Is there a way to root a Sprint Tab without loosing the original rom?
If you're on the stock froyo use superoneclick, if you're on the stock gb (EF17) then, you're limited on ways to get root. Best option for root is oldmacnut's Better than life future echoes v1. The stock rooted rom isn't the best, but it does work for most things.

After Gingerbread, will Sprint users be able to install custom ROMs that are currently available? Seems like I read someone was working on CM7 also.

I thought that "roms" also had whatever version of the os that it was based on in the rom. Am I getting this confused with the kernel?
Say you take a stock rom and add and subtract and tweak everything to your liking. How it's done I don't know but you make that into a flashable zip and there's your rom.
You would need to root again because you will lose that with the update. Unless you have root, you cant install custom roms.

I knew that, but I'm just not sure if I'm stuck on stock Gingerbread or still able to load a custom ROM that's currently available (without doing the EA24 flash)

If I want to root my Galaxy S running on 2.3.4 JVQ or JVR, how can I do it? I don't want to upload kernels which will bring me additional functionality, I want only to root my phone and that's it.
Is there any way to root it except to upload kernels which have implemented root + other functionalities?
Thanks.
Just look for cf-root. These kernels are stock just added with root and nothing else.
I am not so sure since most users experienced bluetooth malfunction after flashing CF-Root.

Root it with cf-root and then flash back the stock kernel. Works perfect.

Look for Ramad's stock rooted firmwares in the development section I think. They have stock everything with root, superuser and busybox 19.0. they're also deodexed and zipaligned, they run great.

Looking at your user info, I'm guessing you have a verizon CDMA tab. The CDMA tabs are a little trickier to root than the GSM ones I believe.
Your best bet is to flash a pre-rooted ROM. As they are already rooted, all you have to do it setup odin/heimdall/ROM_manager. That is what I did with my sprint CDMA tab. There should be plenty of rooted ROM's to pick from.
good luck

is there one that is 100% stock
You simply flash a rooted gingerbread kernel. Find Chainfire's CF-Root v3.3 kernel. You flash it through odin.
Thats for gsm i need cdma vzw

I'm selling my Note today, which ROM does everyone recommended to flash before I sell it? It needs to be a full ROM so the guy can update. Thanks.

1.Keep as it is (why to take chance to brick)
2.As per choice of buyer
3.Flash with wipe a older ROM, so buyer get choice to update/Root it easily.
Yeah I think I'll just flash a stock ROM with root and call it a day. Thanks a ton guys, you Note guys are a friendly bunch.

I bought the Nexus. I prefer stock and an easier to handle size. Also the Rogers Note is coming out soon and my contract is almost up My girlfriend is gonna be a happy iPhone 4s user on valentines day though. I couldn't convert her so I had to trade it.

I knew there would be a reference to an Iphone in here somewhere...lol.
Note to a Nexus... I hope you get on with it. As for which rom - flash an early Samsung rom is your best bet, from the region you got it from.
Feel free to check out "our" forum as often as you want - you'll be most welcome. We're a friendly bunch as we have been around the block so many times, in search of the best phone available
What to do if I want to unroot and flash rom?
In dr.ketan's stock ROM post, he wrote...
"If you are not rooted n dont want Root
just flash with PC odin, (same as Older ROM Installation shown above)"
What if I am rooted, but don't want root anymore?
Can I still just flash with PC odin? Would it mess up because the Note was rooted?

yes you can flash stock rom with Odin on rooted note, without issue. It will make your next rom unrooted too.

So what is the steps? from zero to hero?
i am on a stock ROM, stock recovery, and stock kernel too..

The bootloaders on stock Gingerbread ROMs are already unlocked, to the best of my knowledge. If you're still on Froyo, just find a region-appropriate stock GB ROM on SamFirmware.com.
