Kies on the mac is just that. Kies for the mac. The steps for this tutorial and the files for this tutorial are all for the windows environment so getting Kies up and running wont help the windows recognition of the hardware through the virtualization software.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] lostinbeta:
My previous post sounded a bit pompous, it was not my intention if anyone takes it that way and I apologize in advance. I was just trying to say that connecting devices to windows via virtualization software still relies on drivers and connections in windows the same as it would on a windows system and that Kies would not be able to assist in that connection through the mac environment.

if you got locked bootloader. you need the secure key!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] aSeeker:
I notice from some of the posts that 10.1v appears during part of the process - Has anybody tried this on a 10.1v model?

We're stuck with HC 3.01 at the mo :/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] shep211:
If it has tergra chipset, unlocked bootloader and working nvflash then yes you can. You may have different partition table so check that first to make sure where your sos partition is.

I had to return my tab :( I got a new job and will be out of work until I get my house rented and move to new location. I had renters setup but the bailed at the last moment. I just got the evo 3d and tab. My wife wanted me to return one of them since money will be tight until i start my new job. I need a phone so I had to return the tab. I hope to get a tab again once I start working again and get settled in.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] joeski27:
Can't get APX device to show up!??!

nevermind, got it working, all rooted up ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] whitesedan:
Great work! Just got my tab rooted.

Just a quick question, will it be the same way to put it back to stock bootloader and stock recovery? I should just replace it with the backup file name correct?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] lassegs:
Connect to proper USB port

Finally got it to work. I was stuck at 2 # 17 with a "usb write failed" error. I connected the tablet to one of the USB ports on the front of my computer. When I tried the exact same steps, only now connecting the tablet to one of the main USB ports on the back of the computer, everything worked as expected.

Hope this helps some of you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Akarim47:
need help here,

I followed all the steps and everything works fine, i can boot to CWM and do stuff but the only issue I had was installing the rom manager from the market.

I side loaded the rom manager and now when i run it it ask to install CWM recovery before I can do anything with, should I flash it again? is it safe?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] shep211:
If you can return it then get it and I will try to help you unlock it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] interqd:
thx for your greatness, but unfortunately i didnt get the tab today, only 1200 pcs was there, and i came late :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Akarim47:
any idea if i should flash the recovery again from rom manager or not?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Knight2011:

Thanks

I have my tablet in a black solid state but when I connect it to the Pc it gets the apx and I installed the drivers and recognized it as an apx device. I have a galaxy tab 10.1 p 7510 and nothing to do to recover it, with this method will I recover the tab or it wouldn't work for my tablet

Ok so my Galaxy has the "Sleep of Death" so this is what I get:

Based on this I get that the Sleep of death is that my bootloader is broken... by the way it is a 32 Gib Galaxy tab that was unloocked...

So my question is.. is there anything that can be done to fix or re-flash the boot loader... or to restore it?

Please help me.. ohh and by the way I don't get anything on my screen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] condorazul:
same problem lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] hshah:
Just did this on mine and now the boot image says "10.1V". Is that normal?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PhantomHacker:
Yes, some get that. Its fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] iTouch24:
are there any methods like this for unlocked bootloader devices that can be performed from MAC?

there are so many methods around this forum that it is confusing ... makes it so hard to find out which method to perform

i have the bestbuy US bought bootloader unlocked version .. i think this is the correct thread that will work to receive recovery

then i found this site as well

http://www.techofweb.com/technology/rooting-galaxy-tablet-10-1.html

seems allot less steps to perform to get root

1. Download and Install ADB shell on your computer.

2. Your computer must have the drivers for Galaxy Tab 10.1. For this, install Samsung Kies application, which will add the required drivers to your pc.

3. Download the tool needed for rooting purposes from our channel [here]

4. Connect your tablet to the pc.

5. Go to the directory where you have saved the downloaded file from Step3. Open command prompt and enter below commands as shown in below image:

adb push Rooting-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1.zip /sdcard/Rooting-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1.zip

adb reboot recovery

Rooting Galaxy Tab 10.1

6. The above commands will boot your tablet into recovery mode.

7. Use the arrow keys for moving up/down and power key to select.

8. Select ‘apply update from /sdcard’ and select your zip file.

9. You will have your 10.1 as now rooted :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] robobear:
and you are lucky dude.. cause i'm the 'lucky' guy no. 237 that got a LOCKED tab... so no CWM right now.. samsung SIALAN!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Cambxo:
Easy method easily rooted my unlock tablet i got yesterday. Thanks:-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] evolishesh:
One question. why root the tab(I got one by the way) is there a good reason to do it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] iTouch24:
i was asking myself the same thing. There are more then a handful of reasons why i see rooting my android phone but the tablet i am not seeing that many benefits. Maybe it is just too ealy.

There arent many ROMs and Themes.

with root u can

take screenshots

place on new kernel .. which i think u can anyway for those that have bootloader unlocked by default

can use titanium bakup and rom manager

install linux

not really sure how u would use titanium backup .. it backs up phone to sdcard on device but wouldnt that be deleted once u wiped and cleared phone...???

not sure how that whole internal sd card thing works yet

i know on a phone it is two different procedures to delete .. internal and sd card

i am a noob still on the tablet side so maybe someone can list all the benefits of rooting device ..

i am trying to get my mac to recognize my tablet .. if root would give me that functionality to transfer files to it then i will be rooting
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] RikR:
One reason, which was important to me, was so that you can change the wifi to add the ad hoc capability allowing to wireless tether to the phone.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] evolishesh:
You right, but I'm still not fully wow by the idea of rooting the tab. I have an evo that's is rooted. There were many reason on to why root the evo , but for the tab I don't see one just yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tallgrasshawk:
Thanks guys! Successfully rooted my 10.1. Now eagerly awaiting more development for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bluefire808:
ok so i did everything up untill im suppose to see a APX device listed with a error. i dont see anything in device manager with a error or anything that says APX. can some one please help me out. i just searched on how to figure that part out for 3 hours and give up. please be detailed thank you
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PookiePrancer:
Took me three attempts to get to that point...not sure why. I finally rebooted my Tab, connected it to the PC, then disconnected it and proceeded with the OP instructions from the beginning. On the last attempt, I waited a couple of minutes, and then refreshed Device Manager to see if the errored Apx showed up, which it did.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] 4g evo:
when i connect to my computer in device manager APX does not come up only cdc and samsung_android iv went though the steps 5 times. i am using windows 7 64 bit any ideas?

Edit-nevermind i got it
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] cheema:
I was able to quickly install CWR with the instructions supplied. And then struggled for quite a long time to get into recovery. I did not know how. The original post would be immensely more useful if information on how to enter into recovery was added to it.

For my retail 10.1 tablet "adb reboot recovery" simply does not work. And it appears that there are others in the same boat. The detailed multi-finger dance that must be performed precisely, at boot time, to get into recovery, probably should be documented here.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bluefire808:
Ahh I never did get a error message in device manager. The driver worked perfectly from the get go. CWM, SU, BUSY BOX. All the works installed and are running flawlesly

"hold on to your dookie, its about to get spooky"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SirSigma:
Can anyone help me out? I think I might have messed this up due to lack of clarification on some of the steps.

After using "nvflash --resume --download 8 recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.img" as normal, with no real problems, my Tab suddenly rebooted and turned on. I thought that seemed kind of strange so I got it back into APX mode and tried it a second time, and the same thing happened, so I guessed it was normal, since there was nothing saying that the Tab would restart on me.

Then I tried figuring out how to reboot into recovery with the tab, and when I figured out I had to hold vol down and power, I tried just that, but I only get the boot screen and the picture of the Android near a box right next to a flashing icon of the Android logo that says "Downloading..." beneath it. If I hold the buttons too long, it shows me the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" screen again and then shows me the box and flashing Android for a split second, and then it repeats. But now I let go of it at the right time and have it with the flashing android and the downloading box. I don't understand if this is a bad thing or not, and I don't know what it's even downloading if it is getting anything.

And I made sure the command on cmd finished successfully on pushing the recovery to my tab (this only happened after section 4 of the guide; everything was going smoothly before that). Any ideas or suggestions? I'm kind of a novice when it comes to rooting tablets and I'm a little confused.

EDIT: lol sometimes I feel like an idiot when it comes to this stuff, but I'll post clarification so others in the same boat as me can avoid feeling dumb about this.

The flashing was a cursor and I was able to use vol down to move it and vol up to select, and selecting the box gets you into ClockworkMod. Heh.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Roadk1ng:
Correct I had the same issue but found the answer reading through the post.:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Ahodson1985:
I also tried this, step for step, but after the recovery step, it just reboots into android as normal. It doesn't boot into recovery =/ So for whatever reason the file isn't taking or something. Help?

Edit: Nevermind! Found my answer. Was trying to use adb reboot recovery, but that wasn't working. Only way I was able to get it working was to do volume down + pwr to boot it, then release the pwr button when the image showed, then use volume down to select the update/vol up to enter, then after that everything went flawlessly! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] fjevel:
So... First of all a big thank you to the ones involved in making this happen.

Second; anyone else see their 10.1 show 10.1v on boot after installing this, as mine did... :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] je2345:
Could some one guide me to an easier method to flashing back to complete stock? Wanna return tablet to best buy so i can go to staples and use that $100 coupon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] used2hvatreo:
Use the ota 3.1 thread to get back to stock rom, then reverse the steps given in this thread to return ur recovery back to stock recovery. Then just do factory reset in stock recovery.

Done
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Raistlin1:
Just got a GT last night from Staples, how do I tell if it is unlocked and that I will be able to root?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] used2hvatreo:
What you would generally do is read this thread and others like it, and your question would be answered before you posted it and space would in the thread wouldn't be wasted on answering questions over and over again.

With that said, when you boot your device up, the first thing you will see is a screen that either has an unlocked lock on the bottom center, or it doesn't.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Raistlin1:
I have been reading threads all morning regarding various things related to the GT including my question and did not fully understand how to tell. I guess I should have asked, is there another way to tell if it is unlocked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Berner:
There is one way to check.

1. Reboot your Tab.

2. Look for the (unlocked) lock icon on the bottom:

3. Did you see it? Yes: unlocked. No: locked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Raistlin1:
Thanks, I don't recall seeing it when I started it last night but I wasn't looking for it. Just a bit strange that it is the only way to tell if it is unlocked.

Edit: Damn, no unlocked lock at bootup for me. That kinda sucks...

Thanks for the screen shot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PookiePrancer:
That's about as good an answer as anyone could ask for. These forums do get confusing, though. I think, in part, on the fact that there's so many ways to arrive at the same conclusion, and we all can't seem to settle on what the "best" one is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Berner:
Thanks. Sometime a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] z31k:
I have tried everything... I can't get cwm recovery. I odin flashed the recovery, I even tried to push it through adb.. I also tried this method posted by the op.. What am I doing wrong? All I get is the odin and usb option.. I can't get the recovery option. Can anyone please help me? I have a SGT 10.1 I/O.. This **** is killing me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mughalgxt:
Why not flash a stock rom go into recovery flash pershoot's su rooting tools. Zip file and install the clockworkmod recovery from rom manager app in the appstore?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] z31k:
I'm on it... Will post results later, thanks for the help.. :)

You are the man!!! Thank you sooo much!!! I'm now rooted with cwm... I have been dying to try out touch wiz.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] z31k:
Yep, It will not go into CWM... It goes into odin and upload mode...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] rleonard55:
Alright everyone (especially OP), I just finished my first attempt at rooting an android device (besides temp root on my 3Vo). Just wanted to say thanks for all the work, I was certainly nervous about potentially creating a $600 paper weight but after reading through the steps, I decided to give it a shot. It worked perfectly on the first attempt! Directions were great and everything went off without a hitch.

Thanks button hit

–from my unlocked retail SGT10.1(32gb) >> now rooted with Netflix and Hulu working great.:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Grommish:
You said you had a GT I/O, you have/had fastboot.

Does anyone have the stock patition 8 for retail unlocked? I saved mine, but the drive died..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] used2hvatreo:
OK, so here's whats up man. You have flashed the recovery partition, giving you CWM. What you see when you boot is your bootloader, which is the IO version, which means you have fastboot and odin as your options.

To get to recovery, you need to use ADB on a computer, or reboot recovery in a terminal editor on your tablet, or gscript, which is an awesome app that does the commands for you. try reboot recovery and let us know what that gives you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] z31k:
Will do. Thanks for the help.. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mughalgxt:
Try flashing bootloader.tar.md5 from stock euro touchwiz rom (unselect re-partition else you'll loose nvflash, bootloader lock) and when in bootloader you will have recovery and download option!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jamal@Access:
method worked perfect when i rooted my tab. brought my wife one and she didn't want me to root hers - she flashed the new TW update and hates it! and is blaming me for updating her tab. now she wants to go back to stock and i am wondering will these same steps work on a unrooted tab that has been updated with touch wiz? one thing that does suxs is that her bootloader got lock!

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] njfoses:
This method should work for you even with a locked bootloader now, http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jamal@Access:
thanks but what about the method from OP? kind of curious because I've done the following steps when I rooted my previous tab and wondering if i use the same method should i wipe and re due these steps on my wife's tab or will i be able to skip them? (referring to the files already on my computer from when i rooted my tab)

Section 1: cmd prompt setup

1: Download files

2: Extract nvflash folder to c:\

3: Open c:\nvflash then right click in side c:\nvflash folder and select create shortcut

4: Type cmd then enter enter

Section 2: Putting tablet in nvflash ADX mode

7: Open device manager and look for APX Device listed with an error

8: Right click on the APX device

9: Select 'Update driver software'

10: Select 'Browse my computer...'

11: Select 'Let me pick...'

12: Select 'Have disk'

13: Browse to c:\nvflash\usbpcdriver and make sure use sub folders is checked

14: Select NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices

15: Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC)

16: Now in Device Manager under USB Controllers you should have an NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] njfoses:
Im not sure if the tab will enter nvflash mode with a locked bootloader with tw as this method would not work on hc with a locked bootloader. It may work, give it a shot but the method i posted should be easier for you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Grommish:
Yah, so.. Nevermind.. I found what I was looking for in the rightly named "FilesForDummies" archive..

"Does anyone have a stock part8.img they can post from the Retail Unlocked? I pulled mine and have since had a drive crash.. I need to throw it back on there"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] kuroshiro:
Where is this? My tab is unlocked, currently bootlooping. Tab won't show up in adb devices at all. I've tried flashing the one rom via odin and it makes no difference. When I boot with power+left, I get usb symbol and odin options. I *cannot* boot the thing normally so I need a solution that doesn't rely on adb.

Ok, found a link, leaving this posted in case this doesn't work and someone has a better idea.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] kuroshiro:
Ok, I flashed the bootloader, and I can get into clockwork now. I wiped all the caches and reset to factory settings, but it still just bootloops. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] kuroshiro:
oh, and my bootloader's locked now. :P and I specifically did not select repartition so idk what happened. :P

update: I ended up flashing the full stock euro rom via odin and that brought it back. however my bootloader is still locked (I guess I'm screwed on that front?).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Is there a way to root the galaxy tab using a linux machine yet? Can't seem to find anything after searching for days.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Noppes123:
No matter what I try, it always ends with a USB write error at the first nvflash command. Tried different USB ports like another poster suggested. Retried the whole procedure multiple times, but no luck.

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7500 (WiFi+3G), European version, locked.

Trying this on Windows 7 x64.

The driver installed just fine and is shown when connecting the Tab. But as soon as I run nvflash and get the error, the driver is gone from the Device Manager list because the device seems to disconnect.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] durius:
Same problem her as Noppes123...Help please
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Grommish:
Why not just use the ODINable cwm flash? Nvflash was useful during the first 2 weeks from release until the locked tabs started showing up. ODIN the bish..

Do a search for "files for dummies". Has odin, stock recovery and cwm recovery..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] HandOfReform:
shep, you are a pro, MANY thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Step666:
This whole bit can be replaced by holding down shift and right-clicking in the NVflash folder and selecting 'Open command window here'.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Grommish:
It has to be an Admin rights cmd. Dos the open do it as admin?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] marksnet:
I'll try one last time.

Is there a "how to" on getting root on the Verizon ST 10.1 LTE 4G version?

If so what is the process. I have tried 3 different methods and still no dice.

Thanks any help is appreciated and ANYONE that is willing to spend some time with me via, skype, gtalk, whatever... I will damn sure pay you!!!

Thanks

What are the steps with nvFlash to get this thing back to complete stock?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Grommish:
You can reflash stock recovery with ODIN. No need to repush the file with nvflash. Unless you just wanna.
