[Q] adb reboot recovery and two finger salute recovery in my p7510 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I'm trying to root my p7510 without success, When I do a "adb reboot recovery" the tab Shuts Down. And when I enter in recovery mode by Power+VolDown, when I try to select the option "apply update from /sdcard" it say: E:unknown volume for path [/sdcards]
So I can't be able to root. This is a SGT10.1 retail that I got from bestbuy. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards!

HOWTO : Resolve bootloop AKA "Stuck at Dell logo"

This thread is for the service of all those who are stuck in bootloops (AKA the infamous "Stuck at Dell Logo") after trying some warranty-voiding activities on their cellphone.
I take no credit for any of the solutions below, they have all been discovered and posted by various people, and I have merely collated them into this one single thread.
That being said, there are various things you can try, in increasing order of complexity, to get past the bootloop issue. If one of these methods does not work for you (no single solution worked all the time for me), perhaps one of the others might help.
Note that after applying any of these methods, you will need to wait at least 10 minutes to see whether your phone's bootloop issue is resolved or not.
METHOD 1 : Simple Factory Reset
Power off your phone.
While holding down both volume buttons, power it on again.
From the recovery menu that appears, select option 1, "Factory Reset", using the volume up/down buttons, and then press the camera button to actually do the reset.
Your phone will say that a factory reset is in progress, following which it will reboot. Let it do so in peace.
METHOD 2 : Factory Reset, Reinstall ROM, Factory Reset
Requires ClockworkMod Recovery. Install it on your phone first, if it doesn't already have it. Since the installation is done via fastboot, it doesn't require the phone to be booted into a ROM.
Perform a Factory Reset as per Method 1 above
Power off your phone.
While holding down both volume buttons, power it on again.
From the menu, choose "Update from SD", which will take you into the ClockworkMod Recovery screen.
Flash the ROM of your choice (it _is_ already on your SD card, isn't it?).
After the ROM is flashed, select to reboot now from the ClockworkMod main menu and then HOLD both volume keys down immediately after choosing the reboot option, and keep held until you return to the recovery menu.
Perform another factory reset per method 1.
Let the phone reboot.
METHOD 3 : Using "adb shell" to delete the contents of the "/data" partition. Solution originally proposed in a thread by cue_32
Connect your bootlooping phone to your computer via USB.
Run "adb shell" on your computer (requires you to have the Android SDK tools installed). This will give you a shell into your phone.
In the adb shell, run the following commands:
Code:
cd /data
busybox_1P8P1 rm -rf *
After the "rm" command above has run to completion, run the "ls" command in the shell and if it returns anything except "lost+found" then run "rm -r <name>" where <name> is the directory/folder name you see.
Reboot the phone and wait.
METHOD 4: Formatting partitions using ClockworkMod Recovery. Solution originally proposed by DJ_Steve.
Go into clockworkmod
Select "partitions" menu item
Format /system
Format /data
Format /cache
Press the "Power" button to go back to main menu.
Choose the "select zip from sd" menu option
Select the required update zip from sdcard and flash it
Select to reboot now from clockwork menu and then HOLD both volume keys down immediately after choosing the reboot option, and keep held until you return to the recovery menu
Choose "factory reset" as per method 1 and let the phone reboot.
If anybody has a method - not listed here - which worked for you, please let me know and I'll add it to the list.

[Q] problem in installing Clockworkmod on viewsonic gtablet

I followed the instruction for installing the clockworkmod on viewsonic gtablet. I placed the update.zip and the recovery folder in the internal storage. I reboot the tablet (power and volume+)
The box with the down arrow appeared, and then I pressed apply update.zip, and then nothing happered for a long time. So I reboot it and tried to do the same steps again. BUT now it stuck when I reboot it at "Booting recovery kernel image"
so what shall I do?????
Depends...
1) Does it always reboot to "Booting recovery image..." or only when you're holding the volume up key? If not... can it boot normally?
2) What ROM are you running?

[Q] Trouble entering recovery mode and accessing sd card

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

Install Quick Boot (Reboot) and reboot to recovery. Or you can install Android Terminal Emulator and type the following code:
Code:
su
