I nearly developed brain fatigue trying to figure this out. I have a verizon galaxy tab which I upgraded to GB with the firmware I downloaded from oldmacnut. Then I tried to get CWM working on this. The installation goes well until when I rebooted. The system hung at the verizon logo. Nothing I did could correct this. Until I flashed back to Froyo. Apparently this works only on Froyo. Now I have CWM 3.0.0.0 on my Galaxy Tab. Heaven...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you need the EF01 kernel / cwm recovery to work with EF01 GB build. This is what I'm currently running. Rom manager doesn't acknowledge it as a valid recovery, but there are no Verizon roms there, so it doesn't matter.

Okc, OK
Over the last 2 pages or so I say that this software is broken, and that you shouldn't use it. Yet people still use it, what help do you expect me to give?

when did I suggest your help? I flashed this long before your comment and learned the hard way. I know how to use the Google's. If there was a fix..... yeah. Tried a **** ton. Like u, I check this thread and My advice is the same as yours. If u want to give some help my tab is stuck at the vzw wireless screen. When I go into recovery I get a can't mount blah blah blah. Yup, already reported in the thread numerous times. Answers? None. I wasn't reviving the thread, just informing a fellow member to beware.

Did you just revived a 2.5yr old thread to say that?

All the ROMs available for the Tab (with the exception of stock) include cwm, and most provide an Odin/heimdall flashable version. Boush released a kernel with cwm and voodoo sound for CDMA devices, and chainfire releases versions for GSM tabs. None of them have ROM manager support, and they never will. Koush won't update the links, he doesn't read this thread. The kernels with CWM that he made are gone.

The point in this post: you don't need what was available here any more. It was broken, it's gone now and good riddance too.

Hi,

My SPH-P100 (Sprint running 2.34) stopped working a few months ago because google force-updated the gservices/google play app, no it just keeps crashing.

So I want to update to 4.x or higher and it looks like you have a lot of experience with the samsung tab.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could point me to a rom that you recommend for my CDMA tab.

Thank you and keep safe and Healthy!

    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

    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.
    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.


    Euro Tab Users:

    Euro - http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/tab/international_zImage



    Installation instructions for EURO TAB:
    You do NOT need to do this if you used the Bootstrap application

    2. adb push international_zImage /sdcard/
    3. adb shell
    4. su
    5. chmod 755 /data/local/bin/flash_image

    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!
