Hi guys, I am new to Android and just got my GT 10.1, 3G+Wifi version. I done a few readings online and I really feel that rooting is way better to use the tab compared to non-rooted android devices. I would like to make sure of the steps before I start rooting and overclock it. If I have write or describe something wrong, I will appreciate it if you are able to guide me
So now my GT’s stock ROM is the original Honeycomb 3.1, without TouchWiz. I would like to root it first of all [Sorry I copy & paste, thanks original author!]
“How To: Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 [Easy Way]
Step1: Download the Zip file Here
Step2: From adb, run the following command (without quotes) “adb push allidoiswin.zip /sdcard/allidoiswin.zip”
Step3: Now punch in “adb reboot recovery”
Step4: Now simply flash the Zip file which you put via Adb, that’s it after running zip file your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be fully rooted now get superuser access.”
[It’s that easy right? Not the older long steps that I have to do with nvflash ADX Mode or such?]
After I have rooted my tab. I guess it is best to backup my stock ROM beforehand?
Step 1: Download and install free ROM Manager app from the Android Market
Step 2: Launch ROM Manger and tap “Backup Current ROM”.
[Question, where will my backup-ed ROM will be located?]
To overclock my GT 10.1 device
Step 1: Download the 1.4Ghz kernal
Step 2: Using ROM Manger reboot your device into ClockworkMod Recovery
Step 3: Tap “Install zip from /sdcard” and choose the zip file you just recently downloaded
Step 4: Reboot your device
Step 5: Purchase and download the setCPU Android app (only costs about the same as a cup of coffee)
Step 6: Using any free file manager app unzip and install setCPU
[I believe I will use openup set CPU, make it to 1.4Ghz and change the setting to “Performance”, my tab will run at 1.4Ghz. If I am to unroot and return the product, it will best be de-clock it by sliding the speed back to 1.0 Ghz. Just that easy, am I right?]
Last but not least, ROM, I believe is like an OS for Galaxy tab? I heard Overclock + Starburst ROM gives the tab really a huge boost?
From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197776"
Am I able to backup my apps (Android market + cracked ones) from Stock and re-install all of them back in the Starburst ROM?
As the installation stats that I will need to do a factory reset of my Tab.
I wonder if anything goes wrong, is there anyway to recover? I was/am an IOS user but super newbie to Android.
I appreciate all the help and advices you have.
Best regards, cheers & thanks!

Ok my friend, Im going to refer you here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 its the sticky in the android development section of this forum. I don't have the 3g device but it looks like you don't need to Odin flash clockwork mod recovery in order to flash .zip files (someone with a 3g tab can correct me on this if I'm wrong.) The root method that is outline in this thread is much easier than the way you have described using adb (you need to have the android SDK development platform installed to use the adb interface.) Make sure to visit this thread and follow the directions for the 3g p7500 model. Also ask questions there too that's what it's for.
I'm almost certain Starburst ROM is not available for the 3g tablet, there is a ROM called Broodcomb. All this info is also in the sticky thread I linked. If your going to use pershoots kernel to overclock keep in mind that kernels are experimental and overclcoking 'on our tab is not entirely necessary depending on your needs. Be sure to read through that kernel's thread and its entirety. (i know its a lot of reading but reading is your friend.)
You can back up your apps using Titanium backup an app that requires root. You can also back up your entire tab using the backup restore function in Clockwork Mod recovery.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
I was reading too but I missed the 3G and 4G version.

Good luck mate! Feel free to pm if you have questions. I'm no dev yet but I'd be glad to help in any way possible.
hie again. I tried to send you PM but I think I am unable to do so. Message didnt appear in 'Sent'. I paste what I was going to send to you again right here.
Thanks for offering help.
I am about to root my GT but I would like to re-assure with you
I am running on retail 3G version so I would have to follow the 3g version of rooting.
--------------------------------------------
RETAIL 3G
[GTP7500] >>> New!!!
1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
rooted already
For CWM
1. After rooting download and install Rom Manager from market.
2. open Rom Manager app and have it install clockwork Mod to your device, you should see your device listed within Rom manager.
3. Done.
----------------------------------------------
I am sorry but what's CWM?
I believe I can root my tab, download Titanium BackUp to backup all my apps?
I can backup my Stock rom using ROm manager I believe?
Oh and, after reading all over, I believe I can just OC my tab but stays on the same ROM?
Cheers and a million thanks!
CWM is ClockWorkMod Recovery

OK, yes flash the root.zip then install Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWR) via Rom manager app. Then reboot into recovery using the Rom manager app. This will allow you to make a backup of your entire tab manually ( i prefer to so it manualy rather than through rom mangager. Rebboot recovery and use the volume rocker to navigate up and down and the power button to select. (this is explained in detail in the sticky section of development thread) select backup and restore>backup This will make a flashable backup you can restore using the restore function the same way you made a backup. You flash zip files by choosing the option "install .zip from SD card."
Titanium backup is an app used to back up user apps so you can restore them should you ever have to wipe data.
You can overclock by installing a kernel (such as pershoots) that allows for you to scale up the processor. You do this with an app called SETCPU. YOu do not need a custom rom to flash this kernel.
Hope this helps.
If you’ve upgraded your Ace’s firmware to the official gingerbread update you might know that SuperOneClick rooting method doesn’t work anymore. Luckily there is another method involving installing a zip file from recovery which I’m going to explain now. This method is actually better since you don’t have to connect the ace to a computer. You can root and unroot on the fly. So in this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to root AND unroot you Samsung galaxy ace!
Caution: In my experience nothing has ever gone wrong with rooting. There is always that slight chance something can mess up. Use caution and only do this if you want to. I am not responsible if anything happens (but I really don’t think anything will happen if you do everything right) Also rooting voids your warranty but don’t worry, unrooting should give it back like nothing ever happened.!!
Download the two zip files I’ve attached below
How to Root the Galaxy Ace 2.3
1. Copy the Root.zip file (download below) into your sd card. You can even put it in a folder if you want.
2. Turn your phone off
3. Boot your phone into recovery mode. To do that, hold HOME+POWER buttons. When the screen turns on and you see the Samsung logo, let go of POWER but keep holding HOME. After the Galaxy Ace logo shows up and disappears, you should enter recovery mode. You can let go of HOME now.
4. Now in recovery mode, you can scroll up and down using the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons and select using the HOME button.
5. Scroll to the second option “apply update from sdcard” and press HOME to select.
6. Scroll to the Root.zip file and select it (if you put it in a folder, find and open that folder and then select Root.zip
7. After it’s done installing, select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to reboot
8. To check if your phone is rooted, go to you app drawer and look for an app called superuser with an icon of a pirate android with cross bones. If you see it, your phone is rooted.
Congrats! You’ve officially rooted you galaxy ace!!
Now what if you want to go back to unrooted for some reason , or just for the heck of it?? It’s easy. Very similar to rooting
How to Un-root the Ace 2.3:
1. Download unroot.zip (below) and put in sd card
2. Turn off the phone and boot into recovery (refer to step 3 above)
3. Install the unroot.zip (similar to step 5 and 6 above)
4. Restart phone (incase you’re THAT stupid, refer to step 7 above)
5. Look in the app drawer and if all went well, the superuser icon should no longer be there!!!
Note: I've tested the unroot.zip and it works for me. But just incase it still doesn't work you can use a root explorer and delete some files to unroot:-
-Open up market and download "ES File Explorer" (or if you have any other root explorer you can use that).
-Open ES files explorer, tap menu, go to settings, go to the "Root settings" section and enable "Root Explorer" and "Mount file system" (you have to be rooted to do this)
-go back and tap Favorites in the top left corner and select "/". Now go to system/app/ and find and delete "Superuser.apk". PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! dont delete anything other than the files I mention.
-go back to system/ and open the "xbin" folder and delete the following files and ONLY THESE FILES!!!:
1. busybox
2. sh
3. sqlite3
4. su
5. su-v1
6. su-v2
7. su-v3
-restart phone

Your ace is now un-rooted! It’s that simple. Hope I’ve helped! I’m not sure this method works for froyo, but there are plenty of tutorials for rooting froyo ace as well.
Note: the root and unroot zip files are not mine. Got them from some nice people on the internet and then renamed them!
I got the root.zip from http://androidforums.com/ace-all-things-root/328648-galaxy-ace-root-gingerbread-2-3-3-a.html ......... on this site the zip is originally named upd_1.zip
The unroot.zip is from here http://www.tutebox.com/3708/mobile/how-to-unroot-samsung-galaxy-ace-with-android-2-3-4-or-2-3-3/ ….. the zip was originally named update.zip
Thanks to the people who made these zips!!

Well i wasn't able to find any posts on rooting and unrooting the 2.3 update. most people just show rooting and then i had to google around for unrooting. So i just thought i'd make one. Had nothing better to do this weekend.
Unrooting issue
I've tried the unrooting tutorial by hubix. However, as I tried using root checker ver 3.2 by Joey Krim, there was a conflict. During my first test (advance mode), the output says
"Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Superuser.apk - com. noshufou. android. su - is NOT installed!
The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the Android Market
Standard su binary location:
/system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Standard su binary location:
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/su: Permission denied
SU binary not found in the system declared PATH"
Second time around and it displayed the same output. However, starting at the third trial and so on, the output says
"Congratulations! You have root access!
Superuser.apk - com. noshufou. android. su - is NOT installed!
The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the Android Market
Standard su binary location:
/system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Standard su binary location:
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Alternate su binary location:
/sbin/su: Permission denied
Root user id:
Root not properly returning its user id
Root group id:

It was weird though, I've got a feeling that something's wrong, either my unrooting process or the app itself. Any ideas?
new to flashing
hello,
-i recently upgraded my galaxy ace to gingerbread 2.3.5 will this (rooting tutorial) work with this firmware or should i revert it back to 2.3.4 so i could try rooting?
-i found out in samfirmware.com that they only have 2.3.4 updates, so does that mean my current firmware is no good?
Thank you very much. (1st post here).
unroot doesnt work for me
Rooted yay!
Thanks for the tutorial, i managed to root my Samsung Ace, the files with the bar-code was helpful too, not tried un-rooting yet so i cannot confirm this works
thanks!
Nice thank you.

hello people,
i tried uot kitchen and made a custom status bar. after i got it from the pickup page i extracted it. when i saw it there were a lot of files. so my question is that what do i flash using odin. the files are app, framework, META-INF, and settings.its probably one of the last two files.
Flash the zip in CWM recovery. Or you could push the apk files to your phone using adb or root explorer. Just make sure framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk go to /system/framework/ and systemui.apk goes to /system/app
Sent from my Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1)
which zip do i flash? in the settings file or the meta one? and if i use the second option do i have to erase the previous files of framework and the other one?
You flash the whole zip file that includes those folders and files. You don't extract it after downloading it.
Sent from my Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1)
when i tried to flash the whole zip file odin doesnt recognize it. so how am i supposed to flash that?
In the how to page on there website it says reboot into recovery. Wipe cache nd then flash it. Does the flash part mean the "apply update from SD card"? If so I tried it but it didn't work. So how am I supposed to make this work??????
You flash with CWM, not ODIN. They are totally different things. In CWM recovery you choose 'install zip from sd card' then browse to the zip file and select it.
Sent from my Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1)
How do you get in cwm recovery mode? Y pressing the volume up key and holding the power button right?? The options are reboot apply update from SD card factory reset and wipe cache. Which one do i do? When I tried the second option it didn't work.
hahah okay first thing you do is make shure you have the zip in one piece and in your internal sd card. Then completely turn off your device. then hold the vol up and power button at the same time. you should then be in cwm. what you do is choose install .zip from internal storage. go down to your uot file and select it. then select yes. it will install and then go back and back again and then choose reboot now. It should work. Thanks button.
You do have a kernel that has CWM recovery in it right? Either rumirands or Entropy's have CWM, but not the stock kernel.
Sent from my Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1)
Oh so that's the problem....after I download the entropy kernel I will try to do it.
I followed the instructions but after I flashed the zip and it said that it was successful nothing has changed. I rebooted and still nothing. I used the Galaxy update-binary. All I was flashing was a package with a custom battery and boot animation.
another problem has come up. when i put my player in download mode my laptop doesnt recognize it......
ok so i got to the cwm recovery mode and then did all the stuff and then iinstalled it. i then rebooted it but there was no change...is there anyway to make it work!!!????
(but the kernel worked out....so yea ^_^)
Help Please. It was all so so much simpler on the Huawei U8815.
My friend sent me his old GT-I9100 - I've gone wrong and am not experienced enough to dig myself out.
S2 GT- i9100
ICS 4.0.3
FW - XWLP7
I was trying to root the phone and after reading the various methods here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
[Guide][CWM6][Root][ICS] Universal proper rooting for most ICS phones - Now with CWM6
I opted to follow
Method 1 - Recommended
Push superuser + Busybox (Now v1.20.2 from Linus Yang) in recovery
Download attached recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip, for the i9100 Galaxy S2. This is the non touch version working with volume up/down keys and power button to select menu.
On phones affected by the superbrick bug, this cwm4 version is confirmed safe to wipe by Entropy512 Recognized Developer
I also attached the cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.zip, the last CWM touch v6.0.1.1 for the i9100 (no confirmation is given about the safety of the wipe in this version on affected phones, so do not wipe in CWM if you are not sure 100%).
For other phones, download the cwm image from here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Put the previously downloaded recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip file on your external sd card
Download the attached root file you want as per instructions above
I advise Chainfire SuperSU for 2 reasons: it lets you unroot from within superSU application and it lets you migrate to ChainsDD superuser if you like later
Copy the Root_XXX.zip file you downloaded to internal sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip or the cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.zip file you copied in previous step (this step gives a temporary flash that will disappear after reboot)
You get CWM recovery interface (this custom recovery is temporary, not permanent)
Inside CWM, select "install zip from sdcard". Then, select "choose zip from sdcard". Now, scroll down to the "Root_XXX.zip" file and hit power button to install it.
It will add SuperSU or Superuser last version apk to system/app, last superuser binary (su) to system/xbin and busybox last version to system/xbin, all with correct file permissions.
Reboot and you get permanent root + busybox installed on your stock kernel.
To unroot, do the above steps and replace the file Root_XXX.zip by the attached Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip. It will delete superuser, su and busybox files.
I had downloaded cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.zip to the external sd card.
I had downloaded Root_SuperSU.0.95-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip to the internal storage card.
I put the phone into stock recovery.
Following instructions I attempted to apply cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100 from the external card.
In the cwm 6.0.1.1 flash interface I was unable to find the exact option 'apply update from external storage'; but 2x checked at the CWM site. I think I've tried to restore an earlier image (no idea where its come from - perhaps GB ?) rather than apply cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.
I did not get round to applying Root_SuperSU.0.95-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip
I tried to back out of the stock recovery mode to revert to my original starting point. FAIL.
I now have a permanent black boot screen telling me 'Samsung GALAXY SII GT-I9100'. Informative but useless. I cannot seem to get back into recovery mode.

Any assistance/guidance gratefully received ( good thing I didnt eBay the Huawei). There is no data on the phone.
Thanks

Help Please. It was all so so much simpler on the Huawei U8815.
My friend sent me his old GT-I9100 - I've gone wrong and am not experienced enough to dig myself out.
S2 GT- i9100
ICS 4.0.3
FW - XWLP7
I was trying to root the phone and after reading the various methods here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
[Guide][CWM6][Root][ICS] Universal proper rooting for most ICS phones - Now with CWM6
I opted to follow
Method 1 - Recommended
Push superuser + Busybox (Now v1.20.2 from Linus Yang) in recovery
Download attached recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip, for the i9100 Galaxy S2. This is the non touch version working with volume up/down keys and power button to select menu.
On phones affected by the superbrick bug, this cwm4 version is confirmed safe to wipe by Entropy512 Recognized Developer
I also attached the cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.zip, the last CWM touch v6.0.1.1 for the i9100 (no confirmation is given about the safety of the wipe in this version on affected phones, so do not wipe in CWM if you are not sure 100%).
For other phones, download the cwm image from here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Put the previously downloaded recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip file on your external sd card
Download the attached root file you want as per instructions above
I advise Chainfire SuperSU for 2 reasons: it lets you unroot from within superSU application and it lets you migrate to ChainsDD superuser if you like later
Copy the Root_XXX.zip file you downloaded to internal sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power), and select "apply update from external storage". Now select the recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip or the cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.zip file you copied in previous step (this step gives a temporary flash that will disappear after reboot)
You get CWM recovery interface (this custom recovery is temporary, not permanent)
Inside CWM, select "install zip from sdcard". Then, select "choose zip from sdcard". Now, scroll down to the "Root_XXX.zip" file and hit power button to install it.
It will add SuperSU or Superuser last version apk to system/app, last superuser binary (su) to system/xbin and busybox last version to system/xbin, all with correct file permissions.
Reboot and you get permanent root + busybox installed on your stock kernel.
To unroot, do the above steps and replace the file Root_XXX.zip by the attached Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip. It will delete superuser, su and busybox files.
I had downloaded cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.zip to the external sd card.
I had downloaded Root_SuperSU.0.95-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip to the internal storage card.
I put the phone into stock recovery.
Following instructions I attempted to apply cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100 from the external card.
In the cwm 6.0.1.1 flash interface I was unable to find the exact option 'apply update from external storage'; but 2x checked at the CWM site. I think I've tried to restore an earlier image (no idea where its come from - perhaps GB ?) rather than apply cwm-touch-6.0.1.1-i9100.
I did not get round to applying Root_SuperSU.0.95-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip
I tried to back out of the stock recovery mode to revert to my original starting point. FAIL.
I now have a permanent black boot screen telling me 'Samsung GALAXY SII GT-I9100'. Informative but useless. I cannot seem to get back into recovery mode.

this looks like a soft brick.
if you can boot into recovery/download mode, then just flash another kernel

If you can find one from a your rom on this site you could push through adb.. but if you can't then no.. With no custom recovery or back up of that file there is no way..
Do you have a way of refreshing your stock rom? If so do that

Yep, your choices are custom recovery (which also requires you to unlock your bootloader), and you can make a flashable zip with the services.jar file you need or reflash the entire stock rom. Lesson learned: don't make changes to the system without having a custom recovery and a backup.
