[DEV] midNIGHT ROM (Need some advice)

---

I currently develop the midNIGHT ROM for the Epic 4g. I just acquired a Sprint Galaxy Tab...Do we have any progress on developing on the Sprint Tab. I know the GSM and CDMA Tab are kinda mixed together. I just need to root and go from there. Any advice?

You can root CDMA Tabs same as you can root other Tabs. There are recovery kernels for VZW from Koush and you could recompile your own Sprint kernel and make one for Sprint too.
I think someone released deodexed ROM for Sprint with little mods a while ago.
There is a lot of modding for GSM Tabs because there is a ton of leaked GSM ROMs while CDMA guys are pretty much stuck with stock one.

Dameon's CWM3 one click works but I don't know anything about kernels and for CWM3 as you know... Needs EXT4. The VZN will not work at all. noobnl has a redirect for CWM2.5 like he did on the epic, but it doesn't work right.

This is what you need if you mess things up. ODIN. DO NOT FLASH THE MODEM!
I use root explore for everything else. Don't be in download mode unless your batt has a good charge, it can go fast and it doesn't charge via USB.

I'm a bit nervous doing anything to the tab at this point. I have it as a way for my youngest to communicate so I don't want to kill it. Howver, I have been reading and it seems that I can odin back to stock now (minus the modem). I also have a PM into dameon to get his thoughts on his clockwork port working on the tab.

As far as being out of the game, I'm still hanging on. The ROM is still kickin....I would just love to get an UPDATE.zip for this damn thing. I don't have acces to a linux box so working with the tar is tough....

Basically I can odin the ROM you showed me (without the modem) and gain a deoxed system and root. Correct. That is pretty safe as far as I'm concerned. Am I correct in my understanding?


Thanks again for your help.

tried wubi? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ub...dows-installer
