Going to root my Tab... have a few questions though.

Hello All,
I've long been a lurker but I decided to join today for some help. I've also decided I'd like to root my Tab.
One of the things I want to root it for is the Wireless Tether app. I just wanted to ask anyone that uses it to verify it works and if there are any special steps to make it work. I intend to use Z4Root then get Wireless Tether from Market.
I'm also considering overclocking, any App suggestions for that? I'd also like to know if anyone has any custom ROM suggestions.
Thanks for tolerating my newbishness and for the replies.

It would help to know what tab ur using considering there are like 5 different types.

That's true. Sprint CDMA Samsung Galaxy Tab, SPH-P100. Not too sure what other information would behelpful.

I haven't used tethering, but am pretty n00b to Tab root. I rooted my Sprint SGT using oneclickroot, and it worked great, but haven't done much else. I plan on setting up CWM, and flashing my first Rom today, to prep for the HC port. Since I was planning on it anyways, I can let you know what I do, and what the outcome is... there are plenty of existing threads for that though... I'll test wireless tethering, and let you know!

Thanks Phil, I'd appreciate you testing Wireless Tether on there before flashing it if you're willing to. I don't really have plans to run a Custom ROM at the moment (except maybe the HC port when spacemoose finishes it), but I do want to know if WT will work.

Z4Root no longer works for the sprint tab. You will need to use superoneclick to root. To overclock you can get SGS Kernel Flasher from the market. I am using Bauxite's kernel and love it.

I just got a tab today (t-mobile version). I already own a vibrant (running bionix). Which ROM is the best for the tab....especially to speed it up?

You can only temp root (and permanent root) your device using Visionary application. I've tested it and working as expected.

Why would you want to root the device is it to just put a better rom on it? I assuem you could also put the Honeycomb rom on it as well right?

Maybe use another flasher instead of SGS?
It might be just my case, but all the times I used SGS it has borked my Verizon Tab. Not sure if Sprint is the same way. I was able to recover to a default state by using the Verizon orginal restore files and Odin.

If it bricked your tab were you able to send it back to Verizon and get it fixed? How does that work? If you can't tell I am new here trying to figure out which tablet to get and how to fix it when things WILL go wrong on my first root.

Sorry wrong choice of words, I meant to put borked. Bricked means not being able to bring it back. In my cases I was able to bring it back to default by the Yellow screen download mode. I will correct my post.

Which kernel flasher did you ultimately find that worked with your Verizon Tab?

[Q] New User of SGT in Philippines

Hi, Thanks if your reading this and answering me i really can understand what to do so ill just ask so many stupid question and see if you know some of them. so First how do i know if i have a GSM / CDMA?. Next if i got either the two one what is the best way to optimize my Tab. in a certain way that i can root/flash/rom/hack or etc. and my main concern is that if i was to return all it back like a factory restore can it be done?.
So in anyway possible help me i bought my SGT in Philippines and we get like a Open Line SGT i can use all our Telcom providers and use Different Sim Cards so i really can't tell what to do first.

You have the GSM Tab, I'm sure. CDMA is NOT very common in the Philippines, and you have a sim card slot, CDMA doesn't have this.
Also, unless your Tab was illegally imported from somewhere, you have the international version.

I recommend you try out your stock ROM first, and read heavily on these forums. Know your Tab, current firmware, etc..
Once you've decided to play around your tab's ROM, then follow these guidelines. NOTE: It is possible that you will end up with a very expensive paperweight (brick) if you make a mistake somewhere along the way. Tread carefully.
First, enter *#1234# in your phone dialer to get your Tab's firmware.
2nd: backup your data (in Kies) and apps (in Titanium Backup)
3rd: Root your device using SuperOneClick (this voids your warranty)
SuperOneClick with instructions can be found here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4th: Verify that your "bootloader" is not locked. Last few releases by Samsung locked the bootloader so flashing the firmware may damage or brick your Tab.
You can use Bootloader patch to check. It's here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071&highlight=*#1234#
Again, read carefully and follow the directions..
5th: Finally, one of the best ROMs out there is Overcome. You will find all you need here. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
I suggest you print out the included instructions (in pdf). You will also find all the links to files that you need in this thread.
I cannot stress further the gravity of your decisions... .. Follow the steps carefully and faithfully..
6th: If something goes wrong (I hope not), please don't blame me.
Best of luck!
P.S.
I know my reply is a bit long (I've done my homework somewhat), but I'd love to get a small thank you by clicking on this button............................................... --V

@Sef_P1000
Thanks for the warning i kinda know Bricking and doing this to Galaxy Tab is Voiding your Warranty but i was so stupid i cant tell if i am using GSM but now for what you told me GSM is a Tab that use Sim and for using my Tab now its kinda great but i wanna maximize my Tab so i can do different things and for now ill just read and read but still going to wait for more things and before i do this i am going to enjoy my Tab. Already Sold my iPad and i kinda want to know if SGT 7" is already good or ill be buying the new SGT 8.9 and 10.1 so for now thank you very much and already reading some files but wish some Filipino already tried this but i think ill do just fine i can understand some part but still need to read first and will ask again if need help. BTW are you a Filipino or ???

I'm a Filipino too.
Voiding your warranty should be no problem since you can unroot your phone back. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that you got the GSM one since as Sef pointed out, it's pretty rare for us to use a CDMA device (partly thanks to our backwards and slow internet back home).
Moreover, to optimize your device, just try the ROMs out. You should read the guides how to flash them, of course, whether you wanna use Heimdall or Odin.

Pinoy ako! Hehehe.. (Im Filipino too! LOL)
I feel the same way now about flashing.. I am confident in doing it but am still doing heavy research. Take note that some roms do not have all the features of the stock rom, and they have bugs too.
Maybe in a month or so, I`ll flash this tab and then update this thread.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Okay Thanks ill be doing it too in a few weeks or months just need to double check some details and if i make it success full ill make a guide how i did mine. wish someone in phil can make a video or guide . i keep hearing that using mod ROMs rocks. but still lets see what happen.

hi bro. im also in the phils. ive got my tab from smart for two months, and i'd say im quite satisfied with the stock rom. with all the posts i read from various threads regarding problems in installing custom roms (the latest, also here, regarding overcome sucking the tab's batt), im not fully convinced to try it. my two cents: why fix something that is not broken?
ive had my sonyericsson xperia x8 also for quite sometime now, and flashing it is much less complicated than doing it in the tab. i simply cant risk bricking my tab!
also,a wk ago i had my tab repaired in samsung head office because of dim display. they replaced the lcd even if my tab is already rooted. so rooting i think doesnt make you lose your warranty! they even upgraded my firmware. love the new date, time and weather widgets.
i will just wait for the gingerbread upgrade this may!

im finding it hard to use kies with the tab here in the office. i already tried two computers, one with xp and the the other with vista. kies in my windows xp laptop at home successfully detected my tab. ill try when i get home, and ill post after.

to my fellow users of sgt here in the philippines: what case are you using with your tab, and where did you get it? i cannot find the best case for sgt here in the philippines.

On my side. It detects my tab but says its version cannot be updated.
As for casing im using a rubber case

just got a wifi only tab and I want to upgrade to gingerbread

but can't find an answer.... is it doable? Also, what other mods can I do to it? I wish XDA had a section for each version of the tab, I have a huge headache from trying to find my answer.... thanks guys

bump..... Please guys, help me out. I tried rooting last night but failed, guess I tried the root from a different tab... so please help me out... I'm getting ready to smash this thing

Really, no one can help me out? ... maybe another forum has more courteous members.

Do you think that bumping your post two hours after posting it is courteous?
I just got a Galaxy Tab WiFi myself, but I did my research *before* I bought it. No Gingerbread is available, that I know of. There are not many alternative ROMs for the WiFi only model.
What did you use in your rooting attempt? The only two ways I know are with a Windows app or with z4root, an Android app. I haven't tried either one, here is a link to z4root on this forum.

SuperOneClick should be able to help you root your Tab.
Here's the Noob Rooting Guide with links and downloads.
Always do your research. The Development forums will be one of your best resources for your Tab.

No offense but if you're going to criticize you might as well not even comment to avoid any frustrations or arguments as a result. Thank you for the link, I was able to find z4 and lag fix yesterday.... applied both but i might roll back on the lag fix since I have no haptic feedback now unless anyone knows of a fix? I wasn't able to find anything on Google... wifi only tab and p1010 aren't too popular searches.

*sigh* waiting for this too..

****ty Samsung , is it so hard to just make an official Gb for this little tab considering the workforce they have at their disposal.

At one point I had heard that the Sprint stock GB (2.3.4) update worked on the Wifi only tabs, but I don't have a wifi only to test with.

I haven't heard of any alternative roms for the wifi only version.

Check with Kies, see if you have a firmware update. I only have a P1000, but maybe it's similar.
oh yeah, give time for people to reply your thread. Don't be a spoiled kid.

EDIT: from other answers here the Sprint GB 2.3.4 ROM stock or rooted sounds the way to go, so it looks like this should work for you as it did for me on my Verizon CDMA tab.
It's hard to say for sure, experimentation is part of the fun, but killing the tab isn't. I didn't find any definitive answers on flashing a Sprint CDMA ROM on to a Verizon CDMA Galaxy Tab (for example), so I decided to try for myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255339
I suspect doing a FULL ROM flash would be a *very* bad idea (it seems doing that with a GSM ROM on other (non-GSM) tabs KILLS it). However, the technique I used was only to apply the kernel and filesystems, so I would *think* if you had a backup from before (always best to have a backup anyway, right?) you could always revert. You may want to look around and check to see if stock WIFI images are out there (I don't know for sure) but the Voodoo or CwM (ClockworkMod) recovery backups should be fine either way.
Then if you apply the filesystem and kernel files from 2.3.4 and they don't work you should be able to revert (I would assume, I can certainly flash back and forth on mine). I would *think* the kernel supports vanilla hardware + CDMA additionally (i.e. you don't need it, but it doesn't hurt), but may be fine.
But again, unless you're prepared to take the risk, I cannot say for sure, you can wait and see if anyone else chimes in, but that's my take.

I have the P1010 also and from what I've heard, the two models (P1010 and P1000) have different hardware which makes the latter model possible for the ginger update while ours likely will never get it.
Enjoy it for what it is. That's all I can say.

No offence but you are the one who was rude by bumping your topic after 2 hours and also accusing people who didnt answer as not courteous, so obviously you are going to get criticism.
Your problem is that you cant be bothered to go read or search and expect people to jump on your topic and bring all the info to you. This is XDA-developers, not tech support, try and at least help yourself first before demanding answers.

You can save a flashable ROM in the sdcard. Then if the tab got bricked, you can insert the sdcard in and reflash again. But i don't recommend doing this because me myself never flashed my tab, only my nexus one.

help rooting Verizon Tab

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!

Then you'll need to flash a recovery, either twrp or clock work mod, make sure it's specific to the tab you have. you flash it with Odin
Then you'll need to down load a jb Rom on to your device,again make sure it's for your device. Then you flash it through the recovery.
The stickies will have more specific info. There are no simple steps. You have to learn by reading and trying.

You dont have to use Odin with the latest roms! do you?

Not to flash the Rom, only to get clockwork or twrp recovery on the device. The Rom is flashed thru the recovery.
