This recovery is an older port. For a source build version see this thread

UNOFFICIAL CWM 6.0.1.2 non-touch
NOTICE: I am not responsible for your device!

NOTE: This CWM was ported from VZW SGS3

I have successfully ported CWM to our device. It is NOT an official release, nor is it built from source.. I'm still working on that one. BUT, for now, we have this. This has been tested on my device. I've successfully made a backup, wiped everything, and restored. Device is still alive :)

YOU MUST BE ROOTED!

How to flash:
1. Download CWM 6.0.1.2 to the root of your SD Card -- *old thread*
2. From Terminal emulator or ADB do the following:

From ADB
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

From Terminal
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

Congratulations! You should now have a functional CWM recovery.

Once you got custom, NEVER accept an OTA!. Verizon released an OTA for the SCH-I705 that makes changes to recovery, boot, and aboot, THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK YOUR ROOT AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! DO NOT ACCEPT!

TO RETURN TO STOCK RECOVERY
Follow the same procedures above, except flash this recovery instead of the CWM recovery.
*Old thread*


Thanks to:
ruben00 - for helping me out with repacking
invisiblek - for his mkbootimg cmdline values, they worked!
Whoever built the GS3 recovery I ported.. Can't remember for the life of me.

Just got word.. That update was nothing important. Other then. It was only for wifi pop up screen.. And data usage software.. Just more bull **** for Verizon running the battery down..

Hey guys, I'm not sure if many of you know who jt is, but he's been developing on samsung devices since the fascinate. He's done great work on both the device mentioned and the samsung galaxy tab org. If he had the galaxy tab 2 and some beer, you can bet your ass he would get some work done on it.

I'll put in 20. Anyone else down for raising some money to get this dude a device?

All do respect. These tablets around 350 bucks. And there Really not that many owners on here. So the goal would never be reached. Just hang in there. Few of us development people are working on this. Should have something with in a month.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of cash to spare. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a wedding after that all just within three months for me. Great offer though!
However, do you think he'd mind lending a helping hand by giving us some advice/input?

    Yes, using titanium you can freeze SDM.

    Green icon with a phone and up arrow. Freeze or uninstall with titanium and verizon won't know what hit em.

    no. but.. what ever say Verizon in your app drawer disable it. that should fix the problem. or just delete them. with root uninstaller pro

    Will this CWM work on a wi-fi only Tab 2 7?

    No, VZW Tab 2 only. Only ever flash a recovery built for your device.
