[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
I'm not sure if this is relevant for Euro, but when I originally used the bootstrap, I got stuck at the same point. Simply using heimball to reflash the zImage a second time for the kernel only got me running, and I've been able to backup and restore many times since.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] doloop:
wouhou, this time it works the first time. My primary partitions are all ext4, under roto jme v4.

Thank you all for your help.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
You have used bootstrap app or flash with heimdall? Your tab model ( generic euro , att ecc)? Thank you

Euro tab converted, but what to do now?

Hi all,

I've got the stock firmware, I followed the steps and used clockwork mod to convert my partitions to ext4 - That all worked fine.

Now i've downloaded rom manager and I'm trying to flash recovery.

However, when I look in the menu for supported devices I don't see euro tab, international tab or P1000 tab.

Which model should I choose?:confused:

Thanks all.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] doloop:
I used euro bootstrap, my tab is euro version. Tab feels a little bit more snappy: application switch is faster. There was a delay when going back to home before, which has disappear now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mobile88:
I have a Europe Tab. I have bought Rom Manager previously for my NexusOne. Two days ago, thinking of easy way out I bought Europe Tab Bootstrapper . The 2 step process was just too irresistible . My TAB was freeze at the Samsung logo.

I couldn't reflash back to stock with Heindall using the zimage provided in post#1 :

Euro - http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsun...ational_zImage

I At the end I use Odin 1.7 and successfully flash Rotohammer JME v4 rom instead just to revive my Tab

I hope Koush will work on improving the beta version so that it can really work with a 2 step process
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
Please can you tell me how you have do it? At my first try on with the JK5 firmware was horrible! Stuck on Salmsung boot logo and i have to flash all again to bring my tab to life...now i have Roto-JMEv4. Thank you if like help me.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rumdog:
Sorry I should have clarified I am using the p1000 tab with stock samsung firmware....

thnx.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bluemonde:
still Beta.....

Koush any updates?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
It kind of seems to me that people fail to read instructions and reboot to recovery first to do rfs-ext4 conversion before booting normally.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dansus72:
Where does it say that?

Besides i used the Market Euro version and it still baulked, but managed to it going again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
In the first post

9. adb reboot recovery # Boot into recovery

It will now convert your rfs partitions to ext4.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dansus72:
So it does, i didnt get that far as i was using the easy option.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxvelday:
Please give me a link to the ready file recovery for werizon since I can not find the stock rom. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bluemonde:
I did it the easy way too.

VZR Bootstrap from Market.

Hit Bootsrap recovery

Sucess ( Click ok)

DL Rom Manager.

Flash Recovery

selected Verizon Galaxy tab

accept SU

hit back up.

black screen

nothing happen.....

turn tab.

Samsung logo forever....

Tab got replaced.

now I'm stock and rooted with Z4root.

I just dont know what when wrong,,,,,,

I would like to do it again but too much risk...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Frustu:
After hit Bootstrap button you have to hit reboot into recovery not go to rom manager, without hit reboot into recovery you go to stuck on samsung logo. The reboot needs to convert partitions to ext4 ( it takes some minutes)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Coolsaber57:
After I got stuck at the Samsung logo, I took the zImage from this thread, put the tab it Download mode, and flashed the zImage with Heimdall. I was then up and running.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] doloop:
for those who had sucess flashing cwm3, could you please confirm camera and button lightning status?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] QueenAmy:
I am on a EURO Tab &

I always reach to come up to here:

adb push flash_image /data/local/bin/flash_image

adb push international_zImage /sdcard/

adb shell

su

all these command work well,

but once I type in: su and ENTER and start to type chmod ..

the command windows suddenly says: "Permission denied"

?? - Can anyone tell me if I am doing anything wrong?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] farahbolsey:
have a look at your tab after you type su command cause it will ask for permission
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] QueenAmy:
Thank you ..

now, I get up to here: /data/local/bin/flash_image boot /sdcard/international_zImage

but after this command ..

it says: failed with error: 3

?

Tried it - until the Tab went into Recovery Mode,

but stuck right in there - when I choose "reboot system", I see only the black screen with the green android in the middle (with the triangle and the exclamation mark). From then on, no matter how long I wait: nothing :(

Couldn't get out of it either .. if I power off & power on again, it will start in Recovery Mode (which does not work)

In the end, I had to flash stock firmware XWJMF using Odinv1.7.

(Luckily, this works so nicely)

Does anyone know what error: 3 means?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] seraphimserapis:
Tried to flash CWM on my tab (euro version) but it didn't work for me.

The rfs to ext4 conversion didn't run and the phone was left in the boot logo for about 20 minutes. Then I flashed back Rotohammer V4 and used CWM from Chainfire :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] QueenAmy:
seraphim :) - thanks!

I flashed Rotohammer's JMEv4 (and really like it!) -

but the CF Root flash with Odin did not work (FAIL on top left corner of Odin).

General Question:

The latest Rotohammer JMEv4 Full version is already pre-rooted - if I now want to flash CF Root would I have to flash to another JME version first?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] S3RIAL:
I know its a bit late but i need to revert the changes done by Clockwork.

i tried to find the necessary files

heimdall flash --kernel stockzImage --recovery stockzImage --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs

but i didn't find anything useful.

I've got an European GT-P1000 with stock "Froyo.XXJID" firmware. Can somebody tell me where i can get the necessary files?

verizon CWN not workng

Okay im a noob with the Galaxy tab (verizon) I have a Evo that is overclocked and Has CWM and Custom rom. I know a little bit but not alot . I know nothing about ADB or anything like that (But im learning) . However I rooted with z4root and it worked great. however when i went to rom manager and flashed clockwork 3.0.0.0 using rom manager . Rom manager said that it was successfully flashed. But when i turn off the tab and hold down power vol up and home to get into CWM it just boots into the android recovery? anyone know why CWM isnt showing up? do i have to flash a kernel ? Or is it a must that i run the bootstapper app ? I didnt want to install is because alot of ppl said their tab got bricked by using bootstapper app. so it sum this up all i did was use z4root to root and it worked im rooted. install rom manager flashed CWM siad it was successfully flash. But when i power on VOL up hold home it boot into android recovery not CWM . Do i need to run the bootstapper or flash a kernel? Any idea's here? i just wanna make a nandroid back up so i can play around . Has anyone with verizon done this sucessfully? any feedback with be great and again sorry for the noob question but i just wanna make sure here that is all .:confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
The instructions are in the OP for manual or if you buy the bootstrapper from the market, run it, then boot into recovery before booting normally.

If you get stuck at the Samsung logo (which I did really early before the bootstrapper ran) flashing the kernel again via Heimdall should get you unstuck.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] derekdlc:
Hey everyone,

(Total noob with the Galaxy Tab Sorry)

I just got my Galaxy Tab (Tmobile). I used the instructions on the first post and successfully got CWM Recovery on my device. So I made a back up and Im good to go.

Now my question is which rom can (or should) I try with this Recovery which has a Koush Kernel. Hope someone can point in the right direction.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ivannw:
any ideas for latin version ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] blackbeltrk:
Well looks like im out of luck then because i dont know anything about Heimdall . I know how to flash roms and kernels with clockmod or RA but that is it. Im running windows vista on my computer isnt heimdall for the linux OS ? mmmmm wonder if somoneone will come up with a lazy man's way for doing this . Lol or is this the lazy mans way already.. So just to get this right you have to run recovery bootstrapper because the bootloader on the samsung tab is locked and the only way to unlock the bootloader is to run the bootstapper or push with adb right ? But once you run bootstapper and then use Rom manager to flash the recovery you should be to go right ? or do you have to load a custom kernel as well? any feedback would be great thanks for the help ...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
Heimdall really isn't that scary. You basically run a program called zadig that comes with it, put your Tab in dowload mode (hold Volume down when you press power on from the off state) and plug it in. It'll show up in the device list, sometimes with the right name, or in my case as Generic something (you can figure out which one is the Tab for sure by noticing which one appears/disappears from the list when you plug it in or unplug it). Click it to install drivers. Then there's a Heimdall-frontend program that you run and it pops up a little window with text boxes and file picker buttons for all the bits you might flash. To flash kernel, no surprise it's called "Kernel". Click start and there it is. No scary command line or --somethisg /dev/null --fixpebkac or anything like it. Still, I think as long as you remember to boot straght into recovery, not normal boot after running the bootstrapper you shouldn't get stuck at the Samsung logo.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] blackbeltrk:
hello, thanks again is their any chance you could send me the links how to download heimdall i seached for it, for about a hour here and cant find how to download it . Could you also use odin instead of heimdall?

so you think if i just download the app from the maket run it . Then do i click on reboot on the app (bootstapper) or are you saying run bootstapper then power down the samsung tab then hold VOL up + home and press power on too get into recovery?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] blackbeltrk:
Never mind i find it thanks anyways . If i go to the frist post and try to download the kernel i cant its just but a note pad form of letters and numbers. Any idea here ?

Can someone double check pls.? in case im missing something..

What if you already flashed CWM with rom manager can u still use the bootstrap method? because i flashed already but didnt no i had to unlock the bootloader so as of right now i can only boot into android revcovery until i run bootstrap.

Also if you use the bootstrap method do u still have to flash the kernel?

any feed back will be great .. Im sorry for the long listed of questions here but i only had my tab for 4 days now :)

I installed the euro version off the market, rebooted, it all seemed to go fine, after it booted back i have no backlights on my keys, camera dosnt work and gps is broke :/

edit: Everything works again after flashing another rom
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] blackbeltrk:
Everything went great !

Okay i just wanted to let everyone know that i used the bootstapper app on the market everything went really well. I have my camera my soft keys light up and i also made a backup with CWM and that also went well. I have not tryed to restore has of yet i dont want to push my luck to much as of now ! The only problem im having right now is that when i connect my tab to the computer via USB it cant find the drivers and wont connect? Any idea's on this ? Has anyone had this problem?

i would like to thank everyone here for your help without you i couldnt ever of done this.

Thanks alot ! I now have CWM :)

Update: 1/28/2011

Fixed USB not connecting to computer : What i did was turn off USB Debuggin and installed the drivers using zadig. My tab will now mount and i can connect with pc using via USB . For some reason when i turn USB debuggin on i cant mount my tab ... (computer wont see anything)

Also i was having problems when i would turned my tab off (power down) the icons that i put on my home screen would no longer be their after powering back up. it wouldnt uninstall the app just removed the icon from the home screen.

FIXED icons: it seems that if the app is moved to the SD card and u move that app icon onto the home screen and power down. After you power back up your icons on the home screen will be gone. So i just used titanium backup pro to move all apps to internal memory. Now the icons on the home screen are still their after powering down. And back up . Seems for some reason it doesnt like apps installed on the SD.

Also when my tab is turned off and i plug in to charge the tab. The icon is not working . However i heard that it will still charge the tab. But the icon just isnt working .

These are the only problems i had after running bootstapper from the market. I hope this helps some of you out if your having these issues. Ill update more later after i do more testing thanks im going to try to do a restore today using CWM. we will see how it goes .

Update: Did a backup and restore and it worked with no problems ! :)

Samsung keyboard doesn't work

I've just installed the Euro Tab Bootstrap from the Market and run the Bootstrap recovery successfully.

One problem I found so far: the samsung keyboard doesn't work. Whatever I type in it only type in the word null. But Swype works. Strange, isn't it?

Could somebody advise me what to do? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bluemonde:
Good...

You mentioned you have Rom manager install already.

which step did u follow?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] blackbeltrk:
What do you mean what step did i follow? I just downloaded rom manager and pressed flash. then picked what model i had .
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shoman24v:
bam! -emeril
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bast525:
Ok so, this whole thing has gone kinda sour for me... at this point all I want is to restore the Nandroid that got created automatically before the conversion to EXT4 started. But when I try to restore it from CWM it stops partway through restoring /data/ and then when I boot the device, all my settings are gone.

Any good way to get this restored and go 100% back to where it was before I started with this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dansus72:
Ive already converted to ext4 and i was hoping do a CWM backup without having to wipe the device, using the cwm 3.xx backup rom function i get error- 'E:Cant Mount /dev/blockst19'.

Is there a way of flashing recovery image without wiping the device?

.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BluePlanetMan:
Tested the Euro Beta CWM on my Rogers (Canada) GT-P1000. Spent the better part of a day going from JM6 to almost a brick as I could not get CWM to load or work properly at all.

Here is what ended up working for me...

Running Windows 7:

***MUST HAVE AN SDCARD IN YOUR SDCARD SLOT***

I put a small 4gb card in the slot. Apparently, CWM on reboot will try to make a backup and restore, without an SDCARD in place, it will FAIL MOUNT /SYSTEM and fail a bunch of other things.

Flashed JHA.Tar using Odin 1.7 and PIT P1_20100909.PIT

Then Flashed Roto_JMA.Tar

Then Flashed international_zImage using heimdall command line (as per previous posts here in this thread somewhere...)

So far, all is working fine, speedy and good as gold... Nandroid here I come...

Thanks Koush. Even though the auto donate version did not do it for me keep the change :) you deserve it and more for the great work.

Hi, on saturday i've taken my Gtab eur p-1000, on the evening i've used Kies to update fw but it says that my jk5 is last version... i've rooted with superoneclick since z4 didn't worked for me, then dowloaded rom manger and i've wrong pressed galaxy tab ATT, i wanted to cry, but i donno why now i have a recovery 2.5.1.8 and it works at least i've tried a backup and is ok. My exp is Noob with samsung good with Desire.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] krukbee:
:confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
So from what you're saying everything is working fine but you're on recovery 2.5.1.8? I guess you could just flash the kernel in the OP of this thread and you'll still be fine :). Make your you test recovery as well as backup though!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] krukbee:
:-) Hem.. yes it seems everything is k, i've made a nandroid and it works but as i say i'm on 2.5.1.8 and the big mistery in that is that i've choosed Att. it works, i've to install kernell? Very very noob super noob question: now that i've recovery what should i do with that, i mean apart nand, roms or kernel still have to be intalled with odin?

no brain no pain -)))
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] milomak:
I have a Euro Tab and I installed Clockwork though the Market option. Followed all the instructions and I am still running the stock ROM that came with it. I've also installed ROM Manager. Is it now a simple case of downloading a relevant ROM and installing it via ROM Manager?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Matt85m:
Used market option on Euro tab, all worked well - however now on boot I have graphical corruption on the first boot screen

It all works normally, just flickers a little on the first screen - just me?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] shmigao:
yes, known issue. seems to cause no further problems though
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] ekoandrew:
Just Wana say Thanks!!

AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME, Works!! dont worry about donation, bought ROM manager for all my devices.

Just need to Figure out, what Custom ROM to Install on my Verizon Tab...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] tru2malice:
stupid post just angry when wouldn't respond to emails
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dansus72:
Did a backup in recover, tried to restore it to check its working and it goes to a blank screen with no restore happening.

Have i missed something? Whats the normal behaviour when restoring?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] paulshields:
My experience of restoring using this ROM was pain. Maybe it's fixed since then, but I don't want to try. Check out paulorbrian/modaco's kernel for a working CWM.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xoreactionzox:
Lol I wish I knew man I just got my sprint tab the other day thinking it could be fully rooted and be able to flash roms. But I have read ever forum and nothing about the SPRINT SPRINT SPRIT SPRINT TAB DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ON WHEN WE CAN GET A RECOVERY
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jkurl:
That is the reason I dumped the sprint tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cruiserbax:
same boat as you guys, still have 30 days though.... I saw one guy earlier say he used the VZW method and it worked on his sprint...... also I saw another one where it could flash zips but no backup/restore. Really all I want to do is flash a zip that allows the color calibrator app to work so I can render in red for Astronomy, worked great on my Captivate.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] dansus72:
ROM?

Im using Pauls kernel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jammysunny:
Hi @All,

Where I can download this Image-File? It links me to a T-Mobile-Page......

And, Is This working really right on German Tabs? I installed Rommanager, and wanted to install CWM, but there is only a list of the three nongerman Tabs:(

Need a liitle Help, thx;)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] bast525:
Ok maybe this is already a well known fact or what I dunno but it seemed obvious to me so I tried it and it worked perfectly...

you can easily use Heimdall to flash the verizon_zImage from the original post, then boot into recovery and CWM will start up and do it's thing. You don't have to do all that adb stuff with flash_image and verizon_zImage.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cruiserbax:
I would just like to say that the vzw version worked fine on my Sprint Tab. after clicking reboot into recovery it failed the backup and left me in clockwork so I did a factory reset then rebooted and it hung at samsung logo then I rebooted it again sending it into recovery, cwm loaded up as default recovery and it started backup again and this time finished fine and converted to ext4 then booted back to froyo.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xoreactionzox:
what method did you use the manual enter the command lines or did you buy the verion tab bootstrap app because download links are broke for the manual
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xoreactionzox:
Links are dead can you update them please
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] idumych:
This is HUGE news! Would you mind typing up some step by step directions how you accomplished this?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jkurl:
wow a factory reset and rebooting did the job. That is huge for the sprint folks. someone please repost the files as the link does not work anymore. also can someone repost the t-mobile files as well.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xoreactionzox:
I am waiting to try this as I cant get the downloads bc its down but once they fix it ill try and let you know if it worked the same on my aprint tab as I dont really care bc hopefuly sprint drops a new tab and the sho www.today
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jkurl:
I am trying to get the tmob one as well to give it a test on mine w/ another kernel.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] xoreactionzox:
Ok well I dont know what to do this person needs to upload new links I would try the bootstrap but dont have a credit card and appplanet dont have it
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] cruiserbax:
I will post step by step but it will be later tonight (Hawaii time) because I am at work and have to study for the Staff Sergeant board when I get home. Anyway I will do a short video and post a dropbox link for a while. I am still playing with cwm to see if it has any other bugs beside the bugs already stated in this thread. Also i may go back to stock so I can video the whole process. Last, anyone with a sprint tab who ALREADY has broken gps who is willing to test some modem dumps I am working on please PM me! Remember someone with already borked gps!
