Tablet Need help with Mobile Odin [p3100]

After the long wait I've successfully rooted my p3100 without voiding my warranty and installed CWM recovery using mobile odin [flash counter is at 0 ] ,now that i search the entire tab 2 forums to find a suitable rom to flash using mobile odin , and failed to find one

1.Is there any rom that i can flash via mobile odin for p3100 ?

2.what formats does it support [i came to know it doesn't support .zip files] to flash a rom like CM9 or CM10 ??

3.Is there any special method to flash custom roms using mobile odin ?

4.does flashing kernel increase binary counter ???

thank you in advance

How did you root your tab without increasing the counter?
Anyway you can flash roms only using any recovery. Odin is used to flash stock roms and the cwm recovery. Even customs roms can be flashed in the recovery, it does not increase the binary counter. No flashing kernel using recovery and mobile odin do not increase binary counter.

follow this thread to roo : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1791193

i guess flashing custom rom using cwm recovery will increase the binary counter

i tried to flash a boot.img (cm9 kernel) using mobile odin but it did not recognize it ,i dont know where i am doing wrong

Flashing with cwm will never increase binary counter. If that happened it would completely defeat the purpose of mobile odin. Binary counter only increases if some thing is flashed through the download mode. To answer the second question put the boot.img in kernel option. I guess it should work then. Thank you very much for the info on rooting. Does it work on 4.0.4 or is the loop hole patched.
