[Galaxy Tab General] Stu_Gotti:
Because I find it important to share what I learned, here are the steps I followed, in as best detail as I can, to obtain root, CwM 3.0, and Spacemoose1's HC Alpha 2.5 build:

First of all a few things to note, some of which is specified above in my previous posting, replace the SD card with another one that’s not from Samsung (as it appears this caused several issues). Odin 1.7 (with .pit) and Heimdall (with 1.1.1 binaries) are your best friends, download them both. Make sure for using Heimdall you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86). For Odin make sure you have the EA24 .tar, this will be your get out of jail free card if you mess something up (Lord knows I’ve done this like 20 times trying). This simply allows you to reflash your Sprint Tab back to EA24 and you can start over.

Here are the steps I followed to get to where I am now:

-- Took the OTA updates from DJ30 (out of the box at this) to EA24 (eventually started here after using Odin several times) to EB28.

-- Enabled USB debugging (always important to have this one on and, if you’re like me, stay awake so I don’t let the thing fall asleep on me and unknown sources).

-- Obtained root with SuperOneClick (this is very easy to do, literally one click root) and rebooted as specified by SuperOneClick’s direction. I verified root by observing Super User in my apps and downloading terminal emulator, typing “su” in the window and selecting enter to be shown # to verify root.

-- I downloaded the latest and greatest kernel (zImage) and ROM from Spacemoose1’s build thread and placed a copy of the zImage file on my desktop for quick access and the ROM on my SD card of the Tab.

-- Next I unplugged the device from the computer, powered down, and put it in to download mode by holding down the power button and volume down until the shoveling android is shown. I then plugged in my device to the computer and opened up my Heimdall folder I extracted to my desktop and navigated to the Drivers folder and double-clicked the zadig.exe to install the drivers. I selected options and list all devices. From the drop down I selected Samsung USB Composite Device and selected install drivers. If everything goes well it will say drivers are installed successfully.

-- I didn’t leave download mode, I proceeded to flash the zImage file from Heimdall. I opened Heimdall Frontend and, on the left side of the application, selected browse to find the zImage file I placed on my desktop. I ensured the checkbox to the left of the field was checked and selected start. If everything is successful it will flash your kernel and reboot in to recovery and freeze at the Samsung logo. I held down the power button for about 8 seconds until the screen cut off. When the battery icon was shown (with the green color showing amount of charge) I held down the power and volume up button to enter recovery mode. It will attempt to backup and fail, don’t sweat it. Wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache, then reboot the Tab. It will freeze at the Samsung logo again; just hold power down for about 8 seconds until it turns off. When the battery icon is shown (with the green color showing amount of charge) I held down the power and volume up button to enter recovery mode. This time the device will resume backing up and complete successfully. Once it’s completed, to flash Honeycomb you will need to select install zip from SD card and then select zip from SD and choose the latest ROM that you downloaded and placed on your SD card. It will flash so let it do its thing. It will reboot and eventually load Honeycomb.
