v1.2.3 is just a all inclusive upgrade of 1.2.1 with kernel changes of 2.01 . Note that if you upgrade again to 1.2.3 you will not have the OC feature. The developer explain this in his release of 1.2.3

quote : Version 1.2.3
Included Overcome Kernel v2.0.1 (Non-OC version) to prevent extra flashing for users coming from stock.

So, better stay at 1.2.2 then wait for v2.0.1 ? Non-Oc means?

Means is only at 1 Ghz stock speed - no option for you to overclock to 1.2 or 1.4 Ghz

Pls teach me how u enter recovery mode & wipe battery stats. Already pm u. I face batery % drop also..

i'm not sure it's work for u, but u can try...

1- Enter Clockworkmod Recovery by pressing Volume UP and Power On at the same time.
2- Choose Advance by pressing On button.
3- Then choose Wipe Battery Stats
4- Select Yes, and wait for it to finish
5- Select Go Back, to return to the Main Menu
6- Select reboot system now
7- Off ur Tab then charge it until 100%

how to go to recovery?my battery is draining so fast..i just bought 1 week only..T_T i cannot find where is advance..

That's correct! If you've already flashed 1.2.1 with the original 2.0 kernel or the 1.2.2 update successfully, there's essentially no need to flash 1.2.3.

Kernel 2.0.1 is basically Kernel 2.0 with the partition checking disabled. He's re-versioned it to help solved the earlier confusion, due to many uploads and take-downs of different versions of the 2.0 kernel (that had the partition checking enabled, hence causing all the users either getting stuck at the Galaxy Tab screen or with no CWM recovery installed (they just saw the standard/stock Android Recovery (3e) mechanism) -- Basically no sexy robotic voice!! )

Anyway, if you're already on ROM 1.2.1 with a kernel version that's higher than frank@OVERCOME #45 (check in your system info!) you're already there!

Sometimes, it happens. Sometimes, after flashing a new kernel, there may be some corruption of the battery stats, which basically reports incorrect data back to the system. You can either go into recovery and wipe your battery stats OR let your Galaxy Tab complete a few cycles (Full charge to complete discharge for say 2 or 3 times) and it should get resolved.

Err... it depends on what you're running on now.

Here's a very good instruction set that XDA member Corodius has written, but you'll have to substitute kernel 2.0.1 for kernel 1.0 and ROM 1.2.3 for 1.2.1

But basically, assuming you're from stock/another ROM:
0. For best results -- best to do this when your tab is 100% charged, as usually some might suggest doing a battery wipe later, to clear any problems with battery-life... and let the Tab go through a full discharge cycle or two after this!
1. Just backup your data and move it to your external SD and/or your PC (just to be safe!)
2. Get the 2.0.1 kernel (best get the OC-UV TAR/ODIN version, which I'll explain why in Point 9!) & the 1.2.3 ROM from the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
3. Copy the ROM to the root of BOTH your internal and external SDs (The reason is, some can see what's in the external SD but some can't -- me, I can. So this is just to be safe, as you'll delete both these files after this anyway.)
3. Fire up ODIN (if you don't have it, get it here: http://www.apksmash.com/corodius/galaxytab.zip) and flash the kernel (for detailed instructions, refer to corodius' post!)
4. Once it reboots, you should be at the Galaxy Tab bootscreen with the logos, and if successful, you'll here a "sexy robotic voice, as alterbridge86 puts it" This is where the conversion to ext4 takes place. It might take a few minutes for this to happen... mine took about 3-4 minutes. Then it'll go into the animated boot sequence... let it boot completely into ROM.
5. Boot back into recovery, and do a wipe! (Factory is usually recommended, but just do a dalvik/battery wipe as well... remember what I said in Point 0?)
6. Install the Overcome 1.2.3 ROM via install zip from sdcard...
7. Reboot, and wait a while...
8. Walla... Overcome 1.2.3 with the 2.0.1 Non-OC kernel installed!
9. OPTIONAL!! Remember why I asked you to get the OC-UV TAR/ODIN version earlier? Some like myself, don't really like to overclock (OC...in case some people still don't understand the shortform) the journey ends here. BUTTTTT..... some of you might wanna go overclocking, and this is the kernel you need to flash again! See... just saved you some time from needing to download it again in case you wanna over-clock. The ROM comes with the 2.0.1 Non-OC built in!

Have fun!

thanks for the explanation
i am currently in overcome 1.2.2 ..so just wanna know d way to get update to 1.2.3..is it must flash it?

from what stage should I press vol up + power on button? When I did that,
It just goes off (same like I press power on alone) so there is no menu

Switch off your phone first. Then pressand hold volume up and power buttons. Let go when you see samsung logo.

ok I got to recovery menu (step 1). When I press power on button (step 2) nothing happens

Once youre in recovery menu, use vol down button to scroll down to advance.Click using the power button etc.

Again, like I mentioned earlier... if you're already on Overcome 1.2.2... when you check on your system information, you should be running a kernel that states frank@OVERCOME #8X or #9X --- basically any kernel with a revision number that's higher than #45...

Then there's absolutely no reason to go to 1.2.3, other than wanting a higher version number! There's absolutely no reason for it. Seriously. ;-)

I know for a fact that the developer's working on Overcome ROM 2.0 as we speak. Just hang in there... it should be here soon. It's in the over right now...

However, if you're really insisting on having the latest ROM number... just get the Overcome 1.2.3 UPDATER (and not the full version which will wipe your system...) and just flash it via CWM. That's it.

Hi, I'm a new Galaxy Tab owner. still learning how to use it I've a question, did anybody manage to succesfully flash his rom to one that support arabic? I've read a few posts from users who face problems trying to do that. Quite afraid to try it myself now. So if anybody has succesfully install arabic rom into his galaxy tab, please teach me how to do it. Thank you very much.

Understood but there's no advance. Got
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard.update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition

What rom are you now on ?If already on cook rom, what kernel are you on ? The ADVANCED mode is the last item on the main menu. Looks like you are on stock original recovery mode
