Like I mentioned before, that's exactly what I'm trying to do, but I already fail with Odin recognizing my tablet in download mode.

I think download mode is, holding power + volume down, and then pressing volume up, and not the other way around like you said. Although I have no yellow sign showing up (think it also says "recovery mode", and not "download mode"). Then I get a menu where I can chose between 5 things, like rebooting, installing from external memory card aso. Then I plug it in via USB, but Odin doesn't then recognize it at all, that's where I'm stuck all the time. Drivers are installed correctly, I even installed Kies to test, and it works fine.

EDIT: Got it now, like the faqs I read, they said, power + volume down, and that's actually "recovery mode". I didn't read that it should be done the other way around, but I tried now, and I'm in "download mode" now. Gonna try to root, wish me luck!!

EDIT2: Got it rooted, have the SU app on it. Wanted to download the ROM Manager to install CyanogenMod, it also downloads the Manager, but doesn't install it. So I tried to install it from external SD card, and the verify of the file always fails "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". Tried with 2 different files, RCs.

Anyway, so far nothing changed, have SU, but still Android 4.0.3 and the evil TouchWiz.

Works fine now, I just put official 4.1.2 FW on it, then rooted it and installed Clockmod recovery. I won't put now any custom FW on it, because at the moment I like it like this. I removed the widgets from the front page, added a very nice looking active wallpaper, and organized my apps a bit.

I also installed a modded Google Play Store, so I don't need to patch the games anymore with Lucky Patcher. I just installed Final Fantasy III and Chaos Rings, and they both just work fine.

Encountered another problem though whilst updating to 4.1.2, when I checked the data usage, it showed me that my tablet only has 2GB, and not 16GB. Apparently that happens sometimes. I download then a .pit file, the correct one with 16GB, and installed it via Odin, with the re-partition option checked. After that, it showed me again my 16GB.

That's great that you finally got it to work. What do you think of Android 4.1?

I never really used other Android devices, besides my JXD, where I think it doesn't matter at all which OS it has running, as long as it works. My HTC also has Android, but I never updated it, it's still on 2.3.5.

But it seems to work quite nice on the tablet I think.
