Hi, i am new here. I've had a galaxy tab 10.1 since last year but i never root it because i was a bit scared about that. i decided to root it now and follow the steps of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
but when i run odin and choose the recovery .md5 and hit start it doesnt complete it get stuck in recovery.img and after that i had to do a manual reset of the tab. I have done that like 3 times now and i want to know if anyone has a solution for that.

Rooting HC
@jc
Have you the correct Samsung Drivers? Also all the steps must be followed exactly one by one without any shortcut.
You could also try rename the .tar.md5 to only .tar as I read elsewhere that this worked in some case.
Hope this helps

Try re-downloading the files
I am going to try that tonight. Thanks guys i will let you know
You can root with Stock recovery, no need to flash one
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
yeah i downloaded the drivers, and even change the extension name. but odin still freezes in recovery.img. i bought my tab last august in the usa. It's HC 3.2 with touchwiz and the serial number is R63B632003L. i don´t know if there is another samsung driver or another version of odin for that. I'd really like to root my tab. thanks
First thing you should know is what model of the tab 10.1 you have. There are several variations. Setting, about, model number.

I am trying to upgrade my samsung galaxy S with kies.
But it stuck when "preparing firmware upgrade components..."
after that nothing happends for hours.
Can someone help me with this?
Kies Mini is junk, IMO. I recommend scouring the forums for your preferred update files (PIT, TAR, and the proper Odin version).
Also, if you want help with this you'll need to post more information -- like your model of phone, carrier, etc.
Seriously, I've been using Odin 3 v1.85 with a lot of success. I had quite a bit of trouble with all the "one-key" rooting programs, tried Odin and got everything working the first time... Well... the first time after switching out my cable. (don't use the stock USB cable for flashing. Pop the extra cash for a decent name brand cable)
Also, don't freak out if you can't get the phone working properly after messing it up with Kies. As long as you can get the "download mode" up and running, you should be able to flash with Odin and fix everything.

I like to update with KIES because I need to put the phone on service so I need original ROM.
First I uploaded android 2.1 from samfirmware and can't upgdare, after I put android 2.2 and it is the same.. even If I use spooffw program.
Phone is Samsung galaxy S and I need version of program with MOT.
I tryed to upgrade in 2 computers but always is the same
"preparing firmware upgrade components..."
after that nothing happends
what if you try updating to 2.3.3 and then use spoof fw to set it to MOT?
I took a look at samfirmware, i'm not sure if there's the right version.
did you make a backup of your stock rom, after having rooted?

I am almost soure that samfirmware doesn't have right version.
I didn't make backup. My friend have the same phone can I backup his ROM and restore on my phone?
I use spooffw and already set it to MOT but stil can't upgrade.
does he have a stock phone? nothing done yet? which android version!
if it is below or equal 2.2.1 u should be able to root it with superoneclick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
then you can install rom manager from market, make a backup of his rom, and restore it on your phone.
i think this could work
I think it is below 2.2.1
I will check and try.
Is there a way that people see on service that I have rooted my phone before?
If you manage to unroot it and flash stock kernel and rom...which your friend should have, they won't!

What about some counter which count installed ROMS
Never heard about that before.
maybe. You should google that
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it exist only on sgs2 but it's easy to reset using the USB dongle.
To counter-act the counter, look on Ebay for a Samsung Galaxy "Jig". Make sure your model is specifically supported. It will reset the ROM counter to 0 and put the phone into download mode. (And it will restore almost any kind of bricked Galaxy S)
Please board members, correct me if I'm wrong, but using Odin vs Kies doesn't affect the ROM install. That is to say, a tech looking at the phone's data files couldn't tell if it was Odin or Kies that was used for the flash.
Look up your exact phone in the forums, go to the development subsection, look for a subject heading that says "[Odin]" and "[Stock]" that doesn't also have other ROM modifications such as "[rooted]" or [ext4].
Hello Everyone,
Firstly, I need to say that as a previous owner of an original droid, I was able to root it with no problems on the first go around. However, as a new owner of a Samsung Galaxy SII I am finding root a real challenge.
I have no problems getting into download mode and so on....I have successfully placed the clockworks rom onto the phone with again no problems and I have all the drivers working properly. I guess this is where I am obviously an idiot....because I start the Super One Click and it gets to Step 6 and then stops. I unplug the USB....click the debugg off and then back on and reconnect my USB like directed by many posters. However, in my case it will not continue on and finish the install.....
I reboot and do get the small triangle on boot up ( not that I care too much about that really...do have a jig on order however) but I simply can't seem to get it to root.
Again I have followed all the posts and guides for unplugging, unchecking and rechecking the debugging and then plug back in the USB and still nothing.
Phone works fine....everything works...love the phone...just seems puzzling to me. I have Odin 1.82, I have SuperOneClick 2.1.1 and like I said installed the .tar fine to the phone with no worries....just cant get it to root.
Any advice?
"....I have successfully placed the clockworks rom onto the phone with again "
Do you mean kernel with clockwork recovery ? Because if so,the kernel suppoused to be rooted already.
I firs downloaded the below file, Then downloaded ODIN 1.82 and all associated samsung drivers. I also downloaded SuperOneClick 2.1.1.
The instructions were to load the .tar file on first which I did successfully. When I go to the final step and use SuperOneClick to ROOT the phone is where the problems happens. I can't get past step 6 and unchecking and rechecking the debugging box at step 6 does not help.
SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar
Try an alternative way I used the one described on the CyanogenMod-wiki. Worked like a charm for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
That tar file says its for sgh- I777
Where did you get it from?
I'm not familiar with this method,i gues because it's AT&T device ?
I believe I downloaded it from this site. It was part of a guide to rooting the Galaxy S2 phone. It had all the files for download in links at the very top of the page but to be honest I have looked at so many pages now I can't remember where I got it on here.

Man,and again this method for AT&T Galaxy only... if you have it so it's different thread in the forum.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Oh dear, what model of the Samsung Galaxy S II are you using? If it's the GT-i9100(the international model) then you've used the wrong .tar file. Obviously the "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar" file is for the AT&T S II.
Do pay close attention to the model number.
I have read many posts by users requesting a copy of the shipped ROM for Verizon's Galaxy Tab 10.1. Since I have a totally stock unit I was thinking perhaps I could pull a copy of the ROM for distribution as a backup? I know how to flash ROMs, and all, but have never made a backup in this fashion.
If it can be done, could someone give specific direction on how to do it? I think it'd help the community out greatly.
Thanks

Get odin 1.85 (see tut in dev forum on how to "root"), install recovery (clockwork).
Get into recovery, perform a backup. Export the backup (with USB). You got a nandroid.
Find a programmer to extract a stock out of the.img files

I ran ODIN3 1.85 as administrator, pointed PDA to the recovery.md5 file, connected my Tab in download mode, waited for "Connected! Press the [Start] of Odin3!" and pressed Start. I've been waiting for about 5 minutes and it appears to be doing nothing.
After a 2nd attempt Odin3 appears to have successfully installed "recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5", but when I boot into recovery I still have the stock Android system recovery :?
wow. you had me worried. you dont reboot when flashing but thanksfuly everything is ok.
Here actually. They just need to stumble upon it. The thing is you'd nee dsomeone whos familier with your stock ..
I didn't hear of it yet, 905 is 10.1? always knew 10.1 were 7500, 7510, etc ...
Which android is that? honeycomb?
I keep seeing everyone mention "P7500" and "P7510" but those model numbers appear nowhere on my device. I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1, and yes it has Honeycomb 3.1. It is exactly like the ones they'd sell at Best Buy, for example, but includes Verizon 4G.
Wow, after MUCH searching I may have found a link to the stock ROM for the Verizon 10.1!

I have a Galaxy Note i717 from AT&T that I rooted. Worked great.
Yesterday I upgraded to ICS via Kies. Worked great.
Then I proceeded to root it again using odin.
Unfortunately even after all the things done it now will not boot up at all.
All I get is the S a m s u n g logo. I can put it into boot mode and the computer see's it but nothing more.
If anyone can point me to any rom/bootloader/ etc. I would be most grateful.
Or just let me know what to do and where to get roms. I did search and there are many for the i700.
I guess I need a bootloader and rom right?
Sorry folks. Point me somewhere else will have to get another phone.
T h a n k s ...
Others would tell you to look in the dev section for the stock rom (its usually called something like "in case of brick) I've had issues issues getting it to work but Im certain it was user error as to why it didn't work for me. But another option that I think could work would be to get your phone into download mode and run the ics upgrade thru kies again. You'll lose everything in your phone but I think it'll get your phone up and running again. But before you do any other that...did you make a nandroid back of? Or have you downloaded any roms to your phone because if you did you can just enter cwm and reflash any rom you may have or just flash your backup, backups are so important when doing these sort of things, saves a lot of head aches.
Edit: after reading your post again it says your phone messed up after rooting, try and re run the root file thru Odin, I kinda sorta remember reading something similar to this were people had issue trying to root. I'll try and find the thread.

this happened due to rooting with the Gingerbread method...so using Nash reply run/reinstall your Official ICS...and to root....
see My Links in red in my signature...go the GNote Super page....you should see what is being used to root the Official ICS...I used it and lots others, there prob more methods out there, but I found this is the easiest and more proven method....
Cant miss the info on GNote page regarding Rooting.
so to recap...since your believe you have bricked your phone...
use the method Nash replied to you with...put into download mode....run the official ics, you will need the model, serial number of your phone...
let us know how it works out for you...

And once you're rooted and all fixed up, enter cwm and create a backup. These are great because no matter what you do to your phone as long as you can enter cwm you'll always be able to fix your phone via backup.

I wanted to mention, I'm not sure how you updated thru kies originally (legit update or emergency update) the method you'll be using this time (if you choose to fix thru kies) is the more or less emergency method. I wanted to mention this because when your in download mode and connect your phone to your PC and run kies, kies will try to connect to your device but will time out over time...it took me 2 days of Q and A before I realized kies won't connect with phone in download mode, but that's OK. Once phone is connected click tools/firmware upgrade and initialization, and as bigjoe said youll than need to input model and serial numbers (all caps) than click OK. You'll have a few prompts afterwards but yo basically on your way to a running phone.

Brick = nothing at all happening on phone.
Samsung logo = bad flash (corrupt file used)
Brick can sometimes be revived with a JTAG device.
Samsung logo means re download file, re read instructions and relevent thread, and redo your work.
Don't be too anxious -you will fix it.
I suggest using Kies upgrade > emerency firmware method. Download mode is the key.

Thanks all for the replies.
I was able to go to DEV Section and get the full AT&T ICS Rom. Used ODIN to get it back to factory ICS.
Then (with great care ) re-rooted it using ICS root stuff. I have it all in case anyone else needs this route. Else follow instructions above.
Thanks all. I think for now ICS is where this will stay. In fact Gingerbread was good enough except for not being able to use Chrome.

Hi,
I've spend a lot of time to root my device but nothing seems to work. I've used Odin 1.85 to upload recovery.tar.md5 and other files to boot in recoverymode for rooting but the screen is rolling so i can't read and use the options on the screen. I've managed to go to the unrooted state to try again but no success.
I've read the forum of xda but the suggestions mentioned didn't work and google also didn't give me the solution.
Another problem is that the tablet has no sd-card slot.
Is there still a way to root the device?
Grtz, User

Don't panic. You need to flash the US bootloader to fix the rolling screen. A Google search or a thorough search here will help you find the file you need.
After you flash the US bootloader you can go ahead and root your device without issues.
Thanks for your reply Olivier, it's working now but not with the US bootloader (still rolling screen) but with twrp303-20170120-p4.tar.md5.
Just tried it and with success! Im pleased with it.
