Ok here it is,
Im reading and reading about the rooting.
I tryed to synch my tab with kies to root my tab following this THREAD but it doesnt work
So I posted about it and someone suggested me to check the LOOK HERE THREAD instead
I have a p7500 16gb 4G(well in fact 3G++) and wi-fi (p7500ruxkh4)
Im in canada (quebec province) and am with rogers
data plan, locked sim
honeycomb 3.1
kernel is 2.6.36.3
Now i want to use some apps like titanium backup and some others that need a rooted tab and thats it. I dont want to change kernel or rom or whatever else.
In the LOOK HERE THREAD, there is 2 different P7500 rooting method, one for the 3G and one for the 4G.
On my box and in my "task bar" its says 4G but for what i know, its more 3G++ than real 4G, So WICH one of the tuto do i follow ?
Also, at http://www.samfirmware.com/ i cant find the stock firmware for my p7500ruxkh4
That mean that if i do wrong, i wont be able to recover as brand new. Any clues of where to find it ?
Now about CMW and Odin, since i just want to root, do i have to dl thoses programs ?
Also in the UNROOT tutorial, you guys talk about the filesfordummies, but for what i read, this file is for the p7510 and not for my p7500 right?
So if i want to UNROOT my P7500, what are the proper steps to follow ?
I know, theses are probably noob questions but after searching on the net and this forum, I couldnt find any clear anwsers so i think i should ask you guys first instead of trying and brick my tab.
There is 5 bold/underline questions. I hope some of you have all the anwsers.
Thanks in advance for your help
1. IMPORTANT: in the look here thread use the root package for the 3G model
the 4G/LTE version will cause your system to bootloop
2. DO A NANDROID backup of your stock install -- then you have that to go back to.
3. Team Overcome have a great guide and package: stock for restore and clean purposes, CWM for root usage and a very nice custom rom: see here
4. if you want a custom kernel, there is one by Pershoot and the modification by rego here which plays nice with Overcome and matches your 7500 very well.

thanks but just like i stated before, all i want is to ROOT the tab.
I was wondering if you backed up your Stock Firmware? I am using some Europe firmware as of now because I was one of the unlucky who used the 4G unlock.

well, i rooted my tab and used rom manager to backup my actual rom. i dont know if it can help u.
another thing, i changed the hosts file in /system/etc/hosts to avoid ads in games or app.
since im not rally used to all this stuff, tell me if there is something i can do for you, and if so, ill help with pleasure
If you backed it up just after you rooted it should be okay, I should be able to load your Backup to get my rom back to normal and then Factory Reset to get it all cleaned off. Let me know if there is a way you can email or dropbox it to me in a pm.
It would be awesome!
check ur pm, if it work, just click thanks
Thanks alot. I'll click thanks and personally write a thank you note.
Just so you know you're likely to be asked to help other Canadians as well. As the firmware is apparently hard to come buy.

perhaps upload the base firmware in the version you have from your nandroid backup to multiupload or mediafire and then just post the link??

step 2..."2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip."
where can i get the stock recovery for the rogers version? or how can i extract and save the stock recovery from the tablet when i get it?

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. Yes the file worked. Although your stuff was backed up on it as well. I just wiped after the first startup.

check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19526549&postcount=321
you have to register to dl the p7500 firmware
dunno if its the one for canada, but you can send an email to the address refered in the post i gave you to ask the admin if he knows where to get it, and then, i guess you can tell us if you found it and where.
Here is the ROM That resulted from 754boy's Upload: Thank You 754boy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542456
**********************************************************
2.3.5 Milestone x2 nandroid wanted.
How to make one (all from the same cwr session):
1>Backup your current rom.
2>To protect yourself wipe data, cache & dalvik (adv menu) (lots of info in there)
3> then flash ReRecoveryDx2 not the cm7 ver (cuz u just wiped recovery also )
>Install zip from sd>choose zip from ext sd
4>then bu the nandroid for upload
5>and finally restore the 1st BU (step 1) Note this step will restore your recovery also cuz it's in the bu so you could skip 3 but if something goes wrong it's a precaution.
This method will ensure that none of your personal data will be uploaded-it will be just like an out of the box phone.
Note the dates to distinguish one from the other also the wiped one will be smaller. Look inside the folder data.img will be very small.
Please include the md5 from file info before zipping.
Zipping on a pc can cause problems . Zip it with Root Explorer if possible but ES file may be just as good and free.
You can create a RS free account for uploading. http://www.rapidshare.de/
Dead or Alive?
Sorry, I am of no help here, but I couldn't resist myself... Hopefully you'll get what you wanted from someone else!
Cheers! Don't hate me
Do you carry the burden of having been Melvined?
How about a 236 nandroid? Anyone willing to UL?

I'll do it ASAP.
Edit: Damn, didn't realize it would be almost a gig in size. Considering my slow ass upload, its gonna take a while.
Zip it first. But use your phone not pc. Will that be 236? I would prefer 235 as we do not have a 236 kernel for the Dx2.
I tried and tried to see if my carrier had a MX2 with 2.3.5 but all of their stock is 2.3.6 unfortunately. I am not sure how that works if they immediately takes the phones out and update them or what.
I'll try a 236 please.
It may work on a 235 kernel.

No I am still waiting. For a kind soul to UL. A 235 would be best.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20898852&postcount=35
Hint
In restoring a 235 bu while on our 235 kernel (& more a lot of network & radio) I may get a better final rom than our leaked ota. Since I'm not messing w/ the things that only a sbf does I should be able to restore back. Also any network issues could be restored by Qpst.
I am certainly NOT a dev but learning about hacking. ReRecovery, while there are many who are ignorant about it, was/is a fruitful project.
So I may end up w/ a polished nandroid for our phone!
Btw here is more of jbzcar's drama http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20908482&postcount=39
BUMP!
come on guys, where are all the Milestone X2 users? This guy wants a nandroid of your current 2.3.5/2.3.6 ud and he's even spelled out how to erase your data so that your data isn't compromised. He's wants to use it for the Droid X2 community and could really use your help in this. Thank you! contact the OP for any questions, nandroids, or whatever.
We have a 236 on the way thanks to 754boy. But a 235 will give us a match to our newest kernel. Thanks ztotherad.

you're absolutely welcome, you've helped me, even though it was just answering my random, ridiculous questions; so I wanted to help you. that's what this community is all about, we're like a "family" with more brothers then sisters, haha.
Well I know uploading can be a slow process..
..
Ok, finally done uploading. Here's the 2.3.6 Nandroid BU. I wiped it first and zipped it on my phone as requested.
http://www.mediafire.com/?557w6eopt0raypk
If anyone needs anything else, lemme know and I'll do what I can
All went well but, wifi error on our 235 kernel. I think all else works!
WE NEED A 235 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
THANK YOU 754BOY!
I wiped all 3 and flashed RR.dx2.
On it now. With 235\412.
Which has the larger kernel number 412 or 413?
I searched everywhere, but if its already been asked please kindly redirect me to that thread.
I bought a new ATT Note last week. As I am not a Noob, I did the root, CWM recovery and Sauram rom easily. But I made sure to choose the method which doesn't increase the flash counter.
Now I want to return the phone (for some reason), I mean cancel the contract. So I want to return to stock. Is there any way I can do that without increasing the flash counter?
I got it from Amazon wireless, So I don't know if they check it or not...
EDIT: I found a way to return to stock but I need rooted stock nandroid backup. Can anyone on ATT give me clean rooted stock nandroid backup please?
bump

Yea, thats the first thing you always do. Make a backup and store it some place safe. THEN start experimenting lol.
Ok, got the backup made, flashed Eclipse 2.2.1. I like this much better than stock. Last night I was tinkering with it and installed Supercharger v6 script on it. I ran several different options and then after restarting, it was constantly on roaming for data. It was fine before, I flashed my backup back onto it and re did everything. It is back to normal. Does anyone know why it would be on roaming. Thanks for being patient with a new guy. People on here are a great help

Not sure but you can always check your settings. I had a rom on one of mine a while back and it came as default to rain outside of my home area somehow. Also, try to update the PRL. Not sure how to do it with your carrier. Mine is *228(Alltel) .
Also, how did you do your back up? Im wanting a custom ROM on mine but I have no ABC if all foes bad and I'm not sure I could do a Nandroid.

You have to install BSR first. After that, power off your phone and plug it into your charger. It will take you to recovery so you can make a backup, install roms, etc...

Thanks soo much. Got a backup finally! Now to figure out how to install a custom ROM
2.3.6 Rom?
Skinzaholic:
I have a MX2 which belonged to my brother (a technologically inept moron who took the 2.3.6 update). I was finally able to gain root yesterday, and since then I've been looking for a custom rom to get rid of motoblur. Everything I've read about eclipse says that it's for 2.3.4/2.3.5 only, and will not work for 2.3.6. When you flashed it, was it fully functional for you?

All great advice. Just remember you bsr is trash when you wipe system OR data!!
Or even the rom fails to boot. Almost anything can upset bsr on the quaint Dx2. Or the Mx2 same phone ReRecovery works on it also.

Rerecovery has never worked for me.
Also all Roms work on 2.3.6. The down side is it is not downgradable. Check out the mx2 folder in my android crap folder. The link is in my signature. I kept the zips for several Roms in there. If the gapps aren't there Google for them.

Sorry to hear that. You need to "roll your own" see the latter portion of the 3rd post.

Hey Everyone,
I am brand new to Android and cannot thank these forums enough already on all the help I have had already in the one week I have been here. I hope one day I will be fluent enough to help out people as much as I have been helped.
My quick questions is, I am rooted and everything else is stock still. I have backed up on TWRP and Titanium. Let's say I want to try and flash a custom ROM. If i decide I want to go back to this untouched but rooted state, do I just have to run the backup from TWRP? Or is there a rom I have to flash to get back to the state I am in now?
Any help or clarification would be great. Thanks!
