Hi Master,
I am a new user of android and also tablet.
I been reading how to root Tab10.1 in the forum and tried using Odin to root my tab. Unfortunately I failed to root my Tab for many times, Odin just don work. I guess it is bcos of the version issue.... think so bcos the files that I downloaded is for P7510......
Any1 can direct me to ROOT guide for --> How to root Tab10.1 for GT-7500 (3G version) ?
Thank you
did you install the drivers? If not download Kies it will install the needed drivers then Odin will work

Seriously, the whole rooting proccess on 7500 takes about 30 seconds. You need to do exactly what's outlined in this thread.

[GTP7500] >>> New!!!
1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
rooted already
For CWM
1. After rooting download and install Rom Manager from market.
2. open Rom Manager app and have it install clockwork Mod to your device, you should see your device listed within Rom manager.
3. Done.

It doesn't wipe any data, it simply installs root. If you need CWM you need to do the "For CWM" steps.

Download Rom manager u can backup and restore as required
After reading this post, I remembered a funny thing,
I accidently downloaded the 7510 files instead of the 7500 files when i rooted my tab.... The thing is that I rooted with no problems and it worked great.
how can this happen? Is this normal?

Root on 7500
Hi! I want to be sure of something before doing it...
I want to become root on my 7500 I can't afford to lose any thing on it (apps, data, settings...) because it's not my tab.
So by downloading the RETAIL 3G [GTP7500] root.zip, and going into recovery mode to install the zip, will I lose something or not? Someone said in this post that no data is wiped, but in there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
They say that install a rom in going to wipe all the apps... and I feel like it's what we do here since we are in the recovery mode.
Anyway, thanks for any precisions.

This has been answered several times in this thread.
Installing a custom recovery and installing Superuser does not cause you to lose data. You'll end up with a rooted, but still stock, tablet. All of your data will still be there unless you do something else, like installing a custom ROM.
Download cwm recovery.md5 from droidbasement
Do some odin, install superuser.

Hey there everybody,
I'm new on the forums and i just got my samsung i5500 a few days ago, it came with 2.2 froyo by default.
Considering i have loads of questions I'll try to be brief, I'm trying to get cyanogenmod on my phone but the tutorial i found there seemed to be quite lacking in detail considering this is my first time using android, so my questions are:
1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please)
2. do i need to root my phone ?
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places)
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ?
5. do i need the rom manager ?
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ?
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ?
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ?
Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.

1. Install 'clockworkmod recovery'
2. Yes
3. Did that for me, but pressing the root button again, before shutting app, worked
4. No, you can install clockworkmod through the app 'ROM Manager' found in the market, be sure to click our phone model though!
5. For installing clockworkmod, and if you get premium, downloading the latest version of cyanogen
6. Through premium app 'ROM Manager', or go to the rom manager website and find the files on there.
7. You have that option when you are booted into recovery mode (used for installing roms)
8. If I understood your question right, cyanogen rom is gingerbread 2.3.7 so installing that is all you have to do
I was exactly the same as you when I first did it, kept asking questions and was nervous, but if you follow the instructions, you can't go wrong

4. Tried installing it through rom manager but my phone model wasn't in the list, any ideas why ? could my phone not being rooted have affected this ?
6. tried searching around on the site but the cyanogenmod post says that the files are only available on the weekends or you need a premium account or something like this, any help with this ?
7. how do i get into recovery mode ?

Do you have the latest version of it? Or,
have you tried any other apps? E.g 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot'
4. When did you try it? Its only recently been added. And I would root first, just to make sure that's not stopping it
6. I havnt personally used it, but id ask that in the dedicated cyanogen port thread in development, they'll be able to help you more
7. Through rom manager, after you have installed the clockworkmod

Yes, as i said i have 1.6.2 beta 5, and i haven't tried the others because this one was deemed the safest to use, i'm kind of skiddish about using other unsafe programs
4. I tried it a few hours ago, but i guess i'll try again if i can get it to root.
6. found em, thx anyway
Alright, its there for me so if you root and its not there just tell me and ill try help from there. Good luck!

1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please) Root your phone using Universal Androot- might take a few tries- just keep trying, flash your phone with Clockwork Mod v4 via Odin (or Rom Manager), put the 3 latest CM7 files on your devices SD card, go into recovery mode on your device, then install the files in the specific order (Follow the simple instructions on the official I5500 CM7 thread located under the Development section of our phones forum)
2. do i need to root my phone ? Yes
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places) Just keep trying, it'll work eventually.
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ? I used Odin to flash Clockworkmod on my phone but I think you can do it via Rom Manager now, not too sure but the ODIN method was pretty simple, plug your phone into computer, put your phone into download mode and follow the 'One Package' method and then start the process.
5. do i need the rom manager ? I didn't need Rom Manager when I flashed CM7 to my phone, but CM7 automatically puts RomManager on your device.
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ? Check out the official CM7 I5500 thread.
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ? Go into recovery mode and click wipe data.
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ? CM7 installs 2.3.7 Gingerbread to your device.

thanks guys for your help, i got everything working
If your phone is loaded with Froyo 2.2.2 you will have to downgrade to 2.2.1 as the exploit used by superoneclick ect to allow root access was fixed in the latest Froyo release. Just follow the threads for upgrading. Good luck!

Hi,
I flashed the new Build of CM9, i thought it was a normal ROM that you would flash like a another ROM, but then someone told me that i had to flash something called Gapps + fix, but since i can't access to market, or paste files to my phone i can't do so much.
I want to go back to my old rom (checkrom), but i didn't do any backup and i don't have the rom in my phone (i removed it). Please how can i solve this problem?
thanks
Never tried CM9, but if you haven't backed up and "removed" your previous ROM, you've lost all your data/settings.
Factory reset and clean install of checkrom seems to be your only option - please correct me if I'm wrong, CM9 people.
Advice - Never ever ever ever flash a new ROM without a backup - asking for trouble.
what happens when you put your phone in download mode and connect it to your pc with odin?

Please understand. When you're installing CM9, you cant access your phones memory, because you'll need a program from market, or you need to put a apk in your phone. But since i forgott to install Gapps together with this rom, now i don't have market, and i can't access my memory = This mean, i can't install my new rom.
So i need to know if there's another way to fix the mtp problem or what's called so i can put files to my phone.
thanks

I havn't tried that yet, but that should work. Do you mean i should install stock ROM from there, and then root phone again?
there is something called SDK, its for debugging and you can push apps on your phone with this!
Not sure how it works though, you should check out some guides first
You should still be able to boot into download mode and use Odin to flash a stock ROM.
Put your SGII into download mode by pressing the volume down button, the home button and the power button at once.

Answer - With difficulty becauseyou didn't do a backup
You didn't mention the mtp problem at all in your original post.
Doesn't matter which ROM you install, you should always do a backup, and I'm sure you know that..??
As said, if you don't do a backup, you're asking for problems. You didn't backup, you've got problems. Live and learn.
Lykke til.
This really is not that complicated, ..
Download the app "Android Commander" ... google it ...
Install it ...
Make sure debugging is on, on your phone ...
Run android commander , you now have a windows file manager that you can use to dump files to , or even double click to install apps to your phone ....
you cant just go back to checkrom from cm9.
you have to flash a stock rom via odin and root it again or flash prerooted via odin. then you can install new rom zips with cwm.
as far as i know you cant even use a normal backup when cyanogen is flashed. tried it on galaxy s when i started flashing, but it just doesnt work.
when going back from cyanogen you always have to flash stock with odin.

1. Flash a stock rom with Odin. 2. Start again with your flashing.
It's really basic knowlodge.
Hey guys I rooted and unlocked my Verizon Galaxy note. I installed some custom roms using the Touchwiz recovery and everything works except... I cannot make any phone calls or text. It says mobile signal or something like that. Did I do something wrong can any one assist me on this matter? I followed the steps on the form as well as several videos showing me how to do this. another question do i need to root first or unlock first? I've done this process over and over again but cannot get my cell phone to make calls or get data, There is like a hazard sign where the data shows.. please help me!

So if I follow the unlock guide. via ODIN and casual I gain root? I'm a newbie to this lol former Iphone user all of this is new to me. I've tried several roms and still have the same issue. Also followed the guides as well. It's very fustrating because I get no where regarding this matter. Even watching the video's and following the steps have led me to be unsucessful..

1. Flash revision3 via odin following the guide in its thread. (This will give you root)
2.Follow the bootloader unlock process in adam's guide from its thread (this will unlock your bootloader and unless hes changed it flash twrp a custom rocovery.)
Now you need to reboot into recovery and make a back up. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and restore back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing

To do this wouldve meant you flashed a rom not meant for verizion and got another carriers radios. Also did you check in your settings to make sure you didnt switch data off airplane mode or switch off cdma/lte. Is your phone getting service now that you're back to stock?

Hi, my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3.
My device is bought in Singapore.
Its my first time rooting my device.
Ran into a problem that I couldn't turn on my wifi anymore. (tried wifi fixer app and turning airplane mode on and off)
I have successfully rooted my device as verified with the Root Checker App.
I have downloaded all the files from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330598
I should done all steps correctly.
After I have done those steps, I downloaded Simons_JB_Rom_v100_based_on_AMH1.zip
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374899
Transferred it into my phone then I proceeded on installing the Custom ROM.
I've backed up my stuffs through the the recovery.
I have reset my phone to factory settings, wiped the cache partition, wiped Delvik cache.
I did a restart but i did not see any "Yellow exclamation logo".
After all, I proceeded on to install the ROM.
I cant turn on my wifi from now on. I've tried to download the "Wifi Fixer" app but it wont work.
I got a feeling that I have not erased my previous stock ROM but I proceeded on to installing the custom ROM.
Any kind souls out there who can help me or give me some links that I could refer to?
Thank you in advance! :fingers-crossed:

You need to do a complete wipe and install a stock rom and verify if the phone works. If it does then start again with rooting etc. If not return it for a replacement or repair.

As mentioned in the first post, I did it all correctly? i think i am only unsure on how to do a complete wipe. i restored back to the previous backup. it is working again. but i wish to have a custom ROM installed.

Just install the custom Rom over the top of the old one, no need to do factory reset or wipe anything. The custom roms are based on stock anyway.
Try that and see how it goes.

I have same problem like you, and I finally fail back to stock rom of my region. Then get the root access and delete all bloatware.
So any update of your case, maybe we have the same root cause
I know that this thread is very old but I didn't want to make a new topic on something that was similiar to the problem I was having, apoliges if making a new thread was the right thing. I just really need you all's help.
I'm in need of some assistance.
I have my Galaxy Mega on Metro Pcs. Woke up today and decided to root it or at least ( attempt ) to root it myself. I looked up a couple tutorials and eventually did it. BUT, due to me being inexperienced I didn't make a "backup" of anything.
So now, I'm stuck with a Galaxy Mega that seems to be rooted on another platform other than Metro's. I also am unable to use the Wifi feature, and it seems that I can't transfer files via USB - PC
I tried reverting my mistake but I don't think I'm flashing the right thing. Can someone please guide me in the right direction as to flashing this Mega back to the way it was. I don't want to bother with the root anymore, I just want the phone back to the way it was.
I'd really appreciate any help you gentlemen could give me.

I followed the link but I don't see where the it says United States after I check Galaxy Mega 6.3
I could be doing something wrong, but I'm sure I'm choosing the proper Mega Model.
After I click country, there is no option for America/United States

Oh really? That's great news. So if I update via Kies.. The phone should go back to full factory restoration is what your saying? I really hope this works, installing Kies as we speak.

HELP!!!HELP!!!HELP!!!
Below is my phone information:
Android Version : 4.2.2
Baseband Version : I9205XXUCNA3
I followed the steps to root my phone.
1. I flash vcoreroot-v2.tar via Odin. After flash, I open SuperSU i know that my phone get root access.
2. But, I notice that my WIFI could not open and all my file in internal memory was missing.
3. The thread I view says that I have to flash the stock kernel to my phone.
4. After I flash, my phone back to normal (WIFI can use and internal memory have data) but there have no root acces in my phone.
I have try another ways to root my phone that is using Recovery Mode to install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip. It doesn't work also.
Any steps i have missed up while rooting?????
Let's flash MegaFireV10 and you will have very fast system already rooted. If you wish, you can flash MFv10X which is heavy debloated version of MegaFire
Yep. Same problem for me when I try to root via vcoreroot. No wifi after root. I just wasted my time rooting and got 0x1 knox in the end. Great job, Samsung.
Anyway, there's two red lines upon booting up with root.
Now I'm just waiting for kitkat 4.4.2 first before rooting. Waste of time.

I have the same problem, but at this point i just want to back up apps and files using titanium.
I really dont want to go through flashing stock roms due to the extremely slow download, if i flash Megafire without wiping will i be able to get back my wifi and internal sdcard?

MegaFire Should'nt be flashed without factory reset. So back up your apps, contacts, sms's and whats more and make clean install. I would suggest to use for backup Super Backup app from Store.

You are right if I wanted to stay on Megafire, but my concern was to get wifi and sdcard working again,I flashed without any wiping and it worked. yes there was FC every 2 minutes, but I managed to temporary fix the issue and move on to the next custom ROM.
Thanks anyways!!
