Sorry I'm new to android and I've noob question
What do you mean:
1. ...to a tar file.
Do I have to create a file or it will be included with the download file or what?
2. Put the phone in to Download mode ready for flashing.
Is this Debbuging Mode?

Inside the 300MB .zip file is a 500MB .tar file. You only need to extract the zip and not the tar (which is also a archive format).
It's not debugging. Follow the instructions below that link and you'll see what it means . It's non-destructive, just power the phone off or remove the battery to restart the phone again.

Maybe clearer in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13712988#post13712988

Ooops, didn't see your guide when I looked in the ROM forum earlier Intratech.
You're welcome to add my Hotfile links in your thread.
I couldn't download from Megaupload earlier, limit reached for free users so i grabbed the ROMS from the Samsung server.

Can I flash the SIM free one on an O2 phone? Is the only difference the splash screens?

It's ok, I made it here and I think one of the mods got confused and moved it or something. No biggie.
Thanks to an awesome member, David Horn, we are getting a fast host setup to host firmware and will be testing it shortly.
I'll knick the O2 firmware off you and link it in that thread.

It will change the sales code to generic UK code, XEU, and remove all the O2 branding. It will not unlock the phone though.

Mujja, Intratech thanks for that. I have this done.

[GUIDE:In development] Updating + Rooting the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE (4G) for Verizon

Like my guide? Support me via donations: [email protected] and I'll continue writing more guides on whatever you ask me
It took me a lot of research to finally get my tab updated and rooted...between hearing about the locked bootloaders and such, but now...I am going to give you my guide to success...
Step 1 - Prereqs
Download this file Root Files
Extract folder to desktop and install driver's if you don't already have them installed.
Connect your tablet with ADB (Debugging) turned off (Ensures it is in MTP mode)
Step 2 - Copying files
Copy eh04_update.zip (If on EG04) and Galaxy_Root to your tablet
Step 3 - Updating to EH04 (If on EG04)
Completely power off your tablet
Once off, turn it on, when you see the screen light up, HOLD power+vol up until you see two icons
Press Vol up then press Vol down - You will be brought into the recovery menu.
Press vol down until you are highlighting "Apply update from /sdcard" then press power to select
Press vol up until you are highighting "eh04_update.zip" then press power to select
Tablet will update - this will take around 5 minutes and it will reboot on its own
At this point you are updated to EH04 and can stop here if that's all you wish to do...Below I describe how to root the device.
Step 4 - Installing Clockwork Recovery
Completely power off your tablet
Once off, turn it on, when you see the screen light up, HOLD power+vol up until you see two icons
Press Vol Down and when prompted press Vol Up
If not already, plug the tablet in, install drivers if you didn't listen in step 1
Open Odin from the folder Odin.

}
Click "PDA" and select "ClockworkRecovery_LTE.tar.md5" from the folder you extracted
If Odin does not show your tablet plugged in (yellow box with a COM port number) make sure your drivers have installed properly.
If everything checks out - Click "Start"
Once It has finished writing, the tablet will restart
THIS PORTION IS COMPLETED! You now have Clockwork Mod installed
[I'll finish it up tomorrow, I'm beat from no sleep]

Thanks for spending the time to write this up. I've been through the process twice now, but it'll be nice to be able to reference this directly whenever I need to go through again.

[Q] How to root ZTE V788D?

I need to root this phone. It has android 2.3.6
I tried searching in google but only CHINESE tutorials came up...
I tried superoneclick, z4root and unlock root. Nothing seems to work for me.
I also tried this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257
but I can''t start clockworkmod.
I used root checker to see what files I'm missing and it said su and sudo are not found.

thanks this works

Appendix: If you succesfully flash root (or ROM) you can discover that if reboot to recovery, it is back in factory english recovery. If you want upload the chinese recovery flasher to V788D again, it doesn't work. The very simply SOLUTION: 1) after install RE(root explorer) go to /system/ and erase the recovery-from-boot.p file 2) go to system/etc and erase the install-recovery.sh file. 3) on windows XP run the recovery_V788_v2.exe and reflash it again. Reboot phone to recovery and you have got the chinese recovery again ! ! !
Enjoy!

How to root, step-by-step.

ok guys, so first, i want to apologize for my bad english. im not very good when it comes to writing and talking.
let's go; what we are going to do is flash the ROM with aan included ROOT, with the posibility of wiping our device.
I remind you that: **I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR YOUR COMPUTER.**
**I RECOMMEND CHARGING YOUR BATTERY TO 100%**
**I ALSO RECOMMEND YOU TO MAKE A COPY OF ALL YOUR DATA**
YOU WILL MISS YOUR GARANTY IF YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE**
​
First step: DOWNLOAD THE ROM Through this link and place it in your desktop.
2. you will also have to download ODIN 3​
3.in Developer options, activate the USB Debugging option (Settings --> Developer options --> USB Debugging
Ok, you have to start ODIN and you have to get your device in Downloading Mode. (you will do this by shuting it off. and then pressing *VOLUME DOWN KEY*+*HOME KEY*+*POWER KEY*. when you do that you should press the volume up key) When you are in Downloading mode you should connect your device to your PC.
4. Once synchronized, with Odin, you have to select "OPEN" where it says PDA. select the archive you downloaded before. (the one with the name *I8190XXALK6_I8190XEFALK1_HOME_ROOTED.tar.md5*) (you have to uncompress that item before using it)
5. then you press start in Odin, and wait 'til the instalation finishes. the your device should reboot and odin should show a message saying PASS!
6. then you should be able to boot your device like you do normally.
EXTRA STEPS JUST IF YOU HAVE ANY ERROR​
1. if you cant boot, you will need to WIPE your device instaling this archive and use it like in step 4 through the PDA button.
2. if you still have any problem, you should install this following step 4.
how your device should look like

Any problem or suggestion, please comment and thank.

This will install an older December rom! I'm afraid it's a step back, and bad advice.
Most countries have moved on from the LL2 rom in that file.
The instructions also mention the LK6 rom, which is even older, and not attached above.

this is avicoh first rooted rom and it was posted here on the forum long ago. I dont know why u reposted, to be honest i wayted for u to post but thought u come up with another solution that doesnt include Odin.
Best regards,

Yeah this isn't anything new, I and everyone here thought there was some kind of new ROOTING method. The Rom is already Rooted.

This has been covered before in the correct forum. Read before posting.
