I think I found a solution to the "Installation Aborted" issue some people are seeing when they are trying to go back to the unrooted stock OTA 3.1. I believe this unroot is for WiFi only Tabs.

People are getting the following error message:

assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "P7100BUKB7"

E:Error in /sdcard/hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip

(Status 7)

Here is what I did:

This is using everything from the FilesForDummies.zip in the OP

(You should install the Samsung USB drivers if you don't have them already for some reason)

1. Fire up Odin3_v1.85

2. Check PDA, Click PDA, pick stockretail.tar.md5

3. Turn off your Tab

3. Boot up into Downloading mode

4. Connect your Tab

5. Once connected, Start Odin

6. Let the device restart

7. Go back to Odin on your PC, check PDA, click PDA, pick recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5

8. Turn off your Tab

9. Boot up into Downloading mode

10. Connect your Tab

11. Once connected, Start Odin

12. Let the device restart

13. Once restarted, open ROM Manager

14. Tap Install ROM from SD Card

15. Pick hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1

15. Wipe Data and Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache

16. Let it do it's thing. It should reboot

17. Repeat Steps 1-6

18. You should now be back to stock!

I see many of the rom are for wifi and very few for wifi+3g...

while trying to get back to the stock firmware i got the error msg

assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "P7100BUKB7"

E:Error in /sdcard/hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip

(Status 7)

perhaps may i suggest there be 2 separate forum for wifi only and wifi+3g?

Also im from an Asia country so most of the roms listed here may not be for people residing in Asia. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Can i use your steps to update to a stock rom? I'm using P7500 which is the wifi+3g. I do not know whether it matters which region you are from if you are going to install a stock rom from samfirware.

btw the firmware i d/led from samfirmware if for Asian region and its HC 3.1...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] eXiled Killah:
I'm pretty sure that was for the Verizon LTE version as that was the only "4G" version that was available at the time of that particular update post. I did use these files and can confirm that they do work just fine ... on the VZW LTE 10.1 HC3.1. Perhaps now with different carrier versions being released, that particular entry should be clarified...

Hi,

I'm trying to root my Samsung Tab 10.1 3G. GT-P7500 When i try to get in recovery mode, the screen gets all messed up en looks like the falling numbers in the matrix.

This makes it impossible to choose the right zip i put onto the divice to root it. I already read the whole forum here and havent seen this problem or a solution.

Can anybody help me? :crying: i'm about to trow my tab out of the window.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] costa0212:
flash this recovery with odin. It works for me.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Look at the first post again, just updated it. Now from odin you can flash cwm and if you can't get into cwm using the volume down + power combo, you can get into cwm recover from the rom manager app.

This is probably by far the easiest way to root so far.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] RyanTX:
Thank you for the guide, I just have a couple questions before I take the plunge. I downloaded all the files listed in the OP. I have installed the Samsung drivers, opened ODIN, and checked "PDA" and pointed it to the recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-stab-10.1.tar.md5 file.

So now I just turn the tab off, power/volume down to get to the bootloader menu. Volume down to select the downloader option, volume up to select it. Then hit "start" in ODIN??

Once complete, keep the tab plugged into the computer? Or do I unplug it after the ODIN process is complete, only to reattach it and continue the process? Im quite scared to root this thing, but your guide seems simple enough.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
lol, i am scared too lol :)

Anyways, you are right on the money. Connect your tab to your computer before/after starting odin and pointing it to the file. One of the odin boxes should light up yellow showing that the connection has been made. then hit start in odin.

Unplug the tab and boot up normally then turn off your usb debugging and plug it back in. then transfer your file over. then unplug again and turn off. And carry on from there.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] RyanTX:
Alright, I hit start, it has the PASS! in green. Then the screen turned off, and it looks like it is back on, but the screen is still black (a little lighter black, you know what I mean?)

So now what?? Do I hit the power button or....? BTW, I just unplugged it from the computer.

EDIT:

I held the power button, it turned on, and is now on my normal home screen, now I suppose I can follow through with putting the root.zip file on the SD card, reboot into recovery, flash it, and be done.... yikes..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
trust me, the worst part is already behind you :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
(Q) Edit: I figured it out with Google :p

Oh and another question. I've read that if my tab was unlocked, there would be a lock symbol on the boot-up screen. Mine doesn't show one, so I guess mine is locked. Does this mean that I can't use pershoot's kernel and overclock it? Would i have been able to flash it on top of the Touchwiz UX anyways? Thanks.

I came into this thread and found the opening post helpful and all, but one small thing is bothering me: How good is ADW Launcher on Honeycomb? I wasn't aware it was even supported until just now and I'm having a hard time picturing it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] gdog1977:
ADW EX is alright, faster then stock. The touch responsiveness of the honeycomb widgets needs work though and it doesn't really feel at home on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Look at this thread. Most of what you see there was made possible with ADW on honeycomb. From what they say, its actually pretty good.

nvflash (APX mode) isn't about rooting; it's about being able to flash partition images at a very low system level. APX mode can generally be used even when recovery or ODIN are unavailable (e.g., corrupted bootloader). But it's your thread, so include or redact whatever you like.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
I asked because I wasn't sure of something, and the OP states to do so. I am fairly familiar with how roms and kernels work, but I was just asking out of reassurance and because I have just recently rooted my tab. So reading the update FAQ section in the OP, I now see that I can install custom kernels on my locked tab. But will I be able to flash pershoots kernel over the touchwiz ux rom and be able to overclock it? Or is the kernel incompatible with the touchwiz rom? I come from the Fascinate forums where there are specific kernels for both touchwiz and AOSP roms. That's why I am a bit confused. Thanks for any help.

Edit: Alright so I looked through the forums, and I found on pershoot's thread that his kernel can be used on the touchwiz rom, but he's not supporting it. Any testimonies from those running TouchWiz and pershoot's kernel?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
While you can flash the kernel for touchwiz, its not currently supported. So any issues you run into wont be addressed until pershoot supports it. I would have put that in the faq section but i figured its would be best to get all the info you need from the actual kernel thread which i have linked to anyways.

I applied the kernal.zip and recovery.zip to an updated 3.1 perhaps 3.2 not sure. When I try to restart all I get is the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1" text and that is it. I didn't put the stock rom from the "download package" (I didn't know what this was but latter figured out it was the FileForDummies.zip). I can get into bootloader mode but when I select recovery the screen goes blank.

Do I need to use NVFLASH to recovery form them soft-bick? When i do the "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go" command I get a "Nvflash started, rcm versuib 0X4, Command send failed <usb write failed>" error when I follow the "Retail 3.1 CWM Recovery, Root & full back up!" thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574

Hey guys, I got my Wifi Retail boot-locked GTab rooted very easily thanks to this thread, I appreciate the help.

But I have a quick question. I'm trying to use ROM Manager to manage backups of my rom, but when I go to use it, it complains that it first needs to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I obviously already have this on there, as I was able to root, how come ROM Manager can't see that? Is it safe to let it try to install CWM like it wants to?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Yes it is, there was actually a previous method of rooting the tab that required you download and install rom manager and have it install cwm for you. However, you can still use it and boot into recovery as it is and just go about it manually.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tenbeau:
Just got my Gtab two days ago and despite having some issues (minor) I want to root as I have all of my devices. I am familiar with odin and have downloaded and installed all the necessary files. I am sure it is straightforward but I do have one question before embarking on the root procedure. I read nothing relating to this in the OP and am hazy about what I read from searches. So here goes-- Since I do have some issues and will probably be returning the device for exchange if I root it and apply CWM recovery(using the procedure listed in OP) how can I unroot and return it to stock recovery? I apologize if I have missed info on my searches. I guess i want to use this device as a test for root and roms(perhaps a custom rom will fix the issues(black screen freezes while playing videos- Samsung apps FC on a regular basis etc) and still be able to return it if the issues are still present. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
I probably should put up a how to unroot guide in the OP. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Basically, using odin what you are doing is flashing cwm which in turn allows you to install the zip file that will root your device. To unroot all you have to do is flash a stock rom (this is right off the top of my head so i am not certain). There is one in the OP. However, while this unroots your device your recovery is still no longer stock. For that, you will need to use odin and flash a stock recovery. Download links for that are around the forum somewhere.

If you can't find it, wait a bit and I will provide better info on this and anything required when i update the OP.

Oh, i will strongly suggest that you return the device, you can use it as a rooting test bed all you want but from what you say it seems you have a defective unit. No matter how well you dress **** up, its still **** you know?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SirSigma:
Okay, so yesterday I tried ADW Launcher EX on my Tab 10.1, and since I have it on my Evo already, I didn't need to pay for it again.

I guess I'm impressed that it does work and shows semblance of a working launcher, but unfortunately, I have to say it's far from polished completely and needs a little work before it's perfect for Honeycomb. It's a shame, too, since I was happy I finally had an option to reduce the number of home screens I had.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] spongers:
(Q) Does the Odin file wipe tab?

OP, thanks for the instructions. Before I proceed I was just wondering if this wiped the Tab or just affects the recovery piece, no wipe? Read the whole post and didn't see an answer so I figured I'd ask.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Nope. No wipe, all odin does is flash CWM as your new recovery which in turn you use to istall the root zip and every other thing you could one day choose to install.

Be sure to make a backup though the very first time you go into CWM, then copy that backup over to your computer and save it. If anything ever goes wrong... you will be very, very happy you did this :).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] spongers:
Ok thanks! So I took the plunge, followed the instructions, but when I get to the step of installing the zip file from the SDCard I get "E:Can't mount /sdcard".....Am I missing something or is something wrong with my tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
You shouldn't be having that problem.

Did you copy the zip file to the root directory of your tablet storage? And check to see if you can at least see your tablet on your computer when connected via USB. Then when trying to access the tablet from CWM be sure the tablet is not mounted to the computer as a USB. Better yet, when trying to flash using CWM just disconnect the tab from the computer.

If all else fails, try re downloading the CWM odin file again and reflashing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] spongers:
Just tried the whole process again, and was not attached to computer when I rebooted to recovery. The file is in the root of the drive that pops up in My Computer.

Could it be because my tablet is encrypted?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Lol, there you have it... thats is most probably it. But if I may ask, what makes you think your tablet is encrypted or was it something that you know was done to the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] spongers:
I encrypted it through the settings on the tablet. Using the built-in encryption....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Well, that may be it, most likely cause what is happening is that CWM is simply not getting access to your device storage.

See if you can undo that. Though i honestly doubt thats it. You can also get into the IRC chat room, there you will usually find devs that know a lot more about this than I do. And they will be more than willing to talk you through it. the irc chat link is in the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] mughalgxt:
