[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for Galaxy Tab - BETA
- Thread starter Koush
- Start date
before i start any of the process is it possible to create these files by backing up my current stock tab?
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.
Now that we have a recovery, and Koush has done a custom kernel, is there anyone at all working on an OC Kernel?
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.
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).
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).

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..)?

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).

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.

Texasice was referring to the Sprint-flavored Tab, using the Verizon bits.
I have not been able to repro. Fails for me, which I think is expected.
Has anyone tried the euro version on an aus tab? If so how much luck has been had with it.

If you don't know what you are doing, don't use this.
Restoring to factory after using this process (you need using stock images):
heimdall flash --kernel stockzImage --recovery stockzImage --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs
TMobile Tab Users:
How it works: The recovery is packaged as an update.zip that you run from a modified STOCK recovery. The update.zip unpacks Clockwork Recovery onto the ramdisk and restarts recovery. When you reboot, it reverts back to the original stock recovery. So, you will need to keep the recovery on the root of your SD card as an update.zip, and apply the zip every time you want to start Clockwork. However, ROM Manager handles this all pretty seamlessly for you.

Download heimdall and then read the "README" file for setting up the drivers. The drivers worked fine for me in win7 x64.
Once the usb drivers are setup for heimdall, boot your galaxy tab into download mode by holding Vol-down + power button.
Make sure your tab is connected and run the following command using koush's clockwork kernal/recovery image found here: (sorry can't post links)
h**p://koush.droid.co//samsung/tab/verizon_zImage
c:\galaxytab\heimdall\heimdall flash --kernel verizon_zImage --recovery verizon_zImage
You should now be able to get into clockworkmod recovery by holding Vol-up + power button.
Once in recovery, restore your before-ext4 backup. You should be back to where you were before the bootstrapper but you now have clockworkmod.
Good luck3I believe I may have found the cause of several bugs; I am using the busybox sh link rather than the normal Android sh. This may be causing a lot of problems with scripts executing, and thus possibly various initializations of the hardware. I'll put new releases out for Vzw and Euro tonight.3
not sure whether the OP answers what the poster is asking. He's asking whether he can flash the Tmob firmware (= making his device a Tmob device), then apply CM recovery, since Tmob is supported. He's not asking whether EU tab is supported (which we all know by now, it is not).
anyway, i do not like the aggressiveness in this thread. if someone would add koush/clockworkmod in twitter we all would know that he didn't even have a tab, volunteered to create a cm recovery for us anyway, and slowly the ball starts rolling.
we on the other hand are *****ing and biting like little girls that didn't get the right Barbie doll - surely a great incentive for developers joining this forum and starting developing recovery/ROMs at the risk of being attacked or users *****ing with and against each other
i have no say here, but let me just say this: CHILL!
