I flashed it permanently and all is working as it was. May I now please have this "Balls of steel badge"?
Still I dont know of a way to enter the recovery though. I tried 'adb reboot recovery' but that only powers off the device, as it did before I flashed it. Also no key combination get me into the recovery menu. Ideas?
EDIT: The command 'adb reboot recovery' does work when I use Remote ADB and thus not with the USB cable. When I use the USB cable it powers off and shows me the battery being charged. It seems the charging screen is taking over when you reboot through ABD.
I used Rom Manager to boot into recovery, too.
But now it always boot into there.. Somehow weird..
Was able to get out of there
It probably flashed over your boot partition. Just flash back your backup over boot from fastboot and you should be OK.
I think another "balls of steel " badge might be in order

Nah - I didn't install and boot then into recovery I just used it to boot into recovery.
My CWM should be finished as soon as we get sdcard to mount!
Before unlocking their bootloader, did anyone use any software to back up their app data?
I haven't used any non-root backup apps for a while. Do any work well? I remember MyBackup Pro used to work okay.
Just use dd
There is a thread which tells you which partition is which - or there was some discussion about it earlier in this thread
Ah, okay. Thanks.
I saw that part but was under the impression that dd was used after unlocking bootloader.
Yes, it is. You also need root.
Sorry, I should have been clearer but Im at work and in a rush.
Unlocking the bootloader and booting (not flashing) the root zip will not make any permanent changes which can't be undone (just a couple of extra files in /system). You are safe until you actually flash the recovery, then you would need the backup in order to revert to stock. I have backups of each of these which I will upload at some point.
running the fastboot command to load the skitzdroid image took me less then 2 minutes to load.
You will hear usb disconnect noise then about 15 - 20 seconds later it will load recovery.
2 minutes for temp root, or permanent??
i try to get a permanent root but it freeze on "flashing MBR to device"
I'm used to Nexus One and was under the impression that once the bootloader is unlocked, it can't be re-locked. Has anyone actually tested fastbook oem lock on this device?
I also thought that unlocking the bootloader wiped all my data, hence my initial question re backup.
The difference is just as it says, either temporary or permanent. This means with temporary that you only boot the recovery image once without actually flashing it to the device. When you flash the image to the device its permanent, which means you overwrite the current recovery and without a backup you cant go back.and... the last question.. the difference for temp root and permanent??

...for some bizarre reason does not boot to recovery. Open up a shell first, as shown above.
I tried to root my tab on ICS (4.0.4).
First I tried to use the latest droidbasement recovery, but it didn't boot. So I used the old recovery.img, then applied the skitzandroid-10-1v-root_0.2.zip
That worked and I rebootet the tab.
Now I have a Superuser App. But the problem is: it doesn't give any root permissions. No confirm dialog, nothing in superuser log.
How can I get superuser to work in ICS again?
Hi Le Dam,
I've been trying to root my Tab but had the same problem as you...
I guess this has to do with the superuser zip file from h**p://androidsu.com/superuser/.
Could you please confirm which of the files you used?
su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip
or
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Thanks
