This process doesn't seem to root the latest Tab's. Well mine anyway.

I have updated to the latest JM6, and run SuperOnceClick.

I then get the

"You're device is rooted!"

screen.

But untill I run Root Manager, and enable Remount /system as r/w, I don't get root r/w access. This I can understand.

However, when I reboot the TAB I have to go through the whole process again, ie run SuperOnceClick, and remount system as r/w.

I use Android Commander, and it starts with Root Acces No.

P.S. z4Root (v1.3.0) simply doesn't work, just crashes.

Anyone else with a US TMO Galaxy Tab not able to get Kies working?

I installed Kies, connected my device, selected Kies (firmware update) on the tab, and a box popped up on the computer "device connecting" and then "This device is not supported by Kies" Tried a couple of times, I was hoping for an update; but I can mount and see the card and tab.

[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
i have updated my tab with JM6 and rooted successfully with my method

i don't know what the issues might be....

i have euro tab..... may be the issue with different versions of tab

will test again on my tab this weekend and update if found any issues
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
did you enable debugging mode?

even if you enable debugging mode, this shouldn't be the error....:confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] AlpineM3:
So what is the verdict, too many different stories to come to a conclusion.....even one person said that the newest version of z4root crashed. Is it best to wait before rooting still?
[Galaxy Tab General] mixmaven:
Thanks for the idea but I already tried, didn't make a difference it just prompted me to turn off debugging. I am guessing other US TMO branded devices are not having problems with Kies?

im on windows 7 and im on tmobile and i can connect to my computer but for sum crazy reason i cant connect to kies as i notice this is for the u.k only
[Galaxy Tab General] Magaboo:
You are not alone. I have the Bell Galaxy Tab P1000 and I'm also unable to connect to KIES. It tells me, "Device not recognized" or some thing like that. I'm in Canada and was able to root without any problem using z4root.
[Galaxy Tab General] eddgarms:
Rooted Vodafone RO version :)

Worked on Vodafone RO version

Big thanx :)

EDIT: Unrooting works too :)
[Galaxy Tab General] cbb77:
I also am having problem with Kies on my US AT&T tab, but it appears it doesn't matter. I just proceed with turning on USB debugging and then executed SuperOneclick. Worked! I have loaded a few apps such as Busybox, Titanium Backup as well as executed the Rotobackup from the other thread. All worked great! Thanks all!
[Galaxy Tab General] jkhouw1:
US VZW tab here and also cannot connect to Kies (same pc studio mode issue as others seem to have)

Z4 root worked fine for me to get root (using the permanent root option, not the temporary root since busybox etc would't install properly if you use the temp root option).

If i want to flash future firmwares on this, will I need to figure out how to get the tab into pc studio mode? is this mode something the Evil Red Empire has blocked with their custom build?
[Galaxy Tab General] gnick666:
z4root 1.3.0 worked just fine for me, root stayed after factory reset... unlocked hungarian gTab
[Galaxy Tab General] J_Bone:
Sprint Tab here

Can't connect to Kies. Same PC Studio issue.

May give z4root a try but wasn't sure what to do if you need to do a battery pull, like with a phone?
[Galaxy Tab General] jeverton:
What OS did you use for SuperOneClick? Did you get any errors in the process?
[Galaxy Tab General] J_Bone:
Windows XP here. I couldn't tell if it was connected to Kies or not the first time and ran Superoneclick it went through it's process and said I was rooted. Superuser was loaded as well but I didn't have root access.

I ended up trying z4root and it gave me the Reroot option and it worked like a champ.

im not sure if i did this right, it said it worked, and ran a test, but it didnt take 5-10mins, it was almost instant

Use SuperOneClick v1.5.5 .. I just upgraded my firmware and rooted it.. but somehow swype looks different ( Smaller)...
[Galaxy Tab General] eskasi:
I just tried that with SuperOneClick v1.5.5 ... but it gets stuck at;

Running rageagainstthecage...

ROOTED

Getting mount path...

then nothing... it just stays like that. and it isnt rooted at all :( Tried it twice. Any suggestions?

Besides swype getting smaller (which I can deal with as its easier to reach one handed now), Dolphin HD now no longer does pinch to zoom (although Dolphine Mini does). Everything else seems faster....
[Galaxy Tab General] aidy888:
remove your microsd card.. and try again.. I accidently deleted my swype.apk could you help me out. PM me. Tq

Manual Root works for SprintGalaxyTab

the universal manual root posted on this thread

link: http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/26/universal-android-rooting-procedure-rage-method/

works. i installed all root apps and they work after powercycling. i tried the z4root route this afteroon and it hung for 10 minutes then my device vibrated every 2 sec for 20 min until it finally powered itself off. very scary experience. what works for some may not for others. the kies method in here did not work either for me. that software is trash imo. good luck to everyone

Probably a noob question, but does root work with any of the Tab versions? I have a verizon tab (no data) and my clockwork mod recovery doesnt quite work like it does on my Droid Incredible. Mostly referring to backup and restore. Thanks for the help.

[Galaxy Tab General] jones7773:
i rooted my galaxy tab (z4root) and, it has been running great. had been able to load and run any proggie i desired. ..last night, decided to load koush's bootstrap program, & maybe try a new rom.

loaded the program fine, Bootstrap Recovery, OK, then Reboot Recovery, it boots into recovery, does a backup, and, all looks fine. HOWever, when it began to reboot, it got as far as the "Samsung" screen & hung there for an hour or so. Then, Black, Darkness, Nada (after plugging in the usb cable, it did show a pic of a battery one time.)

it's not my droid 2, or, i'd just pull the battery and all would be good. ..any ideas??

thanks

*****

i went back to the market & checked the koush bootstrap program ..and, i read some of the posted comments .. other people have had the same problem, their tabs stuck on the samsung screen, or, it just froze completely. evidently, there is something in some of the tablets that prevent them from completely re-booting ..and, now, they are , siiiiggghhh, cryyyy, ..Bricksssss

can i still root after upgrade?:confused:

any sensible help is greatly appreciated;)

There was an issue with the Captivate and connecting to Kies....

Something to do with 15 character file names ( not sure about the actual number 15 but it was a really long file name :) )

Here's a little utility that will scan the Captivate and locate the suspect files for you so you can manually delete them.

I'm not sure if this'll work on the Tab but worth a try
[Galaxy Tab General] jones7773:
gentlemen, for what it's worth .. i had a NEW Galaxy Tab, rooted it with z4 root (after following instructions on first page of this post) and, as i mentioned in above post, it was working great. i then bought koush's bootloader program, tried to install it, and my tablet became a brick. no one could help, nothing we tried would fix it. ..it's still not fixed. so, a $2 program cost $599.

now, we begin again. once more, new tablet, but, when i loaded kies, it was a new version, and only saw my tablet as a dvd music player. got the error msg "has to be loaded in pc mode...." ..i don't know what that is.

so, once again, i used dropbox, copied z4root to tablet, and, "VOILA" now my new tablet is rooted and working fine. ..but, believe me, i won't be loading koush's bootloader on it! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

new & noob

Hi, just got my new SGT and been using it for a weeks now. I have read most of the topics about SGT here. I have my rooted Nexus One with desire hd rom and feels great to get out from IOS whatever.

Now heres my concern....

- does it matter what versions of Tab you have like, ver, sprint, att, tmob... before planning to root your device?

- z4root, superoneclick root, whats the difference?

- what is KIES?

- what would be next after rooting, lets says using z4root?

- will that install the clockwork recovery like what i have on my nexus one?

- what are the roms available for SGT? will the roms that I have from my N1 can run on my SGT?

well, these are just some.... and btw, running mac for my os, which is different.

Thank you all... more power to XDA

Reporting-in the results.

Hi to all respective Devs and forumers

I'm a user, not dev, double_newbie of Android +plus+ GT, Reporting-in the results. For interest of Devs, in case something unusual below???? which I would not recognize???

CPU_tuner 1.2 says ROOT, but: -

governors read write ok

Min Max Freq read ok, write failed

Up Down Threshold read write both "does not apply"

BusyBox 1.17.1 says rooted

Light Meter V1.0 not working, by Borce Trajkovski says need root and compatible sensor, may be GT is not compatible?

Root Checker by joeykrim says ROOT

Root Explorer shows rootfs(r/o) I presume read-only??? then button for "Remount as R/W". Hitting it works. click home key to go back out, recheck CPU tuner, still same as above. Light Meter also not working. Reopen Root Explorer still shows good rootfs(R/W) though.

Superuser OK, no bad anomalies, clicking the "LOG" forces problem to close :(

Titanium Backup, worked, backed-up all 266 apps+system

Chainfire's SGTbootloaderChecker 1.0 says all unsigned, zimage7680KB, boot.bin256KB, sbl.bin1280KB

Report ends.

May I ask is everything normal? Since I don't know to what extend does ROOTing go? level of deepness? level of access_ness? This is all probably stupid questions, but better be safe than sorry.

Much thanks !!!!

You are better off using z4root. at least you can choose permanet or temporary rooting.
[Galaxy Tab General] cornellalum:
Just got my new AT&T Galaxy Tab and tried following the instructions in the OP.

Kies wouldn't sync with my device.

I tried running SuperOneClick and it said my device was rooted but I launched a terminal from the GT and ran "su" but permission denied, so not rooted.

I tried searching for z4root in the market and could not find it.

I downloaded the z4root apk file (there's a xda thread somewhere).

I ran "adb install <z4rootapkfile>" to install z4root.

I launched z4root on the GT to finally root the device.

Hope this helps someone.
[Galaxy Tab General] mrbigtime:

when you install apps requires Root and you allow it,then you will see them in the list.

I had originally rooted using z4 and it worked great. A couple of days ago however, I received the OTA update from Sprint. It seemed to install fine, but it unrooted me. When I tried to use z4 again, it doesn't work. The app runs and I can click either temporary or permanent, but after 30 seconds or so of displaying "acquiring root shell", the app closes. When I check for root it didn't work.

Any ideas?

sprint/cdma galaxy tab

I just wanted to update the thread thatwheni first tried torun this itdid not work for me. but after i deleated all samsung drivers from my windows 7 box,then reinstalled the drivers for the tab( got these from the samsung website) it worked. So in order here is what i did to get root in about 30 secs....

1) removed all other samsung drivers from my windows 7 box

2) installed the drivers i got from the samsung website

3) connected my tablet to my box WITH USB DEBUGGING ENABLED...i am a self confessed noob so this might not mean anything but this is what worked for me

4) the pc then said looking for windows update driver...i went away watched some espn, cnn, bbc,and porn lol and in about 15 min i came back and all drivers where then loaded.

5)then i disconneccted the tablet from the box and reconnected it but DID NOT MOUNT THE TABLET and ran the superoneclick and presto it rooted in like 30 secs

i hope this helps some of the people like me who had tried various root methods including z4root and using kies software, etc. now lets hack the voice portion!!!!!;)

SuperOneClick worked perfectly for me. Took me like 20secs and was literally just a question of how quick you can click that button.

I'm based in SA so I'm assuming it's a Euro version Tab. Seems like a lot of USA Tabs work better with z4root as opposed to SuperOneClick.

I have an SGT, but I signed a speciel contract that I want root/flash the device..

[Galaxy Tab General] ryancpwalsh:
I originally used the z4root to root my device, but after installing an OTA update from sprint, I lost root.

The steps above worked exactly for me. with windows 7 x64 Install Kies (comes with drivers), enable USB debugging (only until you're done this process and then turn it off), plug in and allow Windows to install all the drivers (4 devices were detected on mine). After all devices are installed, run superoneclick.exe and root (or as the person I quoted did, you can disconnect and reconnect first, but there is no reason to).

Thanks for your help!

[Galaxy Tab General] Nayyak:
you should find "SuperUser" app in the App drawer.

you could try one of the apps in the market that requires root access.

you could also type "su" in the terminal and you should then get a notification asking you for a permission.
[Galaxy Tab General] slickb:
Does the statement below which is on first post of this thread still apply?

"I have tried unrooting the device and rooting it again and this is not working. so this is to let you know that you will have to reflash the firmware to root the device if you unroot it again using this software and try to root until some one finds a solution"
[Galaxy Tab General] ukyfan:
I went ahead and bit the bullet, and tried the temp root on my tab and it worked. I got superuser, but no busybox. Easy download from the market to fix that.
