I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
I suggest people start using genokolar's version instead, available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067490
Clockwork Recovery port based on Koush's 3.0.2.8 source.
Available here: http://www.multiupload.com/DQGL84P3A5
Source available on my github: https://github.com/stockwell/u8800-clockwork-recovery-port (bit messy.. will do a cleanup when I have the time)
BIG THANKS TO 357546 for creating the new kernel!!
v4 Notes:
- Now using 357546's kernel with fixed framebuffer driver capable of RGB565!
- Seems to be fully functional aside from rom manager integration
- Some small cleanups in init scripts and sbin
Detailed Installation:
- Ensure that there are no Huawei rom updates on your SD-Card in the dload folder and unplug the phone from your computer
- Boot to bootloader mode by pressing the up and down volume keys and pressing the power button. This will show a plain violet/purple screen.
- Connect the phone to your computer. In windows it will automatically mount one mass storage device which corresponds to the /cust_backup folder on your phone. If your OS supports EXT3 it will mount multiple devices, look for the one with an images directory and this is the device to use.
- In the images directory rename recovery.img to something else (ie. recovery.bak) and then copy the new recovery image in its place.
- Unmount the mass storage device to ensure all cached writes are completed and then disconnect from the computer. Exit bootloader mode by pulling out the battery.
You now have the clockwork recovery installed. Boot to recovery by holding the volume up and power buttons to turn the phone on.
wow!
hope for a perfect recovery!
Any feedback on this?

Good stuff man, thanks for the work you're doing.
good job bro
Thanks for the support! I've got an issue though, I've applied the recovery but when I press the vol buttons and power I am taken to the purple screen instead of the green recovery menu. V2 worked fine though......not sure if anyone else is having the same issue?
VolUP+VolDown+Power=Purple screen
VolUp+Power=Recovery screen
Got it, thanks!

Hey, just a question on that topic - I goto 'Backup Current ROM' and it asks me to install clockmod recovery, and asks to verify what model of phone; obviously u8800 isn't an option on the list.
So.... Aroo? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious
actually you don't need to install rom manager
just follow the instructions in this post

Yep, so just skip using the app entirely. Got it

When you are in recovery after the last step which says so, are you just suppose to take the first option "reboot system now"?
Sorry, completely beginner with these kinds of stuff.
Edit: I guess I should choose backup and restore> backup but when i do so it says "Can't mount SD-card"
I have serious problem by finding the bootloader drivers! The driver update is failing all the time? Do some of you have the driver folder you can give me?
THX!

Feel free to just have a poke around and see what it can do. At the moment the only really useful thing is backup and restore.
I'm not sure why it won't mount the sd. I should mention that it does not use the internal 'sd-card' so you'll get that error if you don't have an external sd-card inserted.

I didn't think that drivers were needed, it should just come up with the mass storage device. From what I remember there are two other devices that windows detects but cannot find drivers for, but don't stress about that as it's not needed. Try it again and see how it goes, it may have mounted but you were stressing about the drivers so missed that it was working.

Just try pushing recovery via adb .. if you know how to use it
Do you mean fastboot isnt working? (3 skating andoids) it wont boot? or recovery doesnt work?
in the clockwork rom manager it has an option for broken recovery...
other than that put the recovery.img on the sdcard (the root of it) then connect the phone and type adb shell flash_image /sdcard/recovery.img
i have tried it with ADB its gives message
usage : Flash_image partition file.img
but it doesn't boot in recovery mod what to do now ?

Code:
1. On your phone, goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.
2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this).
4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
6. Save both the recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2 and the FlashRec.apk to your computer, then copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Goto the Market and download Linda File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and goto SDCard and then find the FlashRec apk file and click it. If asked tell it to use Package Installer to open it. It should automatically install the apk.
10. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type (again remember we have replaced the recovery image from the one in the video so type what is written here, NOT what is written in the video!):
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
Then click on the Flash Custom Recovery Image button (this button might say something else in different versions of Flashrec, but similar to this) and wait for it to finish.
12. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on (keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background). So long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly
Now this mite not work with your rom but it will not damage it in any way,
If point 10 fails then you will not be able to do it this way.
I know my self i had to downgrade my orange rom before doing it,
But before that point 10 just kept saying failed,
Downgrade and it worked a treat.
Hope that helps.
how to downgrade ???
Greetings,
I guess it did not work then,
As for the downgrade this depends on your provider,
I was able to get the orange rru thats a .exe and just run this,
But if you give have a look on the internet for your provider i am sure you will be able to find some thing,
If not get back to me with the name of your provider and the software you are on at this point and i will have a look for you.

Hi i have the same problem as threadstarter. It did not work for me. May i know how do i downgrade my version?
Basically, make sure you've got a microSD card with about 650mb (or more if you have a lot of apps installed, check via Settings -> SD Card menu) free on it for the ext4 conversion before you even start.
Download the ext4 version of the kernel from;
http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-tab-tab-modaco-com/330378/26-jan-r3-modaco-custom-kernel-for-the-samsung-galaxy-tab/
(You _might_ need an account on the site first, not sure)
Install the Samsung Kies software so you've got the USB drivers installed (or install just the drivers from:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201010/20101026044755031/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.3.350.0.exe
Turn your tab off, turn it back on holding the DOWN volume button until you get the big yellow triangle.
Plug it into your PC and run Odin. Make sure that one of the leftmost boxes lights up yellow and says "COM" in it (along with a number). If not, then it hasn't picked up the tab, try rebooting the PC and/or trying another USB port.
Click the big "PDA" button and select the "p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar" file that you downloaded (do NOT extract the archive!)
Then press the "Start" button and cross your fingers.
If the tab seems to hang, give it 5 minutes before you hold the power button down and then turn it back on again. It should sit there for several minutes and perform the conversion.
Once you're done and up & running, you can save the full firmware/ROM to the MicroSD card, boot into recovery by turning the tab on hold the UP volume button, then using the "Select ZIP from sdcard" option to flash the firmware. This will WIPE all custom applications and settings you have installed! I'd recommend doing a "wipe data/cache" before flashing this just in case though.
The full MCR firmware is available from:
http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-tab-tab-modaco-com/331479/04-feb-r1-modaco-custom-rom-for-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-with-online-kitchen/
There are also alternative firmware's (e.g. Overcome, Rotohammer) on this forum - they're all currently based on the same official JMI firmware with various tweaks. The MCR kernel seems to be the easiest way to start.
Full credit goes to Paul @ MoDaCo for releasing the kernel in the first place.
I typed most of this out for someone, figured I'd post it here as well in case it's useful to someone.
WARNING: Check the integrity of anything download from the MoDaCo server(s) before flashing as their server(s) frequently seem to have issues completing downloads.

Make sure you have sufficient space. In my case I needed more than 500MB. My system was corrupted because it tried to backup the existing system onto the microSD and I only had 639MB free, which was insufficient for me. Then when my system rebooted, I kept on getting force closes from Nook and Titanium Backup and some other apps.
nice work!
Hi knightnz,
Sorry for this noob question.
Does this means I can do it on my stock rom without installing anything or customizing my tab?
Is clockworkmod recovery required to execute this conversion?
Thanks.

You have to flash a new kernel, which will also flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device, so the answer to your first question is no, you can't do this without customising your Tab (new kernel, new recovery!), and your second question, yes you need ClockworkMod!
Regards,
Dave
Yup, on the Galaxy Tab the recovery gets packaged in with the kernel installation, so if you flash a zImage, you're probably replacing the recovery as well. (I'm sure it could be omitted, but so far it seems this hasn't been the case).
At the moment all SGT recovery's are based on ClockWorkMod (this includes the MCR kernel version).
As for "stock rom", well I'd class a complete filesystem conversion as definite customising. If you _just_ replace the kernel and do the ext4 conversion though and don't worry about replacing the main firmware, then you'll retain your existing system exactly as it was, it'll be snappier though, and you'll then have access to the CWM recovery should you ever need it.
I had difficulties flashing this as the Modaco server kept on stopping the download when incomplete. I had an hour of scratching my head when I saw that the download was 4 1/2 Mb when it should be 6.66.
It took me about 6 tries to get the full file and was sweating when I saw the following screen:

Yes, I already did that once. Go into the development section and find the Roto JME rom, get the full rom, the p1_hidden.pit, and a modem of your choice, and follow Roto's instructions to the letter, and you will have rfs, and your CWM3 will be gone.
I'm used to the speed increase now. Perf drop if i went back.
Ext4 is stable enough

Dear developers,
I have deleted (by mistake) program Launcer from my Smartphone and now it is not going to load. When I turn on it, there is only symbol of IDEOS. After a minute symbol starting to twinkle, but system not loading.
Could you please tell me how can I return to original firmware?
I hope someone will be able to support me.
If the launcher is the problem, you can just install another, or push again the original from a rom via adb. I assume that the device is rooted(I think you cannot delete a system app if isn´t). If you can connect to pc, then possibly you can install a launcher from huawei' s suite(I´m not sure because I don' t use windows and I haven't try this app) or from a android file manager like QtADB, Android commander or Droid Explorer. You can also install it only with adb via windows command prompt:
http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/google-android/articles/37151.aspx
And maybe, if wifi is enabled and connected, you can just install a launcher from market via pc' s web browser:
https://market.android.com/
The Modaco wiki has a list of original firmwares, but no link to Huawei works anymore. However, it is possible to download the latest China Unicom firmware - which does contain english language support. That should at least get you started.
As a new user I can't post links yet, but it is easy to find if you look for u8800 software, and then switch to Chinese.
Put the extracted directory (dload) on an sd card, in the top/root, put it in the phone and then hold volume down and power on.
Note, this will blow everything away to start from scratch so make sure it is what you want. In addition everything will be in Chinese so you need to be able to navigate to the settings to set it to English.
Better ideas? I am a noob myself so no guarantees...
I have unrooted it before to delete some trial games. And deleted Launcher by mistake.
I can't connect via usb now.
I'm afraid if I upgrade firmware, I have less memory because old one will not be deleted. Or maybe I'm wrong?
No, you're not gonna have less memory.
Did you tried to wipe to factory defaults from recovery mode(power button and vol+)?
You will not have less space because an original firware will format everything from boot partition, system and data... Basically , it will give you original software and status like it came from factory ... Like the other user said, jut find it, extract it , put the dload directory to the root of you sd card and hold volume down and start up the phone ... You will see a progress bar and when it is finished , the phone will restart itself, you will have to wait longer due to the creation of new files and there you go

Install recovery first, then you can connect your device to PC using recovery. If you have friend that have X5, copy the launcher. Else, just install Custom ROM.
The old one will be removed if you install custom ROM. If I'm not wrong.
Recovery.
Unplug USB, turn off your phone, press and hold vol + and -, then press power. Hold those three buttons until it turned on and the screen is purple-pink.
Backup all image data(copy). The rest is in the link.

You are magician. it works now.
hmmm... but there is no launcher application - no workspace available. it doesn't want to load as before. strange.
upgrade don't work too. It is cycle repeating of step1/2.
I just tested and found that you can copy the missing apk from bootloader mode. In this mode(power + vol- + vol+ buttons), when connected to pc via usb cable all partitions of device mounted(at least this happens on linux). So, you can navigate to system partition on /system/app folder and copy there the missing launcher' s apk file. You can find this file on a custom' s rom(or on an official' s rooted rom like modaco's roms) update.zip file. It's on system/app folder. I tested this on linux and I could(not as normal but as root user though) copy or delete files from there.
dancer_69, thank you for your support. At my side when I connect via bootmode, there is only flashdrive is visible.
It's really strange that it is not going to upgrade.
I'm able to apply sdcard:update.zip. So maybe if to put this application inside of the card, it could install. but I don't know how to do it.
I finded apk file and tried to install it but it don't receive file because it hasn't some certificate. ???
I think you have 3 options here.
1. flash an official rom(you put the dload folder of rom's zip file on root of sdcard and boot to bootloader mode. The update starts automatic)
2. Use a linux system(maybe a livecd) to access the other partitions.
3. Try to reroot the device from pc, via superoneclick app(you can find it here), so to have access to system again.
but I haven't access to installation program area. nothing!
I have only ability by pressing (vol + and on) to choose install update.zip from flash card.
so.
1. when I runned new firmware from dload it didn't install. it was cycling at first level (1/2)
2. linux is good idea. but I'm not sure that it's will be profitable. maybe I have turned off access to partitions inside of phone
3. I can't install superoneclick as I'm not able to install any application.
I hope we are closer to some geniously idea. I have bought phone yesterday and we haven't service center in our city. So, I need to buy the other one.
This is not so serious problem, it' s not hardware, it´ software related. And I think you cannot turn off access so easy.
The superoneclick is a pc application. You don't need to install something on device(if I remember well, because I use it once before a long time). You can try it.
And you can try linux too.
I don't think that this is a problem that only service can solve it.
What firmware you tried? Try another one. And better try to find the one that you device has(if you know it)
Thank you for positive opinion.
1. Will try to change firmware as you said. Try 2 more firmware from Huawei.
2. Superoneclick needs approval from phone, today night I wasn't able to run it.
3. I'll try Linux too.

Hi there. This is my first reply to a problem. I think i have it figured out.
Check this:
Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development:
On this screen make sure USB debugging is unchecked.
When you plug the phone into your computer, then a dialog should pop up on your phone asking you to enable USB storage mode. Tap "Turn on USB storage".
It may ask you to confirm. Tap "OK".
Good luck. I hope that helps you.

It's very much difficult than that. Well the only way to restore your usb problem is going back to stock and after that you only can install a 2.2 custom rom, after you switch to 2.3 your problem will appear again! If you go to "device manager" on windows when U use 2.2, U see that the phone is corrected installed, but when u connect with 2.3 rom, the device it's not corrected installed and therefore only mounted as CD-ROM... I know that, 'cause I have the same problem and tried all this options. I installed usb drivers that huaei give us on their site, but the problem persists. I tried with both CWM recoveries and both work good on 2.2, stock or custom, but not on 2.3....
Last but not least, go check your imei on system, almost sure U got a 0 on that too, as me. So this is some problem with 2.3 roms that "f*cked up" our phone. Altough usb problem is reversible when installed stock rom, the problem with the imei persists after a stock rom install...
Hope it help some people somehow!
(sorry for bad bad english)

Did U check your IMEI? Please confirm that, 'cause If U have IMEI=0 and usb problem as me or other guy I know, maybe the problems are related to each other, and forget easy options, i tried almost everything, almost sure that when install 2.3 roms. it changes some values and the phone goes nuts, 'cause if you use 2.2 it works correctly as a normal usb device!

I did, but it worked in Oxygen and MIUI. I bet they're all using genokolars github device, which might be buggy.

mine only works with 2.2, every 2.3 have the problem to me!
I know this is an old topic, but I have the same problem: USB shows up as a CD Drive and IMEI is 0. Does anybody know a fix for this?
Hey guys, I have good news for you all. I sat down these days and tried all kinds of exploits and one, normally for the Asus Transformer Prime really works!
Debugfs automated root from sparkym3 provided me full root access to my device. Its simple to use and does all stuff automatic
So it enables Users of the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet to finally root their device, even if you had it updated to ICS. As you all know, this was not possible before, but after I ran through almost all exploits running anywhere for ICS, I found this one working like a charm.
Have fun!
WARNING!
If you dont know the slightest bit of Windows or Linux shell and never did more than USE the device, be warned... If you kill it, its dead!

I confirm it works perfectly. ICS TPT _A400_03_0070_0132_US :good:
God, this is so wonderful. CWM works, Koshu's CM10 JB Firmware, too. I LOVE THE DEVICE AGAIN!
Great news! Who might have thought that a working exploit is already out there?
This is wonderful news, a friend of mine recently lost root after he had to send his TPT in for repair and got a new board already updated to ICS.
FANTASTIC - worked on UK running OTA 3.5
Booyah! Thanks Emuandco for your diligence!
Thank you. Had lost hope of root for ICS. My TPT may finally be the tablet I paid for.
22 hours and 5 badly needed factory resets were worth it ^^
Thanks a lot :good: :good: :good:
I just rooted my ThinkPad (WE version). Works like a charm.

wonderful!!!
Thanks a lot!!!
Just tried and it worked!!!
after some trouble installing the adb drivers it worked fine on my WE tablet..finally, awesome, thanks
Amazing how much of a difference having root on this tablet makes.:good:
Stylus and Pressure Sensitivity
Been waiting a long time for this. I had one question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I use my TPT for sketching, allot, it's why I bought the tablet. I was wondering, if I root and then upgrade to Jelly Bean, will I lose stylus and pressure sensitivity?
Can someone post the steps to get this working starting from a clean OTA 4.0.3 rom? I just started messing with the TPT. What boot options are there? I see the hold-down-rotate-and-power boot which looks like what is needed for nvflash, but I can't seem to get any other bootloaders booting here. The debugfs script seems to want to talk to a recovery boot, yes? How do I boot into recovery mode?
Sorry for the TPT newbie questions. Is there a wiki someplace with all the boot modes and other info?
First, load this one: LINK
Its the Driver needed for the TPT to communicate with the PC over ADB protocol.
Go to your TPT Settings below inside Developer Options and check USB Debugging. Attach to your PC and hand the new unknown Device in Device manager the loaded ADB Driver. Then download and unzip everything from the Exploit into a directory; then run RootDebugfs.bat from that directory. This should do it for the rooting of the Stock Firmware. You can verify it by getting "Root Checker" from Play Store. If its green, next load this one: LINK and this one LINK. Its the ClockWorkMod aka modded Recovery Mode making it possible to flash unsigned Updates and making nice Full Backups and the JB Firmware itself.
Install this way from a windows console bein inside the folder where the adb.exe from the exploit is, Step one is making a backup of your previous Recovery Mode for future reverting if you want to do so. Step two is the actual install. You need to copy the loaded recovery.img from the CWM thread to the SD in your TPT, same goes for the JB ZIP File and maybe the 3G Patch for the 3G Card you might have.
BE SURE ALL FILES ARE COPIED ON THE SD AND ITS INSIDE THE TPT AGAIN!
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/external_sd/orig_recovery.img
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.backup
dd if=/mnt/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
exit
exit
This should be enough. Now reboot and while the Lenovo mini Logo shows up, push Vol UP rapidly. This should boot up CWM6, our modded recover Mode. Here Vol UP is upwards, Vol DOWN is downwards and ON/OFF is Enter. First thing, DO A FULL BACKUP TO EXTERNAL SD in "backup and restore", "backup" !!! Then let it do a "wipe data/factory reset", then select "install zip from sdcard" and in there "choose zip from external sdcard". Choose the CM10 JB ZIP first, then the 3G Patch for your Card.
Reboot and youre done.

I have already tried that doesn't work. when in cmd i write adb devices it shows the device is connected
i have put it to transfer files and MTP settings with unknown sources and debugging on ..when i run the .bat file
after the *demon started successfully* it suddenly closes after which nothing happens..what do you think is wrong?
Open a CMD prompt and run the bat file from there. then show us the output of the script please.
AAND be sure that theres not any adb.exe coming from the system path variable, like in system32 or syswow64. kill these
