Follow that guide to root. Universal androot doesn't work on the Legend... You also need a new kernel to overclock, check my sig for a how to link

Cannot Unlock new Tab

Just got a new Tab from a carrier shop here in Kuwait with some, let's just say, undesirable applications preinstalled which I would like to get rid off. Read all (well most of the posts) but getting nowhere.
Upgraded to new firmware through KIES.
downloaded Z4ROOT and rooted succesfully (or at least that,s what the app is telling).
Tried to copy the nv_data.bin file to my sd card - cannot be done
Tried to open nv_data.bin in HEXEDITOR - no can do
Tried to delete application - nope
So some help is obviously needed here if anyone is kind.
Best regards
You did install busybox, did you?
Which firmware? Post what you are doing on the adb shell. Be specific or we can't help you.
You're right should be more specific.
Well I did not install busybox (no idea what it is for) and
Firmware version is 2.2
Baseband version P1000JXJK2
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
Build No FROYO.JPJK2
Hope this clears it.

Busybox gives you most shell commands (including, but not limited to, cp).
Thanks.
Installed BUSYBOX and copied nv_data.bin file to sd card for modification as per How to carrier/SIM unlock the Galaxy Tab topic from 17/11 but the address 0x181469 could not be found.
Also tried to uninstall the preinstalled apps - no success
need z4 unroot it
busybox
root explorer
Z4 unroot, DONE
BUSYBOX installed DONE
ROOT EXPLORER installed DONE
So

totaly worked for unlocking the SIM/carrier. Very easy and no problems encountered. Inserted a different SIM and made a call. Perfect. Thank you for all the work that made this possible.
However it still does not let me delete the APPs that came preinstalled with the Tab.
I am guessing this is something to do with the Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1. How can this be undone (another guess is flashing the ROM but i have no idea what it involves so back to the reading and learning)?
If somebody has a simple to follow guide and resolution to this please let me know the thread. Thanks
Have you mounted /system as r/w in Root Explorer?
Regards,
Dave
Dave, to advanced for me. How do i do that?
Just an update.
Managed to successfully flash the tab to the european version using guide from
[HOW-TO] Flash your at&t Tab to make calls + 1900+850 WCDMA - UPDATED
thank you it worked fine and i achieved what i was looking for: no more undesirable apps.
But, i lost the 3g and cannot get it back using the same guide as above.
With my limited knowledge of the whole thing I am guessing that this is to do with the modem.bin file. Will try to download an arabic version of firmware, extract it and try to use the modem file and see if it will work. will post an update just in case anybody is interested,
regards
I found it rather embarassing posting replys to my own thread all the time but I feel it might help somebody so what the hell!!
I finally got my 3G working on the Tab. A silly thing really: APN (Access Point Name) was deleted during flash and by adding and activating the APN i got my 3G restored.
Anyway, thank you guys for all the replies and help. Really good forum with a lot of useful stuff.

[Q] One-Click Rooting Stock Android 2.1

Hi there,
Newcomer to the forums - go easy guys!
I'm wondering what's the safest one click .apk I could use to root my LG GT540 using the stock Android 2.1? If possible I would like to revert back to a unrooted device within oneclick as well.
The only reason I am interested in rooting my device is to overclock it - by adding more power when needed, and to lower the frequency when I'm not using it.
Any help is appreciated guys, thanks!

Sorry, but you cannot overclock the phone without installing a custom kernel. But for rooting your device, I recommend z4root, it gives you the option to un-root too. Download the .apk from here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/17562655/z4root.1.3.0.apk/
Just put it on your SDCard and install with either APKInstaller or ASTRO File Manager from the market.
Hope it helps,
Jack
Okay, thanks!
Sorry to double post, but what benefits can I get from rooting my device?

You will have full control over the android filesystem with certain root apps (eg. Root Explorer) but rooting is actually quite secure, you have to allow or deny apps when they request superuser access. It will also allow you to WiFi Tether so you can use your phones internet connection on your computer (Your phone broadcasts a wifi signal that your computer can use for an internet connection)

Hi there, thanks for your help so far! Would I be able to change the top white bar (where the battery icon is) on my now rooted Android 2.1 stock?

For that you will have to find and download a moded/themed framework-res.apk .
You will also need to instal SDK tools and ADB bridge on your computer ( there are many tutorials on the net - google it )
After that you simply connect the phone to PC via USB cable , open cmd on PC and give the next comand :
adb push [directory of framework-res.apk ] /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
For example - adb push C:\Downloads\framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
if you have any more questions feel free to ask

Guide for unlocking fastboot and flashing custom roms.
http://androidforums.com/optimus-gt...nogenmod-7-android-2-3-4-avaliable-gt540.html
My app root toolbox will flash a recovery image, all download links in my signature.
For root access use z4root. Don't update to 2.1 because z4root doesn't work on some versions of it.
Also have a look here before you change roms/unlock fastboot

Nice to see you're still on 1.6 , We really need your help right now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
If you haven't already rooted , Follow these steps :
1. Download http://bit.ly/9wAKC5 and transfer to phones SD Card
2. Download Astro File Manager in Market (Or any other file manager)
3. Open the file manager and locate the application you downloaded
4. Click on the File and Install the Universal Androot .apk
5. Run Universal Androot and select Superuser for 2.0 - 2.2
6. Click 'Go Root'
7. Follow any restart prompts
8. Go back into market and download Terminal Emulator
9. Follow the instructions from the CODE box on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
10. The files will be created in the backup1.6 folder on the SD
11. Using a computer, .ZIP these files and upload them to the filesharing site of your choice
12. Share the link to us
13. Be very proud of yourself, you've helped us all
Then after , I would install 2.1 using LG Software Updater (Easiest Method)
But EVERYTHING is deleted , Including contacts and SMS when doing so. To backup contacts , click Contacts , Press Menu and press Export then Export to SD
To backup SMS I recommend SMS Backup and Restore from Market.
Hope I helped Jamie

and you told me to upload to official 2.1 android through lg site,, i am known that 2.1 is just, mmm , as 1.6 XD i mean, you have problems to install things in the sd, and many apks does not work, and the flash is dead x.x haha
but well, i'll do that first before upgrading to another version!

It won't

Worked for me! It was even easier than rooting an HTC Evo 4G. This thread, or at least the thread referenced in the first post, should be stickied in the Development sub-forum.
I am a Noob and I can Root my Note!
I had experience rooting a Milestone 2 with SuperOneClick and an unbranded Android Tablet with Z4Root. (Thanks to developers of these!)
Unfortunately, both these methods did not work on the Galaxy Note so I came here and found this thread.
Unfortunately, ADB drivers was an issue with the zergRush Exploit on first run. The easiest way to get around this is to install PDANet on Windows and have it install the drivers for you. No need to complete the whole installation, just watch when it's finished installing USB drivers and then when prompted to continue, just cancel. Then re-run the zergRush Exploit and it should do its magic (Again thanks to the developers who work on these!)
While I'm able to freeze some apps with ROM Toolbox, I'm unable to change boot animation or the battery icon. Would appreciate if anyone could help with this!
Rooting hav no relation to install official/crckd version of apk.
Rooting needed for those application which are needed to access your system data e.g backup etc
when you need to install these kinds of application (weather off/unoff) you needs Root.
The optional unrooting package works also perfectly (just for info)...
i have sent back my Galaxy Note to amazon just to wait for the white version of the Note.
This method won't increase your binary counter, so root and unroot it as often as you like
Never either had any problem at all after rooting it, so this method is also stable and won't crash your device in any way or crash any applications...
Root confirmed working here, superuser.apk doesn't have permissions set properly but still works, easy to fix, updates fine from market.
Awesome - confirmed working. This needs to be stickied... other websites are promoting netchips CWN kernel method instead of this MUCH simplier way.
For you noobs with a clean system (that means me!), get the following files:
Note I run a 64 bit windows box, get the 32 bit variants if necessary.
You need:
1) Latest version of Kies
www.samsung.com/ca/kies/index.html
download file for me was: Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe
2) Java:
www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Click on jdk and download. File for me: jdk-7u1-windows-x64.exe
3) android sdk:
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
My file was: installer_r15-windows.exe
4) zergrush root script
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859
grab the zip file in that page i.e.
DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING.zip
and unzip it to your windows box.
Install 1, 2, 3 in that order.
Find the SDK Manager program in your sdk install directory, double click it, and download/update 'Android SDK Platform Tools'.
Note you can't run the sdk manager program from the command prompt, or it'll complain that directories are being locked.
Now follow the instructions on the zergrush page, i.e. do the 'before you begin' stuff.
Go to the directory where you unzipped the doomlord zip file, run the runme script from a command prompt,and that's it.
To test, download terminal monitor, run it, and do a 'su' then 'id' and see if it says you are root or not.
Good luck!
