Yay, I got bluetooth working!

There is a fix program developed to fix bluetooth after OCLF etc

http://www.appbrain.com/app/bluetooth-fix-repair/com.phk.bluetoothfixrepair

I have installed it, run the fix and now I can pair with all the devices.

The app was developed in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=757350

I used heimdall to flash the kernel instead of flash_image and everything seems to work so far (haven't tried bluetooth yet).

Koush, could there be a problem with flash_image as that seems to be what's causing my problems (at least)? The bootstrap worked, the original Rom Manager method worked to a point, but the flash_image method appears to have caused all of my samsung logo problems.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TaIz82:
Sry for the noob question :p How to flash zimage with heimdall? everytime i try i got error..did i miss something? already put my tab on download mode :/ oh i used bootstrap also hang on galaxy tab samsung logo....i tried everything..doesn't work for me :(

Edit: just forget what i said...i flash zImage international with heimdall to my tab but still doesn't boot so conclusion my tab is not euro version
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
After flashing international_zImage you have to reboot to recovery first so it will convert all partitions to ext4.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TaIz82:
Nope sry it didn't work either..instead i got this computer-----phone image lol...thx for helping though :)

@Technomancer, what firmware did you used on your tab? i used JMC...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I am using Euro JK5.

computer--phone image means that you are in download mode

You can use "heimdall close-pc-screen" to make the Tab exit download mode.

After you flash the kernel with heimdall the tablet will reboot and be stuck at Samsung/Galaxy logo, it is stuck there because the initrd is trying to mount partitions in EXT4 but they are in RFS. See if you can adb to it. Run "adb reboot recovery". The tablet should reboot to CWM recovery and begin RFS->EXT4 conversion.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Butsasboy:
good job! mine is GT-P1000. Which one should I choose in your selection?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TaIz82:
I give up.... nothing works for me...even i try running 'adb reboot recovery' ....try using bootstrap many times.. still stuck at Samsung/Galaxy logo :(

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, so all was well, but then he updated everything so I applied the updates.

Now I have a choice of either "Samsung" for ever, or the loading screen.

I know I need to reflash to recover from this, I read post #223 where the heimdall command line was given. But I assume that requires the file listed.

Where would I find that?

I've never used heimdall, and I am at work without the tab right now. Just trying to prepare for when I get home.

I do have a nand backup from the night before which I plan to restore later, or can I somehow do that now?

Can I just flash the image in the OP, reboot recovery, and restore my backup?

Kinda lost.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yaotl:
what tab version? what exactly did you update and how? what "file listed" are you talking about?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
Your best bet (and also for those getting stuck) is to flash a known working firmware and wait for the tab version of CMR to get out of alpha status. There are a few ROM's available in this section - e.g. JM6. Flash using Odin or Heimdall when the Tab is in download mode.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Sorry, VZW.

I installed the bootstrap from the market 2 days ago. All went well and was working fine. I did a nand and was happy.

Koush updated everything last night, so I did as well.

Now I am either stuck on "Samsung" or the yellow Downloading screen.

I know I need to flash, just wondering if I can simply flash the recovery in the OP and restore my backup, or if I need to start from scratch. And if I have to start from scratch, where would I get the file to flash with?

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
This does not support the VZW tab. But I'm sure I can get out of this, I've recovered from worse before. LOL

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yaotl:
Did you flash the new kernel with flash_image? If so, go into download mode and use heimdall to flash it again. That's how it happened to me and it worked fine in the end, didn't need to use a restore.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
I did not, you aren't supposed to have to with the bootstrap.

But I promise I will be trying several things tonight when I get home.

D
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Yaotl:
So you ran the bootstrap again?

dsb9938-

full instrutions for flashing vzw tab from lock samsung screen is post #143 page 15.

i followed the instrutions and flashed the vzwimage, got out of boot loop and working again.

suggest uninstall of b-strap and wait.

hope this helps!

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Yes, after koush updated it on the market.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, Heimdall drivers wont install.

My XP machine sees the tab as an Unkown USB Device.

Any help?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shmigao:
i have not used Heimdall, but I would guess you would also need to install the Android SDK in order to get the android usb device drivers
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
They are already in. From what I read you need more drivers for the Tab.

I have an Incredible, Aria, and Ally. All rooted and hacked to hell.

This Tab is making me crazy.

Euro Tab CWM install failed!

I have tried all 3 methods to install CWM: flash_image utility, Heimdall and Euro Bootstrap from Market.

All 3 results are the same: no errors during the installing, new recovery menu but device can't mount /sdcard and stops fs reformatting.

I tried that on P1000XWJJ7 NEW and P1000XXJMC firmwares...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] silver-alx:

I did just as this says, but when I got to the recovery screen, I have two error messages.

1. E. Failed to verify whole-file signature

Signature everification failed.

2. Where it says applying Muti-CSC , it says installation aborted.

Also, on the recovery screen , it says

a. reboot system now

b. apply sdcard: update.zip

c. Wipe data/factory reset

d. wipe cache partition

It doesn't say anything about "install zip from sd card or nanoid.

Any help? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] coldheater:

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Got stuck at the Samsung boot screen and had to use Heimdall to restore my kernel and recovery.

I had major problems lol. Couldn't install the correct USB drivers, then had to find C++ runtime, installed C++ 2008 runtime, realized that was the wrong one (lol), installed the right one, failed to use the command line Heimdall, then finally flashed the recovery and kernel back to stock. Phew. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread though!

Edit: I actually used the Bootstrapper app to support Koush! I know he's gonna get this to work and it's WELL worth the $2.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
LOL

I'm still waiting then it seems. Flashed it before it was on XDA too.

/me goes off and twiddles his fingers.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] atoy74:
So, I've run the bootstrap application from the market and now stuck on the Samsung screen. I've tried following the instructions posted on page 15 by jarrettv but get the error above when running Heimdall (yes, I've installed C++ distributable.) Pressing vol + up on boot does not get me to clockwork recovery.

Feeling like i'm at a deadend. Any suggestions? Are there any command lines I can do to force the Tab to boot into clockwork?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
Sorry for noob question but for flashing the zimage file i can use the heimdall-fronted version? I don t found where to use the promp command c:\galaxytab\heimdall\heimdall flash etc.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
I have used the Heimdall-Frontend to flash the kernel successfully. If you want to use the command line syntax, you will need to run it from a command prompt. Does that help?

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
That is exactly how you would do it. :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] :
Ditto. Rooting, installing, and working with CWM recovery was easy. Going back to stock to return my Tab to Best Buy was a challenge to say the least. :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mosone23:
Could you tell me how you got back to stock? Everything was great for me,til I made a dumb mistake and updated my vzw bootstrap in market...flashed,booted into recovery,and instantly went to the Samsung screen where its been for the last 8 hours. Tried to flash again with heimdall...it flashes successfully, just doesn't get me off the splash screen. I've been looking EVERYWHERE in threads and on the Google machine for the files I need(stock recovery image/factory RF...did find the kernel,thanks breakthecycle2)to get back to stock. Can anyone please help?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] NeidRider:
I was stuck in the same situation; it even got me to the "phone --- pc" screen, and heimdall didn't do anything after this. what finally got me back was flashing a complete rom with odin...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
All of these posts saying that it installed fine and no problem - have any of you tried doing a restore of the backup that CMR makes when it flashes the new kernel? I found like everyone else that installing this thing is a piece of cake. Actually using it to restore from backups (the whole point of this software) was another matter. Koush himself has posted in this thread about the issues he'd identified. It took me a long time to restore my tab to a workable device after the last restore I did with CMR.

I'd like to see more posts from those who've successfully backed up and restored with this recovery (especially for the EURO tab using the International zImage) before I have another go, so anyone with some success stories along those lines? Just installing it doesn't count :).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
Thanks again :) Last quest : where i can found the stock kernel image of my euro tab JK5 and where i have to put the files for use the prompt command? In a custom folder ? Or in a specific route?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] controller38:
I have a Taiwan Galaxy Tab and just used [Euro Tab Recovery Bootstrap] + [ROM Manager Premium] (select Galaxy Tab - ATT) to install the ClockworkMod Recovery, the installation seems successful. (I can see the ClockworkMod Recovery screen)

However, when I want to backup my current ROM, the error message shows:

==========

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl9

(File exists)

Can't mount /system/!

==========

Anybody know how to fix it? Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] atoy74:
Since no one has a suggestion I'll settle for a complete wipe and reflash back to factory. Again, dont really see how I can do this. Any help? (VZW Tab)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
Did you open the readme in heimdall and follow the instructions to install the drivers for heimdall in addition to the C++ redistributable?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] atoy74:
Yes, I have installed the USB driver (libusb (WinUSB) Devices, Gadget Serial) and have installed the C++ 2010 redistributable from the link. Heimdall_frontend starts fine, I'm able to select the kernel zimage and hit start. After this nothing happens. The "ready" message goes away, the percentage sign greys out and the start button can be hit again.

If I use the command line I get an immediate crash. Again, this is on both a x86 and x64 bit machine.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mosone23:
I have the same issue...except I got heimdall working...just didn't fix the issue. Can factory.rfs be flashed in heimdall?im not familiar with Odin.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] atoy74:
Where have you found the factory software?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] atoy74:
Is it possible to flash verizon_zImage via Odin? If so, where would I plug that in?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mosone23:
Never used Odin....The factoryfs.rfs you should b able to get on irc.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] controller38:
I figure out the problem finally.

After boot into Recovery, select [Advanced] - [Reboot Recovery], the Recovery will reboot and the text color become orange (originally was green). After this step, I can run Backup and Restore successfully.

But, the content of backup or recovery seems problem. After restore, the system can only restore stock applications, all applications installed from Market disappear. I checked Settings - Applications, the 3rd party applications do show in the list, but the size all "0KB".

I think either Backup or Restore may has bug.....
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] svrroot:
tried today with euro Tab Bootstrapper - tab seams afterwards broken, reflashed (JMD) with odin and came back to life, seams that i should read the FAQ next time :(

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
No news froum Koush ( updates , fix etc.) ? On the current version of Rom Manager the generic Euro Tab in the appriopiate device is not aivable there are only ATT Verizon and T-Mobile .
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] photonmedia:
Flashing with flash_image left me with the Samsung logo screen, too. I'm on a US Verizon Tab. I could not get it to boot into recovery or do anything other than the Yellow "Digging" mode used to transfer from Kies software but that would not even successfully connect.

Instead I got it to that mode and used heimdall to flash kernel and recovery. Again it got stuck at the Samsung screen but this time I was able to power it off and then boot into recovery with Vol-Up + Power. Now it is going through the process of converting to ext4 and will hopefully (fingers crossed) be working again.

Once you have heimdall installed (easy on ubuntu. just grab appropriate binaries from here:http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/)

1) boot into "Digging Android" transfer mode with Vol Down + PWR

2) with phone connected to PC run heimdall flash --kernel verizon_zImage --recovery verizon_zImage (the file linked in the OP by Koush)

3) when it reboots to the Samsung screen and gets stuck, unplug it and power down.

4) boot into Recovery with Vol Up + PWR and wait for the conversion process (it will perform a backup and restore of the system in the process)

5) at this point I was still getting stuck at the Samsung screen so I ran "heimdall flash --kernel verizon_zImage" again and this time it rebooted and booted up fine. I now have CWR 3.0.0 and a booting Tab!

Sounds a mess, but I was sure I was lost. Hopefully playing around with heimdall a bit can possibly save you guys that are having problems like it did for me.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bert269:
Will this ClockWorkMod recovery work with EURO rom - JMC / JMD ?

I have a

USA Tmobile Tab

that I have

installed the JMC rom

with this upgrade path (from stock JJB >> JM6 >> JMA >> JMC).

I am not sure, but I think I do have the 'protected bootloader' installed, since I have installed the full ROMS each time (did not do the ROTO-ROMS).

Currently, when I reboot into recovery and I try to load the original (TMO USA) clockworkMod recovery update.zip file, I get the same error messages as been reported previously in this forum:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

I guess this is due to the 'protected bootloader' introduced with the JMx ROMS, right?

How do I get the CWM-recovery to work on JMC / D roms?

Can I just install the international_zImage with the supplied flash_image utility, (from first post) onto JMC and will CWM-recovery work?.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mosone23:
Wait...where did you get the recovery image? Or are you saying you put the //test/flash_image in the recovery spot on heimdall? Or both in kernel spot?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Ok, i used heimdall to flash the verizon zimage file and now i have cwm recovery.

My question is how do i tell if i have the ext4 file system?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
adb shell

# mount | grep ext4

/dev/block/stl9 on /system type ext4 (ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

/dev/block/stl10 on /dbdata type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

/dev/block/stl11 on /cache type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

VZW Tab here and restore went fine. Had tried a couple of metamorphs that didn't end up working out, restored to just before and worked perfectly.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Sweet, thank you! I'm ext4!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] milomak:
before i start any of the process is it possible to create these files by backing up my current stock tab?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] texasice:
Confirming clockworkmod recovery works on the sprint tab using the verizon process. Make sure to factory reset before rebooting into recovery. data and cache backup will fail otherwise. I just installed verizon tab recovery from rom manager.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
Now that we have a recovery, and Koush has done a custom kernel, is there anyone at all working on an OC Kernel?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Boushh:
It's not a custom kernel in the sense that no optimizations have been done to it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
I realize that, but he had to build it to work with the recovery. The open source kernel won't run on the VZW tab compiled straight from source. Still, it'll be a happy day for me once someone starts working on faster kernels. ULV and interactive don't matter as they do on my phone; battery life is great. I'd just love the extra juice to still be able to run plenty of widgets and Skype, Locale and other background hogs without worrying about things getting draggy. I just haven't heard even a peep or rumor of anyone starting up on it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ZoinksS2k:
Nice. Full nandroid backup/restores working as well?
