Clockwork flashes with this - http://android.modac...ung-galaxy-tab/

Thanks for the quick reply Paul. This is turning into a fun adventure, but I cannot figure all this out. I was hoping it is download and install, but since I haven't used Odin before, do you have a guide (link) handy I can follow with step by step guides? I have used ADB and Fastboot, so I am not a noob, but I feel like a total noob now that Odin is here...thanks

Hi,
I just followed this guy's instructions (think someone posted it earlier) and had it rooted and flashed within an hour of delivery from Amazon:

The Odin bit had me worried but it's straightforward if you follow the instructions to the letter.

Thanks I got it. The issue was getting the Tab into "Download" mode. After that, it flashed fine BUT Now I am stuck at the Galaxy Tab screen...

EDIT: So after the install, it took me to the T-Mobile screen and it was just stuck on that screen. I didn't see any errors with the install and since it was 4AM PST (and after a flash it takes w hile to boot) I just left device on and went to sleep. This morning I woke up and the device was off, I figured it ran out of battery last night. So I plugged the device in and nothing happens. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes and finally the charging indicator came on. Although the charging indicator is on, it is not charging, at least it doesn't seem like it is. Any suggestions?

Thank you SO much! got it....if anyone has the same issue, get your phone into download mode (use fix link if 3 button doesn't work) then use Cowie's link

EDIT: Do not do, I am having issues now...

Great Rom!.  It really makes the Galaxy Tab run better.  I was just curious if I need to update the modem on it for the phone application to work.  I have a T Mobile Galaxy Tab.  The phone app will launch but when I try and make a call it tries to start dialing and just goes to call ended.  If anyone knows how to fix this let me know.

@paul

yesterday i received the car kit, and when i plug it in, a wheel symbol appears in the notification bar, but i cant find the car home app.
(and it doesn't autostart like on my desire or nexus s)

I was trying to flash Clockwork Recoverylast night, but the links were down the files I needed. So I went to Modaco's site and there is a conversion file to EXT 4 which included Clockwork Recovery. I flashed it using Odin with no problems, and I even saw the Orange recovery screen prior to the phone rebooting. So it looked as if everything worked fine. At this point, it was 4 AM so after the flash it said to be patient and it would take a long time. So I just went to sleep. I woke up this morning to a dead Tab. I figured I would plug it in because maybe the battery ran out.

Plugging it in had no signs of life, so I left it on the charger for a while and eventually I saw the battery and the circular lines that rotate when the battery is charging. The lines however, were not rotating. Basically a "frozen" charge screen. I thought I would leave it on just in case if it was charging and no charge what so ever.

I cannot get into download mode, or recovery. I have also tried plugging in the device and Odin does not recognize it. Can anyone help? thanks

I rooted my tab with z4root, and installed rom manager, and flashed recovery using it yesterday. I got into clockwork mod recovery using rom manager's "reboot into recovery" option successfully. Yesterday i wanted to flash this rom, so i connected my tab via usb, and issued the "reboot recovery" command using adb.  I got into a "android system recovery - Samsung recovery utils" screen, which looks like the one on my htc desire (with no recovery flashed) where i need to choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" to get into recovery. But on my tab, no matter what i select (tryed reboot system, and apply update.zip) i get into a screen with a big white triangle, and a "!". I turn it off, and turn it on, it goes into this recovery screen again. I can't get into download mode either, because no matter what i press, (vol down and power or vol up and power) i get into this recovery.
what can i do now? any ideas ? I'm not a complete newbie, i flashed my desire 1000times but galaxy tab is new for me.


EDIT: i managed to get into download mode, don't ask me how, i was just trying and trying... So now i started to flash the modaco kernel, to flash the recovery, and it is currently doing the backup before converting to ext4. I hope it will succeed ........     :crossing fingers:

Should be fine for you now. You have to try quite hard (or be very silly!) to completely brick it.
Takes a while, as the instructions say, to complete the ext4 conversion and mine would not boot into the standard ROM after flashing the new kernel with clockwork. This was not a problem as I booted into clockwork and flashed the MoDaCo ROM straight away and it all worked. Restored from Titanium and back to normal with a faster file system and a nice new kernel and ROM.

Thanks Paul.

Also - because I like to be safe - after I have made a nandroid backup I always run the MD5 sum to check that all is well and then create a repair set of par files using quick par. I then move a copy off the SD card and onto my PC, then you have a repairable copy of your nice new ROM kept far away from where it could be wiped.

Is it Just me being a bit too safe or worthwhile?

Forgot to write yesterday, that the flash succeeded.  \o/   I'm so happy finally   I was scared to s*** for an hour, but now everything is fine!

Thanks for the great ROM Paul!

Hello,

I subscribed to access online kitchen but cant seem to install the rom. I purchased rom manager and "installed" the clockwork recovery but cant seem to boot into it. every time i boot into recovery it takes me to samsungs recovery. once there it states the roms signature is not verified. im sure its because im not in the clockwork recovery.   not good with odin, so can i flash the clockwork recovery via rom manager? if so how do i boot into it?  again only able to boot into ssamsungs recovery

thanks or any help, i feel this is the only step missing (clockwork recovery) before i can use this awesome rom.


thanks

Hi! I had the same problem, and i solved it by flashing paul's kernel, which flashed the recovery also. Since then, i can enter clockworkmod recovery without any problems. I don't know why rom manager didn't flash it, or what it did. because when i rebooted into recovery from rom manager's menu, i got into it. But when i issued a reboot recovery in adb, i got stuck in the samsung recovery (don't try that ), i couldn't even boot the tab... strange thing...

EDIT: flash modaco custom kernel r3 via ODIN. i forgot to mention ODIN

Bought my Euro Tab, booted it one to confirm it worked and had charged the battery, then installed CWM and the r1 MoDaCo ROM. Booted and runs fine. I have had a few issues with my BT headset, but I've not investigated further yet.

Everything else I've tried on the Tab works fine, including camera.

Exellent work, thanks for the effort Paul!
