I need to get my Sprint tab fully back to stock, right now i'm running the voodoo custom CWM 2.5.x recovery on my tab and i've flashed the Zephyr rom to go back to stock but clockworkmod is still there. The main problem is that I can't even install the Sprint update. I'm just wondering if someone can please assist me in getting my stock recovery back. Thank you.
Search for the stock files. It should come with odin, if you don't have it.
Make sure you only flash the PDA portion (that will flash the .tar)
you should be good after that.
I haven't tried this, but I don't see why it won't work.

ok well installed the honeycomb rom just to mess around with it see what it looked like. then i went and wiped my tab and restored my backup. now when it starts up all it goes to is the cwm voodoo, nothing ive tried to do has fixed it. i'm sure i'm just dumb but could use the help after hours of looking for a answer with no luck
thanks
How are you trying to revert to stock? I installed the honeycomb alpha 2 release. I was able to go back to a stock rom using Heimdall.
I've tried just flashing my back up I've tried flashing other roms but everytime boots back up to the cwm menu. I haven't been able to try heimdall because I can't get into download mode
I've tried to get into it with no success
PM sent...You are actually experiencing an issue most likely with the GSM bootloaders. The VZW tab has it's own individual bootloaders compared to every other TAB variant. As of now, no VZW bootloaders for ODIN exist online anywhere. The few I found were actually corrupt and not complete for ODIN flashing.
I installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery but when I hit reboot into recovery it goes into the normal android recovery screen. I also tried doing a backup of my old rom but it just reboots into stock recovery screen and doesn't actually do the backup. I tried installing ROM from SD, same thing. I've tried different recovery versions (2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.2) but they all do the same thing. I'm rooted and it has superuser permissions, so that's not the problem. I have ROM manager premium. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ROM manager. Please help.
Try installing it through stock recovery. (reinstall pakages)
What firmware you using?
rom manager is only good for eclair and froyo
there isnt a correct update.zip for the captivate on gingerbread.
if on gingerbread flash a kernel with CWM (clockwork) built in.
if on froyo/eclair you must select *reinstall package* from android recovery TWO TIMES in a row!
except FROYO has recovery3e also.....it will not allow unsigned update.zip files.
Ok. I'm on Froyo 2.2. Stock firmware. Trying to get either Fasty II or Cyan. First time doing all this. All this started with the GPS problem... (I know, I know. There's a thread for that.) Plus, I am interested in other ROMs. Just praying I don't kill my phone in the process.
you need to look at Odin/heimdall a CWM kernel, or fixing your recovery 3e to accept unsigned zips
^That. Fasty II needs Gingerbread bootloaders
OK. Well, really, I think I'd like to go Gingerbread. I dunno. There's too many to choose from. I want to get CWM working first. Where's the forum to install manually? There's so many places to look...
If you are going to GB flash a leaked stock first that contains boot loaders. Does your phone take well to 1 clicks?
Augh! I used Odin to flash the kernel. I had a temporary success. I had cwm up and it backed up my old rom. I rebooted twice into cwm. Third time, it reverted back to old android recovery. Like I said... Augh!
-Typed while driving on my Captivate- []
Flashed it again. Got CWM back up. Now, moving on to figuring out getting gingerbread. Any tips here are greatly appreciated as long as they make sense.
Also, what is 1 clicks?
Odin 1 click that will flash a leaked stock rom like 2.3.3 KF1 or 2.3.4 KH3 or 2.3.5 KI2. If they include Bootloaders you can just flash a cwm kernel and ready to flash any rom you like.
Okay I have a Samsung I9000m I got yesterday. I made a copy of my EFS from what I Can tell and copied it to my PC. I currently am Running stock Rogers Firmware 2.3.3 and want to install a 4.0.4 firmware like Dark Knights 3. IS there anything else I need to do or can I just copy it to the root of the phone and install it with clockwork or is there something else I am missing. I go to recovery but it is the stock recovery, this is where I ma thinking I am missing something. The phone is also rooted. Can any one point me in the right direction. And yes I been looking on the forums and not seeing what I need.
Thanks

If you can not enter CWM Recovery mode, you can not install ICS. You need to install a kernel such as Semaphore (installed with ODIN in box PDA) and you can install it and ICS with no problem.
Oh I forgot, when you go to install ICS, you must remove the MicroSD, but may occur Bootloop.
and backup the the efs folder first!!!
Sounds like clockworkmod is not properly installed.
Revert to stock using odin. Then install CF-root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
This will root your stock rom and install clockworkmod.
OK I have a GT i9000 and I did manage to get into CWMode.
Now each time I try to install new custom ROM (I choose the zip from the SD card) 5secs after it starts installing it reboots and winds up in the blue CWM recovery screen. Tried different ROM's but - nada.
Any feedback?

You need to update the bootloader to a newer version. Install a 2.3 stock rom first and it should be fine.

Well I thought 'cause I'm on GB 2.3.3 it is OK.
Do I really need a new bootloader?
UPDATE: I managed to install the ROM. Dunno why, but on the second CWM screen I again choose to install the zip and it did the job.
Would appreciate if someone could help me with my problem - I had earlier used CF-Root to root and install recovery which went off well, took a nandroid backup and then tried to flash CM9 through recovery. WIthin a few seconds it rebooted, showed the Cyanogenmod splash screen and went back into recovery - only this time it was a newer recovery (6.0.0.2) than what CF-Root had installed. I'm not able to install through zip file and for some reason I am not able to restore from nandroid as it says the md5 does not match. So as of now I am stuck in recovery.
To add to this, I realize that I messed up as the instructions said to update to a GB rom if coming from Froyo, which I did not notice. Any idea what I can do from here? If I can still run through this process can someone point me in the direction of a suitable GB ROM I can install? My end goal is to be on CM9, but right now would just be happy to get back to the stock GB ROM as well.
Flash to the stock firmware again? at SamMobile? That is what I did when my device did not boot up after installing CWM recovery and some rom.

you better use the overcome stock gingerbread safe 5 (the best stock for all situations) google overcome.com and get the files, you will find also a tutorial for how to stock your tab before updating it to overcome or cm9 etc...

Thanks sos_sifou - worked great! I think I'll stick with the Overcome GB ROM for a while as it works pretty good, and look at CM9 / 10 whenever it gets stable!
Hi guys! I need your help. I just got a gt-p7300 and was planning on rooting it. I wanted to be able to back up my rom first so, if ever i mess up I can just restore to the working one I backed up. No I was able to flash ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 through Odin 1.85. But when I back up the rom and went back to check my back up by choosing restore, there were no files. meaning the back up didnt go through. did this twice, even flashed ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 again through Odin 1.85.
I was thinking probably because there might be a newer version of cwm for my p7300. I was able to find cwm v6.0.0.8, downloaded it and flashed it on to my tab but when I go and back up the rom it still shows that there are no files to restore, the back up process wasnt able to do it's thing again.
Can someone shed some light on the matter, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, it happened to my P7300 once and it is gone now, but unfortunately I don't know how
anyway try the latest CWM v6.0.2.7 , this might solve the problem
Solved the back up problem
Solved the back up problem. I used TWRP recovery.
Thank you for replying. Cheers
