Question re. rooting a UK Tab

Hi all,
Tesco in the UK are selling the 7 inch Galaxy Tab for £149, down from £399, so had to buy one.
I'd like to root it but not sure if it is one of the rootable Tabs.
This is the information from About Device:
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJP9
In the Mobile network type it says HSDPA
Is this Tab rootable, and if so, which method should I use, and which files do I need to download?
Many thanks
Gaz

Hi Gaz.
I managed to get one last night from tesco too.
Just rooted it using the method on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Very easy.
Now I'm on the hunt for a decent custom rom, but need to install recovery first :s lol

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like you rooted it before updating the ROM to Gingerbread in kies. You would have been running the original Froyo ROM, which I believe the method above works for. I don't think it works with Gingerbread.
I don't want to install a custom ROM, just want more control for backing up, removing bloatware, etc.
Thanks
Gaz

You're right (sorry I had missed you had Gingerbread right out of the box). I rooted the stock Froyo version, then updated to Gingerbread via the Samsung Kies updater.
Then I re-reooted using the following:

Very simple and works for GB ;-)

Thanks for the link. Nice to know it works. If it works on yours it should work on mine; I just wasn't sure which of Chainfire's kernels to download as he lists several here on XDA and none seemed to match my Tab. I'll give it a go.
Cheers
Gaz

That worked a treat.
Thanks for your help. Always safer to check before doing this as it would be embarrassing if I'd bricked a 1 day old Tab!
Great value at £149. Thank you Tesco!

Glad you're sorted
Yeh kinda impossible to take it back for an exchange if you brick it, seems like the stock is well and truly gone now.

In desperate need of help with S2 stock upgrade!

Hello Xda! I hope you've all had a wonderful christmas eve and an even better new year! I've joined this site after headhunting and reading numerous posts touching different topics regarding one subject and one subject alone: Samsung Galaxy S2.
Now, on to the issue at hand. After tweaking and modifying my firmware, in hopes of getting Cyanogen 7 to run along with the ICS theme for it and having failed, my Sg2 has never been the same, of one simple reason: I haven't found the exact stock firmware that fits my phone. When I write "fits my phone" I actually don't refer to the fact that they aren't working as they indeed are, but no-one that's up to date.
The problem could've been easily fixed if Samsung Kies actually worked with my Windows 7 64-bit, which it doesn't, and please, don't point me in the direction of other posts such as "untick debugging mode", "reinstall Kies", "install those drivers by searching 'this' and 'that' on Google", because trust me, I've tried everything. It worked for a couple of days, but now as I really need it, and want to get out of the hellhole I call "KE2", it doesn't seem to want to help me, at all. "This device is not supported by Kies".
Now, I've visited another thread here on xda, more or less this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and dabbled myself through numerous versions until I finally settled for XWKE2 - Generic NEE and successfully managed it to run on my phone with Odin.
Since my phone is operator locked and I'm paying for it monthly via a Swedish operator known as Telenor I'm not able to update the firmware via About phone -> Software update either.
As I said, Kies isn't able to update my phone to 2.3.5/ KE7 (or whatever version is the newest) and I'm thusly stuck with XWKE2 & 2.33.
The most major problem I have is that I don't know which firmware to download from the topic I provided above, and I'd really like to know which one to actually download in order to have the most up-to-date version.
I'd immensely appreciate any help!

The stickies have some good unrooting info. I would just flash a dif custom ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

why dont u flash the EU KK2 ROM with XXKI4 modem ...

Seems that I managed to throw in an update after all by simply connecting it with Kies again. Really strange. The information I'm given is that It's been updated to
PDA:KI4/PHONE:K1/CSC:KH1 (DBT)
I know that there's supposed to be released version where a blue animation detail/shadow appears every time you hit the top or bottom page of a settings window or such, which I'm missing, making me wonder if the version I have is the latest or not.
Can anyone possibly provide such info?

Why would I want to unroot it? It's not rooted, is it? I mean, I had it rooted and then unrooted it, causing the yellow exclamation triangle to disappear. I thought it actually wasn't rooted anymore.
-----------------------
Edit: Just downloaded Root checker and my phone's unrooted.

Shameless bump :C

Use Odin
Your first mistake is using Kies. The only reason to even install Kies is simply to let it install the drivers for your phone. By the way Kies does work on Win 7 64 but you should use Odin anyway. I got tired of all the bugs and malfunctions in various custom roms and came back to stock, Gingerbread DXKL3 (waiting for the stock ICS release in a few months). This rom is available here on XDA both in stock and Frankenstein versions. I use the NEAK kernel on my S2, although the Siyah kernel or the Speedmod K18 kernels are excellent too. So is the Dark Knight kernel with the Chekrom rom. Use a CF-Root kernel first to root, plenty of instructions here (just search) but it does take awhile to learn this stuff.

Have a look HERE for Rom's for your phone.
I have used:
XWKL1
Android 2.3.6
Based on official package
in the UK and it is very stable and great reception (for me)
Have a look HERE, has methods for flashing & Rooted Rom's
Very easy to follow and shows how to remove the yellow triangle
Any questions just ask.
edit:Always use odin for PC flashing (firmware KL1 should work for you)

You might get more help in the Galaxy S2 forum.

[Q] Galaxy Note Lag/No updates

Dear forum members
In the word of Princess Leia you're my only hope,
I've been losing a lot of sleep over this matter so please don't tell my about how blazingly fast your Note is as every time I read about you lucky bu****s I get a sinking felling at the pit of my stomach.
I appreciate any help you can give.
You'd be forgiven for thinking:
A: This is a repeat thread
B: I'm Trolling if only that were the case

I'm not alone in that my version of the sim free Note only appears to update once when first switched on
To quote an older thread which reflects my own situation closely in all but two aspects in that my Galaxy Note lags and mine was bought in the UK
Quote forum (member: turshija)
(I know there are many threads asking the same question, and I've looked through many, but still haven't find an answer to my problems.
Just to clarify, my phone is not rooted, nor flashed, and I'm planning to leave it that way as long as possible, unless I really can't find any other solution for upgrading my phone
As soon as I've powered it on and connected to internet, I've got an update (OTA), which I installed as soon as I got home and plugged the phone to charger. Since then, I haven't got a single update, whenever I manually check I get "No updates!", and Kies says I have latest firmware, but im stuck on KK5 :S)(turshija)
Please note I have edited this quote.

The lag is most noticeable when trying to copy and past as it becomes almost imposable at times stoping then rushing to keep up with my finger.
When on the home screen swiping between windows and the same again in the stock browser can be slow
also when scrolling up and down a web page it gets quite choppy,
At times it can seem normal, while playing a game like asphalt 6 but every now and again the frame rate subtly skips a beat
coming from a single core iPod touch this is noticeably slower.
I have done a the LCD test *#0*# no problems detected
Looking at the RAM as a possible culprit in Options-Applications-Running services it shows that it has 178mb used and 500mb free yet in Task manager under RAM it has 437mb out of 800mb in use?
The question I'm trying to ask:
Is this a permanent situation do I have a faulty Galaxy Note or is it a matter of watch and wait for the ICS update or should I use factory reset?
As my mobile is past the return date, and until now I've never had a need for a warranty on anything from Samsung.
I don't even know how to apply for a Galaxy note Warranty?
************************************************************************************************************************
EDIT: 06/02/12
My Note is afflicted with the screen bug when set on a low light setting switching power saving mode off has had little effect.
When reading a web page or most notably in the stock Mini diary the back round colour changes ever so slightly from one hue to another sometimes taking a slight pinkish or blue colour.
Can anyone with the same Galaxy Note version posted above confirm the same problem?

I hate to break it to you but your phone is rooted, look at the kernel version. You dont need to be rooted just flash the latest stock Samsung Rom. You will not void any warranty and it takes care of the many issues from older roms

That's how I got the phone from Newegg. Is it normal that a phone comes with root from the store?

root your phone, it's easy and more or less safe if you do it according to instructions, then flash CriskeloRom for example and enjoy smoothness and absolutely no lags on your Note
Flashing doesn't require knowledge about dark magic, just some reading
Android was not designed to actually work out of the box, I mean it;s true potential can be seen after some tweaking

You need to update your firmware to LA4 and that is the lag free official update. and you will find all solution for your problems. you cant update this directly through Kies or from the device. download the firmware and Odin then flash it.

Forgive my ignorance but if I under stand you correctly when you say rooted do you mean to say that my phone has had a custom rom installed possible from a previous owner?
As the phone came to me in what I had a summed was a sealed box and full original retail packaging I even checked on Youtube to confirm this.
My apologies perhaps by rooted you mean it's not a sim free phone as I had originally assumed?

Thank you all again for the help

As an EX-Apple owner I find the idea of having to flash my phone as very intimidating.
I don't regret choosing this phone in fact I love it, but if at all possible I'd rather wait and have Samsung fix it for me.
I guess the question now will Samsung get off there behinds and to something, I don't mind waiting if it's just two months away but that might not be the case?

mobile odin is easy to use and safe, no yellow triangle, no increase in flash counter, but to use mobile odin you have to be rooted first
read, there is a lot of good guides in note section, just follow instruction and you will be ok, I got my first android phone in november, flashed first rom 2 weeks later, phone is ok, still working it's really easier than it looks and well there is a lot of benefits, like customs roms and kernels which are tweaked and can bring best in devices.
good luck!

At this time I'm a little sleep deprived but will take your suggestion into consideration thanks indie and iceangel1980
The problem is I'm used to having it all done for me, I'm a lazy Ex-Apple user but I believe it will be worth flashing it in the end.
Thanks one and all, goodnight

Just root to make sure first.

More bugs
In the hope someone is still following this thread I've edited my original post to include the bellow - I hope to avoid posting an unnecessary second thread.
My Note is afflicted with the screen bug when set on a low light setting
switching power saving mode off has had little effect.
When reading a web page or most notably in the stock Mini diary the back round colour changes ever so slightly from one hue to another sometimes taking a slight pinkish or blue colour.
Can anyone with the same Galaxy Note version posted above confirm the same problem?
Is there any consense as to whether this is a software or hardware problem in which case I'll need to send this phone back to Samsung.

If your talking about the changing in hue when scrolling up and down, this was fixed in the newer firmware for a lot of people. If it doesn't fix the issue, then you may have a faulty screen. As suggested earlier, flash the latest stock firmware to make sure.

Thanks indie your a hero
Man this phone as much as I love it's overall design, It's quite nerve racking number of bugs for such a premium product.
I just wish Samsung would be more open about these problems:
We know there is this or that problem where working hard to fix it in a future update.
Not the have fun finding out if you have a faulty half a grand phone for the next two years approach.
That's business I guess.
Thanks again for indulging this neurotic thread starter.

Hi, I just got a new white note and had the same saying [email protected]
The phone is not rooted as I mentioned earlier. You will need to follow the root procedure if you want to root the phone. Otherwise, just use Odin to flash any Samsung stock firmware. Do not flash custom firmware as this will increase your binary counter and void warranty.

Hi I have just bought a note and its pretty laggy in the browser, when waking, and earlier was frankly a dog when using the audio player at the same time as using the web - my S2 was nothing like this.
Just come across this post and LA4 is mentioned above but cannot find LA4 for uk - which stock / official ROM should i use?
thanks

Stock UK is KKA at the moment. 21st Nov build.
Stock Germany is at LB1 I believe now. 17th(?) Feb build.

Noob needing help with rooting advice?

Hello xda-developers,
I am a noob once again in desperate need on guidence on my new device...
i have had iPhones since the very First ever iPhone so recently when i decided to sell my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to buy 1 device the Samsung Galaxy Note i was making a huge risk as i have never used anything other than ios but i made the risk and couldnt be happyier,
Now onto the more serious part on why i have created this thead...i need assistance on how to go about rooting my device
It's a Brand New Samsung Galaxy Note White Euro model, i wanted uk but couldnt find it in stock anywhere and had to order online, i think it came from germany as when i checked the tracking thats were it was dispatched from,
I have been doing alot of reading on these forums and others around the internet and i think i have it right but because my model might be a germany handset but dontknow for sure from what i can tell it has
baseband version N7000XXLA4
kernal version N7000XXLA6
from what i can sorta understand because its on N7000XXLA6 it cannot be rooted direcly and needs to be downgraded to a lower firmware? also is the kernal version the firmware version?
sorry for the noobish talk i wanna get this right as i dont wanna damaged my new device...do i need to downgrade my firmware to be able to root my device?
my plan is to once offical ics comes out to have offical ics installed then root the device then remove all the bloatware from it and make it original pure clean ics kinda like the nexus no samsung crap on it but have root access for extra features like gamepad support like ps3 controllers and other features.
i have tryed to work out the best thing to do so far i am stuck with thinking my device cant be directly rooted and i dont wanna jump in a fiquire out the hard way as iknow rooting isnt as easy and jailbreaking.
i can't wait to hear feedback and help tips and tricks from the community and also very big thanks in advance for taking te time to read this

Your Rom is too new to be rooted directly, you got that right. Go to this thread and download any Rom older than N7000DXKL3 (I prefer N7000XXKK9, it's easily rooted using zergrush method, but it's your choice, of course). Then you can proceed with flashing your downloaded Rom via PC Odin (detailed instructions with pictures in the said thread).
Then visit this thread for instructions on rooting your Rom (find 'Method 2: Root + CWM recovery' and follow it to the letter).
Once you're rooted, you can either upgrade to the latest stock Rom and keep your root, or flash any of the custom Roms available in the Dev section.
Good luck.

u can also go to youtube n refer ashwin tutorial how to root...it will help u a lot coz u can see n know what u doing...follow exactly teh instruction n u will not face any problem..happy rooting...
i give the link to help u save time..

Thank you

The 'T' in the model number isn't branding. The phone is actually slightly different.
I have a friend who works for Telecom here in NZ and they also sell the I9305T.
He said it is optimised for use on Telecom's network (and obviously Telstra's too) it uses different modems and the antenna is different inside the phone.
They do however use the same ROMs and firmware. Anything intended for the I9305 will also work the same on the I9305T, except modems.

Hi all,
I have a question about rooting, i followed the ausdim rooting guide and installed triangleaway but system still shows modified. Anyway, Is there a ways not to use CWM recovery and use stock recovery? how can i flash stock recovery and keep root? and if i want to update to 4.1.2, can i do OTA without losing root? Thanking you in advance

Hello everyone!
New to this forum and new to Android phone. I have searched the whole forum and read through the dev-sections. Also did searches on multiple sites and through searchengines to find out what device model to use in the ToolKit...didn't find any confirming answer to my question.
As I have no posts from before, I couldn't write this in the dev-section, so I chose the thread that was closest to what I was looking for.
Question: What is the correct device model to choose in the ToolKit (I have version 7.0.0).
Information from my "about section"...
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G
Model: GT-I9305
Android-version: 4.1.1
Build: JRO03C.I9305XXALK5
Operator: Telenor (Norway)
The options I lean towards since the only choice showing 4G, is number 21 (International 4G).
Problem is that it says it's GT-I9305N and not GT-I9305. It also says (Build JRO03C ALIA) and that does not match to my build either.
Then I look at the (International LTE), which says (GT-I9305)...which is ok.
And then number 14, which says (Build JRO03C ALK5), which is the same as mine...but it doesn't say 4G, which I have.
It might sound silly, but I really dont want to make the wrong choice here and end up having a phone that either "does not work at all"
or "does not work as it should". And before anyone says that I then should just leave it alone, my only intention at this point is to let
my anti-virus get root-access, so that the firewall works and the anti-theft works.
Hope anyone can be of help and thanks in advance.
Anders - Norway

Question: What is the correct device model to choose in the ToolKit (I have version 7.0.0).
Information from my "about section"...
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G
Model: GT-I9305
Android-version: 4.1.1
Build: JRO03C.I9305XXALK5
Operator: Telenor (Norway)
The options I lean towards since the only choice showing 4G, is number 21 (International 4G).
Problem is that it says it's GT-I9305N and not GT-I9305. It also says (Build JRO03C ALIA) and that does not match to my build either.
Then I look at the (International LTE), which says (GT-I9305)...which is ok.
And then number 14, which says (Build JRO03C ALK5), which is the same as mine...but it doesn't say 4G, which I have.
It might sound silly, but I really dont want to make the wrong choice here and end up having a phone that either "does not work at all"
or "does not work as it should". And before anyone says that I then should just leave it alone, my only intention at this point is to let
my anti-virus get root-access, so that the firewall works and the anti-theft works.
Hope anyone can be of help and thanks in advance.

Ok, so I rooted my device yesterday after reading through like 10 more threads...just took a chance, thought to myself "guts and glory" and went for it..went well =) I chose option 14 the build was the same as mine and it worked like a charm.
I am still left with a few quesitons though...might not be relevant to the thread anymore...
Does the rooting share the same build-match requirement as the flashing of a new operatingsystem?
How do I uninstall apps that were preinstalled on an operatorlocked phone?

I think you should look for app in app store, Root App delete or something like that. Then search for you operator apps/files and remove.

1. Bootloader is allready unlocked
2.For how to root look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255190&highlight=how+to+root
3. Flash custom recovery, would advice this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxZf39vI0Lc. Download the .tar.md5 and flash with Odin in PDA.
4. Go to the CM thread and download the latest nightly and Gapps (Google apps) and place on the sdcard.
5. Go in recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache, format system and data factory reset and then flash the CM rom and Gapps right after another without rebooting, reboot and you`re done.

Is it better to update (to current) android version?
Or is there ANY practical sense to ROOT at lower level android v. Then apply OS mainframe.. YDVTY
