Rooting will never affect your flash counter.
If you want to install custom rom and don't want to alter your flash counter, then just use mobile Odin and you can just flash off android.

Bro then how come ppl nid to buy USB jig to reset e counter ar? Is it use mobile Odin then safe Liao,dun hav to worry abt flash counter?

Wat to use to backup the stock settings (in case nid to go bak samsung) before rooting n flashing?

N wat u mean by "flash off android"?

Sorry for the many qns....jus a android noob here

if you root via desktop Odin, i.e. unsecure kernel, root kernel, then yes, your flash counter will increase.
if you root via the current root.zip which is loaded via recovery mode, then no, counter does not increase.
if you root via mobile odin when flashing another stock samsung firmware with ever-root function on, then no, you counter does not increase.

if you are root via root.zip or mobile odin and has install CWM, then installing of custom rom via CWM does not increase counter.

Bro many this for answering my qns!

But can further ask, can pm me the link for tis root.zip?

In yr opinion which is better using root.zip or mobile Odin?

I tot CWM(clockworkmod) is for doing nandroid back up?can use it to flash custom rom as well?

If I may, here's the direct link to download root.zip, and here are the rooting instructions for this method.

For CWM, haven't tried custom ROM for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 yet but I've used CWM to install custom ROM's on my Galaxy S2. Should be fine so long as you have the appropriate update.zip file.

IMHO either rooting method is workable, though Mobile Odin Pro costs S$6.59 on the Android Market (now Google Play), and the Lite version is free from XDA.

Yes - see query on XDA. AFAIK for the Samsung Galaxy series, so far only the Galaxy Nexus does not have Gorilla Glass - perhaps due to the curvature.

It's going for $735 over at Mobyshop where I got mine earlier.
You can also check with Adix bro to see if he can quote you any differently
Or you can check with the folks above about the Suntec price

Anybody experienced huge Android OS battery drain for the Tab 7.7? I left it overnight from 100% to 78% in 11 hours... My previous Tab 10.1 can easily last longer than that!

I don't experience such a drastic drop, though I do apply the Advanced Task Killer before I go to bed, whether it works or not...

Might be a bit odd unless you get a Bluetooth headset.
But hey, Android is all about having freedom of choice right?

Me I already have a Galaxy S2, and downloading the 4.0.3 firmware right at this moment, so ... *fingers crossed for successful update*
