Anyone know how I can open com port 1 on PC as Odin can't openit
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App

AFAIK you dont use superoneclick with GTAB 10.1, just Odin, and it assigns the com port. If you have the correct Samsung driver, and KIES closed. Do you have all the files you need in tabrooteasy?

This is how i did it while running old ics. Place phone into download mode, launch kies and connect your phone. Kies will try to connect but won't (mine didn't anyway) don't even pay attention it trying to connect. Now go to tools and select "firmware upgrade and initialization" once you click that you'll now need tl input your phones serial and model numbers...you can get these by pulling the battery out, the numbers are behind the battery. You can pull the battery while its connected to pc via usb and your phone will not shut down, or you could just write them.down before hand. You must input all characters in upper case letters including the i on the model name. Once those are there go a head and click ok, you'll than have a few prompts afterwords...yes/no prompts, i believe i clicked yes on all of them. Than sit and wait, 5 minutes or so later you should be on official ics. If this fails make 100%sure the serial and model were put in right and do.a flash counter to safe.

Galaxy Player 3.6 not rooted possibly bricked

Okay so first of all I've been trying to root this Galaxy Player for a while apperantly there's a rom with root already on it so I downloaded it and tried to flash it using Heimdall for Mac. Now the device won't boot it is stuck on the Samsung part with a yellow triangle and does nothing after that. I tried to restore it by using the pit file but it still won't work is there anything I can do? Please help thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Using the Heimdall software I successfully unbricked the player. I had to force the device in download mode then download the recovery image. Then I flashed it using the kernel option. I'd like to root this device using either the Android SDK or Heimdall can anyone help me thanks

You never mentioned if you have the us or international version. If you have a physical home button it is international, capacitive home button is us. In Odin you just flash it in PDA mode, I would expect it to be similar for you, but I've only used odin
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
I'm using the United States version no physical button. Odin doesn't work on a MAC computer I also have a version of Linux that's compatible with Ubuntu repositories so if there's some other kind of software I can use. I just strictly use Unix like operating systems

those are the files for rooting your device. i used odin but im sure you can use heimdall.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
So iv flashed the rom now I still don't have super user access I use Heimdall still anyone know how to root this device with the Android SDK?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
i decided to try to get heimdall working on osx (i also only use unix, and only have windows handy in a vm for using odin)
I renamed the .tar.md5 files to .tar and extracted the .img from them.
first i tried
Code:
heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.img
with heimdall 1.3.2 i had problems uploading factoryfs.img so i downgraded to heimdall 1.3.1
with 1.3.1 it flashes factoryfs.img, but then my device just bootloops
i have tried heimdall from a linux vm as well but i get the same results.
the fix is easy, i simply open my windows vm, attach the device in download mode (i love my usb jig!), open odin, check pda, click pda, select my factoryfs.tar.md5 and click start
i too would like to get this working in heimdall, let me know if you have better luck with it!
I know that copying the su binary to the system/bin doesn't work because apperantly its a read only file system
IV tried copying the su binary keep getting read only status. There has to be a way to use the Android SDK to get this thing rooted. I rooted my Nexus 7 using psneuter still no luck with the Galaxy Player thouh
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
If you want root you need to flash the file in odin.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
So what your saying is that i can flash the su binary to the xbin or bin... Or just flash the rom im afraid of a boot loop i experienced
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I get the same boot loop results using heimdall. I'm trying to find a fix. Until we find it, use it in Odin and it works.

(Q) Help! How do I unroot my device?

Good day everyone. So apparently I had the courage to root my device using clockwork mod using the i717 method. It was successful and I had superuser installed.
It couldn't get anymore worse. I attempted to install cyanogenmod and it failed. At the restore center (you hold down both volume rockers and the power button), it shows the android robot dead with a red exclamation mark when I attempted to install from a zip file. Fortunately, my phone was able to boot up without issues.
Just now, I installed a root checker app and it says that my phone is not properly rooted. Please, can anyone teach me how to unroot? I can jailbreak my itouch with no issues but this is very complex for me.
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
Just to clarify, when I open up the zip file of the rom I transferred to my device, it suddenly starts copying to an unknown place of my computer. After that, it would open up the zip file.

flash stock rom via odin
Sent from my GT-S6500D using xda premium
Probably used wrong method. To unroot u just remove su if you want also rm superuser app. But the rest is not because of the root. Can you flash with odin?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes, I can flash using odin and I had just re-root my phone. The root checker now says that the phone is rooted.
Now the problems lie with the copying of rom zip files to my device. Whenever I tried to copy, it would stop around 3 quarter. When I try to open it up, it would start copying to a weird folder inside 'temp'.

The rom is cyanogenmod. But this problem is not about the rom. Instead, it relates more to the transferring of the zip file from the computer to my device.

It's okay. I had installed cyanogenmod through ROM manager and it's really cool!

Since there doesn't appear to be specific drivers for your phone I would recommend installing koush's universal adb driver from here http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi. After you install those drivers see if your computer recognizes your phone.

What root procedure are you using and what root procedures have you tried that have not worked or are causing problems for you? Additionally what version of Android is your phone running?
I've tried all apks that I can think of.plus bin4ry.there are a few of them I've tied plus superoneclick
.the bin4ry goes through the process and says all done but its not rooted superuser and busy box are installed but no root also the phone is on 4.1.1 jb.

If Superuser has been installed try going into the Superuser app then under the info tab tap the version number of Superuser and select the tap to check for updates option. It should after checking for updates show an update button tap the update button. After it has updated reboot the phone and see if this helps with your root problem. My other suggestion would be to download Root Checker Basic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck and see if that says your rooted.
Yes I just did that and also checked supersu. Root check say's both are installed but root check failed no such binary installed .and superuser and super su can't download binary

Another root exploit you could try using is the Motochopper root exploit which you can find more information about from here.
Yes well as I said I've tried just about everything and that was one of them lol.I might just have to wait till any devs gets hold of one and developes a root app.until then I'm going to keep having a go .there is more than likely something I haven't tried.

Odin does not install to your computer, it simply launches.
What OS are you on? If you're on Windows Vista or 7 it should work perfectly, I don't know if it'll work on XP. On Mac I believe you use Heimdall. On Linux you use Heimdall.

The toolkit can be dangerous just because it had an unreleased firmware (it was what Samsung used to test the phone before they started selling it) that was the "return to stock" firmware, and I'm unsure if the creator ever removed it so it still probably has it, and was completely unrootable by all of our exploits, unable to be unlocked, and unable to be flashed in Odin so there is no way to get back to stock.
While the other things in the toolkit haven't had as many big complaints as the "return to stock" feature I still wouldn't use it. If it has that there is no telling what else is going on behind the scenes.

I know when I used it for Verizon it had 3 options I believe. But if he has the files downloaded already then I was simply recommending to see if this woukd run Odin on his pc.

This is the thread for droidstyle's guide to restore to stock. Has Odin download and all necessary files. Shangrila is right, be careful with that toolkit. Personally, I would stay completely away from it.
