How to flash recovery.img? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to flash recovery.img posted by Cyanogen on G+. I can find no instructions to fastboot. Does fastboot at all works on Galaxy Tab 10.1? If yes how?
Thanks.

don't take offense to this, but I think if you're asking questions like this about a pre-alpha, you might just want to hold off. Or just use on of the Kangs and flash with CWM.

I installed CM9 ([ROM][GT-P7500] CM9 KANG (ICS Preview) ) on my Galaxy Tab P7500 just yesterday evening, and so far I'm REALLY impressed by the performance and functionality.
I had some problems during the process and I thought I could share my experiences with you and give a short briefing on how to flash this stuff.
SHORT REVIEW
The ROM is superb. Even though it's half way there with some unimplemented things, the speed of the browser, the font rendering and overall look&feel make it impossible to return to honeycomb.
TESTED WORKING
1) OS in general
2) 3G, WIFI
KNOWN NOT TO WORK
1) Camera does not start
2) Some Trebuchet(CM9 launcher) menus in the settings not yet implemented
3) Screen rotation animations start with a blank screen
WHAT I DID
I started with rooted 3.2 Stock ROM and a battery 75% charged. I don't think rooting the tab beforehand is necessary, as you're going to overwrite the bootloader with CWM anyway.
1) I used Odin 1.85 and flashed Clockwork Recover Mod from Droidbasement, they even have the Stock IO recovery available there too!
- You need to power down the tablet, power it back up and hold both power and volume down buttons when the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1" logo comes visible
- Press volume up button to choose "Download mode"
- Start Odin on your computer, and select the Clockwork mod recovery file in the "bootloader" field
- Connect the tablet using the USB cable, Odin should recognize the device
- Press "Start" to begin the download
2) I transferred the four files listed in mabalito's thread to my tablets storage root folder
3) I booted the tablet to recovery mode
- (Power down, power up)
- Press volume down and power simultaneously when "galaxy tab 10.1" is visible
- Select recovery mode by first pressing power down, the pressing power up
- Select Wipe dalvik cache from advanced menu
- Select factory data wipe from the main menu
- Select apply update from sdcard
- Select apply update from .zip, repeat this step for files 1) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-020712-maba, 2) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-012912-maba-kernel-modules 3) Gapps 4) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-maba-voicesearch-fix
4) Reboot the tablet, you should see the CM9/ICS bootscreen (it hung quite long there for me for some reason, and I got a bit worried, 15mins waiting just did the trick)
5) Enjoy! The ROM is awesome!

Guys thanks for your responses but do pay attention to the question. No offence but don't hand me oranges when I ask for apples.

not sure why people aren't giving you a direct answer but here:
you don't need the recovery.img for that to work...i just tried it.
all you need to do is to go into the update.script in the zip file, and remove the line that says "get assert" or something like that with notepad...save....put back in the zip file (you may need to first unzip it for it to work....then re-zip it again.)
hope this is apples for you!

Thanks, their are no differences compared to Kangs. Are their? Will give it a try later when I get bored. I just flashed Roman's b24.

[HOW-TO] put a custom rom on your slide!!!

​
There's the video, guys.. have fun and be careful!
written instructions are as follows:
OK! so you've decided to take on the menial task of installing a custom rom, to make your mytouch... well for lack of a better term, YOURS! If you've had a G1 or a Mytouch 3g in the past, as I have, then the process is much the same..
Step 1
Download your rom from the website to your computer *durrrrrr* also make sure your device is in normal operating mode, and also download the update.zip for clockwork recovery if you dont already have it from HERE
Step 2
Copy the rom and update.zip for clockwork from your computer to your phone's SD card root directory, also known as /sdcard
Step 3
Power off phone
Step 4
Power onto Fastboot mode with Volume Down button and Power
Step 5
Get into recovery mode by pressing volume down once fastboot loads, and then power to select
Step 6
Once in recovery basic mode, where you see the triangle with red exclamation, hold volume up and press power again
Step 7
While in recovery mode, hit volume down to get to apply update.zip which will put you in clockwork recovery as long as the update.zip for clockwork recovery is on your sd card
Step 8
After applying your update.zip, you're going to scroll down to install zip from sd card using volume down button and then power to select
Step 9
Once again, go to install zip from sdcard and press power
Step 10
Select your zip in the menu, then press power
Step 11
Wait for zip to install and hope to hell the zip is signed correctly and not damaged
Step 12
After zip installs, back out to main menu and reboot phone!
Step 13
Wait for Rom to load 100%.. WATCH YOUR LOGCAT TO VERIFY NO BOOTLOOPS!!!
Done!!​
If you download "QuickBoot" from the market you can boot directly to "Recovery" bypassing the bootloader.
Re: [how-to] put a custom rom on your slide!!!
I'm assuming this is a tutorial for future rom releases, correct?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk
well there's already 2 out at this time, with slideroot2 and the legend rom.. there will be tons more, i'm sure.. so yeah, this is a generalized install procedure for such things
I like the addition of the ADB & logcat steps! Nice touch, man...
heh thanks i want users to be able to see what they did and begin to learn how to fix future mistakes lol
I love the legend ROM but I needed the keyboard one night so I switched to slidemeroot2.
Any chance for Keyboard lights coming?
Also, couldn't load titanium backup in the legend. Any suggestions there?
to get titanium to load right, you have to install a different superuser.apk than the one that's stock. i dunno why exactly. also, legend is a BETA so it'll be updated soon by eugene, it is by no means a final version
Thank you. It is a pretty sweet beta.
Hate to state the obvious, but you should mention that this requires your MT3G Slide to be rooted... you know peeps will come out the wood works asking "why cant I do this!"
ummmm fermunky, why not watch video at 0:15 through 0:25?

Does this mean that I don't have to root first to flash roms? Can i boot to recovery and flash to eugene's already rooted rom?
once you downgrade to the eng build, you can flash any rom for the slide... you have to root and then flash that downgrade though before you can do anything to it
When will a permanent recovery flash come available? Only a minor inconvenience since it only is two extra steps using the stock recovery... well three including copying the update.zip over.
whenever the spl comes, is when it comes i dont have a date/time for ya, devs are working on it... i know one in particular made a bit of progress yesterday, so we'll see what happens when it happens
Ok, I tried to install the SlideM ROM and and ran into an issue I'm not really sure how to fix.
I followed your video and instructions to the letter but on reboot the phone stopped at the first T-Mobile flash screen and froze. Using adb devices I come up with this;
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT069PS00585 offline
HT069PS00585 device
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb reboot
error: more than one device and emulator
...and the phone is locked onto that first t-mobile screen. I tried adb reboot, adb reboot-bootloader and still get nothing, even tried a hard reboot by pulling the battery to get to recovery mode and re-installed starting from step 1.....really hoping I didn't brick it. Any thoughts on why it happened or how I can go about fixing it?
***UPDATE*** went back and tried a method found in another thread, i.e., wiped data using Android recovery mode instead of Clockwork recovery, then re-installed SlideM. Worked perfectly on the first try

[HOWTO][RECOVERY][VIDEO] Booting Into Recovery

There seems to be a constant flow of questions about booting into recovery, so I thought I would take a video of what works for me.
In stock form this will get you to the recovery that allows you to wipe your user data. If you have an alternative recovery installed, ClockWorkMod as an example, this will get you booted into it.
UPDATED - we don't need to hold the VOL+ button.
1. Power Off the Device
2. Hold N and Power
3. After the screen has been on for about 5 seconds, release the buttons.
I hope this helps!
Nice job, BertoJG!
Come on, show us how to completely hose your OS, and boot into recovery, please! Thanks for your work on CWM!

Thanks! People seem to find enough creative ways of hosing their OS, no need for me to demonstrate.. That is why I worked on CWM as I though it was important and could "save" people from themselves, me included..

I'm going to try and redo my script because there is no reason why it shouldn't work but I had a hard time getting it to work I'm going to test this method.

Help Please: how to undo ClockWorkMod Recovery to use original stock Recovery?

Please pardon the cross post but anxious to find a reply.
I have installed the ClockWorkMod (& obviously its recovery menu).
The big question...
How to restore back to the original B&N Factory "recovery" program (i.e., undo installation of CW recovery system)?
I do not have a backup pre-CW; is there an image or RUU file somewhere, or is there a hidden backup copy of the original recovery to restore?
just curious this is for if you cant boot your nook currect due to a bad flash ?
others wis you could acces the recovery in the rom manager menu ?
I can boot into the CW recovery menu and select full recovery, but the result is not a virgin Nook... it is still rooted, has such app installed, etc. And most importantly, still has CW recovery mode installed and active as the recovery menu (ie whenever you do a hard reset boot) .
This is not ideal for a warranty inquiry situation when needed.
Thanks!

CWM doesn't let you do a full stock restore. The restore it gives you also needs to supplemented with about 10 steps or so in the terminal to get the stock recovery back.
Anyone whose rooting should be comfortable at the terminal, but we've known that CWM doesnt give a full backup for many days now and I guess its not a priority to get it fully operable, unless I'm mistaken...this is my first time back on the board in a while.

I must be missing some special thing - I can't boot into recovery. ROM Manager is/was able to get there, but booting with the "N" and the power key never puts me into recovery. Ideas?

You need to hold them both until you see CWR. Don't let go.. Make sure Rom manager has successfully flashed CWR (at the top of the screen in Rom manager).
I think it's a bit hard to determine how long you need to hold Power + n. In my experience very frequently my NC just shuts down when I hold too long. I have modified u-boot to use a different key combo (hold both Vol+ and Vol-) to boot into recovery. It's much easier now. If there is any interest, I can post my u-boot.bin.
Now I think of it, I should be able to modify u-boot to boot into either CWR or stock recovery base on different key combos. Would there be any interest?

[Q] help a noob out!!

i have a fascinate that ive had for a while. ive managed to root it(took 4ever to find out how) but im rooted with everything else stock. no custom rom kernel or anything(i know im rooted cuz i can use wireless tether with superuser) HOWEVER, ive been reading on this cyanogen mod 7 and would really like to put this on my phone and get rid of touchwiz once and for all, and don't suggest adw it lags my phone down. can somebody plz give me a tutorial on how to download and flash whatever that is. i can't handle the sluggishness of tw anymore. btw i have odin but really don't know what to do with it. oh and sorry if this is already posted but ive searched and don't really feel like going through every thread in existence. please help me!!
Well before I would go and post a tutorial about this we need to address one thing.

You understand that the default launcher in Cyanogenmod7 (CM7) is ADW correct? I just would hate for you to go through the touch n go process of flashing CM7 and end up hating it because of this
Well... you can switch away from ADW. For instance, I switched to the GO launcher, and it ran like a dream.
Alright, here's a n00b guide.
0)Download these files to you SD card: http://www.mediafire.com/?dfjjclddzq6fl5q, http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip
1) Flash this in Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=657960&d=1310959789
2) Boot into recovery by turning off the phone/pulling battery and holding volume up, volume down and power at the same time
3) Select wipe cache, then select wipe data
4) Select install zip from sd card or something like that and flash CM7 (The file you downloaded from mediafire above)
5)Once phone finishes installing, hit reboot phone or if your phone is off turn it back on
6) Hold down power button, select reboot, select recovery
7) From here, select install zip from sd card again, and install the gapps from the second link.
8) Reboot, and enjoy. If you don't like adw, install GO launcher from the market
more noob please! how do i flash a file on odin? and what the hell is gapps and what do i do with it?

Install this on your computer: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7946i8tdbe0yv50
Open Odin, remove your phone's battery, hold the "volume down" button on your phone while plugging it into your computer and a little android with a shovel should come up.
On your computer, download the file from step 1. In odin, click the PDA button (NOT THE PHONE BUTTON) and select that downloaded file. Hit start or flash or whatever the button like that says. It will take a while. Once done, you will have cwm, so do step 2.
Once in CWN, use the volume buttons to go up and down and use the power button as the "enter button". Follow the rest of the steps from there.
Also, GAPPS is just the technical name for that second file you downloaded. Install it through CWM exactly as the steps say.

Gapps...is abbreviated for google apps. Ie. Google talk, gmail, google voice, google chrome to phone, ect...this is a zip file package that contains a lot of googles apps that are not pre packaged into the rom
Odin is a software program for pc to push a modified recovery program or complete stock rom files, or patches and some other goodies and this recovery abbreviated cwm(clock work mod ) is the program you use to install custom roms and kernels. All odin file formats will end in .tar while files for flashing via recovery end in .zip

Just to let you know, you should probably read up on some more of the threads in the general and development section after you fix your phone before trying this again. You really need to know what you're doing or you'll break your phone for real next time.

While skafan is right, you probably won't completely bork your device but you can get in deep real quick if you screw up anything major...like flashing a rom not for the fascinate. Go to the link he posted and do it exactly to return to complete stock and then read read read before flashing again, but it is very hard to completely destroy our phones besides physically smashing it. His warning is of just cause....that said..everything I learned(and I'm sure some will agree with me) for the most part is out of necessity..meaning I started tinkering with my phone and learned what I had to as I made mistakes and needed to know how to get out of a boot loop or force closes. There were even a few times where I thought I just turned my fassy into an expensive paper weight! You'll get there and, if nothing else borking builds character!

[Q] Possible Brick on my Prime?

Not so recently, I messed up my Transformer Prime. I was trying to flash a new ROM so I decided to clean all the partitions, memory card, etc. Long story short, I'm nearly sure I deleted the ROM and the recovery... When I turn it on, It won't boot past the Eee Pad splash screen, and if I turn it on holding the volume down button and power button, the white text on the splash screen doesn't go past "Booting recovery kernel image". Is there any way I can fix this? I loved my Prime and I really want to fix it from it's current paper-weight position.

Download the universal naked drivers in the dev thread and see if you can fastboot to it... then you will have to flash the recovery (through fastboot) then adb and push the rom to it....then install rom through recovery... suggest you use twrp just make sure you use an older version if you haven't used nvflash.... think you need 2.1....

Ace 2 baseband "XXXX" repair

Hi guys! This thread is for those who want to fix the baseband "XXXX" problem on their Ace 2. You can check your baseband number in "Settings"->"About phone"
If you think it's gonna take too much to do it, just feel free to look for another way to fix your problem, but the way I did it, I didn't have any problems, so it's your decision whether to do it or not.
So let's start:
Charge your battery before this. Use TriangleAway to reset the flashcounter, in case it's increased.
PART 1 (downgrade to GB) (Optional- you could skip to Part 2, but if the problem is still there, then it means the "modemfs" file will work only with this version of GB I uploaded bellow):
1. You have to downgrade to GingerBread, so download this: I8160XXLK6 and extract it.
2. Download Odin: Odin3_v1.83.zip Install your drivers as well, if you don't have them.
3. Turn on USB Debugging mode from "Developer options"
4. Enter "download mode" by long pressing vol down + home + power, then press volume up again when you see the warning screen.
5. Open Odin as admin
6. Connect your phone through the usb cable and wait till the ID:COM section turns yellow.
7. Click on PDA and choose "CODE_GT-I8160XXLK6_CL1211243_REV00_SEC_KEY_LK6_4G.tar.md5" from the extracted archive. For I8160P download this :CODE_GT-I8160P_I8160PXXLK2_CL1211774_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_XLK2_4G and put it at PDA after you extract it.
Click on CSC and choose "CSC_GT-I8160-MULTI-CSC-0XELF1_SEC_KEY_4G.tar.md5". Then click on PIT and choose “GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G.pit”.
“Re-Partition”, “Auto-Reboot” and “F Reset Time” options have to be selected as well. (tick re-partition if you have a 3 files stock GB; don't tick it if you have a one file stock ROM--- these are the rules)
8. Click "Start" and wait till everything is finished.
9. Configure you device, till you get to the main screen.
10. Download flashable supersu update_su.zip and copy it to the external sdcard.
11. Enter recovery mode (vol up + home + power button), and click on "apply update from sdcard" (or something similar) and choose the "update_su" file
12. Reboot and after that, download "Android terminal emulator" from Google Play Store.
PART 2 (repairing the baseband). The "modemfs.img.md5" file was extracted from a GingerBread ROM so I don't know if would work if you tried to put it on a Jelly Bean. That's why I added "Part 1" above:
13. Download this Ace2modemfs.img.md5.zip and extract it.
14. Copy the extracted file ("modemfs.img.md5") to your sdcard (internal)
15. Now open the "Android terminal emulator"
16. Type in what is between the quotes: "su". Click on Grant (Allow, or whatever)
then "dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2".
17. After that, close the terminal and reboot the phone. Go to settings-> about phone and check to see if you still have baseband "XXXX". if you don't, go to recovery mode and make a "wipe data".
After everything is finished use Samsung Kies to update to JellyBean. This way you'll be sure that you get the correct update.
With the exact same steps from above, I managed to fix my baseband. I'm not 100% that it will work for you too, but I'm 95% sure that it will. So follow the steps carefully and you'll be good.
If someone tried only PART 2 and worked on a Jelly Bean, just tell me and I'll delete the first part, which is basically a tutorial for GB downgrade.
I think that you can just install jb rom and after that from recovery the zip file.

What I said above was the method I tried and it worked. I'm sure there are other methods to do that but I haven't tried them cause this one worked for me.

hi i just got your pm i managed to fix this issue after searching for hours using the modemfs files fluffi444/djmaniac posted. id just like to add that going back to stock isn't 100% necessary. i restored a rom backup i recommend copying only the files you dont have in fluffi444 modemfs when i copied the whole modemfs file i kept getting random drops in reception i noticed a certain .cfg file didnt seem to have the correct permissions. hope this maybe useful to people with this annoying issue.
***Big thanks to fluffi444/djmaniac for providing modemfs files***
Thx for your work, dragos..
I think its good to put al this different ways together in one thread, if you don't mind.
For whom, who needs only the MODEM FS via CWM flashable zip you'll find my post on Android-Hilfe here:

I think by flashing with Odin a version of Jelly Bean 4.1.2 that wasn't for my phone. I tried to go from MG2 to MF1. I also remember that I managed somehow to format "modemfs" in recovery, so it's one of these two things.
Thanks bro.

You spamming many threads with quite confusing remarks, not really readable posts, and more...
Don't expect any help if you writing like this... I suggest that you start to post your questions more structured...
This suggestion is not only for this post - also and mainly for the bunch of post from you during the last few days.
I really tried to help you but refused, after you came up again and again with a changed situation.
Maybe its time to show you what you've done the last days:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=322856854

Hey guys i did everything as tutorial says and everything is almost ok. I have baseband name but still no signal
dragos281993 said:
Hi guys! This thread is for those who want to fix the baseband "XXXX" problem on their Ace 2. You can check your baseband number in "Settings"->"About phone"
If you think it's gonna take too much to do it, just feel free to look for another way to fix your problem, but the way I did it, I didn't have any problems, so it's your decision whether to do it or not.
So let's start:
Charge your battery before this. Use TriangleAway to reset the flashcounter, in case it's increased.
PART 1 (downgrade to GB) (Optional- you could skip to Part 2, but if the problem is still there, then it means the "modemfs" file will work only with this version of GB I uploaded bellow):
1. You have to downgrade to GingerBread, so download this: I8160XXLK6 and extract it.
2. Download Odin: Odin3_v1.83.zip Install your drivers as well, if you don't have them.
3. Turn on USB Debugging mode from "Developer options"
4. Enter "download mode" by long pressing vol down + home + power, then press volume up again when you see the warning screen.
5. Open Odin as admin
6. Connect your phone through the usb cable and wait till the ID:COM section turns yellow.
7. Click on PDA and choose "CODE_GT-I8160XXLK6_CL1211243_REV00_SEC_KEY_LK6_4G.tar.md5" from the extracted archive. For I8160P download this :CODE_GT-I8160P_I8160PXXLK2_CL1211774_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_XLK2_4G and put it at PDA after you extract it.
Click on CSC and choose "CSC_GT-I8160-MULTI-CSC-0XELF1_SEC_KEY_4G.tar.md5". Then click on PIT and choose “GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G.pit”.
“Re-Partition”, “Auto-Reboot” and “F Reset Time” options have to be selected as well. (tick re-partition if you have a 3 files stock GB; don't tick it if you have a one file stock ROM--- these are the rules)
8. Click "Start" and wait till everything is finished.
9. Configure you device, till you get to the main screen.
10. Download flashable supersu update_su.zip and copy it to the external sdcard.
11. Enter recovery mode (vol up + home + power button), and click on "apply update from sdcard" (or something similar) and choose the "update_su" file
12. Reboot and after that, download "Android terminal emulator" from Google Play Store.
PART 2 (repairing the baseband). The "modemfs.img.md5" file was extracted from a GingerBread ROM so I don't know if would work if you tried to put it on a Jelly Bean. That's why I added "Part 1" above:
