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.

I wanted to root my phone so I can add more apps to the multiwindow feature. I downloaded samsung multi window manager, and I also downloaded superuser. Everything worked fine until I open superuser, asks me to update the superuser binary. I installed and it says "There was an error installing superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer." Help please?
My phone is the AT&T S4, and pardon me if I don't know about much tech lingo, so please be very clear lol. It is my first time trying it. Thanks.

You aren't rooted.
Just downloading and installing SuperUser does not root a phone.

On that same link it showed a video as an easy guide. The host downloaded the root checker while the one I downloaded was superuser. Is downloading the other one gonna interfere with the system?

They're two different things. Root checker just checks if you have root. You need to root your device first. The kango root method seems to be the easiest. See the post and link just above yours by hovax
It worked!!
The Kingo Root proved to be much more beneficial and easier than going through all the steps! I'm so happy thanks to all of you for your help. :good::laugh:
Hey guys,
Quite awhile ago I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM. Unfortunately, I'm a bit sketchy on the details as it was awhile ago and I don't really remember what I did. Since that time it has undergone a Samsung update and I fear that it is no longer rooted. I am wondering how I should proceed as my firmware doesn't match the compatible firmware options listed under the rooting options and I don't want to just start doing things without being sure I won't brick my phone.
Pertinent details:
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: I337UCUFNC1
Build Number: KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
SuperUser was installed and running, but when I went to update it via F-Droid I had to uninstall and the new version of SU fails to update the SU binary on "recovery install."
Basically all I want is to enable tethering (I have AT&T unlimited).
Anyone have any clue what I'm talking about and able to help??
Thanks in advance!

Awesome.. for some reason I couldn't download it directly onto my device (kept saying downloading "unknown") as it would just sit there and not download anything. Just had to transfer the apk over to my phone. Thanks again.

If that does not work, you can try to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52167774&postcount=3
It's how I rooted mine, and how I continue to do it if I completely screw up and have to go back to complete stock. It is a bit more involved than the towelroot method, but if you follow directions completely it will work.
Hi guys,
I've had this note 3 for a year now and it's waranty has finally expired. That means it's time to root!
I've never rooted a device before and to be honest I'm VERY paranoid about bricking it because it's my baby!
I've been following the ChainFire thread and install video by TK Here
I've got the MD5 file and Odin3 installed. I've booted the phone into "download mode".
The trouble I'm having is that my computer can't find a driver for the device in this mode, it shows as it's snapdragon processor / mobo "MSM8960"
After looking about for quite a while, I've realized there are A LOT of variables when it comes to rooting your phone.
Can an experienced rooter please reply to let me know if I should be OK rooting my device. Info below.
Model number: SM-N9005
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: N9005XXUGNG1
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005XXUGNG1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 - 1955971
Thank you for reading.

Shameless Self Bump.
Just looking for a yes or no here anyone who has good rooting history
Hiya, first of all you need drivers, go to this site:
http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers
Download the drivers for the note 3, I'm assuming you're using windows 7, install the drivers &reboot your computer, then connect your phone in normal mode, not download mode. Once you've verified the phone is recognised as the note 3 disconnect the phone &reboot into download mode, leave for a few seconds &connect the phone to the pc, the drivers should install for download mode. Verify on the pc that the phones recognised, (under device manager there shouldn't be an exclamation mark anywhere really) One that's done you're good to go.
An alternative method to root is using an app called towel root. It's a new way to root using an exploit &shouldn't trip knox. Read up on it very carefully though, I think some ppl are having issues with it with the note 3.
See how you get on with all that lol.

- Regarding the device's info, you can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app for more detailed info.
- As for rooting, you can use any method to root. I personally use CF-Auto-root. Some notes: Install driver. Set USB Debug ON. Set Reactivation Lock OFF. Recommend flashing CWM Recovery immediately after rooting.
- You can get the driver here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25370185/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_v1.5.27.0.exe
Or you can install Kies so that the driver also be installed.

Thanks for the help, I'm planning on using the CF auto root myself, I've not tried to install the drivers through Kies because I wasn't sure if it would try to auto update my firmware to some unrootable version. I guess it doesn't so I'll have a look at that
Sorry I'm like new as of today to rooting, I've done iPhone jailbreaks but psssh, they're nothing.
whats the CWM Recovery?

Dont worry, Kies will not auto update without asking you. Anyway you can use the driver in the link I've given above.
Recovery is the special partition where you can backup/restore all phone firmware/data... Phone comes with the stock recovery, however its function is very limited, and you may want to use custom recovery. There are some custom recoveries available: CWM or TWRP... I personally use CWM. You can google 'CWM or TWRP recovery' for the download link.

Rooting never actually bricks your phone. But flashing ROMs does.Its not hard if you have proper instructions to do it. So just be careful while flashing or messing with your phone. Anyways congrats and best of luck :good::victory:
Hello!
These are a few files and guides for rooting a G930T with the Android Oreo 8.0.0 G930TUVS9CSC1 update.
Most Samsung apps, such as S-Health and Samsung Pay, will not function as Knox has detected root.
I've included a link to a patched S-Health app that allows for step-counting, but HR and Sp02 functionalities are missing.
Read all of this and the original guide linked at the bottom before performing any steps towards rooting the device.
-ROOT GUIDE-
-Backup any data on the device.
-Enable "OEM Unlock" in the Developer Options menu on the device.
-Reboot the device into Download mode. ODIN v3.13 should recognize it with an "Added!!"
-Add the v9 Bootloader into the "BL" entry box. Nothing else should be added or checked.
-Begin the transfer with "Start."
-Once the phone has rebooted into Android, open CMD with "cmd-here.exe."
-Enter "root.bat" into the command prompt window to begin the root process.
-Follow the root directions. There will be descriptions of each step in the CMD window, so read them carefully.
-Once the device has been rebooted and rooted, FlashFire, SuperSU, and other apps will appear on the device.
-Use FlashFire to flash the VoLTE icon removal zip. Check both mounting boxes for the flash to succeed.
The guide has been completed with hopefully no issues.
If for any reason there has been an issue or you'd like to unroot the device, stock files have been linked at the bottom.
In my experience, a factory reset and a flash of the stock files should undo most user errors.

Can somebody help me out? I am trying to go back to stock and despite having a free membership on sam, it will not allow me to download the stock firmware. It keeps telling me to sign up even though I am a free member. Free members should be able to get the latest firmware at a slow speed without paying correct? I dunno why somebody just doesn't toss these files up on a dropbox or google drive.

OK I have read every post in this thread and now my brain hurts. It's been a long day so I am probably just being stupid, however.... I have a 930 with bootloaderv9 I believe (g930tuvsacsg1). Can I follow the rooting guide but use the 930u engineer to gain root or is my phone still a no love zone>

I'm in the same boat. From what I can tell, it seems like T-Mobile added bootloader 9 to the update, but I can't confirm whether using the version linked to in this post will work without issue or if the versions have to be a perfect match to not fail/brick/trip Knox.
All I really want is to root my old S7 so I can play around with root-level access. I'm not using it for mobile data, just tethering to my current phone's mobile hotspot, so it makes no difference to me if I end up with a T-Mobile tweak of Android or something more like a stock version.

Hi,
Upon trying the files you provide, I get the above error msg.
I've search everywhere (I think) in order to find the updated BL...
Thanks anyway - If you have a solution???

Hello! I'm a newbie in all of this, so forgive me if I'm asking something obvious.
I used this thread to root my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Baseband version G930TUVS9CSC1, Android version 8.0, but I can't edit the hosts file.
Root Checker says Root Access is properly installed but when I try to edit and save the hosts file I get a message that I can't save because it's a read-only file system.
I tried to edit using ES File Explorer and Cx File Explorer with no luck.
A long time ago I had this same phone rooted with Android version 6.0 and I was able to edit the hosts file.
Any idea how to fix this? All help would be appreciated.
-------------
UPDATE: I found a solution. Another file explorer worked. I have no idea why the others didn't.
