Google around... there is a prerooted GB rom floating around somewhere... I used it to initially root my tab. Was simple, hardest part was installing Samsung drivers on my computer... I believe it uses Odin and the flash takes less than 2 min depending on your computer, and presto rooted GB on a sprint tab

I have a sprint galaxy tab and am so lost on rooting it. I've rooted several evo 4g's,(cm7) and a nook color(cm7). But this sgt really has my tit in a ringer. I've downloaded and ran the superoneclick but it wont grab. I'm a chef...... Not that advanced with tecnology but enough to root, flash every rom, kernel, theme, etc with my evo and nook color. I'm not a dope with android but this one has me spinning. Need to flash any rom, kernel, theme etc with my evo or nook color.... You got it but my sprint galaxy tab is has me looking at my pc like a dope! Once I get rooted and cwm there is no stopping me (I'm a flashaholic) but dam this sprint galaxy tab has me tredding water. Any pointers for a dopey chef would help.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

I used Superoneclick with no problem. Did you follow the directions step by step? Maybe you need to install some sort of driver.
Good luck!

I had no issues with mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14036052&postcount=4 ... SuperOneClick can get it here http://shortfuse.org/?p=13 and make sure before you connect that you have USB debugging selected, then once that's done just click root and few moments later happy days!
If you can tell me the steps your following then can see whats happening and where your going wrong.
Let me give it another whirl and I'll tell ya step by step. Just woke up and have to go to work so it may be a few.

Hi I was just wondering if you guys knew some cool stuff to do with a rooted phone. Is it possible to theme a stock ROM? Also what's the deal with overclocking and I/O scheduling? Thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-I896 using XDA App
Yes you can theme a stock rom. And overclocking can only happen with a kernel that is ready to support it.
Keep reading, just make sure you build numbers match

So after I root my wifes captivate with super one click, I can install current nightly with google add on through Rom manager? She had an HTC aria running current nightly and I had to do it always through CWM. Which is not a problem. its because ROM manager didn't work with HTC arias. A little buggy here and there.But I heard its allot easier through ROM manager. But is it safe? Thxs guys.

rom manager is terrible on the galaxy s phones
Thanks. good to know. I'll be doing it from CWM then.
i am not knocking koush and all those involved with ROM manager. i bought the premium version for my other phones, and i love it, but i have to blame samsung and their method of recovery. rom manager just doesnt play well with galaxy s phones. it 'sort of' works once you have CM7 installed. again, its not rom managers fault, its the crappy recovery we have to deal with.
What would be the easiest way to theme a stock ROM? Things like notification pulldown, status bar, battery icons, lockscreen, etc.

find and read the million already written tutorials.read the new user guide.
read read read.
oh and to your original question....
why in hell would you root if you dont know what to do with root?
that kind of methodology will end up giving you a 400$ paperweight.
READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY MODERATOR will tell you XDA is NOT a place to spoon feed babies.it is a community development forum FOR DEVELOPING. it is NOT a "help me do this" fourm.
xda is not a place to "make your phone cool" it is a place of learning and developing.
I rooted for several reasons. I just asked to see what other people were doing with their phones. Anyways, alright next time I'll just go post somewhere else where they hopefully don't mind "spoon feeding babies."

Personally, i stay away from ROM Manager, because CWM works better for me anyways, and i can guarantee that i know EXACTLY whats going on while its flashing...plus ROM Manager, like stated before, SUCKS on Galaxy S devices..

What ROM are you running? Anything 2.2 or below can be rooted with super one click but newer ROMs need other methods. If it is a gingerbread ROM (2.3) then there is a thread in development about how to root.
Yes it's 2.3.5

if the computer is recognising your device there should be no error while rooting with soc rooting gb takes much more time than froyo
if you can use odin then you can flash corn kernel which have a cwm recovery and that recovery can also root your device (not all cwm recovery root device)
corn kernel v7.06 link odin flashable:- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10453685/android/CornKernel_UCKK4_v706.tar

Just do the kernel flash. It's easy and takes five minutes.

My try at it.
tried soc (v2.3.3.0) rooting gb. soc sees my phone gets to step 7 and hangs. I let it run for up to 30 minutes.
anyone else see this or have any suggestions?

if you have installed the drivers on that time then restart the computer and device completely then connect and try again it will not hang also you can flash corn kernel through Odin read my fifth post on this thread

wrong... I used superoneclick root yesterday. works fine. and takes 2 minutes. faster than your kernel swap.
but you know what? you would be right if you ran the old froyo version on gingerbread... imagine that when gingerbread came out, they updated the tool...
I have started to set up my old G1 as a back up phone to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and one of the apps i want to install is XDA Premium but i can not find it. Please note that i have just recently rotted my G1, in the process to install custom recovery and update radio. Any suggestions?
untill you upgrade you may not find it, some apps won't work or even show up in the market on older roms, I assume you are donut and probably need to get to either eclaire or froyo before it will show
alternatively you can try a google search for the .apk and manually load it, it may fail but worth a shot

I was given a Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9 LTE/sgh-i957 about a year ago for free and it has been pretty good. It is pretty slow compared to new tabs and I don't really need the LTE. My question is should I root it and run a custom ROM or just buy a Nook HD+ for $149.99? I can use hotspots on my phone from anywhere so the internet connection isn't an issue. I am just curious if I will even notice a speed increase on the sgh-i957 with a cleaner non-bloated ROM at it's age.
What version of android are you running now? If it's gingerbread you'll see a large change in performance if you go to ics. Cm10 and ics run about the same on my i957. I'm rooted.

To root do.the following:
Download twrp onto your computer http://d-h.st/dx3 Flash it in Odin, PDA
Download superSU-busybox on to your phone http://d-h.st/vjq. Flash that with twrp
You will be rooted. I've assumed you are familiar with Odin and flashing custom roms.

Familiar with rooting, Yes, have done it many times on many phones, current LG Optimus G is rooted. Familiar with Odin, No, this will be my first time using it, but I am a reader and will not do anything unless I am sure.

Best guide for Odin is in the i727 skyrocket development forum. There is a sticky by vincom that is a return to stock / Odin guide. Just follow it with the tab specific files. I'm on my mobile or I'd link you to it. Twrp, you flash just like you would a stock Rom. Pay attention to what what options are checked in Odin. You only want auto,reboot, never re-partition

Thanks, got it rooted and froze a bunch of apps but it is still pretty slow. I guess I will be upgrading because Magazines look amazing on the 1280p Nook HD+ display too.
