Yes you can do that. I just rooted mine without any issues with the touchwiz update, though I hate touchwiz. Now I'm looking for a good rom that doesn't have it.

It looks like all the Roms at the beginning of this thread have touchwiz. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good one prior to touchwiz?

TW is visually horrendous and has killed any performance in my GT.

Just wanted to say thanks to OP for great rooting guide. Bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 today, and was looking forward to rooting and installing custom roms.

Coming from a couple Android phones and devices, I'm familiar with rooting, but I have to say this is the simplest method I've used!

For those of you wondering, I did it with the TouchWiz update already installed on my device, and just make sure to read every step multiple times while you're doing what you do to make sure you do it right.

I think I destroyed the bootloader somehow. I backed up and everything a stock rom and then I flashed starburst rom via cwm (after wiping) but after it got stuck in a bootloop of showing the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 splash screen. I'm not sure where to go from here. It says that the bootloader version is unkown and that the baseband version is %s. I've tried reflashing cwm via odin but I can't get back into cwm to wipe and restore my backup.

Hey guys, I am running a Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G, I got it preloaded with TW - but there isn't a padlock logo when I boot the device up, does it matter if I want to root it?

I remember that the padlock meant an unlocked bootloader, any advice will be great

Boot loop

Hi all I need some help. Verizon LTE 10.1 tab is boot looping after attempting bone head maneuver. Attempted root per Lorddeff07's method. Installed recovery file, system rebooted. Installed kernel file, system rebooted. Installed clockwork mod premium from market. Installed clockwork mod recovery for galaxy tab. Initiated backup via cwm, system rebooted and started boot looping. I can get into downloading mode but when I try to access recovery mode the tablet starts to boot loop.

I tried odin but the USB drivers are not installing properly. If I force the driver to install as Samsung ADB the tablet will display "start odin" when in downloading mode. However the odin app does not recognize the tablet. I'm running W7 pro Sp1 x64.

I also tried to use nvflash per shep211's tutorial but that didn't work. I get to section 2 step 17 when the command fails and the tablet will disconnect from the PC.

I know there has to be a way to fix my fUP. can anyone asist?

FIXED: Removed the Verizon SIM card. Booted into download mode. Manually added the unrecognized driver as Samsung Mobile USB Serial Port. Opened odin flashed the ltecwm.tar.md5 file. Rebooted. All is good. Rebooted into recovery and installed root using Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip. Everything is up and running.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] StuMcBill:
I just bought a 10.1 (wifi only, UK spec) with touchwiz already installed with android 3.1. There is no padlock logo at all while booting.

I restored factory settings, installed clockworkmod and made a Nandroid of the stock ROM without setting up the device.

I haven't installed the "root" zip yet as I wanted to install a complete ROM from here, with an overclocked kernel however, I can't find a stock zip which matches the one I have installed already. But I assume that if I reinstall the Nandroid I have made, then flash the stock recovery, it will be as it was out of the box.

I planned on installing the Starburst ROM, and a kernel with overclocking and voodoo sound.

Would this work ok?

Thanks

Just a quick note

in the guide ...Then hold down power + volume down button (the button closer to power button) until you see two icons appear then let go...

You actually don't have to hold the power button while waiting, just long press power button while holding the volume down, then let go of the power button

Hmm, doesn't sound like much of a difference, but it is... :)

I rooted my tab as instructed. The super user app showed up in the app drawer. And the apps that require root access can successfully invoke the su promt window.

But I found that I couldn't adb remount / push files to the device. When I tried those commands in the cmd prompt, I got "operation not permitted"/"Failed to copy xxx to xxx. Permission denied".

Is this normal?

Hi there,

i have a GT 3g + Wifi. i did the root method on the first post. installed CWM and ROM Manager. But now all of a sudden i seemed to have lost root access?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Dai323:
Hi All,

I have the P7500 3G version, but I NEVER use 3G. I dont even have a simcard for the tablet, as I just tether with my work phone when using the internet...

So if I flash a "wifi" ROM, I ll obviously lose 3G...but will everything else remain in tact?

Is it actually safe to flash a "wifi only" ROM if you dont care about losing 3G, or are there other functionalities that wont work? Theres currently only one custom ROM out there for the P7500, and if its safe to use wifi ROMS with only 3G being lost, I would love to start trying wifi ROMS like Bonsai, Task650, Starburst, ect...

Any ideas on that?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] RealDealSaar:
Same problem here. I did the Root.zip thing 3 times,but as soon as i reboot my tab (which is of course necessary since i'm in recovery) my root is gone.

Any hints on what to do?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] RealDealSaar:
I got it working. Don't know why,but this did the trick for me:

I flashed the Root.zip again, after booting up I looked for the Superuser Icon in the app drawer. I opened it, clicked around in the settings menu without changing any of them.

Then i started the ROM Manager and did a "fix permissions". And finally, the message granting SU-rights to ROM Manager poped up.

After that, i was finally able to install CWM via the Manager.

Dont know why it didn't work the 3 times before, but this did...at least for me.

Hope it helps!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] alphaev7:
I tried that method. The "ROM Manager granted Superuser rights" message came up. But fix permissions resulted in an error. and Android terminal still no go. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] RealDealSaar:
The fix permissions resulted for me in an error as well, sorry, forgot to mention that. But if your ROM Manager has been granted SU rights, then you should now be able to install CWM through the menu. Although fix permissions did not work, the cwm install did.

Open the superuser app and check if the ROM Manager is listed there under programs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] alphaev7:
Hi RealDealSarr,

1) Superuser app lists ROM Manager

2) on ROM Manager, CWM is currently on 4.0.0.4. I did try to Flash CWM 4.0.0.4 once more in ROM Manager, but still the same.

Does anyone have a LTE stock odin file? If not, is anyone able to pull the stock radio from the LTE tab? I used this file "samgtab10.1_lte_root.tar.md5" via odin.

Those files are all for recovery only. I used the file matt posted as a full rooted rom with cwm, and that's what caused me to lose my radio. I was completely stock before doing it on a brand new tab. Unfortunately i need either a fully stock odin file or just the stock radio files. Until then I guess this is a wifi only tab for me...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] PuckMercury:
post 17 has the system as well and the file size reflects that at 166MB+, is that where your problem began? His post seems to indicate it is stock + cwm + root. The stock recovery is posted as an odin flashable there as well which just leaves removing root. Let us know if the rom posted at #17 is indeed where your problems started so others don't rely on that as a faulty fail-safe.

Just bought the Tab 10.1 from rogers yesterday... the box says '4G' and it says '4g' on the radio icon... but as far as i know this version is not LTE.

Empty sdcard

Hi all,

One way or another (my stupidity), I have ended up with a completely empty filesystem on my galaxy tab by following some of these instructions. I have CWM running and I can use ODIN easily, but I can't install a rom because they all need to be flashed via CWM. I also can't mount the device from CWM to my machine so I can't transfer any files to it.

I can't find instructions on how to mount my device via CWM, nor have I found ROMs in the appropriate format for use with ODIN.

Help?

Thanks.

Yes you can.

Or

you can go through the setup.

Flash CWM recovery.

Do a factory reset(data and cache) in CWM

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] klub242:
I'm about to buy a Verizon LTE Tab off of Craigslist tomorrow, but I plan on using it wifi only, because I neither have nor want a Verizon plan with it. In light of that, will flashing a wifi only version rom work and just leave the cell radio non-functioning, or will it mess up my Tab?

If not, then does that mean I'm stuck with only the one beta rom (which apparently has broken auto rotate, a deal breaker) and no kernels that I can flash?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] marksnet:
The lte whether used on wifi or 4g, rooting is very etchy and instructions/information is even less. Especially accurate info. The best instructions for rooting the lte now have broken links so personally i would NOT buy the lte. I have one and its hitting ebay very soon.

No netflix

No skype

Little root info and NO instructions on how to return back to stock after rooting.

If someone tells me there is they never provide the way. Look on every thread where they have if u do a search and they use the thread that has dead links so they are experts at google but they do not test the links and they prolly dont own an lte or they would know it aint that simple.

There is one thread that offers a kernel.zip file and a recovery.zip file and its on rootswiki.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xenokira:
I own the LTE tab too and completely agree with marksnet. If you're 100% sure you'll never use the LTE radio, don't buy it--get the wifi only version instead. There just isn't much of a community for the LTE tab so marksnet is absolutely right, information is sparse and riddled with broken links. It's been frustrating as an LTE tab owner but things are finally starting to get moving a bit thanks to jfl0wers' LiquidSpeed ROM.

Ultimately, get the wifi version if you want to get into flashing and modding right away.

stockretail.tar.md5(recovery)

this one is for the p7500 (3G) too? The real stock recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ole12:
I got a few questions here.

1. My build number is: HMJ37 P7510XWKGA, since I bought mine in Norway I guess have to download the stock europe firmware from samfirmware.com

But they only have P7510XXKFC and P7510XWKG7. So how do I get stock firmware for my tab?

2.

Which recovery file? recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5 or stockretail.tar.md5(recovery) ?

My SGS2 is rootet and I love it, and I just want to be sure Im rooting my brand new TAB the right way

And my TAB is WIFI only
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] AceTrader:
1. No idea. Anyway don't forget to do a nandroid backup before you root.

2. recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5 --> this is CWM recovery

stockretail.tar.md5 --> this is stock recovery.(if ever you want to get the recovery back to stock)

So to root your tab, install CWM recovery using ODIN and then install root.zip through CWM.

I'm trying to restore my GT 10.1 to stock to return it for an 8.9. I've been running task's new Paris ROM and so I followed step 1 easily enough, but when I tried step 2 it didn't work. I initially tried while the Tab was booted up and it immediately failed. Then I tried it from download mode and it looked like it began flashing, but then gave me a red FAILED indication and the screen on the tab gave me an error also (I can't remember exactly what it said, but it might have been some sort of file mismatch). I was attempting to flash the "stockretail.tar.md5" file by clicking the "Phone" button in Odin and then selecting the file. Is that not right?

I was pretty worried because after trying to reboot, I got an error on the Tab saying an update had failed and to use Kies to recover. Kies was no help to me though. Luckily enough I was able to get back into CWM on bootup and restored a nandroid backup and I'm back up and running with Task's Paris ROM.

What did I do wrong?

Question regarding Rom+3g

Hi, just wanted to ask a silly question for some but important one for me.

I have a European 10.1 - 3G version tab. I rooted it no problem..but i want to install a custom rom , do i need to be careful that I only use a rom that is 3G and wifi?

what if i use a wifi version on my European 3G model. will I brick it or jsut lose the 3g obviously:) ?

If I do this and for example install the wrong rom, is there a stock samsung 3g 10.1 version I can download and flash with Oden.. to make everything back to normal? can you provide a link if so.. Sorry to ask.. I am greatful for any help or advice..

last thing, how do I know which firmware is ready for my 10.1 - 3g tab.? will they say .. 3 g.. I see many not saying anything at all about this.. Hope someone would be kind enough to help . :)

You can flash a wifi rom to your tab but you will lose 3g.

If you flash the wrong rom or anything goes wrong just restore a nandroid backup through CWM. Or flash a new rom with the proper wipes. Always make a backup in CWM.

your tabs model number is p7500 this indicated the 3g tab and the rom should indicate what model its for. Wifi model is p7510.

USA Firmware?

Ok. My Dumb*ss question for the the day:

What is considered to be the "stock" firmware for the P7510 in the USA? The Sampro website refers to it, but alas, nothing definitive. Very confusing "simple" website, IMHO. Points to Europe/Asia/Arabic and makes references to America/Australia and has a USA link, but it seems to go to phones...grrr..

Unrooting for return to Amazon due to the Newton's rings thing. I have my stock ROM saved, but in case it doesn't work I'd like to be able to get the source from the source...

Same question posted on the Sammy website, but no answers...that I can find...
