Hi All,

Hope you are well. I just flashed the CWM recovery to a locked tab using ODIN, and upon doing POWER + VOL(-) and getting into the recovery, for some reason the screen with all the menu to do wipes/install just seems to be scrolling all over the place.

When I re-flash the stock recovery back using ODIN, the screen is fine again. Tried both 4.0.0.4 and also the 3.2.0.1 versions, with not much luck.

Has anyone had a similar incident? Is there anything I can do? I wanted to try and flash my custom boot.img.

Thanks heaps in advance!!!.

Hi Folks,

Hope you are well - wasn't sure if anyone has come across this - but anyone seen the Recovery mode flickering / scrolling when flashed on a locked Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Thanks again!

Thanks yqed,

For some reason when I have CWM 4.0.0.4, and when I reboot into the recovery mode - CWM shows up - but the screen keeps on flickering / scrolling / refreshing all over the place.

I'm wondering if there is something different in my Retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI vs. the others - I bought mine from Korea (retail). Appears that I have kernel version 2.6.36.3 instead of .4 and the build is EH14.

Thanks.

I have a Korean 32Gb wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1, and my CWM Recovery also starts having a seizure when I boot into it. It still seems to be working fine, but it is nearly impossible to use.

I would really like to know what causes this issue.

Thanks limenless,

Anyone seen this before? Anyone know if CWM 5 might potentially fix this - seens some thread with regards to this.

I was going to try and wipe the dalvik cache, and others, but seeing the screen is almost impossible to use in recovery mode, having a bit of difficulty there.

Any advice is much appreciated - if you need dumps and others, happy to provide - as long as I get some instructions... :D

Thanks.

Did you try CMW 5? Preshoot has a tutorial in the development section, its pretty simple just follow it and I think and hope that your issue would be solved! :confused:

Why dont you try taking a picture/screenshot of it, best would be using ddms.bat in the android development kit to take screenshot's , or just a picture would do great. Hard to guess what's going on, when someone mentioned seizure, I pictured Dr.House :p

Just link it here,
HTML:
[media=youtube] bracket [/media]

Where "bracket" is the ID of your video, those letters at the end. EG: FL7yD-0pqZg

Have you tried Overcome's CWM? I'm using that and it's perfectly fine. PS it's the ver 5 release.

PS; For being an epic House fan :D I shall see to it that you get it worked out :)

And to top that off, an offlink to the CWM of Overcome http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv

PS: Here's your video, Embedded anyways.

In the development section for 10.1 I was just reading in a thread about a Korean ROM, Pershoot stated something about someones device not being compatible with his kernel. I don't know if either one has to do with the other but I think I read in the same thread of someone having "this problem"
Honestly don't know if anything between this thread and that thread are relevant to each other. :confused:
Just thought I'd mention it to see if it helps. sorry if it doesn't apply to anything here.

Not really a fix but

You could always just find a pre rooted rom to flash with odin, then once u have the pre rooted rom installed get rom manager and u will no longer have to worry about cwm. Plus u could then flash to whatever rom u need to using rom manager.

My method allows me to have a clear screen in CWM RECOVERY but after I flashed Galaxy Task 14 I get all blurred screen whenever my Tab is resumed from standby. I must set my screen to never turn off to prevent it flickering again.

May I ask which pre rooted ODLIN ROM do you guys recommend? If possible can you please provide the URL to it? I suspect the flickering problem has relation to the harmony between bootloader, kernel etc so I want to use the exact combination you guys are using.
