where do i get the heimdall to to flsh the recovery?
Use Mobile Odin attached to the first post in this thread, and download the needed extra files from the post below (read the first post).
Or buy Mobile Odin Pro from Play.
I heard flashing via heimdall will increase flash counter, which will be an issue if sending it for servicing, that why I prefer cwm or pc odin.

Hi friends, has anybody tried rooting via Gingerbreak or ZergRush method? Is it safe? Why is this not working on SGR?

Samsung Galaxy R is not such a widely used phone (can't seem to figure out why), hence, the low compatibility rate.
and i guess there is no other way to Root or Unroot your phone (just yet) without flashing via Odin. However no one's stopping you from trying other methods... Just be on the safe side and keep backups of everything.
P.S. : You won't void your warranty if you flash Stock Firmware or the CWM via Odin... And anything done by the CWM doesn't increase your custom counter so you are good to go for the warranty...
Thank you mate..... But, If I flash CWM.... will I be able to get back to stock recovery.... If yes... Could you give me a link for such guide.....

You get back stock recovery when you re-flash your fw via odin. If you don't want to reflash the whole fw, just take a recovery.img (or recovery.bin - I don't remember) from .tar package and create a separate .tar file for it -> and flash via odin.

Just flash the Stock ROM. It will revert back everything.
I've tried searching and just can't seem to find a definitive answer. I'm wondering if when you do the root method using ODIN (This one) if it erases all the data on the tablet or not?
The reason I'm asking is I've got a tablet for my son and I would like to try and back up some of his save games off my tablet and transfer them to his new (nook color already rooted) so he doesn't have to start over from scratch. I'd probably like to do this using Titanium Backup which I can figure out myself, but I just don't want to try the rooting method without having at least a little hope that my files won't be erased.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that might be the case...
Does anyone have any ideas on another way I can back up the game saves without having root? Or better - I saw on the Note 10.1 forums that they've got a way to achieve root by just flashing a root-injected stock rom through the stock recovery. Is something like that possible with our tablets?
(For reference this is the posts/pages I'm referring to about the note 10.1 root method where they don't lose apps, etc: Here and Here)

As i think so he played the game in stock rom non rooted then you want to root tab to backup
So you could flash via odin the root files and no erase will be done as total erase by odin occur only when you flash a full stock firmware not the root files

Sorry I am so late replying back to this thread. College stuff came up which I needed to focus on.
I'm confused on the exact process I need to follow to flash only the Root files through ODIN. The instructions in that tutorial are for flashing the "CWM Root for Tab2 10.1" files through ClockworkMod Recovery. I've not had any experience with flashing things through ODIN and I'm not sure what I need to do to make sure that happens correctly. Does ODIN support flashing just root files like this (even if it looks like they are designed for CWM)? I was under the impression that if it was designed for CWM then it must be flashed using CWM.
-- Zeustopher
Does anyone have any further insight into flashing just the root files through ODIN and not the recovery? I just want to make absolute sure that I know what I'm doing before I give it a try.
Thanks,
-- Zeustopher
As a general rule, .tar files are for odin and. zip files for CWM. You can use my guide (link in signature) to root as it's a bit more detailed.

Thanks. I'll go give them a shot. It is good to see that simply doing the rooting won't wipe all my data.

Firstly If flashing the same rom [yes I am talking about the whole firmware package not just root files] It won't wipe your data partition.
I've experienced it myself.
I've flashed the whole stock firmware downloaded from sammobile.com to the base stock firmware but it didn't wipe my internal memory.
My apps, contacts and messages were intact.
but having a backup is advised.

Just in case you wish to have root without leaving your stock recovery then try CF_Auto_root.tar, you have your stock recovery with you.

Rooting means pushing su libraries into system directories which is not possible with odin. There these custom recoveries come handy.
since root adb is accessable using these recoveries, they can easily install root into your device.
A healthy advice: Since you flash your device using odin [the only way... yet] for rooting. It will hit the flash counter in your device. use triangle away app from play store to remove it and get it to 0 so that you have your warranty with you. also remove your root and custom recovery before going to a service center..
Flashin tru odin won't remove your data..
it'll just write over the "data" thats included in the rom
if u use odin just to root..
it well just push root to system/app and /xbin or bin folder..
so u wont loose anything
I rooted my friends tablet gt-p5113 with 4.0.4. I used a different work around method to get the root to stick. I got clock work on but I can't seem to flash any roms on his tablet. I tried using 3 different roms already and I keep getting the same message with Andy on his back and his front door open with a red triangle saying can not open package or some thing along those lines. Any ideas?
I think flash stock firmware from for example www.samfirmware.com then begin again from the beginning !!!
When use a root file next time via odin untick auto reboot then reboot manual vol up+power then if question as fix recovery say yes

I'm kind of at loss. Would that mean that I would have to down grade to the 4.0.3. firmware?
The Tablet is already rooted. Using the method that you listed and using the latest clockwork mod file.
So may be try flashing another version of cwm as 6.0.1.0 or 6.0.1.2 or so via odin for example and make sure you are flashing right firmwares for your device specific model number
Make sure you have a proper root via app like root check basic and install supersu from market
Put the firmware in both internal and external sd and try flashing from both, may be one of them will work

I did install su. That's how I know I rooted it right. I'll try reflashing an updated firmware. Thanks for the help

Providing more info can get you better results, like rom /link, cwm version, procedures, this way others can help you diagnose your problem. A screen shot of"about tablet" is also very helpful.

Is there a root injected stock ROM available for 8013 UEALI3?
(without any other tweaks... just root injected stock)
I have run out of space on my 16GB 8013, and only want to root so that I can use link2Sd to move app data to external sd card.
I did find root injected ROM for UEALGB on 8013 in below link, but I have UEALI3 version of firmware.

Also, is there any other legit (without root) way to move apps to SD?
I have already tried adb shell pm set-install-location 2. it does not enable move to sd card option in our 8013 tablet.

Use this method you mention above. Install mobile odin after flashing. Download your current firmware from sammobile. Use mobile odin to flash the firmware you downloaded from sammobile, ensure you select inject root in the settings in mobile odin.
This will give you your stock firmware with root injected.

Edited for clarity.
So odin is able to inject root in an untouched image from Samsung? I was under the impression that you have to inject the root in the image first (not sure how to do that) and after that use odin to flash the injected firmware.

Mobile odin can do this. You'll find it in the play store.

Yes flash UEALGB with odin. Once this has been flashed, boot up, install mobile odin and flash your current firmware with the everroot option on.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I'll have to dig around a little to see if it's doable in win 8, not sure if the drivers are the same.

I rooted my SCH-I925 using iroot and I want to flash another ROM, but I haven't been able to install a custom recovery. All attempts to install either TWRP or CWM via Odin have resulted in a failed install. Can someone provide some guidance on alternatives to get this accomplished, or if it can even be accomplished? Thanks.
