This update.zip will flash clockwork recovery, overwriting the need/ability to use the stock recovery folder with command in it.
For advanced users only.
v.8 Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w
The credit for this all goes to Bekit for the biggest step forward on the Gtablet, and obviously Koush for the custom recovery to begin with. Roebeet packaged this update.zip.
Instructions:
1) Unpack download to root of sdcard. (Internals /sdcard, NOT /sdcard2)
2) Start tablet while holding volume + and power. (Let go when you see text come up saying entering recovery)
3) You will see a short installation and it will reboot.
4) Check the install by powering off, the powering on with volume+ and power
5) You should be greeted by a menu with Clockworkmod at the top
i have been using clockwork on my gtablet for several days now. it backs up and restores just like i would expect it too.
well done as usual.. props for all involved.
Works great no problems at all !!!
wishlist:
1. add SDCARD2 to the mount and storage section.
2. ... wait that is it.!
Should I be able to take this file and rename to update.zip, put it in the root of "sdcard" internal space, put the recovery folder in root directory too and then boot up with power + volume up to install this?

Or just extract the zip file supplied in the first post onto the sd card. Everything will go into its place. Then boot from recovery using power and volume+.
So, if I place the cwm update.zip and recovery folder in the root of sdcard (internal), then when I boot into recovery, CWM will show up instead? Just want to know if it really is that simple. Also, if I want to flash a new ROM (Like the zpad one), do I simply place the update.zip from that rom anywhere other than the root of "sdcard", and flash using CWM?
One last question, if I delete the CWM update.zip, is it like CWM was never placed on my g tab?
Am I the only one having trouble getting cwrecovery on the root of sd card? cant get this to run. i am a visual learner and reading how to do all this is helping me very little. if anyone would be willing to do a video or reference me to a link so i can learn to do all this, i would appreciate greatly. this is very frustrating tab stock!
hey this might help you get it installed..
plug your gtablet into your computer, then on the gtablet, click the "enable usb storage connection" button
then on your pc, open windows explorer, and open removeable drive F, the letter may be different for you.. it should show 13gb free on it, and there should be an android folder and a dcim folder.. that's the root of the storage inside the tablet.. it's the same as sdcard.. unzip the clockworkblahblah.zip to the root/top level directory of that removeable drive. then turn the tablet off. and then hold down the volume + button while powering it back on, it should install the clockworkmod recovery manager.. that's about it
jw52637 don't feel bad... I'm a visual learner as well.
uncola,
I followed your instructions and I saw the update install on boot up. Now I'm lost. I expected to see and application named ClockworkMod Recovery or something like that... but I did not. How do I know it is installed and how do I use it to back up my stock ROM? Also, do I remove the "update.zip" from the root directory or just leave it there?
Sorry for the questions but I want to learn how to do this so I can stop bothering you guys.

ClockWorkMod Recovery is the recovery system...so you have to boot your tab into recovery (hold volume + and power the tab up). If installed, you'll get the ClockWorkMod Recovery instead of the stock recovery system. You can make backups, do restores, install .zips, etc... from there.....then "reboot" the system to boot back to your normal system.
Thanks tcrews. I moved the update.zip from the root directory to a saved directory then rebooted holding the volume + key and it booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery. I chose back up and everything seemed to backup fine.
So if/when I install another ROM and I do a restore to the ROM I just backed up I should be right back to where I was at that time. I have used Titanium Backup to back up all my applications and settings and know I would have to restore them also.
I'm just wanting to understand how I can get back to "stock" so that I can get the automatic updates from Viewsonic.
Well i just tried it all again, and all worked very well. Thank you very much
Ok, I'm totaly new to this so please bare with me, having some troubles with my G tablet NOT booting so I cant access it through Windows to install CW to fix my tablet. How can I get the Files on the tablet? I can get it to attempt recovery but no luck. PLEASE help. I'm pulling my hair out here.

There is a physical reset button inside the device, or you can try ADB.
I cant get the recovery image to find update.zip
I have clockwork recovery gtab-cwm-v08 installed and renamed to update.zip in the root of the internal sd but when i boot into recovery it goes to the android screen then shows a triangle with a exclamation point, then reboots normally!
I rooted with z4root 1.2.1
I have superuser permission so am rooted!
Unrooted then rooted again figuring this might help!
Tried a few different clockwork recoveries
have no idea what the problem is! if anyone has any clue it would be appreciated!

Had that happen to me. What I did was run the CWM again into the gtab. Next reboot I had CWM insgtalled and working.
Hope that helps
CWM 0.8 is the one that I used and is working for me. I have the gTab w/the "original" partition scheme, and installed it by the original gTab update process.
If you're using newer CWMs I've read posts in the CM6b4 thread that newer CWM version seem to be causing problems for some people.
Also if you have a "newer" "batch" gTab w/a different partition map scheme you might want to check what the latest info is on the IRC channel, #tegratab on freenode IIRC. Might be quickest to ask for help there anyways, as it sounds like this probably isn't your problem.
Hi,for some reasons I can't get Odin to work properly.I have B5510JPKJ4 firmware and I want to install it into my samsung Galaxy Y Pro gt-b5510.
Is there any solution to convert this firmaware into .zip or something else to make it installable through SD Card?
The firmware got these 3 files:
DefaultCalDataWithBoot_B5510JXKJ1_REV03.tar.md5
FOTA_AP_B5510JPKJ4.tgz
FOTA_CSC_B5510OJPKJ1.tgz
Or can I simply add .tgz files into SD Card and install them through recovery mode?
help plsss

Save CWM by skin1980 in the root of sdcard(/sdcard)
Save the DDLE1 backup u got here nd save it in sdcard.. the backup will be saved in a folder which has a path similar to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-03-09.17.40.45/
Then Restart into stock recovery
Install the zip(Skin1980 zip)
CWM will open up(Yellow fonts)..
Select backup&restore>restore
If u hv saved in correct location as I stated.. U'll get that in the list..
Select it.. pick yes restore...
It'll take hardly 5-10mins
Enjoy!!

if you can get into recovery mode you can either
1. restore a nandroid backup
2. format system data cache - mount system data cache - flash a custom rom zip
if you cant get into recovery mode then go into download mode and flash stock rom via odin (requires a pc)
phone is bricked !!Lol!

Hello all,
First off a big thanks to the forum mods. I rooted my new Galaxy S4 (AT&T, I337, model number ends with AMDL) using the motochopper method, and could successfully root my phone. However after rooting I tried installing CWM from the SD card but I keep getting the message "installing falied", followed by my phone formatting it self, worst of all I did not have back up for my phone. What is that I am doing wrong? Is there a way restore my phone back to the factory settings? Thanks in advance.
-Santhoo.
How are you trying to install CWM? what I am asking, what file is it? a zip? do you have any recovery installed?

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the recoveryxxx.zip file on to the SD card, restarted the phone on to recovery mode (home+volume up+power on, followed by choosing install from external storage). Once the installation starts, few moments later I see a message saying installation failed followed by wiping data from phone, and end up with formatting my phone. I noticed the same happening when I tried installing something from my SD card using the booting into recovery model followed by install from external storage method. My phone works fine and all but I am unable to use the benifits of rooting my phone, and am stuck with all the bloatware.
I know you are wanting to use the cwm, test it by downloading goo manager and installing the twrp from that, then try the zip from extsdcard, umm I flash EVERYTHING from my extsdcard. Not one issue.

If you are booting now, I would use Titanium backup and go freeze the bloatware first, then delete later, this way, if you freeze the wrong one, you can unfreeze, then when you are familiar with this, remove the bloat as need be.
Just a suggestion. try this first.

I uninstalled some of the ATT bloatware, bloatware that I know just chews up the battery, and am not sure of the Samsung bloatware, so I did not mess with it. However I did not find the option of installing apk files directly. I installed some of the apk files downloaded from internet on to my HTC Aria directly from the computer using the command prompt, and was wondering if I could do the same with SGS4 using TWRP.
BTW, I forgot to mention, I used Titanium BU to uninstall some of the ATT bloatware

Do you have adb + the drivers installed? If not, do so now and then adb push the files to the phone. adb will work even if you're in recovery. Should be plenty of write ups on the forum about how to install and set up the required stuff.
is been a long time since I pushed files useing adb Im sure it will come back to me. Should I change to clockworks to avoid this in the future? Why is it not mounting

It can't be on the Nexus 4. If you don't have the files on your phone it's your only option at this point.
Edit: CWM vs TWRP wouldn't make a difference in this case.

You cant mount it as USB storage in recovery mode. I normally download the new ROM I want to flash before going into recovery so that I don't have to use adb to push it.

It sounds like you have a bad download. Retry it and check the md5 with this. Download the ROM, check the md5, copy it to your extSD, reboot to SS and try again. If the ROM slot gives you problems try the stock slot. I always flash to the stock slot. The worst that will happen is you will have to Odin back to stock but most likely not if you have a backup on the extSD.
I've seen that. What version of Safestrap?
