Hi,
I got the US Version of the 10.1 32GB WiFi Only.
I already own a SGS and i am "acquainted" with the whole odin, flash, adb etc. procedure.
Now i am at a loss.
The tab will not go to recovery mode when i use "adb reboot recover", instead it just shuts down and shows the battery charge screen.
However when i press the volume keys while powering on i can choose between download and recovery and enter the recovery mode..
Unfortunately i cant access the "sd card" from there...
I "adb pushed" the "root hack.zip" to /sdcard/hack.zip and i can see the file amongst others via shell.
In Recovery mode it just shows an empty directory and the error message "E: unknown volume for path"
So how do i become root?
Any help is very much appreciated!
figured it out.
can be closed..
What was the fix?

shut off the tab, connected to pc, wait for battery animation, press power followed quickly by volume down (the left volume key) your tab starts but with two icons, download (odin) and fastboot (usb), press left volume key to choose and right volume key to confirm!
Once in Fastboot, load a recovery.img file attached to my posted address, make sure the computer detects your device as adb **** device. Now boot to recovery, commands included in the post. Than factory rest or install any ***.zip (custom recovery, overclock kernel, superuser root package etc) file from sd card.

P.S. loading clockworkmod recovery enables adb commands when booted into recovery

Tried the 2.1 superboot batch file with my 2.2 dell streak in an attempt to root it. Just stuck at the dell logo screen for 30 min. popped the battery out and entered fastboot mode.
Would like to root it and get DJ Steve's 1.9 on.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
flash Streakmod through fastboot then install 1.9.0.zip with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
got the recovery to work OK.
entered fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery ./update-1.9.0.zip
...and there it hangs. Streak just shows FASTBOOT_MODE
ok, multiple steps you need to perform in order make this happen (assuming you have SD card reader on your PC). 1. If update-1.9.0.zip is not already on your SD card, remove SD card from your Streak, insert into PC card reader and copy update-1.9.0.zip file to root. If already on your SD card skip step 1. 2. take battery out, reinsert, power up holding power and both volume buttons down till 4 option Dell menu loads Select option two with volume buttons, once highlighted push camera button at that point should have Dell logo with small triangle with yellow exclamation point next to it if you loaded Streakmod correctly. Push power button blue Steakmod menu should load; look at pictures on Streakmod thread I provided before.
If Streakmod loaded correctly select wipe cache partition using volume buttons and push camera button, once done go to advanced using volume buttons to move camera button to select. Select wipe dalvik cache push camera button, once done go back using arrow key on Streak. Select apply sdcard:update.zip push camera button once on that menu, select choose zip from sdcard, push camera button. Once on that screen navigate to update-1.9.0.zip using volume buttons, once highlighted push camera button follow on screen instructions from there.
Good luck hopefully you will be running some 1.9.0 goodness soon.
I think you are doing something wrong buddy...
OK, you know to get into fastboot pressing the camera button and power button...
Wait at least 10 seconds after pressing fastboot mode on the Streak's screen before you plug the USB cable in from the computer...
NOW, you should have a folder on your PC (hopefully in the C: root to make it easier to find with the command prompt) named Fastboot, or StreakMod or Clockwork or something of that.
Inside that folder are several other files (fastboot.exe, some .bat files, some adb shell files, etc) that are needed to carry out the functions when you have your Streak connected.
Also within that folder you will place your recovery.img file, you can pick from StreakMod or from Clockwork (I prefer StreakMod) personally.
Now that you are connected, you type for instance in the command prompt window first to get to your folder "cd c:\"here goes the name of your folder"\
Then you type the command "fastboot flash -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotation marks of course
You should then see on the screen of the Streak that it is doing something and also on your PC screen see that it is sending and writing the info to your Streak
I tried installing TWRP after turning off the bootloader. I clicked on Recovery in the Fastboot and now it's stuck in "Entering Recovery...". The phone restarts with that screen every few seconds. Holding power+volume down doesn't do anything (unless I'm not timing it right). What can I do?

I know this is late, but I just went through the same damn thing. Twrp 3.1.0.0 forces a recovery loop, install 3.0.0.2 instead.
As soon as you see the "entering recovery" screen, hold volume up and power until your phone restarts. (If it goes back to recovery, wait until it loops and do it again) as soon as your screen goes black from the hard restart, hold volume down and power to boot into your phone regularly.
After your phone boots, use the twrp app to install the previous version of twrp. (Like I said, avoid 3.1.0.0 like the plague. I've already brought this issue up with the recovery handler, hopefully it gets resolved.)

There is an alternative that I've found very useful. And have tested it out several times while attempting to in-OS factory reset. If you're stuck on the 'loading recovery' screen and it continuously reboots, perform the following steps.
1. Press the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time, and keep held for 10 seconds until the screen has gone off.
2. Once you know it's gone off, quickly switch from Volume Up to Volume Down, keep held down.
-This should let you be able to enter into the Bootloader menu. From there, you will require Minimal ADB/Fastboot installed on your computer. Opening up an administrative command prompt within the ADB folder by pressing down Shift and right clicking on the window of the folder(or in my case since Windows 10's new update no longer opens that up, instead opens PowerShell, copy and past cmd.exe from System into that folder (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE, OR DRAG AND DROP)), type in the following.
fastboot devices
-If your device shows up in this list, then you're good to go. Head over to the TWRP website and find your HTC 610 TWRP version, or do as I do and just select 2.8.4.0 and download it.
-Rename the downloaded file as "twrp.img" and drag it into the ADB/Fastboot folder in which you loaded up the cmd prompt from before.
-Next, back to the command prompt you loaded earlier (if you haven't closed it by now) and type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
-This should copy the file over to your device. After this is completed, go ahead and reboot or boot into recovery. This last option I've not attempted immediately after flashing TWRP back to the main system, but that's because I'm working with an older version of CW12.

Just holding volume up and power worked for me.After the splash screen appears continue holding volume up but let go of power and it will boot I to go.e screen as usual.I then just used the twrp app and flashed 3.0.2.0
I'm a bit stuck here, would appreciate some assistance.
I tried to root my device (UMI Plus) by yesterday using 'SP Flash tool' by flashing TWRP and then installing SuperSU. That went fine, but after booting my Google Play Services kept rebooting rendering the device unusable. In an attempt to fix this I tried a "Factory Reset" via the Android settings menu which I guess was a bad idea because it started auto booting into Recovery... At that point no matter what I did I ended up back in Recovery.. Reboot to system, factory data reset.. all rebooted the phone back into TWRP recovery.
So I thought I would just try putting the default recovery back on the device again but whenever I power off the device and connect it to my PC it boots into recovery.. The phone needs to be powered off for SP Flash Tools to work. Tried loading recovery image via fastboot but the volume rockers don't work in fastboot so I can't confirm the action.
After some digging I read online that holding down VolUp + Power can 'force' into preload mode, which seems to have some success. I can see the device boot into "Preloader mode" in device manager in Windows, but it loses connection after about 3 seconds. So I did that with my SP flash tool ready and it seems to have erased recovery mode. Oops! Now whenever I try to get into recovery it just says "No command". No combination of button pressing, button holding, button releasing or anything will change this (This is the only answer I could find on Google!). Neither fastboot or adb can see the device either. It shows up as "MTP USB device" in device manager in Windows...
Is it doomed? I can't figure out what to do next...
P.S. The full ROM is available here but in RAR format.. which seems strange to me...

I accidently flashed the lineage 16 recovery instead of lineage 17.1 recovery. I tried to install the 17.1 update through updater but my phone stuck into recovery mode. Neither I can boot into bootloader nor to android. I can''t flash anything. Power + volume down and connect the cable also not working to go into bootloader. Even bootloader option within the recovery also brings me back to recovery mode. ...adb devices command is also showing "device offline". Any help will be appreciated.
you should start from the beginning
is your bootloader still unlocked?

I can't go into fastboot mode. Is there any other way to check it?
Thank you @stukka2006 for replying me. I guess I saved my phone. So here what I did-
1. Extracted the stock firmware (Luckily I had one but can be found in the forum) and copied the dload folder to sdcard (as I was not able to access internal storage). (@stukka2006 your hint to start from the beginning)
2. Power off the phone and pressed Both volume buttons + power button simultaneously. After the vibration I left the power button while still holding both vol buttons till software update screen appears. But software update failed. So I just touched the reboot now option. The phone rebooted to fastboot mode.
3. I installed TWRP but was not able to reboot to recovery through commands and system reboot command brings me back to fastboot mode. So I again power off the device with cable connected and pressed both vol buttons. This time phone showed recovery screen (Should have worked with normal button shortcuts also, I guess) and I flashed the rom and rebooted normally.
Everything is working fine now except that I lost the data.
Happy you got all clear my friend !!!

You are quite lucky to have the stock ROM.

Yeah...who knows when you need it.
I flashed an unofficial Evolution X v6.5 Rom For my Poco F1 today,
it was working fine but then I tried to Reboot into MY Custom Recovery( OrangeFox ) using the Advance Restart Option Exist in Rom.
OrangeFox Recovery Opening Image was Showing but it didn't opened, My phone shut down and rebooted again into the Same OrangeFox Opening Image and then shut down again.
It stuck into Recovery Opening Bootloop.
I tried holding the power button to reboot into system but noting is happening, It is showing same Recovery Opening Image and then shutting down,
I tried holding the power button + Volume UP Button, Same thing was happening Recovery Opening Image and then shutting down.
Luckily when I tried holding the power button + Volume down Button, It opened the bootloader.
So I thought Something happened to the OrangeFox recovery file So I installed the TWRP Recovery with My PC.
BUT Now It showing TWRP Opening Image and then shutting down. Same Recovery Bootloop.
Something( Maybe the Rom ) preventing me from rebooting into any recovery.
I should mention that I didn't installed any new app or anything, I just flashed the rom and then finished the Google setup.
I managed to shut down the phone by holding all 3 button for about 20sec.
But it's not charging anymore, if I plug the to phone to charger it start the whole Recovery Bootloop again.
Please Let me know if you know of any possible solutions.
I managed to fix that issue, In Future if anyone else got same problem in any phone, Then Follow this,
At First Hold all three button for about 25sec to shut down your phone,
at this situation your phone won't charge, if your battery completely drained then your phone might get hard brick, so shut down it at first.
Then download a stable & trustable rom and put that in SD Card or Pendrive( in this case you will be needed an OTG to plug the perdrive into your phone )
Then download the latest TWRP or any other Recovery in your PC. You really need the latest custom Recovery( 0 - 3 Months Old ).
I should let you know, You need to install ADB & Fastboot Drivers on your PC to perform any normal rooting process on your phone, And Download "Android Platform Tools".
Open CMD in "Android Platform Tools" Folder
Connect your phone to your PC in bootloader mode by holding down Power + Volume Down Button.
Then Type in CMD - fastboot devices
To check your device is properly connected or not. If your phone is connected properly then CMD will show a random number and fastboot. If not then connect the phone properly and check the driver.
Then Type - fastboot erase userdata
It will erase all your internal and data.
Then Type - fastboot flash recovery "PUT HERE THE LATEST CUSTOM RECOVERY FULL PATH"
It will flash the custom recovery, IN above command after writing recovery give a space then write the full path or hold and drag the latest custom recovery to command prompt, it will automatically write the full path for you.
After flashing the recovery now you can open the recovery.
Now Open the custom recovery immediately by holding down Power + Volume UP Button.
Then Wipe the Old Rom and flash the new downloaded rom from SD Card or Pendrive.
AND there you go, Now you can reboot into your new system or recovery.
