Want to be a hero? Compile Clockwork Recovery for Galaxy Tab!

[Fabolous]

Koush has a guide written up on how to compile Clockwork for new devices here:

My Brain Hurts: Porting Clockwork Recovery to New Devices

I think the toughest part is figuring out how to dump the boot img, because I'm pretty sure the SGT doesn't use MTD, so Koush's dump_image binary won't work.

I'll be giving this a shot tonight, but I encourage anyone more experienced/knowledgeable to give it a try!

The faster we get a recovery on this thing, the sooner we'll see themes and ROMS!

I'd be very happy for you to be posting posotive results today.

You can easily get the partitions.
Just obtain root in recovery.

dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/bml1.img

You can try without root as well.

There has to be somebody out there capable of doing this.

I have a linux box I'd be more than happy to compile it on; I just don't want to brick my shiny new SGT

Have you rooted it yet?

There are several programs that will do it.

If you want a tester to apply the recovery when you compile it I am happy to do that. I'm not shy. LOL

The issue is if I #$%^ up the recovery, won't it be sort of hard to reflash a good image?

If you keep a flash of the recovery as an Update.zip it will flash from hboot. If you blow up recovery it can still be reflashed.
