but odin is very danger
i dont have a professional skills
afraid that i will make some damage with my phone
do you have any easier method?
and how to unroot?
thanks!

in the beginning i were afraid from odin but if you follow the steps nothing bad will happen, just do what's written and don't be afraid
i'm not an advanced user but i think it's the only solution to root the phone the first time
to unroot you have only to flash back a stock kernel
edit: you can find on youtube videos showing you how to root with odin

From my experience, odin is the easiest! Of course, first time is scary. If you are using android, odin will be the app you will always use.
The steps are easy. Step by step. Just follow it and you will be fine. I follow those too.

Help flashing flappjaxx uclf6

im trying to flash flapjaxxs rom to my note but wen i extract it it doesnt show a tar or pda to use in odin.
Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
You must never of flashed a rom before you flash the .zip in CWM or twerp recovery on your phone. You need to read the noob how to guides. Maybe someone else can point you to a good one.
Lol wut?
Did you bother to read the OP of the ROM?
Nowhere does it say to extract and flash anything in Odin. You use CWM. Please read more before you brick your device.

Hej fellow Dane
Just follow this guide step by step its excellent and proven always to work

Then you will have your phone rooted through the kernel and the necessary CWM (recovery) installed - !
After that dl your chosen rom + kernel and reboot into recovery flash rom zip file then kernel zip, reboot and voila welcome to JB 4.1.2
And since you are a newbie (we all were once) i suggest you dont flash through odin/heimdal but only through CWM until you get more experience overall !!
Then you will be ok :laugh:

Hi all ok ask away
Yes first clockwork recovery first then boot into cwm (clockwork)then what rom you choose - and i should think its pretty similar to what ever recovery's you've seen, at least in Principe of how it get things done!
You can boot from os to cwm through rooted kernels, by holding power button and choose reboot, that will give you two options to reboot or into recovery (no need for the combo buttons)
Edit: in CWM there´s a menu and one option is install zip from sd card (nternal/external) and then you browse through your sd with volumebutton (or in the new CWM you'll get when flashing a JB kernel a touch recovery - awesome by the way )

see the problem I have is I cant do what the steps describe as it requires I turn on my phone and see what build it has, and copy zip files to internal storage....so only option I have I think is odin

Ohh yes this way wont do then - you have to get a stock sammyrom with a pit,md5 or sometimes called tar file and make sure you tick repartition in odin before flash - then you will have a working OS and can do the above steps!
Or mayby better her

But if you havent wrote down what excact firmware you had..you gotta pick the closent match you can think off , thats gonna be ok
Or try find your spcific region code for your country/region

In cooperation with ICEHANYIOU, i promised to say how he unbricked it:
*Installed CWM with ODIN
*threw darky rom on external sd (awesome rom btw)
*flashed the rom with CWM from external sd
*working, unbricked phone.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2

Rooting, is the risk high?

If I follow all instructions correctly will my phone not get bricked? Is it just luck to do with whether your phone gets bricked or is it because you download the wrong file? Is it worth rooting also? What are the advantages? I don't have an SD card so if I root would I lose all of my apps/pictures?
It's very safe no you won't lose anything, just install a rooted kernel and your fine.

Sorry, i just needed to know the basics. I probably shouldn't of rushed and should of searched instead.
No problem,Im just advising you.I spent a week reading stuff before flashing anything and I still ran into problems.
If you have the GT-I9100 model I just posted how to root the phone using the stock recovery which saves using Odin in the meantime.
You could try that now if your on ICS firmware.

Yes I'm on 4.0.4. I'll have a look now thank you
Be very careful since your on 4.0.4 stock.
Thats why you flash the siyah kernel straight after you flash the su/busybox file.
siyah-s2.v4.1.5.zip is the one for you.
Would it be easier waiting for JB to come officialy? I only want to root to get a custom rom on jelly bean, well I haven't really looked at other things you can do
You can install the leaked lsj one then root that.It could be a couple of months before official one comes out.
Or try custom ones like rootbox etc.
Theres also the option of trying one, then making a nand, and so on and so on.Then you can just restore the nand of whichever one you like.

:good:
As a new user that is the single best advice you can take. 99% of issues new users have are caused simply by them rushing into things, not searching, not reading, not learning and then doing something wrong.
I can make a tutorial how to do it, its different then just install SuperSU and a kernel, but it works very good, rooted 4 S2s on this way.
If you read the instructions you will root it succesfully.

1. Install Kies (no need to run)
2. Reboot device into download mode and connect to USB.
3. Load up ODIN.
4. Load Siyah kernel into PDA.
5. Flash.
Its that simple.
Installing a custom kernel will root, install cwm, su etc. No need to mess about with any of the guides that have you installing separate things.

That is a bug in stock 4.0.4 kernel. When you flash a custom one like Siyah you're completely safe from the emmc bug so have no need to worry about it whatsoever unless you flash stock firmware in odin again.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510 wifi Root Issues

I have been trying all day to root this bad boy. After finding nothing but broken link after broken link I finally found <cm-10.1-20121229-UNOFFICIAL-p4wifi.zip> and <cm10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4wifi.zip> I am stuck at this point because I don't know which to use and well, quite frankly im a noob. ive watched a couple videos and even talked to a guy who rooted his but, i'm unsure about where to put this friggin file. some people say to have my tab in usb debug mode while others say to the contrary. some say to put my tab into odin3 while others say to have it in recovery mode but the one consistency is that they all say that its simple and "noob proof". Well with all the contradictory methods i've researched the one thing ive concluded is that for a noob it really aint that easy to sort through everything ive found and realize what the hell to do. I really don't wanna brick this frigger so this if anything is a desperate cry for help.
Long story short, I have the files which one do I use and what do I do with it?

There's nothing hard about rooting if you want to flash a custom ROM on your tab, 99.9% of the developers pre-root their ROM's so you dont even have to root it, so did pershoot.
Step 1: You start from zero: you have a gt-p7510 STOCK ROM on android 4.0.4, if not, flash the ics bootloader from droidbasement.com via odin in PDA slot.
Step 2: go to droidbasement.com, and it depends which android version you want to flash, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, or 4.2.2, let's say you want do flash android 4.2.2, download clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.4, flash it via odin in PDA slot and reboot your device.
Step 3: once you have cwm 6.0.3.4 flashed, connect your tablet to your pc and get the latest nightly version, YOU DON'T WANT TO USE EXPERIMENTAL BUILTS!! Since they were only ment for pure development and they could be very unstable. Download the latest version here http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi here and copy the file over from your computer to your device. DO NOT FORGET!
Step 4: reboot your device into recovery and do a factory reset, go to your 0 folder in recovery and flash the latest nightly built. ( a factory reset via cwm will not delete data on your SDcard
Step 5: reboot your device again when it's done and wait up to 10 minutes.
And last but not least step 6: enjoy!!

There's nothing hard about rooting if you want to flash a custom ROM on your tab, 99.9% of the developers pre-root their ROM's so you dont even have to root it, so did pershoot.
Step 1: You start from zero: you have a gt-p7510 STOCK ROM on android 4.0.4, if not, flash the ics bootloader from droidbasement.com via odin in PDA slot.
Step 2: go to droidbasement.com, and it depends which android version you want to flash, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, or 4.2.2, let's say you want do flash android 4.2.2, download clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.4, flash it via odin in PDA slot and reboot your device.
Step 3: once you have cwm 6.0.3.4 flashed, connect your tablet to your pc and get the latest nightly version, YOU DON'T WANT TO USE EXPERIMENTAL BUILTS!! Since they were only ment for pure development and they could be very unstable. Download the latest version here http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi here and copy the file over from your computer to your device. DO NOT FORGET!
Step 4: reboot your device into recovery and do a factory reset, go to your 0 folder in recovery and flash the latest nightly built. ( a factory reset via cwm will not delete data on your SDcard

In Odin, there is a PDA button. Click it and select your file.

Get your tablet in download mode, it's the same way as you go to recovery, but then the other image on the right side, your tab will warn you that flashing other software may cause problems on your tab and blabla, just ignore that and push yes. Connect your tab to your pc and open odin, while it's connected, your pc will look for a driver i think. Once odin is opened, select PDA slot and search for the recovery safed on your computer, then hit the square box and make sure the box in front of'PDA SLOT' is check with a 'V', now it will flash cwm on your tablet
So i have to have odin on my pc?

Why do people always feel they have to run to customs roms? To me that is like saying to somebody who asks how to change a wheel on a car that first they have to remove the engine and put in a supercharged version instead with all the added unreliability that goes with it.... Custom roms are great but sometimes when answering a question the sledgehammer to crack a walnut approach is not the best..... if you are happy with stock rom to start with try rooting that first then if you want to go further try the custom approach
If you just want to root a stock firmware then all you have to do is install clockwork recovery using odin and flash a root zip through recovery.....
Root file is here for you and if you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44527963#post44527963 there is a good version of odin for your tab and drivers (if you haven't already installed them ) that I recently posted
As long as you are sure it is 7510 you have then recovery for pushing through odin is attached as well
I cant have root permissions after flashing CM 10.2 (I accidentally did full sd card data wipe with twrp 2.6.0.0 before) , now none of apps that request root works..I tried to flash older superuser.zip files but that didnt work (when trying to flash superUS v1.50 zip it always writes ''failed')'. Any solution to that?
Try installing SuperSu from play store, see if that works otherwise if that doesn't work go to android development stickies for this forum' download root.zip and try to root again through recovery

Ok.. being as you're new to this.. I advise you to watch QBKing's video on rooting this device, really any of his rooting vids will show you how to install odin/drivers and then to Odin the custom recovery...
If you feel unsure after watching the video or have any questions... just hit me back and I can walk ya through it..
Don't be worried if I don't see you're reply right away.. I'm on my way home from vaction and my service is less than spotty.. ( thanks sprint )
The video was enlightening to say the least. However the thread at ac syndicate is now closed. Sooooo im wondering if there is anywhere else i can find the necessary files

I have been trying for a whole day. I have used files either from other posts in xda or other sites. Still I could not root my 7510. I have finally successfully rooted the tablet with the files in this post.
Thanks a lot!

Glad it worked ! :good:
If anybody else needs the files to root or a link to qbking77 video....look at my FAQ thread....everything needed to root is there, minus the Sammy drivers( you can get them when you plug you're tab into the PC )...
Also...do yourself a favor and as soon as you root...go put infamous twrp recovery on the device..I have flashed every single ROM I've put on my device through this recovery...no problems yet...Lol.

Copy them where on the device?

Where do you copy the step 3 files? I can't even access the file directory on the tablet for more than 1-2 minutes before it resets. I flashed the step 2 files (no change), and having trouble knowing where to but the step 3 files and how to access the target directory. Could you clarify for me? Thanks.
BTW new user and can't "post"urls so I had to delete yours from the reply. sorry.

It shouldn't be a problem to find a tutorial here on XDA. Just use the search.
Generally it's very easy to root your device:
1. Download a Kernel (Siyah, Dorimanx, CF-Root)
2. Download Odin/Heimdall
3. Connect Phone, has to show up in ODIN
4. Flash Kernel in PDA Section
5. Rooted!
You shouldn't use other methods that don't use ODIN/Heimdall, if something goes wrong, it will be nearly impossible to fix it.

It should be perfect for your needs, although I don't recommend using Siyah Kernel with very new ROMs. If there's any incompatibility with your ROM (Stock Samsung works just fine), get Dorimanx which is based on Siyah and gets updates more frequently.
