I have the Galaxy Tab P1000L
I been trying to root it with Superoneclick and with DoomLord Zergrush, I keep failing all attempts, as I did research on this, I found out some info that says it is not possibe to root Gingerbread 2.3.6 (what I have) and that I need to dowgrade to 2.3.5 or to froyo (which is it?) , but SamMobile does not have Froyo available for download anymore...
So basically, I need to know how to root 2.3.6, main reason is I want to be able to change my Tab's HotSpot channel, and I read that this is only possible on a rooted GTab.
Thanks a lot for any help on this, I am new to Android, so trying to learn as much as I can.
( Secondary question: On a quick note, is it possible to upgrade to HoneyComb/is it worth it?)
Hope someone can help, I tried several things yesterday with no success, I had to stop for the day.
My P1000L is from Mexico Telcel with Gingerbread 2.3.6, I would like to downgrade to root, then either re-flash rooted firmware or move up to rooted Honeycomb if that is considered a better option, I am honestly not happy with Gingerbread WiFi performance at all, it wont auto connect to my home WiFi or hold a HotSpot sharing for long before it defaults to AndroidAP +default random password, bfore with Froyo I didnt have that problem. Just want to try custom firmware before I give u on it...
Thanks for any help on this.
Waited a few days but no answer, it must be too newb of a question, the fact is I am a newb at this, i'll try to do my 10 posts so I can do proper searches, this forum is huge.
At this point my better guess is to try downgrading to stock telcel P1000L firmware and then take it from there, GB 2.3.6 just not root friendly at all...
Still, if anybody can offer even a direction to go with this I will appreciate it very much...

Hi guys
Sorry but i am a noob to all this so have proberly stupid questions.
After flashing to a customer rom i went back to a stock t-mobile rom. Problem i now face is when i try to download apps from other companies that are not on the app store eg mfortune they are unable to detect the type of phone i am using so i get "sorry we do not currently support your device" despite being able to do so before rooting and flashing. Is there a way i can change this with the release of skyGo on android this month i want to be able to download it. As it will be only on the galaxy s2 and HTC phones for some time i dont really want to wait.
Any help please???
Did you do a full whipe? Adding some details like model number, the rom you flashed and the one you came from may get you some more useful results.
As for the skyGo app, it won't take more than a day for it to pop up as an APK somewhere on the net.
Hello

GsII Root
First you need to find the correct place your ROMS are located in this forum, you may have to search a bit for your Carrier Branded GsII. For example the GsII for Sprint is called the Epic 4G Touch. Dont get the wrong version for your phone or it could cause you problems as each carrier has a special hw version of each line of phones regardless if the manufacturer is the same.
You can user ODIN and load a stock-rooted ROM on the phone. Then use CWM once you get it rooted to load updates or new ROMS.
i got the international version, can you help me how i can root it ? its android 2.3.6
Use this link here to find your correct forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/#Samsung_Smartphones
I bought my S2 last January, and even that I didn't really care about rooting, I've came across these " Make the best out of your s2" articles and I decided to give rooting a shot.
I managed to root it and flash insecure kernel on it and everything was alright. However, I've heard that ICS4 can only be updated via KIES if I'm not on Root/insecure kernel, so I went ahead opened the application " S2 Root",and unrooted successfully. Nevertheless, I wasn't able to get rid of the kernel, which is perventing me from updating.
I've have searched on the forum, and I came across an article suppling stock roms, but it was all on multiupload, which is down since a while.
I'm aware that I can update to ICS4 using odin, but I'm more into the official way since I didn't really see a reason in rooting ( after I did ), well I'm certain it's because I'm just a casual user, who wants to call, or just play with some apps.
Some Info about my phone:
Samsung Galaxy Sll ( Of course )
JPKF3 Built!
I'd really appreciate if someone can link me to the above stock rom ( I've searched and find none), or just tell a method where I can remove this kernel in any possible way.
Much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

I am in the uk, this is the current spec of my phone...
Android version
2.2.2
Kernal version
2.6.32.9
software version
V10d-APR-27-2011
If any more info is needed then i will be happy to post it
OK, i am on the 3 network and have sent an email to LG regarding updating to 2.2.3 and they say that it is only available in the UK on the T-mobile network, I want to no if i can manually update to 2.2.3 that is compatible with the UK and my network. If not is there anyway to unlock my phone to make it compatible?
I have already rooted my phone using Gingerbreak
If i can update is there anywhere where i can get download links and a step by step guide that will work on my phone? i have been through many posts that explain things but i still am not to sure whether they will work with my phone, and if the ROM will work with my phone.
If i could get some advice or if someone could point me in the right direction of a post that will help me i would be most grateful!
Again i'm sorry if i am completely missing the obvious, i'm just a n00b in the process of learning.
Ive been stuck at the same point in the process for months
Thanks
Sorry!
I meant that i want to update to 2.3 gingerbread, or if anyone no's of any better ROM's that would be great, i generally use my phone for games, apps, music and browsing the internet so i just assumed that the official 2.3 ROM would be a better option but i am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me Kudo's

Hi
So I bought an International i9300 back in the summer and i've been using it Fido (Canada - doesnt support LTE yet)
and i rooted it somehow...dont know how and dont know why lol... and succeeded for whatever its worth... :good:
the last "COUPLE" of months,ive been getting these system update pop ups on my screen ALL the time!!
i've even tried to let my phone update itself but ,im guessing because of my root ,it makes my phone crash half way and forces me to reboot...
Btw,can my root be too old or is it,once its been done its done no matter how long ago you rooted?
anyways long story short,i desperately need to update my rom! the system update pop ups are super annoying and my phone is running on super old 4.0.4 :crying: and the battery SUUUUCKKKKS!!! anyways, im guessing i need a specific rom for an international i9300 running on FIDO? CAN ANYBODY HELP???!!!! IM DESPERATE!! LOL btw i might of been able to root it through ODIN at one point but don't be fooled i suck at these android things yet with a little help (hopefully) i might be able to fix this issue!
I attached a pic of my current situation...hope it help...
Hi,
You can update your rom following the instructions of this topic from "Intratech": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
Just follow the instructions, it is pretty simple.
I go to sammobile to get my stock roms (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/)
On the Intratech topic, you have anything you need to update your device.
Cheers
