Understanding rooting - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I understand rooting opens the phone to protected areas. I am trying to understand what the different roms do. Can someone explain why you need them?
Also is there a root process available for the sprint 7 inch tab on 2.3.4? If so how do you do it?

Rooted AT&T tab whats the easiest way to ROM it?

I have a rooted att tab and i need someone to explain the easiest way to flash a custom ROM. I have read a bunch of threads and used the "Search" option but i cant find a solid guide to follow. Most methods ive read seem super complicated with like 22 steps. I have a rooted galaxy s phone running Di11 Pick1e Rom so im not completely android ignorant. If someone can help me out id really appreciate it.
AT&T GSM
Rooted via super one click

Tab Without OS

I am looking at a Verizon Tab i800 that appears to not have an operating system installed. How would this happen? Is this as easy to fix as rooting through Heimdal and then installing CM9 and GAPPS? Anyone ever see anything like this?

I don't know if it's possible but, if it can go into download mode, it should not be a problem.

You mean you purchased a non-functional tab and you want to know how to fix it?
That depends on what is wrong with it, it would help if you actually gave any relevant info like if you can go into download or recovery mode etc?
If yes then simply flash the kernel/rom you want, done!
If not then go read some topics, there are plenty of "tab cant boot" topics about, no need for us to just repeat questions/answers.

Removing system apps: cannot root

I have recently Restored my N1 from an ICS ROM and am back on Gingerbread 2.3.6.
I am wanting to remove some system apps but I cannot for the life of me find out how to root the N1.
Much googling has lead me to dead ends and dead links and I feel I am missing something really obvious that everyone else but me knows.
The guides I have found on rooting all appear to involve custom ROMs which I don't want at the moment.
The bootloader is still unlocked and I know at some point in the past I did have the device rooted on gingerbread but I can't remember how?

Is that a trusted source?
Yes It is.

Yep, that worked
Thanks.
If I may be so bold... what would be the best app to use to actually remove the system apps?
I have used one in the past but found that when I removed anything it would shut off the nexus completely and not actually remove anything.
use titanium backup. it would be safe to hv a backup via a custom recovery, before removing system apps...

You are joking right?
Search for T849, a dozen thread a least,
And I answered some of them.
If you are too lazy, just follow my signature.
Guaranteed to work.

Q: GN3 N900A/T/V/W, 900, 9005, xxUB/C/D...

I have a rooted SM-N900A and am confused about the compatibility of my device and available ROMs and other flashware out there. A matrix would really help, because I see GN3 goodies on XDA and don't want to flash the wrong thing. Not a lot targeted for 900A specifically.
Obvious to me are the ATT, T-Mobile, Verizon labels. I know I am ATT variant, US, snapdragon, android 4.3, build N900AUCUBMI9.
What I don't know is how code for 900/9005/MJ7/MJ3/MJ6/MJ8/MI7 might affect my MI9. Which are most likely to be compatible with my hardware? And which will most likely brick me?
Regardless if I flash (not sure I'm ready to set Knox 0x1), can someone please recommend a VARIANT COMPATIBILITY GUIDE I can cross-reference? Sticky anywhere? Its not just ROMs, its so I can better follow GN3 threads in general. Thanks!

You can't flash any roms, we have a locked bootloader

I'm pretty sure it can be done using Odin, but it would absolutely void my warranty by tripping Knox flag to 0x1.
Anyone seen a compatibility matrix across variants?

Like stated previously, you can't flash any roms because we have a locked bootloader. Safestrap has been achieved for the Verizon note 3 (also locked bootloader). They're working on our phone...

Go ahead try with Odin. Don't listen to what other people said and then make a post as to why you bricked your phone or why it's all messed up.
