[Q] Best rooting method sans Odin? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't get odin to work with my 10.1. It shows up, but it can't make a connection and the thread fails. I've tried every driver I can find. Nothing. Kies also refuses to install. I have an old version, but it can't update. Does not see Tab 10.1.
I have the Grey Wifi 16Gb. Has anyone got any ideas?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0, YP-G70CW/XSH

Hi everyone,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 (YP-G70CW/XSH) I've gotten three different errors messages while connected to Kies.
1, This Version of the device can not be updated.
2, S/W version in your phone is not an official version. Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not supported.
3, Your device is up to date. (I know this is not an error, but I've only seen it once.)
My question is, why? I've tired uninstalling and reinstalling Kies a number of times. The best results I get it with Kies_2.0.0.11034_5.
Does anyone know what's happening? I would just really like to update to 2.3 once it's up for my 5.0
Thanks!
Adam
Mine cant connect to Kies at all!
Tried reinstalled and restarted 10 times!
Same here. Mine's the one that was on woot.com, YP-G70CW/TTT. I download KIES from samsungs site, it won't connect. I download the update it says is available, it won't connect. Welp.

[Q] Root Problems with ODIN HELP!

So I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but am having problems...
Here is the situation... I follow all the steps but when I get to clicking and opening the "Odin3_v1.85.exe" it gives me an allow box, I click allow, then (unlike the video) it gives me another box that says odin3 then Japanese or something, when I click the only thing to click on it, It opens and closes ODIN in a flash. This happens everytime...
I have downloaded ODIN, uninstalled, reinstalled, and the works...
I'm running Win7 on my comp, had drivers installed, in ODIN mode, its a galaxy 10.1 running 3.2 all stock upgraded through KIES...
When I just open ODIN without the "Odin3_v1.85.exe" it wont recognize my tab... I'm lost and want to root my Tab so I can run what I want...
Also I have rooted and completely decked out my Vibrant, so i'm not a complete noob, but I am lost on this one...
Did you try re downloading the Odin?

[Q] Need Help Reverting to Stock Honeycomb 3.1 on Verizon 4G LTE Model (Noob)

Hello community,
I have been trying for 8 hours (5 last night and three so far today) to get this to work but have failed utterly each and every time. I own the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (the Verizon 4G LTE model), and I'd like to revert back to the stock Honeycomb 3.1 that came with my tablet when I first purchased it from my local Verizon Wireless store.
I've followed this guide as closely as my understanding of it allowed me to (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089), and I also followed the video linked to in that topic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krQDP7xYlWg) but I was not able to get Odin to work properly. After trying this on three different computers, I was able to get the third computer to recognize my tablet plugged in via USB and the yellow "COM4" box appeared in Odin, but when I clicked "Start" in Odin, it went all the way up to "Setup Connection" and then sat there for at least 10 minutes, showing no signs of a connection having been established. I've installed the Samsung USB drivers from both the topic linked to previously and from the video linked to previously (uninstalling one before trying to install the other, of course), and my tablet is recognized by the computer, yet Odin still stalls at "Setup Connection". I have not been able to push past this first step to rooting my device in order to revert back to stock Honeycomb 3.1, and this is very frustrating. I did have Download Mode open and the terminal that appeared on my tablet did say "Connected to USB, click [Start] in Odin" (or something to that effect). For what it's worth, all three computers I've tried this on were running Windows 7 64-bit (Ultimate and Professional editions).
Please, if anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, once this is all sorted out, I am not exactly sure how to proceed after getting Odin to push past "Setup Connection". I don't even know if I'm following the correct path to reverting my device back to stock Honeycomb 3.1... as I mentioned before, I am a complete and utter Android noob (just got this tablet for Christmas) and I need all of the assistance that I can receive.
Thanks again, community. Hopefully we can get this sorted out and I can get back to using my tablet soon.
Excellent news: I was able to accomplish my goal without any problems using this concise, yet effective, tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342995
I successfully reverted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (SCH-I905, Verizon 4G LTE model) back to stock Honeycomb 3.1, removing the TouchWiz UX update completely. It's as though I've just picked it up out of the box for the first time, and I am thrilled.
I realized that Windows 7 was creating some issues that was leading Odin to stall at "Setup Connection", so I tried it again in the Windows XP Mode VM on my machine and, after a couple of hours of tinkering and reinstalling Kies, it finally worked. Thanks to XDA for such great tutorials and developers! Hopefully this topic will help others in my shoes in the future.

[Q] I can't get Kies to connect to my Tab 10.1

I am completely unable to get Kies to see my 10.1 tab on my PC win 7. I always end up with an error message (Cannot start service on the devise. Please disconnect and reconnect the devise).
I tried the trouble shooting connection option, still the same no connection. Anybody have any tips on making that connection?
I always had problems with Task 14
I think mine stopped working via USB with the last update, although it worked over WiFi. Have you tried both?

WiFi works fine, but I don't see option of updating the firmware on WiFi.
In the same boat, trying to get ICS update but won't connect via kies......
wifi works fine.
The only way kies connects for me is using my unrooted backup. Any custom rom won't connect for me. Have you tried that?
I have the same problem. Tried to connect to Kies before the ICS upgrade and just now after performing the ICS upgrade. Nothing works, tried turning on USB debugging, etc.

Does factory reset work? On my HC 3.2 Kies (and USB drivers) were very finicky. Re-installed KIES/Drivers many times and only a factory reset got it primed and working. Have only seen ID mismatches once in a while after Stock ICS, but when it works Kies also recognises the tab.
my galaxy y has same problem after rooting the galaxy y by NeoX BlackStar X1....:crying:
i need to get back my contacts.......:crying:
if you are rooted, then the Tab will not connect to Kies. The same way like some Samsung applications will not work if rooted. So, there are two options that you: root and live free or stay connected to Samsung like an apple lover.... Sorry, but I am terribly upset on Samsung...
If you are stock and cannot connect... try removing all the drivers from PC (check internet for how to remove hidden devices). And try to uninstall and reinstall Kies

My rooted tab connected just fine to Kies.
What I think you mean is that if you're not running a stock ROM, you can't connect to Kies. That's probably the case. Mine is stock but rooted.

[Q] Kies

Hello!
I'm new to the forum!
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 that is 16GB.
I recently kept hearing about KIES.
So I installed the program. However, whenever I connect my tablet to my computer, KIES wouldn't recognize my tablet.
The only way I can connect the tablet with KIES is through KIES wifi on the tablet setting, which only let's me sync and won't let me update softwares.
Am I the only one having this problem with KIES? or is it just me?
Is there certain things I have to try before trying to connect the tablet?
an answer would be greatly appreciated
p.s.
I have tried reinstalling the driver few times through the connection troubleshoot... it didn't help

I have the exact same problem, have you found a solution yet?
Kies is a POS
I have been busy for almost a year on getting Kies to recognise my tablet. And even though quite a few people have got it working, none of the mentioned solutions work for my situation, except for the factory reset (i.e. wipe your tablet into factory status).
But alas, whenever I reinstall my software Kies will no longer recognise my tablet, and the software is run-of-the-mill stuff, all from Google Play.
So, I just bear it, and wait until the OTA gods are smiling down on me. Once in a while I update/upgrade Kies, re-test that it still does not work, and put Kies in the freezer.
If you try all solutions found in these fora (and not just xda) you might be lucky and find one that works for you, but lower your expectations.
So, probably best is to make backups, wipe to factory reset, get Kies to update and reinstall/restore your backup.
Just out of principle I myself will not be doing that as I will not let Kies dictate my actions. But that is just me.

i know this is super late, i'm sorry >.<;;.
So I didn't have to reset my tablet. Once the ICS update for my tablet was finally released, Kies started working too!
I hope you already figured it out..

ICS by itself worked momentarily on KIES, but 'lost it' again. But the latest KIES release seems to have solved most of the problems. The only problem left for me is that KIES forgets my tablet after I connect another tablet... So connect one P7510 and it recognises it, connect a second P7510 and it recognises that one, but then connecting the first one again and KIES will not recognise it anymore.
Independent of Firmware version (ICS on both) and KIES version... Tried to install an old version of KIES: no luck. Did al the bells and whistles (connect over Wifi and USB at same time and remove Wifi, USB debugging, re-install drivers, KIES, complete cleanup and reinstall) but nothing works anymore. Only a complete Windows factory recovery and install KIES works fine. Not a solution!
