Default How to dump factory rom + how i rooted bell 4g tab

So I've got a Bell GT-P7500M 4G and I want to root it, and before I do that I'd like to create a dump of my factory rom/kernel/anything else I can backup before messing with it. I've been looking around to see if any of this is available, however I can't seem to find anything. I'm also wondering which rooting process & files I should use for this device.
Thanks,
Richard

So I got adventurous and try to get this working on my own, here's what I did.

Installed clockwork recovery 4.0.0.4 using Odin. I used the files found in the tabrooteasy.zip

did a backup of the device using cwm.

used the 3g rooting process described in the main post. I tried the 4g one first, however the tablet would no longer turn on or enter cwm. I then tried the downloader mode which did work so I plugged into my comp and reinstalled clockwork mod using Odin. once I could enter cwm again I restored my previous backup.

Then I tried using the 3g root process which worked oerfectly, and I then installed the pershoot kernel which also works with the bell tab.

I hope this is helpful to anyone else who has the bell tablet that wishes to root their device.

Thanks
