Odin files end with the .md5 extension so the one that says stock recovery is what you need.

And if you look at the OP I left instructions on how to get into odin. Doesnt matter what mode your usb thingy is in, you aren't even getting into the device OS. You are only in bootloader mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tenbeau:
Thanks was just able to flash the stock recovery over the stock rom. This thread is a great help and I thank you profusely for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Vertumus:
Big thanks for Robobear and Lord. Root and CWM done based on ur instruction

Many thanks guys

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Glad you got through, notice that i have modified the OP a bit so this way you know what ROm/KERNEL will be compatible with your device.

Make sure you use CWM and make a backup of what you have now, then feel free to try out any of the available ROMS even if they arent listed for your tab... at worst you will revert to stock :). But that way you can help devs iron out what works and doesn't.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Vertumus:
Hi m8,

thank you so much for ur fast response. I bought ROM Manager Premium and I have to say quite nice app.

I never used it before, since I didn't have any needs for that kind of app.

Can I backup my rom trough rom manager, since I saw option inside app "backaup ur current rom"?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
You probably can but I will advice against it until you are sure that rom manager fully supports your tab. I will advice that you go into CWM and do your back up from there. and whatever other installs and flashing you veer need to do. For now, I will use rom manager to a minimum unless told otherwise.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] JCahill33:
Hey everyone,

Thank you for all the hard work on these ROMs/Kernels...I'm very new to the Galaxy tab 10.1 (just moved from a Xoom for work)...the xoom had many kernels and options....which one of these does anyone suggest as being the best. On the Xoom I liked the performance boost on the OC rom's...please let me know your opinions. Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] :
Lorddeff,

First of all this is an awesome thread. Way to go into full detail for those who may not know a lot about ClockworkMod/Flashing/Rooting or what not. This thread is very well put together and makes me feel great to be a part of this community. To all the Devs/Cookers and whatnot keep up the awesome work and feel free to pm me for any questions as I will do the same for my ROM coming soon. I may not know a hell of a lot but you never know who knows what.

Regards

Thanks... for a split second I thought someone had jacked your account lol :) Still waiting on that ROM lol.

Haha you're welcome buddy. And it's coming man QUIT PRESSURING ME!! Hehe jk. It most likely will be called ThE IRoNHiDE EXpeRIenCE but not sure just quite yet

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
So if I understand it correctly I can flash this on my vzw tab right? and just don't do the CWM part?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Errr.... if I am not mistaken your vzw tab is a 4G tab and this is a 3G method. you could try though... doing this is supposed to just root your tab anyways. after that you can try and install an app that requires a rooted device and let us know if it worked, so i can update the main thread and let ppl know they can root their 4g tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
K ill try it, I just thought I read back that someone did it already and it work but cwm screwed up somehow...owell. here goes nothing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
K so I have the file downloaded but I can't get into recovery...I tried volume down and power and the tab doesn't do anything anyone have any ideas what it could be?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] :
It doesn't give you two boxes with a blinking indicator?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
Nope I've tried everything up volume and power... Down and power, ugh annoying
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
Alright! So it works! Got into recovery( its volume up and power after the Samsung logo pops up) flashed the file and I just installed root explorer and it works so good news! This is for the Verizon LTE if anyone I'd wondering thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Vertumus:
Guys i think I soft bricked my tab...is any1 is willing to upload for me stock rom for 3g version (p7500)? Please...thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
Well ive tried it and basically it would just reboot to cwm and run backup automatically rebooting back after finishing as if nothing hapeen... Neat for me lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
Go to www.samfirmware.com they got our 3g model stock already listed there even my asian model lol

Which ive downloaded it securely just in case :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] alwayslearning:
did you get CWM to work? There is an APP in the market that you can use to tell if your device is rooted properly, did you try it? does Titanium backup work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ctheory83:
Yeah, I tried to flash clockwork and it failed, now I have no recovery until I can find a link to a stock one which sucks but thats what I get for being an uppity asshole about getting this thing done.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
How exactly did you failed? I meant what step exactly happen?

for now why not check samfirmware? THey might have your rom.. Im bit lazy to scour there
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ctheory83:
Nothing went terribly wrong, per se, but I have no recovery at this point. I can still odin just fine, my 4G LTE tab (just want to mention that for clarity so people don't make the mistake I did) still boots, works, and hauls ass... but I have no recovery to flash anything.

I looked on samfirmware but i'm not seeing anything for the SCH-I905 at the moment, I know it just came out this week.

Hopefully my screwups can save some people a headache. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
No havnt even tried cwm yet because there might be an issue with losing your recovery completely... And like I said I installed root explorer, it asked for permissions and I said allow and I it works so yeah root does work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] alwayslearning:
do you have recovery? can you boot into recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
Uninstalling the rom manager then reinstalling it then reflash the cwm.. I mean wth you got nothing to lose right? And make sure superuser register rom manager as allowed?

Just a stupid idea from me
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jimh1999:
Same here, successful root on the LTE Tab, but lost stock recovery and can't get CWM installed thru Odin. Tab is also locked so NVFlash won't work, I have looked everywhere for answers and no fix so far.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ctheory83:
Sadly, don't have root. My dumbass should have flashed that first, but I got a little excited and jumped the gun. :eek:

I hear ya. I figured 1-2 weeks we'll have something to flash but for now i'm running vanilla and just enjoying the device, video chat, etc. It'll be fun when I can get the vmware view client working so I can play around the office on my desktop through the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
Yeah i can get into to stock recovery.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jimh1999:
Looks like when you try to flash CWM recovery, you lose stock recovery. Also if you try to load recovery thru Rom Manager you bootloop, I can get out of bootloop by plugging in Odin and reflash CWM recovery and restart Tab, still no recovery, don't know why that gets out of loop. So far, no recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CSGirl:
So I want to root my LTE tab- I don't care about a custom rom (if there even are any yet) or even CWM, just want root access. Does anyone know if this will cause issues with future updates? Or how do I "unroot" if I still have the custom recovery and ROM? Thanks, I'm not new to Android but I'm a n00b to rooting still.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
Still waiting for the custom rom for P7500... anyone?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
I dunno much about the lte version but for me even after cwm I can still get updates notice from kies... On P7500 that is
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] CSGirl:
I was hearing mixed reviews from rooted wifi users afa getting the tw update, which was my concern. I would think that rooted, but everything stock wouldn't be an issue... but it's a little concerning that no one seems to know much about the lte version. :)

If I was to just root, everything stock, what would I have to do to unroot to return it for warranty or whatever?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
I don't think just rooting your device will cause you any issues.

@Robobear....

Just a little while longer... I will see if anyone is working on anything at the moment. It just so happens to be that majority if not all of the devs got a wifi tablet lol....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] oxidant11:
In most cases you lose root with updates... And yes you should be able to do updates even with root and stock os. But I rooted and nothing else and fine with just that(ill do more I'm sure when roms etc.. Comes out for the LTE tab) but give it a few weeks and I'm Sure a unroot will be available and who knows the current unroot might work shown at the beginning of this thread.

Anxiously waiting for a 7510 (3G) model custom ROM!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Barsky:
UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY

1. Using CWM Flash the stock rom for your device. This unroots your device and basically makes it like a brand new tablet.

2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip.

3. Done, your device is exactly how it was when you picked it up.

Following the above, I returned my gt10.1 to stock. Worked fine. Today, I grabbed Kies to do the OTA update and it says:

This version of the device cannot be updated.

Current firmware version: PDA-KF3 / CSC:KF3 (XAR)

but looking at my box it says GTP7510MAYB (SW-VER UEKF3).

Were these the wrong files to use? Is this even related?

BTW, even new out of the box, when going to Software Update on the tab, it would never let me login. I go to the samsung support site and I log in fine. Try to create a new account from the tab and it says it already exists. No idea if these are related.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] rami98:
do we have to install root to keep cwm like on the droid charge or does it stay no matter what you do. i dont feel the need for root on this but i still need cwm. can i do that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jdavet:
So for those (like myself) that are now left with no recovery after attempting to flash cwm recovery, is there any hope to be able to flash another recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Well, its actually really importnat that you have the right stock rom for your device and your region. A stock rom being a stock rom basically means your device is now running a stock rom (pardon the pun). However, the EU stock rom probably has at least one designatory line of code thats in it thats is different from what is in a US stock rom or an asian stock rom. Something that will allow sammy know who and where an update is being pulled from.

There are ppl that returned to stock and have successfully pulled the new official update. This is why its always and extremely highly recommended that you back up your own stock rom before any of all this so you know when you go back to sock you always have what actually came with your device.

Personally, I will advice you not to even worry, what the modders do and release are always better than whatever official thing is released, and sometimes you even get it before they are officially available :) so its a win win situation really.

Nope you don't have to install root to keep CWM. Without root though, there are quite a number of things you can't do with the tab... especially when it comes to running custom kernels or roms that are based on custom kernels. Rooting doesn't hurt you.

It just voids your warranty :)... but only if you are dum enough to not unroot and revert everything to stock before returning the device if you ever need to.

VZW Galaxy Tab 10.1 stuck in boot loop

I think I've bricked my SCH-i905 (Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1). I had successfully rooted it, then jumped the gun by trying to install CWM via ROM Manager. After the recovery was flashed via ROM Manager, I selected reboot to recovery. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop.

Like others have reported, getting into recovery is completely a no-go after trying to load CWM. I can get into the Odin3 download screen, but that's it. I've tried flashing the recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5 with Odin to break the boot-loop, but Windows 7 doesn't seem to want to load the drivers for the tab while its in the Odin download mode (even though I installed them).

Any suggestions for a desperate man?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jimh1999:
I have the same problem, except I can get out of bootloop by putting tab in download mode and using Odin to install the CWM recovery file and selecting the auto restart box. The recovery file won't work but at least the Tab restarts. I am using XP on desktop computer.

I really wish we could get the stock recovery file or the proper CWM recovery for the LTE version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xenokira:
I actually thought it might be Windows 7 getting in the way--I'm installing XP on an extra hard drive I had laying around for my laptop right now. Hopefully that does the trick.

Do you just have Odin 1.85, the CWM recovery file, and the official Samsung drivers loaded?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Really dont know why ppl always jump the gun with the whole flashing thingy. Well, the only sure fire way to get out of the bootloop i to flash a stock recovery or CWM recovery again via odin..... and since you'e now having driver issues... the only other hing you can do is to use nvflash.

I'm not home right now though, friday night and ll so i can't even walk you through stuff now... but just go to the irc chat room, you will be bound to find someone that can at least walk you through what you need to do.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jimh1999:
No NVflash option on the LTE version.

Why do we flash early? Ha...wish I knew the answer, I ask myself the same question every time I brick a device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jimh1999:
Yes on all above.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xenokira:
Unbricked!

Thanks guys.

I actually ended up getting it...a friend of mine recommended installing Kies, which seemed to include whatever drivers Windows needed to see the tablet in 'download' mode. For the record, I did use XP to get the tab bootable again. This is my first Sammy device, so this is new territory for me...looking to get the Stratosphere next month too, so at least I'm learning now.

Hopefully the official firmware for the Verizon version will be available soon...that or CWM is updated to support this one.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] KTroopA:
Many thx Lorddeff07 great thread, just what i was looking for :)

I had one question, my GT has TW installed already, and i wanted to 1st Backup the stock ROM, then install CWM and root it. i read somewhere that rooting can break the Andorid Market place app and some apps stop working - is this true?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
You're welcome and i was looking fro a thread just like this one too. Personally i think such a thread should be on every device sub forum.

Just follow the instructions for your specific device for CWM and root. Assuming that your device qualifies for everything :). Support for ll versions of the tab is not complete yet. As for rooting breaking certain apps... well thats not entirely true and where it is there are simple work arounds for that. long story short... you probably won't even notice it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
[ROM][P7500] ..sort of anyway

well this belong to funky81 all courtesy belongs to him only

advantages of this rom (for the time being)

- Deodex ROM

- Custom Launcher2 (thanks to DocRambone - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1188701 )

So far this rom is snappier on start up, and home menu...

Prequisite

1. Root

2. CWM (rekomendasi versi 4)

Installation:

1. Upload update-signed.zip to tablet (cwm or mtp mode)

2. go to recovery (power + vol down or from rom manager)

3. update using below file:

Url : http://www.multiupload.com/VH2JMUI1BX

Next : (i'm not quite sure what funky meant by this next i'm asking him currently)

- apply kernel galaxy tab overclock (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138167)

- remove unused touchwizz apps

DISCLAIMER:

-i have not tried this rom (due to slow download)

-this is not my rom so i have no idea what will happen to your tab.. i'm sure it wont turn into a decepticon though...

-please DO use caution when installing... such as back up with CWM firstly, and keeping an eye on things for logging and debugging purposes..

note:

its not much but i'm planning to try it myself and see is there any major effect on the tab itself..

also since i'm not well versed in rom development.. i really can't offer any support to those that got his/her tab into any kind of problem ok?

EDIT:

failed for me... even CWM can only restore partially... lost some data.. basically the OS went into endless loop, and then i have to cut the loop by pressing DOWN then use CWM to restore... which sadly CWM failed after restoring DATA... so while i booted back to OS but i cannot get my data back... in this case list of app still there.. but lost all my synced account. and all apps cannot be run... this is for me...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] zaphyr:
Does this apply for EU devices as well? It's the same stock recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Thanks for the links and the heads p on installing... sorry about your data... will let this develop a bit before adding it cause knowing most users here they will just see a new ROM and jump right into flashing lol.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] zaphyr:
Yes, it works for EU as well
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
agreed this one is too unstable for my taste.. but anyway, i managed to get back on box opening condition so just need to repopulate all the programs again..

although my consideration as to why my CWM failed is due to my own wrongdoings.

i kinda do another back up when my remaining storage space is low.. making the CWM hang in the process.. force reboot, delete all unfinished backups.. but didn't realize that the other backup may have problems because of this.

so i can't really think of anything but hopefully the dev can do something. and we P7500 can finally get some actions
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] zaphyr:
I rooted my P7500, no custom ROM for that model yet. Later on I got an update via Kies and although it updated just fine I lost root. So I'd expect that would go for all stock rooted users. Settings and apps were kept intact though.

Brazil/Spain

I've got a Spanish 3G P7500 (spanish text on the retail box) with a Brazil ROM (P7500UBKG6). I can't find any mention of this version anywhere... should I assume CWM will work with it? I'm looking at flashing a stock Euro ROM since they seem to be the most recent, and I'd like to do a backup of the stock ROM first.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
you should be fine.. try the root method for 3G first..

then get Titanium to back up... after that go ahead with CWM...

[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
so was wondering if anyone got this app. So I try to installed it and it said that my device was not supported but on the market it says it does. So im not sure what to do. I know its for the tegra 2 but its out for non tegra 2s

Also how would I go about returning an app?

Side note: What other apps/games you guys like to use or play.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
....If you buy from the market it works..

Else; Install chain Fire 3d and find all the drivers and install them. You can play the tegra games that way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
I did...but Idk what happen at i just went into settings apps and clear data and went back to it it worked fine now..this game looks sick.

but I just never got into game apps for phones.. and so I was also just wondering what others play.

or just in general of app use. I see ppl talk about sms, launchers etc..
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I play this, Guerrilla bob, Order and Chaos, SNesoid, Cordy, Cut the cord and NFS

Mostly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Cool..I was thing about adding some old school games like that I tried looking for the nesoid and a few others and they are pulled off the market.. But in another thread I started someone listed where you can still get them...

Cordy I heard was good..
[HTC Inspire 4G] fetidflesh:
I still rock the old emulators, mainly the nes and genesis ones. I bought the samurai game though, much better than I expected, buy also super easy I really like modern combat 2.

I saw that combat one is it good?.

Also has anyone try that Mspot for the music cloud.?
[Desire General] braddersss:
so, i want to flash a custom rom but as stock gingerbread is on the horizon is it worth waiting and seeing what custom roms pop up using the said desire 2.3 rom as a base?

also will the stock 2.3 be running sense? i heard its not, so will a rom dev be able to put sense 3.0 on to a desire 2.3 stock rom?
[Desire General] erklat:
I would wait for custom roms based on Ginger.

It will and it will probably be Sense 1.9. It is not that easy to remove half of your devices appeal by removing Sense. Also the leak showed it is all possible to fit in Desire's tiny memory.

Possible, but I personally would not like that. Give me the best possible performance out of something that is intended for our Desires. I don't digg ports.
