[Q] How to r00t Samsung GALAXY Tab?

Apologies if there are similar threads.
I am looking for an 'easy way' to root my GALAXY Tab. I have used the android z4root application but it didn't successfully root my device and just hung for a while and did nothing.
I would like to know if there is another way to root the device. I want to have root so that I can slightly overclock the CPU, for now I am not majorly interested in custom ROMS as I know there still in early stages of development.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks peeps!

Same here. Z4root crashes on my device with latest firmware

I installed the tools with OCLF one click lag fix then ran z4root. You can also install busy box with Titanium before you get root.

Thanks, but is there no tutorial on XDA that explains in detail how you can go about rooting your device. I've not be able to find anything with the search tool...?

With z4root being so easy and available on so many devices, alot of the tutorials with adb push (or what ever) or how to manually root have disappeared with few exceptions. Now it seems people find work arounds to Get z4root to work as the alternative is more difficult. It took a very long time to root on my SGT. On my DroidX it took three times to work and root.
And to the poster above about OCLF. I did the Install ext2Tools. The OneClickLagFixv2.2+ became available. When I run the OCLF 2.2+ I get an error with code: Could not mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 onto /dbdata/rfsdata: mount: device or resource Busy.
I rooted with z4root first and then VZW Tab bootstraper by Koush CWM which converted to EXT4, then I ran OCLF EXT2Tools. Would this be an issue? Sorry I'm a bit new to SGT.
And I don't mean to hijack thread. Tia

Check the sticky in the tab dev section

Thankyou! Found it in the reference Bible. That is a very nice sticky and should keep me busy.

3. How to copy/delete/edit/change permission with Root explorer

Since I'm a newbie at this stuff, just wanted to ask if rooting my Note would erase the data stored in my phone memory?
Also, should i make a backup of all the data incase anything goes bad??
P.S - thanks for the tutorial..

Rooting, doesn't erase anything.
But yes it is always advisable to keep backup of your important data, though you may have limited option to backup on unrooted device. some suggestion
Contact - inbuilt import/export or google sync
Msgs - use SMS restore backup appl
Applications - Non root version of My backup application. though you can backup only app not data of appl like game level, credential etc.

Haha
Classic Music Dr...

Thanks for the suggestions.
One last query. Is it necessary to flash another ROM after rooting the phone? If so, could you please suggest me an easy to use ROM and a tutorial on how to flash it would be really helpful!
P.S - I apologize for being such a newbie but this is the first Android phone I'm using!

In short - No.
No need to flash another ROM once rooted although it's preference. You can happily root your stock ROM and maintain root access which will allow you greater control and of course the ability to run Root only apps.
If you wanted to try out other ROM's, check out the development section, Most ROM's have a video or step by step walkthrough on how to install..
No need to apologise, and if you've not used it already - here's a great thread that should answer a lot of your questions;

Flash custom rom
Hi,
I followed the steps given in the video and was able to root successfully.
Now, Can i directly flash the custom ROMs (for eg. ICS Stunner 1.6.26 which is an ICS ROM) through CWM?
I read a warning that said flashing custom ROMs on ICS kernels can lead to a hard brick and that we need to flash a safe kernel like Abyss Kernel.
Here is a screenshot of my About Phone.

Sorry i do apologize, i did read it that bit, and did not think to apply that to the video as well.
let me see if i got this right:
i've dl'd notecore v13 standard
got pc odin
reboot into download mode
start pc odin, click pda, and select above kernel, wait for it to finish
reboot phone
start triangle away - is this safe to use, the warning was quite alarming?
thanks

Telstra JB Update (NEEDs STOCK RECOVERY)

Hey guys so heres the good thing we now have official aussie JB Release from Telstra.
Things you should know though is if you have TWRP or CWM as your recovery you will not be able to update at this point.
1.) If someone has a copy of the stock Telstra 4.0.4 ICS Recovery could you please attach to this thread (I was stupid enough not to keep a backup of my backup) Myself and im sure some others would much appreciate
or
2.) If theres way someone could do a full dump of the WHOLE rom (boot,recovery,system,fsg,modem,cdrom) so that I and others could just flash our phones that way
I have PM'd Apacheo to see if he has a copy fingers crossed
I hope this ends up being a very helpful thread lol.

+1
I'm in the same boat, would really appreciate if someone has a copy of the stock recovery.
used to be a link to it in the ics fastboot image thread but it's dead now.
thanks in advance

I took a dump of the stock telstra ICS using p3droids app. Surely someone else on here has updated and could do the same with the JB version?
Come on guys help those who help others.

now that you mentioned that, I've just tried that fastboot image (just to have a complete ics base for OTA), everything goes well, after reboot it hangs at the pulsating motorola logo (previously running the verizon jb by "firmware team" on my unlocked M)
I even tried p3droids app to dump my current setup then tried flashing it back...same thing, stuck
sorry Cuzzo for hijacking your thread

How important is the baseband version?

Hey guys, I'm new to rooting (recently switched from iOS) and sort of the whole community. I want to root my i9300 but I want to be as cautious as possible. My question is does my baseband version matter when rooting my factory unlocked S3? I don't think it should but just as a precaution, I want to know everything there is to it. Btw, I have also attached a screen shot of the device info menu, and I was wondering if anybody could confirm that the rooting process go flawlessly without any worries on my device. Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Baseband is modem relative to local networks.
It is not firmware version and has no bearing on root.
Please read the faqs and guides first.
[READ THlS FlRST] POST QUESTIONS IN THE Q&A SECTION AND NOT HERE!!!!

As above, you really need to read and understand before you take another step -otherwise you are likely to destroy your phone.
A good tip is to use CF Auto Root to obtain root, which has very little chance of breaking the phone if you follow the instructions exactly. Then backup your efs folder before you do ANYTHING else.

Im sorry for posting blindly. As a side question, would I need to back up the EFS folder if I dont want to flash any custom roms? I just want the cool root apps Thanks again
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

always backup efs
