[Galaxy Tab General] lookass:
Ok finally rooted my tab. Here's my observations:

- unsuccessful rooting was computer/system fault

- tried on a laptop woth win xp - version 1.8 superoneclick reports driver error, version 1.7 cannot connect

- tried on a laptop with win 7, version 1.8 driver error, 1.7 hangs

- tried on a pc with win xp - version 1.8 reports drivers error, version 1.7 SUCCESS!!!

so:

if you cannot root your tab, don't blame android, try doin it on a different pc
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Good point. I couldn't even get 1.8 to install. Rooting is easy part. Someone find some stock sprint odin files.
[Galaxy Tab General] jerrylzy:
Thanks very much..
[Galaxy Tab General] VDub2174:
I posted this in another thread but wanted to get some help ASAP and not sure the thread I posted in gets much traffic anymore.

I was successfully able to brick my Sprint GTab :(

I honestly thought I followed all the steps needed but I must have messed something up. Is there a guide for restoring bricked GTabs? I know there are threads out there for restoring other Samsung devices (like the Epic 4G) but was wondering if there was one for the GTab.
[Galaxy Tab General] nutpn:
bricked tab

What exactly is it doing,what is screen doing,or?
[Galaxy Tab General] nutpn:
bricked tab

Here are some buttons that do different things,,,,hold up volume rocker and power button after it has been shut off,it will come on screen with reload, reboot,and various other items,you can try a complete rewipe data and load it by pressing that, and to scroll down screen the up down volume key does that and to select hit the home button,also the volume down and power key will load a update from sd card or computer after it is shut off,,so try the volume up and power button after you shut off and then select wipe and reload data
[Galaxy Tab General] VDub2174:
The screen isn't doing anything :(

I tried booting onto recovery but it doesn't respond.
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
if you arent getting into recovery you might have a real issue. i dont think however that youre ready to call that yet. ive read some folks say that they had to hook to charger for a while. have you hooked it up yet? do you get any images on the screen when you do? the issue i have been worried about with the tab is the "battery pull" fail safe that phones give you. if you arent able to get into download mode you wont be able to odin back to stock, but if all you did was root, i cant image you have bricked it. can you tell me what you did last to render it unresponsive?
[Galaxy Tab General] VDub2174:
I was following a guide to get CWM on my tab. This was the guide I was following when everything went down the drain. I was able to root just fine but I think I messed something up when it came to installing the kernel. I remember getting a boot loop after installing.

The last time I plugged it in to the charger, I got the battery image but it didn't go away after I unplugged it.
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
So you were flashing the kernel via cwm?
[Galaxy Tab General] lucky7875:
this may not belong here, but i am looking at the xoom and galaxy tab .. whats the benefits for one over the other? can i root the galaxy and be where the xoom is? thanks for not hurting me too bad :D
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
You're right when you say this isn't the right spot :-P honeycomb and form factor are the biggest differences and you can't change to honeycomb, yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] lucky7875:
Thanks for the info .. i'll search a little more next time i post
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Its all good my friend, that's just a better general q&a question than a root question.
[Galaxy Tab General] flyers2114:
Ok going crazy here a little.....when I search for kies on the website it states that it is incompatible:confused: for my device.....sph-p100.....can someone please direct me to the correct download? ......I am being a little more careful on this than a normal phone...no insurance offered from Sprint on this...:D....I could assume a few downloads that would work...but would rather be sure...thx!!:D
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Kies is no necesito. i was tripping out on that for a bit too but realized that was a weird way to make sure you could connect to PC.

im glad to hear you say that about the insurance, had someone tell me they were able to get it from sprint but didnt believe them. maybe thats why we are not seeing the speedy dev that other devices are getting.

im personally trying to find away to odin back to fully stock on the sprint tab.

youre a EPIC user right Flyer?
[Galaxy Tab General] VDub2174:
That would be correct. Was I not supposed to?
[Galaxy Tab General] flyers2114:
Ok cool...thx for the reply....yea they told me straight up no insurance....everything has to go through Sammy....yes having odin would make me feel much more comfortable.....yes, I still have the Epic also...:D
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
tell me how spoiled you feel after working in the epic forum. so much going on over there compared to here. but i guess it forces you to really learn your device.
[Galaxy Tab General] flyers2114:
For sure on that....lol

[Galaxy Tab General] narynan:
So I am having some issues getting this to work correctly. Some info about my device first.

Model Number

SGH-849

Firmware Version

2.2

Basebad Version

T849UVJJB

Kernel Version

2.6.32.9

Build number

FROYOUVJJB

It seems from reading around that connecting to Keis is not needed. I ran SuperOneClick and it just locks up the program. Yes the device is in USB Debugging.

What the world am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Not sure how you could have lost root while flashing a custom rom unless the root you had was kernel bsed and you used a new kernel.
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Not familiar with that model as I'm on sprint tab, but I as good with oneclick. Have you rooted before? Have you tried re dling oneclick? Describe what"the program just locks up" means to you. What os are you running?
[Galaxy Tab General] sukru:
Hello all,

Today I got my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab.

I always get "Device Not Supported by Kies 2.0" error when I try to run Kies for the device. I checked, and the drivers are there. Both USB Disk and MTP modes work without issues.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Kies, and also reinstalling drivers separately.

Is there a way to fix this situation?

I have Windows 7 x64 edition. The Kies version is from http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110521192620273/Kies_2.0.0.11044_11_3.exe
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Why do you want to run kies?
[Galaxy Tab General] wintablet:
What tutorial did you follow?
[Galaxy Tab General] sukru:
The instructions in the first post require it, isn't that so?
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
No you don't need it.i think that's just a way to get usb drivers.
[Galaxy Tab General] sukru:
thanks it worked without kies connecting
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Glad to hear!
[Galaxy Tab General] narynan:
Tinkered around awhile, still no go. Anyone got any leads?
[Galaxy Tab General] Seamus1:
For what it is worth, I was able to root my Verizon based Galaxy Tab using superoneclick with the rageagainstthecage option. So far, it seems to be working perfectly. I have a few apps that require root, such as Titanium Backup, all working as would be expected.

Like many, I tried rooting following the guide posted here. Like many also, I discovered the issues with Kies and the Verizon tab. Without being able to load the device in Kies, I just installed the drivers that came with the device and rooted from that point.

I'm not endorsing or suggesting what anyone should do, but this just happens to be what worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] treleung:
FYI- I had to reboot for the get root access after this process. Would not prompt me on any root-required apps until a reboot was complete.
[Galaxy Tab General] Seamus1:
Plus one on this
[Galaxy Tab General] Honkel:
Does it work with Gingerbread 2.3.3?

superoneclick hangs up, when psneuter comes.
[Galaxy Tab General] edounn:
I just got a tab. Adb installed z4root. Worked perferfect first time
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
I think that after this gingerbread release we will see some good custom stuff rolling out. I think I will start theming something when it drops. All we need now is a solid cwm!
[Galaxy Tab General] narynan:
So how do I tell what version of the Tab I have for downloading Kies?
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
What do you plan on using kies for?
[Galaxy Tab General] namaseit:
You don't need kies at all. i did it without kies cause it just kept giving me that crap about putting my phone into Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. So I skipped it and I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy tab. Just make sure you put it in developer mode.
[Galaxy Tab General] Noodled24:
The OP mentions Kies in the first post.

I can't connect to Kies unless I select "mass storage" when the menu pops up.

I could be VERY wrong here but I think the only reason it needs to be connected is to make sure all the drivers have been installed?

So given I am unable to connect to the Kies software (but have installed it and re-installed the drivers from the kies menu) I'm going to carry on and try to root my tab anyway. Fingers crossed!
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Yeah read back through the thread. Don't need it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Noodled24:
Done. That was easy enough. Bit of a wobble first time I tried SuperOneClick stoped responding. Rebooted the PC, tried again. Was done in 2 or 3 mins.
[Galaxy Tab General] Stu_Gotti:
For the Sprint GTAB, superoneclick should do it without any issues correct? I believe my reading this is correct.
[Galaxy Tab General] tpike:
Yes sir...thanks for reading thread :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] Stu_Gotti:
Excellent.

Now to wait... some more :]
[Galaxy Tab General] spiralz:
worked a treat on my tab thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] joshw0000:
Is this confirmed for all Galaxy tabs? I have a Verizon Galaxy. Also, I do not have a data plan (purchased it used). When I root, will I be prompted to activate (like it does when you factory reset)? How about when I flash a rom? Any way to bypass the activation without temporarily adding a data plan? The only phones I have are Thunderbolts, so temporarily moving my data plan would most likely fry my sim card and require I drive to Verizon for a new one.

Any feedback from Verizon Galaxy tab rooters wlout data plans would be much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab General] MeximCivic:
Waiting for Device...

I'm using this superoneclick app but I seem to have gotten stuck... This is what I have done...

Kies doesn't work so I uninstalled the Drivers and looked around for the Drivers straight from Samsung. Installed and ran SuperOneClick clicked root and received this message.

Checking Drivers...

Killing ADB Server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...

*Daemon not running. Starting it now Port 5037

*Daemon started successfully

OK

Waiting on Device...

... Then I have a non responding message on the title bar... Any suggestions? Please help!
[Galaxy Tab General] Stu_Gotti:
I'm not an expert, but it sounds like the USB drivers are not working correctly? Can you see your device via ADB?
[Galaxy Tab General] manekineko:
First post should really be updated given that this is the noob guide to mention that Kies sync isn't necessary (didn't work with my AT&T tab) and Superuser will not begin to work until a reboot.

I was really scratching my head on why Superoneclick was insisting I was already rooted while the Bootloader Patch for checking signed status was saying I was not.
[Galaxy Tab General] prezmater:
Just wondering if this method is going to work on the Sprint Galaxy Tab that I just bought from eBay. I just need to know if there was any updates along the way that would remove the ability to root.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] X1088LoD:
you lose root after any Sprint update, but running SuperOneClick again gets it right back again.

No speed bumps here.
[Galaxy Tab General] prezmater:
Awesome, thank you for responding. I am not going to activate it on my Sprint plan, I will just be using it for wifi, so I shouldn't even be able to receive Sprint updates. Glad there is nothing that prevents rooting though.

Rooting gives you access to the bowels of your device. If you are rooted you can install/uninstall anything you want, rms kernels, bloatware, etc. What flavor tab are you running?
[Galaxy Tab General] xxx_mosh:
Thats pretty cool, Um not sure how I check the flavor. I know the model is a (sch-l800)from verizon

Wait I think its froyo? 2.2

p7500ruxkh4

Hi guys,

Im reading and reading about the rooting.

I have a p7500 16gb 4G(well in fact 3G++) and wi-fi (p7500ruxkh4)

Im in canada (quebec province) and am with rogers

data plan, locked sim

honeycomb 3.1

My kernel is 2.6.36.3

Now i want to use some apps like titanium backup and some others that need a rooted tab and thats it. I dont want to change kernel or rom or whatever else.

googling "root p7500" i founded this LINK but the method seem to be much more complicated that the one in this thread.

I though that using kies and superoneclick to Root and be able to UNroot if i get any troubles and need service on the tab would be the easiest and the fastest way of doing it.

The link to dl Kies on the first post of this thread bring you to the p1000 wich is not the tab i owe. So i googled "kies p7500 and got this LINK.

i dl it, then updated the kies program and was ready to try to root using this tutorial.

Now this is where my problems are starting ; when i connect the tab to the pc to synch with kies, well kies says connecting........ then i get a pop up saying "impossible to start service, unconnect then reconnect device"

I tryed many times, rebooted and it still not working.

Thats why i come to the following question :

Wich is the easiest method to root and unroot my tab ?
