[Q] Verizon Tab 2.3.5 rooted, need cwm for ICM

I've read several threads over the last few days and I'm a little confused. I want to make sure I'm on the right track before I use the wrong recovery files.
I rooted my tab(verizon) by using heimdall and applied a stock gingerbread rom with root. now I need to get clockworkmod recovery but when I download it from the market it doesn't list the galaxy tab as a choice to flash the recovery.
I read want to know if I need to use ADB to get CWM Recovery? Is Rom Manager for Froyo only? Is there a Gingerbread version? Will the CWM apply ext4?
I need these answered so I can then move to ICM on my tab as I read that I need CWM and Ext4.
If anyone can answer me that would be a big help. I searched a lot so if I missed something very easy, I'm sorry. I read the Q&A, but I am still left with unanswered questions.
Thanks
Just hemindal miui, and it will give correct cwm
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I used the ICS rom for jt1134 on rootzwiki there are instructions there. Sorry can't post links yet.
Edit there is also the latest CWM to flash with heimdall.

Root Stock ICS ROM
This method works on the released ICS rom from Germany and I would expect it to work for the rest of the ICS roms due for release..
This method does not increase the binary counter or causes a yellow exclamation mark
Rooting
Download the Files first and put in your SDCARD [CWM zip][ SU-Busybox-Installer.zip][ SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip]
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
(Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options)
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
[*]Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
[*]Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
[*]Reboot
[*]You are done and now your device is Rooted

Not clear what you want to do.
Do you want to root an unrooted LC1 GB?

Yes...i want to root the lc1 by this procedure...its posible or not....
You should follow the instructions in the other pinned thread from Dr. Ketan.
This one here is for ICS.
If you are on a LC1: Download Mobile Odin Pro and the LC1-kernel from Chainfire's thread and install the extracted zImage with it.
I do this all the time before installing a new ICS ROM.
But again: read the above thread and the instructions carefully.
Thanks..but my note is revive from hardbrick..it now loss 3gigabyte...
My worried is downgrading via odin pc...
Its possible to encounter again to hang on to factoryfs?
1. you bricked your device already - so I think it's ok to assume you didn't really read the warning threads how to flash in a save way.
2. you want to do it again - because it's obvious you didn't read or understand what is written there
3. I really like to help, but here I'm getting afraid to give hints. Please read the pinned threads in the development forum and follow the instructions there.
"downgrading": Odin doesn't know wether you want down- or upgrading. More interesting: downgrading from LC1 to what version?

You're quite special, aren't you? Expecting an answer after that statement.
LC1: I use stock LC1 (with PC Odin) and after that I install CF Kernel with Mobile Odin Pro for rooting and permanent CWM. Then I install Abyss Kernel from CWM as base for new ICS Roms.

Steps to get a customrom?

Hi,
Finally I read all the guides but I have a further question.
I am currently on stock rom without root. I would like to get a custom rom on my device.
What do I need to do? Or better what is necessary to do?
Can I simply flash a custom Rom through recovery?
Or is root necessary, or is cwm necessary?
Thx

First of all, do this thread in questions and aswers seccion
Secondly, get root on your device
Later get cwm5 and learn basic knowledge about download mode, recovery and flash
Once you understand that, install custom roms of other people, you must learn to flash roms and after that, pick a tutorial (use search) and go dev on linux (windows can be used to, but i prefeer linux)
Good luck!

Thanks allot, after a quick glance it looks like something i can follow and understand.
Tho i have a few questions.
What method is best or most useful for me to use.
What i understand there is a few to chose from.
0.Root with apk
1.Rooting with stock recovery
1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this
2. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
So with "0" ill get root access, right?
And with "1" i can do what? Phone will do a stock recovery and get me root access?
"1B" what is that and what does it mean?
What does "2" mean, what is a counter? What am i resting if i where to use that?
Thanks
using apk to root? do u read 1of the sentence written This method won't replace kernel, so if you root with this method,I recommend to flash safe kernel)
i suggest u just need a 1time root wif PhilZ-cwm6*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
flash it wif ur stock recovery is the safe way without increase binary counter.
Go with installing philz kernel. Which is the best, safest and easiest method. Only prerequisite is to have and external sd
and i feel lost...
what is kernal... ?
whats the difference between the things i asked?
i read everything but i dont know what
"This method won't replace kernel, so if you root with this method,I recommend to flash safe kernel"
means, thats why im asking.
why do i want to replace kernal?
so i should follow this thread instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
and ignore the first link i got
ok
Stock ics kernels are dangerous. Could brick your phone. That's why when on ics its recommend to install a safe kernel.
I think you really need to read a lot before rooting your phone. Most of them are sticky threads which have all the information. It's better to read and go about it as latter damage could be irreversible

[Q] rooting my S5570I

Hey everyone,
I want to root my S5570I. I checked the android development section, it said to install an app after going to recovery. My other phone is an Xperia X10, and the procedure was quite different..I used flashtool for that.
Could someone please explain how to install a recovery and root my phone?
Thanks.

Now welcome to Mini world.
Please refer to FAQ Thread. You don't need to install the recovery. There's a stock recovery pre-installed.
You just need to flash superuser .zip file to root it.
