THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE
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.

Installation instructions for TMOBILE TAB:
Download the kernel:
TMobile - http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/tab/tmobile_zImage

Installation instructions:
Flash the kernel using flash_image: http://koush.tandtgaming.com//test/flash_image (This will flash both boot and recovery)
  1. adb push flash_image /data/local/bin/flash_image
  2. adb push tmobile_zImage /sdcard/
  3. adb shell
  4. su
  5. chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image
  6. /data/local/bin/flash_image boot /sdcard/tmobile_zImage
  7. sync
  8. exit # This should take you back to your computer's console

Download ROM Manager from the Market.
Flash Recovery.
Choose the appropriate Galaxy Tab version.
Accept the Superuser prompt.
Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.



Verizon Tab Users:
Want to save your self some command line headaches and risk and donate to a developer? Then go download the Verizon Tab Recovery Bootstrap off the Market and use that instead of this guide. :)

Download the kernel:
Verizon - http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/tab/verizon_zImage


Installation instructions for VERIZON TAB:
You do NOT need to do this if you used the Bootstrap application
Flash the kernel using flash_image: http://koush.tandtgaming.com//test/flash_image (This will flash both boot and recovery)
  1. adb push flash_image /data/local/bin/flash_image
  2. adb push verizon_zImage /sdcard/
  3. adb shell
  4. su
  5. chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image
  6. /data/local/bin/flash_image boot /sdcard/verizon_zImage
  7. sync
  8. exit # This should take you back to your computer's console
  9. adb reboot recovery # Boot into recovery

It will now convert your rfs partitions to ext4.

Sprint Tab

Will there be a version for the sprint tab? or can I use the verizon version for the Sprint tab since both are CDMA?

Thanks

Nice... but I'm assuming that this won't work for Euro (P1000) Tabs atm because there's no kernel image listed above?

Koush congrats on the rom recovery first of all. I must ask since sooner or later it will be asked, what happens for the ones who have the ATT sgt and proceeded to convert to the newer euro rom flash. Are we up a creek without a paddle or will you be developing the rom recovery futher for this kind of situation. Again thanks for your help and my donation will be coming very shortly Koush!!!:rolleyes:

On VZW? I pulled that version due to bugs. I'll figure it out.

    Stuck on samsung screen after using koush bootstrapper?

    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 luck

    I 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.

    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!
