New Verizon Tab - EC02. Screwed? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just purchased a Verizon Tab from someone on Craigslist and it has the EC02 applied. I'm quite certain that the person that I purchased it from did not have the device rooted. I am thinking about trying SuperOneClick with Keis but am afraid that I'll end up with a bricked Tab...
I've tried searching on Google and it seems that EC02 has not been broken yet . Is there anything that I can do to root my Tab? Thanks in advance.

I have eco2 and im rooted. I used super one click root. Takes like 2 min.

so do i, its easy.

I am an idiot. I just did a factory reset and now the device is telling me that I need to have it activated. FUUUUUUUUUU! Is there a way to bypass this?
Wow, did the secret activation bypass and I'm good. Time to root!

What do I need to run google body on my verizon tab?

I want this thing to run what it should be able to run. Is root even worth it on the verizon tab? Seems no one is supporting it. Everything is either wifi our gsm.

You need Honeycomb.
But there I is no honeycomb love for the verizon tab is there? And from what I have read, rooting a verizon tab is asking for trouble!

I think rooting the verizon tab is only sketchy if start messing with updates, roms, etc. I rooted mine the day I got it several months ago and loaded the voodoo plus kernel to overclock to 1.4ghz. Other than an issue that popped up with the Lookout app and finally getting the EC02 update notification to stop with a build.prop edit, it's been as close to perfect for me as I expect from a piece of tech and runs much better than those first few hours I used it prior to rooting. The main reason I wanted to root almost immediately was so I could restore my Titanium Backup apps from my Evo so I would keep all my app settings and scores.
I considered flashing one of the few VZW tab roms available or unrooting to install the EC02 update, but I figure it's better to leave good enough alone.

Rooted but i didnt root wtf!

ok so this morning i started up my bionic noticed one of my apps was in the wrong spot so i scrolled thru them and noticed the super user app was installed! WTF, opened it up of course nothing in the log, so i downloaded a root checker sure enough the SU app popped up asking for permission! sure enough i granted it SU permissions and it was given full access WTF!
how did my bionic root its self!

i wouldnt chance a root with such a new phone i mean the sbf and what not is barely out there!
trust me i didnt do anything, is there a way to check to see how it was rooted?
I could maybe possibly see a spontaneous bug rooting your phone, but it could not have possibly been a bug that installed superuser and the terminal emulator. Possibilities I can see:
1. You used to have a rooted phone and synced the backup with your bionic, thus reinstalling superuser.
2. someone else rooted it for you without telling you
3. You bought the phone used and it was already rooted

1. the only thing i resynced up was my music and a few apps
2. the phone has been in my possession every day
3. i would never buy a rooted phone as i dont know how or if the person knew what they was doing
Btw pete's does root bionic. As a matter of fact I rooted several bionics with free hotspot as well a week or so after it came out.

Also, for the record, yes the "SBF" is out there. We are all rooted and playing with our phones because there is a recovery. It's just not called SBF anymore, it's FXZ.

Not to hijack but, my bionic is rooted and wireless tether doesn't work, how can I get wireless tethering working, or is it possible? Thanks in advance
As for op, you must have done something I've never seen a phone root itself, though would be a nice option to have

Here it is enjoy. Also you need to reboot and turn it on and off a few times as described in the guide.
Also may need to change the starting ip. I had to do that on a few of them. But I can confirm it does work.
Also this mehtod works best with the verizon hotspot app. I haven't bothered trying to get wireless tether to work. But I'm sure its possible

I have a feeling you downloaded an app or a 3rd party app. A while vback there was a scare where an app actually rooted your phone without you knowing. Its far fetch but not impossible. Seen it happened before.
That's why its so important to check permissions on all apps and especially funky dev names.

Any Ideas on a Root?

Hey guy,
I picked up the Atrix HD yesterday and so far I'm loving it but I was wondering if anyone has thought of a way to root this bad boy?
Thanks in advance

I did the same, but it is FAR too early to expect anything.Since it has a locked bootloader, it'll probably take a while (similar to previous versions of the atrix) and I'm sure once Moto releases their webkit to unlock the bootloader the floodgates will open, but hopefully someone will step up and prove me wrong
I tried all the obvious root methods with no luck. There is no similar phone to the AHD yet, so nobody's attempted root on similar hardware.

Has anyone tried the root method for RAZR ICS / Droid4 ICS?

Once you guys get this, I really hope someone can pull that clock/weather/battery widget. I want it really bad. I also hope it doesn't rely on the framework of the phone

Hmm, it's a snapdragon S4 processor... What other phones have the same processor in there? You might be able to find some leads on that...
I was initially interested in getting my hands on the radio, but I think it's a completely different architecture than most of the other Motorola phones (most of the ones I know are TI OMAP), so you might need something different...

I had the same thought, galaxy s3 uses an Odin root, and the HTC one x root method didn't work either.

If i'm not mistaken, the skyrocket is a Snap S3 processor. Also, it's an Odin root much like the S3 as well i think.

I am honestly surprised NO ONE has found a root method yet.
Phones have been rooted days after they come out. I guess development on this phone is going to be painfully slow.

True but the Artix and Atrix 2 had locked boot loaders and we rooted them. I agree it will come when it comes but I will keep trying till either I get it or someone else releases a way. :good:

Atrix 2 still has a locked bootloader. It's been rooted, I've even had CWM work on boot. The only thing we were not able to do was get a kernel so we could get radios working under ICS.
There is hardly any extra effort when I want more access over my file system.

I can hardly wait. I miss CyanogenMod and I hope the web kit rolls out soon so we can start unlocking the potential behind these motorola phones.

Agreed, about root, that won't take very long at all i don't think. my comment was specifically about development being slow for this phone. We'll see theme packages before we see any real development because of the bootloader thing. Work smarter not harder and all.

I'm just interested in why we haven't got root like most other phones. I mean, the HTC One X hasn't been out long before they had a toolkit out for it.
I think they even had root for the Droid 4 the day before it was released. SGS3 came out and people are already making JB ports.
Now the Atrix HD comes around and poof... nothing? If I had been more technically inclined, or knew where to start, I would have made a root method myself.
It shouldnt be so hard, whats stopping us? (besides a few people just waiting for the web kit)
...and if no one else is up to it, where do I start?

Not really.
If you go check the other thread we've tried over 7 methods.
Motorola patch the /system/, /data/local/, and all the system blocks.
We can push files into /data/tmp/ but we cant write to mmcblk0p36 with debugfs
It simply wont give us permission.
With an unlocked bootloader, yes for sure we can get root. At that point it'd be less of a concern to get root because we'd be able to do so much more.
I even tried zergRush exploit used by most Snapdragon S4 phones with no luck.
Again we ran into problems with permissions to write or mount /system/
chmod wont do anything either.

[APP] Latest Google Wallet Aug/01/2012

Pulled this from my Nexus 7. Works on my Nexus S running latest Jellybro Kang. Thought I would share as this version lets you use more than just a Citi or prepaid card.
Version R1.5-R75-v6.apk
I'm not on the nexus s, but do you know if this will work without a data connection? I know the n7 doesn't need one but my gnex does. I'm wondering if you need data for this version to work on a phone.

Maybe I should give it a try.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled. No issues here. Also, I believe it does need data as payment info is stored in the cloud instead of the device itself.

Hmmm... I wonder why it works for the nexus 7 but wouldn't work like that for a phone. I tried to use wallet on my phone in a store the other day and in the middle of authentication I lost signal and had to start over. I may test pulling the wallet apk off my n7 and try installing on my phone to see if it works the same. Thanks guys!

How about networks other than Sprint and AT&T?
Does anybody know if this works on T-Mobile or other "blocked" networks?
Currently I am running the version patched by MoDaCo (1.1-R63-v12 See this thread) on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Unfortunately, this revision doesn't implement the new functionality to use cards other than Mastercard.
Does anyone know if the new apk still contains the device and carrier checks? If so then us T-Mobile people will still need a patched version.
yes it does contain the device/carrier checks... though you could always just try... instead of waiting for an answer... you would have known 5 minutes ago...
I just successfully installed it on my rooted T-Mobile Nexus S. Everything seems to be working fine. That Unsupported Device banner at the top is still there though. I haven't gone out to test it at a payment terminal yet.

I've been trying tutorials and tricks to get Wallet to install, to no avail, for >hour. This worked perfectly. Can't wait to try it with my Visa card now that they're supported.
Just tried it on the aokp kang on my i9020t on T-Mobile and got insecure element. Had to flash my nandroid that had 1.1 r41v8 installed which is really old unfortunately. Would love to get a newer version working...
Thanks for this. Installed fine and got my cards added on Kali's CM10... Now just have to try it out and see if I can still make purchases.

Unfortunately Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile Carrier
Anyone know how to get past this?
Installed on my VZN Nexus with the little banner due to I'm rooted and it seems to work just fine. Let me register, etc. I just have not tried it out at a store yet. We don't have to many places that accept it (or I just don't but a few).
Oh, thanks for the updated .apk Not sure why Verizon is such a [email protected]#$ and not let us use it.

[Q] nexus and google wallet

Sorry folks VERY new to all of this and looking for simple answers form the experts.
my questions is that my Nexus 7 now tells me that google wallet is not supported now that I have rooted my device yet it lets me log in to the service. Is it not going to work when I find an active pay station? If not is there a work around of sorts?
Thanks MUCH in advance!
It is just a warning that you are rooted. It will still work.
