unrooting and restoring factory settings
Does anyone know where I can get a stock ROM for the Galaxy Tab (T Mobile)? I have rooted (and didn't back up first) and would like to know that I can undo everything and reset my Tab to "new" condition. I rooted using z4, but even though I have gained SU access, I do not have an option to unroot.
If you had scrolled down the page you would have noticed the thread entitled
"T-Mobile Stock Firmware"
Give that one a go...
Also, [Q]'s belong in Q&A....
Hope that helps....

Hi guys, just got my Galaxy Tab, I was wondering where to start?
This is my sw info:
GT-P1000
fw: 2.2
P100XXJIE
FROYO.XWJJ3
What would I like to do is to unlock it (it is locked to VIP provider in Croatia) and flash some custom rom.
Where to start? What rom? How to unlock? Where is Waldo?
1. Back up your existing firmware, in case you want to revert.
You can do this by rooting your Tab - I use SuperOneClick.
Titanium Backup is a very good app for backing up, it needs root access.
2. Visit the Dev thread.
3. Choose a ROM. Make sure it is appropriate for your Tab, i.e., don't try to load a CDMA ROM, or a P1000L/P1000N ROM
4. Thank the Developer - it's important to be nice.
5. If you don't like that ROM, choose another!
Hope that helps...
Hi everyone,i got some questions about rooting a samsung galaxy tab gtp1000 running in 2.2 froyo android.
Does rooting a galaxy tab without flashing anything to it has risk of bricking it ?
Well I just want to uninstall old apps and install some apps required root access such as sixaxis controller support,droidwall,adblocker for browsers,new sywpe (mine has preinstalled sywpe and unable to upgrade to latest version).
Well iam not really sure what does rooting means.does rooting means example creating a adminstrator account and has access to everything ? without any risk except upgrading android version like 2.2 to 2.3 ?
Hope someone can answer my question
Thank you very much

You should be able to use SuperOneClickRoot if you're going to stay with froyo (2.2) and shouldn't have to worry too much about bricking anything (these devices are hard to brick in general worst you do is soft brick and have to go back to stock) Rooting is exactly like having adminstrator access. If you're thinking about going to 2.3.x you'll want to find a pre-rooted rom.
Hi again,thank you for your reply.i just rooted my galaxy tab today using superoneclick,at first the app crash for unknown reason.second it went not responding.but i tried it third time and waited awhile to finish installing files to my galaxy tab and i finally got the successfully rooted message.
By the way, my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 is now still running in Android 2.2 Froyo Rooted.can i just update the firmware to 2.3 gingerbread through official samsung kies program on pc ? Or i have to unroot my galaxy tab to update to official ginger bread 2.3 update ?
And just to let you know that i just deleted mine preinstalled swype and installed new swype beta.not sure if it's safe to install an official update.
Before i rooted my tab the samsung kies program found a new firmware update for my tab which has some long code and jpi something i can't remember it correctly,not really sure if it is gingerbread update
I just notice that when i open more than 2 apps some apps automatically closes itself.does anyone know what is causing it ?
Samsung kies kinda sucks since the usb connection kept disconnecting it's kinda hard to backup stuff.not to mention backup some small files takes ages too.
That's how I got started. First I rooted my tab, after seeing how easy that was I tried a new ROM. After seeing how easy that was, the next thing I know I've been through 3 different ROMs now.
Then I hear about the newest version 2.3.5, which is suppose to rock. So I decide to go back to stock, so I can have a clean flash of the newest version. That is where I made my mistake. I grabbed the wrong version (GSM instead of CDMA) and soft bricked my tab. After following some advice I got, I eventually hard bricked my tab.
RESEARCH! If you decide to try new ROMs research and read the thread fully and if you still not sure ask questions.
Well that is what i am doing now.trying to confirm if it's safe to do it and that.anyway i hope someone will answers my questions soon
Hi can someone help answer my questions at post 3
hi all
i picked up a used rogers galaxy tab 7".upgraded to 2.3.3 official via kies.
GT-P1000R
rooted it.
unlocked it.
now i wish to use the phone capabilities and have a few questions.
i see in a couple posts that you no longer have to flash a complete rom,just a modem.
is that info correct?
i see that the jm2 modem seems to work best with the rogers tab,so do i just flash the modem with odin and that gives me the voice capability.
or do i need to flash a complete rom(European)?
also there is no dialer program so where do i get that at?or does it come with the modem flash.
is there a better modem than jm2 for the rogers tab?or the bell i9000 modem?
i am in canada
thanks,jeff

you need a euro based rom (official or custom) and bell i9000 modem.

Careful what you flash though, if it's from XDA any ROM should do you okay but Samsung official ROMs may contain locked boot loaders. Catch up on some reading before doing anything.
Also i suggest that you do a complete backup of your tab before flashing anything else so that you could revert back in case of issues. Stock ROGERS firmware is hard to find. And if you do a backup I wouldn't mind a copy of it as long as you keep your personal information out. As a matter of fact, what i am after is a un-rooted fully stock ROGERS ROM. As i have deleted my original backup, and would like to revert completely back to stock, I would be very thankfull if you could help. But none the less you should do a complete backup, something like the roto or nandroid backups.
Try the OVERCOME rom, it's a great place to start as a noob to flashing, they have very detailed tutorials and the ROM is good.
EDIT: And the OVERCOME rom does work with the bell i9000 modem just fine for phone calls. Although the volume on the tab is not the greatest for a speakerphone.

darned,i rooted and unlocked it earlier this week.
i definitely would have done a stock backup for you.
can i unroot?i used oden and one of the cf rooting images.
unlocked using galaxy s unlock from market.
can i even revert back to stock?if so i will do a backup.
i have done nothing else to the stock rogers 2.3.3
i searched my hardrive but kies must delete the firmware after flashing.

Thanks for the offer. But no need to go through all of that unless you can un root with something like super one click (fast and easy, but I don't think that will work for you). If your tab is still under warranty you might want to learn how to root and unroot and restock and such (its all covered in the forums). Otherwise I don't want you playing with your tab and have a "bad" flash trying to help me out. Do read up in the dev section before you start flashing custom ROMs.
That said if you do feel comfortable flashing and decide to make a backup for yourself I definitely wouldn't mind a copy.

hi
not scared of bricking the tab,i have been flashing samsungs for the last couple years,captivates etc.my last tab i did a supposed gps fix which ended in a bootloop.
i managed to get it back but with a modified 2.2 firmware.then kies would not let me upgrade to 2.3.3(unofficial firmware error)
my problems have always been actually returning to stock.
in recovery i have the orange clockwork recovery that has an option to do factory reset.will this take me back to unrooted and unlocked???
if so consider it done.
i will need direction to do a full backup after that.
jeff
Doing a hard reset will NOT un-root or re-lock your device (as far as I know). The factory reset will clear the data and cache and should not touch the system. You have to un-root your device using the method you rooted it with or something along those lines.
As far as a backup is concerned, creating a system backup has been covered in the forums before. There is plenty of detailed instructions on performing a backuphave a look at the Roto Backup method.
Just picked up a galaxy tab ( rogers )
gt-p1000r
firmware 2.2
all stock
no root
no unlock
I would like to "give back" something
for all the HELLp you guys have given via these forums
( i swear all my grey hair started once i dumped my blackberry and went samsung and found this site! )
Anyway
If you are still looking for the a copy of the STOCK system before I start to play...
I will try to figure out how to make a copy for you
Hi, on Samsung Galaxy Ace Android 2.3, I can root it only by flash 'upd_1.zip'/'Acegingerroot.zip' from stock recovery. And it only ROOT the phone, it does not replace stock recovery.
Is it also possible on Galaxy Tab Android 2.3?
Try using zergrush. At least I think that's what it was called.

But perhaps there is someone who has tried 'upd_1.zip' on there Tab, and know if it works.
Because, I don't wanna try if it does mess up something.

And you still have stock recovery?
SuperOneClick will root you and not replace Stock recovery. I did this several times when I was trying to find new ways to brick my tab. ;-)
If you don't mind my asking, why do you want to keep the Stock recovery. I'm not trying to discourage you from keeping it, but I've started playing with building my own kernels and I find life is a lot easier building in CWM recovery than just working with stock.
Okay thanks..
I also had the CWM on my own Tab before i sold it. But right now I use a friend's Tab while I was waiting to Tab 7.7 comes in stores. And I will not put CWM on my friend's Tab, because then he can not use the normal reset option 'Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset'. And he do not know (like all other normal people), that he instead should use 'CWM factory reset'. If the Tab has CWM.
Superoneclick worked for me but don't do what I did. lol
After rooting worked so great I reopened the superoneclick and tried a shell root thinking it must be even better! four white lights and soft brick was the result.
Hi all,
This morning I tried to root my brother phone by using the "1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery.".
Link
After downloading the zip file, copied it onto the external sd card, I applied the update from external storage. Now, my brother phone won't boot.
I am here to visit and now my day is stuck trying to fix this.
Here are two things that I should have done in hind sight.
1. I should have backup his contact information.
2. I should have check his ROM versiion (i.e. ICS or Jelly Bean).
Now, the only thing that I can do is getting into "Philz Touch 5".
I could do backup and restore.
Here are two questions that I have.
1. Is there way I can backup the contact in "Philz Touch 5"? Is this include in the "data" backup.
2. Can recovery this back to previous unrooted "kernel" or origninal kernel.
It seemed that I can also run "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" in Kies. It prompted me for the model and serial number and it asked whether I want to proceed. But that would wipe everything.
EDIT: I just tried KIES's "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and it failed. The pop up with a message in "square boxes". I guess it failed doing "Firmware Upgrade and Initialiation." :[
Please, any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Leapfrog.
Okay, I downloaded "N7000ZSLO2 N7000OZSLO2 - Taiwan" from here, installed it and got it back up and running too. Contact list is still remain intact. However, I am not sure it is the right ROM for US T-Mobile model because I got H+ and occasional 3G.
My brother said his is an international version. I am not sure if the correct for his phone.
Can someone please point me to the correct ROM for US T-mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000?
Thanks!!!!

1. Philz kernels are specific to rom version, so lp9 must be flashed with lp9 rom.
2. Goto settings about phone and double check the model number before you do anything else.
3. Urm, think the clue is is the rom title you downloaded (korea)! Go through Dr Ketan's thread and it outlines rom localities.
