Hanging on TWRP

I had the same issue with TWRP failing via ordin. I actuall used an older version and it worked flawless.

I used twrp_p5att_2.3.0.3 after the newer version kept failing.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Blackberrynomore:
Well I downloaded the stock rom and loaded it up. Then I Odinned the TWRP 2.3.1.1 posted earlier and then rebooted and immediately got a bootloop? I tried to Odin CWMR which was on the device previously but could not get Odin to upload it. Also tried re-uploading TWRP and to no avail. So now I am Odinning the stock rom again. Gonna try CWMR after it is loaded up and see if that works. Pretty discouraging but I will keep at it as I have been up since 4:30 am. anyhow as I couldn't sleep.

Stock kernel now booting up. Will let it completely boot before I reboot and try to install either TWRP or CWMR. Would rather use TWRP but if I can't get it to go then I will try CWMR which has worked in the past.

Well got CWMR to install via Odin. Then I downloaded the TWRP 2.3.0.3 previously mentioned and tried that and voila it worked and i have a functioning TWRP recovery image. WOOHOO! Now if I could just figure out the button pushes to get into the damn thing??? I was able to get in using the GooManager app reboot recovery but can't for the life of me figure out what sequence of buttons to hit to get in the old fashioned way?

An as a side note this rom seems to be a lot more peppy and faster than the DannoROM I was running previously. That is no dig on the developer just an observation I had. The DannoROM rom just never seemed to run very well for me and it ate the battery like nobodies business.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jd1639:
Power and volume up. Hold both down until you see the Samsung logo, then release power, then a second later volume.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I wonder if booting into the Rom first before flashing recovery is the culprit
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] jd1639:
To get past the bootloop I had to flash a recovery, twrp, and then do a factory reset through the recovery. You can probably do that thru the stock recovery too. Boot into recovery, then factory reset, then boot up. Bet that solves the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Blackberrynomore:
Nope i tried that Orlando. It has to be something to do with the TWRP 2.3.1.1 because the 2.3.0.3 version installed fine after i had installed CWMR. I don't think installing CWMR had anything to do with it i think it is that 2.3.1.1 version causing the issue. I had a Gapps FC when I turned the tablet on 5 min. ago not sure what that is all about?

DannoRom 2.0 Rocks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Blackberrynomore:
I noticed while looking around in this rom that there is a lot of phone stuff? Does that mean that it might be possible to finally be able to make phone calls on this device? That would be crazy cool to be able to place phone calls from my Tablet. I know this has been discussed in the past but I just thought with this new rom maybe there is some hope for making phone calls.

DannoRom 2.0 Rocks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] engrboy:
I finally got Odin to work for me. Note I uninstalled Kies and it worked fine.

TWRP 2.3.1.1 worked for me. Used odin to flash the rom booted up, then loaded TWRP on. I flashed over top of the ROM I was using CM10 update 7.

Is anyone else having issues with the tablet randomly saying "the SIM card has been removed"?

attempting to make flashable zip

If one *were* to try and make a directly flashable zip of this (using DannoRom 2.0.6 as a base only because I don't know how to do this from 100% scratch), would that look something like...

download I957UCLK4_I957ATTLK4_ATT.zip and extract to I957UCLK4_I957ATTLK4_ATT

download DannoRom_2.0.6.zip and extract to DannoRom_2.0.6

cd I957UCLK4_I957ATTLK4_ATT

mv HOME_I957UCLK4_CL1167230_REV02_user_low_noship.tar.md5 HOME_I957UCLK4_CL1167230_REV02_user_low_noship.tar

tar xvf HOME_I957UCLK4_CL1167230_REV02_user_low_noship.tar

cd HOME_I957UCLK4_CL1167230_REV02_user_low_noship

simg2img system.img.ext4 system.img.out

mkdir /tmp/disk && sudo mount -o loop system.img.out /tmp/disk

rm -rf /apps/tmp/DannoRom_2.0.6/system/*

sudo cp -av /tmp/disk/* /apps/tmp/DannoRom_2.0.6/system/

cp /apps/tmp/I957UCLK4_I957ATTLK4_ATT/HOME_I957UCLK4_CL1167230_REV02_user_low_noship/boot.img /apps/tmp/DannoRom_2.0.6/

*insert signed zip voodoo here*

???

profit!

No SIM issues here.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] ihashacks:
real men use dd

Ok, so I decided to man up and do it the "hard" way:

*** on device

boot into TWRP

Backup

*** on laptop

adb pull /data/media /apps/android/backup/tab

cd /apps/android/i957

simg2img system.img.ext4 system.img.raw

rm cache.img.ext4 recovery.img system.img.ext4

for i in `ls --color=no` ; do md5sum $i > $i.md5 ; done

adb push /apps/android/i957 /data/media/i957

adb shell

cd /data/media/i957

md5sum -c *.md5

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

dd if=amss.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

dd if=mdm.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

dd if=system.img.raw of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24

*** on device

still in TWRP

Wipe --> Factory Reset

Reboot --> System

That worked flawlessly and is actually recovery/ODIN/OS-agnostic. Since that is what most people are having issues with, I suppose this works "better" if not "scarier." :)

A lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I was waiting all this time for a flashable zip, and to be quite honest, it was nearly as easy.

Everything shows official under the info section, and the included radio is working really well (much better than the previous) for me and the added bonus of not having to download and set my tablet up over again was a nice surprise.

I actually have someone who wants to buy it, and i'm stuck between waiting for the new sony xperia tab coming out (although, i dunno if i can afford 500 bucks this time around) or a galaxy nexus 7 - which seems to be you get a lot of tab for such a reasonable price.

Is this safe for Bell carrier? (Canada)

You mentioned that this was tested on ATT in the US, but am I safe to use your method if I'm on Bell in Canada? Same model of device, running the stock ICS (4.0.4, I think).

Also, will this make me lose all my apps? I've read that it doesn't touch the SD card, but some things are also on the internal memory. For example, the game saves for FF3 are inaccessible without root (in /data/ somewhere), so I can't back them up before rooting the device. If it does overwrite the internal memory, is there any way to just enable root access without overwriting the stock ICS ROM? I don't care about custom ROMs or anything, I just need root access.

More credits for this project go to:

-[highlight]Lloir[/highlight] - helping me build the device tree for CM9 which i used to build the recovery.

-[highlight]TeamWin[/highlight] and especially [highlight]Dees_Troy[/highlight] - for making this awesome recovery and for making our work official.

If you are grateful for this work, thank both of us, and the people mentioned there, just for the sake of it.

FAQ:​

Q:Is this recovery a touch version of CWM?

No, it is not a touch version of CWM, but it has touch and some other nice stuff.

Q:I have this hboot or that hboot, will this work for me?

Yes, this recovery supports all the hboots available for this device.

Q:Can i flash this or that ROM/MOD/Kernel with this recovery?

Yes, if it doesn't work, it's probably not for our device and the mounting points are not compatible.

Q:Is this better than CWM?

This is a matter of taste, but you could say it's better because it has more features.

Q:From where can i download themes for it?

Check the web if you find themes for the resolution [highlight]480x800[/highlight], if not, recommend them here and maybe we will port them :)

Q:Why does the pictures above show a different version than the thread title?

The pictures are generic and will be updated only when major changes occur to the recovery.

Hello and congratulations for the excellent work.

I have a Sensation XL with official rom ICS 4.0.3. with this configuration:

HBOOT: 1.28.0006;

RADIO 3831.16.0016_M

I plan to unlock your device (from htc dev site), but my question is:

This recovery can install it on my end or is it just for HBOOT 1.25 (GB)?
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
yes it will work. this recovery works with all hboot versions
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
There is a FAQ in the second post, please read it, there is clearly stated that this recovery works on ALL hboots!
[HTC Sensation XL] g.andy:
Thanks.

The step for flash custom ROM are?

Unlock bootloader.

Flash this recovery via fastboot.

Flash supersu.zip ( for root).

Full wipe.

Flash custom ROM.

Inviato dal mio multiboot HD2
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
Please read the thread, are the informations are here.

There is another easy alternative, you unlock bootloader >> install goo manager from Google Play (market), and in goo manager hit settings and install openScriptRecovery, something should appear, hit next, next, ok, ok, apply, apply and there you are :)

Just one question: can I restore via this recovery previous CWM-made backup?
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
You can try but im 99% sure that you cant.
[HTC Sensation XL] bomdia:
im see you are italian you can download my theme and you translate the recovery in italian ;D
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
No, CWM-made backups are not compatible with TWRP and TWRP-made backups are not compatible with CWM.
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
also what i did think :) backup files is also a diffrent format in twrp than cwm :) and remeber guys backup can be sized down like if you put something in a zip file :) only thing is it take a little bit longer :) but i tested and a normal that filled 700 mb was only arround 350 mb big when using that
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
sometimes its best to say you dont know mate...............makes you gain respect! lex knew and i know but you shouldnt give answers based n assumptions! i have actually tried this to test a while back and it is not possible. cwm backups and twrp are done differently hence the reason why
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
I also tested this :), as i had multiple backups from CWM 5/6 and TWRP, and stock CWM 6 are not compatible with CWM 5 and others, but CWM 5 are compatible with CWM 6.

Hope this helps :)
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
Well that's not a big problem. I'm going to restore previous backups with CWM and then backup again with TWRP. It takes a bit longer, as I have to switch through different recoveries, but then I will have all my backups ported
