Thank for the tip about Heimdall, will look into it. It would be good to be able to flash a recovery without increasing the flash counter. Is there a way to root the tablet without using CWM? Otherwise Odin Mobile wouldn't work. I also see that there is an app called TriangleAway which resets the counter but I wasn't sure about how safe this would be.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
I believe the official builds from Jenkins can be converted to the touch version by uploading the img to a specific website. Personally, I have not tried that yet. :)

For me it fails backing up /data. I had to go back to CWM 6.0.1.8 "classic" (non-touch).

How to flash an IMG file without the fastboot mode? o.o
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
I would suggest Mobile Odin from Chainfire. There is a free "lite" version on XDA which works very well.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] churd83:
Mobile Odin doesn't see the .img file
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] tapan15in:
It does. I I always flash my recovery. Img file with it :)

Installed it in my P3113 using mobile odin by renaming img file to recovery. Works great but is there any way to change to orientation to portrait instead of landscape? I think it would work better if it's in portrait mode to be able to see more options without scrolling down.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] daniel644:
+1 Portrait would be a MUCH better orientation for touch CWM.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] rraaka:
yes, portrait mode would be much better. it takes ages for yes -- data factory reset to appear for me and one cannot proceed to flash any rom without doing that.....painful
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] kepz:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] voldomart13:
So does the p3113 have touch yet? Or still waiting?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Slavestate:
Its had touch recovery. In case no one noticed the OP isnt exactly up to date. You can get it from the rom manager link provided in the OP.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
And one more.

Honestly, I think that this is a kernel problem in all CM-based ROMs/recoveries (yes recovery does have a kernel too), where Screen Orientation build option was set to -90°. Correcting this will also fix landscape boot animation and phone app in CM10.1 ROMs.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Mrdaviso:
I am getting md5 errors when trying to restore from anything backed up to extsd and "bad" errors when trying to flash a .zip from extsd. Internal works fine and I've formatted the extsd multiple times, could this be due to bad flash of recovery? I'm on 6.0.2 or maybe bad sd?

Hi, I am doing everything OK

But when I enter in recovery mode only appears

Android System Recovery <3e>

I turn off tab

Turn on in download mode

open Odin

Add tar in PDA

connect tab

Com3 in yellow

Press Start

log says : All threats completed (suceed :1)

Nothing happened!!!

I'm doing something wrong??

EDIT : Simply uncheck the AUTOREBOOT in ODIN, and Reboot manually, I read that in one post here, that is the way that systema overwrites the recovery

Problem solved
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] D'Anklaud:
DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT , but if your willing to use mobile odin ( and the kernel apk it needs) the forcefull removing and rebooting will not brick your tab, but its likely to leave you without a recovery menu till you flash a fresh one ( ive beenstuck befor, plus i can be impaitient)

Sorry, noob here, I just want to ask a few questions. Why is my backup files only 18 MB and there's a "blob" folder with a huge size? Is it suppose to work this way? Cuz in my Ace II there's no blob folder and the backup files can be like 1 GB or more. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] theminigame:
so i couldn't get the .img file to flash with odin, and i wanted to try the touch version..

so i made a flashable .zip of the newest touch version...

here it is, hopefully it's okay i post this,

if not, i'm sorry, and will remove it.

i flashed it and it works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] webdroidmt:
CWM 6.x.x.x versions have 2 backup formats, .dup & .tar. The .dup format gives you large blob files, the .tar format gives you what you are used to with your Ace II.

Don't know what CWM version you're on but I'm on CWM 6.0.2.7 and .tar was the default, maybe you accidentally changed the backup format??? Anyway, go into "backup and restore" then "choose default backup format" and select tar if you want it to be the same format as your Ace.

If you want to find out more on the 2 formats just Google "clockworkmod dup vs tar", you can see which is better for your needs.

Mike T
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] uchihakurtz:
I see, so I found this:

So it seems that the dup format is useful for flashaholics and makes backup faster yes? I haven't tried flashing other ROMs yet but will try after my Tab is 2 months old this will really test out how different it is. Btw, I'm using 6.0.1.1 from the first page and I tried looking for the backup format option but found none, guess I gotta try a different version then. Thanks a lot dude :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] webdroidmt:
You're welcome. Hmm, I thought all CWM 6.x versions had the option to choose. Well, 6.0.2.3 & 6.0.2.7 definitely have the option to change formats, check around the forum or go the CWM site and find it for your model number. The thing I like about .tar format is it's easier for me to keep track of my individual backups and transfer them to a PC for safekeeping. I found the blobs getting to be well... blobs lol and becoming huge files to transfer.

But, it's possible that I'm just so used to using .tar on all my devices for quite a while. I think it's good idea to try both and see what you like. Btw, that's a pretty good explanation that you quoted, should help some people to better understand it.

Mike T
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] uchihakurtz:
Thx, Googled it but brought me back to XDA, gotta say, XDA is really awesome and full of knowledge. Yeah, I'm also used to the tar version, but I wanna give the dup version a try, just for fun :D

I've got a REALLY weird problem with CWR right now. The ClockWorkMod folder where all the backups are kept is hidden from the Root Browser and USB connection (mass storage). I tested the recovery and the backup went fine but when I went to backup the backup to my PC, the folder was nowhere to be seen. The only access I can get to it is if I go to delete the backup while in recovery. I see the folder in when I navigate to /sdcard but I also see the /0 and /1 and whatnot as if this folder is in limbo. How can I get rid of it altogether? Is there a way through terminal or something? I'm on the latest nightly of CM-10.1 and I have an external 32GB SDCARD installed that has a full up do date CWR backup of my system. WOuld wiping data/factory reset then a nand restore help? I have a Touchpad and a Skyrocket and I've never see anything like this, the CWR folder is always just sitting with the rest of my internal folders...

I followed the instructions in the first post and it worked. It seemed to overwrite the other CWM with the codeworkx version.

Would heimdall work to flash this recovery to my device under linux? I just got a samsung and was curious about other options that don't require windows or a mac.

Also, I still want to use the stock Samsung firmware for a while (before flashing CM9). After I flash the CWM recovery for the first time, do I have to flash another ROM afterwards? I want to just flash Superuser and then try to install busybox from the Market. Or do I need to install busybox from the recovery too?

Regards.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] miketoasty:
Heimdall is basically ODIN for Linux so it SHOULD work. I heard of some compatibility issues but don't have a Linux distro currently setup so I can't say for sure.

You do not. Just flash CWM Recovery, flash Superuser, then find Busybox in the market and you should be good to go. No need to do anymore than that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Tsjoklat:
Do you recommend using Superuser or SuperSu with the stock ICS ROM? Thanks. I heard that Superuser is slower on ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] miketoasty:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] miketoasty:
Have you tried redownloading and reflashing the recovery you are using?

Also, you may have run out of space on whatever storage device you are using (More likely than the first).
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] airwickkk:
Wow, I had no idea how large tablet backups were. Like, upwards of 4 gigs. But I suppose that's normal? I have a 16 gig card too, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing now if I had anything less!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] nphil:
the backups are big because it takes a backup of your entire internal emmc, I think. Like /media is mounted inside /data, so all your music, game download data, etc will get backed up too.. This is also why you lose everything stored on the internal sd card when you wipe /data in recovery
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] airwickkk:
That sucks :( I usually like to have lots of backups, just in case an update is complete garbage. Rats.

I guess I'll just have to transfer backups to my computer.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] bbombf:
I have a noobish issue:

I'd like to root my GT-P3113 and hopefully install CM9 on it. I'm new to Android and rooting and all this stuff, so I've been reading these threads and rooting guides the past few weeks to get a feel for things before I mess something up and brick the device. Today I decided to take the plunge.

From what I gathered, I should use Odin to flash this, and then I can install root through the recovery and finally using the recovery to flash CM9 and Gapps. I followed the steps in the first post to install the recovery through Odin and everything worked great. However, that's as far as I got, because when I boot into recovery, I don't have all the options I think I'm supposed to. I just have:

- reboot system now

- apply update from external storage

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- apply update from cache

So no options to install zip from internal sd or to backup/restore, meanign that I can't go any further. I'm sure the error I've made is real simple, but if anyone could help me get back on the right track it'd be greatly appreciated! I know I could try and use the older recovery from xoomdev but obviously that one isn't supported by the CM9 ROM so I can't. Thanks!

EDIT: after reading around some more I've realized that my Tab 2 has been updated and has a recovery overwrite on boot. Is there a version of codeworkx recovery that is unsecured so I can flash with Odin and not have the recovery overwritten on boot? Or perhaps I can flash the old recovery from imnuts and root and then flash this? Please let me know!
