I just got a popup to do a system update..before I do it, I want to know if this will un-root me?
No. But to be safe. Update the Kies without connecting your device to the pc. I am doing so atm.
I have tried to install this update several times and it is never successful.
Is their a Sprint software update file in this site for a rooted Galaxy tab?

Which version of Kies are you running to connect to the Sprint Tab?
I am not sure I even run kies. I rooted my phone with One Click Root. HOW DO i find out if I have this app?

I want to downgrade my nexus because i let my little sister play with it (big mistake) i had it rooted on 2.2.2 (superoneclick) and now im on gingerbread! i cant downgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.2 it just gives me an error could i try to use the passimg.zip and try to flash 2.2 that way to reroot it?
EDIT:just tried the passimg.zip it said main version older any suggestions?
Read the forum, I'm sure there is a downgrade thread within the last 2 pages.
I don't think there's a fix for the "main version is older" problem, unless you unlock the bootloader...

yes but im going to try with my other win 7 laptop then my winxp netbook tonight maybe then it will work. btw do i have to have the sdk set up?
Setting up the sdk is basically installing the drivers, and making sure you have the necessary files (adb, fastboot, su, or whatever)

I forgot to do it before installing CWM and rooting. The update fails when I try with this kernel, and I dont want to have to do a wipe.
Is there any reason to update it?

After I fixed my soft bricked captivate it was reverted back to éclair which I was aware of, I clicked check for updates and my phone found one which I assume would be froyo. I clicked install or what ever and after a minute or 2 the update failed (can't remember what it said) I tried it again and my phone told me I'm able to check for updates in another 23.5 hours. I called att and they told me that they'll call me this time tomorrow for assistance. Is there another way to update to froyo?

If you have your heart set on stock, you'll need to use a program called Kies Mini - it's available through Samsung's site, and that should get you going where you want to be.
Mini Kies is safer than the OTA update that perma bricked many. Once you've modded your phone (rooted, etc.) kiss OTA goodbye, AT&T made it so you can't do OTA updates. I am pretty sure Mini Kies is on Samsung's site download it and follow the instructions.
edit: just looked up you beat me to it, lol, I type to slow!
I have mini on my pc, guessing that's how I got froyo In the first place. So I just hook phone upto pc, open keis and that's it?

That's my understanding. I personally haven't used it, but that sounds right.

Go to sammobile.com. you have to register but it's free. You can get the stock roms there. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file and use that in odin. Use odin v1.85.

Odin does recognize your device? What happens when you try to flash?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I have attached a print screen of what happens.
I can't see but I assume you have auto reboot checked. If so,I would redownload the rom file. It could be a bad download.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yes I have auto reboot checked. I have already re-downloaded the file, same result.
Idk, sounds like you tried everything I would do. It's sounding like it's internal hardware failure. Can you get into recovery mode? I assume not. But if you can try a factory reset.

So then i decided to try a PC since Odin does not work on Mac and wouldn't you know it WORKED!! now all i need to do is fined the best way to root my Samsung Galaxy 8.9 LTE (SGH-I957R) Rogers. Any ideas? Thanks for all the help you provided
Hey JD
I figured it out, you would never guess what the issue was. I was using a Mac Book Pro, which running windows instead of using a windows PC. So i decided to try using a PC and it worked.. Thanks for all your help.... Now what is the best way you suggest to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (SGH-I957R) Rogers?

You'll need to put a custom recovery on your tab using Odin. Flash it just like the stock rom. Then you'll need to flash superuser-busy box thru the custom recovery. Download that on you tab. I have the files on dev host and I'll post links for you when I get on my pc.
Recovery. http://d-h.st/fqw
Supersu. http://d-h.st/vjq
Use install in twrp (the recovery) to install super user. Then boot, once booted look for super su in your apps and click on it. It will update to the latest version. You'll be rooted.

Hello dear Forum,
My question: How can I root my Samsung Galaxy Tab without a Computer? I have already tried to root via Gingerbreak, Framaroot, z4root. USB-Debugging is enabled. Is there any way to root it via recovery mode? I've searched a long time in google but I didn't found anything like a root.zip.
My Android Version is 2.3.6 and I'm at Stock ROM.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks for your help

You still need custom recovery first.
Stock recovery only flash zip that is signed by Samsung.
