Just wondering if any of these people with a "locked" GT 10.1 have device encryption enabled? I've read several articles about the I/O version having problems with an OTA update when the owner had the device encrypted. Might explain lack of an unlock symbol as well.

Just a thought...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] droxid:
I don't have my tab encrypted. :( but Im still locked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Aali1011:
Ok so a bit confused used this thread to get recovery onto the tab. Went without a hitch and mad props to shep. Ok now as far as root is concerned I am SOOOOO LOST. How do you use ADB. I installed it and everything and tried following the directions in the other thread but nothing. I tried putting the su/busybox/misc zip along with galaxy tab root zip on the tab and running them through clockwork but no luck. anybody got a quick explanation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
attempting this now on my retail metallic gray 16GB with the unlocked sign at boot, wish me luck.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ikon8:
Just download pershoot's tools zip and put it on your sdcard then flash it from recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ericc191:
Anyone else regret trying to do a full backup, lol? part14 has taken over 45 minutes so far... and still counting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Framedtrash:
Has this worked for any one with the locked symbol on there device ??

Ill be importing a unit to Australia this week and would hate to import one that cant get root
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
**** that is where i am at and am getting impatient.

I ended up stopping it and restated it before I went to bed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] nagmier:
As some others have stated, I have a retail 10.1 locked and willing to test whats needed as long as instructions can be provided
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Aali1011:
doesn't work for me. Can't seem to figure it out
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] klebs89:
The lock means it's unlocked. Every success has had that symbol. It's those of us without it that are still waiting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] URPREY:
Mine now shows a negative number for the data it's pulling from partition 14. Ugh
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
mine is at 145xxxxxxx out of 1588068352 so hopefully done soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
well **** now I am at 178xxxxxxx out of 1588068352 so now I don't know what tot hink.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
and now negative numbers. dammit. is there any harm in cancelling the script from running?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] URPREY:
Mine was negative now back to positive. I'm going to leave it for a while
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
how big is the part14.img file on your computer? mine is up to 7.2GB now. FYI windows 7 makes me refresh the explorer window twice before it shows the correct file size.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] shep211:
You can cancel but make sure to delete the unfinished file. I had the same issue with partition 14.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
ok thanks will do this
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] URPREY:
Mine is 7.2GB right now also. Wow
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
cancelled part14 download, then ran the command to flash the recovery. seems to be stuck here now:

C:\nvflash>nvflash --resume --download 8 stockIOrecovery.img

Nvflash started

[resume mode]

how long should it be sitting there?

P.S. looking at windows task manager nothing is going on. nvflash is running but its not using any cpu.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Aali1011:
You guys keep me posted when you go to install tools from pershoot. I got SU on the device but titanium backup isn't seeing anything. Very interesting
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] URPREY:
Did you rerun the bootloader command before trying to run the nvflash command again?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
rebooted the tab and it is working now
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
worked! cwm working and rooted. thanks everyone!

is there a way to boot to recovery easily from within honeycomb? some sort of tool or functionality that most custom roms and rom manager have builtint?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Framedtrash:
you should be able to do it from within rom manager
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
ROM manager is complaining because I didn't flash cwm through it. And the override doesn't list 4.x so I am afraid to try it. I found an app called quick boot that works, thanks.

EDIT: So got brave, and decided to flash 4.0.0.4 through ROM manager (even though i already have 4.0.0.4 installed, it just didnt detect it. everything appears to be working including the reboot options in rom manager. now on to try a nandroid backup via rom manager.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xtkxhom3r:
so mine says usb write failed when i try to do the nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go

command

does this mean im ****ed?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] klebs89:
A very good thread for those of us with locked boot loaders, courtesy of Riztnack. I am currently enjoying root and CWM on my locked retail 16gb.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Aali1011:
Got mine working finally thanks to some help from EvoXOhio. Pershoots' zip wasn't taking so i wiped cache and used the root zip from the i/o thread. Worked like a charm. Thanks Pershoot and Shep
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] URPREY:
I'm rooted with CWM now! A huge thanks to shep211 and pershoot as well as everyone who provided hints along the way.

Aside from waiting for the partitions to back up, I think this was the easiest root I've done so far (thanks to all the hard work you guys put in!)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] brewski30:
What size does the part14.img end up being? Mines at 18.5 Gigs right now and still going.

need help installing root on the tab

Your done and you should have custom recovery. Now install root as if you have a i/o tablet :P[/QUOTE]

someone help please i'm new to all of this. i did everything in the post now this part i don't understand how to do, what to i use to install root as if i have i/o tablet. please explain this to me how to do the last step thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Framedtrash:
zozodouce

i believe you flash this from your new custom recovery HERE
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] zozodouce:
help me i dont know how to flash

what do i use? how do i flash?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] seraph1024:
For those of us with 0x4 errors, I believe it's related to SBK (Secure Boot Key) on the tablet. I am having the exact same issue with an IO tablet (yes fully IO that Samsung exchanged out for me).

Just a thought. I am too tired to surf forums right now. Hopefully someone find a way out soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ericc191:
Can someone their backup nvflash boot image? I can no longer get into recovery. My tab just keeps going into ODIN.

"Error: Android boot image not found!!!"

Reason: No Kernel

Secure Mode: Nonsecure

EDIT: NM, fixed it! I have soft bricked this tablet 3 times today all in different ways. What did I do after fixing my last brick? Well, I used to have a TF and wondered if paul@modaco's Transformer Recovery Reboot would work. Nope. But it's okay cause this thing is unbrickable.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] nagmier:
This worked for me!!! Rooted with Cwm installed on a locked bootloader retail 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Riztnack:
Glad to hear that this worked for you
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] jvanbrecht:
You have effectively screwed every one of us with this statement.. the mere note that it is unbrickable will now result in a flood of every single one of us with bricked devices...

Way to go there :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] seraph1024:
I've bricked one already. I think I know how I can brick them. I can brick yours too. The only difference is that mine was the IO unit. Any electronics can be bricked. Just give people time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] judicious:
Question about Retail 10.1

just to clarify, after following the instructions here, I would need to root it with these instructions, correct?

Do I still need to install su/busybox/etc?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Sandelb:
Yep, you've got it right.

No real need to install the tools, won't hurt anything though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
do not install the tools if you root with those instructions. if you use those instructions, remove what was done by that procedure prior to installing the tools.

the tools will root yourself (+ root boot (so you get back adb reboot|recovery|bootloader|root shell), give you a full busybox envmt, bash, dropbear vi/vim, ssh, etc., etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] judicious:
Thank you both of you for the clarifications!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ericc191:
Then I got pretty lucky considering how stupid it was of me to see if the "Asus Transformer Recovery Boot" would work.

What did you do to brick yours?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] shep211:
You cant brick a unlocked tablet if you know how to do a recovery in nvflash. Thank nvidia for that feature. They built apx/nvflash into bootrom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bucketachicken:
So which is preferable after installing CWR? Flashing the tools, or following the IO root guide? Or am I not understanding correctly?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Sandelb:
Not really sure why shep said not to install the tools. He may mean that you shouldn't flash the tool pack in lieu of flashing the i/o root. This is what I did:

Follow the instructions in this thread

Follow instructions in the i/o root thread

Flash the tools

The only weird thing I've encountered is ROM Manager doesn't ask for root and when attempting to flash 4.0.0.4 through RM (just so RM will recognize I do actually have CWR on the device) it throws the error occurred/insufficient privilege message. I certainly have root (titanium and ad free both asked for it and work fine) so dunno what's up with that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Akarim47:
can you post the instruction for Ubuntu?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] seraph1024:
it's the same as windows version. All commands are interchangeable. If you can not figure that out, I don't mean to be an ass but you should not be doing this. Don't screw up a perfectly fine device. Just root it and be happy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] seraph1024:
Dropped it. And tried to flash ODIN3 image for 10.1v. When I dropped it, i guess something came loose because when I press on the screen hard, random apps runs. :D :D

No adb, no fastboot, USB mounts sometimes, recovery worked. I sent it in and they sent me a new IO unit. Box and all (nice android at the back) but fully locked bootloader. 0x4 issue on nvflash. I'll wait. I have time. I develop apps (windows phone android etc). I have not play with making ROMs for years.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Akarim47:
thanx but i just want to be careful, I'm not a Linux expert just trying to get a way from windows but it seems all the instruction are for windows.

I haven't received mine so I'm just reading about it before it gets here.

I need the root but it would better with CWM
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Riztnack:
Any way we can take an unlocked retail tab and extract the boptloader and flash the new bootloader via Odin?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] killerb69:
This method worked perfectly on 32gb retail unlocked logo on splash version.

Thanks so much!!

Sending from the tab now!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] shep211:
It wont work. That didn't work even for unlocked version. Best chance is nvflash with secure key but really don't know since I have not played with locked version yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] hackermail:
Sorry for the noob question, I picked up 16gig model yesterday.

How do I find out if my tablet us locked it not?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mark1962nc:
When your tab boots up does to display a little lock at the bottom middle of screen (little lock is actually unlocked).

If so, people on these threads think this probably means you're unlocked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] MisterEdF:
Trying to do a backup. When I get to part 10 it goes through about 20% of the total download then just stops dead (seems to be hung up). Can't get through part 10. I let it sit for 10 or so minutes, nothing. No drive activity either.

I break out of NVFLASH, reboot everything and start again, Same thing. Right now it is "stuck" at 117116928/606076928.

I'm afraid to skip the backup and just move forward with root.

Unlocked BTW.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Is there something I can do to help? Need me to provide a dump of my system?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] seraph1024:
Power up and press the left vol while powering up. If you see USB and update(odin) you have unlocked version. If you see recovery and update (odin), you have a locked device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ipatella:
Thanks for this. Worked like a charm.

I'm confused now. I have the unlock symbol on boot. If i use the hardbuttons, my options are recovery and odin. I have root, su tibu and all that, and I did it all through the nvflash method. I thought if it was locked that wouldn't work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] drae52:
Worked great Shep mad props.

Unlocked 16gig metallic from best buy.

Then I rooted using the IO method posted.

Worked like a charm. My nandroid back-up buggered a bit..

Anyone else have this issue or care to explain what I am seeing? I assume it's because of no external SD card; but if it's skipping backing up my apps... that's half the reason I back-up!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
Your backup is fine.

It didn't find .secure so it skipped it.

Restore the backup to test validity, if you have doubt.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] drae52:
Thanks Pershoot, what exactly did it skip?

And no I don't doubt ya, but I will try it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
exactly what it said. the .secure (where apps get installed if moving install location).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
Alright, so any news/rumors of anyone developing some custom ROMS or kernels? I LOVE my tablet but it could stand to be a bit faster and less laggier. When I had the Xoom and and rooted and installed the Tiamat kernel and overclocked to 1.4, the lag was completely gone everywhere - even typing in the browser. The Xoom was so fast it was like a new machine. The only reason I returned it was it was too expensive, too heavy, and the screen was awful. The Galaxy tab beats it in every areas.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Sandelb:
Heh, we only got root on the retail GTs a few days ago. Such is the price us early adopters pay. I can guarantee there are peeps out there working on custom roms.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
I just asked because the I/O model has been out awhile and rootable since day 1. Just testing the waters. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Sandelb:
You can go here and peruse the devs work on custom kernels. Soon as they can get the source code they can start tinkering away.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] :
is there a definite way back to stock for retail?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
yes.

you restore your CWM/nandroid backup (if you made any mods to system (assuming you took one as the first thing)), enter nvflash and flash back the stock recovery. if you did not use CWM/nandroid for backup, then just flash back your nvflash backup images.

if you took no backup images, ask someone in this thread who took backups for their images.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] MisterEdF:
I wasn't able to backup all of mine.

\When I get to part 10 it went through about 20% of the total download then just stops dead (seemed to be hung up). Couldn't get through part 10. I let it sit for 10 or so minutes, nothing. No drive activity either.

I broke out of NVFLASH, reboot everything and start again, Same thing. It "stuck" at 117116928/606076928.

I ended up rooting anyway but the issue concerns me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
you dont need to do a full backup via nvflash.

backup your recovery, flash cwm via nvflash, boot cwm and take a full nandroid backup.

your done.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] shep211:
Good advice since some people are having issues backing up with nvflash. I have removed full nvflash back up instructions and added cwm full nandroid backup to section 6 before rooting. This should be a lot easier since most people have used nandroid backup before.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lootes:
Thanks! Worked like a charm on my retail 32gb. I did have the padlock symbols so was unlocked. Nandroid done and ready to play.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] dsEVOlve:
Just to verify, everyone is copying their nandroid backups somewhere externally. Factory reset clears the internal "sdcard" correct?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] pershoot:
Factory reset in cwm does not touch media.

Factory reset in stock recovery clears media.

But yea, you should back that up elsewhere as well, in case data becomes corrupted and you have to purge it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] neonflx:
so if i get the error code it means i have a locked tab, and can't be rooted just yet, thx
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bella92108:
Okay, so yeah, I'm going to be "that dumbass" in this thread...

Can someone simplify the a-z process for rooting the Tab 10.1 retail version? Or is there a video step-by-step available yet?

I'm sure to most people, this is very straight forward, but to me it's not, and some of the other devices I've rooted have had very concise step by step directions. I'm guessing because this is so new it's kinda been thrown together really quick, but if someone could dumb it down into a post, or show a video how-to, I think it'd be hugely beneficial to the community.

Thanks!

In Post #2 it says to install the I/O Recovery. On a Retail 10.1 tablet should the retailrecovery.img be substituted at Step 4?

Does the retailrecovery get installed and then the CWM recovery get installed, or is the idea to install the CWM Recovery instead of the retailrecovery (skipping Step 4)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Archangel:
Dude that rocks!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] bballer71418:
Will just the sheer power of over clocking fix the minor lag problems or will future scripts in the kernel be needed? Either way, a custom kernel this fast sounds amazing.

Not sure exactly what the use is but will it include GPU overclocking like the xoom? I understand this is the first of many improvements but is that in the plan? What exactly does it do?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
Thank you! I can't wait.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] EvoXOhio:
The tiamat kernel running at 1.4ghz completely got rid of the xoom's lag. Not sure if it was the speed or something in the kernel that did it.

Hi.

I cant find my awnser anywhere so hope some1 knows it.

I bricked my phone 2 days ago.

i finally got a rom installed. 2.1 update1.

but now if i wanna reboot it goes to HTC logo with 4 triangles in the corner.

If i want to go to recovery only works with fastboot.

Bootloader wont start with the buttons.

its hboot 93 S-off

i tried to reflash it everthing.

Nothing helps to normally start recovery or the bootloader.

so i cant put my phone off otherwise i have to connect it to the computer and type FASTBOOT OEM BOOT.

then it starts again.

otherwise only HTC with 4 triangles

PLEAS help.

Well indeed its a stock rom. but no luck yet to get the bootloader properly back.

and use search well. didn't you think i didn't searched yet.

only thing they say is use the buttons to get in bootloader.

well i cant .

Bootloader says all info except the options

its only saying RUU

I tried diffrent RUU roms but none worked.

i cant figure out witch 1 is good.
