Root you Galaxy Tab - It Works!

Taken from the Captivate from forums. The rageagainstthecage method works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
I have rooted the Tab using this one click method.

How do you have the Tab? Your using a prototype or something?

Got it from Italy. It is being sold there right now. I can refer you to an eBay seller who ships internationally if you like (via pm only)

I'm confused. Where is the info to root the Tab and my Captivate with the one click method. I don't see any instructions, links, etc. Did I miss something? Please pardon my ignorance. I'm new to Droid. Ditched my iPhone. Yay!!

not working for me
it seems, the one click root will work, but it does NOT.
superuser app is installed by oneclick windows exe, but if i start titanium backup, it asks for super user rights, but the super user app shows an error message.
"NO ROOT RIGHTS! sorry"
i got my samsung galaxy pad yesterday in milano/italia with stock rom.
useful hints?

Universal androot will not work, too.

Correction!
Titanium now works and is green listed in superuser app.(I HAVE INSTALLED THE BUSYBOX INSIDE TITANIUM )

The root method works.
You might need to try more than once, but it works.

Great work guys.
Once the Tab hits general release it might be worth re-posting the root method in it entirety in here, so that there we can keep Tab related root discussion in this forum rather than cluttering the Captivate one.

could you pm me the info?

working great here.... Thank you very much

I try with SuperOneClick v1.4, but non function.
The program say, after recognize the device that it's routed, but it's not true, is impossible to install busybox

install titanium backup, open it, give permissions, click on problems and it will download the busybox....... simple

I guess it's about a time to publish step-by-step instructions for android newbies like me.

Hi, I got today my Galaxy Tab and tried "One click root", but failed.
I found that when I connected to PC, my "USB debugging" is disabled.
Anyone has any idea? pls

disconnect it from the PC and then enable the debugging mode and connect it to PC

Did it. I think that you have to install Samsung Kies first, to be able to recognize the Tab correctly for exploit to run.
For me this solved the situation.

I tryed, but titanium backup say that don't have the root privilage to install busybox.
The problem is that SuperOneClick v1.4 say that the device is rooted immediatly after the device connect.
I don't understand why

root or unroot - get confused

hi all. i just update my firmware to P1000XXJMC, i root my device with SuperOnceClick. everything was fine, but when I try to install Titanium Backup, fail when testing root access. Same problem is happened in Android Commander...Any Ideea? Other application such as Market Enabler, busybox, works without problem...take a look at the screenshots!

Are you sure Busybox is installed correcly? I usually allow Titanium to install it's own Busybox and then install Busybox separately anyway.

Dave

Since last JMA Updates, i experience those problems with titanium after, too.
But, as on post before explained, i get rid of this by let Titanium install theire one version of busybox ...
Anyway, i would suggest to re-root again .....

Thanks for the hint. That was the problem. I installed BusyBox from market, and is working like a charm but only Titanium Backup. unfortunately the Android Commander still same....is there a issue of program it self? I mean, there is not support for Galaxy Tab????

Weird root issue

I'm on JMD firmware.I've done the SuperOneClick 1.5.5. automated rooting process.It said it's done.After that i have been succesfully started marketacces and emulated tmob us which needs root privileges.My problem is with the Titanium Backup:when i click on the icon to start it pop-ups the superuser(to alllow its root acces)then i click on acces and after it says "titanium backup granted superuser acces" or something like this, then TITANIUM BACKUP POPS UP THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE:
"Sorry i could not aquire root privileges.This application will not work!Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox and try again"
I've already rebooted quite a few times,wiped all,reinstall firmware and do rooting process again and same happened.
Any ideas or solution?

Problem Installing xRecovery

I ended up with a LOVELY refurbished POS as a replacement for my origional X10a through AT&T (trust me, I'm THRILLED about a refurbished piece of crap, haven't had good luck with these things) And I've got it flashed over to 2.1 update 1 with the baseband of 2.1.54, Kernel Version 2.6.29, and xRecovery will not install. IT loads just fine, gets SU access, and then the three little hourglasses come up with the No Smoking sign LOL! So, what's the issue?? Is xRecovery not compatable with the baseband?
Any ideas...?

What version of Busybox are you running? What method did you use to root your phone?
I know that some root methods (like SuperOneClick) install Busybox during the root process and the version they install is not compatible with xRecovery. You have to use the version from the Market for xRecovery to install.
By the way, this has been discussed many times already before in the xRecovery thread.

Its The Most current Busybox installed through Titanium Backup - and I'm sure it has been discussed...Lack of finding the specific issue lead to this post
Its Rooted with the super one click, But I believe that the busybox from Titanium is the most current...

Try installing busybox from the busybox app from the market.

It says in the first post of the thread it HAS to be the version from the Market. It says nothing about it needing to be the most recent version.
A similar issue was brought up on one of the last pages in that thread (it even had a picture of the 'no smoking' signs, as you put it, on the three files) and it came down to the version of Busybox the person had installed.
Though as subhankar suggested, you could try the manual installation route and see how that works for you too.
Anyway, I hope you get this resolved.

View the xrecovery apk in root explorer then copy the 3 files in Res/raw to the system/bin on your phone. The auto install from the app has never worked for me.

Phone suddenly says its not rooted?!? Help

I just started using DX and then i tried to use system app remover to delete something and then it says my phone is not rooted? i still have superuser and rootexplorer works. Busybox cannot be installed because its not rooted?
Any suggestions?? i need to root again or what??
Weird because root explorer works..and superuser is still there.

you have to root it again,
it wont remove any files
so if you did it once a second time wont be as hard

I also use Ginger DX, and have the same problem as yours. System App Remover seems not compatible with GingerDX. I suggest u to use Titanium Backup to uninstall system app. It works well with GingerDX.

This is a known bug... please refer to this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205566
Let's just hope the fund raiser is a success and DX will get a new X8 soon

1. try to get in terminal emulator (if you have one) and type there "su"
and check if ($ goes to # )
2. you might delete some essential app which helps system work in rooted mode so try to reinstall ROM. if still doesn't work try to root that again. (it's quite easy with super user one click)

just root it again.. only 1 click

No no no guys! It's a bug in the GingerDX series. Just wait for doixanh to fix it.
