[Q] Cannot obtain root access?? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a replacement for my VZW GT tried to root via Z4 but it won't apply root. Then I tried to do it through the comp via super one click but I'm home for the week at my parents house and their PC won't find the drivers to mount the GT... Has anyone elsr had this issue?? Also, if I go straight to download mode can I flash a rooted rom and get root that way??
TIA

For the drivers, did you install kies ?

I tried to but I couldn't find the download link so I used the driver package that comes with super one click... if someone could point me kies that'd be great!! I looked on samsungs site but now all I could find was the manual for the GT. The live chat guy told me I couldnt download kies soooooo I moved on...

Go to galaxy tab android development (here on xda of course) and download,from Overcome thread, the manual, read it and you will find a link inside for jmk stock safe, download it and you will find the drivers, odin and also the stock rom.

Just google it, just put "samsung kies donwload". It should be on the first link.

Thanks found it and downloaded. Now its telling me to put my tab into kies pc mode? I've tried download mode, normal boot mode both with the sdcard mounted and not mounted, and finally the manual mode, what would be recovery mode if I were rooted. Its never been this difficult?? This is my third GT and I've never had to go through all of this to root and flash... what's changed in 3 months!?
Thanks again for everyone's help!!

goto: settings>applications>development>usb debug mode
first, set to usb debug mode on your tab, and connect to pc while kies is open.
Let windows install drivers.
Once installation is over, safely remove your phone from pc and unplug usb cable.
Then, switch off debug mode from the same options above. After that,
go to settings>wireless and network>usb settings
tick either samsung kies OR ask on connection.
connect to kies again.
This will ensure that all drivers are installed.
Pls hit tnx if I helped.

Put your tab in debug mode an connect it to the pc and lauch superoneclick to root.

aibo, first thing i tried was debug mode and plug it in...
as for Sef_P1000's directions... i tried that and it definitely installed the drivers, however i dont have a pc mode/kies mode only have mass storage and media player, but neither work for anything in kies...

Delete drivers, dl again but don't install. When plug in message for unknown device pops up click it and select option to find drivers. Navigate to the file where dl is

Make sure you have the most recent USB drivers installed in your sdk. You may need.to enter sdk manager first. I may be wasting your time.

[Q] Odin didn't recognize the SGS

Hi,
I'm about to Flash to 2.3.3 firmware.. but the problem is that after i put my SGS into download mode the Odin didn't recognize my SGS (ID:COM) didn't display YELLOW.., but while i'm on normal mode every time i connect to my laptop Odin always recognize it..
Please help...
Thanks
Start Odin after connecting the phone and the laptop has already 'seen' the phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It's recognized my phone, but once i turn it too download mode by " Volume down+Home+Power) and connect to laptop again.. it's never recognized...
Try running Kies in the background then connect and see what Odin says .
jje
Disconnect SGS USB cable... Close Odin. And update your SGS drivers!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
-> Restart PC.
-> Open Odin, put in your files
-> Connect USB cable to PC, THEN to the SGS! (First PC, then Phone)
-> Hopefully you should see Yellow COM!
PS: While in Download Mode, and when connected to PC... Windows may download/update some more drivers. Let it happen! Do not disconnect!
There are two version (*86) and (*64) which one should i choose?
Never had this problem but can suggest few things
1. uninstall kies and reinstall SGS drivers only (Google them, they are available on net)
If doesn't work
2. do a factory reset and try with Odin
3. if not, restore the phone, if you have backup on Clockwork mode recovery.
As i said, never experience this issue, so just suggesting
x86 is for 32-bit Windows, and x64 is for 64-bit Windows!
To check what you own, Right-click on "My Computer" -> Properties -> And see what's written, 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)
Also, try uninstalling Kies, and install only the drivers posted on that link!
While running Odin, it is recommended that Kies should not be running, even as a service!
Okay, but my SGS is not yet rooted, so is there any chance the Odin didn't recognize my phone due to unrooted device??
i've got the same problem,cant upgrade to gingerbread because of it...tried everything suggested in this thread..even restored a backup i made using clockwork recovery...spent 3 weeks googling and restoring my phone reinstalling drivers e.t.c...ive given up and im stuck on froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY.
Rooted mobile or not rooted, no difference, odin shd recognize, u may try another version of odin or use update.zip or root it to install a custom rom, guessing, u might be missing some bootloaders

Problen with Odin. First time root.

I've tried everything, I just can't get odin to recognize my phone. I use a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 and the odin version is Odin3 v3.07, although I have tried using an older version of odin.
My phone gets detected normally (when not in download mode), and even in download mode the computer does make the sound indicating that it is connected.
This time, I opened odin without putting my phone in download mode and it showed a blue box, indicating that it detected my device, however I think being in download mode is a necessity for rooting. Help me out!
Oh and if its important, I use windows 8, I don't have samsung kies installed, I have the stock USB cable and I have tried it out without another cable.
AH! The shame! My first post and there is a typo in the title! T-T
Hey,
Have you tried manually installing the drivers using this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
The Samsung USB drivers (which lets the computer properly recognise the phone) apparently don't play too nicely with Windows 8.
Try install that and see if Odin recognises your phone
Sent from my GT-I9000
just flash this in stock recovery you only need odin for custom recovery

Maybe Kies runs in the background? It usually blocks any attempt to use Odin. If so, kill Kies process in your PC (by task manager)
Get SD card, put it into Your PC. Download to PC and copy other kernel zip file to it. Put SD card into SGS. Flash new kernel via recovery. Reboot and should work.

GT-P1000 France Firmware

Hi,
I am looking for android 2.3.6 for gt-p1000 gingearbear I can install in recovery mode, because I can't connect my tablet on pc, the CyanogenMod doesn't allow me to connect the tablet to the pc, when I plugged into the pc it starts to load and the pc doesn't indicate to me that USB port has just been used,
thank you,

You won't find a stock ROM that you can flash from custom recovery.
The reverse is also true, you can't find a custom ROM that you can flash from stock recovery.
Get stock ROM from samfirmware or use overcome GB stock safe v5 (follow my signature).
Put your ran in download mode, and use Odin to flash.
If Odin didn't detect your tab, try reinstall the Samsung USB driver.
All of this is included in the GB-stock-safe-v5 package.

Odin is meant to detect your tab in download mode.
Not while it boots into CM.
From off, hold volume down and power button.
Fire up odin without connecting tab to PC.
Once it is download mode, connect to PC.

thanks,I did that, but odin don't detect the tablet :/,i must change odin version?
I always use odin 1.7
Some uses 1.85.
I don't think it is the odin. It is your USB driver.
You should stop kies. Kill it. Prevent it from starting up. Or even uninstall it.
Remove the USB driver if you know how to.
Reinstall the usb driver again.
Use other machine that never had Samsung driver installed on it before.
You can try heimdall but it is a different software.
Lastly you can use Linux with heimdall, which always works for me.
