[Q] [VZW i815] Possible to root if starting point is *STOCK OTA ICS*? - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think I may be the one of the few people anywhere who may be in this situation, but thanks to help from Electron and others, my VZW Tab 7.7 actually followed the OTA progression of FD01 -> FH01 -> LP10 to go from a stock-but-rooted HC to a stock non-root ICS.
While I first thought this may be a fortunate turn of events, I now am wondering if this is the case, because I am having trouble finding a way to root it.
To be clear, my current situation is that I am post-ICS, and not rooted.
The root method specified in the 7.7 development forum doesn't seem to work - it fails on the signature check. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849235), and OTA Rootkeeper seems to be for those who were way smarter than me and caught it ahead of time.
Any suggestions for achieving root, or am I out of luck?
Thanks for any help!

Download necessary files:
Verizon 7.7 LTE drivers: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/Verizon_Wireless_I815_Galaxy_Tab_USB_Driver_v1_4_7_0.msi
electron73's Odin pack: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_i815_odin_pack.zip
Root: http://www.mediafire.com/?x481a90591wdw0a
Make a folder on your desktop and extract the files there.
1. Install Verizon 7.7 LTE drivers
2. Put the root zip file on an external SD card, make sure your the SD card is inserted in the tab
3. Power down your tab
4. Boot into Odin mode by pressing power and volume up. Release power while still holding volume up when you see the samsung splash screen. You will be greeted with a warning dialog:

5. Press volume up to accept, you will be in download mode and greeted with the following screen:
6. Open Odin 1.85
7. Load FD01_recovery.tar by clicking the PDA button and selecting the file from the folder you made on your desktop, make sure auto reboot is unchecked. It is very important that you choose PDA
8. Plug in your tab, your PC will probably install drivers if you have never used Odin and how up under ID:COM. Your tab will show up in Odin. your screen should look like this:
9. If odin looks exactly like the screen above, click start. Odin should display a green Pass! above ID:COM
10. Power down your tab.
11. Boot into recovery, you will see an android with an exclamation point triangle
12. Choose apply update from external storage using the volume keys to navigate.
13. Select Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip
14. Tab will install and reboot.
15. You now have root.
If you want to be completely stock, including ICS recovery, then follow steps 3 - 9 except use the LP01_recovery.tar instead of FD01_recovery.tar, then reboot your tab. thats it !
P.S electron i linked to your files, i hopw thats ok

You may have to flash the honeycomb recovery with Odin just to root, because I think the new ICS recovery will not install unsigned update. After you flash root, you can flash back to stock ICS recovery. This is just a guess I have not tried this.

If that is what is required I may be in a bad way.
Stupid VZW has not provided this variant with any stock firmware download - no HC and no ICS.
In my short-sightedness I didn't think to make a nandroid or CWM because up to now, I can't use any non-stock roms - I need the LTE as a part of the tablet.
Drat and double drat.

It should be easy to root your stock ics tab:
1. Download the root zip, place on external SD card in your tab
2. Put your tab in download mode, connect tab to pc and flash stock Honeycomb e3 recovery via PDA button in odin. Be sure to untick "auto-reboot" option.
3. Once odin finishes with a "Pass!" Power down your tab by holding power.
4. Boot into recovery by holding power+volume up, let go of the power button when the samsung logo appears while still holding volume up.
5. flash the root zip from external sd card in recovery.
6. You should be rooted now.

For Step 2 - the stock HC e3 recovery part - is this a file that I download from somewhere or is this something that I would (should) have at hand?
Sorry to be noobish, but I want to be sure I don't do something irreversible here...
Thanks for the help!
eh

Followed the steps and it worked. Rooted the LP11 ROM by flashing the FD01 recovery and then flashing the Select Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip from recovery.

Stickied this as it took me quite a long time to find. This is VERY useful for people with the Verizon model and stock ICS.

Can't find FD01
Does anyone have a link to the FD01 recovery image? I cannot find it anywhere. The links to the stock roms are broken. I've been trying to root my LP11 7.7 i815 for years now to no avail.
I appreciate any help.

[Q] Root or restore after Flash?

I did the wrong thing and assumed my phone was still rooted after using t-mobile's upgrade from froyo to gingerbread.
I flashed my phone and now I am stuck on the manual mode screen. I assume (oh boy) I cannot place a custom rom since my phone wasn't rooted and therefore doesn't have permission to write to the phone. (I can't flash bootloaders)
At this point my data on phone is trashed I am sure, but I do have the contents of my sd card intact. I didn't backup before I started - hijole! I know.
I am not sure if I can use Super one click to root and continue to install a custom rom, or I should go back to base line and restore to original. Problem is I don't know how to goto the original at this point, and I don't know if super one click will work with my phone at its current state.... Argh! Will post pic of screen when I go to lunch today... Thought i had it with me on my iPhone. I assume to much!
Can you be more specific on the manual mode screen and what it looks like? Just to clarify, when you flashed from Froyo to GB (using Kies Mini, I assume) you did lose root. However, that does not prevent you from flashing a custom ROM. You can use ODIN or Heimdall to flash a ROM, then use one of those again to flash a kernel with root, with CWM, with voodoo lagfix, all of the above, or use SuperOneClick (the latest) to root it.
I'm guessing you might be able to get into download mode which means you could ODIN RaverX3X's 2.3.6 Stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176) which is the Kies Mini official update just repackaged for ODIN. That will get you onto stock 2.3.6. From there you have options
I am supplying a pic of the "Manual Mode" I was referring to, and yes I did originally use Kies to upgrade from Froyo to GB. Again thanks for the info:

Sweet, so you have it working?
I think he says is stuck on that screen.
Do a battery pull on your device to turn it off, then put it back in. To put it into download mode for odin, hold volume up+down while plugging your phone into your pc. Then use odin to flash.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
The problem he initially had is the rainbow screen and, although he can get into download mode, he's been unable to get his computer to see the phone. Thus he couldn't use ODIN to re-flash a good ROM.
djlalorocks, can you verify the state of the phone now? The screenshot you gave, by the way, is the CWM recovery screen. If we can get a good CWM-based ROM onto your SD card then you could flash from there.
Do you have an SD card reader for your computer you can use? I know the phone's not working in mass storage so that option is out.
Edit: My apologies; I went back and re-read what you wrote. When I saw that you found the upload feature I thought you meant you got a ROM to upload to the phone. I didn't realize you meant the picture of the screen. I'm slow sometimes
Haven't had a chance to work on it... I am on a mac, and yes I can place files onto a sd. My windows computer is having usb driver issues.

Heimdall (open source alternative to ODIN) works on the MAC, I believe. Regardless, if you can download Raver's Kj6-Rom-CWM-Offical-GB-2.3.6, put it on the SD card, go into the recovery screen (the one where you made the screen shot), use the volume down key to scroll to "install zip from sdcard", press the power button to select it, then select "choose zip from sdcard", scroll to where you put the file mentioned above, select it with the power button, then scroll to "Yes - Install sgs4g-OfficialGB2.3.6.zip" and select it.

I am an IDIOT...Tab 7.0 Plus

I'm the somewhat proud owner of a GT-P6200L in the U.S. who is eagerly awaiting the ICS upgrade.
Obvously, to go through Samsung Kies and to not root or download a Rom requires me to wait until Samsung decides to grace me.
I'm not crazy about doing anything "non-factory" to this device as it is excellent just as it is, but if I were to decide to upgrade to ICS, where can I find COMPLETE STEP by STEP instructions on EXACTLY how to perform the update? Does it even exist?
Your help is much appreciated!
settings>about device>software update.
of by Using Samsung Kies>connect device>check for firmware update;etc.
If you're looking for a guide to install our only official ICS to your GT-P6200L, there isnt really a guide.
I will explain briefly: 1. Wipe 2. Odin 3. Done.
read and search for more details.
Not to be a douche, but look at the stickies or search before asking.

You can use Odin 1.85 tick box auto-reboot and F.Reset Time. click PDA and select the extracted TAB 7+ ICS Firmware. Boot your TAB to download mode. (From OFF, press and hold power and down volume key, once you see the galaxy tab screen turn on, let go of the power button while still pressing the down key until the menu appears telling you to press the volume up key to continue.) Plug in your TAB to the PC (using the stock cable) wait for the yellow ID:COM port number to appear on the ODIN screen then click the start button.
OR, you can also use mobile odin. :good: (The Joy of Flashing.... without the cable juggle )

Here, hope this help, just follow his instruction and you are good to go. I've done it, no flaws, ics is running smooth~
Search for odin via google, it is a small file less than 1mb.

Flashing Firmware with Odin
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Get Odin v3.04 from here:https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/8
(Just extract the Odin folder)
You will also need to install the Samsung USB drivers for the device if you haven't installed KIES. Get them from here: Download
Just install like any Windows program...
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key + press the power button.

You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. If your ROM is a single .tar.md5 package click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1 and select it. This should like like the image below.
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA/Code, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin like below.
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for any required drivers to install and the ID:COM section to turn blue like below
7. Click start to flash. If Odin hangs at setting up connection just unplug the USB cable and re-attach it, Odin should now resume
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device once the flash has started, it will reboot when it finishes.
If the firmware is from this thread it will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended UNLESS I state that the firmware is a "WIPE" version.
A HEARTY THANK YOU is in order.
I never flashed or rooted anything for fear of bricking my unit. But your post gave me the confidence to try.
And it was simple and wildly successful.
Interestingly, I have a 6200L because it has a different antenna than a regular 6200 right? After flashing, I now have a 6200 but still get the same reception and speeds on the ATT network.
When Samsung finally gets around to "officially" updating my Tab, I will be able to do it via Kies, correct?
Yes, is correct...

I've connected my newly upgraded to ICS unit to Kies and it says that "Your Device does not support upgrading via Kies".
Kies obviously doesn't like the upgrade!
is it rooted? this is usually why.
maybe Kies just needs an update for your model no.
Nope not rooted. It was a stock 6200L

Most of the links are now broken since the Dropbox reset too.
I've been trying to find the root files for this phone everywhere and all the links are just broken. I just wanna root it to remove the boost bloatware and boot animation so I can use it as an emulator for old games but no luck finding any of the files.
Hey NGD1
I was curious If you still have the Transform Ultra Tu_root.zip file
if not its totally cool I was just curious if it is still out there somewhere in the world

[Q] How to find if my galaxy note 10.1 is rooted?

I am very new to this rooting things and I bought a used Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Moel Number GT-N8013 which is running 4.0.4.
When I attempted Software Update through Settings->About -> Software Update - it downloaded around 460MB and at the time of installation it brought up a screen with a title given below:
Clockwork kMod Recovery v6.0.1.1
I didn't want to damage anything so choose 'reboot system'. Then received the dialog box that the installation failed when the note booted back.
Then I googled and found a lot of info about it but don't see 'SuperSu' icon in my system to confirm if it is rooted.
Now can somebody tell me how to get this system upgraded to 4.1.2 or 4.2?
Thanks in advance.

Most likely it has been rooted but do this to check
Boot into odin mode ...... by pushing power and vol. down at same time with tablet on..... when tablet restarts and warning screen appears lift off buttons........ then press vol. up.
The next screen will tell you if it is rooted..
downloads should be 0
current binary should not say custom
system status should not say custtom
For latest firmware
Go to this web site http://samfirmware.com/ register for free.
then go to the CHECK YOUR FIRMWARE tab put in your model # / country (if usa - use cellular south) and hit check firmware... then download latest firmware.
Go back to odin mode and use odin to to install firmware. This video should help to unroot back to stock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsDOSvBdALg
.
When I did the following:
"by pushing power and vol. down at same time with tablet on..... when tablet restarts and warning screen appears lift off buttons........ then press vol. up"
In the top left screen, following was displayed:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-N8013
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Which means the tablet is not rooted but only the cwm recovery is installed?
Can I still download the new ROM onto my sd card and flash it with the option that displays "intall from sd card'?
Thanks in advance

installed or if you can install SuperSU from Google play, you would be rooted.
If you want to return to a factory stock unit and you are not rooted you should root the unit, install Triangle away https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway to reset the CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD...... then follow the directions in post #2 from this thread.
.
"If you have SuperSU installed or if you can install SuperSU from Google play, you would be rooted."
But the download site it requires a rooted device:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
Description
SuperSU is the Superuser access management tool of the future
!!! SuperSU requires a rooted device !!!
And the same is required for Triangle away as per google play.
Or with the current state, can I just flash a 4.1.x ROM using the CWM recovery that is installed in the tablet?
I really don't need it to be rooted and all i need is to get the JB on my system. Is this something doable with the current state of my tablet?
Thanks.

Yes you can. Just flash with a factory rom and then do a factory reset after wards. You will then be able to get updates.
Do you know how to do that?
.
Is the following correct?
1) Download the rom.zip and copy it to my SD card.
2) Turn off the tablet
3) Press the Power+Volume Up button until CWM Recovery screen appears
4) Choose the install from SD card and choose the zip file
5) Reboot the system

No, you need to follow the directions in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsDOSvBdALg I know it is a video to unroot but your issues requires the same process to remove CWM as it and your custom firmware need to be removed to be able to get OTA updates.

Awesome! This is the link i needed and my tablet is back to stock fully and running 4.1.2! Thank you very much!

Installing twrp and rooting the sm-t116 (tab 3 lite 7.0 3g)

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR TAB OR DECIDE TO BE CARELESS OR CREATE A CYCLONE... you know the drill.
HOW TO ROOT SM-T116 TAB 3 LITE 7.0 3G VOYAGE-XX ( Galaxy Tab 3 Lite VE (3G) (SM-T116 ))
After searching for over a month on how to root/install twrp all i cound find were instructions for the SM-T110/1...
if thread already exists pls notify
N.B I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS RECOVERY IN ANYWAY
I am writting to help fellow SM-T116 owners... Since ive been searching for a long time.... I believe there isnt a guide to root this Tab yet.
- N.B MAKE SURE you device's code name is goyave or goyave3g
1. Download the twrp recovery here
- download the recovery in .tar format...
- you will upgrade to v3 manually.
2. Download Odin v3.10.* here
-> copy them to a place you know on ur pc such as Desktop
3. Boot your Tab 3 lite to download mode by: pressing "power + home + vol down"
-> believing all your drivers are installed correctly
3.1 open Odin*.exe ,
3.2 connect your tab and press volume up...
-> at this stage Odin should recognise your device
on the ID:COM section like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. UNTICK AUTO REBOOT or you wont be able to enter recovery
5. Tap pn AP and go to the recovery you downloaded.
select it
6. Press on Start to begin the flashing process
-> After Odin flashes the recovery it will tell you PASS!
7
7.1. Preas and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN
7.2. when the screen goes black change and hold HOME + VOLUME UP
Now you will enter TWRP... stage 1 done.
rooting on post #2:good:​
Now TWRP is functional... Time to root.
1. Download Chainfire's SuperSu flashable zip here
-> and thanking is not a crime.
2. Reboot to recovery...
ALLOW TWRP TO MODIFY THE SYSTEM PARTITION
3.1. Select install
3.2. navigate to your supersu zip
/sdcard/* or /extsdcard/*
-> when you are at the folder where your zip is it will be on the dialog on the right.
4.1. select it
4.2. swipe to confirm
4.3. select wipe cache/dalvik and reboot...
Now you have a Custom Recovery and you are rooted... Doors open.
Becarefull to not to open the wrong doors ​
THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE
CREDIT GOES TO:
BIG THANKS TO TeamWin - TWRP FOR THE AWESOME RECOVERY AND
CHAINFIRE for the awesome supersu

I have this tab as above, it is locked(programmed) using an administrative app named Cellwe EMM. Basically i cannot download anything on this tab with neither usb nor sdcard including the internet. All i have to do to get rid of this security is wipe using custom recovery. When i get the tab in download mode it has this MDM DOWNLOAD BLOCK which block me from flashing and installing custom recovery in this tab. My only hope is if i can create an update.zip for twrp or cwm to be installed in this tab using stock recovery. This is where i need help,can someone create this for me or help me with a guide to do this

Hahaha not possible... the update.zip need to be signed by Samsung specifically...
Unless you get a modified stock recovery which needs to be flashed via Odin...
Ok
