[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Router:
from noob to noob - to be able do things that manufacturer doesnt think of - adfree, clock synch, interface mods, changing the way memory works (get rid of stacking lags).. all in all improve things that in retail are sold to you and a "new" model))

And i know for sure

- 1)dont do anything before reading stuff here

- 2)if you dont know that you need it - dont do it

- 3)dont do things until you know exactly how to undo them unless you are looking for pretexts to buy yourself a new device.

sorry for this lecture)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunino1967:
Router thanks. Good informations.

I would like to root my SGT because I need CIFS access to my network share directories, in my Windows network. I found some prgs in the Market, but they need 'root rights'. So here I am. I will use this root app.

A question for you (you seem experienced) about the correct procedure to reinstall apps already installed after a root procedure:

1. Do an AppBrain Syncronize

2. Launch Root (Z4root)

3. Install the AppBrain app again and then connect to my AppBrain account to 'restore' apps?

Is it correct my idea?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmotech88:
that is correct, its not like the root we do when rooting and android phone like my evo, you can actuall run the z4root the run and install that program

When you ran OCLF, what was the amount of RAM you selected, I think by default it shows somewhere around 846 odd..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tushar.das:
Used it myself and it went smoothly. Far smoother than previous rooting methods I had to use on other devices.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Router:
Rooting does not erase your programs. It is recommended to do a backup though, since if there is anything that can go wrong it will)) Personally, I have rooted my devices (Nexus One, Hero, Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab) with no damage done. Your way seems logical, but here again, Samsung is a little tricky, so there will never be a 100% guarantee.

For some reason its not working for my Sprint tab. It just keeps asking to check the USB debugging which I have done numerous times. Then when I run z4 again its like a circle of death loading icon. It says "running exploit in order to obtain root access." But it has been on this same loading screen for 30 minutes straight. Must not working on mine oh well.

Was fast and easy on my Sprint tab. Got Adfree running and its sweet!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
I see a lot of comments about previous rooting methods etc. Easier than on other devices, etc.

z4root uses a (by now) well known exploit that will give you root. There are at the moment I think 3 known exploits that work on pretty much any Android device to get root.

These exploits are NOT device specific. Most of them should work on ANY Android 1.6-2.2 device (barring bugs in the exploit itself).

The exception is that some devices cannot be easily "perma-rooted", i.e. the root will disappear on reboot, though this can be circumvented by automatically rooting at boot. This is due to added protection outside of Android itself. Luckily Samsung doesn't make those kind of devices :)

z4root is just a repackaging of the exploit code with a nice UI slapped on top of it.

So again, these exploits are not device specific, it's no wonder it works on "pretty much any random device", the hole will probably be fixed in Android 2.3, and you really shouldn't donate to z4root for repackaging other people's work :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanderh:
I wanted to root my phone so I first used the following method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803927. After this went ok I installed a small application, Autostarts, which needs root. However, I got a notification that my phone needs root access.

So I dled Z4Root. when I started Z4Root I got a notification that my device was already rooted and asked me what I wanted. I just clicked on RE-ROOT and again this went ok. I thought my device would be rooted 100% sure now! So I tried autostarts again(the application that needs root) but I get the notification again that I cannot use it because I have no root access :(

What could this be?

I read the thread and didn't find anything , but I hope this isn't a stupid question....do I need to format the SGT's SD Card to FAT 32 like I had to do for my D-Inc in order to gain root?? The z4root process seems soo easy that I have to question this....thanks in advance!

people... i got both apk (z4root and visionary) but OBVIOUSLY the tab doesnt allow me to install 3rd party apps, can install only the one from the market...

it says For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market...

so... the "Unknown Sources" in Settings > Application option is not present...

so... the apk obtained from SEARCHING HERE AND GOOGLE are useless, eh?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
Alternatively, download "Superoneclick" from elsewhere on this forum if it's not showing in the market, it's pretty much just as easy as long as you've got access to a computer. You'll want to download busybox from the market and install that afterwards.

Or, boot into recovery, download the "rageagainstthecage" binary and the "superuser.apk" and do it manually, it's very easy. Instructions elsewhere on the forum. Use /tmp/ as the work folder on the device. It's a good exercise for noobs who would benefit from some basic adb shell knowledge.

I used the Z4root to root my Tab and it worked great until I installed the new firmware. Now I can't use Z4 or the superonceclick.

With the Z4,it gets to acquiring shell then autocloses. The Superonceclick claims that it rooted, and it installed the Superuser app, but when I open any app that needs root access, it can't open.

What's wrong, and what do I have to do to fix it?!?!

Dear all members,

I am trying to link up my contacts with Facebook and Phonebook, some contacts are ok but some contact when you link up, it will store the contact name in their Facebook instead of the name in the phonebook.

And there are some contacts, it will just store the name in phonebook instead of facebook so it is very confusing and messy.

No solution yet.

This is what I found so far.

1. If your phonebook has the same first name with facebook, it will use completely facebook name.

Example: phonebook name john, facebook name john doe. It will show you John Doe.

2. If you have different first name, ofcourse you have to join it manually, it will show you the name from your facebook.

Example: phonebook name Doe, facebook name John Doe, you will have to join it manually and it will show you your phonebook name.which is Doe.

Yeah... I've tried searching a lot, I just got this phone having learned I could port Android, but the problem now is I do have it running... but it doesn't run very well. I think what's happening to my phone right now is it's overheating, because I was actually trying out flash games just for kicks and it kept freezing(I have to take out the battery and put it back in just to fix it, and this time I actually had to reinstall android on my SD Card for it to work again) , same as when I was attempting to watch movies/tv shows. So, I'm wondering maybe if I change my winmo rom around and what have you that'll smooth things out. If anyone who's using MDJ's Evo Sense 2.3 build could point me in a good direction or maybe tell me it's something totally different causing my phone to lock up.

Much appreciated.

[Epic 4G Android Development] vaderj:
well in regular linux world, you format filesystems with mkfs, just typing 'mount' into the command like should yield what file systems are mounted, what fs they are and where they are mounted. So to format your sda1, you would 'mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1'. whether this works the same way in android its hard to say. good luck!

[Epic 4G Android Development] atkailash:
Swap isn't the same as a2sd, it's basically a drive-space extention of ram, not sure if android can use swap like linux can?

As far as telling if it worked, "ls -l /data" (no " ") and you should see something like "app -> /system/sd" on one of the lines.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
When you started the pertitioning process, you chose a 512mb partition size, then you were supposed to choose "OM" for swap size which in turn means that you arent choosing a swap size. So at the end of Terminal Elu's script run, you see'ing " swap partition not found " is normal.... I know that when I installed A2sd, my terminal said the same as yours did. But I do know that it IS working cuz I got Root Explorer and found where my apps are going cuz once you download them from the Market, they dont show up in your apps drawer until you re-boot your phone.....
