[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
If this is some sort of duplicate post, please delete it, but I could not find something like this anywhere. I want to share my method for gaining root access + installing CWM recovery on the Rogers Galaxy Tab 10.1. This should work on other variants, those who can confirm please comment and I'll update the post.

Update:

Now confirmed on WiFi model AND Verizon Model (thanks Rockaholic94 and badogg for testing).

Rooting:

1. Download this file and rename it as "update.zip"

2. Put the update.zip file on the root of your tab's SD card

3. While your tab is powered on or off (doesn't matter), hold the volume down (volume up on VZW Model) + power key to bring up the option to select recovery mode or download mode.

4. Choose the recovery mode option (box picture) by hitting the volume down key then selecting with the volume up key.

5. Now that you're in the factory android recovery menu, choose "Install update from SD card".

6. Highlight the update.zip file using the volume buttons and the power button to select.

7. Confirm Superuser is in your list of apps :D

Let it do its thing and it is now rooted.

Installing Clockworkmod:

1. After confirming the Superuser app is installed and you in fact have root access, download ROM Manager from the Play Store.

2. Open ROM Manager and choose "Install Clockworkmod Recovery"

3. Select "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" to make sure the right recovery is installed, and wait a minute or so as it installs.

4. Towards the end, ROM Manager will prompt you for root access to complete the install.

Congrats, you now have root access and CWM Recovery.

This was tested on my 3G device running 3.2 for the record, but it should work on 3.1 also. Please let me know what devices you've been successful using this method for, and remember the "thanks" button too ;).

Guide was written by myself, but I grabbed the root file from this post on Android Authority. Props to whoever the original owner of that file is... :D Also, not responsible for bricking devices etc etc etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
For which versions of the 10.1 will this method work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
It works 100% on the Rogers GSM 3G model, so it should work on any 3G variant. The tabs are branded as "4G" here in Canada but this method has not been tested on an actual 4G (Verizon) device, or the Wifi only model.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] badogg:
I did it on my Wifi only 10.1 tab and it worked perfectly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
Awesome! Great to hear.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kasper_h:
Great! I don't like using Odin (once had a semi-brick when flashing with Odin, probably due to a bad cable connection), so I like this Odin-free approach :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
I'm not a huge ODIN fan myself. I only have experience with ODIN from my 7" Galaxy Tab but I like simple methods that don't require a computer. I completed this method by simply using Dropbox to transfer the root file to my device, the built-in file manager to rename the file, stock recovery to flash it, then CWM via ROM Manager from the Play Store......... NO WIRES :D :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dejanslibar:
unroot?

Many thanks for this!!

I also don't like ODIN, not to mention that I only have Mac thus booting into Windows everytime I want to use it.

This "no wire" method really is better and way easier, do you thing unroot method can also be made that way?

Bye, Dejan.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
I'll look into the un-root method and update the post accordingly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nevetsgtI9100:
worked on my 4g rogers model.

Thx!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kasper_h:
The zip only adds superuser app & su binary, so I would suspect that simply removing these 2 files would be enough to unroot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Lurittelija:
Few newbie questions regarding flashing.

If I flash this AOKP am I able to uprage it to ICS when it is released?

Or am I forced to flash back to stock rom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
You'll need to either revert back to stock to get the official OTA or just wait on a flashable custom version you can flash via ClockworkMod.

I'm personally just going to flash a new version of AOKP once it is updated with the camera drivers (since none of the ICS ROMS currently have working cameras). The cameras aren't something I use on my tablet so I'm currently living without them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BS_sage:
I tend to use the camera, so I'm waiting for that to finally get updated. I'm hopeful it comes soon, with the alleged 'soon' release.

I did get CM9 nightly up and it looks good, but I'm going back to Honeycomb stock. (having difficulty going back, but that's for another thread)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
The only reason I really don't like the stock ROM is the lag, not to mention they're pretty slow to update this particular device. ASUS seems to be on top of keeping their devices updated, but they don't offer any 3G/4G tablets here in Canada.

After seeing ICS reviewed on the new 10.1 tab, it's sad to still see lag on a revised version of the device. I'm not overly confident that the ICS update being pushed here in June will be much better than 3.2, for me it's going to provide camera drivers and that's all it will be good for.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] narcotic81:
So..if I root using this method, how do I unroot in case I need to?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ironman5559:
Thanks for help
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] this_is_nick6:
As of right now you will need to use ODIN to unroot and revert to stock unless someone finds a flashable .zip method or something (which will only unroot, won't restore stock recovery). I've been busy lately so I haven't really looked into any unroot methods yet. As far as I know there is this method for restoring a WiFi only Tab to stock, which does wipe your device keep in mind:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1474971

The only reason you'd really need to unroot would be for warranty reasons I suppose, but it would be nice to have a quick and easy method.

galaxy 10.1 tab model gt-p7500 how to root? root.zip does not work

Hi :

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 model and trying to root it.

tested root.zip and does not work

any other alternative method?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Rockaholic94:
I would like to confirm that this method works on the VZW tab. Only trick is that you must press volume up instead of volume down to enter recovery.

Samsung Galaxy Verizon

Hi,

I tried this on my samsung galaxy 10.1 verizon and it wouldn't work. I have a 2012 version.... which doesn't have an SD card (only sim) so every time I'd try to download it would prompt me to store it in the box cloud and not allow me to choose where to save it. Then when I'd click on the zip download it wouldn't open it. Of course, I am not savy at these sorts of things... so I could be missing something- but that has been my experience.Thanks !!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yakatoy:
The best thing I would recommend is to download it on a computer and then transfer it to your tablet that way you can choose where you want to save it, if your table won't give you the option to save. That is what I did and it sounds like I have the same tablet as you.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AJtheAndroidNoOb:
Will this work?

Will this Noob - friendly guide work with my device? Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G and Wi-Fi P7500 running stock ICS 4.0.4, Can I root too without a computer? Since I just need to download the "update. zip" and put on root folder which doesn't require a computer, a reply would help:laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yakatoy:
As long as you have the Verizon version, then this should work and as long as you can save the update.zip to a location that you can navigate to in recovery, you should be good to do this without a computer.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yakatoy:
I wouldn't try this method on your Samsung tab 3, but go to the following link in XDA that is specifically set up for rooting your tab:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2418533

This is an Odin approach, so if you are not a fan of it, just type your device name in the "type to find your device" at the top of the page and search for what works best for you, but you should have no problems finding a good root/rom for your tab!

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------

Without knowing what kind of tab you have, it is very difficult to know if this root will work. Best way is to go through this thread and see if anyone else has your same tab and states that this works. Otherwise, I would just search for your tab in the search field, but if it doesn't state "international" be very careful. Generally speaking, United States and International rooting don't cross too well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AJtheAndroidNoOb:
I want to root now xD

I have the same device as some of the other members who replied to this thread [Galaxy Tab 10.1 P-7500] But I'm not in America, is it safer to root that I'm not a Verizon user? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eushaun99:
It works, if you're on 3.2. If you upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 already, then this method will not work.

Propaply a noob question

Does this work on SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB GT P5110 version 4.0.3.? Most I've seen is with something called Odin and required connection with a PC. This is by far the easiest and simplest rooting way I've read. So is this possible? Or is there another way to root my device? I've read many times how easy rooting can mess things up, so I'm too scared to take any unnecessary risks and haven't rooted it for a year.... Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I purchased an 'ezTab NB-1460-8GB' 10.1" from a stall.

I was told it has a Samsung screen and hardware, but custom (China) made case and charger, hence cheap.

It worked OK for sometime, I added a few programs, downloaded stuff and it become very, very sluggish, I tried to reset it to factory settings, but it did not work, so I would like to root it and update its software.

I think you need to install cwm from the first post instead of twrp. After that you can always flash twrp from cwm.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoovnick:
Ok, found a solution for those wondering.

1: installed zroot (most recent) from Aptoide (www.aptoide.com) followed instructions on screen (simply hit the "tap to root" button)

2.1: installed ROM manager from Play Store just to push CWM recovery

2.2 : installed mobile odin pro (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899)

3: downloaded twrp, I used the 2.8.0.0 listed here, 1st post (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2777161)

4: extract recovery.img to root of sd card (used simple unrar from the play store)

5: pushed recovery.img with mobile odin

6: reboot to recovery (make sure you enable developer options *clicking build number repeatedly* to enable 4 part reboot menu)

7: make backup

Now you can download the ROM/Kernel/etc of your choice and follow the devs instructions for flashing.

If anyone needs anything more specific let me know

hmmm maybe if someone could see if this root file is in fact different, maybe you could rename this to update.zip and flash it using the same method? I literally took the plunge and did it on mine using the root file I found, so if you're willing to take the risk it would be great info to add to the post if it is successful.

Most of the .zip contents appear to be the same or similiar, so you could even take a chance and flash the file from my post. Make sure to let us know if you decide to go through with it! If it works for you, that means all of the 10.1 models (previous to the Tab 2) are rootable using this ridiculously simple method.
