[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
ClockworkMod Recovery, and all CWM-based recoveries mount what what is plugged into a user accessible memory card slot as "/emmc." That, in turn, is called the "internal sd card" within CWM Recovery.

This has historic reasons from what I can tell...

So, these are the partitions that contain user data:

/data - (all android phones have this, even very early android phones.) Used to store user installed programs and data for both system and user installed programs (but not "external" data such as music files.)

/sdcard - This is an optional partition, though nearly all modern phones have it. Unlike /data, there isn't any pre-determinated layout. Usually 8, 16 or 32 GB in size. Back when phones only had /data partitions built in, this storage space might be provided by plugging in an sdcard. In CWM recovery, this is referred to as "sdcard", "the sdcard", etc.

/emmc - (As far as I know, only cyanogenmod (and firmware based on cyanogen) actually mounts to /emmc. Others mount in various other places. The 7+ mounts to /sdcard/extStorages/SdCard) After phones started coming with built-in memory mounted to /sdcard, a different partition was needed for any user-replacable memory card. There really is no standard for this (at this time.) Within CWM recovery, it's referred to as "internal sdcard" (perhaps with the intent of someday supporting an external device for backing up.) Keep in mind that the exact same CWM Recovery source is used for all different versions of android, so the labels might seem a bit strange.

I've seriously considered deviating from the CWM-Recovery source and changing the labels for my recoveries to be more consistant. For example: instead of "sdcard", I'd use "built-in memory." Instead of "internal sdcard", I'd use "user accessible microSD card." The problem with that is that users who are already familiar with CWM Recovery (and accustomed to its quirks) might get confused with different labels.

If I could figure out how to submit a patch for consideration to Koush (the author of CWM Recovery), I would probably submit one that allows the labels for various partitions to be noted in a config file and used from there.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jeffcavicchi:
Awesome explanation - thanks so much! Makes perfect sense now - less of a bug with CWM than an historical anomaly.

Appreciate your taking the time to explain it!

Hi Guys,

I m not sure if anyone encounter the same problem like mine, I tried every ROM out there but somehow cant flash any other ROM than the Malaysia-Dec-2011 ROM.

I doubt it might be the PIT file I need to flash the updated ROM! any help will be appreciated... thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
How does this relate to the CWM Recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Y Ddraig Goch:
Hi Gary,

We are looking into porting CWM recovery to the 7.7 over in the 7.7 dev thread. The partitioning looks very similar to the 7 plus. Is there a git repo containing your latest version as I think its a great starting point for us.

Thanks

Ddraig
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
(more time to reply properly now...)

My username on github is garyd9, but I'm not sure how much help my code will be for you.

I don't know how recovery works on the 7.7. It might be similar to how most samsung's work (same kernel partition as a normal boot but with a different boot parameter) or similar to the 7.0 plus (which uses a completely different kernel partition for recovery and normal boots.) That makes a HUGE difference...

I see on the 7.7 forums that you already have people pulling and posting to github the initramfs and kernel stuff - so thats a better place to start than the 7.0plus stuff. You'll probably have to make some adjustments to the kernel source that is posted on opensource.samsung.com. I honestly think they deliberately "tweak" the defconfig's to not work properly on the target device. Unfortunately, I can't predict what changes would be needed for that device.

About the only thing that leaves out is the actual replacement recovery binary, which I compiled from the cyanogenmod sources. You'll probably have to make some changes, but again I can't predict those. You might consider getting the recovery sources from the ICS branch, as they'll likely be more compatible with honeycomb than the gingerbread branch.

Take care and good luck

Gary
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Y Ddraig Goch:
Thanks Gary

The 7.7 also uses a completely different kernel partition for recovery and normal boot. Two kernel images with two initramfs. This is why your code will help.

I've extracted both initramfs and compared them so I have a rough idea what the difference is.

Once again, many thanks.

Japan Docomo SC-02D Tab 7.0 Plus

FYI for Gary and any Japan users:

The .zip installation does not run on the 7.0 Plus sold in Japan by Docomo. I'm pretty sure the hardware is the same as the GT-P6200, but I guess the ID on the device must be different and blocking your installation, Gary.

Here's some text I got from the recovery screen... important parts only.

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to '/system/csc/DCM/system/'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

...

(blah blah blah)

...

ERROR: This should only be installed on a Samsung GT-P6200

*******************************************

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted"

The model number as listed under "About device" is "SC-02D" (the model number that the carrier, Docomo, has assigned to it.

I'll try and scour Google a bit more to confirm more strongly that its the same hardware as the 6200 or not... (and then you can allow the update.zip to run on it as well). Unless you think the problem is something else entirely based on the errors above.

Thanks

*****************EDIT

Can't find any evidence to suggest that this is NOT the same hardware model for the 3G version sold elsewhere.... but Docomo did disable/remove the TV out function on the previous Tab... This one seems to be functioning and nothing else seems to have been disabled/removed. The only difference that I can see is some extra bloatware from the carrier and language options (can only select English/Japanese/Korean for display... and there is a supplementary Japanese keyboard installed.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
yeah, I'm paranoid... there are SEVERAL different models of this tab, and some are slightly different. For example, some have /system on the 8th partition, some on the 9th. That's a critical thing for the recovery to know about and to get right.

This isn't the thread to discuss it... if you start something in the general subforum (and nag me enough), I'll make you do all kinds of work for me to get the information I need to build a recovery for it. (I need dumps of a few paritions, partition maps, etc.)

I can promise nothing for at least a week and a half, however. Maybe sooner, maybe not. Just depends where my time falls.

Gary
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
I just bought a GT-P6200 a few days ago and I was happy to find that it has a separate partition for recovery. This is good... much more flexible than the "all in one" boot/recovery on my GT-I9000 (Galaxy S).

Now I want to start porting ICS to the tab. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Building recovery

I've started a device tree for the GT-P6200 on github. Right now it's very basic, but it does build a working `recovery` binary for the PT-6200. You still need to drop it into an initramfs and compile a kernel with said initramfs (I'll publish my initramfs on github this week, it's basically kanged from garyd9's PT-6210 one anyways). Thanks to garyd9 for getting the ball rolling on ClockworkMod Recovery for these tabs.

btw, this is the first step of porting CyanogenMod 9 (ICS) to the GT-P6200. Right now my device tree is very basic, with a lot of the initial stuff being kanged from teamhacksung's Galaxy SII device tree. It doesn't build anything that you can flash to your device (yet!). I'd love for input (preferably code!) and help. Keep an eye on the repository, and fork it if you're interested:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
how about the new "touch" recoveries?? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Yeah, I was thinking about that myself. I think it'd be nice to have a touch recovery. ClockworkMod is really easy and portable... but there are other really cool recoveries out there, like TeamWin's recovery.

Edit: Ooh, "porting" touch recovery was really simple: extract sbin/recovery from some CWM Touch initramfs out there (such as this one for Nexus S), stick it in a PT-6200 initramfs, and rebuild your kernel with said initramfs. Bingo.

I've attached a working Touch Recovery for GT-P6200. Be warned, it's not compatible with backups you've made in previous versions; you'll have to recreate backups!

Flash like this, from Download Mode:

heimdall flash --recovery p6200_cwm_5.8.0.2_touch.img

Don't ask about Odin. I don't use that closed-source stuff, and I don't use Windows. Booya. Someone could make a zip I guess... any volunteers? I'm too cool for zips.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
awesome, I thought it would be fairly easy.

functions OK otherwise beside said issue?

EDIT: .ZIP Pulled -- stuck at backing up data. I know its usually the longest, but I just flashed stock yesterday. I will wipe caches and retry once more.

very nice I have to say.

hangs at backing up data... for a while now, (10+ minutes) and I just returned to stock yesterday, there cant be that much data.

Will pull the .zip if it doesnt finish. (progress bar is @ 90+%)

Perhaps we could get this to display the realtime info: To see if its actually moving or not? It may be there just cut off the screen. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jmar8124:
this is a working.zip with root and busy-box :)

enjoy....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
sure, but did you try making a nandroid? mine gets stuck at backing up data.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
I actually only tried flashing a zip, rebooting recovery, navigating the menus etc. Didn't try a backup!

I can't think of why the backup wouldn't work, as long as the right partitions are mounted. All I've done is repackage our existing recovery kernel with a new sbin/recovery binary. Everything else is the exact same, including the recovery.fstab, which list the block devices and their mount points.

Maybe I'll try to compile from source instead of stealing the pre-compiled binary from another device's recovery.img. This one came from a Nexus S recovery. I'll look around for the source... though I get the feeling it hasn't been released...?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
@chrisrotolo... regarding your log, I see this repeating a few times:

failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory

Well in Linux /sys is not a real file system (it's populated by the kernel, and contains various devices, parameters, and kernel tuneables)... and that sysfs node doesn't appear to be anything related to recovery. Let me try to do a nandroid on my tab and I'll get back to you.

Something work verifying, though, is the output of `adb shell mount` in both garyd9 and my recoveries. In "traditional" ClockworkMod Recovery the source had to be customized to set the buttons which control the select, etc. With touch, I don't think there's anything we have to configure (and like we said, we're using the same recovery.fstab as the old CWM).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jmar8124:
it is fully working for me i have backed up and restored :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
damn.. so its just mine? I just odined back to stock2 days ago, havent downloaded anything. wiped cache and dalvik, hangs at backing up data.

will try fac reset and try to backup again.

thanks for the help guys.

ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4

Wassup, ballers? I just compiled ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 for P6200. It's the default recovery version in the CM9 branch.

Only for the brave!

Download: goo-inside.me (md5: 60517dc528c983ec9d8832c9a48934e5)

Flash: Reboot your device into download mode and then flash with Heimdall:

heimdall flash --recovery p6200-clockworkmod-5.5.0.4.img

I don't know if it's any better than 5.0.2.7. I flashed it, it boots, seems to generally work. The testing is up to you guys, cuz I'm busy porting CM9. ;)

How many different places are you going to post this? What, exactly, did you flash with ODIN? If it was the recovery posted in the OP of this thread, then your an idiot for not following the clear directions provided. If it's something else, then your posting this in the wrong thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
I wanted to flame you for this question. Then I realized that I never posted what "CWM Recovery" is, and I never even posted something like "If you don't know what CWM Recovery is, don't use this" (which I should have.)

So, I did what you should have done: I used google, and google'd for "What is CWM Recovery." Here's one of the links that came back:

http://www.xperiagamer.com/Beginners-Guides/clockworkmod-recovery.html

Please read that...

I think that some of the concepts involving android tinkering just come with time - and that after spending enough time reading about these things, you just start to know what they are.

Sorry, bringing back some old news.

Thank YOU...

I've confirmed that this recovery works on the Japan version NTT Docomo SC-02D "Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" . Installed from the stock firmware's recovery (baseband SC02DOMLF2). Backup, wipe, Restore, all successful.

So the model sold here is evidently similar enough to both the GT-P6200 and GT-P6200L. Not even entirely sure if anything at all is actually different aside from the model number.

Can we get the same as above (delete asserts?) done for the newer versions? I tried doing this myself, but failed... couldn't get the zip to install properly.

Will try CM9 and that Austrian Stock rom and maybe CM9 later when I have more time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] FMAranda:
Yes, deleting the asserts will let you install the recovery, maybe you deleted something and messed up the updater-script. I haven't tried the new 6.0.1.0 CWM but I had problems with 5.5+ version.

I run CM7 off an SD card and I managed to lose ALL battery life in the Nook. After I recharged the battery and restarting the Nook, the CM7 logo just kept looping. I ended up reformatting the SD card and going through the whole root process again, which so far went okay. But now, I have a consistent small "pop-up" on the nook that appears about every 3-4 minutes, stays on for about 20 seconds and is displayed as such:
