Rooted :-)

Hi,

Its been a month since Ive rooted (first root ever) and its worked flawlessly. Thank you very much.

Due to the ICS supposedly round the corner (seeding out to GTab7.7) does anyone suggest a suitanle method to unroot? Im on stock rom, only rooted my device with the file provided.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bar_rodoy:
Works great! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
For unrooting, find your stock firmware and flash it via ODIN. It seems intimidating at first but it's actually easy (although not 'Super Easy' (lame joke)) ;).

I can provide stock Rogers firmware (which of course comes full of carrier bloatware) for anyone using that variant, just pm me for it.

Edit: I just wanted to add that it was only my 3rd time using ODIN and I actually retained all of the files that I had on my SD card, is this common? I went from AOKP and restored to my rooted stock ROM, then used ODIN to flash the stock recovery and other firmware files. Is this something that only works from a stock ROM or has anyone went from AOKP or CM9 and flashed via ODIN while still retaining all of their files, apps, passwords, etc? Again, not super familiar with ODIN.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
Just for future use (I'm not yet rooted), I already have the firmware file for my UK Tab and it's named P7510XXKL2_P7510XEUKL2_XEU.zip. As this is a.zip file (from the Sammy site) and not a .tar file, does it need to be flashed differently with Odin?

Easiest root method ever. I can't believe this topic is not a sticky or in the official guide to rooting the samsung galaxy tab 10.1.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
Did you look at the .zip contents? The files you need for ODIN should be packaged inside it.

Not workin on ICS

any idea on how to easy root on ICS Tab 10.1?

Tried this method on ICS somehow cannot mount the /sdcard in recovery mode....

anyone ever tried this successfully on ICS?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SANCAH:
I installed ICS (downloaded the firmware from SamMobile) onto my UK WiFi-only tab 10.1 yesterday. I used [ROOT] ODIN MOBILE to install it directly from my tab and chose the EverRoot option during flashing. That was supposed to root the update file and inject Super User and Odin into the firmware during update. Anyway, the update went well. I've got ICS, but.... I don't have root, I don't have Odin Mobile. Just now I tried the Super Easy Root Method for Tab 10.1 (that's how I got it rooted in the first place) to root my tab again and it didn't work! The renamed file is in the root of the internal memory as per instructions. When I reboot into recovery I have the following on the screen:

Android System Recovery <3e>"

Reboot system now

Apply update from external storage

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Apply update from cache

So, there's no option to update from internal storage/memory. I tried the external option and all I get is: "E: unknown volume for path [/sdcard]". I can't actually see my update .zip file from anywhere. I also tried to do it from a USB stick using one of those Samsung adapters. Doesn't work - the same error message. "Apply update from cache" option doesn't work either as you have to have root in the first place to put the update file there.

Sorry for a lengthy post, just wanted to make clear I wasn't doing something I wasn't supposed to. Any help with easy method for ICS would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
This method hasn't been tested on ICS (aside from you testing it ;)), it may not work at all. If anyone has used this successfully for ICS, do let us know and I'll update the post.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
My advice would be to flash a recovery manually anyways. I know it defeats the whole ODIN-free wire-free things I had going on, but some of the AOSP ROMS aren't flashable without a certain version of CWM (sorry, can't remember which one at the moment, just do some searching) unless of course CWM has been updated and CM9 is now flashable. I haven't been reading much on the Tab lately... I've been pretty distracted with my Galaxy S III lol.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xseldonx:
Worked perfectly on Telus Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G GT-P7500D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ciekawy:
flash provided version of CWM recovery image

worked like a charm, however regarding

to flash latest experimental CM10 I've got one stupid problem that takes me quite a lot of time to resolve. CWM installed by ROM Manager is in version 5.8.x.x and it won't allow to install latest CM10. Since I don't have M$ os I am unable to use odin to flash correct CWM version.

Here is how I was able to manage with it.

Having correct recovery.tar.md5 (eg 6.0.1.1 is available to download alogn with CM10 pershoot build) I have untarred it to recovery.img. Having busybox and dropbear I have to ssh to my tab and do 'ps' to find process id of ROM manager. Then using lsof | grep "pid" I have found the place where ROM Manager was downloading unwanted version of CWM image to. I'm not sure now, but I guess it should be in '/data/data/com.koushikdutta.rommanager/cache/'. Then after choosing Flash CWM Recovery in Rom Manager (this operation can be done as many times as needed) each time ROM Manager is downloading recovery image to some file containing many digits and .tmp suffix (eg 53444534.tmp). So the main part is to prepare commands that removes .tmp file and copy correct version of recovery img into a file named with same digits (eg if file while downloading is '53444534.tmp' - you need to copy 'recovery.img' into a '53444534'). Those commands (removing '.tmp' and creating new file) has to be done while ROM Manager is downloading the image. It will use then our replaced image to be flashed. WARNING this is tricky since can lead to unpredictable consequences if replaced recovery.img is invalid.

Whole seems to be complicated but the idea itself is simple. Anyway there is an option 'Flash alternate recovery', but ii is disabled and I don't know how to provide such alternate file so the ROM Manager can see it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] badogg:
Just an FYI guys, I tried to do this after accepting the ICS OTA firmware update, and it doesn't work. I can't get it to browse for the update.zip through the standard recovery.

Wanting to know

After I root my Galaxy Tab with this Super Easy Root, will I still receive updates from Rogers, I have ics installed. Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djmatt604:
Mobile Odin allows you to flash TARs from within a rooted ROM without jumping through all of these hoops...perhaps try that too?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Marshmellow92:
All I did was put cm19 in my tablet. (Connect it to PS and copy paste the zip) then boot to download mode. Flash that recovery pershoot says to flash. 6. Something. Then power off and power back into recovery. Format everything and then flash from sdcard. And go to wherever you put the cm10 zip. And flash it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djmatt604:
Yes that is how you flash a rom. However the question was regarding how to flash a different tar.md5 for recovery...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djmatt604:
It should but make sure you update Superuser after flashing the root zip if the root doesn't take. http://androidsu.com/superuser I believe. Superuser 3.1.3_arm_signed is what I used on my device and I just flashed it immediately after the root zip. Done :) good luck, hope it works for you!

@djmatt604 what rom are you using on your tab?

The root zip runs, installs su and I then updated su in google play to superuser 3.1.3 su binary v2.3.1-ef but no root as proxydroid tells me "PLEASE ROOT YOUR DEVICE FIRST!!!".

Ok, I dl'ed ARM devices (2.0 – 4.1) 3.1.3 md5: b3c89f46f014c9df7d23b94d37386b8a Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and installed it and it worked!!!

Method no longer works in Stock ICS

Stock ICS no longer allows update.zip (default /mnt/sdcard [=/sdcard] location) to be loaded via Stock Recovery main menu update from external (SD card).

External storage is defaulted to "/sdcard", which is not the external USB Host drive (standard recovery mode, that is), neither does it seem to be the highest non-root accessible location. I will probably go the ODIN/CWM route now, as this super easy method now seems to be locked out by Samsung's finest.

EDIT:

ODIN/CWM did not work out, as first a scrolling CWM menu, and then, after pershoots bootloader installation a scrolling wakeup screen.

/sdcard is present, (soft)link to /mnt/sdcard (or vice versa, still have to look) when ICS is running, but it looks like it is only a temporary link, created during boot-up. Standard recovery of ICS does not see /sdcard, or maybe looks for another filename (i.e. not "update.zip") to load. I am not sure, but the end-result is that standard recovery in ICS does not allow for this method to work as described.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mehtuus:
I just wanted to add my experience here. My GT-P7510 Wi-Fi had HC3.2 and I was prompted recently to update to ICS4.0.4. I previously had it rooted, but the HC3.2 OTA update unrooted it for me. A few days ago I found this thread, so I decided to reroot it.

Using my tablet I downloaded the file. I did not rename it, I just saved it to a location of my choosing. Then I rebooted into recovery mode and used the menu system to locate the file. After running the update I rebooted.

ROOTED. Just like that.

There was some weirdness though, and I am not sure what was causing the issue. The screen would freeze after about 45-seconds. After a frustrating number of hard reboots, I turned off the Wi-Fi and the problem went away. I left it like that for a while and rebooted the tablet again. The issue, whatever it was had disappeared - even after installing/messing with root apps and several normal reboots.

Then I performed the OTA ICS4.0.4 update. I ended up having to do a data wipe/factory restore, because it was freezing up every 15 to 20 seconds like clock work. After that the system was working fine. One of the first things for which I checked was root. Superuser was in the list of pre-installed apps, and GP found an update for it too. So I downloaded a root app to test and was shown the SU permissions prompt. ROOT! I hope that further OTA updates will continue to behave in the same manner. Unlikely, but only time will tell.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Just_Another_N00b:
This method will not work with the default (stock) recovery. You need to get, for example, CWM recovery, but you might get one of the scrolling problems. ClockWorkMod on my Stock ICS 404 would not behave, and adding the bootloader as a (working!) fix for scrolling CWM screen got me even further from home with the scrolling awake from sleep screen.

But to make a long story short: you need to get a non-stock recovery module in order to use this method...

What's out there is what's out there, my friend. :) read through the threads for the options that are available to you, some nightlies seem to be better than others, etc. See what other people with the same tablet are saying about how those roms are performing for them.

4.1 and 4.2 options for the GTab are available from CyanogenMod and AOKP, official and unofficial I believe...the fun of it all is flashing and checking stuff out, and learning how things tick. Your definition of 'stable' may not be the same as others, right?

If you aren't seeing any jb options that suit your needs, you may want to choose one of the many ICS options for example that are rock solid. Or, you're always free to compile from source and build your own! Then it can be anything you want it to be.

They're different programs that do mostly the same thing. If you have SuperSU installed, there's no reason to install Superuser.

SuperSU has some additional features (like the ability to hide the su binary, and some recovery features).

Dont use Superuser if already on SuperSU

I was user of Superuser with Elite combination over the ast 3 years on my Chinese pad and I can tell you it gets frustrating with Superuser becoz sometimes it doesnt gives su access and have to wait for an already approved apps sometimes even after a few retries only then it will give you back the su approval but only after you have left the application and on your homescreen.

I dont have that problem with SuperSU and now I use it with pro version never once did it reject the su request made by the apps.and changing all that on all the pads that gave me problems with superuser access has now vanish and all working well. If you look at the Superuser binaries of the version 3.3.3 it is a few hundred kb size (if not wrong 300kb) wheras SuperSU with the latest version 1.25 binaries is only less than 100kb again saves you on valuable space and lighter on the ROM.

I changed to SuperSU at the end of 2012 and never had any complains.
