---

Forgive me as I have been dealing with some family matters but here is the guide on how to root/unroot your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 USA WiFi Edition Only!!.

I nor any member of XDA
are responsible if you in any way shape or form
Brick/Break/Crack/Disintegrate your Tablet by using this guide


PLEASE DO NOT come into my thread and bash/flame anyone or anything about this thread. If you have a problem with it please PM me and we can resolve it that way. I don't want my thread cluttered with links to other ROMS/KERNELS/GUIDES/ETC........

I will in the future be making another thread to keep track of all the ROMS and from what variant they originate from

IRC Server = irondust.net
IRC Channel = #galaxy-tab10.1
Webchat link = HERE


Download these necessary tools I have compiled in an all in one zip for you.

DOWNLOAD


Within this download you will see:

ODIN3_v1.85

recovery.tar.md5 (CWM 5.5.0.4)
(Thanks to pershoot for this)

P7510XABKMP_P7510UEKMP_HOME.tar

Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip

Alright now that we have this downloaded. Extract the zip to your desktop or wherever you want to keep it for safe keeping.


Let's get started


First we need to get to know your buttons on the tab

It can be a little tricky for newcomers when navigating through recovery/download options.

P = POWER, D = VOLUME DOWN, U = VOLUME UP



With the Tablet powered off

Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons

You will see this screen below

Release the Power button but still hold the Volume Down button.



The next screen you will see will look like this:



This is your bootloader screen with obiviously TWO options.

Volume Down Button Navigates

Volume Up Button Selects

To Get Into Download Mode Make Sure This Is Highlighted:



To Get Into Recovery Mode Make Sure This Is Highlighted:



This is what Download Mode will look like after you have selected the correct ICON by pressing the Volume Up button.

There are two screens you will see.

The First:



And The Second:



When you are in Download Mode open up ODIN3_v1.85.exe

Plug your tablet into the PC.

For tutorials on ODIN3 I will leave that up to QBKING77 and his AWESOME YOUTUBE VIDEOS

When you see the yellow box lit up

Select the PDA Button

Find the recovery.tar.md5.

This is CLOCKWORKMOD 5.5.0.4

Hit start.

The process will last oh I'd say about................................... 7 seconds

You will see a Green Pass box lit up as well.

The Tablet will reboot on its own.

After the tab has booted up leave your Tablet plugged into the PC.

[EDIT:]

IF FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM IS YOUR GOAL
THEN STOP HERE AND DOWNLOAD THE ROM OF YOUR CHOICE
99.9% OF THE DEVELOPERS PRE-ROOT THEIR MAGNUM-OPUS
PUT IT ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SDCARD/USBSTORAGE
FLASH THAT VIA CWM
IF YOUR GOAL IS TO JUST OBTAIN ROOT ACCESS
FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW.

Put the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip onto the ROOT of your SDCARD/USBSTORAGE.

Next we want to power the tab off.

With the Tablet off boot into Recovery Mode

Now I always Wipe/Data Factory Reset 3X, Wipe Cache 3X and Wipe Dalvik Cache 3X as well.

I do this because I'm anal and it's less chance of things going wrong with the flash so make sure you have everything backed up you need.

However wiping all this from CWM will NOT delete your SDCARD/USBSTORAGE.

After you have wiped everything........

Select Install zip from sdcard



Then choose zip from sdcard



Then select your Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip



Then select YES.



Let it do it's thing then select reboot system now.

After it boots up HOORAY!!!!! YOU ARE ROOTED!!! Now you can delete all the system apps your little hearts desire.

Enjoy!!


If you happen to delete something you shouldn't have please follow the steps below


Now for the UNROOTING PROCESS!!

First thing to do is to make a backup of anything on your SDCARD/USBSTORAGE you might need.

Boot your Tablet into Download Mode

Plug your Tablet into your PC and wait for it to connect.

Select the PDA Button and then select the P7510XABKMP_P7510UEKMP_HOME.tar file

Hit Start and that process should take a couple minutes as it will put your Tablet back to the Factory ROM and Recovery and Kernel Images.

After it finishes it should reboot. You are going to want to power it down and boot into

Recovery Mode.



After you are in the factory Recovery Mode as seen above you are going to want to do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition 3X's. This will ensure that you are complete stock and it will wipe your SDCARD/USBSTORAGE


Congrats YOU ARE UNROOTED AND NOW ALLOWED TO RECEIVE OTA'S VIA SAMSUNG!!!

Great work. If we had a mod here, I'd say this should be stickied, and the old one removed. Thanks!


*Edit: OK, it's been up and stickied for almost a month. It's time to fix the formatting. As of now, I'd say even this guy could do better....

Thanks I appreciate that. I will try to get a hold of one to see if it can be stickied.

Great tutorial, very simple to follow and current.
Thanks for this.

just a tip: you might want to make the images smaller...and space things out a bit...just a bit hard to read but nice job.

Now THIS is how you do a how-to!

First...this is a great tutorial! Question though... is there some other way to root without wiping and losing my current data? Thank you!

You can flash the root zip file without wiping the data and cache. It will work.
OP have written so to make sure no issues arise because of flashing i guess.

Correct I never said it was mandatory to wipe I said I do it because it's less chance of things goin wrong and I'm anal like that lol. But no wiping is not mandatory however if you don't wipe and something goes wrong do not bitch about it :)
