I have recently purchased a new i815 Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Verizon. I haven't owned one of these before and rooting this thing seems to be giving me the most trouble I have ever gotten before. I have done quite a few hours with Google trying to research this with no success. It has the 4.0.4 software on it now. What I have found on the forums is where you had to download a .zip file and apply it as an update. I tried that several times (and tried re-downloading it as well) and I get a signature verification error or something similar to that. There is no other way I have found to root it. I couldn't seem to find a clear answer from the one topic that talked about it because everybody kept flying off topic like no tomorrow. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure you'll need to install CWM first and then either flash a prepared ZIP or adb push the files you need over. I used instructions from here to re-root my i815 when I upgraded to LP11:

Hey all. Ive been trying to root my samsung infuse for the past several hours with no success. I followed this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-02NrvxDZYA&feature=channel_video_title. When I run superoneclick i receive the waiting for device message at step #7.
So because SuperOneClick did not work i tried other methods. I tried this root method from DooMLoRD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
can also be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18615502
I copied the console text. Maybe it can help solve the problem. I've been looking to find a solution but have not found a fix, so I do apologize if its out there. Can you guys please offer some help. thank you
If you're running stock Froyo, SuperOneClick 1.9.1 will root it. Just make sure that you check the Debug mode box first.
Thanks. I tried it, but i still receive a waiting for device.
I.7 superoneclick will root it without fail....I use it EVERYTIME I go back to froyo

Am I missing something??? I tried superoneclick 1.7 and it still stopped responding and said waiting for device... ahhhhhhhhhh
I don't remember, since I haven't done this in a long while, but I believe you need to have the drivers installed first. Download samsung Kies. Then try it again.

Try another version of super one click. I used v2.2

So I was a little disappointed to learn that the JB update won't work on a rooted device. I didn;t use Odin to do it - I used a link on Droid Life. It worked fine, but now I would like to un-root it so I can get the update. I've looked around and found a few links - many of which involve downloading files that no longer exist. And I don't think the method I used to root it backed up the original ROM.
Anyone have any idea where to look?

Yes the jb update can be rooted and you can simply use ota root keeper, take the update and be good.

The jb update does work on rooted devices .

There have been many reports of the update working on rooted devices. You can even keep your root using OTA root keeper.
The only thing you'll have to do is have stock recovery flashed and you should be good to go.

Once you've rooted and installed cwm from there just search the development thread for a ROM you want and read instructions in op and enjoy.. good luck.

OMG someone PLEASE remove that %^#(^ noob video!!!
Let's all report it as offensive!!
I rooted my gs3 today with no problem. I have root access and CWM installed. I came to find that I cannot turn WiFi on. Did a quick search and seems that I'm not alone. If I flash a new rom do you think WiFi will work? If not I need some suggestions. Thanks !!

Your wifi should be working fine after rooting your phone weird it isn't. You could try flashing a new rom that will probably make it work again.

I read somewhere that I used a wrong version of gs3 toolkit. Evidently it happened to someone else. But you think a new rom should enable it to work?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Oh I see, yes I am quite sure a new rom will make it work again

Depending on just how wrong the toolkit you used to root was, I'd suggest completely wiping and returning to stock and hoping you didn't do something really, really bad - but only time will tell.
Hi all,
I don't know whether I'm posting my question in the correct forum or not.
My Phone is SCH I-535. Accidentally, I upgraded to 4.3.
I have rooted and downloaded rootchecker from play store and it is rooted successfully.
Basically, I did a big blunder last time, by flashing a wrong ROM altogether. Flashed the International Version ROM and it hard bricked, and it was a mess. I could not use my phone for almost 6 months since, I did not have time to work on this. So now, I got the phone up and running and I did not know that, I should not accept the 4.3 update. So I did accept and now I'm on 4.3 and rooted.
Basically, I have 3 requirements.
1. Get a clean, fast, simple ROM, which has only essential Apps and no bloatware - CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANY ROM-SCH-I535,4.3,ROOTED
2. Get the HotSpot feature working - I downloaded foxfi, and it is working fine. But if the stock Hotspot feature works, then it will be great. I don't like many Apps in my phone. I feel they make it a bit slow. I want my phone to be as fast as possible.
3. Increase the Brightness of my screen. I read somewhere about the kernel modification or something. I tried to do that last time and I messed it up badly.
So, I did not want to do anything stupid this time and I'm posting here.
I have read different threads and there is a lot of information, and that's how, I was able to root this 4.3 SCH I-535. But I don't want to do anything on my own, with out expert advice. So I'm posting here.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thank You.
1. Lots of great roms available, take a look at all of them and see what looks interesting. Every rom will be experienced differently by everybody, so your best option here is to systematically try them out until you find a good one that runs like you need it to. Remember you need safestrap in order to do this and the rom can only be 4.3 TouchWiz.
2. I think there's a wifi hack somewhere that will remove the Verizon prompt completely. Not sure where to find it though, might not be s3 specific.
3. Increasing the brightness may not be possible. If there is a way, then an xposed module might be able to do it. Take a look at all of them and see if something allows you to modify that.

Foxfi free didn't work on my rooted Verizon s3. Did you use free or paid version.?
