there is already plenty of info on this. read the last 5-10 pages of the thread and you will see that you installed the rom WRONG
you need to find a way to get into download mode and restore it to stock......then before you flash something, read.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section if there is a mod feel free to move this I have previously read everything you gave me and i am unable to get into download mode but i am a little confused on the adb process can you help me through this i open a cmd promp and type in adb shell and it just says something about it being an unknown command am i missing a step?

did you download the SDK? ADB is part of the SDK and is not something found natively in windows.

i do have sdk in my Cdrive yes

did you unzip it?
is the filepath C:\android-sdk or something similar?

Yeah that thread has everything you need to know. It's important to check and make sure you can enter download mode via the button combo method before you start flashing away.
Also, you really must do a backup of your current rom before you flash a new one. Had you done that, you wouldn't be sitting where you are right now.
Having said that, you will read in the thread that Pirateghost linked that, assuming you have the sdk and have installed the proper drivers, you need to navigate to the \tools directory within the sdk in order to run adb. Once you are in the proper directory, just type:
adb shell
(dollar sign should appear here)
adb reboot download
and it should reboot into download mode.

There really should be a warning not to flash Cog b9 from 2.1 with clockwork. I don't think I've heard of a single report of that working.

There after two "modes" your phone can be put into...
1. Download mode:
Done by having your phone off and then quickly turning it on and holding down JUST the up and down volume controls while having the usb already plugged in (easist I've found is stated above regarding taking the battery out, plug in usb, hold both volume buttons, then while holding them put battery back in)
2. Recovery mode:
Done by holding both up and down volume buttons AND the power button.

I had the same problem as well.

rooting galaxy tab 10.1v (working)

hi, this is how i managed to get root working on my tab, everything went fine for me till it came to booting into recovery then nothing use to happen so i combined two separate guides to get it working. thanks (bcmobile and 411tecknology)
the command in "(getting root 5) )" worked for me as i was getting stuck with "fastboot flash recovery skitzandroid-recovery.img"
i unlocked the bootloader by firmware upgrade the the following
for all those people like me with no experience in dos commands or linux, hope this works for you​
PREPARE:
1) With your Tab in fastboot mode (step 1 of “GETTING ROOT” below), make sure you have a working fastboot implementation:
working dir\\fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number. If there is a problem, you won’t get any response.
2) Downlad the two files attached to this thread
3) create a folder in drive c naming it "root"
This will be referred to as the working directory throughout the rest of this guide
4) Copy skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip to your working directory (DO NOT UNZIP!) c: root
5) Extract the skitzandroid-recovery.img file from skitzandroid-stock-recovery.zip to your working folder. Your working folder( c: root) should now have 1 IMG file and one ZIP file.
6) copy fastboot files to the the folder that you are going to use as working dir ( c:root)
7) Copy the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file to the root of your sdcard. You can eithe drag/drop, or run:
working dir or c:\root>adb push skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip /sdcard
GETTING ROOT:
1) Power off your Tab and power it back on, while holding the VOLUME DOWN button.
2) When the DOWNLOAD / FASTBOOT icons appear, press VOLUME DOWN again to select FASTBOOT icon (the one with the USB logo) and press VOLUME UP to confirm selection.
3) Confirm you are now in fastboot mode and do a:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number.
4) Open a terminal / CMD prompt and CD to your working folder
keep doing cd.. until you get to "c:>" then
cd/root
5) Run the following command:
c:\root> fastboot boot skitzandroid-recovery.img
..and wait. It might not look like anything is happening but it is.
6) You should now have a recovery menu. Use the volume rocker (up/down navigates menu options)
to select “Install zip from SDCARD” (or something like that)
7) Navigate to the root of your internal storage (/sdcard), select the skitzandroid-10-1v-root.zip file and press (tap!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
Once complete, use the Volume rocker to select “REBOOT” from the menu and press (tap!!!) the POWER button to confirm selection.
9) YOUR’RE DONE. Press the thanks button on this thread to continue
TESTING:
Check your apps menu to confirm the existence of SuperUser app.

whats wrong with this?

Great, Thanks

I do not understand: 3) Confirm you are now in fastboot mode and do a:
fastboot devices
If all is well, you should see your device serial number.
Where do I enter this data?
I mean - fastboot deviсes

once you start your device in fastboot mode and connect it with the computer to make sure your device is recognized by the computer you open command prompt take it to your working dir.. (ie. c:>root) in our case type fastboot devices and hit enter, if your computer recognized your device you will the serial number under it.

im sorry> can you help me?
When i write in the command line "fastboot.exe devices" nothing happens....

assuming you have installed sdk if not please do so, then staying in sdk go to
(C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools ) by clicking your mouse in desktop
(not cmd prompt). above eg.. is how i installed sdk on my desktop yours may be different, now in platform-tools you will see two files called fastboot copy them both to to your folder called ..root.. and you are set to go.
bottom line is if you want to start fastboot from any folder in cmd you have to have these two files in the folder.
also if you know that your device is detected by your computer dont worry about step 3. all it does is tell you that your device is connected.

I have all turned out, the problem was the drivers. I copied the driver from pdanet and it worked!

You need the drivers installed for fastboot, have you installed them? Please have a look at the [Guide] Unlock your bootloader thread. it contains all the details to get fastboot working.

thank you...finally did it
another noob question...how do i enter in cwm for installing another ROM ???

The easiest way if you are rooted is to install rom manager from the market. It has an option to reboot to recovery if you have CWM installed. It also allows you to update to the latest CWM recovery if there is one.

i've tried putting the TB Galaxy 1.0.9: Honeycomb 3.1 + TouchWiz UX and i made a mistake... in cwm i've uploaded the zip file only with the update and not the rom itself.since then the tab won't start...it stop's in the beggining at the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1v"...any ideea...what can i do ?

Download latest rom and instructions from samfirmware.com using odin Get ur tab into fastboot mode with 3 button recovery and start from scratch.
It should work out

Do the following. If you have not yet odin.
Download the full rom.
Follow instructions in how to get into fasboot in sticky thread.
Once in fastboot you can load recovery via it, to do that download the recovery from droidbasement.com/blog, search on pershoot's website for recovery 4.0.4 if i remember correctly then type
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the file you downloaded from droidbasement.com
Recovery will then load give it a minute or so.
Once loaded you can push the downloaded full rom via adb. That is part of the android sdk.
Like this: adb push romfile.zip /data/media/ (this will take a few minutes)
Then in cwm instal rom.
I hope it helps. Btw, remember you need to flash the wipe script of the rom before you install the rom if you are comming from stock.

10x everybody it worked!!!!!!!!

Still me, posting in yet another thread. Still can't get the proper drivers. Pda method is not working. Which version of PDanet should I use ? The latest ? This is ****ing irritating...
I'm used to have to struggle to get things work at the beginning, but with my Magic and Hd2 it was a matter of hours...not weeks ! I'm sure it's something stupid but everybody deserted these guides topics...
I'm actually considering posting in the Dev section just to get attention...
Also, pershoot blog's advices are a joke : with no tags, a not working search field, no categories, try to find an info ! Knowing that the word "Recovery" will pop about 3 times per subject, I'm good to spend the week-end searching...

Hello,
I have been successful with rooting on win7. With win xp - after a few day struggling - fastboot did not give a go. Hope this helps

I just can't get the "Adb Original" signature from Pdanet. I always get standard Adb. I add the galaxy tab lines in the .inf file but still...
Do you guys edit the inf file with Wordpad or another tool ?

[Q] [Urgent] How to Enter to Recovery mode without Power button

Hello guys,
I have a big problem!
which is that my power button not work...
and I don't have any problem with it because I use trackball to unlock my phone .. and using (quick boot) for rebooting...
BUT,,, Yesterday I have change my ROM to (ICS) which is sdk version, and I know that...
the ICS url:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314781&page=7
whatever,,,, the wifi is not work ! the data(3G) is not work ! the Bluetooth is not work ! so how to enter the recovery mode to return my previous ROM ?!
Help me please!

Any help plzzzzz

just use quick boot but select either recovery or bootloader depending on which option you need

ICS is new enough that I don't know if this will work, but in Gingerbread and lower, you can use adb to do it.
Make sure Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging Mode is enabled. Then go to the computer type
Code:
adb reboot recovery

This is a long and hard procedure, but should work if you are not able to use adb or if you don't find a better solution. You will have to power on your device using the battery trick one time or two:
Pull out the battery.
Copy the passimg.zip to the root of your sdcard.
Power on the n1 with the battery trick. You have to keep the vol- button pressed while booting.
Install the passimg file
Root your phone (oneclickroot is fine).
Reboot with adb or with battery trick.
Install quickboot and rommanager
Install recovery.
Use quickboot to enter in recovery and restore your backup.
Hope this helps

my phone now is 2.1 !
but I cannot cont. cuz tell now the usb does not known my phone !
is there any way to root the phone without usb ? I mean like installing "passimg.zip"

-Upgrade to 2.2 Froyo
-look for a Z4Root QR Code
-Scan the Z4Root QR code using Google Goggles or w/e
-Install it using astro or a file manager app
-look for Z4root tutorials on youtube
-????
-Profit
You don't need the computer at all but for looking up tutorials IF you are confused that is.

You need to install the phone drivers on your PC, than you can use oneclickroot. Reboot, install quickboot, recovery and you are done ;-)

[Q] CWM flashing -HELP

hey guys i have a brand new TF701T an im desperately trying to install a custom ROM before i get into using it..
IM trying to install the ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608129&page=30
The first step of manually updating to 10.26.1.18 JB3 is done and I'm now stuck on the CWM step.
I have The ROM and recovery IMG downloaded and im unsure what to do next...Ive googled first and cant really figure it out..
sorry for my newb question but if someone can take pity on me and direct me i will forever be in your debt!!
Put FASTBOOT.EXE and RECOVERY.IMG in the same file.. this i can understand
but........
''Right click + shift on the folder they are in and choose open command prompt here
Boot into the Bootloader by either booting with the Power and Volume Down Buttons held down until you get the 3 icons or by typing the following into the command prompt.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type the following commands to flash the recovery image:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader''
Is where im lost..
please hgelp..anyone

please..anyone?

Are you unlocked?
Which part is it you don't understand? Opening the cmd prompt?
In Win7 & 8 if you hold the shift key and right click you get a contedt menu with the option to open a command prompt here.
You do have fastboot and adb drivers installed right?
Search XDA for adb fastboot tutorial. Thrre are several very good ones..

Have you managed to get the command prompt open?

In my original post i said i understood 'Have recovery.img & fastboot.exe' in the same file but it turns out i didnt even know what the 'fastboot.exe' was!! I thought it was just another name for the ROM.zip..
SO>> The problem was that i didnt know about the whole android SDK/ platforms tools/ ADB pushing Step..:crying:
after i installed android SDK on my computer and saw the fastboot.exe in the platform tools folder, everything made much more sense
I guess for most guys here it is common knowledge...but not for me. The ROM instructions didnt really specify this clearly nor did the CWM's link instructions.
I wasted 2 days trying to do it but WOW it was worth it..your chromi x ROM is amazing! great job! I've also learned a useful skill for the future so no complaints here
