Because you require the driver files to let it be used as a mass storage, it's been mentioned before, I would suggest not using a company laptop that has it's user privileges restricted. A little searching and reading will come a long way
I understood you and thanks a lot but How can I install this drivers? Should I install it to my tab or my pc?

You need to enable MTP mode on the tablet for it to detect the tablet.
Settings-Storage-Top right corner will be 3 dots, Tap it and enable MTP mode.
I've a problem.. There isn't a choice is called 'Storage' on my tab

I just PM'd you but found my way back here...
In settings under storage I can only view what is using what and how much of what is being used. No other options are available from there.
Edit: missed the second question again... yes just got it the 29th I think, it is only $0.99 in the market right now 50% off. Seems to work great with only a couple settings programming errors like setting for starting in favorites starts me in latest but setting to start in PMs starts me in favorites (subscribed threads), I used XDA Premium but got a refund when 90% of links I tried failed and other things. Went to using tapatalk full version I got free from getjar, but it expired one morning and when searching why I found hd. Was happy to send .99 to xda. so far no problems with links or anything else. I did have to get used to the layout being different again, but it was worth it. Kinda ICS like I think in where to find things. Also free upgrade when ICS its officially released. can't beat that for.99 oh yeah a few other things if like, such as page numbers and easier access to post smiles, but still cool.
Sorry of topic....
Get back to installing drivers in your toaste.....uh PC.

Not that I'm knowledgeable about myself. I only own a wireless only tab and don't really know for sure what carrier lock means for certain. I would think that it means the company that provides the phone access to your tab, such as verizon, sprint, at&t, or whoever else it could be has locked your device. If you know who the carrier is someone might know how to unlock it, but sometimes they just cannot be unlocked at all. At least from the little I've read, thats my thinking.

But I don't understand how can they lock the download mode to not flash (import) anything into tab.
Sorry but they can. Even if you don't understand.

it's a god answer. Thank you..
Sorry for the short one liners Mod's don't like when the talk deviates and thread "ends up being a longer than it should be"
However that doesn't apply in the bedroom, If you know what I mean
ANYWAYS! yeh carrier locked tablets are those done by major telecom companies to avoid any other carrier being used on the tablet. Like a Verizon's tablet will only accept Verizon's SIM's (Sorry I'm not from UK/US to know that). Most lock it so that if ever you do break their wonderful "terms and conditions" and they revoke the tablet (<a year) from you, it's to ensure that it doesn't void the warranty of the tablet. Since rooting voids it.

Noob here,
I've looked and looked and haven't seen anything definitive. I have a Samsung GS II (I-777). Someone had rooted my phone for me a while back but now I want to un-root it. I only have access to Mac and have NO idea how to. Everything on here seems to be written in a different language lol. What's the easiest and most simplest way to do this? Sorry if this is repetitive. Thanks in advance!
Rooting is such an easy proccess. Looking at you, I would not recommend it doing by yourself. Rooting will not get you on any legal issue other than warranty cancelation. If you still insist look at the stickied threads in this forum. I myself would like to explain it, but I can't explain it better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
Not sure if a virtual machine of Windows would work but I would give that a try if your hell bent on un-rooting.
My question is why do you want to reverse a good thing?

What I meant was that rooting is easy to do. And nothing negatives comes out of it unless you want to get the phone back to store... Since it's a mac and he doesn't have much knowledge of rooting, just let it be.

Well, "looking at you" made me go Whaaaat??? myself. Odd snap judgement from reading one post, which was pretty well phrased from what I saw.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434020 which should help - and this thread says it should work with MacOS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432. You'll need to do some more searching and learning (start with the sticky at the top of the general forum). If you don't feel confident doing this, then don't. You really aren't going to gain anything by it unless you have a specific need. Or expand on what you're looking for and maybe we can help.
BTW if you don't use it, the difference between root and unrooted is zero AFAIK. Root just lets you do more, but it's still stock i777 if that's all "someone" did.
Well, the thing is, the root that this person did (not me lol) has disabled my wifi. It's the ZedomaxStockKernel. I did some research on this and it seems that using this method renders the wifi useless. I clearly don't know what I'm doing but will read more in regards to this. Again, I've had the phone rooted for about a month now and I haven't done anything different. (Maybe because I don't know how) I wouldn't mind leaving it rooted but if I could fix the wifi issue, that would be great and then maybe I can learn further about this whole root thing. Reading through the forums though, most people rooting have Windows and not Macos. Which kind of leaves me feeling alone lol

Go into the siyah thread (you can do it on your phone). Download the ATT tar file. Open up mobile odin, select kernel. It will open a window to find your kernel. If you download from the xda app it will be in tapatalk_downloads I think. Select siyah_2.1.13 (or whatever it is). Go down to the bottom where it says flash firmware, hit it. If done correctly, the phone will reboot and everything will be awesome
I'll keep an eye on this thread tonight in case you have further questions.
Forgot to mention, the siyah thread is here in the i777 forum, more specifically look in the development section. The download link is in the first post.

Okay I understood almost everything you wrote! Let me start by saying thank you! Couple of questions so I don't screw something up!
1. Should I download the .tar file directly to my phone? Would that be easiest?
2. I can't seem to find the thread in the development section, care to spoon feed me?
Lastly, when I googled Siyah it gave my a website but I don't know if that's reliable or not.
Thanks!!
Found it!! Will try today and update!

EDIT... Just noticed your other thread asking the same thing. So I can understand the posts you got here, but since that was also one of the threads where I thought the answer was, your search for qualified assistance may require a bit more effort and politeness on your part, even if others are being rude.
Honestly, if you do a search and read a bit, like the forum rules say to do, before posting, you will find that this has been asked and well answered in another thread where name calling wasn't resorted to. Sorry I don't remember the answer, but I think it was just like flashing any other tab. Don't take that as a legit answer though because my memory fails often. I do know I have seen this asked and answered several other times though.
So for the best results do a search. Really, it works.

Why thank you good sir Benz
Then again, recovery mode has always been the straightforward thing to do, it's just timing, I did a little research on I/O edition to check for differences and it seems there is not much that's different, the recovery kickup is the same, Vol Down+ Power {When the device is off}, Then again, you shouldn't have USB plugged in when you do it as it conflicts with the key combo.
The thread I linked you describes the same method for kicking it into recovery, he is also an owner of an I/O series, I wish I had one to make it easier but sadly I can't see where your issue lies, but I am willing to stick by till you get this done right, Hope that helps.
Fitz
Thank u guys I really appreciate it..I tried the power + volume key with/without USB plugged in and all that pops up is the downloading mode and USB icon..like I said I've had many Samsung phones and never had a problem lol but I'll update u guys n thanks for the support

Not to sound mean... But if you are asking about basic stuff, you might want to:
- Read some threads before you start flashing
- use the search function
- follow the thread instructions following the above two suggestions.
Try to troubleshoot yourself first... All your issues are solvable by searching.

I agree with this POV.
If someone is having trouble simply installing/updating CWM, they absolutely need to do more reading, or chances are they will badly mess up their phone.
Using ODIN and installing CWM are rooting 101, and I would advise any SGS3 user to make sure they know these 2 bits of software inside and out, before jumping into CM9/CM10, as both are not fully stable, and will require additional knowledge to get them working correctly, if it is yet possible given the current build states of each.
If CWM installs, or ODIN flashes are not pieces of cake for you, you should probably pick a different ROM until they are.
Yes we all started somewhere, but a big tip from experienced users to noobs, is to learn how to swim, before jumping in the deep end. And CM9/CM10 is definitely the "deep end" of the Android pool, at least until the builds reach RC status, if not at least beta, as things wont work, or are yet to come upstream.
It takes as much time to flame as it does to post helpful advice. How do you want to be remembered?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Telling some one that cant swim, how to jump into the deep end, is not my idea of "helpful" advice.
Sometimes the "helpful" advice is.. "you are not ready yet"
It may not be what the person wanting to jump into the deep end wants to hear, but it may save their phone, until they know what they need to, to get where they want to be.

Thanks man...:good:
I know the sense of panic you have when you trash your phone, here's hoping some users understand that by searching first, almost 98% of the answers are out there.
That being said, I am willing to help out, given what I know, but I am willing to bet there are posts already done that lay it out there, step by step, on how to recover from this...???
Again, to anyone seeing this, not trying to be a **** here, but the search function really has tremendous value when looking, don't just try one term, use several variants of terms when searching. I bet you'll find something, heck..you may find out something off your first search topic that'll get you there better or quicker.
OP ...have you looked at this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736476
Well I'm yet to find a detailed guide, I haven't been able to find one - I'm not going to do something based off a bad or poorly written guide, I am not going to risk breaking my new galaxy s3. I am yet to find a guide that suits my standard of usage; it would be nice for someone to point one out to me instead of making a debate oh whether I can or can not do something - please don't consdend me.

I take it you have the SGS3 for AT&T, correct?
What exactly do you need a guide for, upgrading CWM?
I take you are rooted, what version of CWM do you have, and what version are you trying to upgrade to?
What version & build of CM are you trying to install, the file name should give the specifics?
Does the ODIN count matter to you?
okay download CWM for your phone from :http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Rename it to recovery.img , and copy the file to your phone's internal /sdcard
Grab android terminal emulator from the play store and run the same commands starting with su in the box below.
just type: su
then
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Hello!
I am in need of assistance. My friends' Galaxy S2 had to be sent to Samsung to be repaired and came back running 4.0.3, the kicker is that the 'check for updates' option is not present in the 'about phone' menu
Help.

Then try via Kies or flash a custom rom.

So your first step was to create a topic rather then simply connecting and checking for update?

Right, before you get on you tech high-horse, I'm trying to help a friend who I see once a week. Sorry for being a friend and going to (in my opinion) the best place for advice in this field. Follow Wheaton's Law - don't be a ****
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Iucidium you've got 622 posts and 70 thanks, that tells me you both know plenty about android to fix this by yourself and that you make a lot of really **** posts. Asking you not to make stupid threads is not being on a "tech high-horse" as you so quaintly put it, it's to deter lazy people like you from posting any old rubbish questions which anyone with two brain cells could easily work out. Clearly it's not working. Clearly you don't know what a forum is either, so I'll help you out - it's a place where ideas are exchanged. It's most certainely not a place where you can come demanding information from people to make up for your simultaneous lack of intelligence and lack of self confidence to follow through on your ideas.
It's very admirable you're trying to help a friend and there is no need to apoligize for it, but I'm sure he (like the rest of XDA users) would be much happier if you'd not use XDA as your personal answer machine, but use - wait for it - your brain for that!
I guess I broken Wheaton's Law (the law that doesn't really exist, using an internet meme to try and defend yourself is like using a chocolate fireguard in a blaze).
Well said.
Now, he's really gonna update via kies?

After flashing one of the LS8-based ROMs (can't recall which one exactly), I remember seeing an option to "activate software updates". Try looking for the Software Update in the App drawer -- is it there, can you launch it?
On an unrelated topic -- what is it with all the recent threads about something happening with people's friends all of a sudden? "My friend did something, need help"... "My friend's phone is screwed up"... "My friend damaged my phone"... Is it just me, or what?
they don't wanna be called noobz.

I had 4.1.1 unlocked and rooted. I reverted back to stock and locked bootloader updated to 4.1.2 and had a bootloop. I ran the no you verizon and it fixed the bootloop but it won't give me root or unlock my bootloader. I would upload my pastebin but limited due to little posts.

for those having problems with roms pre vramc3 and are having boot loop problems I would recommend getting a usb jig on eBay or Amazon or making one.
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-make-a-usb-jig-for-your-galaxy-s2/
It'll save you a ton of time dealing with those finicky pit files and spending hours on Odin.
Then you can download whatever stock Rom and flash it with Odin!

You'll still have to use Odin and the pit files, all it does is boot your phone into Download Mode when you can't or have issues doing so.

You can always get around the url posting by doing something like wwwDOTgoogleDOTcom or something similar.

Dude please stop telling people about JTags and JIGs on eBay if their phone can boot then there is a 99.9% chance that there is a fix or workaround for what they're experiencing...usually people are not explaining the problem correctly but even still this guy said his phone is working and he is up and running....straight to the point just please stop telling people they need to buy extra stuff without first trying to help them or fully understanding what exactly the problem is that theyre experiencing....i know you want to help which in my opinion is fantastic but even if you dont know the answer try and look it up for them or direct them in the right place for further assistence before telling them they need to buy something which in reality is just not the case

Its fine man it really is....most of the time if you can AT THE VERY LEAST boot your phone into download mode then you should be okay and there is probably a fix but you just have to find it....keep helping people man even just pointing someone in the right direction is a much much much better way to go about helping than telling someone to buy something that is very unnecessary.... Keep it up though man you'll be fine just please stop with the JTags and JIGs lol
So I reverted my bootloader back to 4.1.1 unlocked and rooted it again. Updated my radio to 4.1.2 now I feel like I have my phone again.
