[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schrock:
I am new to Android but not to *nix. I received a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5113) as a gift from my wife and I was hoping an experienced Android Guru might weigh in on what they thought of this device for a newbie trying to teach himself the ins and outs of the android platform. I would like to compile my own AOSP roms from scratch and flash them to this device and I was wondering if it is possible and if so what kind of functionality would be missing if any? I see other threads that suggest that it is possible. Samsung released what looks like the source code but I am unsure if that does me any good or not. I would like to teach myself the ins and outs of the android platform but I am unsure if this is the right device to do that on. Does anyone have any thoughts to share on this subject? Thanks!

Hey XDA members.

Can anyone explain how I flash the Recovery using fastboot???

That is what is instructed to get it in.

Here is the link:

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

It has all the recoveries made by koush.

Touch & Button version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Install fastboot/fastboot drivers, then.

Download the recovery file you want and put it in the fastboot folder.

1. turn phone off

2. press and hold both volume up and down button then press and hold power, this will take the phone to bootloader

3. type: fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilenamehere.img

4. press the volume up or down button to select RECOVERY MODE, press power to select, and there you go, you're in cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Umm a lil clearer please. Sorry

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Do I need a computer???

I've tries downloading it on my phone and I'm was wondering Well Fast boot is when u hold all the buttons together.

So then I was like hmmmm i have no knowledge how this needs to be done. Do I need a computer??? Or can this be done on the phone itself???

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
You probably shouldn't be flashing recoveries if you don't know what you're doing. Learn by reading. The method for flashing recoveries hasn't changed since the Nexus One came out 2.5 years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blitzpwnage:
Is this for toroplus too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
I don't know. Flash it and see :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
OK then.

Like I said, new at fastboot stuff.

and I'm gonna flash it even if there is a chance i can ruin my phone.

Just wont do it through the Toolkit since it seem like a no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
How did you root without fastboot?

Just wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Im a Verizon Nexus=Toro user.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I used Wug's Toolkit to root.

It was sooo freaking easy with that thing.

All I did was follow instructions. Yes I had to used fastboot for some things but I just followed instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
I'd suggest searching your Android development section. That's where I found that .zip

if you cant type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-toro.img there is no hope for you.

Where exactly do I type that at????

And sorry if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

when you're at work and cant install much... you do what you can ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Please people, stop it with the "you have to have the Android SDK installed".

You do not need the SDK at all (unless you are developing), and even then...

You need the fastboot.exe file to use fastboot. Nothing more (besides the driver of course).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Dont get your panties in a bunch most people just say that becuase its practical... serves them better off later when they are stuck in recovery and dont have another ROM on their "sdcard". :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
So it serves them better to download a bunch of files they will never use, including the JDK/JRE and have that on their PC, instead of just using the attachment? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Was this file present at the beginning? No i dont think so... :p seriously though MUST you be right on everything? Let it go.. your getting mad at people trying to help.. really?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Bro it's better to have it installed just in case u happen to need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Well, you may be right. I was told that as well when I was first starting off with Android.

I can tell you from experience, that I have never needed the SDK -- the only thing I ever needed from that kit was the fastboot binary and the adb files.

But hey, fill yer boots. Go ahead and install it. I'm just trying to pass on some (hopefully) useful information. It makes no difference to me whether you install it or not.

And ÜBER™, I'm not getting mad... :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beamer9408:
Wow never knew that was available not that I need it now but that is handy I've never needed anything but adb and fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
My bad. I'd always been told that I needed the SDK to obtain adb (just got my Nexus and never needed fastboot on my Charge). Most root guides that I've read have "Install Android SDK" as a standard step. As such, I wasn't aware that adb/fastboot could be separated from the SDK.

Thanks for the information. At least I'll know for the future.

Question, though. If you only need fastboot.exe for fastboot, which files do you need for adb to function stand-alone? Just adb.exe or the whole platform-tools directory, essentially?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, no worries.

That was the whole point of my post: someone somewhere a long time ago in a galaxy far far away said that you need the SDK, and it got passed along, and no one questioned it or cared. I was just trying to shed some light on the subject.

For fastboot (on Windows): you need fastboot.exe

For ADB (on Windows): you need 3 files: adb.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and AdbWinApi.dll

That is all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Well, that'll save some time/space for some people, at least. Thanks for the info.

This is getting quite irritating as I've been trying to set up Allshare Play streaming between laptop and S3.

Not sure when it got locked but it might have happened only after my latest update to LFB with Odin.

I had used Odin before to flash CF-root and it was working fine.

I don't have any custom rom, just the original mango release, which was force updated thru zune.

If anybody has successfully updated using above method, then please let me know.

Thanks.

yeah, my focus 1.3 has 8773 running just fine, however, i cannot get gps to work right. then again, i have not been able to get it to work right on update 7720 up.

just make sure you do the updates via cab sender incrementally and install the correct language update packages with the update. ei flash 7720-7740 update w/ 7720-7740 language, then flash 7740-8107 update w/ 7740-8107 language packs.

[Focus General] Rahul_M:
Yes, I am not able to force update via zune. So thought about cabsender method but don't want to take the risk as mango is working properly on my focus. And tango doesn't have much to offer other than mms, which I never use.

If you're unlocked:

First, run *#1234# in Diagnosis. If the latest 3 letters of the PDA are less than KK2 (ie KI4, KH2, KK1, etc) then you can do what I did: WindowBreak and update with Zune (less chances of brick) and unlock with *#9908#.

Oops, SORRY, I totally missed what I was reading...
[Focus General] bennyj71:
My Focus isn't unlocked
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I see. In that case, you can use cabsender method to update.

However, If I were you, I would unlock, for the benefit of homebrew (battery app, custom widgets, etc etc etc). And, if your PDA is less than KK2, you can unlock with WindowBreak, install WP7 Root Tools, alter the registry key

HKLM \ System \ Platform \ DeviceTargetingInfo \ MobileOperator

from "ATT-US" to "ROG-CA", connect in Zune, and update. Less chances of brick and it's the "official way" to update through Zune, plus you also get to decide whether you still want to have homebrew after the update.

Your call.

Ok tried WindowsBreak. Don't know if it worked. Tried emailing WP7 Root Tools to myself but don't see where it installed.
