[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Just plug in your tab via usb to your computer. make sure usb debigging is set to off in the tab. your tab will appear on your computer and you will be able to see all the files in it. Find your backup in a place called backup (i think) its there though, then just drag and drop to your computer.

I use a mac too... pretty straightforward.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tenbeau:
Just a few questions before I take the plunge. I have dl all necessary files and setup odin. I understand the odin procedure and also copying the root zip to sd card. My questions are if I install CWM recovery and I am unlocked do I have to root the device or can I just install(after making a backup thru CWM recovery) the custom rom that has the TouchWiz update and is already rooted? I believe i have read that I can proceed directly to installing custom rom after installing CWM recovery but just want to be sure. Any and all help is greatly appreciiated!!!!:):)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Zargon335:
Thanks for putting this guide together. It made my rooting quick and easy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
I think you still have to flash the root.zip. I may be mistaken though, but it doesn't hurt to to just do it :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] :
Most custom ROM's will come with Superuser.apk in them. But might as well flash the Root.zip first just to be on the safe side :-)

i shut off debugging on tablet ... plugged in tablet

on the samsung screen i see press home to quit kies

on the mac i see a popup that says it has found a new network .. samsung modem ... cancel or network preferences

i hit cancel on the network popup ... not sure how to stop that everytime i plug in device

i went to finder app on the MAC and i do not see the tablet device

pressed the Home button to quit kies on tablet, then went back to finder window on MAC and still no device ... are there certain drives that need to be installed on the MAC?

i installed kies on my mac as well ... if i open kies, it recognizes my device ... but that is only good for media file transfer

so my MAC is still not seeing my tabet as a mass storage device

any ideas?

the tablet is rooted using the method in the OP

still original ROM

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] alwayslearning:
did you make sure you have USB debugging off?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] iTouch24:
ya that was the first thing i did before plugging in ... also when plugged in i pulled down notification bar on tablet and it did NOT say debugging was running
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ctheory83:
I'm looking for the same info. I just took delivery of a brand new 4G tab this morning and i'm working on rooting it using the method listed...

...there, but when I attempt to go to recovery everything goes blank.

Great info, now I need to see if I can use this in my Korean Tab :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SirSigma:
I have a question I didn't see covered, and forgive me if it was and kindly point me to where I can find it, if that's the case.

I have CWM on my GT10.1 and I also use it on my HTC Evo. On my phone, I'm no stranger to performing a NAND backup, which goes straight to my SD card. But last time I tried to perform a backup from CWM on my GH10.1, I think it aborted because it couldn't find a place to put the backup or something. Is there any way to getting around this in the unlikely event I happen to really bork a ROM or something? This is also a reason why I've been relatively more cautious with my GH10.1 than I usually am with my Evo. Without the prospect of backing up, it's honestly a little scary to tweak this for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] cheema:
I downloaded the odin linked in the original post. When I ran it, it asked for administrator privileges. And came with "Free 4 u" folder with a bunch of mp3s. That was enough for me to delete the whole thing. I think I will go back to my older odin3 1.7 that does not come with these "benefits".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
You should try and run the back from recovery mode as opposed to the rom manager app on your device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
The free stuff is someones sick joke lol. More annoying when you consider the fact that all you need from that zipped file is less than 10% of the overall downloaded file. Personally, i actually found it kinda funny.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
I think the problem is with the drivers..... which funny enough installing samsung kies on your mac should fix. But it doesn't lol. Anyways, i also had the same problem here is your best bet solution.

Download drop box on your mac and your tablet. Or a simple bluetooth connection. With this you can transfer files to and from the mac to your tablet easily, then using a file manager app on your tablet you can move the copied files to where ever you need them to be on your tablet storage. When I do any rooting stuff i use a windows PC so I usually do everything there. But if you want to move files to your mac, using these methods I have pointed out will be your best bet for now. Android and mac doesnt really play nice as you must have by now noticed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] SirSigma:
I wasn't sure what you meant for a moment, but then I realized it would probably make a difference if I booted straight into recovery and backed up from there myself as opposed to what I think I did last time I tried to backup data, which I think was selecting the backup option within the CWM app.

Anyway, I think it worked this time after I backed up from recovery. But a strange thing I noticed is that the little progress bar didn't move at all during the backup, whereas it always moves on my Evo.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xEVILFREDx:
Hey, I am having issue with my limited edition tab. I install the driver and ran Odin3 v1.85, found my hardware on COM5 and it pass once I ran the PDA function and md5 file. For some reason I can't get into recovery. My only option once rebooting is "downloading" or "USB"

Can someone share some light if I am messing up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Heuser1:
Purpose: Flash a TW rom

Problem: When i try to run Odin on my computer it just flashes open for a split second then goes away... Am not able to actually use it to hit start.

Any ideas? Should I try an older version? How do I get an older version?

Also, please help me with this bit of confusion. I need to use Odin to get CWM. Do i download the CWM on my computer or on the tab?

Thanks for all the help! If anyone feels like walking me through all if this it would be greatly appreciated and feel free to PM me.

Great support we have here!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
I don't think you are messing anything up, Odin showing passed means you have actually succeeded in flashing CWM to your tab. And I think someone had a similar issue with with the I/O version of not being able to boot into recovery using the volume and power method.

Your options are to use ADB or download rom manager and use it to boot into recovery. Then while there you should see that you have CWM and you can install the root zip. Let me kno if this works for you so I can update the main thread, having only one person reporting this issues was not enough to make me make any changes to what so many other ppl claimed worked for them.

Sorry for the inconvenience, although the info you needed was somewhere in this thread though :)

First off, Odin shouldn't be doing that. So you may want to try redownloading it or using another computer. And I don't know if an "older" version of Odin will work with this tab. this is the one everyone has been using so if you are using an older version you are truly in uncharted waters there.

But Odin shouldn't even do that to begin with, and once or if you get it working the whole process is easy and straightforward. You should consider using another PC, you only need it for as long as it would take to use Odin and flash CWM.

The version of clockwork mod here is the Odin flash-able version. So you need to have it be on your computer not on your tablet. The only things that you can/should have on your tablet are CWM flashable zips. those you can download and store directly on your tablet.

As for the walking you through this part, that is also in the OP. The IRC chat room. Go there , there are usually very experienced ppl on there most of the time and as longa s you make your problem clear they will more than likely help walk you through whatever issue you may be having. I may even be there at some point today.

please, read the instructions carefully.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xEVILFREDx:
Lorddeff07, thanks for that. Did not notice it was there before. I forgot to add that I downloaded rom manager and I get an error about permission. So I guess my only option is ADB. Which ADB instruction should I use if you don't mind me asking. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Heuser1:
Thanks for the help!

So I ran Odin, and selected the CWM recovery file. That all seemed to work fine. The I continued with the root instructions which also seemed to work fine. I now have the superuser icon, but have not verified root aside from that. I downloaded Rom manager so that I can backup the device before trying to flash a new rom. When i went to "backup current rom" a promt came up saying that i have to install CWM first? Didn't I already do this? well I gave me an option to do it from rom manager by selecting my device, so i clicked on the galaxy tab 10.1. It was going through the install but right at the end it stopped and said something about permissions...

I could really use some help here again. Truly appreciate all the support on here! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Well the thing is that if you installed the root.zip then that means you already have CWM. You needed to use cCWM recovery to install the zip anyways. You may want to try everything manually via cwm recovery. Just boot into recovery and manually backup your tab, you can also install your roms this way. I think there are some incompatibility issues with with the app version of Rom manager cause I keep noticing a number of ppl running into issues.

Do it manually and let me know how that pans out. There is also a part in cwm that deals with fixing permissions.... that may fix your problem but i will find out more and let you know. for now though, try doing everything from recovery mode.

If you look at the second page of this thread you wil see someone that had a very similar problem to yours. Though that was at a time when we used an older rooting method but at the end of the day its still the same thing. He said something about opening a terminal on his tab and typing "reboot recovery". i have not tried either methods (ADB or terminal in the tab) so i will advice that you come to the IRC chat room or PM that user. When you do Please let me know how it all plays out so I can provide a detailed solution for others that have the I/O tablet and come across this problem.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xEVILFREDx:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tijayz:
Download odin and flash this - mediafire.com/?zecfnp0h6ueils5

that will kick it out of the loop

you will loose your recovery though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tenbeau:
I am going to return my unlocked Gtab. No issues just decided that I do not need or really would not use a tablet that much. My question is if I restore the backup of the stock rom I made will that unroot and then all I have to do is use odin to flash back to stock recovery? All help is appreciated:):confused:.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ctheory83:
Same thing, borked recovery on my new 4G VZ tab. Now I can't get anything flashed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tijayz:
I'm sure it won't take long for the Clockwork Recovery to show up on these, I mean they are pretty new - only 3 days since release. I'm just glad we can get the root on these.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] ctheory83:
I hear ya, and hopefully my last post didn't come across as whiny or anything. Got lots of respect for all the modders here on XDA, they do a great service for everyone and its always appreciated.

I just feel like an idiot for borking my recovery and still not having root to get the Cisco VPN client working! :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] xEVILFREDx:
Thanks tijayz. Now my issue is now the tab is rebooting only to clockwork recovery. How can I get per say a rom to flash there ??? Adb Push ???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tenbeau:
I tried the link in the op for the stock rom (so I can return device) and all that came up was a list of a bunch of folders no actual rom zip. Can anyone point me toward the stock rom that is cwm flashable and will remove root? I have a back up of stock but not sure if that would remove root or not. All help and info is certainly appreciated.:confused::) Anyone that might be interested I have a white 16gb unlocked Gtab that has no issues. I am taking it back or will sell it. Contact me by pm if you are interested and want to make an offer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] tijayz:
You can't do ADB while in recovery. Depending on which version of the tab you have, you could flash it from Clockwork with a new rom if you had uploaded the ZIP file into the tab before doing all this.

Alternatively, you can try reflashing it with ODIN with Stock and restart from the beginning.

If you have the I/O tab or the retail version, you may have to go with the ODIN and flash www.mediafire.com/?n2jzq3unuvdw65u - that is the stock rom from the first post, I believe it's for the Wifi only edition, and restart from the beginning (flash CWM, reboot, root exploit).

You could also try going into Advanced > Reboot recovery, and that may kick you into regular Samsung recovery, from where you should be able to reset to factory and reboot into the tablet. Alternatively, you can try resetting to factory from CWM and see if that will kick you out.

Can anyone link me another mirror for 3g retail version....the link given is broken
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Vertumus:
Hi to all,

First of all big thanks and credits for Lorddeff07 for this extraordinary thread.

Since I am very long in android world and currently my phone is Samsung Galaxy S II, I decided to buy this beautiful tab.

Today I got deliver 3G version (P7500). I noticed that rooting, flashing our tabs is not so quite easy as for galaxy s phones.

I wanted to root my 3G version (P7500) using your guide from first post

Although DL link is broken, so can u upload it again mate or directs us to some other guide for rooting and CWM for P7500 models.

Also, as I saw, currently there isn't any custom rom for P7500 models? Am I right or I am missing something?

Thank you so much for your time replaying my post and for your work toward community

Kind regards,

Vert
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Working on getting another link for that broken link.... would be great if some of the P7500 guys could upload a mirror so I could replace it. And no, there aren't any specific roms made for the 3G model just yet. I think I should even make wifi/3g/4g rom sections in my OP to avoid any confusion. Lastly, you are right, its not as easy rooting our tabs yet, but its a lot easier now than what it once used to be too :) progress I guess.

Glad to see you enjoyed the thread.

how is everyone getting ad-hoc connections to their tablet?

i have an evo 3d and all wireless tether apps that i am trying are not working with the tablet .. but are working with my PC

either the tablet does not see the SSID or it just says connecting but never gets an actual working IP address

i actually in stalled the latest beta wireless tether and went into setting and enabled correct routing .. that should be configured with HTC devices ... and now it seems to be working ok

tablet sees the SSID

Hi, thanks for making this thread, makes it very easy to find everything. One request, is it possible to list somewhere in the first post exactly what was updated/added? I see when the post was last updated but I have difficulty figuring out exactly what was added from the last time I checked this thread. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Ok, the updates are usually Rom/Kernel releases, some mods here or there and eventually themes. And yeah, what ever I add to the faq based on problems people are having and known fixes for them.

I will start adding a new marker to whatever I add in the OP. But not to what i add to the faq section though. Tips/ Roms/ kernels/ themes...yes. faq (questions and answers) No. I feel only ppl that are having a problem will look through that section. And when they do they will probably wanna see everything anyways.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
Modified the OP a bit, color coded the rom section so its really easy to know what works for what device and what doesn't with having to make a whole new section. Still trying to get my hands on that link for you.

Also added a new silver colored new marker.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Vertumus:
I really appreaciate your efforts and hard work. Many thanks

Is there any chance that some1 can speak with any of devs around here to ask them for some 3G custom roms? I am willing to help in anyway possible

First thing is first, I need to say THANK YOU publicly to Lorddeff07 !!!! He help me for almost 4 hours on my IO tab from Boot loop. Took a while to get it right but he was very helpful and patient. A great asset to XDA Samsung Galaxy Tab.

I can't say how much I am iin debt for his help.

Thanks again !!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Lorddeff07:
You should come over to the IRC chat room. You will probably bump into at least one or two of them, everyone is usually always in high spirits over there so they are all nice and helpful.

However, if you are a little patient 3G/4G ROMs will start becoming available. I doubt a lot has to be changed from the Wi-Fi versions to make them compatible with 3G/4G devices so it won't be too long a wait.

Mucho appreciated!!! on behalf of myself lol :) :).

Just glad you have a working tab again. Now go and make a back up of whatever ROM you are running. Go on, do it, do it.... now.

hi vert, i've send the reply to lordeff but when i rechecked my sent item i can't find the reply i gave him... so anyway heres an update on P7500 ROOT:

i use this file : http://db.tt/plhe1bq

from this Thread RIZNATCK

but basically since P7500 already on 3.1, i just put the root exploit.zip on my root sd.. then reboot into recovery (power + DOWN)

just apply zip then you'll be rooted.. simple as that... no odin no nvflash no mumbo jumbo... lucky us 3G version huh?

then CWM also same.. i saw one guy (forgot where, but he's around here) just mention download ROM manager to install CWM.. so i thought what the heck i'm rooted now so might as well as try... and it worked! so yea LOL...

Really need some help. I am having to device I had rooted it and flashed CWM recovery and custom rom. So far in returning to stock I have flashed the 3.1 OTA zip and I believe I have stock rom with root gone. I am having trouble finding the stock recovery that is listed in the op. It stated to use the file found in filesfordummies and flash through odin. I found the Filesfordummies and I used the 3.1 ota full in there to go to stock rom but cannot tell which file among the other files is the correct file to flash stock recovery through odin. Is it the stock retail? Does anyone have the stock recovery that is flashable through Odin? Also in flashing through odin do I enable usb debugging and then power off device and go into download mode and plug in to Pc? do I need a pit file? I would not think so, but not sure.
