[HOWTO] Flash provided recovery without ODIN with broken main recovery [HOWTO]

So after 20 minutes of fiddling with things, I figured out how to get the recovery flashed without having to have recovery installed or without ODIN.

You will need

(1) Rooted LTE device

(2) ROM Manager installed *get at App market*

(3) This file from poitee's post: http://www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0

(4) ES File Explorer (or any other file explorer, I just use ES) or USB connection.

(5) Patience

=---------=-------=

Start with a rooted tab. Download the Rom manager.

1) In the ROM Manager, click on Flash ClockworkMod recovery. It will ask you what device etc, select Galaxy Tab. Wait for it to flash so it says "Current recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.0.4".

2) After it's done, scroll down and hit All Clockwork Mod recoveries. Select 4.0.03. Let it download it and flash it.

3) Unzip the recovery.zip and take the recovery.img file and place it on the tablet.

4) Either using ES File Explorer, or just using Windows Explorer with tablet plugged in, find folder called "clockworkmod" in the SDCard root.

5) Navigate to clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/

There you will see some two files - recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-p7100.img and recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img

6) Delete recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img from that folder

7) Copy the recovery.img file from the ZIP above into this folder and rename it recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img

8) Go back to ROM Manager, and select Flash ClockworkMod recovery, select the tab and hit OK. It will flash 4.0.0.4.

9) Place your tablet into Airplane Mode (turn off Wifi/4G/3G)

10) Scroll down again, select All Clockwork Mod Recoveries, select 4.0.0.3, and hit OK. That will now flash the recovery we just replaced.

11) Exit out of the ROM manager.

12) Push power button, hit Reboot.

13) As soon the screen goes blank, hold power button+volume rocker up till you see the box or downloading.

14) Hit UP once so the box is selected.

15) Hit DOWN once so that it boots into CWM.

*updated* Thanks jimh1999 and ~Scott~ for updates and feedback after testing this. I was a little tired and did misspell the filenames :D

You are done :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jimh1999:
Success....Thank You for this, I was about to give up.

Notes,

~I had to put Tab in airplane mode after step 9

~I didn't leave Tab plugged in

~nand backup will work but no progress bars in CWM

~Rom Manager will alert of recovery update, just dont update recovery

~edit per Scott's post, name of file should be recovery-clockwork to match filename structure in the folder

Finally we have recovery on LTE Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ~Scott~:
THANK YOU!

My notes:

- I also had to put it into airplane mode after step 9

- I tried to flash the new recovery.img and it failed so I rebooted the tablet at this point.

- I noticed the the first recovery was named recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-p7100.img so I changed recovery-clockworkmod-4.0.0.3-p7100.img to recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img and flashed it with no issues.

Then I booted into CWM and noticed the progress bar issue during the backup.... but.... I BOOTED INTO RECOVERY!!

Thanks again!

Thanks to you and poitee for finding the solution. If you find any roms or kernals that work, please report back. Also can we flash the stock recovery back on this Tab?

I would still like to know why the CWM recovery would,nt work on the LTE version
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] eXiled Killah:
First of all, let me say thanks for the effort and risk for eveyone involved. Now, please excuse my noobiness here, but is there a way in here to back up the stock rom before flashing/rooting? In other words, can I reverse this process to stock for returns/service?

I've seen how to reverse to stock the WiFi version, but this LTE is uncharted territory. Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ~Scott~:
Can you elaborate on your instructions? I have done my fair share of ROM flashing and have used CWM for quite a while, but not sure about going back to stock on the recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mattj949:
I accidentally used Rom Manager to flash "recovery" 4.004 to my LTE Tab and then it would no longer boot up (keeps going back to Samsung screen).

Can get to the screen to choose recovery or Odin. Then, I made it worse by flashing (with ODIN) what I thought was the correct stock image, and wound up putting the Wifi model on to it.

After quite a bit of reading (and kicking myself) ...

I have created a ODIN capable stock recovery image, and now I can get into stock recovery, but I need the rest of the LTE image to restore my unit. Can anyone make a dump of the factory stuff (other than the data) ? Heck even if I can get it working on just Wifi for now, that would be ok until the LTE image surfaces.

I really don't want to try to return it since I have only had it for 2 days and it would be pretty obvious that I had messed with it. :(

Thanks. I can make

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jamezelle:
Don't worry man we'll get you going.

Can you boot into android? If so I can give you the instructions to get the stock recovery back on via command line or mattj949 can post his Odin file.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mattj949:
I wound up returning and exchanging, but I still want to back it up in case it happens again....

However, I did make a fully working CWM ODIN flashable (for LTE Tab), however, not sure how to post it here. I left it on my office PC, will figure out how to post tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] whoisjlk:
Bricked?

Im having the same problem with rooting then using clockwork to flash recovery 4.0.0.4. Now Im stuck with the Galaxy Tab boot screen then to black then the boot screen and to black continuously.

I can access Odin but my computer doesn't recognize the Tab and never has. When I plug it in I hear the computer recognize it but gives a different sound doesn't see it. ???

Can anyone help me get this thing booted again.

Thanks

It's booting up and I'm using it. It's rooted and running CWM but I need to return it due to the Newton's Rings issue so I need to return it to stock.

Command line instructions would be much appreciated. But I also need to unroot as well as put back the stock recovery.

Thanks Matt! I was able to load the stock recovery via ODIN with your file.

Now I can have it replaced. :) Oh.. after I unroot it..:D

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jonyah:
Is there a reason why I can't boot into recovery? When doing so, the two icons flash real quick then it reboots again. It's an endless loop until I let go of volume down. Then it just boots normall into Honeycomb (with that crappy touchwiz I need off of there)

What worked for me is when booting into recovery, hold the vol down and the power button down right? Tick is that when you see the first galaxy screen let go of the power but continue to hold the vol button when you see the I ins release it.

Does anyone have a LTE stock odin file? If not, is anyone able to pull the stock radio from the LTE tab? I used this file "samgtab10.1_lte_root.tar.md5" via odin to root my device. Ever since i did, my tab doesn't get 4G service anymore. Seems like it was the wrong radio in that odin file or something. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jlokos:
So as I understand this thread, you rooted your tab. What I don't understand is what rom are you running? When I rooted my Dinc, I was running a custom rom; but there don't appear to be any such roms for the LTE tab. Are you still running the stock rom? If so, what are the advantages of rooting? Thanks for your help. While I have some experience with rooting my Dinc, I''m a newbie on the tab.

It's not OCed. The kernels aren't optimized. Need alot of improvements. Staying at max too long has nothing to do with OC.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalatorisaurus:
No problem for the link. There are many ways to help save battery. I for one turn off GPS, Bluetooth, and mobile data when I'm not using them. I use AOSP Roms mostly because they give me better battery life, I use Incredikernel because it regulates how my battery works more efficiently, and I also have an extended battery. Wiping your battery stats every once in a while can help you prolong your battery life as well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
optimized sense with the stock kernel will warrant some seriously nice battery life. thats how I maintain mine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Depends on what I do, through a normal day (texting, few short calls, 30 minutes of music streaming, less than 5 minutes of GPS) it'll last ~1.5-2 days with CM7 nightlies and chad's incredikernel - underclocked 128MIN - ~800max

But if I use GPS all day, which I sometimes do- it'll drop 50% after 4-5 hours of use (this means screen-on, GPS running, also uses 3G data for maps) and I'll usually need to plug it in before the day ends.

I have a 1900mAh battery that fits in the stock case, so this isn't what I get on the stock 1300mAh battery.

If you can't last it through the day it usually means that you are a very heavy user (you like browsing the web all the time, streaming music, texting, watching videos) OR you have a setup that likes to eat your battery.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tst1212:
If you are rooted, you can update the radio, I've noticed much better performance out of the updates cause they seem to manage gps and wireless better. The radio update turn off wireless if you are out of range and turn off gps if no app is using it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
yeah but you have to take into account how slim the stock incredible is. Without any case and with only the stock battery it's too thin (for me at least). Hard to hold onto the sides and I accidentally press the volume buttons often. I've also dropped it 3 times with that setup.

With a case it's great and with the 2150 it was great, loved both setups but I'm liking the new style now with the 1900 and case so that's where I'm sticking at.

Hi folks, Im an atrix owner in uk on the orange network. Ive been waiting for this GB update but decided to go along the unlocking route. I have rooted using gingerbreak, and have just unlocked the bootloader using RSD lite and IHOP Bell. The phone itself displays unlocked on the boot screen, so all seems well. But now Im stuck with only 300mb of ram. I have seen that its possible to load ORFR234-system.img so that I can enjoy the GB goodness. Ive downloaded the ORFR234 but the question is How do I get it on to my phone? The worst thing is that I managed to lose the guide that I was following, grrr. If there's anyone out there in XDA land who can help me, I would be sooooooo grateful and buy ya a beer lol. Many thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n25philly:
I've been having trouble with my Vibrant and with T-Mobile in limbo I picked up a N1 off ebay to hold me over. This thing is driving me insane!

The phone came with CM7 installed on it, but the person that shipped it to me didn't erase any of there stuff so I figured I would flash a fresh image on the phone to take care of things. I've flashed my Vibrant a dozen or so times and never had an issue. Flashed the N1 and it comes up with an X made of 4 different colored lines and a little lock at the bottom. I know some roms take a while to load so I let it sit for an hour. Nothing.

Since I've been trying everything I can find out how to recover the phone including all of the guides on the wiki. I'm at my wits end at this point. I can't get into clockwork at all on the phone. It gets stuck in the bootloader and if I select recovery it just takes me back.

I've got droid explorer running, and the phone shows up, but it doesn't show anything on the phone, no folders or files and won't let me load anything on to it. (it says it is, but then stays blank) I have no clue what to do at this point short of taking a sledge hammer to it. (obviously I'm posting this as I consider that to be plan B)

I don't need anything special, I just want a working phone. Is that really so much to ask for?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amolji:
If ur Phone is running( means u can boot) try flashing cwr from rom manager and flash the rom again or try to hard reset the phone and then see ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Firstly, I would start of by being more specific about what you have tried.

If you really have tried "everything", then there's nothing anyone can do for you.

I suspect you haven't tried "everything"...?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n25philly:
I'm sure I haven't, just what I found in the wiki

I tried the PASSIMG.ZIP and it failed

I tried Amon_Ra's Recovery and the only way I can get it to do anything is to tell it to flash in droid explorer and it just reboots and gets stuck. Now nothing is showing up file wise in droid explorer and I can't transfer the image onto the root.

When I could get into clockwork I tried flashing different roms but it would just go to a screen with the clockwork logo and get stuck.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n25philly:
I can turn it on to the screen with the multicolored X or the bootloader, that's it. How do I do a hard reset?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josemedina1983:
in the bootloader I think (dont take my rookie rooting words too serious) theres a hard reset menu under recovery. it will take you to another x and press volume up and power for the menu to pop up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
try fastboot a recovery image (either Amon Ra or CWM) and see if you can get back to recovery after that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addam360:
Well I'm assuming you already have a custom recovery since it came with CM and you've, as you said, flashed it (what exactly do you mean by that by the way? flashed another rom?). So all I can recommend is that you wipe a few times and try flashing a few different roms and hopefully one will boot. Not the best advice in the world but its always worked for me before and my N1 and my DEXT before hand when I've messed them up!
