z4root fails on Galaxy Tab

[Feral Urchin]

Have run z4root 1.3.0 multiple times on new Galaxy Tab with firmware 2.2. Each time, after selecting either temporary or permanent root, I get the message "Running exploit to obtain root privileges", followed by the message "Acquiring root shell", then the device vibrates, runs another 30 seconds or so, vibrates again, and then dies. Any suggestions?

Is the tab in the list of compatible devices. i dont imagine it is.

Thanks for the response. It appears as compatible on at least one list (don't know where I saw it), but not on some others. Is there a known way to root a Galaxy Tab?

Maybe it will help. Not a tab user....

Yes, all versions of the original Galaxy Tab are compatible with Z4root.

Like the OP, I can no longer successfully unroot/re-root my tab after the recent Verizon update (build SCH-I800.EC02). If anyone knows of a fix, it would be greatly appreciated.
