This guide was made in 2016 and works as far back as 2012.

If you are already on Gingerbread then this guide is for you!

MAKE SURE YOUR TABLET IS CHARGED 100%!

How to Root and Flash Your Phone:

Just to make sure turn off your antivirus.

Install Samsung Kies to install the drivers on your system, then connect your device to install even more drivers, you get more installed drivers bonus if you manage to make Kies see your device.

After you're done UNINSTALL KIES AS IT WILL CONFLICT WITH ODIN.

Enable USB debugging by going to settings > applications > development > USB debugging

Plug in your device into your computer and wait for the drivers to install.

Enable installation of unknown sources by going to settings > application settings

How to Escape a Bootloop:

If you have tried every reset feature known to mankind and you're still in a bootloop then it's time to follow these steps

If you get suck in a boot loop then here's how you get out of it, how do you get stuck in a boot loop in the first place? By not enabling USB debugging and unknown sources before you root, get an external SD card and put in the rom you want to install in it, if you already have CWM then follow these steps, when you first rooted you will get CWM 3 (CWM orange) cause you will see orange text on the screen when you boot into recovery mode,

go and follow this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOnhvCcJUKw

If the video is not showing download from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3lJw_3ZeSr2amdOMHU0U2JDUmc/view?usp=sharing

in CWM 6 or as they call it (CWM blue) instead of selecting "choose zip from sdcard" SELECT "choose zip from external sdcard" anybody that says you should use ADB is crazy.

Error message:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxytab" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P1000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P1000"

DO. NOT. UNZIP. THE. ENTIRE. PACKAGE.

Inside the zipped file with the 7zip / winzip or winrar explorer, navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android/ and drag the updater-script out edit the file with notepad++ and delete the first line that ends in a semi colon. You will know cause it looks similar to the error you just got.

Delete the old updater-script from the zip and drag the new updater-script into the zip file.

Go back and follow the install rom guide alll over again, you don't want a restarting OS do you?

Enjoy your shiny new tablet!

Oh no my ram is only 500mb!!!

Download swapper for root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper&hl=en

i recommend 1000mb, it takes up to 10 minutes for it to prepare the swap.

My trebuchet launcher is glitchy!

Download and install nova launcher and make it the default launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en

What is a brick?

A brick is when your tablet has a sick day and just stops working, you are forced to hard reset it to get it back to normal.

usually happens with old models.

What is a soft brick?

This is a software brick where you have tampered with the software and now the device can't boot up, this can be fixed with

a softbrick repair tool, worst case scenario you have to open the tablet up, this is why you check whether the provider you're

rooting with has a unbrick method before you proceed.

This is what a soft brick looks like:

Symptoms: unable to boot into OS, does not show logo and can't enter recovery mode.

What is a hardbrick?

You have really done it now, you have butchered up the tablet so badly the core OS is broken, your only option is to take it to a repair store or sell it for parts. Download Nandroid backup (full image) and Titanium backup (partial backups) just in case a situation like this arises.
