[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] HCgoh:
Root devices *Important Points

And Yes i woke up...

Anyway i do not gain credit from the guide itself as everything can be found in this forum. If you want to thank people, please thank the people that writes the program and the trial & error people if you find my thread useful. I am just consolidating all the steps that i used to flash my Tab, important things to take note of and etc...

Step by step guide to Rooting:

*Important points to Note when Rooting"

Process:

1) Connect your galaxy tab with debugging mode disabled and sync with Kies even once - You must be damn sure Kies can connect to your phone

2) Disconnect it and enable debugging mode from Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging

3) Connect the tab again to PC and click on home button so that Tab comes out of Kies connection - I found that after USB Debugging is turn off, Kies can still find your phone but it will just appear as Connecting... on the top left hand side of Kies. (I left my Kies on throughout the process)

4) Launch SuperOneClick.exe

5) Click on root and wait for 5-10 Mins - it stated 5 - 10 min but it took like 5 - 10 sec for SuperOneClick to prompt me saying that device is rooted.

And that all for Rooting whole process took me about 5 min Including all the reading. (Simple Great Job by SuperOneClick!)

Now comes the slightly complicated part: Flashing New Roms

Below is the thread that is used

1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894763

2) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827

What i did was:

1) Download OdinV3 1.7 (Provided in the thread 895827)

2) Download Addon-JME-Modem.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)

3) Download P1_add_hidden.pit (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)

4) Download Roto-JME-FmtIntSD.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)

Additional:

I also downloaded (But till now i have not use any of the file below)

1) Roto-JME-FmtIntSD-v2.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)

2) Roto-JME-Upgrade-v4.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)

Why is it not used, i myself is not too sure. For FmtIntSD alot of people is asking which is it to use as there are 2 different version 1 & 2 (i Suppose).

I have used the Version 1, as the time posted in the FTP link seem to be later than Version 2.

Also as thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827 shows in the screenshot, under tab CSC: Addon-JME-Hidden.Tar, this file is missing plus confirmation from the thread saying that it will fine without it.

Once downloaded, it is time to get to business =)

Steps i took:

1) Startup Odin

2) Connect Galaxy Tab to Kies make sure Kies is able to connect to the device and is able to Sync with device (Toggle with the USB Debugging option Either On or OFF) *My kies is never turn off from the start Rooting to Flashing* i think in order for Odin to work properly, Kies must be able to detect the device is been plugged in. (Just my Thought)

3) At this point of time Odin will also detect the device been plugged in as show in the screenshot provided in thread 895827. The yellow box will appear stating COM10 or 11 or 12 (DOesn't matter what com Number)..... Left hand bottom of ordin will also show Added!

Checked Make sure and double checked.... Yeah the next part!!!

4) Unplugged my phone from the USB

5) Off my phone

5) On my phone to get to the downloading mode (Hold Power Button and Volume Down Button)

6) Checked my Odin, Bottom left log shows REMOVED!

Hell Ya exactly the same as the sceenshot.....

7) Plugged in my phone with the Downloading screen....

8) Waited.... Waited..... 5 min pass..... Windows 7 is still searching for "Gadget Serial Port" Odin didn't detect the device connected.... don't have to worry Windows 7 will eventually find the driver, just got to give it sometime (Just in case you meet with the same problem like i did, Windows 7 took almost 10 min for the device to be ready)

9) Check Odin, Bottom left hand log.... ADDED!

Almost there.....

10) Plant in all the .Tar file as show in screenshot (Thread 895827)

*Please make sure you unzip the .rar file the logo is similar to winrar icon once you unzip. Can get a little messy, what i did was unzip and delete the original zip file that i downloaded. Remember JME-Hidden.Tar is not needed, just leave it blank*

11) Tick the "Re-partition" in Odin

Now you are all ready to start, double check all the setting and click the "Start" in Odin... =)

12) Pray.... Pray... Pray....

Whole process took me about 5 min, Odin will show you the details as it is flashing, Installing and Bla Bla Bla.... Once it is ready, Odin will prompt you either Successful or Failed...

Phone will automatically restart. Just leave it till you see the main screen comes out.

* I Succeed on my first try, so if you fail i guess you got more reading to do than me, but i am sorry that i am unable to help if you fail at this point*

Now then all good, checked my phone all seem well... did a call to my house number, Working....

Now the complication that i faced: My 3G (data Services) is NOT RUNNING!!!!

Did a search on the forum and found a few threads that is helpful:

1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901021

3) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847273&highlight=modem_bell_i9000

* I Have attached the modem.bin that i use to get my 3G working, but before you download the attachment please do a few check as stated below.Things to check if your 3G (Data Service) is not working:

1) APNs setting

Setting>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names

2) Select the Access Point Names and see if there is any setting inside.

3) If it shows "No Setting"

4) Tab on the bottom left hand corner of your galaxy tab, "MENU" button beside the "Home" buttom

5) select "Add APN"

6) Use the information below, key in whatever is there. Those that you don't know just leave it blank. (As long as your are in Singapore i believe you know which telco you are with)

StarHub (Singapore)

APN: shwap or shwapint

Leave user/pass blank.

M1 (Singapore)

APN: sunsurf

user: 65 pass:

user123

swirlyMMS :

MMSC and Proxy server settings MMSC : http://mmsgw:8002/

Proxy : 172.16.14.10:8080

MMS-specific APN Settings

APN: miworld

username:65

password:user123

SingTel (Singapore)

APN: internet

Username: 65IDEAS (or blank)

Password: IDEAS (or blank)

Once Key-in "MENU" button again and safe the setting, now go back to your APNs and check to see if you have selected the setting you key-in (Button on the right hand side will be "GREEN"

Now Wait & Pray that the logo "3G" or "H" appear on the top beside your signal strenght bar.

if no launch your dialer (Press Phone) and Dial *#2263# select "automatic" 1st option. (Select it once and exit by pressing "HOME" or "BACK")

Wait & Pray....

I believe this should get it going as under JME-Modem.zip, the modem should already be in.

__________________ I sincerely hope that you do not have to do the step below________________________________________________

If the 3G or H is still not showing after you tried the above step. Download the modem.bin (Attachment in this thread modem_bell_i9000.zip)

Then follow the step below:

1) Unzip the file

2) startup Odin

3) Browse for the Modem.bin, using Odin "Phone" Tab (File you unzip from the attachment downloaded from here)

4) off your phone and boot it up to the "DOWNLOADING SCREEN"

Checklist:

5) Re-partition is NOT tick

6) Odin detect your device

Hit "Start" and wait for your phone to reboot.

*I succeed with this flashing of modem, if you fail all i can say is good luck*

Once your phone is up, check on the APNs setting again (Key-in the details is there is nothing in the list) Check on *#2263# and set it as automatic.

Then End.....

Conclusion:

I use the exact same step for my phone, and get it going. I hope it helps you.

Again i would want to highlight that none of the above is by me, all information can be found in thread posted by other users. Please give thanks to them as they are the one doing the job, taking risk to try ROMs, Root and etc...

=) i hope my thread helps anyone with the same problem as me...
