Hi, I've searched around and can't seem to come across a tutorial for rooting my Galaxy Tab 8.9 on a Mac so that I can upgrade the firmware from Gingerbread because it's too slow and laggy and it gets on my nerves!
Does anyone know of any links? If you do, please share them below. I'd be truly grateful :laugh:

Hey,
I've asked myself if it's possible to flash any Gingerbread rom,Cyanogenmod, or the official one (from the 3G Version) to the Wifi-only G-Tab P1010?
Has anybody already done it and if what are your experiences?
Greetings
Sorry for spelling mistakes.
My guess is no...
Wifi Tab has down-graded hardware which is not competible with 3G Tabs.
I know, but shouldn't this problem mainly effects drivers, because even with the downgraded CPU/GPU it is still more powerful than a Nook Color, for example and Cyanogen is running on this one.
No. Its definitely impossible to sucessfully flash roms for P1000 on P1010 period. Of course in the future we will have custom roms for Wifi version but not now.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Thanks Nabu,
but do you or anybody else know something about an official release of Gingerbread to the Wifi-Version, I'm mean Samsung just annouced these updates for Galaxy Tab, does this mean both ones or only the p1000?
If anybodys knows something or has a link, post it.
Hello, I also have a Galaxy Tab Wifi Only and would like to know if anyone is working on a rom or any other kind of upgrade from the original 2.2.1 to a 2.3.x firmware.
Another thing is that I have installed KIES in my PC but it doesn't recognize my Tab and can't find the drivers anywhere.
I'm assuming this Tab in not upgradeable to 3.x right?
If anyone has any info its really appreciated.
Thanks

Ok do not.... DO NOT try to flash your GT-P1010 wifi only tab with anything else other than what a Dev says so, and I would wait a few more weeks as there is a honeycomb rom in the works at the moment but its not official yet and nothing ready even to try, but it will if it is possible (which think will not be too much of an issue) be posted in the Android Development threads, so keep an eye out there.
but let me stress right now, you can only root your device and over clock it.. thats just about it for now PLEASE DO NOT TRY anything else for now.
hi i was wondering has anyone on tmobile got the official gingerbread yet? ive seen loads of people have got gingerbread through rooting but im scared of bricking my phone and dont see huge benefits from rooting it. if any one could tell me if gingerbread is out, that would be grateful and if anyone could tell me the benefits of rooting and a very easy way of rooting that would be great. Thanks again

HI there,
Trying to unlock and root my new galaxy tab 10.1 (model GT-P7510). I've followed the instructions where it requires to push the samsung_galaxy.root.zip file into the sdcard but when rebooting into recovery mode, it does not detect / display the file on the sdcard. I would appreciate any help on whether or not it's even possible to perform such operations.
THank you.
how to find out if you have an I/O edition or retail ?
Retail TAB
P7510 IS THE RETAIL VERSION
I know, I have one. I am also trying to figure out how to root this bad boy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
There is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 thread.....you should use search next time.....
I've read them.!!!

I've read the threads, etc... I CAN'T FIND a definitive
HOW TO ROOT A RETAIL SAMSUNG TAB P7510.
This being one that is WiFi only... Has no cell=phone affiliation AND
an updated rooting guide that was authored/update around June of 2011 (when the P7510 retail was released)
Different variants of the SGT have been around for a while and I don't want to brick my tab using rooting methods for older/different tabs.
So, I ask the question again. Can anyone point me to a rooting guide for the
10.1 INCH (WIFI ONLY) MODEL P7510 RETAIL SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB ??
And please don't say "try searching the threads"...
I HAVE!!! Perhaps I'm just to stupid to find anything that specifically addresses my question?!?
Any meaningful HELP would greatly be appreciated!

I would like to second the request, and the sentiment.
GalaxyTabHacks.com has an article/video on the process.

I know this is an older thread but it covers what I am looking for. I didn't find that the answer provided in here as the last post suggested was the solution. That video and how to is for rooting the device not unlocking the boot loader.
Does anyone know if you can unlock the boot loader for the non Google I/O GT-P7510 devices?
I really want to try out the latest CM9 image but I also don't want to never be able to go back on the upgrade path from Samsung.
I am hoping someone has a solution to unlock the boot loader for this non Google IO "p4wifi" device.
Hi everyone, I have a Korean-type Galaxy S phone here that I want upgraded to at least gingerbread. However, the only problem is I can't seem to find a firmware list ANYWHERE i look. I've googled it, I've looked for threads here on XDA, and I've also checked other websites and I still can't find anything. Please point me in the right direction, or give me any information or advice. Thanks!

Can anyone please point me in the direction of the rom for SM-T580? I've been googling it for what seems half the day now and I've had no luck at all. I've check the obvious sites like sammobile and galaxyroms but all I can find is 6.0.1.
I should mention that I'm rolling back to that version because I've heard that it's the only version that will allow me to transfer rootjunky to it as it's currently bootlocked.
Thanks.
Sorry, just read rules!
