First, you need to root your device. Download the link from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21584547&postcount=1.
Put the file "root.zip" you just downloaded onto your EXTERNAL SDcard.
Then, power off the device.
When it's off (it'll buzz), press the volume up key (the one closer the power button) and the power key at the same time.
After a few seconds, the "Galaxy Tab 7.7" splash screen will come up. When it does, LET GO OF THE POWER BUTTON, BUT KEEP HOLDING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON.
Soon you will see some yellow writing on your screen saying the device is copying apks, etc. What is happening is you are booting into the tablet's stock recovery. After a bit, the yellow writing will go away, and then you will arrive at a blue menu.
Using the volume keys, select "install from external storage", then press the power button. You will arrive at a menu of your sd card.
Using the volume keys, select "root.zip" and press the power button.
You will again see some yellow writing and your device will be rooted.
After it's done, reboot the device by selecting reboot and pressing power (it may reboot automatically, I can't remember). You are now rooted!
Now that you are rooted, you need to flash the ported Clockwork Mod Recovery for this tablet onto your device. This is a custom recovery that will replace the stock one you saw before and allow you to flash custom ROMs...You can download the recovery .tar file in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21957277&postcount=1.
You can flash the file your just downloaded, "P6800_Recovery.tar" one of two ways: with an app on the market called "Mobile ODIN", it costs a few dollars, or you can download a windows desktop version of ODIN here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19760431&postcount=1. THE MOBILE ODIN METHOD IS MUCH EASIER, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! If you choose to use Mobile Odin, proceed to the next step and skip steps 14-20, below. If you decide to go the desktop way, skip ahead to step 14.
If you are using Mobile Odin, you just copy the "P6800_Recovery.tar" file to your internal or external storage. Then open Open Mobile Odin. You will see a menu. Toward the bottom, you will see an option to "Open file". Select this and then navigate to the "P6800_Recovery.tar" it will load it up (you will see it in the "recovery" slot). Then hit "Flash Firmware". Wait while it does it's thing, and it will reboot automatically. When it reboots, you have successfully flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery onto your device.
If you use the desktop version, you need to first install Samsung Kies (Google it) to get the proper drivers for you PC to recognize your tablet when plugged in via USB.
Then, copy "P6800_Recovery.tar" to your PC desktop.
Then, you need to unzip the ODIN 1.85.zip you downloaded from the link above onto your desktop, go into the unzipped ODIN folder and run the Odin 1.85.exe.
You will be shown a GUI with a list of buttons on the lower right side (PIT, Recovery, CSC, PDA, Phone, etc.). You want to click the button that says "PDA" and then, in the file selector, choose the "P6800_Recovery.tar" file.
Next you need to put your phone in "download" mode. To do this, power off the device. When it's off, press the VOLUME DOWN and power keys at the same time. When you see the "Galaxy Tab 7.7" splash screen, let go of the power button, but keep holding the volume down button (so, it's like booting into recovery, but with the volume down button, instead).
You will then be shown a caution prompt asking if you really want to enter download mode, hit the volume up key to select yes. Now, plug the tablet into the USB cable that came with your tablet and wait for windows to install the drivers (as noted above, this is why you installed Kies). You will know your device is properly connected when one of the windows in the upper left of the GUI has a yellow bar at the bottom of it and says COM:3 or whatever port you are on.
When you are sure your are connected, click the big Start button and it will go through the process, and your tablet will reboot automatically. You now have Clockwork Mod Recovery flashed to your tablet.
Once you have Clocwork Mod Recovery Flashed onto your device, the last step is to flash the custom ROM.
Download ROM zip file from the thread, then place it somewhere on the internal or external storage of your device, then power off.
Once your device is off, you will boot into recovery like you did above, press the volume up and power keys at the same time, and when you see the "Galaxy Tab 7.7" splash screen. let go of the power button, but hold the volume up key until you boot into clockwork mod recovery (you will see a blue menu again with a little logo of a hat on a gear.
As you will see, this is a different recovery from the one you booted into before, it is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs!
Using the volume keys and selecting with the power key, first perform "wipe data/factory reset". When that's done, perform "wipe cache partition".
When you have done these two wipes, select "Install zip from sdcard". You will then be shown a list of your sdcard's contents. Navigate to the ROM .zip file and press the power key. It will then ask you if you are sure, and select yes then press the power key. You will now see a little progress bar and a description of what is happening. It takes a while and your device will reboot automatically when it's finished.
That's it, you have a custom ROM on your tab!

first question:
Why you can flash this ROM with your stock recovery, i look inside the script steve made and found that
-script mounting and unmounting /data and /system partition
-deleting file system from /data and /system partition
-moving file from zip to /system and /data partition
-making busybox symlinks
-installing kernel
-set some permission
All above process is support with edify script from stock recovery...( until now, i dont know if samsung lock it someday) thats why you can install steve ROM...

This is correct. The tutorial was for all custom ROMs to come, not just my tweaked stock one. The fact that you can flash my ROM is because it is nothing too exotic (it's stock...) and the bootloader and recovery on the tab is not locked down. These things may change, and it is better to have the CWM recovery for that reason AND, especially, as noted in the post above, you can make NANDROID backups which you really should do before you flash a custom ROM...
Steve
thx for the explanation !
i now use CWM recovery, flashed with Odin mobile
great tut, but my CHINA P6800 will not accept any other ROM install for some reason. Yes, I have a brain and others confirm it's somehow locked. No f-ing idea how; more research after (endless) travel.

so in a nutshell, we're bootloader unlocked, I can get my brand new HK galaxy tab 7.7 and root/CWM right away (like my OG tab) without having to do any Bootloader unlock method?

Hi,
Sorry, I know this has been covered loads before but im still a little confused on the method.
Im running a great custom rom on my SGA called MindCR. I would like to be able to flash an updated custom kernel.
Im attempting to flash Rafael.Baugis. E3 Stable.
Code:
How to install Kernel with E3 Recovery (Stock):
shutdown the phone
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-XXX-boot.img.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( Select_you_rom_file.zip )
wait the end of process
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-modules.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
Do I download stock-kernel.tar ? and from the stock recovery, apply update from sdcard, choose stock-kernel?
Do I need to wipe cache afterwards?
Sorry this is so easy for most, but to me those instructions are confusing!
many thanks for your help xda
(ps,. i would of posted this in the dev section but i don't have enough posts)

A: .tar files are to be flashed in Odin
- on the phone go to download mode: keep the [+] and [-] pressed while you power on, when the menu pops out, press [+] again
- on the pc launch Odin, connect the phone with the usb cable, it should lite up a COM-x port if drivers are installed (Rafael provides those too)
- in Odin, press the PIT button, select the cooperve_0623.pit file, press the PDA button, select the 2012***E3-PDA-boot.tar file, uncheck Re-Partition. Start!
B: .zip files are to be flashed in recovery mode, no need for PC
- move the zip file to the sd card
- go to recovery mode: keep the [+] and [Home] pressed while u power on for around 8seconds, a recovery menu will pop out soon after. if it reboots you've kept the 3 buttons pressed too much time, try again.
- select browse for zip file. choose 2012***E3-boot.zip. flash it. choose 2012***E3-modules.zip. flash it. Reboot. No need to wipe anything.
Everything should be clear from Rafael's kernel post, link to files is <<< Custom Kernel and Modules >>> and you can navigate outside the default skydrive folder to find stuff like windows driver and etc.
you can navigate there upper so you will find also driver files etc.

2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do this,
i. Power down your devi ce.
ii. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons until you see the Samsung logo appear.
iii. Release both buttons.

3. On the next screen, select apply update from sdcard using the Volume Up and Down buttons to navigate and the Home button to select.
4. Highlight uvlg3.flash2stock.zip on the next screen and press the Home button to select it.
5. Go back to previous menu and select reboot system now to restart your device."
It all seemed to work fine but in step 4, when i applied the update from sd card it appears in yellow:

There is an alternative way to enter recovery, just pull your battery, hook up the usb cable (ummm phone to pc), press and hold the volume up button then drop in the battery. When you see recovery start let go of the volume button.
You can mount your computer through cwm or twrp recovery an move the stock rom from your pc to your external sd. Do full wipes before flashing (any ROM in my opinion)
Sounds like you need to put the .zip on ext_sd, then wipe your internal sd, or manually delete all of the files. Something is eating all of the space. You might want to put the custom recovery back on it, CWM or TWRP, then wipe it all and reflash the zip, then reboot.
Is anyone able to get any options when booting into the stock recovery? It used to be that even if you didn't have a custom recovery, you could boot into Android recovery and factory reset as well as wipe the dalvik cache.

No idea how. Got into recovery, but since we have a Volume rocker we can't press both at the same time to get past the first screen. No idea what button combination works....

I dont have a Turbo yet, but my guess getting into recovery should be similar to Maxx:
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device should be in recovery

1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS

Ahh... I completely forgot about holding the volume button down that long after getting into recovery.
Thank you!
Great!
But the wipe froze on my device and I had to reboot. Second wipe froze as well. Odd.

Mine did not freeze, however the wipe took what seemed to be 3-5 minutes... Longest cache wipe ever???
Edit: also did not get any sort of "upgrading OS" or "upgrading apps" message like on my previously rooted devices... Just the standard insanely fast boot.
Weird.
Recovery Options changed for Lolli
FYI, Wipe cache took 8 minutes on my phone and I've heard reports of up to 21 minutes.
