[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
The difference is just as it says, either temporary or permanent. This means with temporary that you only boot the recovery image once without actually flashing it to the device. When you flash the image to the device its permanent, which means you overwrite the current recovery and without a backup you cant go back.

When you flashed permanently you can go into the recovery with 'adb reboot recovery', however this currently only works when connected remotely to ADB (Remote ADB app), thus not through USB cable.

The recovery itself is in both methods identical.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] xavierdylan:
I seen a few ppl mention this

Now to make a full "original" fastboot flashable restore fileset:

Boot: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/boot.img

but isnt dev/block/mmcblk0p5 the cache partition and not the boot partition?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
Yes, it is.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /system ext4 ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

Full list is here courtesy of seraphimserapis

Im not really sure if mmcblkp05 is even useful. I thought it was just an empty partition for OTA updates, which would mean cache is not really a good name for it :rolleyes:

Also, /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is the recovery partition. You want that too. Im uploading factory system, efs, boot and recovery partitions now.

They will be in my dropbox so if you want a copy and don't have a dropbox account, hit the referral lnk in my signature and sign up (free) or go here

If you use the referral we both get an extra 250Mb space

Anyone who needs the original recovery and boot partitions, I've added links in Post 3 of this thread. I also have system sitting in my dropbox. If you want that, you will need a dropbox account. Use the link in my signature below if you need to sign up for one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] gjroeleveld:
If efs is wath it normaly is, you shouldn't share it,

Because it contains your imei etc..

Everybody should backup it's own /efs partition!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
:o Thanks gjroeleveld - it's gone now
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Chainfire:
For me it is stuck on "booting downloaded image"... nothing happens after that. Waited 15 minutes or so now.

EDIT: OH MY GOD, somebody shoot me. Fixed, rooted, confirmed the new firmware does unlock bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Chainfire:
If a recovery is flashed, is there a key combo that launches you into recovery ? Can't seem to figure it out... and recovery is kinda useless without it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] xavierdylan:
welcome to the party Chainfire. what were you doing wrong?

So far i have only booted into recovery using fastboot. a button combination would be nice. may be bcmobile may know of one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Chainfire:
I don't want to talk about it :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] xavierdylan:
im suspecting download mode instead of fastboot. :p

does any one have any tools to backup the entire stock rom?

im guessing you cant use the dd commands to recompile the rom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] xavierdylan:
Any tried this before to dump roms?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
hi bcmobile

how can i make sure fastboot can be executed from anywhere?

I tried and failed to run fastboot in the other folders......
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
So far a button combination is unknown. You can either get into recovery through fastboot boot image or adb reboot recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
Add the folder fastboot.exe is in to environment variable PATH. In Windows 7 it is located here: System Properties >> Advanced (tab) >> Environment Variables... (button) >> System variables (list) >> Path (row).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
thanks egan

I have rooted my devices, thank you again.

BTW, how can i reboot into recovery?

and should I install CWM recovery into the tablet through ROM manager.apk?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
No problem :).

You can reboot into recovery from Remote ADB (app in Market), which gives you remote ADB over WIFI. You use the command 'adb reboot recovery'. When you do this from ADB with the USB cable your tab will only shutdown and not reboot into recovery, except when you use the (newer) stock rom in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1083517. Its fixed in there.

You should not install CWM Recovery from ROM Manager, its not released for this tab yet and can mess up your device. Its better to wait for seraphimserapis, to finish his version of CMW Recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080028
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
thank u egan,

I have installed the P7100BUKDF rom on my device and runs happily:)

I will waiting for seraphimserapis and also his CWM Recovery. Great job!!:D

EDIT: a friend told me that there is a new ROM named GT-P7100MSAVDI

but I cannot get any information (even i google it ) so.......just provide this info for you;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Chainfire:
Either that ROM has one letter too many, or there's a new device variant :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] laoya:
I got that website which come from my friend and found out that so called ROM was coming from the official Ireland Samsung web. It only shows no results for now. Maybe it is a joke……:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bonzai3558:
Does anyone have the stock ROM for the Google I/O tab? I flashed the P7100BUKDF ones to it and now my usb is not being recognized.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] xavierdylan:
what do u mean by not working? what happens when u connect it to your computer? it may have to do with ur device now going by a new model number. the P7100BUKDF means ur device may show up as the 10.1v and not the 10.1 google i/o

Try the info in this post to update ur android_winusb.inf file with the 10.1v details and see if it works

Now, I can't push the root.zip file to /sdcard. I get the following error:

failed to copy 'skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip' to '/sdcard': Is a directory

What does this mean?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
Should be /sdcard/

I've updated the guide.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] bcmobile:
:rolleyes: That update was for the Vodafone Tab (10.1v) so lots of things probably aren't working (touchscreen, camera etc).

You need to post these questions to the 10.1 general or 10.1 development forums. This one is for the Vodafone Tab.

You will need at least the /system and /boot images from the IO tab to put things back the way they were. You will then need to flash them via fastboot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] lightyear26:
Thank you! It worked, I now have root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] haruryu:
I did everything in the first post, but my device is not perma rooted...

after giving the command:

Fastboot flash recovery ........... img

everything is going fine and OK.

after rebooting the device and searching for the SuperUser app, there is none. so it means its not rooted. do i miss any step, i litterly did everything in the first post...

device dont gave any error and fastboot didnt gave any errors :S

Thank you very much from Seville

My english is very bad but your instructions clear indeed.Just now i am a happy suoer user with my new Galaxy Tab 10.1v.

Let me make you a suggestion:When you modify the google driver if you copy and paste at the bottom of the usb.inf document ,windows does not find the driver.Then you have to cpoy and paste at the initial part of it.

Thans a lot

Can't permanent root, only temporary root works...

When I try to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v, it stays on Flashing MBR to device and doesn't go to recovery mode to select the zip file... I even waited for 30 mins to see if it would eventually work... I can only get it working by doing the temporary root option and when I do, it goes straight into recovery without any waiting... Does anyone know why? I have android version 3.0.1...

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] tigerminx:
What could be the problem if fastboot devices list my device (serial number), but adb devices doesn't list anything? Any suggestions? When I try and push the zip file I get:

error: device not found

UPDATE: With USB Debugging Enabled I can access the phone via ADB when the Tab has booted up. But I cannot access via ADB when I power off and enter fasboot mode? Almost like it disables USB debugging when it powers off?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] pwan7505:
How did you get it to work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
@tigerminx Please ask your question in one related thread, not multiple like you do now.

As said in the other thread, ADB doesn't work while in fastboot mode. It works in recovery and Honeycomb (as you experienced).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Egan:
Just power off by holding the power button. Then power it on and when started execute this command through terminal: adb reboot recovery
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] tigerminx:
My apologies Egan, thanks for the advice. I have succesfully rooted my TAB now. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] tomvond:
whats the best way of back up the device before perma root? from a pc?

thx
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] tomvond:
Ok rooted here also! With the adb original driver is the only thing that worked
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] twigster:
Thanks for this root assistance.

I didnt go with perma root because my device is still new and im still trying things out to make sure i dont need to take it back.

But still find that I can install and run root requiring apps, possibly because superuser app was loaded under root and given full root access. Then when other apps ask for root, you have the option of giving it to them. So dont feel perma root is necessary at this stage.

This is after a reboot of the device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] ronalgps:
hey guys new in the club tab.10.1 im trying to root i did all step but when i run command

fastboot boot skitzandroid-recovery.img my cmd is waiting for device

it look like fastboot driver missing but i had installed pdanet desktop it installed some driver but nothing happen
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] tomvond:
Hi, disconnect the tab, install pda net. Then pda net gives an error. Leave the installation open. Now make sure that your device is in fastboot mode. in the upper left corner it must say fastboot. If so, connect to your pc. and look which driver is installed for it. It must say adb original driver. Thats the only one that worked for me. hope this helps

Hi there,

thanks so much for your guides

having a lot of difficulty getting fastboot to recognize my device.

adb devices works, I see my S/N listed however, when I bring my device into fastboot mode and try the fastboot devices no serial is displayed.

I have unlocked my bootloader succesfully, this is evident that "Lock State : unlocked" is displayed when my tab is in fastboot mode..

things I have tried:

pdanet - installed whilst in fastboot and normal mode. my driver name in device manager is (ADB Interface -> ) "Android Original ADB Interface"

I have also tried the SDK method with copy and pastin the tab USB details into the driver file.

this is really doing my head in and I would truly appreciate some assistance

I am an idiot - I had not updated all sources within SDK... :o

I am now rooted, thanks again :D

thanx
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] zbuggy:
sorry...kind of new with this ....can someone help me ?

on the "adb" command it does nothing...only showing me the list wit the adb commands....and when i tryed the fastboot comand it sais "waiting for the device" and does nothing....it's like the computer can't see the device
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] DannyBiker:
Same as everyone : can't get the drivers to work. I NEVER see "ADB Original drivers", even with Pda's method. All I get is a "fail" message on the tab when Pda's installation tries to install the app on the tab.

"fastboot boot skitzandroid-recovery.img" leads to "waiting for device" and "fastboot devices" doesn't do anything.

I already posted in many topics in the last few days but no answer. I guess people don't care once they are rooted...:(

why not found?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] isimobile:
It means it is not detecting the device either for the following reasons:

You are still in fastboot mode?

or USB Debugging is not selected in settings->applications->development-> usb debugging should be ticked?

or ClockWorkmod should be loaded and sdcard must be mounted?

or Drivers not installed correctly?

"And: signature verification failed

My 10.1v vodafone has been updated with the Portuguese version, is why?

Do you have any solution for this situation?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Fadawah:
I unlocked the Bootloader and did every step up to 6), but then it says that the device was not found. My tab doesn't show up in the menu of external devices, but my drivers are updated. I also activated debugging mode.

When I start my tablet and choose download I can already choose for something called Odin? Does that mean my tablet is ready for this program to be installed?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Fadawah:
How do you get out of Fastboot mode?

Shouldn't Clockworkmod be installed AFTER this tutorial?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Fadawah:
It worked. HOWEVER, some steps didn't work for me, which is either due my lack of knowledge or just my tablet.

Everything worked for me up to 7) Copy the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file to the root of your sdcard. You can eithe drag/drop, or run: Whatever I did, my Command prompt kept saying "error: device not found", even though all my drivers were installed correctly. The solution to this problem (= not being able to copy stuff with command prompt) is to just manually copy and paste everything to your tablet.

What also helped is to put the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip & .img files in your android/tools folder instead of making a root folder on your desktop.

So glad it works now

[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] Fadawah:
Here's what you have to do. Put the .img & zip files to C:\android\tools (the ...\android\tools folder that contains the fastboot files). Then copy the .img & .zip files also to your tablet.

Once that is done type cd C:\android\tools (or wherever your Android SDK is located). If you then type fastboot boot skitzandroid-recovery.img, it should work

Problem: can't access to system/csc

Hi

first of all thanks for this thread. Everything worked like a charm and I got 3.2 to work on my 10.1v.

Than the trouble started:

First the pad got slower to a point it wouldn't start again and than it froze. At a certain point it wouldn't even start up again and I had to use the skitzandroid to get it recognised by odin. Than I pushed my old rom back on it. So far so good. The problem is that now, when I want to reroot it everything works like a charm except I get this error message and superuser doesn't get installed:

:confused: can't access to system/csc....

I redid all the unlocking and rooting processes and everything seems to work up to the point I wan to run the sip from the device. Anybody knows how to tackle this problem? Thanks in advance
