In the works? Sure carrier branding is a step redded child. But at least others and myself might be more adventurous if we had backups and a stock firm

I can hope right

Finding very little info myself. Patience is virtue I guess. :)

I don't really have the extra time to devote to developing for this tablet, but if someone builds CWM for it, that might be what I need to crank out a custom kernel for it. =)

that'd be cool. I want to look more into messaging.apk, framework, and small things. been timid without cwm backups. I already made a fc cycle issue when playing with the telephony service - thank you for adb.

So, just gotta sit back and wait calmly

The main thing that is preventing me from making a CWM for your device is that I don't know the partition layout. If I had that, it wouldn't take too much work to make one. Also, getting my WIP CM port working (obviously with only partial hardware support, which is the case for the P68x0 as well) on the i815 shouldn't be too bad either. They way I've set stuff up, most changes go in a common repository that is shared by 4 devices (the P68x0 and the P62x0), which the i815 would also inherit from.

Currently I don't really have the time to work on an additional device, but if someone who is familiar with deving is interested in working on the i815, feel free to PM me.

If someone would like to open a terminal emulator and type in the following:

cat /proc/partitions

Copy and paste the output here

Beat me to it...

PLEASE develop CWM for this device. I can't believe it isn't more popular. It is perfect in every respect I can think of. I just wish I could find a decent otterbox-type case. Thanks again! I would gladly donate to the cause.

Can you grab this for me as well:

cat /proc/mounts

Usually the partitions command brings up an alias but I guess not on the gtab. This last one should tell me that partitions.

Thank you VERY MUCH! I can also get you a dump from Mobile Odin Pro if that would help?

I have a terminal emulator installed and both rooted and supersu. ES File Manager as well. Ask away!!!

You guys actually have the same partitions as the 6800. If there is a recovery out there for odin that does not include a kernel (recovery.bin) the 6800 should work just fine for you. If there isn't one out there that is just the recovery I will see if I can get something done today or tomorrow for you.

The only thing is you would have to boot into recovery right away after flashing and I can create a zip for you to flash that would remove system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Otherwise it will pull the stock recovery from the boot.img and override clockworkmod.

The other option would be to include recovery with a kernel that you can flash with odin.

    Many thanks, im going for it now. It appears there is no system/etc/install-recovery.sh, it may exist in another location or reinstalls the default recovery.img from somewhere else. I'm going to look around for it although this is entirely new to me.


    The P6800 CWM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470896 works, thanks to ezynow for his port to the P6800. No automatic reinstalls of the original recovery on bootup/shutdown. I haven't tested backups/restores/cache wipes, will post after I try each and report.


    It appears backups are getting placed on the internal memory sdcard for the default backup option.

    Backup to internal SDcard error, when using internal backup:
    E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)Couldn't open directory. No files found


    Mounting as USB storage and restore from sdcard produces the same errors. Going to see what I can find/figure out. And now the internal sdcard is working and going to the actual microsd card. So what triggered it?


    Update: /Everything seems to be working with the p6800 cwm on the vzw 7.7

    That's what I was interpreting from the CM9 threads and references to installing different versions of CWM. Thanks for the heads up.

    After a bit of searching I think I figured out why the SCH-i815 CWM will not stick on Stock ROMS after the FD01 update.

    The FD01 update places the file "recovery-from.boot.p" in the /system folder which overwrites CWM upon boot. To stop this from occurring, you will need a root enabled file explorer and rename the "recovery-from.boot.p" file to "recovery-from.boot.p.bak" or, alternatively, you can delete the "recovery-from.boot.p" file.

    CWM should stick after that. I'll test it out and report back.

    [EDIT] Success! make sure to rename the "recovery-from.boot.p" file or else CWM will not be persistent!
