Hi there, please help me with verizon bootstrapper, I bought it on market, start it, then make reboot, start clockworkmod v 3.0.0, what should I do next to make xt4 formated?Should I pull out sd card from tab before formating?thanks

Oh for the love of God let this thread die.

The software here is not Beta, it is broken.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] siacotos:
in the instructions to the link you provided it says to do what is listed at the beginning of this thread. but i have a question. i have a uscc tab flashed with verizon restore method, can i treat it as if it were a verzion? and where do i find the kernel and image file? the links at the beginning are dead.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ayalah1986:
Is there any updated links?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] siacotos:
i found some links on page 50
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pendevous:
I think I have to quote this again so some people will read it more.

Better yet, with the new gb firmware and chainfire's cf-root, this thread just lost a lot of its value. I think it would be better to close it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] extremx:
I am having this same issue, but did not see a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
If you can get to Download mode (that "Downloading" thing) then flash a working kernel using Heimdall. Assume you're using a VZW Tab then look for a kernel by Boushh (oh hell, I looked for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941781). There are instructions in the first post on flashing the kernel using Heimdall. This will give you a partly bootable system with ClockworkMOD. Once there, look for a custom ROM for VZW Tabs ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] extremx:
I can indeed get to download mode! Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] extremx:
So at this point, i use heimdall to flash the KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v4.OC.zImage to Kernel and Recovery. It reboots and chills at the samsung screen. If i power cycle at that point it goes back to the non-animated battery screen again.

(i originaly flashed the KhasMek.Voodoo.plus.CDMA.Tab.v4.OC.zImage using SGS)

Thanks,

*edit: SO i used the zImage from the v5 .zip, and now its talking to me telling me its convering. So i think i'm good at this point. If not i will be back ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Unplug it to avoid that charging screen. Then boot to recovery (vol. up and power) and flash the custom ROM by Boushh
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ahmadshawki:
I used the emulator instead of the adb on the PC. It worked like a charm.

Thank you soooooooooo much for the detailed instructions...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] randyist:
I also have the Sprint Tab. I tried flashed CWM and it's on my tablet now, but it hangs at the Samsung Screen. If I shut it off and boot into recovery by pressing VOL UP + Power, it starts doing a backup as it boots into recovery, and has a bunch of errors near the end of backup..I succesfully flashed the Spacemoose rom, it only took 5 to 10 seconds.. but then when i do the reboot, it still freezes at the Samsung screen. I'm really afraid that i bricked this thing :(:mad::(

After i get into recovery, and it starts doing all that backup stuff it says:

E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

/cache (invalid argument)

/cache/recovery/log
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Once again: the software in this thread is BROKEN! Please don't use it. If you're using a Sprint/VZW Tab then look for the work by Boushh. He has made a ClockworkMOD that works, as well as a very good custom ROM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TainT:
And the GSM versions?

I was headed to install Chainfires cf-root v3.3 because it installs CWR. Chainfire himself recomends using "Koush` version"

Could you lend your opinion on the best way to get CWR installed on a rooted T-Mobile tab. (froyo)

Its time to get some phone love outta my tab. Ive had it since Nov :-/

I guess that covers it :-)

Guess i should read threads backwards....found all your Goodness GrammarFreak, thanks .....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Sorry I didn't reply. Real life and all. Seems you're sorted, but I'll say this:

Most custom ROMs have CWM built in, and Chainfire's kernel/root thing-a-ma-doo is always a good place to start
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheATHEiST:
Surely you mean thing-a-ma-bob? :D

TMO tab clockworkmod ver 2.5.1.8

I have a TMO tab rooted and had ROM manager installed from market. I used ROM manager and flash clockworkmod recovery and got version 2.5.1.8.

The recovery works but it has some mounting errors. How can I update to the latest version? I am running stock TMO ROM.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
If you're using Gingerbread, use CF-Root. If you're using FroYo use An older version of CF-Root or the MoDaCo Custom Kernel
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] greenleaves:
I have a US TMO tab Model number: SGH-T849, running firmware 2.2 with Build number FROYO.UVJJB. There are KAI, JME, JJ7, JMG versions etc available. Which one of CF-root should I choose? Many thanks...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Personally I'd go with JJ7. Do a quick search for Roto backup and back up your kernel (zImage) before flashing CF-Root though. If it works, let us know. If not, we'll try and think of something else :D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] greenleaves:
Thanks for the heads up. I just read about the naming convention on the download page.

Just wonder what is the difference between the CF-root and the MoDaCo kernels? Which is would you recommend? Would you recommend Ext4 partition creation when flashing the kernel? You can see I'm new to SG-tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
The MoDaCo kernel is built from source, whereas CF-Root is reverse engineered. Ext4 conversion will happen where needed, if you use a custom ROM that uses ext4 (Overcome and CM7 both convert automatically)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hexxamillion:
Nice... I wish I came across this post before I came across TheUnlockr.com. They did not include your disclaimer suggesting to use the bootstrap instead. My tab is bricked after flashing this Clockworkmod Recovery and I have noticed that others had the same issue. I still have not come across any solutions...just posts about peoples tablets bricking. The search continues...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hexxamillion:
Forums are your major friends! Got my tab back in working order. I just paid for the verizon tab bootstrap as suggested.

Hello I'm from Israel

First of all i want to say that the links in the first post are not working so if someone can help that will be nice...

another thing is... here in Israel we don't have Verizon and T-Mobile...

some says Israel is in Asia and some say we are in Europe..

So my question is... is there a way maybe check something in the Tab.. to know which one of the recovery I need to use?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alforque:
Did you try the Sprint version? I have stock up and running, though with some quirks. Stock or KhasMek

Also, where did you download the files from? The link in the original post gives me a 404.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ripjaw27:
Koush needs to renew his BlueHost domain. Files are down. :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
All the ROMs available for the Tab (with the exception of stock) include cwm, and most provide an Odin/heimdall flashable version. Boush released a kernel with cwm and voodoo sound for CDMA devices, and chainfire releases versions for GSM tabs. None of them have ROM manager support, and they never will. Koush won't update the links, he doesn't read this thread. The kernels with CWM that he made are gone.

The point in this post: you don't need what was available here any more. It was broken, it's gone now and good riddance too.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] CalamitySir:

what about gsm tablets?? i am from singapore....

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ezeuba:
Only works for Froyo

I nearly developed brain fatigue trying to figure this out. I have a verizon galaxy tab which I upgraded to GB with the firmware I downloaded from oldmacnut. Then I tried to get CWM working on this. The installation goes well until when I rebooted. The system hung at the verizon logo. Nothing I did could correct this. Until I flashed back to Froyo. Apparently this works only on Froyo. Now I have CWM 3.0.0.0 on my Galaxy Tab. Heaven...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtwebfusion:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you need the EF01 kernel / cwm recovery to work with EF01 GB build. This is what I'm currently running. Rom manager doesn't acknowledge it as a valid recovery, but there are no Verizon roms there, so it doesn't matter.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] EYESTRA1N:

Like u, I check this thread and My advice is the same as yours. If u want to give some help my tab is stuck at the vzw wireless screen. When I go into recovery I get a can't mount blah blah blah. Yup, already reported in the thread numerous times. Answers? None. I wasn't reviving the thread, just informing a fellow member to beware.

Hi,

My SPH-P100 (Sprint running 2.34) stopped working a few months ago because google force-updated the gservices/google play app, no it just keeps crashing.

So I want to update to 4.x or higher and it looks like you have a lot of experience with the samsung tab.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could point me to a rom that you recommend for my CDMA tab.

Thank you and keep safe and Healthy!

Can we EU Tab users flash a Tmobile Firmware and then use this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shmigao:
not sure whether the OP answers what the poster is asking. He's asking whether he can flash the Tmob firmware (= making his device a Tmob device), then apply CM recovery, since Tmob is supported. He's not asking whether EU tab is supported (which we all know by now, it is not).

anyway, i do not like the aggressiveness in this thread. if someone would add koush/clockworkmod in twitter we all would know that he didn't even have a tab, volunteered to create a cm recovery for us anyway, and slowly the ball starts rolling.

we on the other hand are *****ing and biting like little girls that didn't get the right Barbie doll - surely a great incentive for developers joining this forum and starting developing recovery/ROMs at the risk of being attacked or users *****ing with and against each other

i have no say here, but let me just say this: CHILL!

Question

Guys,

I installed Clockwork from the Market today on my T-Mobile Tab before I saw this thread. I didn't realize I had other things to do before installing it. As such, I didn't install the flash image that is referenced in the instructions from Koush. In other words, I installed Clockwork out of order from the steps listed. When I run it, it doesn't work and gives me errors when I boot into recovery and my only option is to basically reboot. I am not really interested in other ROMs at this point, I just want to get a good Nandroid backup.

Did I screw things up by doing that? Is there a way to reverse it? Can I go back and install the flash now on top of clockwork?

Just don't want to brick my new Tab without getting some clarification.

Thanks in advance!

-Rob

Anything I can do, or provide, to move along getting the VZW kernel done, let me know.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] KarlMarsh:
If you follow Koush / ClockworkMod on twitter you will see that he just received a Verizon Tab in the mail and is now working on a recovery / kernel for that version. He is still waiting for someone to volunteer to loan him a ATT, Sprint and Unlocked European Tab so he can do those versions as well. BTW, he is in Seattle. The sooner people loan him their Tabs the sooner we will have custom recovery for (most) all of the TAB's.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jnutz:
I am curious why the TAB requires a specific kernel and the Galaxy S phone do not. Why is that Koush?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
I am now, but there's too much to go back through.

Thanks for the update.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vaelek:
Just got my Sprint tab. What can I do to help move things along? For any who don't know me I am a rom dev from the EVO forum. Even I find the OP a little confusing. I realize that different devices require different methods, but this whole thing with messing with the kernel to get clockwork does not make any sense. In all of my Android experience, these are in no way related. Can someone more knowledgeable than myself explain what's up with that?

Anxious to get a rom brewing here. Just so I'm clear on this, if there are other differences as well, once rooted (if even necessary to flash), can a rom be flashed by just using the update.zip method? And are there any risks with this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jtc442:
Awesome to see you here Vaelek!! I used some of your stuff back when I had my Evo! Ive got a tmo tab, but is definitely great to see you come over and offer assistance!!!

Sent from Jt's Samsung Galaxy Tab!!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
You will be able to flash using the update.zip method once the CWM is successfully ported. The risks in doing so will be similar to all other android devices, next to slim.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] vaelek:
I see there is another thread for CW here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850995

Posts there claim that CW is working just fine on Sprint tabs with only minor graphical glitches. It also does not require any meddling with kernel images. Are these two different solutions being actively worked on or is this thread now outdated? Trying to soak this all up. The other thread is much more similar to the EVO method, and this thread is more similar to what I've seen for other Samsung devices.

I've been up and down the forums looking for these answers but haven't found much. I just want to get all my ducks in a row before I dive in here, and start offering assistance to others on my forum as well. Some issues I've seen discussed in other threads (iirc this one as well) talk about the modem.bin being irrecoverably lost when flashing, but I have also seen in the rotobackup method that the modem.bin can be backed up. I know Galaxy tab development is still in its infancy, but so much conflicting information is not good, unless I'm just really missing something here.

I propose the mods create a 'useful information' sticky here as I've seen in other device forums containing links to current good information. If I, as a dev, am having a hard time working out what is what here, I can only imagine how the noobs are feeling.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] sedde:
THere where too many bugs on that version, major glitches and no working nandroid backup, thats why they stopped that project.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alterbridge86:
Looks like I may have found a bug...

Everything was going great on my T-Mobile tab with clockwork and all until I went to use the camera. You click on the app and it opens, hangs for about 25 seconds then says "Camera failed".

I've been troubleshooting this for a while and i've come to this conclusion.

1) After a clean flash of JM6, all was well, camera worked.

2) Rooted with superoneclick, camera still worked.

3) Flashed modified kernel for use with clockwork, camera no longer works.

Can anyone else confirm camera issues on their modded tab?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
No One help me? Please
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] pirish1:
I think that is a great idea! I also think that because the devices seem to be so different between the models that there should be sub-forums that deal with the respective carriers. That way someone with a Sprint model doesn't bork their device using a method that is only compatible with say, an AT&T model.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Chainfire:
Well, I got CWM to work on my Euro TAB just fine (for NANDROID purposes only) without flashing any kernels (using T-Mobile update.zip). Too bad it didn't backup or restore /dbdata... sigh.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Quick question...I am quite sure it's been covered. Does CWR work on Verizon's Gtab? I know there is no kernel yet.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
That is the expected result. I too am waiting for the kernel to test it out.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] deez1234:
Yes Im patiently awaiting the VZW kernel
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jnutz:
I don't mean to be rude but I already asked this question and I was hoping nobody would mind if I asked again. Why does CW on the TAB require a specific kernel? I thought the TAB operated very similar to the Galaxy S and CW has never required a specific kernel with that platform. Is this just a beta thing or will kernel support be required going forward on the TAB?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
@koush

What needs to be changed in the kernel? Maybe i can do it! ;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] SteveSlimer:
When you first install clockwork on those devices, it asks you for which model you will be using. I think it's baked into CWM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] thdragonth:
@koush

From what I can read, you miss a great job with this program, but I want to make a query. I have Galaxy Tab-Vodafone Spain, is supported. Tab to select the galaxy, to make the backup, there are 3 options (Verizon / ATT / T-mobile), one of them is compatible with my Galaxy Tab-Vodafone-Spain. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Chainfire:
After some more mucking around, disecting CWM, modding the original recovery, etc, all I can say is that the current version of CWM for Tab (2.5.1.8) is horribly broken.

It backs up certain things twice (like /data), doesn't restore some data properly at all, etc.

The thing still even refers to sd-ext, which isn't used on our tabs.

Wait for an update...

After installing everything through ADB on Verizon tab, it instantly restarts, does a backup, then converts all filesystems to ext4. I don't mind this but is it normal??? Also, when it finally reboots nothing works...it just vibrates and keeps going back to the lockscreen.

My tab is now soft bricked...not really sure where to go from here!

Yeah I'm in the same boat at the moment - it finished converting to ext4 but when it booted back up it shows the lockscreen/homescreen briefly then just reboots again over and over.
