[Q] Cannot install busybox, nand unlock required??

Dear Community,
I have been trying to root my Galaxy Tab for few days already (Yes, few days).
I followed all the instructions on the forum and used the z4root which I downloaded from the forum.
The device indicated "rooted" then I installed the Titanium Backup but an error saying "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again."
Therefore, I downloaded the BusyBox installer from the market and try to install the BusyBox. Now there is an error installing the BusyBox.......
It says "Your phone is rooted, BusyBox was not found!"
below that there is a detailed message in red saying "The application failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount. Please use logcat at this time, get it from the market, to send a log to StericDroid."
I have no clue what is wrong now and I cannot find anything about nand unlock for the Galaxy Tab. I needed to do a carrier unlock so bad....
Please help!
Here is my galaxy tab's information:
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000XXJID
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 root sep-53 #1
Build number: FROYO.ZHJK1
Thank you very very much!

Do you have the "Superuser" application on your Tab? If so, try running it and check that Titanium is not disallowed.
If you don't have the app, chances are you are not rooted correctly - try SuperOneClickRoot.
If you do have Superuser, and Titanium is allowed, try clicking on "Problems" in Titanium and allow it to install its own version of BusyBox.

Dave

I have the "Superuser" appz installed but under the Apps, there is "No apps in list".
I also tried the Titanium "Problem?" solution before, it doesn't work. It downloaded the Busybox but indicated "installation failed, see web page for troubleshooting steps."
Should I "unroot" the device in z4root before I try the SuperOneClick Root?

It shouldn't make any difference.

I have had the same problem before. Install Busybox from inside of Titanium backup. Click on "Problems? " in the lower right hand corner of Titanium and allow it to install Busybox. Then you must select restart Titanium for the change to take effect. For some reason Titanium does not like the version of Busybox that is found in the market.
Edit: Sorry it looks like you have already tried that. I too recommend rooting again with SuperOneClick.

You could try to root manually if all automated methods fail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859712

Thanks very much for all the replies!
I will give it a try tonite and post the result later~

Ah....
It doesn't work for me!
Tried the SuperOneClock method and also tried the manual root method.
Both not work for me.....
I am still concern about a "NAND unlock" is needed for my Tab.
I posted the log message from the SuperOneClick here:

if you use z4 root method be sure you use the permanent root option not the temporary root. busybox,at least on my tab, would not install with only temp root access.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App

Yep, I used the "Permanent Root" not the "Temporary Root"
It is rooted by using z4root (that's what it said in the busybox installer) but cannot install Busybox.....

Checked the instructions for the z4root method, it mentioned:
With the absolutely beautiful ADB exploit, titled rageagainstthecage (ratc), absolutely ALL devices can be rooted. This is because it exploits ADB which all devices use. There is an issue though. Some devices have a NAND lock which does not allow you to write to the /system mount. Because of this, you can't copy su, sqlite or busybox to /system/bin.

The above highlighted sentences, probably is the problem which I cannot complete the BusyBox and su installation.....
Please.... does anyone know how to do an NAND unlock for the Galaxy Tab?
Greatly appreciated~

As far as I'm aware, there is no NAND lock on most Galaxy Tabs. That doesn't mean that yours doesn't have a NAND lock, as it may be something "new" that Samsung are rolling out, but it would appear that people having this issue are in a tiny minority. We need to ascertain if there is anything different about your device.

Thanks for your replied, Dave.
Any information I can provide to help ascertain my device's problem?

Since you've tried to root manually using RageAgainstTheCage, I suggest that a step by step description of everything you did, and the results would probably help.

FWIW, z4root v 1.3 doesn't work for latest tablet anymore. I did it using SuperOneClick then install z4root and root it again w z4root then I was able to install busybox.

I did this and it worked for me with no problems. Was able to install busybox from titanium backup. Hate to ask a dumb question but what now? What does rooting do for my Tab? Sorry I'm a total newbie.

Use "FlashTool" (Search the forum for this). It's the easiest way to root ATM and you can Install xRecovery and Optimize (JIT) as well using this same tool.

It is from 9th january. lates update from SE is about 31th jan. so i tried and it doesn't root my phone.
To flash my phone have some disadvantages in my opinion. For example i have to reconfigure it, including my contacts. Or is there an another way?

[Q] Can not root Defy after update, Tried several methods

Hey,
My girlfriend has a Motorla Defy.
When she got it, i wanted to update it from 2.1 to at least 2.2 so foolish me, I went with the idea to see how the Stock 2.2.2 looks like, if it is good she can keep it, and just root it.
Well its not that nice, and now I can not root her phone.
I tried Z4. I tried SuperOneclick (more than one version ) I had usb debugging on, and I tried a manual method i found here on the forums (it basically contained adb usage, as of pushing the files, and then changing the permissions of the exploit and running it)
And now I am out of ideas, as I use Samsung Galaxy didnt think about problems with flashing another rom (anything can be done with Odin).
I want to put miui on her phone, but i dont see it possible without root.
Her software versions are :
system version
version.34.164.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR
model number:
MB525
Firmware version:
2.2.2
Baseband version:
EPU93_U_00.59.00
Kernel version:
[email protected]#1
BPflex version:
UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version:
GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYORTFR_P014
Build number:
3.4.2-164
I think motorola patched the rageagainstthecage exploit in that update. =/
Any idea how to get rid of this rom, where i can use the exploit?
Yea, I can not downgrade, since it was an official upgrade, probably not downgradable....
Any any any idea please?
Thank you in advance to you guys.

You can try gingerbreak or flash clockwork recovery through fastboot

Did you enabled "debug usb" mode?

You could reflash the rom and try to root afterwards. personaly i never had problems with rooting my defy.

If you read my whole post, yes, I did enable debug mode during the whole process.

Did you use a "portal mode":
from SuperOneClick thread-
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.

Yep

To be honest, I don't remember. But I suppose not mounting the SD card is to make it possible to copy the exploit on the phone. That I could do.
I wish my girlfriend still would be here. (We live on different continents...)
She is kinda lazy for these things, but ill make her try a few things out.
The portal mode -you referred to -, is the charge only mode, i suppose.
Maybe i will try to extract the newer exploit from SuperOneClick, and just do what i have to manually.....
This thing is very annoying. =/

i updated to 2.2.2,i found i had to use superoneclick twice and on the second time it rooted

Can you tell me.....

Thank you in advance.

The "portal mode" is on the top of list (then connected USB, there 4 items - portal mode; charging; SD mount; none (if I remembered correct))

when I updated to 2.2.2, first I tried z4root - that didn't work. Then I tried SOC 1.9.1, it rooted OK, but failed on "not marked apps". After day or two there was v 1.9.5 and this do a job on "not market apps"

For me

For me SOC failed every version of it i tried. Z4 was trying but then exited, and nothing happened. Then I went on with pushing the files and the exploit onto the phone, and running the exploit by hand. Well, I didnt get root shell back there either, so I couldnt proceed. That is when I decided to open this topic.

I believe SuperOneClick has two exploits in it, this psneuter, and a certain 'rageagainstthecage'.
Did you try this one?

I used

Galaxy Tab 2.3 - Root won't apply?

Greetings everyone, it is now 5:23AM here and I am completely stuck as to why my Galaxy Tab (GT-p1000T Telstra, Australia) doesn't want to root itself this time.
The story is: I had my tab rooted on 2.3 using the method involving Odin (addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-on-android-2-3-3-gingerbread). It worked fine.
Problem: I am going abroad and will not have data. I order to have a clean phone and delete any data consuming app, I just decided to factory reset. I did that using OCW. I followed the same steps as above to root my phone. No error is mentioned anywhere. Odin declares the operation to be a success, except... when I reach the phone, Superuser isn't installed and every root-requiring app is telling me that my phone needs to be rooted. I can still see the icons for OCW and OCW Tweaks but both of them are asking for a rooted device.
What did I miss? I get the feeling like it is OrangeClockWork which is preventing me from rooting.
Can anyone help me? I greatly appreciate any attention

Install the following Apps from Market:
Superuser from Chainfire (free)
Reboot, and see if you can get superuser access on titanium backup.

I tried this but still no good. It seems like the tab didn't even get rooted. Root Tester tells me it isn't although Odin appears to have done its work. It seems like something is preventing the file from being transfered.

Well thanks for your help. Slept over it and decided to install overcome.
Except I didn't go all the way. I just used the stock JQ1 gingerbread firmware (which is better than Telstra's btw) and tried to apply the root from here.
It worked.
Thanks for your attention anyway !

I have been trying to root a Sidekick 4G for two days now. But the only process that I could find to do it that was currently updated was SuperOneClick. I am posting this to hopefully help others that might be stuck somewhere along the process because in my extensive searches, I have found so many people that were stuck at the same places I was, but noone seemed to have any answers other than re-install the drivers. Well I installed and re-installed the drivers about 10 times; downloading them from various websites.
Problems that I had:
- My Samsung drivers would install part of the way or not all all
Finally, what worked for me was to DL KIES from the Samsung Website. I installed KIES and let it fix the drivers for me! I was then able to get past the 2nd line in SuperOneClick where it was waiting for ADB but now...
- I was getting stuck at Step 5 in SuperOneClick and sometimes at step 7
What I found was that my virus software (Bitdefender) was deleting the exploits as soon as I started the root process! Even though I thought that I had shut down Bitdefender (in MSCONFIG) when I went back into MSCONFIG to check I found that Bitdefender was turning itself back on!
I found that there was a way in the settings within BD to turn off the autovirus scan for a short period of time. Once I had it all turned off, I unzipped SOC again (because BD apparently couldn't see the zipped up files and never deleted those). I reran SuperOneClick, then it finally worked!!!
Hopefully this helps someone from spending the hours & hours that I did trying to find the solution.

SuperOneClick stuck on step 5 for me too.

This worked for me. Couldn't have been easier.

Always used SuperOneClick to root my ML2.
Please, check this items:
- User Debugging Mode
- Motorola Flash Interface (on Device manager of your computer), if not show this, will not work well.
With your device manager opened, click on Root button and check if your cell loses connection when stopped at chmod command.
The SuperoneClick uses the zergrush tool and seems like a exploit by anti-spyware softwares. Make sure that you disable when runs the SuperOneClick.
