3.2 Korean 10.1 Gtab in hand. What do you want to know? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

Just received my gtab today. Updated to 3.2
Seems there are a lot of people curious about it so I'm here to help, or try to at least.
Notes:
1. I do NOT have windows. Running on a 64gb ssd mac so I wont be able to be bootcamping. I may have access to a windows PC here and there but my response may be slow.
2. I am on Korean time, so please be patient if I do not respond quickly.
3. I am an android/tablet/rooting NOOB. You must explain some of your complicated requests thoroughly.
Quick question. Can I root this baby? I heard installing rooting somehow messes up the screen for recovery mode.
*Added picture of settings
*Added picture of apps (in case you wanted to see what the korean version has to offer)
Random things:
1. For those saying pen memo is slow/horrible on 3.1, it is still slow/horrible on 3.2. I tried sketchbook mobile and my galaxy s2 is way more responsive.

Thank you for the awesome support, let me see the hope of 3.2. Waiting for developers wake up to see this.

We fixed the handwriting just recently, but it requires root.

Threadjack here, but... Errrm... Where is the handwriting fixed? More importantly to me, is the fix likely to be applicable to an 8.9 tab?

Go to 10.1 development thread "solving touchscreen sensitivity". I'm almost sure it will work for 8.9. If not let me know i may look to kernel sources.

So this is for the Wifi 10.1?
OK pls show the build.props file

d4mn...why some people get 3.2 update? hopefully samsung will release the update to all tab version..

We need you to use ADB to copy out the /system folder. Don't worry, the /system folder won't have any of your personal information in it. You don't need root to do this. The instructions are above, but the command is slightly different on mac. Let us know if you need help doing it - there are plenty of us that are good with ADB that can help out.
Samsung is so annoying. I would be happy with them if they just leaked these updates more effectively.

forget about samsung, that's what is great about xda, you can get early or unreleased versions thanks to all the great developers.
Aigoya, can you post a rom dump for us to mess around with? Then we can see if the standard root will work.

My mac isn't detecting my tablet with the steps that I followed. Pretty sure this is why people have been avoiding macs when rooting. I'll have to find a windows computer... somewhere...

Just download terminal emulator that's how I did to get a dump a dev required once
So just type your commands on terminal emulator and then just connect to your mac via remote wifi to extract the file and done
You don't need adb

Well, I'm avoiding root right now as I know that booting in recovery mode for the korean models has scrambled/unstable screens.
I attempted to pull the system from a windows computer but the PC wouldn't read my tablet. I dled the usb drivers from samsung page model for the model GT-P7510MAVXAB. (I couldn't locate any usb drivers from the Korean samsung m380w page. It only has a manual). And it wouldn't read the tab =|

Thanks for the attempts brother. Task650 posted up his 3.2 rom in the development section.

Please don't clutter the development forum with requests. Put requests in General.
Edit: also, if you can't root the Nexus S you should really consider whether or not you should be tinkering with your phone at the system level. Because this is the easiest phone on the market to root.

Excuse Me Master Dev, however I am a long time "tinkerer" From the G1, HTC Hero, Samsung Epic 4G all rooted the "Hard Way" I am having issues because my Windows 7 - Java can't find a path in path on most 64 bit systems and we are having issues with the crap we are supposed to download to root Nexus S 4G 2.3.4. Damn-it I want a solution, I will join in the forums like I did in college and assist with the one-click root method. However I Work! If I have to donate $$$ so I can root and help thousands in the process I am fine with that! The instructions are not clear what so ever.
One more thing if it was the easiest phone to root their would not be over a hundred sites showing mis-information about rooting the NS4G.
YouTube Video would be great too, I will do once method is established!

Hello,
I've created a zip file for you, which contains:
Nexus S USB drivers
fastboot.exe
lastest clockworkmod recovery image
and a script to guide you through the whole process, and basically do it for you
This is the safest, easiest, and best way to root the Nexus S. Everything you need to do so (instructions included) is in the zip file. I hope it works for you, I don't see why it wouldn't.

mmhmm. qft
This thread makes me a Sad Panda.
Seriously
The concepts are easy.
1. Install working fastboot driver (I used the one that installs with PDANet)
2. Download SDK and extract to someplace, root of C:\ is most common
3. Boot into fastboot.
4. navigate to the tools folder of the sdk.
5. type fastboot oem unlock
6. use fastboot to install Clockwork
7. use Clockwork to install SuperUser
There has never been an easier phone to root. Creating a "one click" root would be as simple as creating an installer package that automates those steps. One would probably want to get permission from June Fabrics to use the driver they packaged.
I'll put one together later if I have time.
This may sound ****ty, but if someone can't follow the instructions for installing the Android SDK and Phone Drivers then maybe they should consider the benefits of running the phone in a carrier/manufacturer supported fashion.
It's not the instructions I had trouble getting the sdk going Java can't be found in path on my 64 bit system. I was able to get rooted using the fastboot, unfortunately though because of Java I can't get the sdk to update or use eclipse

A Root Exploit Idea

Now I have never actually created an exploit for rooting a device, but I had an idea about one, as I have a general gist about it. I don't know if this is what RazorClaw did, but surely something can be done with Asus App Backup? Seeing as it has read and write access to apps, is there the potential to add a backup that will install root in some way?
Just an idea... really want to root my sbkv2 b70!

First of all, RazorClaw is the only option for SBKv2, and it was fixed in the latest update.
To the OP:
RazorClaw was used to invoke root user access, then remount /system as rw, and add Superuser, plus the matching su binary.

I would say it is pretty likely that Asus will continue to close root exploits as they are discovered. Especially so for ones that can be done via an installed app, as malicious apps can (and have in the past) make use of this with ill intent
That's fine, as I am sure I wouldn't update as quickly next time. I only did because it was on 3.1 and I had just got it and noticed huge lag on keyboard and device. Wanted to make sure it was updated, but didn't realise it was an Apple style mouse game of closing exploits!
Ok guys that method linked worked perfectly! Now I just need to know how to install CWM. I get a android with a caution exclamation mark. Any help appreciated!

How to: Honeycomb to ICS non us Xoom?

I`ve just purchased a XOOM in the UK.
I didn't realize the UK hasn't received the ICS update yet. Please could somebody let me know how I can flash ICS to my device. Honeycomb is sooo out of date. I have a Galaxy Nexus so used to flashing.
I've been reading around and the solution seems to be to flash a US rom. Would I still be able to download apps not being in the US?
You need to unlock the device using the android sdk. Then you can flash the American rooms they work fine just make sure you are installing 'wingray' roms.

you can OTA all the way up though after you flash the US 3.0.1 image if you prefer.

[Q] Rooting a TF300T Help please

Hello
This site is bewildering, to say the least with so much information that my little furry brain is going pop.
I have a TF300T which is only days old and I'm considering rooting it but I don't know where to go for my research for fear of buggering up the device.
As far as I know from reading various threads the build number is important and, if I am looking in the correct place mine is .26
Could somebody please point me in the right direction?
I was going to start the rooting game with my Samsung Ace phone but the thread I found on this site had links to files that no longer existed, probably because they are now obsolete.
Cheers

AFAIK factory reset doesn't do change your firmware. You will have to downgrade following the link posted before.
I know that this may sound like a daft question, but is downgrading a bad idea?
I only ask because after researching how to soft mod my Wii, I got loads of advice saying that downgrading a wii was a bad idea. Now I know that a Wii and a Pad TF300T are two different beasts but they both have the potential for me to screw them up.
as long as you follow the instructions in the downgrade/root thread you will be fine.
Also, questions should go in the Q+A forum, or in the thread specific to what your question is about.

You will only be downgrading for a little while to get root, after you get root and back it up you can upgrade to the latest firmware (.29) with no problem at all.
So that I don't make a ****-up could I please confirm the following. My build number is IML74K.WW_epad=9.4.3.26-20120416
Am I right in assuming that I have build .26
And that I need the WW blob file?
Cheers
Yes, you are.
I have a Firmware update ready and waiting for me to install.
If I intend to root my Tablet, is it a good idea to hold off the Firmware?
Or is it a wise option to update asap?
hold off from updating anything until you fully understand the downgrading possibilities/process and what could go wrong with that.
.17 is where u want to be for Root.

As stated in the guide you can use method 2 or the oneclick downgrade. If you aren't too sure on adb just go for the oneclick downgrade. Please read the guide cautiously and take your time no need to hurry.

The oneclick downgrade is the easiestway. Just make sure your rooting for the right reasons. So many ppl ask "what do i do now?"

Kind of sucks that the one-click script is Windows only. But using the command line isn't difficult, and I'm more than familiar with Linux since it's the main OS I use. Still was hoping the "script" would be multi platform and run through ADB shell, not a separate Windows program.
Anyway, if you choose to manually perform Wolf's second method, you put each line in one at a time. You could put them all in at once, but there's a certain way to do it, and most people would stick to one line at a time anyway.

Yes. You need a .17 WW blob => But, its not available (anywhere).
So you can use a US Blob .17 => But it won't OTA update on WW models.
So basically you have 2 choices.
Rooted .17 US
Or
UnRooted .26 or .29.
Pick and choose.
thod a bit too much

I may be confusing this ROOT idea from what it is actually for. All I want to do is make an exact copy of my OS which I can revert back to if I ever have any problems such as a bad update or a virus/malware issue.
I have found this method or approach very useful in a microsoft environment to problems or if I just wanted to try an new OS such as Linux and then revert back to Windows 7.
I also notice a lot of stuff in the Google Play site that needs ROOT such as firewalls and AV protection.
Am I wanting to go down the ROOT path for the right reasons?

There is no way to get a full backup of your firmware with installed apps and data. On the other hand, there is always the option to revert to factory default with any installed firmware. (hold power button + volume down on startup).
Is it wise to get root ? Only if you need it.
Rooting is just a way to get superuser rights, allowing to run apps beyond the protected boundaries existing in an unrooted environment.
So if you don't need / run apps that require that, there's absolutely no reason to root your device.

[Q] Acer Iconia A110 same root method?

Just wondering as currently there isn't any threads for the Acer Iconia A110, and it has just about the same spec and is almost identical as the Nexus 7.
Will it be able to be rooted with the same tools that are made for nexus 7? Or will I have to wait till a root for the A110 comes out?
Thanks

i doubt it comes with a unlockable/lockable bootloader like all the nexus devices do. so, im guessing the method will be different.
Has any tegra 3 device been unlocked without using official methods

just curious guys as to what the disadvantages are with the Acer Iconia A110 if unable to root atm? is it going to be possible in the near future to unlock the boot loader? is it worth getting one of the nexus instead? been looking at the 32gb 3g option.
I was given a a110 after my 100 suddenly crapped out .I was able to root using of of the universal root methods on xda.but I have not seen anything for a boot loader unlock or a recovery.as of now its not a bad tablet.
Universal root method

Is there any chance that you could post a link in this thread on which universal root method you used? I would like to do the same with my acer. They put a lot of useless apps on there (ice age, etc..). Thanks in advance!
Here it is.....good luck.if u find anything else please post...thanks..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Not working :crying:
Root does not seem to work on mine
I read you were able to root your a110. I tried the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 with no results using both normal and special mode. All applications on googleplay like adaway say it is not rooted. I did all according to tutorial by the way.
So please how did you go about rooting your acer iconia tab a110.
So far I love it but my 32 go microsd is useless because I cannot move any applications to it. Or do anybody know of a working way around it. The problem is the storage is not mounted according to android phones so no applications rcognize the second external storage.
Thank you!

Thanks, I'd like to know aswell. Tried both of bin4ary's methods and nothing. Can't seem to push SU/Busybox.
I would love to know as well, there simply doesn't appear to be a root method for the Acer Iconia a110. I was able to find this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915459, with a claim about having done it, but I'm not willing to risk it myself until there are more success stories. Rooting my Acer Iconia doesn't mean that much to me that I'm willing to brick it based on one persons claim.
Neither option is working

Thank you for sending that link to all of us trying to root the Acer. I was wondering if there was any chance that you could jot down a quick outline on the steps you took to do this. The closest I got was the program said deamon started successfully. I left the tablet on the screen for about two hours but nothing happened after that. Any insight into this would be great.
Thanks again.

So far you seem to be the only one working on this tablet. It is a great tablet but would love to be able to transfer some apps to the sd card because of the 5 gb's they gave us internally. I just don't think that its enough. The fact that you are tyring to work on this for all of us is great to see. If there is anything that I can do to try and help please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for all of your work thus far! This also seem so to be the only site that has anything for the acer a110.
thanks for the praise but I don't deserve it .I'm not a technical Guy just taking some risk with what other people have put out .no luck so far.
Figure out how to unlock bootloader now we need root
I was messing around with this thing for the last two days with minimum sleep I finally figure out how to unlock the bootloader like the Nexus 7 but rooting it I tried a few different methods even wrote a few scripts but I must be mentally stupid right now. So if someone has idea's or wants to help let me know I wrote a root method for the liquid phones and a few LG which are easy but this bad boy wants to be well you know. So reply cheers hope we can root this soon I need my screencast and sixaxis working!!!!
