Full working now on Euro tab? Mine is sim/carrier unlocket tab but in the list of the appropiate device the generic euro tab dosent show...what i have to do for a full working recovery/nandoid backup!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
Yes. I've boinked a few Metamorph modifications, and I've had no problem restoring the nandroid backup made just before applying the MM (on VZW tab).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] d3mone:
FYI : You must have a micro SDCard on your tab because CWM try to make backup of all before convert to ext4. Without it nothing is done and if you restart your tab, you will be stuck to the Samsung logo.

Just add a micro SDCard and boot on recovery mode (backup + convert is auto during CWM launch).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AkiraX123:
I haven't used this utility before (I have to admit I'm pretty new to development on the Android platform, but I am fluent in Java / C++).

Just a few quick clarifications, do you need to be rooted in order to use ClockworkMod on a Sprint tab?

Am I correct in guessing that this package is designed to back up the stock ROM currently running on our tabs including TouchWiz and all of the other proprietary junk that Samsung didn't include in the open source ROM (kinda makes me wonder why they call it "open" source..)?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
Yes, you need to be rooted. I don't think there's a port to Sprint or ATT yet, just VZW, TMO, and EURO.

I'm not sure of your last question, but the process creates a backup before it writes the custom recovery. The custom recovery allows you to make nandroid backups and to apply updates that you would not be able to apply via the stock recovery (themes, kernels, ROMs, et cetera). There's not much in the way of any of these out there yet, though. Most importantly, for me, it does let you make a nandroid backup at any time, meaning if I try to change something in my framework-res.apk and screw it up, I can just boot into the custom recovery and restore (or just run the CWM app and choose restore and pick the restore I hopefully made right before tinkering and screwing up).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rmorrisonva:
Will it blend?

So if I install CWM does it or can it wipe my exisiting apps and data? I use all internal stoarage, no SD.

does anyone have the stock files for the verizon tab so i can get back to stock? or at least know where i can find them?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ZoinksS2k:
It may be prudent for somebody to post the original kernels so folks can revert to stock, like mob87.

zImage can be dumped using dd

ianandamy, read the second line of the OP or search.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mbh87:

edit - would it be possible to have a list of ROMs that can be used with this recovery
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] hal:
@Koush

I did a quick search on any occurence of ext3 in the thread and couldn't find any. Therefore I feel my question is not meaningless :-)

I suppose there is a rational for using ext4 instead of ext3, but I don't get it. My limited knowledge is that the journaling system in ext4 is more write intensive than ext3 and therefore can lead to faster corruption of the sdcard. I wouldn't mind too much if our sdcard wasn't internal, but unfortunately it is the case and I'm a bit worried on the long term effect.

Would you care to explain what pushed you to go for ext4 instead of ext3?

Do you see any mid/long term risk associated with this choice.

I could be misled by my limited knowledge of ext4 but would appreciate to have your educated opinion.

Cordially,

Hal

PS: An obvious corrolary question would be "Do you plan to produce a version that supports ext3?"
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mosone23:
If the file looks like "jibberish" its probably a. Txt extension due to using internet explorer. Try downloading with chrome instead.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
Tried on generic EURO tab ( no ATT no TMobile ecc ) whit boostrap and firmware JK5 , stuck on samsung glowing logo and the tab sometime make vibrations but dosen t boot , try to restore whit BEFORE EXT4 and dosen t work , after many tries(wipe data/cache) the tab boot and work but if i type *#1234# i see this

But i have a full work CWM 3.0.0.0 and EXT4

Reflashed the original firmware whit heimdall and revert all.

well this is interesting. i used to have ClockworkMod on my galaxy s and now i want it on my tab. seems things are a bit different somewhat.

i bought mine locally here in Baghdad and it came with a arabic/english firmware. ending in JPJJ1.

so which does this mean it is? euro or ? cause it sure as hell isnt tmobile.

pls advise.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Chainfire:
Quite probably the international version (also called Euro version). 100% sure? No. But it's pretty likely.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Okay, in case this helps anybody.

I feel like I am technical enough to at least perform basic step by step tasks. I have rooted many phones and worked in computers for years.

It took me weeks to figure out what I was doing wrong, and it was stupid.

I couldn't get the drivers to recognise my Tab so I could flash it with heimdall.

I was putting it in download mode, then attaching it to the PC.

Turns out you have to attach it first, then boot to download.

Simple as that and my problem was fixed. Flashed my kernel and recovery and rebooted. All good now.

I hope this helps some of you stuck with the Samsung or donwload screens as your only option as I was.

everytime i use heimdall i get kernel upload failed WTF

GUYS! DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNLESS UR ARE ON BONE STOCK TMOBILE. EVEN IF U HAVE A TMOBILE TAB AND UR ON THE EURO FIRMWARE DO NOT FLASH! IT WILL NOT WORK. that is all.

I think Heimdall 1.1 may have a problem, as I just spent 3 hours trying to flash my system from backups with no luck until I used Heimdall 1.0.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] infamousjax:
read the OP before you start asking dumbass questions
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Benjamin Dobell:
Hmm, Heimdall shouldn't be failing. I didn't really change anything major in regards to flashing. I think the following 3 things are the only things that changed (assuming you're not repartitioning, which is new):

If a PIT isn't specified then the devices PIT file isn't downloaded. However if you want the old functionality you can still optionally use a PIT file. If you could test that out and let me know that would be great.

I fixed a mistake where I had accidentally appended the total bytes to be transferred to the end of the wrong packet. This is what fixed the progress bar on the phone.

I changed it so that if a packet transfer times out and no delay parameter is specified, there is still a minimum wait time between retries. Realistically this behaviour is pretty useless as if a Galaxy S device times out it won't start responding again. It's basically just in to give users a piece of mind, no harm in trying.

Under normal circumstances you shouldn't ever need to specify a delay, this is why Heimdall is faster than Odin. However if you are having problems flashing it might be worth adding one in. For reference purposes Odin uses 15 ms.

I won't rule any of those things out but it would be a bit unusual. A more likely explanation might have to do with the version of libusb-1.0 (1.0.8) that compile against/run. The libusb-1.0 version distributed with Heimdall 1.1.0 is taken from a development branch, as proper Windows support isn't yet in a official release. So I suppose it's possible that something subtle changed in libusb-1.0.

If someone could run Heimdall with the --verbose switch and provide me with a log of a failed flash that would be great. Perhaps pipe the output straight to a file so the start of the log isn't lost.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
If people actually read the instructions and think about it for more than 2 seconds, the majority of questions asked so far would've been unnecessary, as they're answered in the OP.

The key section is:

"Anything not listed" includes, at this stage, ALL EURO TABS!

If it's not a TMobile Galaxy Tab, then there IS NOT a kernel available for your device

yet

.

If people practice a bit of self control and wait until people (be it Koush or otherwise) have had a chance to kindly volunteer their own free time to port the code to the other variants, then you can have your recovery.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
I get no errors, verbose output looks to be the same between v1.0 and 1.1. I'm starting to narrow down the issue now. I'm just flashing modem.bin files to test quickly.

If I flash a modem.bin from Heimdall v1.1, reboot the tab, the Baseband version does not change in "Settings/About device". If I flash with v1.0, the baseband version changes.

When I have more time later I'll dump the bml partition and compare the data to be sure.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rotohammer:
Interestingly, I'm running Koush's CWM & T-Mobile zImage with JMA, and I don't see any problems, I guess I'm special :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Benjamin Dobell:
Ah, I just remembered one other thing I changed. Is it just the modem flash that is causing problems. If so then the cause is almost definitely the following:

main.cpp, line 196 - 197:

/*if (bridgeManager->SendFile(file, EndModemFileTransferPacket::kDestinationModem))*/	// <-- Odin method
if (bridgeManager->SendFile(file, EndPhoneFileTransferPacket::kDestinationPhone,	// <-- Kies method

Prior to the 1.1.0 update I was flashing the modem as I had seen Odin do it. However I noticed that Kies did it differently. I assumed the "Kies method" was the "correct" method as Kies is how you officially update a device. Would you mind trying again with line 196 uncommented and line 197 commented out instead? So you'll be using the "Odin method" again.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
I think the problem is that for a number of people it doesn't work, and in fact can cause major problems. As the point of recovery software is to be able to safely recover to any point in time, it's a particularly big problem :). Great that it works for some - potentially disastrous when it doesn't work for others :eek:.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Just curious, what does it do when you try to run a nand backup? I've run it a few times and it works just fine.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dsb9938:
Well, at this point it's BETA. It's only meant for those with experience and intestinal fortitutde.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
Quite agree, you should expect the odd problem with BETA software, though if any software should be handled with care it's those that promise recovery ability. Very surprised that this BETA is a paid-for software on the Market though, and heavily promoted as such in the OP of this thread. But as they say, you pays your money and you takes your chances :cool:.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] b0ricuaguerrero:
this is to all who are having problems trying to flash the modified kernal. you have to download the modified kernal and flash_image file and put those files wherever you have adb installed. assuming you have adb already setup in your computer you will begin.the problem i had is i could just adb push both files into the phone, but could not gain # after i typed in su. so i figured i would use terminal emulator to do the rest

from your computer you will type the following commands hitting enter after each line

adb push flash_image /data/local/bin/flash_image

adb push tmobile_zImage /sdcard

now open up terminal emulator from your tab and then you will proceed to type the following commands hitting enter after each line

su

chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image

/data/local/bin/flash_image boot /sdcard/tmobile_zImage

sync

exit

Download ROM Manager from the Market.

Flash Recovery.

Choose the appropriate Galaxy Tab version.

Accept the Superuser prompt.

Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.

made is stuff, then said it was time to reboot

Rebooted in clockworkmod 3.0.0.0

it detected my sdcard, said i might have not enough space to backup

But later it said backup complete without errors

it made its conversion process (really really fast, is this normal ?)

it said it had remounted every mount point, with no errors.

then i choose reboot again,

Finally i'm stuck at boot screen, with nothing happening.

being not sure of what happened, i used heimdall to flash euro_zimage, which worked.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] knightnz:
Reflash a complete firmware. Use Chainfire's recovery instead of Koush's if you have to. As much as I appreciated all of Koush's hard work, I've had too many issues with Clockworkmod & ROM Manager. The issues may be fixed, but once bitten...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] doloop:
I flashed part of roto full V4, and my system is back alive.

Too sad i didn't made a complete titanium backup before, what a dumb.

However, i'm not really insterrested in the backup features of CWM, all i wanted to try was the rfs to ext4 full conversion. Better than the ext2 loopback partition used by OCLF.

However, another bad move from me: i discovered i didn't had enough space left on the sdcard i used to make my backup, so this is surely why it failed the process.
