I've been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi but keep running into the same error.
I push'd the root zip file package into /sdcard via ADB. I can see this file when I browse the directory with a file manager.
The problem is I can't install the zip via the stock recovery because it won't mount sdcard. I get the following error when I select "install zip": unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
Anyone have any ideas? I'm on a Mac with no Windows machine around, so it seems my options are pretty limited.
Does anyone know of a way to manually flash clockworkmod without root? It doesn't look like there's any other way to install the root zip in the stock recovery. Am I just screwed?

After flashing clockworkmod recovery via rom explorer my phone will not boot into clockworkmod recovery- only the stock android recovery mode. I did notice that the clockworkmod "recovery-update.zip" file contains files that *look* like they want to be in the root directory (ie /sbin/*), but some of these files do not exist in my root directory. I'm guessing maybe that rom manager did not successfully extract the contents of this zip file? Should I manually copy the contents of this zip file over to my root directory?
When you boot into recovery from ROM Manager..you may need to hit "reinstall packages" a couple of times
yup
Thanks, that did it.
I rooted to CM7 from TNT Lite. I've been trying to install the gapps but when I'm in recovery it doesn't show the file. I've used root explorer to copy the file to what I think is the root of the machine ( / ). But when I reboot the machine the file is no longer there. Am I copying it to the wrong place?
Figured it out. Didn't know that /emmc was the root of the machine for CM7.
Hi, I downgraded my phone from 2.2 to 2.1 today, and now im going to root. The problem is when I launch step2-windows.bat I got "failed to copy rootedupdate.zip".
And I guess rootedupdate.zip is the file that give me root/administrator rights? Anyway, I put the file into the sdcard manually and launch recovery mode.
In Android System Recovery I choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and I cant find the rootedupdate.zip file there, but I can find other zipfiles.
Is it possible for me to run any rom like this one now or do you have any solution?
I need help to fix my tab,
I've been running pershoots OC kernel with task's roms for several months with no problems and i've been keeping up to date with each version with out any problems.
I just rebooted my tab today and now suddenly out of the blue, the screen shows static and corrupted rbg lines after a few seconds of the samsung logo. And now it is stuck like this after repeatedly trying to turn my device on. I can get into CWM recovery but i dont a restore file on it because i moved them off my tab to my PC to save space.
Is there anyway to move the files back on to the tab to restore it or maybe move the stock kernel so i can flash it and see if that fixes it?
If you don't care about the data in your tab (all your apps and the /sdcard partition), you could try returning to stock via Odin. Here is a good guide (is the last part "Re-“Stocking” Yer System…"): The Guide
Other option (I recommend this one) is adb, in cwm just push the files you want to flash to the /sdcard .
Thanks! I'll try by android debug bridge and see if i can figure this out..
I have adb installed and it works but when i push the zip to /sdcard/ it doesnt show up on CWM install zip from sdcard menu option, i also tried to push it to /mnt/sdcard/ and the files doesnt show up.
I'm at a loss here the cmd prompt doesnt give any errors after the zip transfer

Are you mounting the partition? My guess is you forgot to do it.
Enter the follow commands (one by one) in the terminal (cmd prompt):
Code:
adb shell
Code:
mount /data
Code:
exit
Code:
adb push fileyouwanttoflash.zip /data/media
Now the file should be in /sdcard, just install it from cwm.
If at the moment you're trying to choose the zip from sdcard you get an error telling you "Couldn't open directory" and "No files found", reboot cwm.
Other way to do it is in cwm (so you don't have to do the "adb shell" and "adb mount")
In cwm, choose "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard", then "+++++Go Back+++++"
And from your cmd promt:
Code:
adb push fileyouwanttoflash.zip /sdcard/
Now, flash the file from cwm. (Again, if there's some error, reboot cwm).
Im trying to flash a file from twrp but the files simply don't appear in it. It appear only when I access it through the computer.
Anyway, how to change that ?
maybe because the file is not a flashable zip? With TWRP you can flash flashable zip or img files for partitions.. Also, be sure to access the /sdcard from the TWRP file manager when you tap Install. If it's and External SD you could have to mount it before..
EDIT:
Last but not least, if you are sure the zip is flashable you could use sideload.. From TWRP go to Advanced / Sideload and start sideload.. Open a command prompt into your PC and with the device attached to it use
Code:
adb sideload G:/whatever/the/file/is/into/your/PC/file.zip
Naturally you need adb

It says "failed". Despite that, even if it was an image, shouldn't I see the file at least ? There's an option in twrp which I can choose between zip and images...
The file is the XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip.asc and eu.chain.fire.supersu_v2.78-278_Android-2.1.apk
No one is a zip as you can see..

You should download zip file instead of the asc file if you want to flash the xposed framework.the apk files you have to install it on the phone and you don't have to flash it on the recovery
