India ..
i did OTA update twice . May be that is why the current methods dont work

It worked

I did a factory reset .
flashed the firmware ( i already had the same firmware installed ... dont know why but it worked )
Loaded CWM and rooted


Thanks for patiently helping me

When I look inside "update.zip" from the first page, there is a file called "default.prop" that seems to get installed.

#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

Do I have to worry about default.prop overwriting a pre-existing file? What is the reason for adding this? Is it for busybox?

Edit: Also, why is update.zip not signed? Do we not have to sign zip files anymore?

Edit2: I signed "update.zip.zip" from the first page and made two versions, one with Superuser and one with SuperSu.

I believe this is just there to add items into the build.prop file that aren't allowable when first building it. Nothing here looks to be of any importance as they are all items that can be enabled and disabled in the system itself.

Here is a newer version of the root package with SuperSu (0.92). Also, the su binary is now installed to /system/xbin by default for the SuperSU package.

Note: default.prop has also been removed from the root packages because it was not being installed anyway.

Hey folks,

I am observing the same error " E: signature verification failed ".

I have tried with update.zip & cwm.....zip files. Same error appeared every time.

I just want to root my tab (P3100) & don't want to flash the ROM. Is it possible by any chance?

Android 4.0.3
Kernel 3.0.8-486861
Build IML74K.P3100DDALE1

Any help is appreciated.

Regards
Paresh

Try one of the versions I just posted. I signed it so you don't get the verification failed message. Either one should be ok. I made one with Superuser and one with SuperSU.
