Any chance you can do a video on "How to Install XT862 drivers on Windows Vista or Windows 7 PC"?
I'm struggling to find the Win 7 drivers and get my PC to recognize the device. I've set my phone as both MTP device or USB Mass Storage, and the drivers fail each time.

[RECOVERY][SCH-I705][2012-24-10] Unofficial CWM 6.0.1.2 for VZW G Tab 2 7.0

This recovery is an older port. For a source build version see this thread
UNOFFICIAL CWM 6.0.1.2 non-touch
NOTICE: I am not responsible for your device!​
NOTE: This CWM was ported from VZW SGS3
I have successfully ported CWM to our device. It is NOT an official release, nor is it built from source.. I'm still working on that one. BUT, for now, we have this. This has been tested on my device. I've successfully made a backup, wiped everything, and restored. Device is still alive
YOU MUST BE ROOTED!
How to flash:
1. Download CWM 6.0.1.2 to the root of your SD Card -- *old thread*
2. From Terminal emulator or ADB do the following:
From ADB
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery
From Terminal
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery
Congratulations! You should now have a functional CWM recovery.
Once you got custom, NEVER accept an OTA!. Verizon released an OTA for the SCH-I705 that makes changes to recovery, boot, and aboot, THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK YOUR ROOT AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! DO NOT ACCEPT!
TO RETURN TO STOCK RECOVERY
Follow the same procedures above, except flash this recovery instead of the CWM recovery.
*Old thread*
Thanks to:
ruben00 - for helping me out with repacking
invisiblek - for his mkbootimg cmdline values, they worked!
Whoever built the GS3 recovery I ported.. Can't remember for the life of me.​
Good work. Wish I could test.
Wonder if mobile Odin would work to flash this like on the other gt2 models.
i just tryed it. it worked perfectly. thanks.. your the man. now when i get home on Monday from the honeymoon. i will build a kernel for it. need a little more speed.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if many of you know who jt is, but he's been developing on samsung devices since the fascinate. He's done great work on both the device mentioned and the samsung galaxy tab org. If he had the galaxy tab 2 and some beer, you can bet your ass he would get some work done on it.
I'll put in 20. Anyone else down for raising some money to get this dude a device?
All do respect. These tablets around 350 bucks. And there Really not that many owners on here. So the goal would never be reached. Just hang in there. Few of us development people are working on this. Should have something with in a month.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of cash to spare. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a wedding after that all just within three months for me. Great offer though!
However, do you think he'd mind lending a helping hand by giving us some advice/input?
Anybody got a link to the origional build released on the verizon galaxy tab 2? Need to downgrade to gain root I think.

Well depends on your knowledge, but it's not easy, it's quite a job and Ubuntu for phones is right know in pre-Alpha stage so... Yeah it will not be good for any everyday use yet, since you even can't play your own music on it yet
Btw Dev you're going to need to make a factory image for our device also so we can revert back to Android.

@Dev apparently you will be able to flash this via recovery and restore to Android using recovery so if you download their maguro .zip and port it to our devices we'll be able to flash ubuntu using our current kernel Then even the biggest noob can flash ubuntu but dunno what they're going to have it for
People with other devices than the maguro DO NOT install this as it's for the maguro only!
Or if you're a dev going to port it, well then just go ahead.

How do you brick a phone while on safestrap? I tried doing the same with JB libs and any crashes were solved by a simple hard reboot.
Which libs were you messing with?
That's odd. How'd that brick it?!

The first thing to do is make sure your recovery is up to date. You can do that with the Rom manager app. It probably is the latest version but, it is better to check first. Then you have to decide if you want to go back to stock and take all the updates. The last update was a month or two ago and had a few security things. It's still GB. If you do then you'll be on a version ending in .621. After that you'll have to find compatible roms. The Liquid linked above is the most up to date version compatible with .621.
Good luck.

Thanks! I too just came across my DX which I had since launch, since it was with my car dock, Im gonna try to see what I can use it for as a companion to my pc...like maybe a desk mounted fan controller or temp monitor would be cool since I love to overclock (computers). Although its likely wishful thinking aside from some bluetooth tools from msi afterburner and such, its amazing the phone got up to ICS.
Might try it out later this week, last rom I had was one of the liberty 2.2.1 builds which were one of my fav at the time. Having gone from the DX, to rezound, and now note2. The DX was probably one of the best rom developed phones out there in its time aside from the nexus.

I was originally going to sell my DX but within a few days i decided to keep mine. New(different) toy for me to play with for a min. I've had the D4 since 2 weeks after it launch date so im super spoiled with Safestrap. Before i got my D4 I was up to date with roms and builds but sadly its still 2.3.

With the Framaroot. Do I use the newest version? Does my DX need to have service to it? Cause it wantss me to activate the DX and every time I get programming unsuccessful. Im going to kick myself if its a noob answer or something I should have known.
Newest should work, choose gimli option

Does the DX have to be connected? Right now it won't let me past activation and it keeps telling me unsuccessful.

touch the four corners going clockwise, starting at the upper left. activation will be bypassed.
Sweet! Thanks. I went into a bootloop last night so when it would activate i was more then a little irritated. Lol

Is this ICS? I flashed 605 last night cause i read that if you flash 621 you cant go back. Does that even matter anymore? Should i just flash it?

Framaroot, yes, is an apk. install the apk, and choose the gimli option. it will tell you that root was sucessful, and to reboot your phone. after you reboot, install bootstrap from either dx, d2, or d3 (d3 is most up to date, no known updated recovery available?)
You are correct about the 605/621 sbf info. once you flash 621, you can't go back. there are ROMs for both versions. I don't have experience with 605, but yes, you can upgrade to ICS from 621. From what I've read, no one has successfully gotten a JB ROM (CM10, 10.1, or 10.2) to work. There are at least 2 ppl who are going to attempt a KK build. wether or not it boots and is functional, only time will tell.

Framaroot is an apk, place it on sd card, disconnect usb cable,
Go to menu>settings>apps> allow unknown sources
open file manager, click on framaroot, select install,

Any rom, except official cm7, updated in last year will install on 605 or 621
