I am looking to root my galaxy tablet on verizon. Kinda new to this so could someone please assist with instructions or link to detailed instructions. Also looking to load custom rom so info to do that as well as recomendations on roms would be helpful. Can I do all this on my macbook? Or do I have to dust off the old vaio? Thanks in advance

Alright I did some searching around and havent found a definitive answer. I'm trying to get my friends Captivate to work on T mobile. This is possible, correct?
Also... Do you have to be rooted and on a rom to do this? If so, what is the EASIEST most updated way to do that? My friend is on stock and I would assume on the latest OTA. If you could help I would greatly appreciate it. I can always help anyone that needs help with the Samsung Epic!
The data won't work on t mobile.the best he can get will be edge. All you have to do is root and unlock. There are one click root programs and tons of guides. After that you can unlock it with apps in the market

Hi was wondering if anyone could possibly help me find a link to download the stock firmware for the SG2
my phones firmware info is ZSKFA
I've scoured the forums for a working link to find the stock firmware so I can turn my rooted phone back to stock via odin...but no luck so far finding any sort of link thats working (ie. multiupload seems to be down and various other links)
any type of light on the situation would be gladly appreciated thanks again!
Try galaxy s2 forum. This forum is for galaxy s 1

I have the SCH-I800 or verizons galaxy tab and am looking to upgrade it some. It currently has galaxy cubed and I wanted to go to CyanogenMod9 or ICS. I tried going to CyanogenMod9 from clockwork but it aborts with error code 7. So does anyone have some recommendations as to what I should upgrade 2 and a rather noobish guide on how to do it?
Thanks

I recently purchased the same VZW tab (part of $49 close-out sale) and have been unable to find definitive instructions for rooting the device. Would you mind sharing a link that describes the steps?
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I have been reading your threads on rooting the original verizon galaxy tab and everything makes sense through root. In one of your posts you say,
"After rooting install clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 ( not sure abt this it can be 5.0.7.2) with heimdall .
Than u can install ics from first link provided "
I am very new at flashing roms, so this portion of your phrase is not clear to me. Before I root, I want to have decent confidence I can get ICS onto my tab. Have downloaded the daily driver you noted (Build 10 and the patch) into folders to flash....None of the files in each look like what was inside the Vanilla folder. ANy additional advice or steps you can provide post root would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance. Will post this on the thread as well in case others are in the same boat.
gonna try it tonight

from what i read this is suppose to work the same way on the vzw tab. im gonna try tonight and report back.
as per cm9 instructions the rom is suppose to be flashed thru cwm not thru heimdall.... but first you have to upgrade cmw to the 5.. one
*edit*
i followed this method. instead. method above made me soft brick my tab. post #563 has the instructions.... you must use winzip to unzip cmw recovery file

Hey,you can flash kernel to have root via Odin for your PC. It is easy.
Then, I heard about Unlock Root app for PC which does rooting by two - three clicks via USB-debugging for 2.2-4.0.3 . (I didn't use it, I have pre rooted 4.0.4 )
Then you can just flash a rom with root,cwm,ext4-filesystem.
That is the way to taste Android 4.0.4 that is really awesome
Sorry, I can't paste links right now but I wish I helped you
A good start for you would be to flash the overcome ROM.
Here is a copy of the Installation Guide (with images)
Here is a link to the Overcome website
Simply follow the instructions and you'll be fine with a brilliant new rooted ROM.
If you want to go to ICS then I can recommend Cyanogenmod 9 - there are several ICS ROMs based on CM9 out there so I'll leave it to you to search them out; however my advice is start with Overcome to get a feel for the PC tools and CWM recovery.
Good luck

Thanks but unfortunately this does not help. It takes me to another link and then another but it's not what i am looking for. The question for for specifically DDKQ8 baseband version if it can be rooted with the same instructions and using the same upd_1.zip root file? I see conflicting responses/threads on the internet and hence i need help from you experts to guide me. Please tell me how can I root my phone?
Download universal gb root and you will root it for sure
rooting procedure is same as with upd_1.zip but its newer and it will work for sure

Copy zip you downloaded from link above to your sd card and go to recovery(home button + power button) and go to install from zip and after install is over reboot to system and thats it

After rooting .....need some help again
I read a thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942957) which says you should NOT use ROM manager on Ace. I downloaded and opened it but technically haven't used it to take back-up etc. After I read this thread, I uninstalled it - I believe my phone is not bricked?
Also, How can I take a back-up of my ROM? I saw a thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=18167974) recommending to use a custom app but that's not tested. What should I do?
As always, your help is appreciated!!
Your phone is ok
If you installed cwm 5 recovery you can use backup option from it
