Just got this device from a relative.
Some infos in the related forums seems to be outdated and the stiky posts got dead links for root files.
What I need is:
1) A working link to root tools
2) A way to identify the correct model to download the right rom (wifi, 3g, etc)
3) A brief guide (if the stiky guides in the galaxy tab 10.1 forum are outdated or refers to different root kits)
I'm experienced on modding my galaxy nexus, so you can skip noob advices.
Thanks.
Really need just a quick reply...
Why don't you take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458846? As for which model you have, what does it say in settings -> about? If its P7500, then it is the 3g variant. If it is the P7510, then it is the WiFi only variant.
Since you say you're not a noob, all you have to do is flash this cwm recovery in Odin and then flash the root.zip from that thread.

Hey, can someone point me to a tutorial on how to root my device? I have a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 4g lte 32gig (aka the sch-i905). Also, would it take off all my apps and such in the process?
Check this link for root files. Review the stickies for how to root, but use the files from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16993221#post16993221
It does wipe your system clean, I think. I haven't personally rooted, haven't really had the need to. But all the apps you bought with the Market can be re-installed again easily.
I think the rooting methods are the same for all. Which is why there is only 1 guide in general.
So, would I download the .zip file attached, drop it into my sd card, boot into recovery, install it, reboot, and viola I have root + SU?
btw my android version is 3.2

True story But yeah the methods are the same, just install it via recovery, I think it's fine via stock too, someone mentioned it in this ever so cluttered Q&A section
This file contains everything you need to restore your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830D from Kooodo Mobile to Stock Rom Version
Messed up my phone had a hard time finding the right files so now back up think these will make easier for everyone who needs them.
You can download it from mediafire.com/?768k23chd1nfs25
(The file is not password protected)
I have also include the file use to root phone afterwards in attachements along with ClockWork Mod 5 you do not need these unless your planning install a custom rom.
Wow. Thanks, that's amazing! Been looking for those files for a while, I might be restoring it then trading it in for an upgrade
Probably not though. I like having an extra device for testing purposes

It's MULTI-CSC, the koodo rom is within it, when installed, do *#272*Device IMEI# (Do *#06# for your IMEI Before) and choose KDO..It will reboot and reset to factory.

I just went on SamMobile, found the download link. However, when trying to download the file, the server fails to download, stating "Bad Gateway".
If somebody do have the file, I'd like to know a way to get it.

yes this is galaxy s2, its just i've upgraded the phone via kies and want to know if it does not matter and if i can use the usuall root ...
Flash siyah v6, philz or flash cwm + SU + busybox.
You can find any of those in any "root" thread, here, at xda.
Dear everyone,
i am getting in the next days the samsung galaxy s3 and i would like to prepare myself about what i should do to root the phone (and save the EFS folder).
I had from a colleague a samsung galaxy s2 which lost the IMEI and EFS folder, that's why i know that is crucial to save all. Plus i excercised on it to root the phone.
On the SG S2 i routed the phone loading the "philz-touch_3.00_i9100-signed.zip" with the phone and then applying the "Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip".
Phone was magically simple rooted and as simple as that, could be again unrooted.
Now, I am checking what to do for the samsung galaxy s3, but it seems that the procedure is not so simple and riskless anymore.
I read almost everywhere that the procedure is the one found on this website http://techverse.net/root-samsung-galaxy-s3-android-4-3-jellybean/
The procedure descripted asks me to use odin and from my experience with SG S2, this is there for reflashing the phone, or better to put a new rom in it. So if i did not understand wrong, with that procedure i basically put a new rom that is rooted. Am i right?
this is not really a good solution for me, as the unroot would not work good anymore.
Searching then deeper in the xda forum, i find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953
So this seems to be much more similar to the one i applied to my sg s2.
Now the question is, why if this is much more simple, is so less shown as a solution and result on google?
is that "philz_touch_xxx.zip" + "Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip" for rooting the SG S3 as easy as with the S2?
Sorry if this question might have been already posted and answered. i just could not find it in the forum.
Thank you in advance for your attention!

So you mean that can be easily rooted with the files "philz_touch_xxx.zip" + "Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip" ?
does it flash a new rom somehow or just makes the device rooted?

ok so basically i just have to press volume up, home, power on button, open the CMW in the sd ("philz_touch_xxx.zip"), then from there apply the zip file "Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip".
correct?
sorry that i ask over and over, but i cannot brick this phone
You can't install philz recovery from the stock recovery, you would need to flash the .tar version with odin -so you would be better to use CF autoroot as recommended in the sticky guides.

S2 and S3 are totally different, don't try anything that worked on the S2.

ok, so just to repeat, i install the custom recovery CMW, then i have to use odin to flash the rom?
this means that i will have a different rom from the original one? what changes actually? what information i need to know what is the original rom on the phone?
isn't there any way to root the phone keeping the original rom?

WOW thank you so much! I read it and now i have much clearer ideas.
SO: i will just root installing a custom recovery, but no room. perfect and clear like water.
Now i have a question that might have been answered in those threads but i just did not see it (or i would not ask i promise):
If i let the samsung galaxy S3 android upgrade to the latest android version through the official tool KIES, and THEN i make the root, so i have the latest android version, is it possible? If yes, can i use the same tools indicated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-understanding-basics-rooting-s3-gt-t2362743 ?
Thank you for the links!

AWESOME!! so that means also that if would ever come out any future android upgrade, in order to upgrade officially i should unroot the device, restore the stock recovery, update via kies and then re-root again. I think i got the whole thing!!
---
I was checking on the samsung galaxy S2 (previous phone) the CMW installed. There, in backup and restore, there is "backup" "restore" "delete"....
is that backup the NANDROID backup? if so, why isn't that clear like idiot prove (like me ) ?
Okay. Flash cf auto root in odin. Just go download mode on ur fone, then connect it to the pc. Then just flash the cfautoroot file in odin. No nid for cwm. Flash cwm AFTER u flash cfautoroot in odin.

ok you wrote really nice, but i don't understand what i should do after connecting it to the pc. You wrote "then just flash the cfautoroot file in odin", but isn't it what you wrote me at the beginning?
Instead of asking people to write out exactly what you want to do, just go and follow the guide -they are provided for that reason to help new users safely root etc.

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI GT-P7510, with 3.2 android. I want to upgrade it's android to android 4.0.4 (not accessible in my country) or to a good stable rom.
I tried for several days several 3 different guides, however all of them ask me to download some files, and in all of them the links are broken. I tried to find the files elsewhere however that didn't work either.
Can someone please send me a link to a complete working guide with all the needed files?
Thanks a lot!

Well, it couldn't be easier for you.
Download the official 4.0.4 rom from sammobile and flash it with Odin. There are a ton of guides in here if you need more information. But it's really very easy and almost fool proof.
