[Q]How to boot I/O Edition on 3.1 into recovery?

[ralexand]

I went through the process of rooting and installing 3.1 yesterday on my I/O edition of the Galaxy Tab. I ran into a couple of snags because:
1) I cannot boot into recovery using a button combination (see image)
2) 'adb reboot recovery' will simply turn off the device while I am on 3.1 (works on 3.0.1)

So, I eventually got it all fixed. Had my tab running the Touchwiz UX with root. Then I needed to use Busybox but did not have that installed. So, I used pershoot's package to install root, busybox, etc. Upon flashing that file, I lost root. Now I am unable to boot into recovery because I am back on a 3.1 version where adb does not work and I cannot use any apps to reboot to recovery because I lost root.

How can I get a non-rooted version of 3.1 into recovery?

Also, why can I not get fastboot to work? I have the drivers installed, and when the device is in fastboot & plugged in, I see a fastboot in my Device Manager. But fastboot devices yields no results.

In the attached images -- 0702 shows the screen I get when I use the POW + Vol Down combination -- a USB icon (taking me into fastboot) and download mode for ODIN.
0708 is just the screen showing fastboot when I select the USB icon at that screen.

You cant boot into recovery with hardware buttons on the I/O TAB 10.1

this is what i done:

= PDA SIGNED P7105.tar.zip (ODIN REQUIRED TO FLASH)

Dont worry about the P7105 .. this is for the P7510 (TYPO)

This is Android Honeycomb 3.0 ... However, you have root & su.

Once you are all booted:

1-Go to market
2-Install Clockworkmod Recovery.
3- flash clockworkmod recovery for the tab 10.1

download the update.zip (Touchwiz UX) and put it in the root of you SD card.
download su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511 and put it in the root of your sd card.

go to clockworkdmod on your tab & choose reboot into recovery option.

flash the update.zip (touchwiz ux)
flash the su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511

data/factory wipe

reboot....

you will have 3.1 Touchwiz UX & root.

That's exactly what I needed to read. Now I can stop looking for the 'fix.'

THanks!

why don't you guys grab the bootloader.tar.md5 file from stock roms, and flash them via odin! Than you can choose between odin(download) and recovery directly with keys combo. But remember not to select re-partition else your bootloader will be locked!Once in recovery, try clearing cache, data else flashing a stock rom!

I have the same problem. The first time i went through flash TW and then it just got stuck on a blank black screen. I ran the ODIN PDA flash again and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with the SAMSUNG symbol that flies through the stars. Did you get a way around this?
