Do you know of any rooting method aside from cf-root? superoneclick did not work for me. Alternatively how to root using cf-root without the cwm and just simple root/superuser?
have you tried GingerBreak?
I haven't used it but I guess it might work

The latest superoneclickroot has gingerbreak integrated. Did not work....I don't know about the command line method. I might try later.
superoneclick gingerbread rooting worked fine for me. I was on the 1st gingerbread released - stock rom 2.3.3 by chainfire...

I think the reason why the first GB-the Italian version was pulled out of samsung servers was because it was easy to hack/root. Now the official Asian GB has problems with rooting because they learned from the Italian version and put something on the later release to make it difficult to root.

Well, as I did it on a SGS2 and not on a Galaxy tab, I don't know if the same applies to the former. However, I experienced difficulties with SuperOneClick which I successfully worked around doing the following:
First of all, if you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed on your PC, try downgrading it to .NET 3.0. Reboot. Another thing, try SuperOneClick v. 1.5.5 (which uses rage-against-the-cage) instead of the newer ones (which use either gingerbreak or psneuter). Then, start SuperOneClick before connecting the phone (which must be on usb debugging mode, of course!). When SuperOneClick says it is "waiting for device" then connect the phone and let it do its job.
For me, it didn't work at the first try, as it got stuck at some point. However, after a huge measure of persistence, which included several trials using the mentioned procedure, I've succeeded. As since then I've upgraded my ROM twice, the process had to be done twice again, and the persistence was necessary to succeed in both. Don't give up too early: persistence is the key. At least it was in my case.
Good luck !
PS.: I also could only succeed using Chanfire's XWKDD insecure kernel, even with newer firmwares (KE1 and KE7). I don't know why, but KE1 and KE7 insecure kernels didn't work for me using SuperOneClick.
where can I get the old version like Superoneclick 1.5.5? I tried googling but could not find link....or please provide copy of your file?
thanks!
Unfortunately, as I'm new here in XDA forums, I'm not able to provide external links yet (website policy). However I was able to sent you the link via private message.
Good luck !
Unfortunately did not work for me.I think samsung have closed the exploit on this firmware - which was open on the Italian version.
i am trying to another way by the help of our good friends here
first and second attempt?

Mr. Bong,
3 attempt but not succeed, but i make another trick and i think you consider it,
i rooted it with cf and what you have said the audio in bootanimation gone, then i flash again with original kernel from gb stock by our kabayan noxxoius and the audio back again
first photo after cf, then after original kernel

doing this procedure disables the tweaks app by chainfire as far as i can tell.. wasn't able to check the CWM app and the boot recovery.
yes,
i just check it i thought if the su, cwm ,tweak apps are available in the phone it is already rooted and i check also in adb some commands not allowed/permitted
ahhhh i thought am got the right path
back to grade one
I am on the latest gingerbread DXJPE. As most of you know Z4Root and Superoneclickroot and Gingerbreak don't work on this firmware.
We have available CF-root by Chainfire, DiP7 kernel, and Overcome which have root in addition to other features.
Myself and others that don't want OC/UV or CWM or Voodoo but want to use Titanium backup,etc want a simple root application or a patch to our firmware.
I cannot understand why can't a straightforward root cannot be done unless you have CWM or OC/UV....
So I am pleading/begging you expert coders/programmers in XDA-PLEASE PROVIDE A SIMPLE ROOT APP/PATCH FOR THE LATEST GINGERBREAD.
THANKS!

I am rooted on 2.3.4 and I don't have CWM. It's super easy to flash with Odin, no harder or longer than rooting with SuperOneClick would be.

May I ask what you used to root?
Update/edit: You have a sprint tab....
I agree, I have tried CF-root,DiP7 kernel and Overcome Gold. I have also posted my problems re: CWM but there seems to be nobody interested. I even asked Chainfire the author of CF-root for a way to root without the "extras" but he said it is not possible.
Maybe I will just be content on what is available?....

DXJPE. I have already tried rooting successfully- it's just that I wanted to have root with the following:
1. Stock boot animation with sound.
2. use of the default recovery instead of CWM.
3. be able to change CSC with no errors
All of the above can be done when I rooted using Z4root or superoneclick but not CF-root or Dip7 or more so not with overcome.
the stock bootanimations its already in the stock and it will only work in the stok !!!
if you rooted with superoneclick or Z4root how come you get CWM ? it only suppose to flash ROOT (superuser and busy box) thats all
to change the CSC ,tbh , its sucks way to do so , so ignore it and don't worry about it i also wanna try update via kies but never had
I think the person who posted the original question has a GSM tab and the guy who replied has the cdma sprint tab. The flash for cdma/sprint won't work for GSM. I might be wrong but if you try to flash with the wrong thing, there's an excellent chance you're going to bork your GSM tab. Same thing applies with the other android device I'm dealing with, the nexus s 4g. The GSM and cdma for ns4g and ns are different. The software and hardware under the Hood are different. Not drastically different but enough to make it so that development for the two types must be separate and aren't interchangeable.

to root a phone it doesn't matter if its CDMA or GSM , what is matter if you flashed rom is not for your tab ,
root only contains SUPERUSER and BUSYBOX and nothing else , what chainfire posted is a Kernel and not Root , but kernel contain both , CWM and Root access , and the kernels are for specific tabs.
my point is to root , it doesn't matter if you are GSM or CDMA , then how Z4root work or Superoneclick ? they just push the busybox and superuser to the system. so basically Root tools aren't that harm to your phone or tab

Are you sure that by only editing the dat file you will also reset the settings to the CSC that you choose? Example are language,frequency settings,applications for the region,etc?
What I know is that the CSC should match a nv_data.bak file for your particular firmware. If there is no match then it will be pointless to change CSC but just changing to any value.
BTW,hacking the cache file and installing the hacked file via CWM also solves the missing PDA and CSC ....

The advantage of android is that non market apps can be installed even without root. IOS in idevices do not allow non appstore apps to be installed unless jailbroken.
Also apps which require root are available for android on the market while you will find similar apps only thru cydia.

Our firmware is DXJPE, w/c is the asian region... I think there is an option for gingerbreak on superoneclick but I personally have not tried it out... Maybe bongski can try it out and see if it works...
@bongski: There is an option on superoneclick for "gingerbreak", just take a look at the available option, it may work for you... I don't have superoneclick on my laptop so I cannot tell you where exactly is that option... Try it out and see if it works...
I don't root my TAB, only on froyo when I want to flash other ROMS, so I can't be of much help here...
Both gingerbreak under superoneclick and the gingerbreak.apk don't work on the JPE firmware. I think the exploit in which gingerbreak is based is already closed by samsung.
the root you are able to achieve is through the rom not the kernel or recovery or any of that. that is not a horrible issue especially since there are only a hand full of roms. what has happened in the epic 4g forum is that some roms rely on kernel root and others rely on rom root, like what we have. rom root is fine for average root users cause you can get into the root directory and install or remove stuff at your whim. the issue will arise when the recovery is in place and roms are being developed. if you have a kernel thats not rooted and you flash a rom that isnt baked with root then you lose root. its kind of a chicken and the egg discussion on the surface. i imagine that kernel and recovery devs can argue the preferred method, but for most end users its moot. from what ive learned devices have a recovery kernel and a "rom" kernel. one gets you up and going and allows recovery to boot and the other will control how the rom runs. people have had some issues when they flash what that think is substantial kernel and use an app like quick boot only to find out they dont have a custom recovery like cwm. however when using 3 finger boot or in our case vol up +power they find the custom recovery. a rooted and properly flagged recovery kernel will boot into the custom recovery from the app or from the hardware induced recovery boot. if you read through oldmacnut's thread he eludes to partial root issues. again when our root comes through an odin of a rom thats got root baked in, you dont get to access all the innards of the device and the possibilities that other devices are seeing.
thats my interpretation of the situation
So, apparently, the same rooting method used on the various other Tab's seems to work with the 7.7 as well! Just follow the instruction below:
1. Download and install LATEST SAMSUNG KIES (or stand-alone USB drivers if you can find them)
2. Transfer the attached file root.zip to the EXTERNAL CARD on Galaxy Tab 7.7
3. Turn off the Galaxy Tab 7.7
4. Enter Recovery
- Hold Volume UP button + Power Button
- When TAB turns ON, RELEASE POWER BUTTON (Keep Holding Volume UP Button)
- Will Enter Recovery
5. Select install update from EXTERNAL Storage
6. Look for the file root.zip and select it with power button
7. When Finish, REBOOT. You're done!
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Since we now have a ICS ROM for our lovely niche tablet, at this stage we still don't have a stand-alone root.zip which is ICS compatible, so the above method WILL NOT WORK if you are already on ICS. However, don't panic, the easy way around this is:
If you are already on ICS, flash back to stock using PC Odin, or Heimdall.
Once you have done that, and you are successfully back on Honeycomb, you can use the above method to root your device.
Once you are rooted (in Honeycomb), you can then install Mobile Odin (thank you Chainfire!).
Now you can flash to ICS using Mobile Odin with the "ever root" option enabled.
You should now have ICS and root access!
Enjoy!
Here's a version which includes SU and SuperUser.apk:
root.zip
Great.
Usual questions is it possible to unroot if needed. (by flashing original firmware or any easier method?)
Also will this affect any possible upgrade issues to newer samsung firmware - assuming no.
Cheers.

Re-flashing manufacturer rom through Odin is the only method as far as i know
Can we backup the original rom at all?
I am wondering about the same thing... I guess until a clockwork mod comes out ,maybe not.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
ya, id like a nice backup plan in case.....
flashed my sgs plenty of times, but cwm makes that relatively safe.
Yahoooo.... our very own Galaxy Tab 7.7 development forum. Rooted mine last night and did OTA update this morning. Surprisingly it didn't break the root. My firmware is now LA2. I made sure I have the original firmware to revert to stock before my root and I strongly suggest you to do so just in case you need to send it in for service. Make sure the firmware matches the original region of your Tab.
Thanks for the root.zip. I've got my tab last night and am playing with it. Rooted fine no issues.

Ding ding ding!!! We have a winner!!
You are correct. Until we have a working CWM for the 7.7, the most you can do is create a Titanium Backup or whatever root back programme you prefer. That's not the same as making a complete backup of your ROM though...
OK
1000*THX
Everything is OK!!

Sorry, I'm unclear. Was your device rooted prior to pulling the OTA update down or after? I'm just curious if rooting will prevent future OTA updates.
Burhanistan,
Mine was rooted before the OTA update. The root prevail at least for LA2.
I'll be honest.. What if anything good will come from Samsung via an OTA firmware update.? Nothing.. I don't think anything worthwhile will come from Samsung.. I don't pretty much care about the Samsung OTA firmware updates anymore (TouchWiz made that possible). CM9 or a vanilla build of an ICS based ROM please..

Quick question, do u get a yellow triangle or any sign when u root ur device as with the SGSII?
Hi all,
I have a notification from AT&T that I can now update my Froyo Captivate to Gingerbread.
I am currently rooted (Even if rooted, I am not using any custom roms.. and I don't seem to need any.. I am happy with what has come with Cappy. I rooted it just to sideload the apps as it comes disabled in Froyo by default)
My question is: If I use the Kies and update my Cappy to gingerbread, will I be able to sideload the apps as I do it now?
As I am rooted, will it create any problem updating it to gingerbread using Kies?
I just updated to gingerbread yesterday using kies mini, and after I did the "Allow Installation from non-Market Sources" was visible. I think thats all you need for sideloading. You will lose the Root, but like you said you don't need it.
I'm not sure if beeing rooted will affect kies, I was on a custom rom so I used a oneclick back to stock and then kies
thanks t-roth for the response. How is your experience with new stock GB?
Does anyone knows if I am rooted, I can directly go to the Stock Captivate GB using the Kies Mini

If your rooted phone can connect to Kies, you can install the update.
Thanks Bruce. I will try that out..
Probably the last question. Am I going to see huge performance change moving from Froyo to GB?
I was rooted and Kies had no issue with my phone being so. It left me root-less after the fact, and I felt naked. The number one reason you SHOULD want to be rooted is to get rid of the freaking still-born garbage AT&T thinks we should endorse and like. As far as actual side-loading...I was unable to get the Sideload Wonder Machine to work. But I didn't sweat it because I quickly sought Root. Some of the more powerful utilities require root, but for the casual user, you probably won't want to be messing about in system folders anyway.
You say you "quickly sought root", but did you find it. I tried the 2.3.5 upgrade and as noted it left me able to load non-market apps ok but I was root-less. I haven't been able to root the KK4 upgrade and since I live and die with my Root Explorer and TI Backup I NEED the root. Z4 Root wouldn't work and neither would any of the 3 versions of Super 1-Click that I have (1.6.5, 2.1.1 & 2.3.1). If you were successful, what did you use?
I think it depends on how you enabled the side loading of apps. I'm not on the official gingerbread but that's what I think.

I am having a dilemma, and google is not forthcoming with relevent results, nor was searching the threads here.
So here is my issue, I have updated my sgh-i957r lte to the stock 4.0.4 ics, and cannot find a plausable way to root.
All of the guides on flashing I have found are either for honeycomb, or a leaked version that is not compatable.
The adb guides I have found are also for the previously leaked versons of ics or honeycomb.
So I suppose my question is, how would I go about rooting this update?
I am a fairly new android user, and this has me stumped.
Anybody? I would really appreciate some input on this, even if it's just saying if it is even possible or not.
Go to the i957 development thread, then look for the root method.
Ignore kernel stuff, download the Odin package and the clockwork recovery.
On a windows PC, unzip Odin, and put the clockwork recovery in the PDA slot and run it.
Then, on your tab, download the TWRP 2.1.1 package and install it from clockwork recovery.
That will get you a really good recovery, but not root.
AFAIK, there is no root package for ICS as a standalone zip or Odin tar. But you can then try out danno 2.0.6 and go from there.
Its a telus base, but that doesn't matter as long as you don't use the rogers apps. This will get you rooted.
You can also try nrvates cm10 or dannos AOKP, which are both excellent.
