And I've got adb fully setup on both, already have all the files needed on IO tab so I just need to reboot into recovery but neither machine see it. KIES doest even see it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] moonzbabysh:
Anyone???

SGT 10.1 uplink initiative
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jaskru:
The best I can come up is to reinstall KIES.

I am assuming you are on a windows machine... can't really help you out much besides double checking your adb location and maybe rebooting your machine after installing KIES.

good luck.?.?.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Nimche:
One thing wasn't in the instruction but you should know it anyways but its good to have it there is

>>turn on usb debugging mode or device won't be found<<
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Jorsher:
Also, from within Kies be sure to click install device driver or whatever it's called.

I've already uninstalled the software so not 100% what it was called, but in the menu there's an item to install the drivers.

i rooted mine, and SU has been installed...but I still don't have root premissions in Busybox and Titanium. (pressing "problem" in Titanium doesnt do anything)

My SU doesn't seem to have permissions. How odd.

I just check adb shell and it returns as #.

Hmm...going to do a factory restore/data wipe and retry.

I got a question regarding rooting using ADB.

Is PDA.Net really necessary? I did not use it on rooting this device, my SGS2, my Charge, or my TB.

Actually, I'm not even entirely sure what PDA.net does other than finding drivers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] OneStepAhead:
I believe you answered your own question.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
Yea, but before watching a video, I never installed PDA.net for my SGS2, Charge, or TB.

Only had it installed for Galaxy Tab 10.1 Google I/O Edition.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
Both of those sites say Page not found! (errorCode:403)???

So let's say I root my I/O tab, is there any way to restore it back to factory?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yyhd:
As in removing root? Why would you want to do that? (just curious, not bashing)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] newbapotamous:
My wife just bought me the LE I/O SGT from ebay and the first thing i wanted to do was root it. Unfortunately, every webpage here seems to be either Error:403 or Error:404. Anybody have updated links for the downloads? Also, has anybody heard anything about the vanilla 3.1 update we are/were supposed to get? Please don't tell me this is going to be a disappointment like the original galaxy tab and not get any updates...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] blue13x:
Let's say when I want to sell it later and want to bring it to the orginal factory default state.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yay pie:
Did you already root it? If not just follow the directions in the ClockworkMod thread to boot CWM and take a backup of your system. Don't flash CWM, just use "fastboot boot clockwrkmod.img" to boot it that one time, so you don't lose the factory recovery image.

Then if you want to restore to stock do the same boot process, but this time restore the backup - and now you are unrooted.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] newbapotamous:
So I totally borrowed my mom's EeePC that's rocking an Intel Atom processor and Windows XP and used this method. It was a bit confusing for me at first since I have <b>NEVER</b> used ADB before... When all was said and done, this thing worked like a charm. Rooted, Titaniumed, Busyboxed, and SUed. Awesome work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] blue13x:
How would I boot to CWM and not flash CWM?

I have rooted my Xoom before, so it's not that unknown to me. But how would one just boot into Cwm instead going full flashing?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] yay pie:
Instead of using the command "fastboot flash recovery path_to_clockwork_recovery_file.img" run "fastboot boot path_to_clockwork_recovery_file.img"

That will boot CWM just that one time, and leave the stock recovery intact.

couple questions

hey guys - just waited on line today in union sq to pick up a couple 10.1s for my office and havin some issues.

i had no problem rooting my evo and working with adb from my mac but can't figure some stuff out.

when i boot into recovery (usb) mode like in the CW thread explained above there is no fastboot option.

also, any idea on how to root from adb on a mac without the exe in this thread? not sure if the version of the tab i have is so different that these methods won't work but rather ask first then break my **** :D

thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jeremydk:
Out of curiosity, what happens if you run "fastboot oem unlock"?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] wrxphantom:
Everything goes well until I gues to adb reboot recovery. that doesn't work. just gives me a battery icon.

I got my galaxy tab at the best buy today. CAN ANYONE HELP.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] anilkuj:
i have the exact same issue , cant get to recovery mode
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jeremydk:
Can you "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot oem unlock"?

If so, we can flash ClockworkMod and then flash root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] anilkuj:
even that powers off the system.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] smaskell:
maybe try turning on the device while holding volume down then doing "fastboot oem unlock"?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] wrxphantom:
fastbook doesn't work for me. says waiting for devices.

ADB works. WTF... lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jeremydk:
Could you post the results of running "adb shell mount"?

I'd love to compare Retail vs. I/O on that. I've got a few theories, but I don't have a tablet in hand yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
I had this happen to me and what i did was use Pershoots and others help to delete the drivers that I had installed and start over fresh using the drivers they said to use and just play around with installing the drivers and going into ADB and doing some reboots (adb reboot, adb reboot recovery, and if you can adb reboot bootloader) and one of those times i saw it load the fastboot drivers and I could at least load the recovery.img in fastboot.

Not much but it worked for me,,,this is the worst tab I have seen so far for mounting the internal drive to a computer or UMS.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
I wish i could tell you which driver install did it but when i followed this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14430093&postcount=59

and i had ADB working,,,,doing some reboots with it plugged into the computer eventually it installed the fastboot drivers.

I wish I could help more
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] blue13x:
Makes sense. But if you create a system backup image, wouldn't it be an image of a rooted device?

Isn't there away to make a non-rooted backup image?

That's why I prefaced my first post there with "If you haven't rooted it already" :)

If you've already pulled the trigger and flashed the .zip to root it, I assume yes, you're correct - your system.img would be rooted. I don't know how to back that out.

But if you have an unlocked bootloader and haven't touched anything else, and you just boot the CWM recovery rather than flash, I would think you should generate a clean backup.

I'd also assume though that when 3.1 drops on these things in a week or two, you'll lose your root and end up with a clean, unrooted 3.1 image you can start over with. But maybe someone else can answer that better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] trippedout:
3.1 came loaded onto this guy i picked up yesterday from best buy. image should be clean
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] smaskell:
Yes, we all know that. we're talking about the google i/o tab.

if you could get as an image from your tab though, that would be excellent
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] addisonhammer:
I found this on the galaxy tab 10.1v forum. I think it could help with the fastboot problems... but I don't have a galaxy tab yet :-(

has someone already tried this?

Insert the following lines of code into the Samsung driver .inf file before installing:

You will likely have to modify the vid/pid to match the 10.1 "skinny "

Good Luck!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
I have noticed after the 3.1 update that some of the functionality of clockwork and fastboot is limited. I have to shut my tab down and hold the power and volume button to boot into fastboot then plug it into my computer and verify that I have a fastboot connection and type fastboot boot recovery blab blah blah and it will boot into clockwork. Then I do what i have to and then i can not reboot from clockwork it ends up being a serious bootloop. I have to power down from clockwork and then turn on like normal, go figure???

To avoid confusion with the impending full release of the retail 10.1 Tab shouldn't the title of this thread be changed to:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xavierdylan:
has any one been able to root the retail galaxy tab 10.1?

Also does the retail galaxy tab 10.1 have an unlockable bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Fyahstarter:
I'm relatively new to all this stuff, but you all do realize that the retail Tab does NOT come with an unlockable bootloader, right? This has been mentioned quite a few times elsewhere already.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PhyerFly:
Having the same problem as many others here. ADB shows the device, I can push the zip file to the /sdcard/, but when I do adb reboot recovery the screen goes to black and then shows the battery charging animation in the center of the screen.

Holding the volume button and powering it on brings me to a yellow USB icon and a yellow Android with shovel. I've tried selecting both of them and don't have any option of selecting a zip file to flash.

This is on an I/O tab freshly updated to 3.1

Any ideas? Do I need to turn off USB debugging or something?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] djunio:
I haven't tried it myself but I'm sure you can ODIN to the IO bootloader and root it that way. Might be risky
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] judicious:
looks like no root success on the retail yet..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] nagmier:
Looks like it :( I have adb working but when I "adb reboot recovery" or "bootloader" I get the battery icon... willing to test
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PhyerFly:
I think the issue is people with the Google I/O Limited Edition are having the same "cant get into recovery" problem - which means can't follow the normal steps that include "adb reboot recovery" in order to get root.

It's not just retail, if I'm not mistaken it seems that SOME of the 10.1 tabs (I/O) had no problem rooting, but most others (like mine for example) can't. At least not with the instructions everyone else is using.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] :
Is there a definite way back to stock for retail tabs?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] used2hvatreo:
Has anyone else already verified this?

@PhyerFly

Have you tried flashing CWM now that you can get flashboot to work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Aali1011:
On the retail version the Volume Up button acts as an enter key. The Volume Down as a toggle. Trying to do what is outlined above is a EXTREMELY different. When you boot using the Power Button & Volume Down you get two icons. On the left is the recovery icon so a envelope looking thing with a droid in front of it and on the right is a droid icon with the word downloading in front of it. The right icon puts the unit into download mode and the left into recovery. From there idk what to do.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] used2hvatreo:
if you go to the recovery icon and hit enter what happens?

When i do that, it loads recovery, but when I try to update from sdcard, its says:

E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]

thats where I am stuck
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PhyerFly:
I haven't actually tried flashing it - I just booted into it to run the Root exploit so I could get Titanium and Adhoc wifi working. I'll give that a try and let you know what happens.

EDIT - So I tried the following command

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.img

And it said it executed successfully, but I don't think it actually worked because after a reboot I still don't see a recovery icon in the boot menu and adb reboot recovery still takes me to the battery animation. It's possible that I missed a step in there somewhere, but what I described didn't seem to have any effect.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Aali1011:
I get into recovery and that is about it. Idk myself what to do from there. I don't believe we have and zip file of any sort yet that can be mounted and installed via Samsung Recovery to get it full access.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] used2hvatreo:
You should be able to flash any update.zip once you are in recovery, but when I select that option it tells me that message from my earlier post
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] kathey:
No answer here, but couple of maybe helpful points.

1) after running "adb reboot recovery" ... the retail tab powers off and doesn't come back on. Pushing the power button (holding it a little) and letting go, shows you a battery charging (huge on the screen). you get this if it is still connected to the computer's usb slot. unplug it.

2) for those (like me) that couldn't get it into recovery screen... once it is unplugged from the PC usb slot, hold it in landscape mode with power button at upper left, push and hold the power button for a few seconds, let go... As soon as you see the Galaxy Tablet 10.1 wording on the screen, press and hold the left half of the volume rocker button. As long as you do this before you get to the "SAMSUNG" word screen you should soon see the "Android with envelope" and "Android downloading" icons described earlier. Hit that left volume rocker to select the "Android with envelope" icon, then hit the right volume rocker (which acts as an 'enter' key)... Now you should be in the Recovery Mode boot screen.

----- Note: if you hold the left volume rocker down too late, ie. when the "SAMSUNG" word is displayed, then it will continue to boot , but it will come up in "SAFE" mode. You can tell this because it will say "SAFE" on the bottom left of your screens... you will have to shutdown and reboot because there are things disabled in SAFE mode

3) Once you get into the Recovery Boot Screen, the volume rockers act as error up and down... the Power key is the 'enter' key. However now you are likely stuck (as I am)... because when I select the update from /sdcard option it goes to browse the /sdcard... but finds nothing because it is not mounted yet!!!

Question: when I am in #3 step... if you plug the usb back into the PC and run ADB devices, the tab will still show up... Is there a command to mount the /sdcard at this point? sorry, I'm now decades away from when I worked in unix and linux.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mattpall:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] DroidHam:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PhyerFly:
If you were following my steps from a few posts back then no. I was able to boot into CWM using "fastboot boot" but was never able to flash it and get it to do anything but the battery logo after "adb reboot recovery"

ADB Help

Need a little help......

I followed the CWM thread without any problem and got to the part that said "now root as if you have IO tab" which is why I'm here.....

I think there's something I'm missing moving to this thread. I dl'ed and installed the drivers, rebooted computer, dl'ed the root zip, but doesn't adb need some commands previous to "adb push .......etc"?

Admittedly, ADB is not my forte. Any help is appreciated!

OK, I have managed (I believe) to get the CWM img file onto the tablet. When I use the power and vol-dwn to boot I hold them until the icons appear, but it seems to go past the icons and into normal boot faster than I can get my fingers off the buttons.

How exactly do I get it to boot to the icons and stop there so I can select?

Also, what is the step once there, to get it into Clockwork Recovery?

If I connect to the PC and do adb reboot recovery, I get the screen with the battery.

update:

With the battery screen showing, and connected to the PC, I held down power + vol-dwn and it went to the icons, then I was able to select the envelope and select and it dropped me into ClockworkMod Recovery!

So, now onto rooting.
