Cannot root AT&T GT, with z4root

I just picked up my AT&T Galaxy tab, brand new. When I tried to install the z4root.apk file with the filemanager, I got a message:
"Install blocked. For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android market"
What gives? Three days ago I was able to use z4root to root T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab.
Is this device "locked" onto Market and how do I fix that without root?
The options are setting and cancel. Settings take me to "applications" and "development" is to to "allow mock locations" - but it does not make a difference.
PLEASE help.
Thanks

There is perfectly good z4root in the market, you don't have to sideload it.

i used it on my sprint tab and it didnt give me read / write access to system folder

you should remount the /system partition with rw access if you want to write there.

If it dont work the first time turn off the Tab and try again

Unfortunately Z4root was removed from the marketplace (again) yesterday. It was there in the morning but gone by the time I received my AT&T Galaxy Tab in the afternoon.
Does anyone know if Sideload Wonder Machine might work with Z4root on the AT&T GT, or another way to get Z4 on my Tab?

att tab blocked 3rd party apps need to use one click or flash euro rom on first

Off to work, I will give one click a try when I get home-thanks

ive tried that , ive used adb and root explorer neither of which actually give me access, adb just fails and root explorer says its r/w but everytime you do something it says its done but if you refresh the directory its still the same. I tried z4root, superoneclick root none seem to work I even restored my tab and started over but still no r/w access. This is my first attempt at rooting so maybe im doing something wrong but from what i was told it seems im not

I think you need to allow "Unknown Sources" under Application Settings. Try turning that on and see if it allows you to install.

Thanks
OneClick is working fine.

Please confirm, but I believe the issue is that AT&T has disabled sideloading, where T-Mo and other carriers have not.
I downloaded z4root last week but did not get around to rooting the Tab. Are we now saying that even though I have app, it will not work due to fact that it has been removed from Marketplace?
Will try the root when I get back home, but it sounds like AT&T Tab users are hosed for now.

[edit] - rooting with z4root worked fine. As long as you have it, all is good.

I have an at&t tab and no issue for me since i installed the euro firmware anyway. Up yours at&t!!!

Thanks maxtcee, my AT&T GT is now rooted!

After rooting w/One Click I did the WPA_Supplicant swap on the Tab for adhoc wireless connection. I have Wireless Tether on my Droid2 so now I don't need a data plan for my AT&T Tab!

With 3rd-party rom, can one still use AT&T's $25 2GB 30 day plan? Thanks! -- Kevin

Did you get any errors in the process?

Z4root gone from marketplace... how to root?

Seems that Z4root is gone from the marketplace. I am just learning how to do things on an android device, so please bear with me.
I have the U.S. AT&T Galaxy Tab and initial rooted it with Z4 when it was in the marketplace. I then later did the whole flashing to get the Phone and 3G working on the device. Now I want to fix the missing protected apps marketplace issue. In order to do this... the device needs to be rooted.
Now that Z4 is gone... is there another way to get it Z4 or to get rooted in general?

I had the same problem, believe z4root doesn't work with latest rom so I used this which worked like a charm:

you can install z4root through applanet

So this app called Applanet is something that I have to download on a computer and then it syncs with the Tab? Is that even safe?

Thank you.

What's stopping you from getting the App from Ryan's topic.

Side Load Works
Manually copy z4root.apk to the internal sd card
my files --> touch the file and let it install.
Activate usb debugging mode and run z4root

Really? You can just manually copy z4root.apk to the internal sd card, click it and install? And it actually works? I have the latest version of it too on my PC.

Yep, just get something like astro file manager and click the apk, it'll be installed automatically... after you enable 3rd party app sources of course.

How do I enable 3rd part apps?

You can use superoneclick root as well.

Thats how it should be, but didn't the greedy bastards (AT&T) disable sideloading in their preload? I don't have an AT&T tab so I can't check.

Root Access
Anybody tried to run some applications which requires root access after rooting.
It looks like superuser used is pushed into phone. But when you are running the applications which require root access, not getting any pop-up for allowing denying... any clues...

Working fine now.... Probably you need to add one last step.
6. After rooting, Reboot the phone to start using apps which need root permission.

GREATEST INSTRUCTIONS EVER! - How to ROOT your Samsung Galaxy Tab

There are many guides out there on how to root your Tab, but I wanted to create one that explains the process in extremely detailed instructions to help new comers. Most guides I see have many ambiguities in them that would cause noobs to get stuck on and panic. I wanted to create a guide that makes them feel comfortable rooting their Tab, knowing that all the information is in front of them. (These instructions are meant for Galaxy Tabs that are running stock firmware that have not received any updates from their carriers and so forth. Specifically, these instructions were tested on newly bought Tabs from T-Mobile USA)
The Samsung Galaxy Tab can be rooted quite easily using an application (app) called z4root. The app can be downloaded here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 (Scroll down to the end of the FIRST post and you'll see the file under "Attached Files"
This guide will help you root your Tab using this app. The instructions that I will be providing are EXTREMELY detailed and will help anyone new to rooting accomplish this on their Tab(s) quite easily. Make sure to follow my instructions carefully so you don't miss anything and I guarantee you'll be successful. Let's begin!
1. Download the z4root app from the link above either from your Tab or a computer (I suggest using a computer to download it. You'll have to create an account on the website if you don't already have one in order to download the file. Once downloaded, transfer the file to your Tab using the data cable that came with it. Select "Mass Storage" on your Tab when prompted. I suggest copying the file into the main directory of your Tab [Tab's internal storage, not microSD card])
2. Once the file is on your Tab, search for an application called "ASTRO file manager" on the Android Market. Download and install it.
3. In order to install the downloaded z4root app, you'll need to:
Go to SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > and check "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
4. Launch ASTRO and use it to navigate to the downloaded z4root file. If you downloaded the file from your Tab, it should be in the "DOWNLOAD" folder. If you transfered the file using a computer, just navigate to wherever it is you copied the file to.
Once you find it, select it. Choose "Open App Manager." Now choose "Install."
5. Go to SETTINGS > DEVELOPMENT > and check "USB debugging." Launch z4root then select the "PERMANENT" root option. The application should take anywhere between 30 seconds - 1 minute to successfully root your Tab. Once it's done, it should reboot your Tab automatically. (NOTE: If z4root gets stuck on the screen that says "Rebooting..." for more than about 5 minutes, try pressing the HOME button on your Tab. If you can get back to the home screen, manually reboot the Tab yourself. If the Tab is completely frozen at the "Rebooting..." screen, force the Tab off by holding the Power Button for about 6 seconds, or until the Tab shuts off then turn it back on.
6. Once the Tab is back on, open up the APPLICATIONS drawer. You should see an app called "SUPERUSER." If you see this application, then you're done! You have successfully ROOTED your Galaxy Tab. Nice work! If you don't see SUPERUSER, go back and repeat Steps 5 and 6.
Congratulations, you're now free to modify your Tab in ways that will enhance it's speed and performance by a great deal. The next thing that you would probably want to do to your Tab is to flash (install) an EXT4 kernel. This will convert the Tab's proprietary RFS file system to the EXT4 file system, which will increase speed and performance by a lot. Once you do that, it will be time to flash a ROM that has enhancements and modifications built into it that meets your needs. Rooting and flashing these ROMs will help you get the most out of your Tab. Tutorials like this one for flashing the EXT4 kernel and custom ROMs will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
If you have any questions, please contact me here on XDA for further assistance. Good luck!

If you searched before posting, you'd have discovered that *nothing* you have posted here is new. It also doesn't work for some Tabs with later ROMs, and for this you would need to use SuperOneClickRoot, or manually apply the RageAgainstTheCage exploit.
Regards,
Dave

It's true. Nothing new and it's not "Greatest"
Sometime we have to use the SuperOneClick.
Just for confirmation.
FYI

I had the z4root until the sprint ota update then I lost it I then tried the z4root root again and it wouldn't work so I tried superoneclick and it says waiting for device and stays there I have windows xp and a sprint galaxy tab in need of help I just want to be rooted again.

Pretty much Alex's guide is exactly how my rooting process went on my off-contract T-Mobile Tab. I will look forward to the next episode about flashing, unless I get up the courage to try myself.

Dude...seriously?!

Agreed. If I could only get Kies to see my galaxy then maye I could actually try SuperOneClick.

Hello dear friend and thanks for the instructions.
However in my Tab there is no "Unknown sourc e" to enable. AT+T locked it for good.

My DInc has been flashed more than a Girls Gone wild camera man and I still wont do the GTab.....soo complicated and just not worth it at this point. I have a Sprint version and it has gotten no love, nothing worth trying at least.
There has got to be an easier way.

Z4Root is a joke....
Sorry to say that I've tried this method and IT DOES NOT WORK (for me anyway). So what is a person supposed to do in this situation? Are there other ways to root the tab other than z4root?

Is this what happens on all newer AT&T GTs? I assume there is a work around that someone knows?

Is there a tutorial on what to do next to convert to ext4 and get cwm and backups moving along on the tab?

Okay, So I have tried to do the SuperOneClick and Z4Root, and neither work for my Verizon branded Tab. Rather upset as I would LOVE to uninstall the bloatware. I don't really want root access for anything other than that, and maybe a little overclocking action. Any word on anything new for rooting the Tab? Even this thread that is only a couple of months old seems "out dated" due to any recent updates from Samsung and the carriers.

I read that Z4Root would not work once Verizon's EC02 update is installed, so I used SuperOneClick after the update. I'll admit it's not as intuitive to use, but I searched this forum, found instructions for how to use it, and it worked OK for me.
