[Q] ROM Options Inquiry

---

I have an original Galaxy Tab (AT&T variant). Last year, I flashed the Euro ROM, and then flashed back to the only AT&T stock ROM I could find; the stock ROM is just fine except for the boot animation. It shows the SAMSUNG flash screen, then goes black during the remainder of the bootup. After a couple minutes, I can press power twice and the device is perfectly usable.

However, it seems that along with the boot animation, my recovery mode is also not possible. Just a black screen. I can get into download mode, but recovery is a no-go.

I want to flash an ICS based ROM, but all the ones I can find require flashing from SD, which is only possible if you can get into recovery mode. Are there any options available that will allow me to flash them via Odin or by any other means using my PC with the device in download mode?

Thanks in advance!

you are quite incorrect there.
To install ICS you need a CUSTOM recovery, mainly ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM Recovery).
Even if you can boot to your AT&T stock recovery, it will not work.

You can read the guide at overcome site, but it has missing pictures.

I don't know what version is AT&T stock. if it is Gingerbread, you probably can't just flash overcome kernel in tar format using Odin and just boot to recovery and use the recovery.

Thank you very much! I went through that process effortlessly. Now on to more experiments!
