need to make a login in-order to access the direct link. If the link still doesn't work after that then click firmware and follow on from there..

Please help me revert back to stock rom! I've read guides but I need more help!

Hey guys I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI/3G (Model GT-P7300 I think).
I somehow managed to install Overcome ROM on it when I first got it. Now I want to give it to my Dad and I would like to revert everything back to factory default stock and all. I'm not sure what a Kernal is and not sure if I need to revert that too but probably.
How do I best go about this? I am having much difficulty understanding from googling and reading forum posts and I am not familiar with the acronyms and lingo the community uses. Would you be so kind to please explain to me step-by-step detailed as if I was a child lol
Please link me to everything I need to download!
Oh and another thing: I bought this tab in Asia so it has English and other Asian languages installed. Can I install a different language ROM for my Dad? (I think he prefers Swedish). Will it be locked to any providers or anything?
Thank you very much in advance. I really need help with this
Here's the stock unbranded firmware for Nordic countries
Here's the branded firmware for Telia (couldn't find any other carrier branded for Sweden
Then just flash using Odin, that will wipe everything though, but you'll be back to stock
I don't understand how to flash with Odin .. I don't even know what Odin is! Please give me super simple instructions
I downloaded the firmware file and I put it on my tablet's SD card. I rebooted into Recovery mode and I try to apply the update from the ZIP file. But it says it cannot Open it?! What am I doing wrong?
All is explained in this post here, that is stickied at the top of this section
overome is quite a standard rom with features that are not really seen... the look is stock... I don't see a reason to revert back...
Thanks guys, I successfully flashed with Odin and I think it was a success. You have been very helpful.
But I am still not sure if 100% everything is set to default stock in case of a future warranty claim. Is there anything else I should do? Do I need to install stock Recovery as well?
Thanks again.

If you used Odin and one of the stock firmwares then it should have flashed a stock recovery as well IIRC, I'm pretty sure Odin on these tabs does the whole kit and kaboodle when it flashed

[Q] S Advance broke down, please this n00b really needs help!!

Hi guys,
I have a rooted galaxy s advance, and everything just worked fine for half a year or so but suddenly it wouldn't start on anymore..
I was trying to reboot it but it stops when showing the samsung galaxy s advance logo..
I've tried everything for as far as i know, reboot, wipe cache, factory reset..
I have the stock rom jb 4.1.2 xxlqe (dutch) installed, no mods..
I don't know if and how it's possible to put a custom rom(or stock rom again) on it because i can only access it via download mode..
I've exhaustively searched for a clear how-to but it's really unclear to me how to do it..
I've searched for people with similar problems but never found a solution..
The how-to's i find are so elaborate, and in great numbers so a good one is hard to find, i don't know what to do..
Does it matter which country you are from, what version of stock rom you have, does a custom rom include side effects?
I really need a simple step-by-step guide, if anyone could refer me to one i would die for it..
I am desperate! :crying: Really really thanks in advance!
Sorry for using bad english, it isn't my native language..
You should flash a firmware compatible with your device using Odin, just search it here. You'll find.
I won't give you a step by step because it already exists.
Follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
And search your firmware on samsung-updayes.com

Need help please

I've been out of the rom game for awhile now. I am rocking a Note 4 that I got day it came out which has NIH baseband on it. I am rooted and running Hyperdrive RLS3. I am now downloading N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_TMB firmware. Do I need to download bootloader for this? If so where do I get it from ? I know I need to use latest ODIN for this which I have 3.10.7. Anything else I should or need to do? thanks
