[GUIDE] Rooting the 10.1 Tab

---

Here's a quick run through on how to root the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I'm doing this for people (like me) that had a tough time getting the USB drivers to work after getting their Tab at I/O.

Assuming you have adb and the SDK set up on your Win7 machine, proceed.

1. Download the new USB drivers at http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...ing_Escape.exe

2. Reboot your machine

3. Plug the 10.1 Tab into USB

4. Download the root exploit at http://lts.cr/bqf (or use allidoiswin.zip somewhere else)

5. Then, open up a command prompt ("cmd" under Run...)

6. Run the following commands:

adb push Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip /sdcard/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip

adb reboot recovery

7. Once you're in recovery, select the zip file, then apply, then reboot.

I was under the impression that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices at I/O did not have an SD card. How is it being pushed to one?

Great question. Looks like Sammy and El Goog have set up the 32GB on board as the "sdcard". You can push stuff to the personal storage by sending things to /sdcard/.

What recovery are you booting into to get an option to flash the update? Not the factory one I suspect

The stock recovery DOES allow you to choose whatever .zip file you want to flash as well as actually coming stock UNLOCKED. Awesome stuff. Thanks Google.

^ wow thats a first

10.1v model without the SD card, it could work with this guide?

worked like a charm, thanks!

Not yet, as the 10.1v doesn't have the option to boot into recovery...
