Can you do a tutorial on how to setup gscript for the Galaxy tab so that you can change Wifi to allow Adhoc so you can tether to a rooted phone(droid1) in my case??
hi Max, with the new Samsung touchwiz coming out how would this affect our rooted tablet? Do we have to unroot before an update? Can you do a bit on how to properly update our rooted tablet. Thanks
Vince
Please see my latest post, you can install the rooted Touchwiz UX, I’ve had this ROM on mine for over a week now!
it there any difference between P7510 and P7500 on rooting, and also…can i get official OTA after i rooted my gtab10.1?
Hi, I have my tablet 10.1 galaxy protected by password and I can not unlock as i do?

You can root it and install a new ROM!
Hi,
This may sound scandalous to a lot of people but is it possible to install windows 7 on a tab 10.1?
Thanks

Hi, You could do a video on how to format the galaxy tablet could be helpful for people Thanks: D
hola solo es para saber si la raiz es lo mismo que formatear mi Galaxy tab
HI,
I FOUND AN ISSUE WITH THE NEW STARBURST ROM, also used the new overclocking - its fast but with a problem (two of them below)
or maybe i’m the only one who has this problem but after installing the rom on my rooted GT 10.1, my netflix app seems to be not working any longer, the icon is also changed to a black background with an android logo on the bottom right corner with a the netflix working in the middle from the original red background. i have to keep installing the old netflix apk file for me to use netflix but after rebooting the system it has the same outcome.
SECOND,
the lock screen configuration is no longer working
everytime i select to enable lock screen (to turn it ON), it just throws me back to the application and security options. anyone has this problme -> what should i do to fix this issue????
Interesting, let me look into it and will let you know.
I have the same concern. The screen lock can not be set-up!
I don’t have that problem…… 10.1 wifi only….. is yours a Verizon version or straight wifi?
did you try reinstalling the ROM a second time? (no harm done, I had to do mine when i broke the wifi)
I am pretty sure there are 2 different ROMS with Touchwiz on this website, did you try them both?
Which rom should i use? I have the same problem. Tab10.1 wifi only
Dear, can you show us how to allow that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 recognize AD-HOC WiFi conection, i allready rooted my tab, but it still does not recognize it. thanks.
Frederico,
This worked for me I have the retail 16 gig version.

thanks

I did everything, i think some commands i did it wrong, i don’t know how to change the permissions on /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf using this code, where do i have to write this?
Code:
adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Frederico there is another way to do it using an application right on the Tablet, Root Explorer for example. If you still have the problem, let us know and I or someone else can tell you how to achieve the same.
First question would be did you transfer the file over to your tablet?
All can be done a different way, just using that wpa_supplicant file, transferring it wity Cyberduck for example on Mac, to a running SwiFtp on Tablet which is an FTP server app, that gets the file across, then another app like Root Explorer can let you move the file to the right place —— but after you transfer the file, Turn WIFI OFF, then copy over the file to the right place, then you click (long) on the file to change permissions within Root Explorer and click on the Execute to be checked — 755 means Root: read/write/execute Group:read/execute All: read/execute —— so basically you just need to add the execute permissions (checkmarks), the rest of the permissions should be already ok.
Then you reboot at the end and only then try. It worked for me.
Another thing to note is that this wpa_supplicant works with the TouchWiz ROM, but if you don’t have TouchWiz in your OS then you need a different wpa_supplicant [from an article dated before August].
Hi Max

… well once you are, get it
QuickBoot app from appstore lets you boot into Recovery mode without pressing keys at startup by the way, you just pick it from the App………. oh wait i am pretty sure you have to be rooted first

Hi There,
I was one of the unfortunate few who downloaded the 3.2 update and it has trashed my Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Please can you give me instruction on how I can get it back to the official Manufacturers 3.1 software instead of the broken 3.2 software it currently has?
Thanks
Hi, I have ROOT and OVerclock MY gALAXY TAB 10.1. 3.1 KERNEL VERSION 2.6.36.4 -
I’be having problem updating from 3.1. to 3.2
should I do anything in order to update my Android Version?
Thanks for your help
Max, I am having problems with the 3.2 update. It stops right on 15%. My tab is rooted and not overclocked.. Do I have to unroot it and install the update and then root it again? Or do I just have to be patient and wait?
I did upgrade to 3.2 finally with KIES. But i am experiencing lots of problems with my display. I am getting lines in my display. When i rotate it and have it in vertical position, i see no lines. When i have it in horizontal position, lots of lines in my display.
Hi,Max.
Can you describe me, hou can I update my tab 8.9 to Honeycomb 3.2 and to make Tabuntu.
I read your information, wrote only for tab 10.1. Does it suit for tab 8.9?
Hello, having trouble enabling the adhoc wifi on tab 10.1. I downloaded the zip file to my tab then unzipped using android zip. I then use rootexplorer to access the system bin file with the wp file that came with the tab. I hit mount r/w and copied over the wp with the wp from the zip file, but when i go to connect to the wifi. I get an error. I tried this three times with no luck. I had to repaste the wp file that came with the tab to get the wifi to work again. Can you please help me.
Did you get this to work? I’m having the same problem.
Cool website. I had this “mac unsupported” issue trying to root my phone for the first time. It seems that your are using ODIN just to flash the clockworkmod recovery. Can you not just download the ClockworkMod app and use it to flash the recovery to get the same result? It’s kind of hampering to just say that Mac’s are not supported and its a bummer that that is the case. This would essentially take the PC/Mac out of the equation except to put the .zip file in the right spot to do the root.
I successfully did this on my Samsung Galaxy SGH-I897 before installing a rom and I see no reason why it wouldn’t be the same for the tab. Thanks and keep up the good work, its nice to see people interested in no limitations on these devices!
disregard the last. i got a bit confused as to what program i was thinkin about

I just wanted to say thanks for such a great and user friendly website! I was one of those skeptics out there about rooting my tab 10.1. I finally got off the fence and just did it, and was amazed at what happened. It was so easy to do, and yes, my Tab 10.1 runs much better than original. You guys are awsome! Keep up the good work!
India.
Mid Jan 2012 I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 the latest itab. This does not suppport SD cards but it has the ability to attach a USB to it.
I’ve not subscribed to internet data plans and use only the WiFi option at home to access the net and make Skype calls
I want to know if this tab can be cracked to function like a normal phone using my phone SIM Card (Vodafone) which seems to be the only missing thing to complete the all use itab
Thanks
STOP!
While one of two of your rooting technique videos do work to root the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, your subsequent instruction to employ su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-061611.zip IS A COMPLETE DISASTOR on a GTP7510 wifi tablet! Immediate color smear! No restore! No shut off! No factory reset! NADA@#!%$#@. Are you sure that this is how you put BusyBox on a Galaxy Tab 10.1? I don’t think so.
Hi, I have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi. I downloaded a movie off flixster for the ultraviolet copy on my tab but wont play. Its an mp4 file. Ive downloaded different video players and codecs but that doesnt work. Can someone help me into what I can do to fix this???????
I talked to Samsung, via chat, they said to reset the tab and it should work. Will that work?
To Britney!! I downloaded different movies and shows and its works. Idk, just might be of where you downloaded from. Give it a try with a different download and see if that works…
Hi,
I need a little help! I installed busybox on my galaxy tab10.1 as per your instructions. download to the root then clockworked and flashed. Everything looked good then rebooted. Now all I have is basically static of colored lines on the screen. I can re-enter clockwork at boot but that is about all. I did not save a backup before I did this so I am screwed there. How do I correct this and also what happened? I went through the steps up to this point working good in the hopes of installing Ubuta, but now this. Is there anything you can do for me? Con som ni da
I hate it when that happens! First, did you add Busybox from the Samsung Galaxy Tab Android Market? Or did you flash su-busybox-misc-sam-tab-10.1-061611.zip from GTH? If you flashed the su-busybox…zip, that is what toasted your tab. Next time add Busybox from the Android market once you have your device rooted. It’s free. Right now, reset the factory settings by holding down the power button and the volume button as described; this will allow you to reset the factory settings and reboot. Samsung tech help can lead you through this procedure which they say this will fix the problem; if it does not, Samsung will authorize a warranty exchange. Some vendors will also exchange devices which flame out, Best Buy gives you 14 days to bring an item back for an in-store exchange. The less said the better, of course: all anyone needs to hear is that you were trying to install Busybox, an app which is available from the Samsung Android Market.
This hack can work. I have ubuntu 12 [precise] running nicely on my GT 10.1 which means Python 3.2 is also there to use. It is proving to be surprisingly fast. Keep the faith.
I had the same problem when installing busybox. I read that if you followed along with the hack to overclock the processor to 1.4 ghz that you probably have busybox already installed. Either way, I flashed my ROM again, and then skipped the part in the walkthrough regarding busybox. I was able to install Ubuntu following the remaining directions. I had trouble installing tightvncserver. Fortunately, I fixed it by doing this instead (which I found on another website, although I didn’t copy the URL):
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main universe
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and Enter.
I then ran the update command and was able to install tightvnc. My ubuntu loaded fine, and it works. The only problem is that my graphics on the tablet look horrible. Trying to resolve that now as well.
hi this is my first android tab and i need help with it. i let my friend borrow my tab and he went into clockwork mod recovery and formatted /system, /data, /cache and now my tab won’t go past the “samsung galaxy tab 10.1″ screen. and i have no clue what to do. can someone please help me.
