I am having just a heck of a time getting this 7 inch galaxy tab rooted.
I have rooted many devices and this one looks like an easy one... I have been trying SuperOne click and z4root, and its a no go for me so far.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
They won't work if you have Gingerbread...
You can try flashing a .zip
Firmware is 2.2
Also, I don't believe its possible to install from default recovery.(e3)
I was able to resolve it. I had to reflash the device to fix what an OTA broke.

Hi everyone, I am trying to root my girl's hero. Her phone is running very sluggish and slow. Any recommendations on roms would be greatly appreciated. I am coming from a rooted samsung vibrant and it seems the process for the hero is very different. I have some questions. What's the easiest way to root and unroot the hero? Where can I find the stock rom that came in the box just in case I mess up? Also, where are the roms for the updates following the stock rom? How easy is it to unbrick the phone? I use odin to flash my phone back to stock when I flash roms. Is it available for the hero? Thanks.
Do a search for Z4root app.
As far as Roms,once your rooted and try different ones.
Sense Roms by:Nfinite,LiquidSolstice,and others
Non-Sense Roms by:CM,AOSP,Decad3nce and others.
Others can jump in and suggest others .I'm on the road try to help more when I get home

No problem,did you get it done?
Actually not yet. I'm just making sure I'm covering all the bases before root. I'll let you know when I do or have problems lol.
rooted and install cm6.1. The phone seem to be definitely better than before.
Great glad you got it!

I have been waiting since I heard Google was sending on the gingerbread update to the nexus one's. However I still haven't received mine yet nor update 2.2.2.
Under settings /about phone:-
- Android 2.2.1
- Build: FRG38D
- Hboot: 0.35.0017
- Radio: 5.12.00.08
Any ideas? I have tried manually updating but didn't work for me.
Many thanks,
Luigi,
Manually update to 2.2.2. Then manually update to 2.3.3.

FRG38D aint it?
You're not running stock Google ROM. You're most probably running Vodafone modified firmware. In that case, you won't ever get Google OTA, you'll get Vodafone's - which isn't released yet, and who knows when will it be.
To install Gingerbread, you need to revert your phone to stock Google version. Read the Wiki and see, how. Look for "unroot/restore" guide.
You can also just root your phone and install one of the lightly modified stock GB ROMs (like Geo411's) from Development forum.

I'd say it's safe to just go on and update as notified. So straight to 2.3.3. That's what you're going to do anyway, right?
yes it is, thanks =)
Thanks for your help everyone! Finally got 2.3.3 =D
I'm loving it. Anyone know how I can come across the new version of nexus LWP?
Thanks
I just bought a bunch of tabs for my business. I rooted one before I updated it and it worked fine, but wouldn't update. I then updated one and now it won't root.
I'm really a total noob when it comes to rooting. I haven't even touched flashing. I would rather keep it as stock as possible. I'm mostly rooting it to remove bloatware. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, please help.
I've run superoneclick 2.2 and run zergrush, but that seems to stall out.
Currently, the only way to root 2.3.5 is to flash a pre-rooted rom. I'm using "Galaxy Cubed" you can find it under dev section.

I hate to ask, but is there a decent guide to doing that? Also is the process reversible?

i picked up a used first generation(7" SCH-I800) VZW Galaxy Tab on Craigslist a couple weeks ago and have had a series of problems while trying to root it or even connect it to my computer.
im looking for Verizon specific instructions if anyone can make that happen.
i have a Windows 7 64bit PC and every time i try to install the drivers it fails. i do NOT have the Kies option in the USB connect menu in settings, only Media Play and Mass Storage. i downloaded Kies from Samsung website and installed it, and again the driver failed to install properly.
i know theres a bunch of people out there with rooted/rom'd Verizon branded Tabs. i'd love to figure out how you guys are doing it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
nothing? nobody here has a rooted Verizon Tab?
I've got the same tab. Been trying to root it for weeks. Z4 wont work, superoneclick hangs and the tab turns off but only goes into standby and doesnt really get rooted. I would deff make a donation to anyone who can help, I cant wait to get rid of all the verizon bloatware on this thing!

Im going to be real with y'all this to me is the most weird root i have ever had to do. I have rooted every android device i have owned with no problem but this just doesn't make sense to me. How do I root this blasted thing? No one can give me a straight answer some say zroot that doesn't work some say superoneclick that doesn't work. Is it the fact that its the sch 1800 from verizon? I don't understand why this device is so difficult to root can some one point me to a video or a direct like so i can read up on it cause its not making sense to me.
Thanks

Hey,you can flash kernel to have root via Odin for your PC. It is easy.
Then, I heard about Unlock Root app for PC which does rooting by two - three clicks via USB-debugging for 2.2-4.0.3 . (I didn't use it, I have pre rooted 4.0.4 )
Then you can just flash a rom with root,cwm,ext4-filesystem.
That is the way to taste Android 4.0.4 that is really awesome
Sorry, I can't paste links right now but I wish I helped you
A good start for you would be to flash the overcome ROM.
Here is a copy of the Installation Guide (with images)
Here is a link to the Overcome website
Simply follow the instructions and you'll be fine with a brilliant new rooted ROM.
If you want to go to ICS then I can recommend Cyanogenmod 9 - there are several ICS ROMs based on CM9 out there so I'll leave it to you to search them out; however my advice is start with Overcome to get a feel for the PC tools and CWM recovery.
Good luck
