I searched and read through some of the threads and really didn't find a conclusive answer to what I am looking for. So I decided to create a new thread.
My question is: Is there any way to root the N1 that has Stock FRF91? I'm not a noob in rooting, just wanted to make sure. I don't really care about unlocking the bootloader (warranty isn't an issue for me).
Can I just use the fastboot oem unlock command to unlock bootloader then install the custom recovery and install custom roms? Or is there a new method to rooting Stock FRF91 currently.
Thanks
Yes.

The instructions in that link wont work for stock FRF91 with stock recovery. I couldnt get the Amon recovery to load onto my phone in order to flash the root. I have tried to ADB it 5 times and each time it says successful, but when i go into recovery all i get is the android with the !.
By all means OP, you can try this and if you get it to work, let me know what you did. I tried 5 times and couldnt get it to work.
my bootloader is unlocked also.

after you pushed custom recovery, did you press Volume Down button while rebooting to go directly into recovery? because after you install custom recovery and let the phone reboot, the stock recovery will remain; you should try to go into recovery immediately after pushing the amon ra recovery without letting the phone boot up
let me know if that works
What is the method for rooting "without using SDK tools"? There are emulator apps in the market but they refuse to work without super user permissions? I have stock frf91 and looking for a way to root my nexus one?

that did it sir. thank you. Was it like this in 2.1? I dont remember having it revery back to stock recovery when following the tutorials. Then again maybe i never let it completely boot back up...

that's great; it was the same on 2.1, you probably just can't recall at the moment

Interesting. So once you use the Amon recovery it sticks as long as you dont reboot after you install it. I guess i was just lucky the first time!

Before you do this, remember that it's your $500+ toy and your responsibility, not mine. I'm just this guy, you know?
Here's a quick way to get Clockworkmod on a locked (and even unlocked) Tab:
-Get this ODIN flashable CWM 4.0.0.4 for GTab 10.1 WiFi. This is only for the WiFi model and will boot to a black screen on any other model. If you have an LTE, you must use the image in this post.
-Follow this procedure, but instead of flashing the file listed there use the one you just downloaded
Congrats, you are now running CWM. If you want to return to stock retail use this image instead.
Image creation procedure detailed in the last three steps here.
Nice thx bro. Some really good stuff from you lately
Pokey,
Once I do this mod and have CWM running will I be able to flash files via CWM?
I have a locked bootloader and am not able to select a zip to flash when I am in the stock recovery.
I guess what I am asking is if I do your mod will I be able to use CWM to flash the root zip so I can root my tab?
Thanks
Super thanks!!
It worked like charm in my locked retail 10.1!!! I've also installed su, busybox etc. Titanium backup works with su!!
Thanks
Yes, Just did it!!

Did you have to flash the exploit zip after or were you rooted after odin installed CWM?
Did you have the debugging mode checked when using odin?

I installed the exploit zip after odin using the CWM. I put it in download mode as described.
Has anybody else used this method on a retail tab with the locked boot loader?
I only see one person posting that it worked for them and am wondering if anybody else has been successful?
Thanks
Is it necessary to flash a new kernel after flashing CWM in order for it to stick? Or does this permanently flash CWM?

This flashes CWM permanently. This gives the same result as the other locked root procedure if you ODIN this file then flash the stock rooter .zip.
ok, i just did it myself and everything worked flawlessly.
Just run Odin, choose the zip from OP in the PDA field, leave everything else as it is.
Put the tab in download mode and flash using odin.
After that download the root exploit and flash the zip using CWM.
Stalls on SetupConnection for me.
does the locked tab allow you to flash a kernel?
will this work on the first galaxy tab sgh-t849
model: gt-p1000?

Yes, only the stock locked recovery prevents you from flashing a kernel, so replacing it with CWM lets you flash whatever.

Maybe this process works for the original Tab, but the image I posted here is for the 10.1 only.
so the ability to flash kernels means if ICS doesnt make it to the 10.1, we can get it through CM or some other ROM? Thats the only thing keeping me from buying the tab, i want to make sure its future proof, software wise.

Samsung could lock down ODIN or start requiring signed kernels and ramdisks by updating the bootloader with an OTA. Even the nvflash unlocked retail and I/O Tabs aren't entirely safe since the security fuses can be blown from software. I can't see a reason why they would ever want to though since they'd piss off a lot of customers.
alright thanks a lot. It seems a bit odd that samsung even locked the bootloader in the first place, given that they dont lock their phones down. I'll probably end up getting one. Thanks for the help.
noob question, but this isn't going to wipe my data is it?
Just flashing CWM will not wipe your data, but if you plan on flashing a ROM, or the TW update then you will be required to wipe
I followed the intructions here : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(P1000N):_Full_Update_Guide
and followed the guide regarding "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery". all went well as per the instructions description but after the reboot device is now stuck at Galaxy Tab screen.
any fix for this?
also, i tried to access recovery and i can confirm that device has now CWM recovery.

For P1000N GB ROM, just flash Humberos kernel
It has CWM
http://www.humberos.com.br/2011/10/kernel-20111027.html
Just remember that for Galaxy Tab, recovery comes with the kernel.
Not like Galaxy S or Nexus or HTC phones.

Hey everyone. I just recently bough a new Atrix HD since my other phone broke but anyways...
1. i noticed i can access the root of the phone (like / partition) but i cant edit it? so is this sign of root? I tried installing superuser binary and it didn't let me so i guess there is no root.
So
How do i boot into the boot loader?
What is the best method for rooting and instaling SU on my atriix (running 4.1.1)?
How do i flash a recovery and which one is best if i want to get cm11? (on my other phone i needed a completely different recovery to get kitakt)
Do i need to unlock bootloader first then root or vice versa?
So the more details the better i will understand if THANK YOU ahead of time.
sorry for such noob questions
PS yes i did google on how to do this and its a bit choppy. like no step 1 step 2 step 3.

No, its far from choppy. The only root method that works on 4.1.1 is Motochopper, and thats an automated script. So how you can say its choppy is beyond my understanding.
Since you are new to AHD, I highly recommend you reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350721

Bootloader locked = enjoy stock forever
Bootloader unlocked = you can customize
Flashing a ROM is the same as with any device, boot to CWM/TWRP recovery, wipe down, and flash

OOps my bad. By chopy i meant things i found on google. like they just say "this is how you root it" but do i have to unlock bootloader first like on htc or do i root first? etc
I just used motochoper and everything runs great.
i get how to flash a rom haha but do i unlock bootloader first then recovery?
Never mind.
Thank you so much this is so much simpler than my HTC (coming from an lg where you just plug and play) so pretty much this is nothing new to me.
Thanks again.
Now....which kit kat rom would be best right now?

Yes. You have to unlock the bootloader to flash anything, including a custom recovery.
Um....okay the fastboot part....
How do i flash CWM after i have unlocked the bootloader which i just did. I just kind of wonder....do i have to dowload the 400+ megabyte .zip for fastboot?! or im getting something wrong.
okay awkward....
i flashed the recovery and it said the recovery (i got cwm from official cm instructions) and it said it installed fine.
The phone boots and stuff...but when i cant do the following
1. Reboot into recovery using volume down and power button
2. Reboot into recovery using fastboot command (it reboots but instead of a recovery it gives me an android with an exclamation point in a red triangle)

You're booting into stock recovery. You have to change install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak You should find it in /system/etc I believe
Then reflash the custom recovery

If you Flash TWRP recovery trough Odin, like it is mentioned in another thread all about flashing, you can install CM13 (which is basically Android 6). You don't have to install SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...install-twrp-custom-roms-g800f-t3439853/page1
This explains just how you do it, of course you have to flash files specific for G800H and not for G800F if you have the Snapdragon version.

Thanks for answering. I think I screwed up a little. Installed twrp and rooted then I tried to install CM but it failed. I read that the reason is I got an old version of TWRP. So I wiped all but I still have TWRP and rooted. How can I wipe everything? And start as you indicated me? And where can I find a TWRP updated version because I can't find a compatible with S5 mini in the official website.
So many thanks in advance!

Just go to Androidfilehost.com and search for hennymcc than go into his CM13 directory for S5 Mini and download the TWRP there. You can flash it via Odin. Then you don't have to root. Just install CM13 from the same directory. No need to root at all. If you want to, just flash SuperSU which you can find on Google.
If you want to wipe, you can do that in TWRP under the option wipe -> advanced wipe -> and mark data, cache, dalvik cache and system.
Thanks again! I downloaded the recovery you told me. There's just a part that I don't get well:

Aaaaaaah you are on Stock right? If you are on Stock:
Flash the TWRP I told you via Odin and right after the flash finished press the buttons to enter recovery. DONT LET IT REBOOT! if it reboots, you have to try again. You have to go into TWRP right after flashing, because otherwise TouchWiz restores the stock recovery. It only does that on the first reboot. Once you were in TWRP, it stays.

There are other recoverys but TWRP works fine and is the best recovery in my opinion. And no, you can flash any zipaligned ROM with the recovery.
