Hi,

With a brand new 10.1 tab that has not gone through the setup process (e.g., choose language, etc.), can I flash the custom recovery, do a nandroid backup before rooting the tab? Would there be any issues?

Thanks in advance for the feedbacks,
Al

Someone was able to root without flashing the custom recovery. All the person did:


Just download tabrooteasy.zip to the tablet. Unzip it. Extract Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip to the root folder.

Shut the tablet off. Turn it on holding power and volume down. Select the install zip icon. Install the zip you just extracted. Done.


Does it really work that way?

I'm trying to root my tab. But it will not let me access download mode via left rocker volume + power. I can see it trying to go into download mode, but it appears for just half a second. Not sure what is going on. Help.

I had this happen with my DD's tablet just now. The answer was to hold down Left-volume + Power only until the initial Samsung logo appears, then release the Power button only (while still holding Left-Volume) before the icons try to appear. Now rooted fine.

I've rooted the device using this method and everything works great, except for one thing - Superuser says "binary outdated" and when I try to update it, it says "Gaining root access... fail!". I don't know if it's necessary or not to update, but it doesn't let you remember the choice for the root access for the application, which is a bit of annoyance.

Other apps work fine. I've re-applied the zip but to no success.

What might be the problem?

Actually, I found the answer, it's here:

Superuser Update Fixer in the market fixes the problem!

    A big thanks to RoboBear, tphillips, Lorddeff07, and anyone else that has helped make this happen.

    I try to make my guides simple and straightforward so that the average user can root their device. I show every detail and walk you through the process. This guide is a complete video walkthrough on how to root the Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi with edits based on the issues that some may run into with previous guides. Without further ado, let's get started!

    I love how you have proper grammar and punctuation skills. Spacing is good, fonts are bold where they need to be, this is how a guide should look!

    All guides should be written like this, can u offer classes for the uneducated?
