Come on guys, enough with the extremely complicated rooting process on the galaxy tab. Where's Unrevoked for the gtab? Or the other mainstream android devices.. There are more acronyms being thrown around in the development forum than needs to be. It's obvious many people don't have a clue what they're talking about.
All of my devices are rooted with some flavor of gingerbread (CM7,SalvageMod) excluding my tablet. I know that posting a whiny thread isn't going to motivate anyone but it may give some perspective.. SuperOneClick is about as close as i've seen it come to the what-should-be one click experience.
This forum is frequented by some of the most brilliant hacker/developers our world has to offer, I'm baffled that the galaxy tab is still a bastard child.

Step 1: Hook phone to PC....
Step 2: Run superoneclick....
Step 3: .........
Step4: profit!!!
Not sure what's hard about it. The galaxy development so far has been amazing roto Paul chainfire Techno and tons more. Awesome helpful devs busting ass in here

Yeah I should have been more clear.. flashing the right binaries and not going down a one way street with your tablet.. I have root, root is nothing special to the average user.
Rotohammer, technomancer, etc I know they do wonderful work. Technomancer is the very reason CM7 is running on the gtab
Anybody aware of any ROM developers (for any device, curious) that may have actually developed a complete root/rom application for windows/osx/linux? As in, click a button, root, adb push some files, reboot and start the install process?
Thanks!
I think you need to make the distinction between rooting and flashing a ROM or people might be confused by the thread title:
CyanogenMod 7 (CM7), MoDaCo Custom ROM, Rotohammer ROMs...these are all cooked or modified ROMs which can be flashed onto a device to give it (or remove from it) certain features. Root user access can be one of these features.
Rooting is the process of gaining access to the root (Super User) account on the device and thus being able to run applications which would have otherwise been restricted access to certain areas of the filesystem.
So flashing a custom ROM can be synonymous with rooting, but not vice versa.
I feel the same about the tab threads. The discussions, flashing, etc are seem a bit complicated. I am very greatful for all the work that the dev and chefs do, but it is easier to flash CWM and Android to my winmo HD2 than it is to put a custom rom on my tab!!! I have yet to make any mods to the tab othern than rooting because I really dont want to mess things up. I am waiting and hoping this process becomes simpler soon.

The MoDaCo kernel effectively does what you want - gives you CWM in recovery so you can apply update.zip files same as you would on an HD2, with the exception of radio images (as far as I'm aware, though even that should be possible).
Yes, you need to use Odin/Heimdall to flash the modified kernel to begin with, but that isn't exactly much of a hardship.

Exactly.. Flash modaco kernal using Odin, choose PDA and flash. Reboot and it auto converts to ext4 and voila cwm on the tab

His rom thread states that you need to have cwm on your tab before you load his rom. The only cwm that I see on XDA is a beta one. I really dont want to flash a beta version. Is there a full release for the USA Tmobile tab out there?
I have to agree. I thought coming over here while being an avid T-Mo Vibrant flasher that this would be a breeze. I have been real adamant about doing anything other than root my Tab because there seems to be more of a difference in things than I thought.
I am not one to come in and ask questions when I know the answers are out there, but I haven't been able to find a straight answer. I don't even know if what is already on my Tab is the newest or if I am missing out. I see posts that say "OMG Don't flash this or your Tab will grow arms and beat the sh*t out of you!!!" and I'm like "Huh?!"
My Tab has a baseband of T849UVJJB and the build is FROYO.UVJJB am I missing the best new thing? I'd love to give my Tab some Gingerbread love while I'm waiting on the guys to throw together something awesome with the newly released source on the Vibrant forums.

Yes, before you load his *ROM*. We're talking the kernel here. See this thread.
FWIW, pretty much anything you find on XDA can be considered beta software!

Yes, the MoDaCo kernel -- very simple to install -- it will include CWM and convert your filesystem to ext4. Even if you leave it at that, with your stock ROM, the difference is incredible.
Just flashed the kernel. Converting to ext4 and everything is backing up. Thanks for the info.

Use the kernal by Chainfire on top of Roto JMI. That will give you the CWM3 in one simple step.
You go on to the other kernals if you want to change your format of your internal sd card to the ext4 format instead of the rfs format.

The tab is a very wide distribution, so people of very different backgrounds are on these forums asking many of the same questions. On other forums someone asking a question that was previously answered usually gets disemboweled, but here we have a more patient tone, so instead of thinking before posting, we get way more than our share of "help, I think I melted my precious".
The tab is really just a bigger vibrant. They are 6 months further along than us. In 6 months this thing will make us toast and coffee.

Hello and welcoming myself to this new community of SGS 2 users. Coming from the HTC Desire section, I am quite confounded (entirely my own fault, of course) by the sheer confusion between the "Original Development" and the, uh, "Derivative Development" sections. More on that later, but...
Now what's REALLY confusing me is the complete lack of a start to finish rooting guide, or even a CWM guide for the SGS2 in the forum. Does anyone around have good link, and also where should I go to for my first ROM? Any ideas?
Go for the big well-known roms to start. VillainROM, Cognition or Lightning Rom. They all have tutorials to flash the specific roms when coming from stock.
I came from the Desire too, the weird thing about the SGS2 is that you flash roms that have the root installed in there. So you flash a rom with a rooted kernel inside of it, your phone is rooted. Change the kernel only to a stock one, root is gone.
So check the rom threads.

There are no pretty guides because , its so extremely easy to root SGS2 , all you do is flash "cf kernel with CWM" via ODIN = done you rooted
Then you have CWM recovery and you can flash any SGS2 ROM. No need for any hacks or exploits.

I was confounded by the mere mention of ODIN. Apparently, everybody knew where to download/get it and how to use it but nobody provided a link. I sorted that out anyway.
I had to appreciate the relative openness of Samsung vs. HTC at this point

No one seems to show GEN2 any love. Its all GEN1 and CUS7. For those that want GEN2 (I live in US), well here you are. A full image for Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. This is not edited in any way. (This means not rooted). This is probably not going to be useful to the average person. For a modified (but rooted) ROM of this, look here
This is not OTA and can be used without ClockWorkMod (CWM) or any modifications of any kind.
Unzip Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip and place update.zip on the root of your SD card.
I should also mention this is Honeycomb 3.2 for those that don't keep track of the build numbers (and who can blame you?), and this DOES have a locked bootloader. But, nevertheless, and valid source for flashing and other things!

This is not rooted, it is also bootloader locked. I do not recommend this for you. Try another rom that is 3.2, there are plenty now!

Yea I wouldn't worry 2 much about GEN2. If you have a choice, get GEN2. Otherwise it doesnt matter. The differences are mostly system files related to keyboards and databases and such from what I have dissected.
Like spelling color as colour and other oddities.

My friend is goofy and doesn't remember anything about how he rooted his Nook Color except he used autonooter. He asked me to take a look because he wants to upgrade it to get flash on it and give it to his fiance. I feel it would be easier to go back to stock and start over but if anyone else has any suggestions I would be open to them. All he wants is it to support flash.

Yes... one issue is that if he had CWM installed on EMMC it will not update correctly... you will need to use the stock 1.4.1 cwm flashable I provided in another thread and let the nook update.
I am adding snapshots of the 2 storage spots that pop up when I hook the nook to the computer, maybe it can help you guys determine what my moronic friend actually did.
pal jonny,
While I am proud of your generosity toward your friend by helping him but, seriously, if you don't know what to do, why take up that task? If you know then you can help, sure but based on question your asked up there, I feel you don't.
Getting confusing and performing what you not comfortable with could make your friend's NC a mess.
Your friend, seems like he did it b4, why not let him do this time since he collected all info anyway.

Because I do know what to do, I have rooted 3 phones but the Nook Color is new to me and I don't know what his dumb ass did and neither does he, lol. I am working in a different way than most people have, receiving something already rooted and not knowing what was done to get it to that point. I recently had to un-root my phone and it was easier because I was the person who rooted it to begin with.
I am also asking as many questions to get as much information to make sure I do not brick the device.

My suggestion would be take it back to stock... then install what ROM he desires... quite simple.
If so,
a. if you/he wants custom ROM, get CM7.2 RC1 (KANG is a great version). Just format /data, /system, /cache and Dalvik then install ROM
b. if you/he wants stock ROM, 1.4.2 is the latest. MN 5.0.2.19 should be a good tool to root.

Is there something wrong with the regular cyanogenmod stable 7.1?
If I go stock build does it include flash, he wants to give it to his girlfriend to play movies as well. I am trying to convince him to go with cyanogen mod but he wants the functionality of the nook software, I told him there is a Nook app but he hasn't gotten back to me.

Nothing wrong with CM7.1. It's your choice.
If he wants stock ROM then install stock for him, flash should be well supported.
Note: Nook apps is NOT equivalent of stock feature.
Why use nooks Os when cyanogen has stable 7.02 and a promising ICS? I say give the new phirenook. NOOBS seem to like the modifications. Then install the B&N app and she's good.
Just an idea. I haven't tried the stock for some time.
I am back trying to work on this nook color again and i can say without a doubt all he did was autonooter. So if I update to the newest version of the oem o.s. will it wipe out the autonooter because this will be easier for me if it does.
If there is any recovery on it other than B&N's stock recovery... the update will fail... look for my 1.4.1 cwm flashable stock file.
okay so iv had my tab for awhile now and had no need to root it since i used my phone for everything. iv been playing around on android for a bit now and before my milestone i had fun with windows mobile. so please do flame me as dumb and that i didnt look first. i see the bible for our tabs and that the root method doesnt work now. i used heimdall to flash a stock rooted ver of froyo and now it boots but i cant get past the activation screen. yes i have dont the vol up once vol down twice thing. it wont work and just sits on the screen. i can get past it. so now im about to go all the way back to stock and start over. if someone who is more familiar with the fourms then i am can post the links and steps i need to do to get back to a rooted tab that would be great and id be forever thankful. from then on im ok i bought that bootstrapper from the maket to save me time (plus i enjoy giving money to those who work hard for my free entertainment) oh btw should have said it first. i have the vzw i800 tab. thanks so much folks i really just want a working tab again. oh one last thing i have cm9 running ony my phone and love it...whats everyones thoughts on it for the tab?
once again thank you
so i get it this was a tall order and after getting everything working last night im up and runnning with a cwr rooted and on froyo....i wanna jump up to hc or cm9, or some kind of ics but i dont see much and the two i looked at and tried, the dl links are broke...so can anyone point me to the links of working hc or ics for a vzw tab please

i guess at this point i just need to make it ext 4. what vzw kernel is best for this? thanks for the replay
You don't need to make it ext4, you need a custom recovery so can flash ICS using CWM. The ICS zip will repartition and reformat anyway, so you have no need of converting to ext4.
You need a kernel with custom recovery (version 3.x or greater).

im good then i have cm on it and i think its 3.0 i tried flashing 5.x with rom manager and t started acting funny till i rebooted the recovery. i tried to install cm9 but it told me there was a problem with the package and gave me a code 7 i think. maybe it was a bad dl. ill try and redownload right now and try again. the first time i did everything manually but this time i was lazy and bought the bootstapper. i should be good right? thanks for your help.
i just re dl it and checked the md5. everything was fine. tried to install it and gave me the same thing. error in sd card/cm9 blah blah blah.zip (status 7) this is the step im having problems with
Which cm9 you tried to flash.
Maybe the GSM one?
Better go to rootzwiki.com and look for jt1134's ICS built there.

going to that site now. i hope it works. im kind of pissed off. every rom i try the dl link is broken or it doesnt flash. im back to stock re rooted and did the bootstrap. i just wanna get off of froyo at this point.
sorry if I am leading you on a chase.
I am not a CDMA user, that is why I don't really know where you should get your CDMA build.
But I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24986629&postcount=756
Go there, and find on 2nd line that says Alroger's Downloads.
That points to Alroger's external site.
He has a P1000CDMA build of the "TE4M version of CM9"
That will be your best bet.
jt1134 is also a TE4AM dev I think, or at least lots of his code in it.

no your not leading me to anywhere bad. its just a lack of upkeep on a old deivce its just harsh. im on that site you told me about and im finding a lot. im thankful youre helping me with this. do you know why im getting a error code (status 7) any and everytime i try flashing cm9? this is the nly things that stands in my way
from what I understand, error 7 is when the device you are flashing is not supported by the package.
Say earlier you tried to flash a p1000 rom into a cdma device.
I am almost convinced that if you get the right package, namely the one for cdma or "p1c" build, you should be able to flash it.
jt1134 is the most knowledgeable on CDMA CM9 builds.
yeah im on p1c builds and cdma builds....do you think its because im trying to go from froyo right to ics with out gb? should i flash cubbed in heimdall (3.2.x) before going to ics? or does it not matter on this device?
once again im so thankful for your help
which CWM version you have?
Apparently you need to have the latest 5.x.x ?
3.0...damn i didnt even think of that and i sould have thats whats going on with the photon right now. trying now thanks
that worked! thanks for the help
Hey guys, I am new to the Android scene from iOS jailbreaking, so I had a few questions.
1. Is it easy to upgrade to a later firmware rooted?
2. How/can you revert to stock OS from a rom without losing personal data?
3. What are the best tweaks and themes to get?
Thanks for the help!

1. yes. If the ROM is the correct version for a new radio update, just flash it. If it's a new version of the ROM, just flash it, or clear the dalvik-cache before you flash it.
2. nandroid or titanium backup pro.
3. root, busybox, tablet ui. As for themes, it's a matter of preference. Same as launcher, plenty to choose from, ADW, Zeam, Trebuchet, stock.
Welcome aboard, hope you do some great stuff for the community. :highfive:

How do you flash the rom? Dalvik-cache? Sorry the difference between this and the iOS community is ridiculous. Thanks a lot for the help!

You'll have to do an initial flashing of the recovery, see for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742919
(More will probably come out once the device actually does)
After that, ROMs, kernels, etc can be downloaded as .zip files and flashed via the recovery. More tutorials about this, including video, will also come out.
Some guy named zedomax is notorious for having fifty instruction websites, like galaxynexusroot.com, rootgalaxynote.com, etc. You can watch them for earlier examples, and he's promised a nexus7root.com or something like that.

So the one click root and other tools actually flash to the device?
Noob once again, but do the roms come with a custom flasher sort of thing, or is there a standard way to flash kernels and roms regardless of what they are?
I'm so stupid

My advice: read all you can about root, custom Roms, recovery, and about the android is.
Do not root until you know what you are doing. And using a one click root program does not constitute knowing. By doing this you will learn all you need to know to have fun.

"Flashing" is kinda a vague term. It pretty much means "copy stuff into the read-only part of your device's memory". So you might, for example, flash a ROM or an app.
After unlocking the bootloader, the initial flashing of the recovery has to be done via computer, usually via adb push. Some one-click tools do that for you.
Once that's done, you can flash zip files using the recovery. This is the standard way of flashing stuff and is very easy once you get the hang of it; all you need is the zip file.
Finally, a "rooted" app with superuser privileges can also write to the read-only memory, so there are some apps that flash certain ROMs and kernels for you and all you have to do is restart. Most prominent are ROM manager and kernel control apps.

It's a collection of basic linux programs, required for some other advanced apps. Chances are if you don't know what it is, you don't need it. However, there's also the offchance that an app does need it and forgets to tell you, so meh.
Rooting/Flashing custom roms is an entirely different world from "jailbreaking" in iOS. XDA is by far the best place to learn and get your feet wet, but don't get in over your head too fast. When you get it, ENJOY your device as it is first. A stock Android device offers 100000X more freedom than iOS.
It took me a month (after devs bypassed the bootloader) to get the courage to finally root my G2, and that was because it took T-Mobile an insane amount of time to upgrade this thing to Gingerbread. Before you do anything read. Then read it again. Then again. Once you get the hang of it though, it gets pretty fun.

Yes. I didn't read enough way back when I rooted and messed with my Cappy, and somehow got it stuck in an endless boot loop of death. So I will be a little hesitant to do anything with the Nexus until I am absolutely sure of whatever I'm doing. I suggest you do the same!
