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:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gcenefqc3khcc0c
= 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!
i tried to do this as well but have a problem with boot loop - and thoughts on how to get around this?

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?

Perhaps the most frustrating thing with a Google I/O tab is the inability to easily boot into Clockwork Mod. You either have to go in through clockwork mod and reboot into recovery (which only works if you have a fully functional root going) or you have to trick it into working.
Is there any way to make the I/O tab function like the normal retail where you can make it a boot menu option or boot it directly from fast or downloader? I am using one of the 3.1 /w Touchwiz previews and lost my root. I don't feel like going through the whole re-flash dance just to get it back. x.x
Flash the bootloader from [stock][euro][touchwiz]xxxKFC rom via odin, remember to UNSELECT repartition, than on your I/o will have recovery and download options on boot screen. Once in recovery adb push the superuser rooting tools zip file by pershoot and install it. Than install rom manager from market and clockwork mod from it!
thank you.. just what I needed.
hello every one, I have a galaxy s vibrant sgh-t959, im trying to upgrade to icecream sandwhich, but i cant get the CWM recovery to work,
my phone has
FROYO.UVKB5
T959UVKB5 FIRMWARE
AND ALTHOUGH I INSTALL CWM RECOVERY THE RECOVERY THAT COMES UP IS SAMSUNG RECOVERY E3.
I WOULD APPRECIATE THE HELP ON HOW TO INSTALL THIS, BECAUSE EVERYWHERE I LOOK THEY ASSUME CWM RECOVERY IS WORKING.
THANKS!
Hi,
You can get the Clockwork Recovery (Update.zip) and place it on the root of the internal SD.
Push the Volume-Down + Power until you see the Vibrant come up and let go of the Power but keep ahold of the Volume-Down button. This will boot you into recovery. (If you are on Froyo Bootloaders, then it is Volume Up AND Down + Power) Can be tricky, so try it a couple of times if it doesn't work the first try.
Tab down to Reinstall Packages and click it. Let it run. If it gets back to the Blue Recovery, you might have to do it again. This will install the CWR that you put on your internal SD that you downloaded earlier. The recovery will go from Blue (stock) to Green (CWR).

And also this is a thread for you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464423
Thanks goes to Woodrube for the links

Happy Flashing !!!
Actually you're on Froyo so you need to install the patch for the 3e recovery for it to be able to properly boot into CWM.
Install the patch from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Then put the update.zip in your internal storage. Boot into recovery, perform "reinstall package" twice, you will see the CWM, which is only temporal until you reboot.
Hey guys -
I'm having trouble getting CWM Recovery to work with my YP-G70. I've rooted, installed ROM Manager, wiped data and partitions, installed Odin, Used Odin to (supposedly) flash the DD_01142012.tar recovery to the device. Everything looks successful, but when booting back up ROM manager only gives me the option to go to "recovery setup" instead of the normal flash option. Even when I reboot it in recovery, it just goes to the standard android recovery screen. Any ideas on how to fix this? It may be painfully obvious, this is my first root.

Rom Manager does not work for this device ( I think ) and you should not use it. "DD_01142012.tar" is not just a recovery, it's the kernel too. They are integrated. Flash it again and hold power and vol-up during boot up to get to recovery then flash your rom...
After getting help restoring the device, I'm now looking to see if/how I can flash 4.4 kitkat on my samsung mega 6.3 i527m. I've tried to install CM11 on it but i just get confused with the download links because they're so many different folders but they're all the same sort of file (CM11 4.4). Can someone show me a real simple tutorial on how to get TWRP on my phone and then flash CM11 on it or if I can't does anyone know when 4.4 will be shipping out to my phone model? Please and thank you! :cyclops:
Here's some quick instructions:
1) Root your device with Kingo Android Root. Make sure your phone is on debugging mode (about phone, tap the build name several times, it will activate developer menu)
2) Install Philz Recovery through Odin in download mode (Vol down+ Home button+ Power): [It seems to be less error with Philz Recovery on Knox affected Mega in my case, so I suggest you to use this one instead.]
3)Download the latest CM11 version. Go in ROM folder, then CM11, and choose the latest version.
4)Download GAPPS
5) Put the last two files on your internal SDcard.
6) Reboot to recovery (Vol up + Home button + Power).
7) Wipe data/cache.
8) Install CM11.
9) Install GAPPS.
That's it, enjoy!

Thank you very much for the tutorial. I've done everything you've mentioned and its worked without a hitch! :laugh:
I have a rooted S2 running a rom named jeebo. Anyway I have been getting a notification pestering me to update SU User and after that the device would not boot at all (thanks for the update)! The phone would not go into recovery but I could force it into download mode. using Odin 1.85 I managed to flash the original jeebo kernel and CWM files and it will now go into recovery mode. Unfortunately in recovery mode I can access the menu but it will not do anything, the "top hat" just sits there? I would like to back up the data to the SD card and then start again and flash a more up to date rom to the device. Is there anyway I can retrieve my apps data?
Thanks
Fixed it.
Thanks
Works great
