Hi....I flashed cwm through Odin.....then flashed the root.zip file through cwm....root works fine and all....my question will I have issues with recovery because I didn't do a temp cwm flash through stock recovery? I haven't tried to do anything with cwm other than flash root.zip. I read somewhere that it could possibly brick if not done right

bin/su missing

My 4.04 7.0 plus is rooted. Superuser works. as do Root Explorer and Wireless ADB, but there is no bin/su. Titanium Backup will not start, even if I launch it from Superuser Elite. And I see no way in Superuser Elite to give root privileges to any other programs.

Where can I find a bin/su for my tablet? Or how do I get Superuser Elite to give Titanium root privileges?

Thanks,

Jim

Some problem

I've installed root.zip from CWM 5.0.2.7

After I installed superuser and tried to update su binary it doesn't finished successfully. It can't update su binary. And if I try to use SuperSU that doesn't update su binary neither.

Does anybody can help why?

Resolved.

Re: [TUTORIAL] Root your Galaxy Tab 7 Plus P6200/P6210/SGH-T869 & Galaxy Tab 7.7 P800

Worked perfect on my p6210! I had tried the original

Ones posted on page 1 of op. They never worked. Yours

worked the first time yea!

Now to find rom ics or jb, any suggestions? Or is everyone finding staying on HC is most stable?

Tia,

Re: [TUTORIAL] Root your Galaxy Tab 7 Plus P6200/P6210/SGH-T869 & Galaxy Tab 7.7 P800

CyanogenMod 10.1 (JB 4.2) or 10 (JB 4.1) are the best in my opinion (built by aorth)

But if you want to stay on stock (eg. need working IR or HDMI), then the ICS 4.0.4 is better than HC (again only my opinion)

Flash CWM via pc odin then flash the root file in the CWM recovery.. then your tab is rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Donaghy:
For those with a P6210, JB, looking for root!

Got a P6210 with JB, and want root? Here's how I got it done after several hours of searching and mixing and matching. Method uses PC Odin, a Windows PC and some other stuff you have to download.

To install CWM Recovery

Go to this thread and download the p6210-clockworkmod-6.0.2.7.zip.

Unzip the file and put the recovery.tar.md5 you're left with somewhere easily accessible on your computer (e.g. your desktop).

Put your tab into download mode (hold volume down + power)

Hook your tab up to your PC (make sure you have the right drivers installed, obviously).

Make sure you have KIES turned off in your process manager, if you still have KIES on your PC.

Launch Odin3 Version 1.85 (download link in the thread I linked to above)

Make sure Odin recognizes your tab (look for the yellow box on the left that says something like 0:[COM5].

Click the PDA button in Odin and open the recovery.tar.md5 file

Click Start.

To root with SuperSU

I prefer SuperSU over everything else. If you want another way to root, you're on your own.

Go to Chainfire's site and download CWM-SuperSU-0.94.zip.

Buy the guy a beer.

Put the .zip on your external SD card.

Put your tablet in Recovery (Volume up + Power)

You will now get CWM recovery.

Flash the .zip by selecting "Flash .zip from internal SD-card" and selecting the CWM-SuperSU file you just placed on your SD card. Yes, this is a TYPO IN CWM. It says Internal, but it means External.

Reboot your tab and ...

Done-zo! Root acces, and CWM recovery, without breaking a sweat.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bluzman:
Will this method also work to install CWM and root a 6210 that is still running ICS? :confused:

Can't get SU

Well, here it is, 2014. i finally got an Omni ROM (4.2.2) and it seems to work just fine. Unfort. i had to switch from the Cyangen 4.2.2 'cause the WiFi wouldn't stay on.

It would be great to be able to get root. i thought i had it but...

i used the instructions to place the root.zip on my SD card and booted into what appears to be TWRP and installed and rebooted.

The used Root Checker Advanced and it says i have root but not SU. Have tried several SU apps but even my Nandroid says i don't have SU (as well as the Root Checker).

i'm running Linux so most of the install instructions don't seem to apply. Anything for Linux?

Have a great morning! :)

Well, it looks like i really have CWM3.6.3. i've also tried several more root files and they all work - i get root - but i don't get superuser. The latest, perhaps the 5th, was root_supersu_110512.zip. Still no su, even though when i use ESFileManager and check root, i can see the su file in, i think it's, /bin/su. su also appears under /xbin/su
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Fermicrobarrinha:
Obrigado!!! procurando isso a muito tempo.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] shubhamgupta3011:
i was able to successfully install root.zip file from the external storage but when i tried to update su binary from super su it showed me installation failed.

My model is Samsung Galaxy tab Plus P6200.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] PandaHandz:
Yay! Cwm! Can't wait till the overclock kernels roll out or many CM9!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] danomatic:
I can confirm that the original post works just fine to root (7.0 Plus). Oddly enough, I had to use the standard file manager to move the root.zip file to the SD card as Astro had permission problems. Weird. Also, CWR works fine if you select the Galaxy S2 as your choice.

On a side note, I have the wi-fi only version and got it to tether with my (rooted) Droid 1 using the bluetooth option in OpenGarden Wi-fi app. The 7.0 Plus has a "tether by bluetooth" setting under Wireless Connections. Works pretty well.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jerkycooper:
I successfully rooted my US T-mobile SGH-T869. I found you have to keep holding the buttons down, even after the second appearance of the Samsung logo to get the tablet in recovery mode.

I just installed busybox and ROM Manager from the market and installed CWM per other's instructions here (selected the SG II phone). Was able to boot in CWM recovery mode and complete a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] perlmeister11:
^^^ still shows unable to open cache, bad file...help! need back up! any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
I'm really not sure what you folks are backing up, but you might be surprised to find out that your CWM backup's are NOT restorable. Just because ROM manager appears to have succeeded, it doesn't mean that it's done the proper thing. I think at least one person has already discovered that the backup done by installing CWM from ROM manager (Selecting galaxy SII) can't be restored.

It also probably won't properly install any update.zip files.

I have a functional CWM recovery for the wifi version of this tablet. I don't own the 3g/4g (p6000) one, however, and I'm not willing to assume that the partition tables are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Brightxda:
Where did you see the "tether by bluetooth" setting in the 7.0 Plus. My 7.0 Plus does not show this setting under "Wireless and networks". That's weired.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
so this works from stock recovery <3e>? , thanks guys. jusy got my P6200 w/3g and Im happy as a kid on christmas, this thing is buttery smooth.

just dont want to install CWM until it is confirmed stable/working with 3g version.

got it, had to get external sdcard. now Im rooted! woohoo. backed up EFS folder just in case..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] qzem:
Yes it is file with .ops ending, which is different from device to device, I think inside that file is correct order of the partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] danomatic:
Under Bluetooth Settings, if you show a paired device, select the "wrench" icon and it'll show up on the next screen
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Brightxda:
Thank you. Nothing is shown at the "profiles" after clicking my HTC Imagio's "wrench" icon. It may not work on Bluetooth of WM6.5 phones, only for Android phones.

I wonder if other WM6.5 phones can get the Bluetooth tethering function to the Tab 7 Plus or not.

I've done rooting as your tutorial, and super user & busybox installed but still detected unrooted with antutu cpu master...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] hardeep:
not sure.. works great,.. however, if u use the task manager to clear the RAM, u may loose the SUPERUSER access... just rerun the superuser again and you are good to go..

Do i need to place the file on an external card? cant i just place it in the root folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aqishimie:
My tab cannot mount sdcard on recovery mode.. why?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Likely because you don't have a properly formatted microSD card inserted in the device? (3e recovery mounts the external microSD to /sdcard)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ivo1bg:
Hi garyd9. I have the same question. In recovery there is an option to install from external card only, but not from internal. When i rooted the tab, i put the root.zip in the external card. What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
I've made it very public information that I'm a mean spirited person, and yet people still ask me questions. I even had to jump through some serious loops to annoy a moderator enough to slap my wrist. (Sorry, Red, but you have to admit that I really was pushing...)

Fine. I'll answer. Your question is "What do you think?" Currently, I'm thinking about going upstairs and taking a shower early. At the same time, I'm also wondering if my wife will be "in the mood" this evening or not. Finally, I'm working out how I'm going to overcome a shortcoming the qualcomm gobi3000 API for something I'm doing at work. (Actually, I'm not concentrating much on that last thing, but I know the issue is being worked out in the back of my head, because I'll probably have the solution by morning.)

For some reason, I doubt that any of those things really matter to you, however. It sounds like you are using the stock recovery still, and you put a zip file on the removable microSD card, put that in the tablet, and you have an option to install a zip from that external storage. This is good, and how things should be. What is it your asking me?

Take care

Gary
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ivo1bg:
:) You are funny indeed. The question was so simple, but I will translate: Is it normal to have not option for installing from internal card? On my phone SGII i have both options to install zip from internal end external cards.

And I really don't care about Your hygiene habits or the state of Your wife, many greetings to her :).

Cheers and best wishes for Happy New Year!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
I didn't think so, but you did ask what I was thinking. I thought at the time it was a bit of a personal question, but figured there was no harm in answering. ;)

If you are using the stock 3e recovery, I think it IS normal to not have seperate options. I honestly can't remember for sure (and I don't want to revert my tablet to stock recovery just to check that.) That is one of the many reasons for installing the CWM Recovery: much more flexibility in installing stuff.

Take care

Anyone know if it works on the GT-P6810 (Galaxy Tab 7.7 Wifi) as well?

Thanks so much in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] cx5:
Sharing my mistakes / lesson learnt, hope you all don't repeat.

Hi guys

But 1st, thanks and credits to all the devs and members whom are so kind to email their tab 7.7 original build.prop and give instructions, solutions, ideas and advices.

You all know who you are and truely ANGELS of this community to have you all. I've personally replied your emails individually and wish you all well.

Regarding my 240dpi changed FAILED and request original build.prop matter.

I used a build.prop from HK user, due I'm in HK, at least compatibility is exactly same. No regional issue.

at the end I resorted to: -

recovery mode, plug in USB, adb push build.prop /system --> reboot --> show Tab 7.7 then BLACK :(

recovery mode, wipe/factory reset + wipe cache --> but no improvement. Boot up show Tab 7.7 then BLACK :(

Odin 1.85 flash PDA P6800ZSKL2.TAR --> success back to factory dafault.

got it from

________________________________________

Go to http://www.u-file.net/

go to the top of the page and hit topfiles.

In the search textbox enter : p6800zskl2

________________________________________

So I confirm it's correct for P6800, not fake. and the download speed was crazy fast, nearly 10M bytes / second. I'm in HK, my ISP is HKBN, subscribe to 100Mbps local, 20Mbps international.

Well, hope my stupid mistake at least give you some information to avoid problems in the future, at least make all this effort worth some while, and somehow share with others.

I checked the original HK build.prop before adb push. It does NOT contain LCD_DENSITY=160dpi

So the way Tab 7.7 sets dpi is different from original Tab P1000.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] krystalho:
I can confirm this rooting method does NOT increase the custom binary counter.

I'm interested to know how to unroot - just in case I need to send the device to Samsung for maintenance, I'll need to unroot it beforehand.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] liquidsg:
yeah- unroot would be nice to know. never rooted a device before now...I'm assuming a factory reset doesn't do the trick?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] dianpadi:
can I just do factory reset to unroot it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] KChauJen:
You don't need to do it, but it's up to you... but you have to enter all of your info back again.

Take care,

KChau
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
factory resets won't "unroot" an android device. The "rooting" process installs a file to /system/bin and/or /system/xbin called "su." That file becomes part of the firmware.

In most cases, you also install an application called "SuperUser.apk", that that's usually installed as a user installed program (and not directly in the /system/app directory.)

To properly "unroot", both that "su" file and the "superuser.apk" program have to be removed. Here's how I've done it in the past (instructions assume that the user has a fair amount of knowledge.)

With a fully rooted device, install root explorer. Remount /system as read/write. While root explorer is running with root privs, remove the "su" binary that was installed by your rooting process. (probably /system/bin/su). Exit root explorer, uninstall SuperUser (And root explorer.)

Something similar can be done with adb shell instead of root explorer.

Gary
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Glamthaus:
Finally bit the bullet after no responses and gave it a try. Worked fine from the looks of it :)

Well, except that Superuser app keeps telling me my su binary is out of date.

EDIT: 'su binary outdated' notification can be turned off in Superuser settings :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Go into the settings for Superuser and tell it to update the su binary. Then you'll be current...

i have p6200 tab. do i need microsd to install root.zip? cause when i try to update zip from external card, it says that no such file or directory. where my root.zip is located. any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] edrickmph:
thank you!!! finally i had a rooted DXKL2!

will this root work for the DXKL3?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lanwarrior:
I rooted just fine, downloaded SuperUser, BusyBox, etc. My questions are:

1). For BusyBox, when I run the app, it shows that the current BusyBox is version 1.17.1. There is a button that said "Install" for BusyBox 1.19.3. Do I have to install the new version? When I click install, it a WARNING box popup saying that my device must be rooted, fully nand unlocked and run a rom that supports upgrading BusyBox.

2). I tried to install other root-required app, such as AdFree, but its not functioning properly. For example, when I run AdFree, SuperUser did not pop-up asking if AdFree is allowed to run with root. Is this have something to do with no. 1 above or I need to re-root?

Interestingly, Root Browser works...

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

I think I found the issue: the SuperUser app is NOT showing the PROMPT to allow application root access. If I set SuperUser app to ALWAYS ALLOW root access (dangerous!), then all these root-required-apps works, like AdFree, Button Savior, Root Explorer, etc.

Is this a problem with BusyBox as mentioned above or can I just uninstall SuperUser app and then reinstall? Just want to make sure it won't break my Tab if I remove SuperUser.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lanwarrior:
I assume when Samsung pushed a new update for HoneyComb, this will wipe out root? Or the root will PREVENT OTA updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] lanwarrior:
Anyone know why the above happen? I have to set my SuperUser to ALLOW all root access by DEFAULT. Otherwise, if I select "Prompt", ALL apps that requires root will be DENIED by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jarome1:
The rooting worked like a charm on my P6210.

But, I cannot get Kies to work on 4 different machines, so I can't install the Samsung firmware update.

1) On my MacPro, Kies runs, but never sees the P6210

2) On the MacPro in Windows 7 running in Parallels, it sees the P6210, and starts the upgrade. But, halfway through, when it starts trying to load the firmware to the Tab, the USB loses the connection! What happens is that the device name changes, and the update dies.

3) On my Windows 7 desktop (quad i7), Kies dies as soon as the splash screen comes up, even with nothing plugged in. I have reinstalled 3 times--no change

4) On my MacBook Air in Bootcamp (32-bit win 7), Kies runs, but my puny SSD does not have enough space to download the 3GB file on it. I have lots of external storage.

Has anyone else seen these issues?

Thanks,

Jim

How do I unroot it?

I finally got Kies to work on my MacBook Air. But now that I have rooted my P6210, Kies says the device does not support firmware updates.

Does this rooting disable updates? If so, how do I restore them?

Its best to

I rooted first, and then updated. But I have been totally unable to use Kies to do this. As soon as it gets to downloading the update file to my Tab, the USB connection is dropped.

If you have good wifi connection, IMHO it is better to update on the tablet itself. Go to settings/About Device (scroll down)/Software Update.

And If I root and later I update the firmware from kies the root is out???.
