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.

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.

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.

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
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.

use the newest version of super 1 click root.. duh.
or look up the fugu mod root method. odin flash fugu root kernel, let it bootloop once, then odin flash your stock kernel again... or a cwm based kernel for your android version (kk4)

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to root the samsung galaxy tab since it's last update to Gingerbread 2.3.4?
I Only use the WiFi connection so don't care if its verizon root method.
I search for few hours and tried SuperOneClick a few ways already, but nothing has worked so far.
Would installing any rooted rom with Odin work. If you have tried it please let me know.
Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab SPH-P100 NAND lock with the last update?
If you have tried rooting android 2.3.4 please let me know.
Thanks.
Try putting tab in download mode (on/off plus volume up together).. I managed to root by doing this with oneclick.
Super One Click will not work for the Sprint Galaxy Tab on 2.3.4. There is a pre-rooted Rom you can flash through Odin. It's been around since the 2.3.4 update was released and works very well. You can find it here. Good Luck!

I had tried that previously and it's a no go on the 2.3.4 on the sprint tablet.

Since this would install all fresh rom it would delete all my application data for the games my wife and kids are playing. Is there a way back this data on a non rooted tab? once I do this I will try the Odin method.
Thanks.
The root worked great. I thought all my apps would be gone but not true, It kept all apps intact and their current status.
I accidently updated an unrooted Samsung stock ROM that shipped with the phone with cyanogen_mod
_7_tass in my attempt to root my Samsung Galaxy mini s5570 using update.zip method.
I had intended to used the "update.zip" method to root the device. But the ROM MOD instead, sadly had also been "update.zip".There was a mix up of the two files.Theres unfortunately no Clockworkmod Recovery installed. (I was quite aware of this possibility if things were to go wrong.).
My Device runs on Froyo and now is in a bootloop.
I just only want to find out if there is the slimest chance of having my device back in shape again.
Thanks a bunch in advance !
I will be happy to hear theres some hope.

You must reinstall again stock rom (programs needed: Odin,tass.ops and drivers for galaxy mini s5570). On xda you'll find step by step reverting back to stock rom your galaxy mini. Btw read carefully every step to understand those things and after you can practice. Check general section for Odin and installing stock rom.
Press thanks if helped you
am downloading .. s5570 galaxy mini firmware--- is that the same thing as stock ROM?

After a whole day of no-work and goofing around the web yesterday i figured out somthing similar but just wasnt sure ...felt i needed to search some more. then your quote dropped in my inbox. Its made a lot of my confusion clear. I have tass, odin and ops. all the programs need already. At first i could access the stock rovery mode, but using odin again to try and get Clockworkmod made matters worse. I have with a bootloop and no where close to the recover mod any more just downloading mode. So I've kept reading and reading on to find out something useful. I guess that may be the sure way getting stock rom installed back.
Now i am just downloading .. s5570 galaxy mini firmware--- is that the same thing as stock ROM?
That's it man...Official firmware is called the stock rom...
