Galaxy Tab - ****Noob Rooting Guide**** - Galaxy Tab General

************I have gifted by tab to my bro and bought a xoom so i dont have tab to test my rooting method and don't know if it works with latest gingerbread release*******************
Rooting Guide for Noobs
Disclaimer: The application is made by CLShortFuse and i am just creating a guide to root your Tab
Prerequisites:
1) Kies Software downloaded from HERE and installed and Tab connected even once
2) USB debugging enabled
3) SuperOnceClick downloaded from HERE
and a Galaxy tab
Process:
1) Connect your galaxy tab with debugging mode disabled and sync with Kies even once
2) Disconnect it and enable debugging mode from Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
3) Connect the tab again to PC and click on home button so that Tab comes out of Kies connection
4) Launch SuperOneClick.exe
5) Click on root and wait for 5-10 Mins
and the Tab is rooted........
Note:
I have tried unrooting the device and rooting it again and this is not working. so this is to let you know that you will have to reflash the firmware to root the device if you unroot it again using this software and try to root until some one finds a solution

Indeed. Couldn't be easier

and what about lag fix??

did you get locked galaxy tab?

Can someone perform a check whether Tab is able to connect to Samsung KIES application after performing this routine?

Disable the USB debugging mode and reconnect it to PC, you will be good to go with Kies

Beleive me, that i tried all possible combinations. I even reinstalled the KIES.
It recognizes that Glaxy Tab P1000 is connected and asks to switch into into PC Studio connection mode.

oh ok...... i will check it when i am back home in the evening......

Yea, I tried this app, and it didn't work. I also tried a manual method (ADB and some hex editing) of changing the unlock code, that I found in the Captivate forums... also did not work.
So far, there's no way to unlock this thing
Thanks for the suggestion though

Kies not recognizing tab

Ok, first off, yes, ive searched through general and development, but havent found anything that helped me to get it working. Ive downloaded the latest version of kies, set my tab to the original launcher, made sure debugging is off, and connected tab to computer, win7 64 bit. It scans for a few seconds then tells me my device is not supported? What do i need to do?

I'm getting the same message.

dont worry - the forums are getting bigger by the second and even i cant find the four other threads where ive answered this question
to connect to kies you must be using the stock launcher so
1. install homeswitcher
2. use it every time you want to connect to kies
problem solved, have a nice day
Did that, several times. No go. Still tells me device is unsupported? I also just installed kies on my laptop to see if maybe it was windows 7, but still wont work. Are there possibly some drivers im missing for it that need to be installed on computer?

With or without tab connected? Guessing without since it doesnt recognize my tab.

I guess that the current version of Kies does not support the north american firmware version yet...
Oh well... hopefully they'll release an update soon.
Did anyone get this to work with CDMA equipment?
jtc442, did I get you correctly:
Kies didn't recognize you T-mobile Tab and you then flashed with a Euro firmware and now it works + that Kies now thinks you have a GTP-1000 instead of a SGH-TXXX.
Do you know if Kies will work to do future updates?
Reason for asking is that I have a T-mobile model and I want to make it a GTP-1000.
Yes, that is exactly right. Before i flashed the euro rom, i would constantly get the device not recognized or whatever. As soon as i flashed i decided to check again, and it found it immediately. Im unsure about future updates though.

you cant extract. you have to flash another firmware.

Go to Samsung s2 forums for more info on rooting or else you can point the source code to chainfire i(n his cf-root thread) if he has time he will definately do it. But don't forget to donate him or whoever does it.

Need help to unlock Bell Galaxy S for Telus

Hi,
I bought a second hand Galaxy S a week or so ago that was modded with ICS installed. Since then, i've installed CM 7.2 and would like to unlock the phone for my mom so she can use it on Telus. When I bought it, I was told it was a Bell Galaxy S and since Bell and Telus work on the same network, it should be possible (I don't think it's a Rogers Galaxy S). It is already rooted and I tried the app Galaxy S Unlock buit it won't unlock the headset. The bars stay greyed out with a little X and no service. Can't get this to work, anyone have any ideas?
Try a different unlock app.
Otherwise, try flashing a rooted stock rom and try the unlock app again
Those apps are the easiest way to unlock the s.
Did you install busy box before using the app?

I think I briked the Galaxy tab 2

I was trying to root the device so i can get it updated from 2.2
I used Odin and tried recovery.tar file and now I'm getting a screen with a phone icon with a caution icon in the middle and a computer icon after it.
So I think I really messed it up
Any help
the thing is Odin is still connected
and no matter how much i try restarting whether in download mode or regularly same thing is still happening.
So if I can get some help would really appreciate it. I hope it can be restored

Does Odin still see the device? If it does, try to install the stock firmware. It may take some time to find it on the net. The first place I would try is here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and scroll down the page, put in your info in the drop down boxes and submit.
Thanks, Odin is still recognizing it
the original firmware was the ATT one
this Tab 2 has the 3G version
when I checked there I didn't see any one that was similar

It is a soft brick and is recoverable. Go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752 and read all the stickies in the general and dev sections. Apparently, you will not find an at&t rom per se, but can flash a new rom and pit, there are some very good detailed instructions available, but first read, and read some more, and some more after that. Apparently, your type of tab had signed bootloader issues, so be careful which rom you load. Also, as I have suggested with my links, go to the correct forum. I'm pretty sure you have a sgh i987, (based on the fact you were running 2.2 on at&t), and not a tab2.

Previous link was to the wiki, this one is to the forum. Many links will be dead and you will have to likely download the euro rom from sammobile. There is also a sticky for radio issues.
Thanks appreciate all the help AMD o just realise I said this forum instead of this link that you had pointed to earlier. So again thank you. I will read through it while on break and again at lunch and try and make sure I do it right. Most the rims I see at sammobile are 4.04 or above those should he ok right?
Again thanks and will let you know. Cause I got this yesterday for my wife. So.....

serial number R2YB51005k
model is SGH-i987
thanks it stopped coming on I realise I would plug it in it will come on then go back off not sure after how long it goes back off I know I had ti plugged in both via wall and computer.
via computer the computer did pic it up cause it showed drivers being loaded
Now no matter what I'm doing I get a black screen

Ok got it on charging same screen as I told you about before that I attached earlier
I've looked for the ROM suggest Euro but no luck, the links were dead
And while typing those last few words it gone back off, so i'm guessing it can only be on for say 30 mins.
If I can get the ROM and install it via Odin then I can possibly get it restarted
Thanks

Ok, as I suspectef, you have the galaxy tab, not the tab 2, hence this is the wrong forum. Go to the forum I linked to, there are some stickies about rooting, recovery soft brick, etc. My understanding is that overcome rom or p1000 should work, but you must follow whatever odin procedures, etc. they use. Chainfire has a great post up about recovering, however the file links no longer work. Go there and ask if someone has the file(s) you need. This guy lists the files he used from sammobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996970 You will not find the files in this forum, this is the wrong forum for your device, this is for tab 2 models 31xx and 51xx, yours is a p1000 branded.

Any developers still working on this device?

As the title says I am here looking to see if any developers are still working for this device? I am a wanna be developer tbh and I've decided to start on this device since there is little to no ROMs or Kernels for this device. If you are a developer that has this device please DM me! Looking forward to see what the future holds for this amazing device.
Please develop for this device. It's still relevant in in the tablet game in 2018 and is still being sold in the market.

To be fair man I didn't even know that device existed lmao, but all the tutorials will be old and outdated, so what I did was download these programs like Samsung kies but update it so it has drivers for Nougat and marshmallow.

USB debugging, yes. OEM unlock, greyed out.
I gave the wrong info. There is no OEM lock option on this sm-t378v. I was thinking of my pixel 2 xl... which is also still locked thanks to verizons mid cycle security patch. But, I digress, I'm working on my Galaxy Tab E Sm-t378v (verizon). I've tried using Odin but, I ran into this "secure download mode" which seems to prohibit Odin's communication. Any help would be appreciated.
I see by your signature that you own a SM-T560NU. That means you would only make roms for this model, right?
