[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miket514:
Hey guys, I've searched endlessly for hours and I'm at a point where I am so confused right now do not know what to do. I know the answer is somewhere in the forums, I'm just not making sense of anything anymore. I'll cut to the chase:

I have a Rogers tablet Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 wifi+3g/4g version that I had rooted and flashed ICS last January/February to a AOKP ROM. Today, I felt the urge to try getting a Jelly Bean ROM on my device. I downloaded the appropriate CM 10 ROM under the title "cm-10-20121112-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip". Booted in recovery mode, did a backup, wiped + factory reset, then wiped cache, then wiped Dalvik cache, then installed from zip. I got some error 7 / status 7. Researched a bit and concluded I needed to update my CWM Recovery from the 5.8.xxxx version I had to the 6.1.xxxx one that is the most up to date. So I restored from my backup to make sure I could just go back to how things were.

This is when things got complicated. I couldn't find any proper guide on how to just update CWM, I kept getting referred to Droid Basement (which is equally as confusing), and figured out this is the Parent Directory droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4/ . I downloaded "recovery.tar.md5" thinking I could maybe just go into recovery and apply it somehow, or go into ROM Control and "update" from a file and use that, nothing. I stumbled on this page "androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-p7510-p7500-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-136000/" which then linked me to another article explaining how to update CWM accordingly "androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-3g-4g-p7500-root-50789/" (Did the second paragraph steps)

I downloaded the KERNEL.ZIP and RECOVERY.ZIP and did as they said, except I re-wiped and factory resetted, wiped cache and wiped Dalvik cache thinking this is something you "need" to do everytime you install any .zip whatsoever. I then flashed the kernel + the recovery, and then nothing. I get a black screen, but if I hold down the power + left volume and try to get into recovery, I get to the recovery menu, if I click recovery NOTHING happens, I can go into download mode, but I have no idea what to do there / have never used that. I know "odin" has something to do with this, but I have a mac and apparently this is only functional on windows and I don't have bootcamp running right now, I do have an old windows laptop that I could use if really needed if "odin" is not compatible with mac in the end. I am not sure if this is considered bricked, hard/soft, but yeah, I need help! I apologise once again and don't mean to offend anyone, I'm sure the answer is somewhere here, but I can't seem to find it especially since none of the threads are ever specifically in regards to my Rogers tablet, and also since a lot of guides are for wifi only tablets and I'm not really sure if that really makes the big difference.

Thanks!

Wow dude... :p i suggest if you do not know what you are doing try to find out the most information you can get before you even flash a ROM :o untill you are sure what exactly you are doing. If i was your tablet i wouldn't start up either because i would get confused :D

Here's a guide from our friend QBking 77 how to get back to normal, everything is well explained, follow him STEP by STEP!!

Ohh, before you run into more issues, do not download the ROM for the p7510 in his discription, but get your stock-rom from your device from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/

Feel free to use the zip as you please.

To create your on you need 28 images. They can be the same or all different images.

1. Use 7zip on your pc

Open archive

2. Navigate through the folders in the theme folder

3. You'll come to two folders with the same images in them.

4. Your images most be named like the ones in the folder. Both folders contain the same images

5. Swap out your images

6. Put zip on your phone and flash away.

Can you tell me why you are not rooted. I'm just curious. I've seen a lot of people that say they are not rooted and or rooted but not running a ROM. I've done it a lot on my gnex but have not found the need to do it on this phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Ulver:
Same here. Still not rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] timgt:
I just rooted last night, Stock kernel, Stock ROM. The only reason I rooted was so that I could calibrate my display on my phone. There is no other reason for me.
[Nexus 4 General] yangkwong:
rooted but still using stock ROM:o

After rooted you can install so many useful apps (e.g. CWM Recovery, Titanium Backup Pro, Market Enabler, Root Explorer........)
[Nexus 4 General] Solutions Etcetera:
Everything is good here, so why put development software on it.?
[Nexus 4 General] hoponpop:
There's no reason to not root, or at least unlock the bootloader, when you first get the phone. It'll save you a ton of hassle down the road should you ever decide that you want or need root
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Because you can? I don't have the bloody phone yet, but it's going to get rooted.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Yeah I'm unlocking the bootloader as soon as it arrives, I'll probably leave it stock for a bit but my last 3 devices I bought with the intention of leaving them stock, then decided to root later, and 3 devices I lost data on. So yeah just unlock it when you get it to leave the option open
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
I'm not rooted because:

1) I have no need to be. Stock does everything I want it to do.

2) Having root doesn't allow some apps to work such as Google Movies & TV.

3) I got sick of flashing ROMs, making backups, and restoring everything after a wipe.
[Nexus 4 General] klozio:
Root is useful for some application like ads filter, anti virus like Avast with remote controls. It is only a choice to do if you really need it

[Nexus 4 General] Humu Toor:
This is going to be my first android phone as I'm coming from blackberry and I was doing some research as to rooting my device. That's probably the direction I am going to go but I just had one question. What are the potential drawbacks of rooting your device? I read that some apps don't work such as banking apps and things along those lines. Just wanted to get all the possible information. I'm located in Canada, if that relates to any location specific apps.

Thanks

EDIT: Found some tutorials and threads, thanks
[Nexus 4 General] spacecasespiff:
I did unlock the bootloader and I'm rooted, no ROM. I to got tired of flashing and making back ups and redoing my home screen multiple time a week if not every day. That's fun for awhile. But for me all the Roms are all the same for the exception of a few things. My phone runs great and I do get very good battery life. I can understand why some do it but I think android is at that point to where it does and have everything I want. I'm even thinking about unrooting my phone. Haven't needed any thing that requires root yet. I did have the display app for awhile for my screen but I've not used it that much and have not noticed that my screen is slightly yellow. My flickster app won't work when I'm rooted so I think I might unroot it.
[Nexus 4 General] jtc276:
I stayed unrooted for 8 days which is actually a record with any Android device. I liked stock and had no problems with it, but there were just a few features in Cyanogen that I love that aren't available in stock. And they're actually small things such as the volume toggles and the percentage number for battery. But they were worth it. So far my Cyanogen experience has been just as smooth as stock, so there really haven't been any drawbacks. I'm also using the Faux kernel which seems to have improved the wakelock problem the device was having on the stock kernel. I was able to get somewhere around 20 hours of battery life yesterday when I was getting around 12 on the stock kernel. I still haven't calibrated the display to my likings yet, but I'll get to that. Needless to say, I'm really enjoying having a Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
I liked rooting my vivid because sense sucked, but I went with a aosp ROM and was very happy. Though, what I like more is messing with new software updates (official) and not being rooted just makes that easier to download. There's nothing I miss from rooting. Everything I did was to make the phone as smooth running as possible and that's what I got now.
[Nexus 4 General] Strelok1987i:
Not rooted. The entire reason I rooted my old GS2 was to get AOSP on it. This has it in its purest, best form stock. :D
[Nexus 4 General] frigidazzi:
I root because I want to block ads, use titanium backup, Franco Kernel, AOKP (I have my menu and search button back plus the nav bar ring has more options than just google now). I use TWRP for backups in case I mash my phone and Google doesn't have images up yet... I can at least restore mine LOL. I use lots of tasker tasks with root. Use Datasync to auto backup and restore games and other app data on each device (not just when flashing ROMs. I mean I play a game and put down phone pickup tablet and data is already synced on there.). There's just so many things to do with it!

I rooted mine within 15 minutes of owning it. I still run the stock ROM, stock kernel. I haven't found a reason to switch. I'm happy with 4.2.1 on this device. Everything works the way I want it to.

I rooted it so that I could install Avast to the system, install busybox, run Titanium Backup, change the frame rate for recording.

I'm not rooted because i like the pure vanilla android. When I had the Samsung Galaxy S2 I rooted as soon as I got it because I wanted the pure android experience on it instead of touchwiz. I know that there some customs ROM which extra features but I don't think that they are really needed.
[Nexus 4 General] gotokyo:
Not rooted. I probably will at some point down the line though.

I never seemed to be content with any custom roms I ever had on my gnex. I would constantly be switching back and fourth and always seemed to find some type of bug or issue that would cause me to want to switch it again.

I'm happy with everything stock as of right now. And if it ain't broke why fix it?
[Nexus 4 General] daern:
Rooted stock because:

a) ClockSync can't update system clock without root

b) Cisco AnyConnect has extra features with root access

c) Exchange security enforcement doesn't allow pattern unlock without a (*cough*) small tweak

Otherwise totally stock and happy. Can't get OTA updates (so Christmas still cancelled here :) ) but that's OK.... Waiting for next release and I'll reinstall from factory image

Daern

PS. People seem to be confusing "root" and "non-stock". You can root a stock ROM without sacrificing "pure" Android if you want or need the extra functionality. You could even run a non-stock, unrooted ROM if you wanted, but you don't see too many of then around :)
[Nexus 4 General] Matt1408:
I wrote a whole piece about this once. Here is the gist of it:

I started off my smartphone legacy with a Windows Mobile device. Right from the start I had to flash the firmware on it since Windows 6.1 was basically unusable. I loved the customization at first, TouchFlo, Manilla, and all that were awesome! But eventually I got tired of customization and just wanted a quick usable phone without having to rely on a random guy on XDA to get something working which should have worked out of the box. I then got a Nexus One and it was everything I wanted: a phone that worked perfectly! But eventually it got old, faster data speeds, better screens started coming out and I decided to get a HTC Sensation and later a One X. I hated Sense so I got rid of it as soon as I could and loaded up CM. Came across the same problems I had back in my Windows Mobile days of flashing constantly just to fix an issue. Got a Nexus 4 and 7 now and I don't need to flash anything. The devices work the way I want them to. The only thing that WILL get me to flash my Nexus 4 is if Google removes LTE. I can't give that up now :P

Also, I don't want to lose my game saves or reinstall all apps again :P
[Nexus 4 General] slapheady:
Seems like some people on this thread seem to equate root = custom ROM. There's a whole world of other stuff that can be done with root, even whilst remaining on stock ROM.

I haven't got mine yet :( but when I do, it'll be rooted immediately. I'll probably stick on stock ROM for a while, but root gives me the ability to adblock, install tracking/wipe software, get a faster gps fix, change the colour of the messaging icon (never liked it green!), etc, etc, etc!
[Nexus 4 General] Euthye:
This, my N4 isn't here yet, I got the pre del mail today, but this is what I've done on my Note just for all the great apps that need root, a big factor in not trying anything else on the Note were the Sammy Note features that I would've lost at the time of rooting.
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Been using smart phones for over 6 years. First one was a WM5 HTC Charmer and I have never rooted or flashed a ROM on a device. I like my phones stock and just cant trust what some random guy on a smartphone forum put together no matter how much praise he gets
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
EXACTLY this. Root /= Custom ROM. Since I got one of the first devices there were no custom roms for a few weeks, I still rooted because I wanted things like font changes, ad-free, titanium backup, root explorer, Samba wireless fileshare etc

Root simply gives you more freedom and flexibility. I think people worry that it's like Jailbraking an iPhone but it's very different. Root is not something Google don't want you to do and all their apps (and almost all others) will work fine on a rooted phone. The Play Store works fine and even if malicious apps try to run, you will get a warning that an app wants root permission so you can just deny it if it isn't something you chose to run.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes the device so it's worth doing early on regardless.

Rooting doesn't cause any headaches or problems, those are generally associated with custom roms or mods but if you want, just run stock rooted then you get the completely normal original factory rom but with the option to run a few of the root apps I mentioned above that make life easier.
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
Because I have a hard time believing that people who make custom ROMs and kernels can develop better than the people Google have hired.
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
You've never used cyanogenmod have you? There's a lot of just "common sense" features in it that aren't in aosp. Like real toggles, not Google's poorly implemented shortcuts. Talking toggles that are in your notification drag down. Also lock screen shortcuts. Why google has never implemented this is beyond me, but as a current sense user, sense also has that feature built in and I don't want to loose it so I'll probably put cm on just to keep that.

So yeah sorry to tell you but cyanogenmod does know better than Google.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
I have 2 N4's & one I'm getting for Xmas...

The one I have now I haven't rooted or rommed, just unlocked the bootloader.

I haven't rooted the one I have now because I want one that's running just as it should.

More often than not cooked roms are working then the next day someone posts this isn't working or that's not right.
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
That is irrelevant (not to mention just plain wrong). The thread is about ROOTING not custom roms. Two different things.
