ok I have been searching im lost in a sea of forum topics that dont seem to either work or relate to my GTAB . I have an original Verizon 3g 7inch Galaxy tab I would like to try a rom on it but it seems that my root method no longer works. but i cant seem to weed through the forums to find info on rooting it since its running the updated gb 2.3.6 is there a post out there in this vast sea of a forum that can help me ???? anybody ????
I wanna root so i can load cwm and install AOKP rom
I answered this question earlyer toady. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24634979&postcount=2
Thank you but i still am having issues with cwm installing.
Can someone please explain to me this problem and how i can fix it ?
sorry about the pic i know its not the greatest

First you need to do some recommended reading to understand how this awkward system of flashing from heimdall and the various recoveries.
This explains what can happen to your tab should you mess up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
This explains how to revive your tab from that mess if it is possible. Also shows you how heimdall works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
Finally, this shows you how ClockworkMod Recovery works. To get to CWM Recovery on the galaxy tab hold volume up and the power button.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
This should give you an idea of what can go wrong and how to fix it. Read carefully because you can disable your device to a point where you can't fix it and will have to send it to somebody who can.
Now there are two ways you can proceed from where you are at:
Flash a rom that doesn't have assert problems in the version of ClockworkMod Recovery that you have installed.
or
Directly flash a recovery and kernel from heimdall.
The easier and safer route is to just flash one of the roms that can be flashed from your CWM Recovery. This one will give you a working MIUI rom and CWM Recovery 5. Just follow the instructions from the CWM Recovery tutorial I posted and the instructions from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365089
The second route will give you experience on heimdall. Recoveries can be flashed using a recovery.bin and a ZImage file in heimdall. This will let you put CWM Recovery 5 on your tab no matter what rom is installed on it. Unfortunately the zImage kernel is not compatible with the stock rom so once you install this you will only be able to start the device into CWM Recovery.
http://cl.ly/AGBB - CWM Recovery 5 recovery.bin & zImage
To install fire up heimdall after reviewing the directions from the return to stock/heimdall tutorial and put recovery.bin in the recovery slot and zImage in the kernel slot.
Ok update thanks for helping everybody i have aokp working now but it doesnt seem to have any hardware accelaration its running slower than dirt
Ya I bricked it its done for good now can't get it to even turn I have no clue what I did.
guess I'm done unless there is a miracle cure out there
I'm 50/50 for rooting and flashing devices this is the 2nd device (first was an og Droid never bricked it) I attempted to play with in this fashion and its done as far as I can tell.......
Thanks

If it truly is hard bricked, I've had Josh resurrect my Samsung captivate using the jtag service. And Adam offers his own unbrick service. Both are excellent. Good luck!

frst i tried many scripts and roots and now i cnt even soft reset my phone...
bt i didn't give up
i installed cwm on s1 and flashed superuser 3.1.3.zip
thn installed the same cwm in s5..cwm was showing green lines due to the resolution difference i guess..so wt i did was opened cwm in both s1 and s5..saw the option to install zip from sd card in s1 and navigated to same option in s5 (if it was at no. 2 in s1, i pressed volume down in s5 so it navigated to no. 2 and pressed power button to confirm it)
thn i made sure tht the zip file was in the root folder of both sd cards and was on last number alphabetically so i flashed it on both phones respectively..jst tried my luck and i got my phone rooted...
IF I WAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN IT..JUST REPLY HERE ABOUT WHAT U DIN'T GET AND I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN AGAIN..
I DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN HARM YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY AS IT IS NOT MEANT FOR TITANIUM S5
I CAN PROVIDE LINKS TO S1 ROOTING TUTORIAL IF U NEED..
AND I GUESS U JUST NEED ANOTHER PHONE WITH CWM IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE S1...

i got what u said n thanks.but the point is that cwm of s1 is different then s5.that is y the recovery is screwed up.i thought of this method but i dnt want to screw the stock recovery.coz if we need cwm for our phone then we have to have the stock recovery.but i cannot make a recovery.img without root.so i am in a fix. if you can provide me with the stock recovery i can build the cwm for this phone.and the main difference is that s1 has msm8225q processor but s5 has a msm8625q.

and one more question. do you knw what is the original brand that produced titanium s5? i mean s1 is cherry mobile flame 2.0. so s5 should have a counterpart. if you knw please let me know

sorry! untill you have the stock rom.you are stuck. and even if you have a stock rom we need cwm to flash it. without cwm there is no hope. and moreover its not a mediatek device so on-board flashing tool is unknown!.
i dont think any dev is on this phone yet. coz s1 has created more hype then s5. moreover the processor s1 uses has been used before whereas our one is brand new. i cant get a single matching phone untill now. i m on vacation so cant get on my system.
if someone finds a rooting solution, i am ready to compile CM

Okay.....how do I pull the stock image..?? Any way without being root?
no way without root! or i do not know. we need root to run 'dd; or any kind of back up.
i am kind of confused why only this phone has this processor and no other. its performance is great and believe me much better then canvas hd (except for 1080p vids). a friend of mine bought it at the same time i did. so nw my phone still fast and kicking whereas his showing lag.

Exactly!! I bought it 3 days back as a temporary phone while I wait for the my nexus,,,but I am pleasantly surprised by the performance and the smoothness......a friend of mine owns the canvas hd, and it has a snappy and laggy ui....but the s5 is just awesome....feels good too!!
So where exactly do we go from here? What are the possibilities of finding a root for this device?
just came across this thread. i own s5 too.
as read in one of the above posts, one guy who used Chinese method of rooting, messed up his phone.
and one guy was able to r root by synchronising his actions from s1.
so if the former wants to restore his phone, he may follow latter's way of flashing cwm and ask the latter to provide a factory reset backup zip which the latter can flash via cwm by seeing the cwm in another phone.

hey I tried the flashable zip from Micromax canvas 2 jelly bean it's successfully flashed but root checker says phone is not rooted!!!
bull **** yaar
if you have already flashed then its most likely screwed your stock recovery. i want my stock recovery to be intact for cwm.
but how about flashing this device from a pc?
if someone befriends a karbonn klnic guy please ask him how they flash this thing. if we get the tool them we can flash rooted FW.
I've tried using several different guides published on XDA and other forums, and I still cannot get CM 10.1 to install correctly on my AT&T Galaxy S4. I have been able to successfully root the phone and install the latest version of TWRP (using the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262996). However, when I try to flash CM 10.1 using the file found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Jflteatt_Info , it fails. After reboot, it loads the Samsung Custom screen for about 10 seconds, and then everything goes black. I have to pop the battery out to power off. Luckily, I was able to use Odin 3.07 to flash the phone back to its original firmware. I've tried to do this at least half a dozen times, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea of what I could be doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate any help, or if someone could just point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I am in exactly same boat but right now I am using same custom recovery as you and afraid to do anything else. But I think here is what's going on. CM10.1 you're trying to install is not LOKID (LOKI is something to trick bootloader because our device bootloader is locked) So that LOKI thing should be on rom itself AND kernel. Our recovery does not auto-LOKI roms that's why you installing them and they're fail. So you need to install new recovery with AUTO-LOKI feature installed if you look in developer section you'll see. Now here is my question. How do I go from TWRP that been installed via GooManager to CWM - Auto-Loki edition ? Anyone 1.2.3.4 guide for us ?
Here are new Recovery that have AUTO-LOKI feature. IF your ROM/KERNEL already preLOKI (pre patched) it will still work it'll know rom pre-patched.

So anyone can get quick guide how to move from TWRP to CWM from above ?

HIT THE THANK BOUTTON IF I HELP:good:
Hey everyone, let me first of all say, that I am a noob when it comes to android (I'm using iphone) but my father got a gionee e7 recently and didn't liked how it looked and stuff. To the point, I tried putting a custom ROM on it but everytime I try, CWM gives Section 7 error. I read that if u remove the asserts from the script file it fixes it, but there weren't any asserts lines in any of the files. I tried at least 4 different ROMs, even tried stock rom with QCOM tools but nothing works. Currently, the phone is stuck at the Elife logo and that's it. Before I could access CWM from there but now i can't even do that. Any help is appreciated, if you need any info, just post a reply.
Thanks a bunch, and once again ,sorry, a big noob on android here.
Edit: I forgot to mention, CWM was in chinese so i messed around with it a bit. i went to advanced then clicked recovery or something, the phone turned off and i haven't been able to get to CWM since.
Still no solution, anyone?
