You're good with that version. I suggested it because you mentioned an older one. In fact there is a newer one, but the developer that released it hasn't answered the PM I sent so I don't dare update the Toolkit. By the way thanks for the correction, always welcome. I do remember this tablet is quite cranky sometimes. Sometimes strange things happened to mine where I had to redownload the ROM just in case, do a full wipe (wiping cache or a Factory Reset, dalvik cache and /system) and then reflash the ROM and see. YMMV, but that was just a suggestion. I'm afraid that's all I can give you because it's been months that I no longer have the tablet. Just sticking around giving support and updating the guide if necessary (although I doubt it needs any more updates). Best of lucks!

Same problem as nemov

I seem to have exactly the same type of "not-rooted" problem as nemov (but I have the P7310 device). After i did my Nandroid backup I lost root. Since my plan was to back up my apps after the Nandroid-backup, I am stack without back up of my apps ...

I am trying all my best to unroot my device (to remove all files added during the rooting procedure) and nothing so far is working. I do would like avoid using ODIN to go back to HoneyComb and start all over. Is there a way of unrooting (i.e., removing the files from the rooting procedure, including the Superuser-app) without going back using ODIN. I was hoping that nemovs try below would work for me, but it didn't (sine I didn't recover using ODIN????). I would be very happy for a safe path back! Any suggestions?

Second question: As I understood it I do not need root to install Cyanogenmod. If I do continue with this installation without back up of my apps (using Titanium backup) will I need to reinstall them all one by one on Cyanogenmod?

Very thankful for suggestions!!

Two answers:

1. Unroot procedure at OP.

2. A clean ROM installation requires a full wipe so you will lose every app installed. This is needed for system stability.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fretj:
Thanks for quick reply. The Unroot-procedure will not remove the /System/bin/su file as it seems. Should I try adding a "delete" for that one in the script as well? When I apply the current unroot-proceudre this su-file and the Superuser-app is still left on the tablet ... The manual way of unrooting does not work (probably since I am not root). The terminal hangs when I write su (other commands work as they should). Any ideas why I cannot remove files in Recovery mode?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
What ROM is that? That situation sounds familiar (the su binary being located at the wrong folder, that being /system/bin and not /system/xbin) and happened some thread pages ago. I'm wondering if it's made by...the one I'm thinking. Anyways I'm cooking a flashable for your specific situation.

Edit: See if that little flashable attached solves it. I modified it so it would touch the /system/bin folder as it is your case.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fretj:
Thanks! This has helped me. Just applying this unrooting did not do the trick. And I am not 100% sure what actually solved it, but I will write that sequence down:

All in CWM Recovery mode:

1. mount /system (from the mount/unmount menu)

2. Applied Unroot

3. Applied Unroot_binfolder (from your previous post)

4. Applied UnrootSYSTEM_BIN (from the thread above)

5. Reboot

All su-files are gone as well as the Superuser app. So far it is great!

Remaing problem: The tablet will not connect to wifi anymore. It gets stuck in looking up IP-adress...No clue why. I will keep looking, but help is appriciated! :cyclops:

Note: I suspect that the /system/bin/su file was placed there when trying to reboot. From the CWM recovery I got the warning that root might be lost with the option to "Yes - Fix root (/system/bin/su)". Here I used Yes instead of No and probably got it that way

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fretj:
Thanks. I know it is old that's why I am abandoning the Samsung (extremely) slow update program ;). I am planning to move to Android 4.1 using Cyanogenmod 10. I think I will go without backups since I cannot get root working again (unrooting worked thanks to your special fix!). As i see it I have two options. Either go back to stock without full backup or go to Cyanogenmod 10 without backup... I cannot find any other user with my particular problem of losing wifi after unrooting so the backup option using Titanium seems to be out of reach

Thanks again, if you don't have any idea on how to get root and wifi back I will go for Cyanogenmod 10.

Update: Installed Cyanogenmod 10 and all seems to be working fine! Thanks for all help. It is appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:

You're welcome!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
I don't claim deep insight in the matter, but even the superuser.zip download from the original developer's website puts su in /system/bin. (and a symlink in xbin).

So I doubt this approach is technically wrong; in fact that's how my tab is running for a while. At best, it breaks someone's convention re: bin and xbin

I have a hunch (entirely unverified) that the error with root that occur in some Rom (by ...) *may* be in setting incorrect suid permissions on su binary. I should download one to verify.

Read my thread about "app force close causes Android system freeze". It's linked from my ICS FAQ thread, which is linked from the OP post #1.

It might help troubleshooting the issue, if you fix that aggravating system freeze bug.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Thing is, time has proved no issues with it being at xbin. No one ever reported issues with ROMs that have it there. YMMV.

Last night, after flashing a new ROM, I encountered an error wherein Google setup would not load.

Toolkit updated for stock ICS ?

Hello Nirogu and everybody,

Firstable, thanks to Nirogu for all this work.

Just a stupid question because i'm not sure it is explicit in the changelog

Are all the tools updated for ICS Stock ROM ? especially root zip file & stock recovery tar file ?

Because I want to root my tab and I have the choice between kk_root_ics.zip or p73xx-su-busybox-root.zip or yours ?

Which one is the best ? Will all of them give a yellow triangle ?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

risk to brick my p7300?

hi guys,I'm writing because i would ask some information.

I have a galaxy p7300 branded TIM 8Telecom Italia Mobile)upgraded with kies from 3,2 to 4,0,4 (upgrade of march 2013).All now run perfectly on my tablet but while reading this forum i see that there is a risk to brick due to android 4,0,4.

i had read some topics on this forum and now i'm a little bit confused.Now i'm on branded 4,0,4 but i learned i cant do any operation from stock recovery i have.Is it right? If it's right what i have to do to avoid tablet's brick?I think i've to root and then flash a cwm, am i correct?Where can i find the root files for 4,0,4?Can someone explain better and help me please?Thank's in advice.

(sorry for my english,it's not my native language)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] simonz123:
Stuck trying to root

I have a 7310 running 4.0.4 and I have hit the PASTE problem lots of people have discovered, so my tablet is currently ever so slightly useless.

Of course, hours on the Samsung website and left me sore and cross, with nothing except a "please do a factor reset" as a solution, which is less than ideal as it would take me days to reinstall and set up all my apps again.

So I have decided to root my tab and try deleting the clipboard cache, as described elsewhere, as this seems to work most of the time.

I'm no expert, so I've done quite a bit of reading, and here's what I think I'm supposed to do:

1. install CWM recovery using the 7310_CWMR file

2. then root using root.zip

And then I can get into the cache and delete all the corrupted files, and hopefully my tab will ber working again. Hope springs eternal.

Only problem is, I can't even get to step 1. Here are the instructions:

[Installing the CWM Recovery]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

First, you need the file called either "7310_CWMR" or "7300_CWMR" depending on your model, inside your device's SDcard. The procedure is very similar to Rooting and either procedure can be done first. Go to Bootloader Mode (as detailed in the FAQ above), then Recovery (assuming you've Stock Recovery), select "apply update from /sdcard", then look for the file you put in the SDcard. Select it with the Power button to flash it. Now, reboot once more to Bootloader Mode, go to Recovery Mode and now you will see the CWM Recovery Mode.

However, like scytheslayer before me, when I load the bootloader, all I get is "apply update from external storage"

The answer to scytheslayer was that he didn't have CWM Recover loaded yet, but how can you get CWM recover loaded if you need CWM Recovery to load it, if you know what I mean?:confused:

Help?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
You will have to use ODIN to flash the recovery.tar file. You can find everything over in the Android Development forum in the stickies. I recommend reading the whole thread before you try it. The cwm in that thread is a little out of date. It should do what you need. There is a more current version in C-O-M's cm10.1 thread that you will need if you want to install any jb roms. Search the other stickies for the root.zip that will work with ics. So to be clear, here's the steps you'll need to do (You'll need to read up on them for the specific steps):

1 Download and install ODIN 1.85 to your pc

2 Download the recovery.tar and put it in your ODIN folder.

3 Find the correct root.zip and put it on your tab.

4 Use ODIN to flash the recovery

5 Boot the tab into your new recovery

6 Use the recovery to make a nandroid backup.

7 Use the recovery to flash the root.zip

8 Boot up the tab and check to see if you have root.

Problems with my rooted French P7310

Hi guys,

my sister while living in France bought an P7310 on May 2012, I rooted it folowing instructions on this site on July last year and waited patiently for a the ICS update which was released to USA in august and in december for France.

I updated through wifi but I really wanted to change my ROM to USA but always was a bit afraid of bricking it so I continue to use it with the French firmware. I was using it until last month when after installing some new apps the Tablet started to show some problems. Apps would freeze others wont even start any more.

The tablet is still rooted (I think) and I wanted to know what is the best solution to my problem?

factory reset thru config on the tablet or should I install a Stock Rom thru Odin?

I`ve read that I should unroot before installing stock rom, is that correct? If so its been more than a year since I rooted my tablet and I not sure what method I`ve used!

If you state that the most eficient method is to install Stock Rom, is there any diference between installing the USA one from the french one?

thanks and regards
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
factory reset will reduce the lag and the not starting apps and it won't remove the root

formatting system and installing a stock ROM through Odin will certainly solve the problem

it's not right that you should unroot before installing stock ROM you can do it without doing anything before

and there is no any deference between installing USA ROM or the French one

if you decide what you wanna do just tell us what do you want and we'll guide you ;)

Root i957 lte Att 4.0.4?

Anyone have a root method for the SGH i957 att lte version running 4.0.4 ICS? I have been looking everywhere for a solution. There are tutorials on the 7300 7310 7320 and 7320t but nothing on the i957. From what I have read this requires a different rooting process than the 7300 series. I believe the 7320 and 7320t are lte versions but the kernels and methods will brick this one. Am I right? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am new here to XDA.

unroot with zip file..

This is my first post..

Is there somebody need for unroot in easiest way?

Here is the file like page one do for rooting..

Unrooting is simple as rooting..

Just place file on sdcard and apply zip fom sdcard, and voila..

You back to normal user again,..

This file will do dalvik-cache wipe and data wipe if partition is same as default as iam..

So just in case if you want to back your tab for warranty purposes..this method maybe usefull..

Use it with your own risk..

if you want to try, dont forget do nandroid backup..
