Hi folks!
First of all, I am a total beginner at this root/custom-modding stuff so please bear with me. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (SGH-1497), and I managed to root it myself - Afterwards, I checked with Root Checker and got a positive result. The main reason I wanted to root was because the official update on this thing only goes up to Android 4.1.2, and I was hoping to get lollipop on there. After much searching I think I found a rom which would work for my tablet.. I downloaded ROM Manager and found I needed to install "a custom recovery like ClockworkMod" and here's the problem! I click on "ClockworkMod Recovery" under "Install or update recovery" and it gives me a list of devices, telling me to pick one. Trouble is, my device isn't listed! Is there a better tool to use? I downloaded Cyanogenmod's express install thing and it said my device wasn't supported. Now I've already seen several youtube vids with my tablet running Android 5.0 and above, so I have to assume I'm doing something wrong. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful! Thanks.

The problem is your bad luck, no lollipop rom is made for your tablet, the reason you have seem so many videos on YouTube is that they are the p5100/p5110 tablets, yours is the SGH-1497, so it's your bad luck

Damn, that IS some bad luck! I wonder what the point of rooting this thing is then? I can delete some bloatware.. Not that big a deal. Here's a question - Now that I have root, can I install games to the sd card instead of the device storage? That might make it useful..

Yeah you can do that especially if you are still on jelly bean, go to play store, install link2sd and watch some videos on YouTube on how to use it, I never used it actually, and though it was bad luck it could have been even worse if you bricked it by flashing some incompatible recovery, so you are actually lucky.

I just recently picked this up from walgreens $94.15 out the door.
It came with root access, I got it home popped in a SD card that I had SuperSU and Root Explorer on, allow unknown sources was already checked so I used the native file manager and tried to install SuperSU, it installed, I opened it it asked to update the binary I said ok it said success, so I went back and installed Root Explorer opened it it asked for Superuser permissions I said yes and Voila!:victory: FULL ROOT. I then called southerntelecom to ask about the firmware update to support google play and what not; if it would revoke Super User permissions like most firmware updates do. I could tell that they didn't really want to give me a straight answer, was told they couldn't answer, that they weren't sure if it would or not, (how could they not know? ) I was even put on hold a couple of times, I was eventually told that someone in tech support was going to install the update on one of the tablets they had there and they would call me back and have an answer for me. That was on a Friday, and believe it or not, Monday afternoon they called me back But they still really didn't have an answer for me, said that tech support didn't get a chance to do an install to check .
But anyhoo what I WAS able to find out, was that, supposedly, every thing needed to support google was already installed, just missing the google APK's because of licensing, kinda like CM. So time to do some investigating. I took a jelly bean gapps package (I think it was for 4.2.3 cause google ears was in it) and started comparing; and what I found was it did seam to have all the needed underlaying google framework support files except for com.google.android.media.effects.jar, Facelock.apk, Phonesky.apk/aka playstore, and of course the regular google apps that you can download from the playstore. I of course had everything extracted out of the gapps.zip file and I just dropped them into their respective places and folders, set permissions and ownership, deleted dalvic cache and cache and rebooted and waited..........aaaannndddddddd BAM! :highfive::victory:
I now have an 8" tablet with full Root SuperUser capabilities, 1ghz dualcore processer (overclocked with set cpu,) 1GB/DDR3 ram, Dual cameras, WI-FI,(look's like it also has support for a 3g dongle), Bluetooth, HDMI out and fully supports google play store and whatnot.
I cant complain, pretty pleased with it actually, it's fast, and seems to have decent battery life and I also now have init.d support on it. There's a few more tweaks I would like to do to it yet like expanding the 4gb internal storage with the 32gb external SD card; ideally I would like to seamlessly merge the two so the tablet would see just one 36gb storage place for all apps and whatnot but I think I'm hoping for too much on that one:silly:
Please help me
Good morning sir/mam, I'm resetting my Polaroid A8 but i can't reset because i don't know how to boot in recovery mode. Can you help me how to boot in recovery mode? . Thanks in advance

Thanks for your replies I really appreciate it. I am sorry its in the wrong place, I did look, but I couldnt find it.
@AXD96....if i use that, are there updates for it, and also if I need to unroot it is it possible. Its still under guarantee.
Thanks again.
Can I ask, if somebody could explain, whats the difference between flashing and rooting, having the phone locked or unlocked and how that affects both, being able to use kies, how does that work, if its been rooted.

yes the update yes but you must use cydia 1 time after you will get root access you must install superuser or supersu from playstore and you should do these updates from play store
if you are thinking about firmware update the answer is always yes! )
you cant do updates if you change bootloader,if you want to change rom you MUST change bootloader

android is based off linux. and pretty much has everything a linux computer has except Super user/admin like we have on windows. pretty much rooting is running a exploit to get Super user so we can run applications/ flash OS and other goodies. locked and unlocked have to do with the bootloader. im not the best guy with knowing what a boot loader is but pretty much it boots your OS. if its locked you are unable to flash unsigned Roms so no custom roms pretty much. im not sure why Samsung cant update their phones ota sometimes so they use kies. maybe the file is big enough that it cant be carried ota.

flashing=install some software (brutal force Haha) with flashing you install(copy)data on your phone maybe a firmware,
flashing is used with pc while you flash a firmware or the clockworkmod...
flashing is also used while we speaking about recovery when you install a zip...
routing is the procedure to add superuser function to your android
you can get root flashing a firmware that has included the root
or get it using some exploit
exploit=android bug
there are a lot of bug in android versionS
for example today there arent exploit avariable on android 4.4 and 4.3 but there are 1 or more in android 4.2 4.1
and there are a lot of bug in android 2.3 this os the same of iOS on iPhone, in apple world we talk about JAILBREACK...
if you would like to try to root using exploit you can try FRAMAROOT an app or CYDIAIMPACTOR a software on pc
if you would like to flash a firmware with root you should use ODIN

hit a problem, I downloaded Cydia to my macbook pro, installed it, selected debugging mode and accept downloads from unknown sources, opened Cydia and the drop down option has 'drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su' clicked on start and immediately kies wants to open, and then Cydia says 'Error signature bugs unavailable'. What does that mean and why has it happened.
Thank you

sorry i was a little late, i have never heard of that cydia app that guy was talking about and i looked it up and it has nothing to do with rooting.
so i looked it up like i promised and i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910 should work on 4.1.2 the guy said its in Chinese and if you look down there's pictures to find your way through it. yeah once its rooted it should have superuser or SuperSU (same thing made by different people) if it is not on there you might have to download it from the playstore just look one of them up (chainfires SuperSU is recommended) and install it and get a root checker from the playstore as well. Update me if anything happens.

Hello.
I wouldn't say I'm a noob, but maybe I am. Lol
I got a Hipstreet Aurora, HS-7DTB6-8GB, last year. Wasn't it's biggest fan, so I didn't use it. I recently got a Samsung Tab 3 7.0, of which I've rooted and flashed cwm recovery on it. I haven't flashed a rom on it yet, kinda waitin for CM to release for it.
Anyways, I decided to give my kid the Hipstreet. Then did some research on it and realized that I can root it and flash recovery on it as well.
So I rooted with Tasslehoff's rooting tool and flashed CWM recovery 6.0.2.8. Now I would like to install CM10 as found in original thread,
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343531"
Here's my question, and maybe here is the noob in me, I don't fully understand the specs laid out in the thread and what will work and what won't.
Can I install CM10 through the recovery in the state I have the tablet right now? Or is there things I have to be careful of. I don't feel like bricking it and going through those motions again.
At this point, can I just:
wipe/factory reset
wipe cache partition
*not sure if the delvic needs to be wiped*
install CM10 from sd
install google apps
install patch
reboot
and it's good?
Or am I going to have complications if I run it like that?
PLEASE HELP
just follow the instruction and it will be fine

I understand installing. I've done it on my kids Captivate. Im stuck on using terminal to figure out the modules, to see if I require touchscreen, g-sensor, and camera patches. I dont want to flash cm and g apps and not do the required patches. I inputed 1smod in terminal and said not found. Then entered getevent and it started running crazy script endlessly (didnt wait super long to see if it stopped). This is the part of the thread I did not understand. The module/terminal codes...
I figured it out and now it is runnin cm10. I looked up tutorial on android terminal. :good::good:

Its running the same really. Even with the performance cranked up to 1008 CPU. It has a lot of lag and is finicky. In a nutshell... I bought my daughter a tab 3, lol. Now the all winner is my experiment tablet. But if all you have is an all winner, then I would suggest converting it as it gives you more freedom with the system itself. Like getting rid of garbage apps and such...
After noticing that the root on this page is not for my phone I'd like to ask for help. My international phone runs 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and I really want to root it, but its getting hard to find any trustworthy rooting instructions for my phone, as it isn't very popular. I found a page that uses something called "Bin4ry" to root it and it showed me the source of it, and it was a development thread in here. As i read the supported devices I did not find mine! I was about to root it but not finding my phone on that list did not really convince me. So, if anybody has the device GT-S7562L and has rooted it, or knows how to root it, or maybe knows if Bin4ry actually supports it? Thank you for your help I'm having trouble rooting this phone, and I'm vey skeptical about the issue! Also, if i do root it, what data is wiped? Is my cutom launcher (Nova Launcher) still gonna be there?

rooting do not wipe anything....
understand this:-
Q. What the hell is Rooting ???
A. If you are familiar with the Windows operating system and its basic terms,then you must be aware what the 'Run as Administrator' option does.Its almost the same thing that rooting allows you to do in your Android.In layman language,it allows you to play around with the system files making you the true controller and administrator of the device you have shelled out so much money for.For example,changing the splash screen (the welcome screen that shows up whenever you switch on your phone,usually having the manufacturer's logo),or deleting some crap apps your mobile came loaded with,every such extraterrestrial thing requires you to have the adequate permissions to edit or replace system files.
and did search on how to root your device
i found some guides but they are for GT-S7562 and your device is GT-S7562L..
im not sure if it would work for your device or not....

apparently the main difference between gt s7562L and gt s7562 is 3g radio band use.
So should be same software and hardware apart from that

Hey guys - I just went to best buy and ended up buying 3 of the Digiland 10.1 Tablets they had on sale for $70. Going to give them to my nieces for X-Mas (ages 11, 13,14). Dose anyone know how to root this device and install Android 5.0 Lollipop ?
I'd like to update these 3 before i give it to them. Thanks!
Bump, I am also using the digiland 10.1 from best buy... Successfully rooted, but looking for the best way to install custom rom without bricking? Thanks in advance.

I used root genius on Windows and it worked very easily... Hoping for custom recovery but I'm only intermediate with these things so I'm not sure where to go from here.
I bought one of these from best buy and would be very interested in all info available on rooting, custom recovery, and compatible roms for this device. I registered just for this thread. lol.

I rooted with the root genius for windows. Super easy took about 20 mins. Make sure you use the download from shuame.com though. Follow the directions
review?
Since you guys are using tablet.. What's your thoughts of it so far?
I'm sure someone on her knows of a rom to use.
That site is in what appears to be chinese, even translated its...hard to tell what is going on. No worries the thing doesnt even get here till the 11th of Dec.
Ummm what?
the site he listed, its in chinese
but regardless many reviews on bestbuy are saying it comes rooted anyway.

So did anyone get a custom rom working yet?
So far I like the quality of the tablet. I also brought three tablets one being the Digiland for myself and it is a very nice tablet. I just rooted mines as well through Root Genius. It's already on 4.4 so going from kitkat to lollipop isn't a huge deal to me. I'm using Buzz Menu as my home launcher and I Really like it! One of the biggest things I look to find in a rom for this device is multi-window.
Windows XP drivers help
I'm really liking this tablet as well.
I've been trying to root it with Root Genius as well, but unfortunately I've come across a road block.
I'm using a windows xp computer and I can't seem to find any driver for the tablet when you insert it in dev mode into the PC.
It asks for "MT65xx android" drivers and despite hours of searching on the net yesterday, all the drivers I have found online get rejected during the install driver process. I point the driver install to the right folder with the unzipped XP drivers, then it just fails and states it hasn't found matching drivers in there... I tried and found like 10+ websites with no luck.
Has anyone rooted it through a Windows XP computer? If someone could help me find the right matching drivers, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, I'm happy to hear people like this tablet, since I'm giving them as gifts.
"MT65xx Android Phone" driver
It turns out that most of the drivers I was trying must have been "MT65xx Preloader" drivers (the driver that is required when connecting the tablet when it is turned off).
Could anyone who has successfully rooted theirs point me towards a valid "MT65xx Android Phone" driver for Windows XP? That seems to be the name of the driver required when the device is turned on and with usb debugging turned on (the state required for Root Genius to work). Google hasn't returned a valid one for me yet since most sites tend to get the "preloader" and "android phone" drivers mixed up or poorly labeled, it seems that all the ones I found fall in the earlier category.
Rooted
ok so I have the thing rooted with root genius. Still looking for a rom, I have also noticed that this device seems to have a 2Gb partition and then the rest of the 16Gb in another partition. Is there a way to repartition this? Im a PC tech but very new to android. This site has been very informative so far.
I have rooted and downloaded the Original ROM for the DigiLand 10.1 running 4.4.2. I am currently attempting to load Lollipop on the system.
Can you please post the link to the original ROM, I have thus far been unable to find it.
Thanks
My first one did the wireless update after Rooting with root genius and bricked. Probably just bad download. Got replacement and updated and rooted, but having to use kinguser because of the issues supersu has with access to root from SD. Flawed for some mtk devices I have found. Lucky patcher and titanium backup won't work properly with supersu. Does anyone know if superuser has the same problem?
