Hi guys, i just got my Galaxy Tab I/O Limited Edition 32GB Wifi only..

Android Version: 3.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number: HMJ37.UEKG4.P7510UEKG4
how do i see if this is rooted or not?
Can i flash custom roms? sorry to ask, but im a newbie in this. seems confusing ...

Hi mate.
I'm new to all this myself.
First you need to root your device:

Then you are ready to flash a new rom. I used the task650&phantom rom and I'm going to use the pershoot kernel when I find out how to do it.
Here's the rom:

My advice is to just take your time, do a bit of research and follow the steps carefully. Oh and back up.
Off the top of my head you will need the following apps: RomManager, titanium back up and titanium back up pro.

A quick way to see if its rooted (doesn't always confirm if you've moved files and/or apps around) is to look at your apps list for "Superuser".
If its there and you didn't put it there, you're probably rooted.

Thanks Paul!
I followed the instructions, but it went to FastBoot instead of Recovery.. how do i fix that ?

No probs. I'm sorry I haven't got a clue how to help you with that,
I'm sure someone on here will though.

Anyone has any idea how? Im stuck on the Fastboot , couldnt get on CWM after flashing via odin.

Not to sound like a total jerk... But i recommend that you read and read ana read and watch many vidoes before you start flashing/rooting/modding/hacking/whatevering...you will thank me for this later when you DONT screw up your device... There are a few guides within this forum that are decent... Still not noob friendly like they should be but after some good reading i think you can get the hang of it...

[Q] Note 3, impossible to custom rom?

I must be terribly impatient or not understanding what I'm doing, probably both actually but I cannot for the life of me find a working method for loading a custom rom on my phone. Could someone PLEASE point me to a resource that will work for my phone? Info provided below:
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Provider: Verizon wireless - USA
Quoted info from settings > About Phone:
Model number: SM-N900V
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: N900VVRUCNC4
Kernel version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 MON April 28 16:42:37 KST 2014
Build number: KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4
Hardware version: N900V.07
Security software version: MDF v1.0 release 2
I have root access thanks to towelroot
I have supersu as well. Every guide I've found for different rooms has been busy. I've only tried safestrap methods because I know I can switch back to the stock rom slot and have a working phone again. Im weary of methods that wipe out the stock rom as I really don't want to end up with an unbootable brick.
Ive tried cyanogenmod, and a TouchWiz room who name I can't think of at them moment. Both roms simply booted to a black/blank screen.
I really like the simplicity of cyanogenmod and it is my preference but I'm open to others. Can anyone please advise me on my options please, I've about reached my words end here. Why must these companies make it so hard to make the devices we pay hundreds of dollars look/act/be the way WE want them to be as the now owning consumer?!?
Thank you for your time, help, and guidance, I have nothing but respect for all the developers in this community, wish I understood the system better so I could be of more help as well.

Do we need NC 2 and how would we install it?

I'm in a similar sitch. I have rooted my phone after the NC4 assault using towelroot. Note to those who plan to use it: there are some hijacks out there. Don't go to towelroot.net for example. I have downloaded a couple of safestrap apk files and have been reading up on how to install safestrap. Once installed, then what? I think I need to install the NC 2 kernel but how? What's a kernel anyway? How is flashing a kernel different from flashing a rom? How is an android kernel different from a linux kernel? I can't see a way to run linux commands anyway...

Hi guys! There's a ton of guides on the forums that answer your questions. If you need help you are best of posting the exact steps you took up to that point and at what point you are stuck. Wikipedia also has a ton of information on the basic computer science stuff (what's a kernel? etc...)
Good luck

The root methods you have listed are intended for older versions. The only functioning NC1 root method is towelroot. Please check the all things NC1 thread prior to posting. All info can be found there. The person above has given the link to towelroot. If you go to the galaxy s5 forums, you can get a tutorial on it, but it's pretty straightforward. Enjoy your rooted device.

Remember that the phone has a locked boot loader. So, the stock kernel and recovery cannot be replaced. The only working recovery is safestrap. There is also restrictions on the Roms that can be flashed.
