To flash custom ROMs, you’ll need a custom recovery that offers more functionality than the stock recovery.

If you want this on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, read on and you’ll be rocking ClockworkMod Recovery (a very popular custom recovery) on your device in no time.
I. Before You Begin
1. You’ll need to be rooted before you can install custom recovery on your device. If you aren’t already rooted, use our guide on the same to help you.
2. Back up anything you feel is important before you begin.
3. Make sure that you have the necessary drivers installed on your Windows PC before you start; this will prevent any problems during the procedure and avoid bricking your device.
II. Necessary Downloads
2. CWM-P6800-20120710.tar {For the 3G version} [Download link available in this post]
