Well, I got to talk to tab user, who has helped shed some light on things...

Firstly, I don't know if all galaxy tabs come with sd cards.

Secondly, an option was presented to backup to internal or external sd card, of which he chose his external sd card. The tsprsp wasn't present in his system.

If people can report on whether an sd card is present in your tab, that could be a key here. Also what carrier you have would be helpful too.

Also, I'm working on an uninstaller for the script, those interested in testing should post here or join the irc channel in the clockworkmod post by deodexed.

Edit: I need someone with a stock galaxy tab to pull the recovery file from /system/bin for the uninstaller. The batch menu script for the uninstaller is ready, along with a menu addition to remove the tsprsp from /data/local.

I should have a menu item to uninstall the script by tomorrow night, I'm pretty sure.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
Based on my own programming experiences, my guess is

tspreq = timestamp request

tsprsp = timestamp response

and that those files are named pipes aka FIFOs , so you need to ignore them during a backup/restore as they will be recreated by the OS on next boot. They take up no space on the filesystem, as theyre used as an IPC channel between apps and/or the kernel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] GMeola:
I have also found anther issue after installing this recovery / root on my VZW Tab.

I seem to have lost vibration of anything, notifications, in applications, plus soft keys do not have Haptic feedback anymore with it still enabled in Sound Settings.

Anyone else having this issue ???
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
No problems here.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hendry64:
Same problems :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] deez1234:
In my opinion I think this should have been thoroughly tested and all of the kinks worked out before its release. Until it's compatible with ROM manager, it may cause confusion for less advanced users. Not bashing anyone, just my point of view. Keep up the progress but maybe slow it down a bit till it is more refined. I do understand the demand for this but I know I would prefer stability over a quick release. All in all, this has potential and I appreciate the effort by the devs. I thank everyone involved for their time. Once again I'm just stating my opinion so no need to flame me. Incredible beginning to the more advanced development of this great product! Love you all including those that take this post incorrectly. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shoman24v:
This is why I am waiting before I do anything. Last thing I want to do is brick my Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
Thanks everyone for the help with tsprsp file issue. I deleted it and storage is fine now.

When I did try the back up I tried it with internal and external SD. I went into the cache folder and deleted the internal one already.

also I believe all tabs come with SD cards. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] deez1234:
Yes, it's surely a good idea.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alwayslearning:
I have the verizon tab and after install my vibration still works fine
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
Mine didnt came with a sd card. Although it was flashed with a vodafone logo and an old rom, i flashed the newest euro firmware and all of it was gone.

Having the yaffs problem on mine too.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oxeneers:
Any ETA on fixing the flickering?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
mine is gone too!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
I have tried everything but the haptic feedback is gone and i can not do any nandroid backups as it gives me that "yaff" error? I am afraid to do anything else as this seems like it might do more harm then good. Not trying to blame anything on anyone but just not worth bricking my 600.00 tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DRockstar:
OK, zip is updated to include uninstaller with original recovery file...

I don't see how haptic feedback could be affected, but let me know if the included uninstaller helps you out... just redownload the zip and there is a menu to remove all root and clockworkmod redirector files. I got an original recovery file for the uninstaller.

You can just use the z4root app from the market to get root again.

another cool script inclusion: adding a t switch to the script will go to a menu to delete the tsprsp file that has been nagging some:

Windows:

run t

Mac / Linux:

./run.sh t

I have been told that the tsprsp problem is not related to the clockworkmod script, that it can be present even on a stock system.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DRockstar:
Sorry I haven't been able to answer other clockworkmod questions... I'm not the developer for the clockworkmod here, just the scripter for the installer / uninstaller, just so you guys know.

At least the installer is ready whenever changes are made.

Keep posting your experiences, and I'm sure more work will be done.

Figured I'd let ya guys know.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
Thanks DRockstar for your efforts ! The flickering is a nuisance, so I hope it can be fixed. I'm gonna try your latest script. Cheers, Dan
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maniac3389:
Same thing happened here too, both the haptic feedback and the yaffs2 problem when I was creating a backup.

I'm using an AT&T Tab btw.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
Yeah that is the strangest thing that haptic feedback is gone. I just noticed that on mine. I have the VZW tab. I unstalled the ClockworkMod but it was still gone, so I just did the factory rest and my haptic came back.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maniac3389:
Ugh... that's what I was afraid of... I just tried a wipe cache from the stock recovery (after uninstalling and rerooting) and that was a no-go. I wonder what it could be.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ninja4hire:
Do you have Titanium Backup? That is what I used first to back up all my apps and all my emails. Saved me tons of time and was painless.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maniac3389:
Great minds, lol. I just finished wiping and doing my restore. I can confirm that it brought everything back as well as the vibrate. I wonder if we do a backup then CWM install then wipe and restore if that would restore the vibe function while keeping CWM, thought I am not sure if that would fix nandroid.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] b16a2smith:
Has anyone attempted to resolve the flickering issues?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
Let me preface this first with saying that I DO NOT blame anyone or their program. With that said, ever since i loaded this version of clockwork my haptic feedback hasn't been working so i used the "fix" and reloaded the program and picked option 2 to delete it and SU out. Well now I can not get my wireless tether to work and it was working before I did any of this??? I have no idea whats going on but I am leaving it alone. I cant even get the tab to do a factory reset at all it just hangs there. Any help would be appreciated, thank you
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mach330:
My wifi tether still works.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] DRockstar:
Very important question for those with issues:

Have any of you performed the lagfix?

I just noticed that there is a lagfix post that seems popular here that I wasn't aware of... I'm not accustomed to it being called OCLF...

I have to mention it, because when the clockworkmod redirector adb script was released on the epic, it would hose the system of a certain rom with an ext2 lagfix installed...

EDIT: Looked back at the post from that user... the symptoms included an inability to perform a data wipe, the modem had issues, and the capacitance buttons wouldn't work... sound a little familiar at all? These symptoms only appeared to me one time with the epic 4g, and it was because of the lagfix.

After a great debate the lagfix was removed from that rom since the large consensus of the developers was that a lagfix wasn't necessary... I never got the opportunity to discover the exact cause because the lagfix was pulled from our forum after only one user reported the problem with the script.

May or may not apply to the tab, but I have a feeling it might and thought it was worth mentioning. I'm very sorry I didn't see this sooner but I posted this as soon as I saw the OCLF thread in this forum... it didn't even occur to me before that the lagfix was being debated here too....

I had to put a warning on my all in one script for the epic because of this lagfix business.

I will contact noobnl as soon as possible to have him edit the original post with a warning.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Mereden:
Successfully installed on my tab, I can boot into recovery either with adb or quickboot, and it all appears to work. I was getting errors about it not finding resources 'progress_empty' and 'progress_full', I can make the errors go away by remounting the system fs and copying the 'progress_bar_empty/full.png' files to 'progress_empty/full.png' but this doesn't change the flickering problem.

I'm guessing the flickering the thread mentions is the same as what I'm seeing - when I navigate up and down in the menus within recovery every second press of the volume buttons causes the screen to go blank?

Thanks for the work thus far!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mv3900:
how to select action

sorry for the noob question, but I can (eventually) get to highlight back and restore, but how to you actually select it (enter).

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
The screen power button.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] morganlowe:
OK, I tried to update my Sprint tab to the newest release of this mod because I was having some weird data issues I thought might be related. First though I wanted to remove the old one.

I plugged in my tab vie USB, got the debugging turned on, run the script and it fails when it restarts ADB and leaves the tab locked up. Now its a big mess... Root doesnt seem to work but recovery is still there and it wont go past this point. Any help?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mv3900:
Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try.

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

Thanks. That worked, but I also got the yaff error.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Evil_Sadness:
It is possible to install the mod on the device direkt about the ROM Manager or must i use the install about the usb connection and Linux?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
Ok I was able to use the script and delete the clockwork mod and root then went in to the original recovery system and did a factory wipe and reset and got my haptic feedback back. So I am good there and reloaded root via Z4,,,having small market issues don't know that is from but can reload everything via titanium. Hopefully this can get fixed, there is def something here, and a awesome start!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Try manually rooting it or downloading the z4root app (it works for the Tab) and just re-root it. Is that the only part of your big mess or are there more issues?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
Is there a way that you can use wifi tether on the galaxy tab to connect to say a laptop or is it just that we can only connect with wifi tether throwing off a signal from a phone to the galaxy tab?

In other words can I install wifi tether to the tab and use that to give internet connection to my laptop?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
I experienced something weird.

I tried twice to install the clockworkmod both with success, but i had different outcome.

1st installation, my haptic and vibration was gone, so i uninstalled, and reinstalled rom, and on my 2nd installation, my wifi was dead but the vibration was there. I didnt install it for the 3rd time, i will be waiting for a more stable version.

Thank you for your time and effort to compile this though.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Segnale007:
Successfully installed but doesnt work well on my GT, the display goes black anytime I switch between options, and if I click on an option I get several kind of errors. I tried to uninstall it then install it again but same thing.. keep it up guys :) ..
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
Ok, so I have re-installed this custom recovery mode from my Mac, this time using the newly-provided install script instead of my own "run.sh" hack. I just installed over my existing install (no need to uninstall anything, the script simply overwrites any existing file).

I still have no problems with the haptic feedback (vibration), everything is working as normal (I am running JK5, by the way, on a UK-source device).

I had to rename /system/bin/recoveryres/images/progress_bar_empty.png to "progress_empty.png" and "progress_bar_fill.png" to "progress_fill.png". The recovery still works without these changes, but it gives a warning/error message about the missing files otherwise.

The recovery menu items sometimes don't work, I have to try several times before I can enter a sub-menu. It is a bit nerve-wracking as there are sensitive menu options, like "erase things" ! You're never really sure what is happening at any given time.

In addition, the screen flickering is becoming a problem (on/off/on/off/... at each display refresh), for example I am trying a full backup to external SD, but I can only see one message out of two. So for example, the last message printed on the screen during backup happened during a "blackout", so the device was just waiting there...and I couldn't tell what was going on. Fortunately in this case I just pressed volume up/down and the change of menu items restored a visible screen.

Regarding backup, I also get the yaffs2 error for /dbdata/

Everything went well for the boot, system and data partitions.

Keep up the good work, hopefully these niggles will get fixed soon ! ;)

Cheers, Dan
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
Ah, I have now lost the vibration feature in Smart Keyboard Pro and barcode scanner (and probably all the other apps too). :D

That being said, DroidWall still vibrates at boot time, so I guess there's a problem later in the initialization stage.

I have uninstalled this custom recovery mode, booted into the 3e factory recovery (as provided by the "restore" function of the uninstaller), but the vibration hasn't reappeared yet :(

I will try a few more things, I need to test a PDA + PHONE + CSC ROM flash anyways ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
Yeah my wifi is dead too and I have haptic feedback after I deleted the mod out? I am also experiencing some weird auto turn offs and i have to plug in the power cord to turn it back on. Not saying that is because anything this mod did just weird if anyone is having this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Segnale007:
same things here, I had to do wipe my partition data ... :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
In addition to the symptoms described below, my Tab became particularly unstable and sluggish. I also lost alarm capabilities. I looked at the eLogCat output and realized a lot of these Force-Close errors were caused by a lack of available space on /data/ (by the way, the vibration works during FCs)

I checked the /data/local/tsprsp folder and discovered the dreaded giganormous temp file. I deleted it, but the available space was still zero. I rebooted and it cured things.

Oh, I also noticed a new CPU hog in the battery usage panel: /system/bin/immvibed (apparently that's the haptic feedback daemon). Very strange, I will continue to monitor that.

That being said, I am about to flash a complete ROM, so this should sort out a few things. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
One possible optimization to the run.sh script for Mac OS X:

ignore ".DS_Store" files !! ;)

(otherwise they get copied to /system/bin/recoveryres/, /system/bin/, etc.)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alwayslearning:
:o When you say the zip is updated, are you talking about the zip file on post 1? I have downloaded it and unzipped it and ran the run.bat but I only have the option in the menu to install, where is the option to uninstall?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hybred-nexus:
any one get a full back up with out error? i un-installed because i was getting errors.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KarlMarsh:
I wonder if the nandroid backup cant complete because the partition its writing to runs out of space in the process?

Just a thought from left field. I don't even have my Tab yet but I am following these threads with great interest.

New Bug

I dont know if this was posted but when installed revovery after about 3 to 4 days my tab had full memory not alot of app on it. I had to remove and wipe to get rid of the full memory.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] piotrtom:
after instalation there was not possible to enter into 2e recvery mode. i uninstalled this succesfully but i'm in 3e recovery. i've installed new complete firmware but i'm still in 3e recovery.

could anybody help me in this topic?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] piotrtom:
ADDITIONALLY I'M NOT ABLE TO ENTER REBOOT 2E RECOVERY FROM MENU.

AT THE BOTTOM OF CWM SCREEN I HAVE

E: Missing bitmap progress_empty

(Code: -1)

E: Missing bitmap progress_fill

(Code: -1)

Back from 2e recovery?!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maniac3389:
I thought that 3e was the stock recovery. It was at least for my AT&T Tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
The stock recovery is 3e.

Re. the missing png images: 2 of them need to be renamed in /system/bin/recoveryres/images
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] piotrtom:
thanks about renaming. it works.

recovery 2e was needed for me to root not in cwm but as z4root from the market.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Kikouyou:
Retuning to stock recovery

Thanks for updating the file and allowing us to come back to stock recovery

However haptic is not working any more...

Any solution to reactivate it?

Thanks much

<Gt tmobile>
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
For me, the solution was to flash a new firmware from scratch :D

I had other problems like the /data/ partition filling-up with unexplained data, and lots of resulting Force-Closes. :o

This recovery is clearly not ready for prime-time, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

Dan
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
The CM recovery builds for the Tab are going to be specific to the model. You can't run a VZW recovery on a GSM phone. More importantly, it replaces your current Kernel, which may be incompatible with the firmware revision you're running.

My advice, stop playing with it until its done. You're just wasting your time at this point.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bert269:
can you please be more specific....

What does it need to be renamed to?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bert269:
I found the problem....

This run.bat file does not like pathnames (where the code is running from), it if contains " " (spaces) in the pathname.

I got the same messages, stoped the script, renamed the path and remove the spaces and it worked fine second time around.....

Try it and let me know.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] zyborg:
Stock EURO update.zip

Does anyone have a stock EURO update.zip (prefer JJ7) (possible own backup) that I might use to flash through the recovery console?

My product code is "KOR" (device bought in Thailand).

I need to downgrade from JM6 to JJ7.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adinis78:
for those of us that do not know how to use adb, how can we get a hold of this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] amoamare:
adinis78,

then i suggest you not do this.

1. This recovery has issues and cause's issues.

2. If you dont know adb cmds i wouldnt even bother because you will be in world of hurt when you try this and have to recover from it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] adinis78:
i'll just wait until an actual app like CW for the Vibrant to come out.....

Is it possible to uninstall cwm? My tabs been acting strange since I installed it
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Deodexed:
Noobln, I have notice a lot of questions on this thread, can you please inform the people on here what is going on with the script you released? They are saying it is not working and they are having issues?

Did you ever test this on your friends tablet? If so, what did he do to get it to work? Alot of people are wondering what they need to do to get your script to work. Has this process been confirmed to be a working recovery?

People, myself and others are still continuing to work on getting a full working Clockwork recovery on the Galaxy tablet, posted on my thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9328710&postcount=1. Join us on the IRC Channel #Modadroid-Galaxy-Tablet. If anyone is interested in telling me what their experience with Nooblns script is, please join the channel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
Can someone please explain to me why is it so hard to make a workable recovery for the tab? I am not trying to offend anyone, but one would think that after ALLLLLL the different phones out there that have clockwork installed and working that this simple tab would not be this difficult? Or is it that the tab is not popular enough to get some much needed attention, just wondering???
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gophet:
My tab is screwed. Slow as ****, unresponsive, no haptic, and the restore function in the restore boot menu does nothing. Now my internal tablet storage is full for no reason. I wish someone would chime in and let me know if its possible to uninstall this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] kingskidd268:
You can un-install but you will have to wipe. So back up.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Archangel:
Ok since no one else wants to say it,,, i will,,,, STOP USING THIS UNTIL IT IS FIXED! There is NOTHING good that will come of this version of "clockwork". The person who made this obviously does not care enough to at least up date others as to what to do or even attempt to fix it.

I ask the Mods to take this down until it does get fixed it is causing major problems to almost everyone's tab!

Sorry if this offends anyone!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
Agreed, this is going to give you a bag of hurt. I gave it a go knowing that it was very beta, but it's clearly not even made alpha yet for the tab. Caused lots of issues like described above. Running the clockwork uninstaller, reflashing JM6 and factory has got it back to normal but caused a few flutters, and I've been flashing devices without issue for years. AVOID!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] gophet:
Would a odin restore from rotohhammer fix this? i have a feeling not...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] monoko:
I am no sure what is the problem with your tabs but rotohamer and maniac3389 have backups of all parts of flash. If your boot area is broken you can propably use ther dump with odin to get i back. BUT BEWARE YOU CAN REALY BRICK YOUR TAB IF YOU BREAK YOUR BOOT ENVIROMENT.

Look on to threads restoring tmobile stock and creating firmware from dd

I am newby so beware of me as well.

Odin usually nukes the device and fixes most stuff.
