Are there any direct download links which do not require unknown programs being arbitrarily installed on my system or changing system setting without my consent?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] glockman4519:
I am trying to locate a zip now or at least an .img. If I can locate a working and up to date recovery I will link to my dropbox or Mega for you to download.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] Darthdaddy:

Here is a link to CivZ's most resent CWM touch.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2299497

This tablet is not officially supported by CWM or TWRP so that's why we are having such a time finding it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Ah, so thats what you mean, we used to call it dancing CWM on Xperia 2011 devices. Maybe the same patch will work for this device aswell.

To Do:

1. Build non-touch recovery fix UI issues

2. Use 2011 Xperia patch on 5100 and 5110 kernel source
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] Speedy Gonzalez:
That would be awesome I like your toolbox for galaxy note 2 it makes everything easy

I will love to help with testing but I am working now

what about a flashable script to make the external sd card the main storage is that possible?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] jntdroid:
Trying to figure out which one of those images would apply to the US model...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] desantim:
Galaxy Note 8.0 (WIFI)	GT-N5110	XAR	N5110UEBMC8	4.1.2	15.03.2013	1061040	Unlock

That is the model noted on my box here for the US - "XAR". No clue what they all stand for, but my exact model number is GT-N5110ZWYXAR

Hope that helps
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] jntdroid:
Thank you, don't have my box with me!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
The latest version for the US is: 5110UECMCA
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Experimental #2 Online.

How To Report Issues:

1. Description of problem

2. adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] GSLEON3:
If you are using CWM.Builder, then you will get the "Jumping" issue. It is building for a phone by default, not tablet, so it is rendering for portrait on devices that have landscape only recoveries.

You have to build from source using tablet Cyanogen sources, setting up the board & cwm device for a tablet. If you look at the source from builder, you will see that everything is set up for common_full_phone.mk

This is why I never released the version I was working on. I have a new machine, so I cannot build it from source until I complete setting up my new working environment.

If you want to port TWRP, I'd be more than happy to shoot you any adb echos you want.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
I used the CM10.1 source code with the specifics for 5100 merged to the i9300 tree. As these devices are all the more similar. Maybe thats the cause

EDIT: Can someone push the 5110 build.prop?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] xbill9:
tar file of build.prop from 5110 us wifi attached.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] GSLEON3:
I thought the N8000 (Note 10.1) had official source? Maybe merging to it, because if you use the S3, you are going to have rendering issues. S3 recovery is portrait default & tablets are landscape, hence the "rolling" screen. I can tell you that the Note 10.1 recovery can be flashed, but the display drops out. Also, there are a few PID that regard touch input that have changed from any previous Samsung device. That is why injection fails when using GMD Gesture Control, so the "Back" gesture doesn't work.

Is your build having the "rolling/jumping" screen bug? If so, that is why, because it is using phone recovery instead of tablet (landscape). The graphics.c file will not fix this because it is out of that files scope.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Yeah I suggested the graphics.c, as I didnt know that CWM was dancing at the time. Set up a fresh tree for it. New build will be up soon. And could you test out the TWRP build?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] Nanaki666:
I've tested TWRP and it's not usable, it's in landscape but I only see half the screen.

Furthermore the touch does not fit the icons I can see...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Again, adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
Anything further with version 3 of CWM or TWRP? Any success or problems? Comments or updates?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] Nanaki666:
It,s the same as version 2, i can't pull the log file, sorry
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
CWM #3 and TWRP is for N5110 only. I need reports if it works or not, with logs
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
Hi Mark, any progress on your Note 8.0 Toolkit?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
Rooted and tried to install the CWM Ex#3 and Ex#2. Ex3 didn't take but Ex2 did and passed without auto reboot. Rebooted into recovery and got CWM but could not get it to function properly. Then rebooted and the rebooted into recovery again. The Note went back into stock recovery.

I appreciate all the work that went into developing these experimental CWM but they are not functional. I am hoping that we get other dev to see if they can get a workable recovery.

Any other experiences to date?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] Speedy Gonzalez:
we need to donate to get a device for a good developer because this is dead
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] sefrcoko:
Agreed. It's still early but I fear there will be little to no devs on these Note 8 threads the way things are going so far. Perhaps this will change if we get a working recovery but I am starting to have my doubts unfortunately...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
It is still early and don't forget that emwno, GSLEON3 and mskip have been working or have indicated they are working on a solution.

I am confident that we will have a recovery soon. When that happens it should be easy to port many of the other Note Roms to the 8.0 since the hardware is similar.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Its not dead, its just the people owning the device not willing to pass me a recovery.log
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
Emwno when I attempted to flash Ex#3 with Odin it didn't flash. I checked the zip file and it didn't have a recovery image. I'll try again if you have a different download.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] sefrcoko:
Don't you need to use adb to pull the recovery log, as per OP (i.e. not by checking the zip file you downloaded)? Sorry if I am mixing things up or missing something. Try via adb if you can and please advise, otherwise I can try myself later this weekend. Thanks! Let's help emwno get a working recovery for our Note 8!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
I was referring to the zip file to flash with Odin. It did not have a recovery image. The others did but were older versions. If #3 would be improved over #2 then we would be one step closer. If the recovery image was missing then I would be able to try it again. I am not very familiar with adb so I have never attempted to pull a recovery log.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] tweak.:
Why are you bashing someone who is doing more than you are to help us? Goto hell.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
I don't know who you are talking about but you are very rude. We are all trying very hard to get the recovery for this Note. No one and certainly not me is trying to bash anyone. We are trying to clarify the situation and help. We don't need comment like yours.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] sefrcoko:
No one is bashing anyone here. You're comment is out of place. Please read more and swear less next time, xda is for all ages and we're all working together here. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] tweak.:
Instead of posting over and over again basically passive/aggressively whining about not having recovery, why don't you learn to pull a recovery.log?

Anything else posted in this thread is off-topic (guilty)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] sefrcoko:
You're right, I just went through each page of this thread and found only one log attachment. Sorry if I sound like a noob here, but I've never used adb before and I suspect that the same is true for many Note 8 users. In the interests of improving our chances of providing the necessary recovery logs, can you or anyone else please clarify and summarize the steps needed to pull the logs with adb? Perhaps even update the OP with this? I think this will help us to help you achieve a working recovery. Thank you very much for your work, you're our pioneer! :D :thumbup::thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] Speedy Gonzalez:
Maybe referred to me :confused:

when I said this is dead I mean the whole developing forums for the N8 are dead :(

when I said lets donate to get a device to a good developer I mean someone who can figure out the recovery thing but also tweak,port ROM's and make the device better

I didn't said or mean that emwno is not a good developer if he was referring to me :o

but yeah that comment is all over the place LOL. :D

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

exactly at least you are not afraid to say that and a lot of people like me :o don't use adb for a long time or some never use it and I think that is because all the developers make things simple for us like the toolbox and touch recovery :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] davp:
Thanks for your efforts

I tried cwm#3 on n5110, screen jumps/switches with each step through the menu or with each line output, but can be navigated (it helps to press up/down volume to figure out where you are or whether the current operation is finished).

mounted sdcard and external_sd via menu, and through adb mounts seemed ok

log attached

Edit: backup to external sd created a nandroid backup.

Link for ADB: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html

once you have it set up you will see op has provided the necessary command.

2nd edit

Also tried twrp - landscape orientation, touch offset from targets, could not figure how to use, had to reflash kernel/recovery (twrp-rec-log.tar recovery log attached)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Thanks alot!. could you send me a picture of twrp and cwm while its running on the device? (does it look normal?).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] xbill9:
Just loaded CWM experiment #3.

There are 2 screen shots. The first right after boot, the 2nd after vol up.

The screen seems to jump on every other menu option.

It is still usable if you are familiar with CWM - I have already ran a full backup.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] xbill9:
twrp screen shots.

first right after boot - the other after 1 finger swipe.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] davp:
Something I noticed about the note 8 cwm log that is different from the log from a note 10.1 cwm, is the mmcblk1p1 has ext4 for 8, but vfat for 10.1. I know this wont have any relevance to the display issue, but not sure if its intended? I was still able to backup to the removable sdcard anyway.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] roustabout:
I think mmcblk1 is the sdcard, so depending on how it's formatted it can be vfat or exfat or ext4?

Looking at the CWM screenshots, it looks like maybe one issue is that the image is scaled to twice the size of the display?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
thanks for those. Building a new version. resolution should be fixed now and twrp should be working properly :)

this was the recovery.fstab extracted from the stock recovery.img. so it should be the correct format.

EDIT: seperated threads for cwm and twrp to clear out issues on each etc.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] GSLEON3:
If you grab the source for the 10.1 & then diff compare it to the CWM build for the Note 8, you should be able to find the layout issue. By default the source CM files are setup for a phone, portrait device. I have done the above awhile back for the older tab, as it had the same issue when it first released.

A few of the touch calls have changed too, so some of the intent won't be passed using the 100% unmodified CM source. I have been trying to get back to it, but between rebuilding my environment (new machine) & the two hospitals we are designing, time has eben hard to come by. Feel free to email or PM me though if you have specific questions or need anyone to pull any logs, etc, & I can do that easily enough.

Right now I have Linux going & the SDK's set up, but I have not had a chance to install the modules I need for compiling yet. Hopefully this weekend.

To those complaining about development, this is a really new device. Tablets never have tons of development, even the Nexus 7 compared to the Nexus or N4 is nothing. It will come with time however & many mods can be easily ported from the Note 10.1 & vice versa.

For anyone that cares, you can sideload the zPSTouch apk & Adobe Photoshop Touch from the Note 10.1 installs fine works great on the Note 8. As do the Task Manager widgets from the S3 & the Photo Editor, & Video Editor apks also work fine.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Ex#4 for N5110. Patched with Note 10.1s tree (recovery).

what do you mean by that? specifically.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] davp:
cwm#4 : display looks good now!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] GSLEON3:
Pt.1

:) Yay!

Pt 2.

Nevermind on the touch thing, it will not affect recovery, but some intents are not passed along for some multi-point touch events. An issue that is affecting some gesture apps like GMD. I wasn't thinking it all the way thru though, so it should not affect single touch events like a recovery would encounter.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] rfb813:
I downloaded the EX#4 but I didn't get a recovery img in the zip. I tried to download a few time and still no recovery img. If I try to flash with Odin it will hang up and not pass. Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] roustabout:
I'll look at this when I get home. Something I learned to my chagrin earlier today - the #3 version did not let me connect via ADB as the Samsung recovery does.

For what I was trying to do, that was a problem.

But the up side is that with the complete recovery image and with Odin, reflashing did not overwrite /data so I was able to reflash, update, then reroot and I was back to where I'd been very quickly without loss of configuration
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] davp:
what zip? I downloaded "CWM-n5110_Ex4.tar" which contains recovery.img, to check the tar md5sum is aaf63a28724e0b62c75079768bccd47c,

flash the tar in the pda in odin

I was able to connect fine with adb for #3 and #4. What is mounted by default may be different from stock recovery. You may have to use the "mounts and storage" menu to mount what you need, before accessing it via adb.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] roustabout:
Weird - I can connect to the Samsung recovery over ADB, but no device is seen using the CWM recovery over ADB.

Do I need a CWM-specific ADB driver installed for the connection?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] davp:
Not as far as I know. I'm just using the same sdk adb I've used for all my androids (its running on linux, so I can't help with windows). Have you updated your sdk recently?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Yeah but it does effect twrp touch events. i.e its not working properly.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
Can any N5110 user test this boot.img? I need to know if it boots till the splash screen then in recovery (this will NOT boot your stock ROM).

Here is the test boot.img: pastelink.me/dl/dc426c

And here is the stock boot.img: pastelink.me/dl/f69bca for you to recover
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] davp:
It boots to the white/blue "SAMSUNG" on black screen...I waited about 1minute.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] roustabout:
My ADB mystery is solved - I looked at the devices, and my computer was id'ing the CWM booted device as "Konawifi" - once I manually chose the Samsung ADB driver instead, I was able to issue ADB commands.

Wish I'd thought to check that yesterday :)

I have tried three times and can not flash this in odin?

I have USB debugging enabled

start odin

click PDA and choose the tar image I even tried falshing as phone and no luck

start it says its done, then when I go to reboot recovery its not there?

Just tried for the fifth time. No go :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] emwno:
1. Try rebooting into recovery directky after flashing with auto reboot unchecked in odin

----if that did not work then:

2. There are some recovery__.sh files in /system and /system/etc. Use a root explorer to rename them to something else. (I dont know exact name)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] roustabout:
Chakra, this may obvious but since you mention "USB debugging enabled" - I think the Samsung devices have to be in firmware update mode for Odin to flash to them.

Odin reports it sees the device with an ADB connected device, but cannot successfully flash to it.

I put my Note 8 into upgrade mode this way:

Full shutdown

Press the Home and volume down buttons (gets my fingers in the right place)

Press the power button

Once it comes on, I get a big triangle dialog that says "Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems....

If you want to download a custom OS, press volume up

Otherwise press volume down to cancel"

Once I hit volume up, I have an android displayed with the large message

"Downloading.... Do not turn off target"

Up at the top, I have a red Odin mode message and how many times I've flashed the device :) Now I connect it to my PC with Odin already running and once the drivers are in Odin can see it and successfully flash to it.

BTW, you can power down your device at this point as long as you haven't started flashing anything.

Ya thanks I already know that. I have had a galaxy note 2 since it came out and a Gs3 and a galaxy Nexus, this is the first samsung product I have had any trouble with. My flash counter shows 5 flashes and I still have the stock recovery. I will try the trick from the post above and report.
