Does this work for the 10.1v? I wish there was something this easy for the 10.1v. I've tried to root my 10.1v so many times with nothing even close to success.
Super Easy Root Method for Tab 10.1 (Noob Friendly Guide)
- Thread starter this_is_nick6
- Start date
hmmm maybe if someone could see if this root file is in fact different, maybe you could rename this to update.zip and flash it using the same method? I literally took the plunge and did it on mine using the root file I found, so if you're willing to take the risk it would be great info to add to the post if it is successful.
Most of the .zip contents appear to be the same or similiar, so you could even take a chance and flash the file from my post. Make sure to let us know if you decide to go through with it! If it works for you, that means all of the 10.1 models (previous to the Tab 2) are rootable using this ridiculously simple method.

I have the VZW and I try the up vol and pwr button but it doesn't give me a choice and goes straight to download. Anybody have a solution or am I just doing something wrong.
Thanks

Another post had the answer.
Release the power button only as soon as the logo appears.

I don't see why it wouldn't since it works on every other variant. No one has verified TMO tab in the comments yet (I don't think?), give it a try

Yes it works in 3g models.
If this is some sort of duplicate post, please delete it, but I could not find something like this anywhere. I want to share my method for gaining root access + installing CWM recovery on the Rogers Galaxy Tab 10.1. This should work on other variants, those who can confirm please comment and I'll update the post.
Guide was written by myself, but I grabbed the root file from this post on Android Authority. Props to whoever the original owner of that file is...
The post in android authority is pretty much the same as this one:

The post on xda is older and I just want to give propper credits to lorrdeff07! Everybody who used this method should go to his thread and thank him!

unfortunately the recovery installed will not able to install the CM( nightly as it require clockwork mod recovery 0 5.5.0.4 where as on rom manager is 5.8.3.1.
Anybody have any idea on how to change recovery without ODIN. My usb connection is very unrealiable.

Download the recovery update.zip for the 4g version from the original post and replace the recovery in that zip with pershoot's. Then flash from stock recovery.

this method worked on my rogers 4g tablet.
i was wondering if anyone else has problems with downloading from the market. i tried to download pandora and an error came up saying its not available in my country. how do i change that? maybe a different rom? do the roms for the p7500 work on p7500r? or are there conflicts? can someone send me in the right direction if this is the rom place? i tried googling it with no luck

Update:
Now confirmed on WiFi model AND Verizon Model (thanks Rockaholic94 and badogg for testing).
Rooting:
1. Download this file and rename it as "update.zip"
2. Put the update.zip file on the root of your tab's SD card
3. While your tab is powered on or off (doesn't matter), hold the volume down (volume up on VZW Model) + power key to bring up the option to select recovery mode or download mode.
4. Choose the recovery mode option (box picture) by hitting the volume down key then selecting with the volume up key.
5. Now that you're in the factory android recovery menu, choose "Install update from SD card".
6. Highlight the update.zip file using the volume buttons and the power button to select.
7. Confirm Superuser is in your list of apps
Let it do its thing and it is now rooted.
Installing Clockworkmod:
1. After confirming the Superuser app is installed and you in fact have root access, download ROM Manager from the Play Store.
2. Open ROM Manager and choose "Install Clockworkmod Recovery"
3. Select "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" to make sure the right recovery is installed, and wait a minute or so as it installs.
4. Towards the end, ROM Manager will prompt you for root access to complete the install.
Congrats, you now have root access and CWM Recovery.
This was tested on my 3G device running 3.2 for the record, but it should work on 3.1 also. Please let me know what devices you've been successful using this method for, and remember the "thanks" button too.
Guide was written by myself, but I grabbed the root file from this post on Android Authority. Props to whoever the original owner of that file is... Also, not responsible for bricking devices etc etc etc.2I'm not a huge ODIN fan myself. I only have experience with ODIN from my 7" Galaxy Tab but I like simple methods that don't require a computer. I completed this method by simply using Dropbox to transfer the root file to my device, the built-in file manager to rename the file, stock recovery to flash it, then CWM via ROM Manager from the Play Store......... NO WIRES 2
Actually this does not work with ICS but there are other threads that have root methods for ICS. Also a few YouTube vids on rooting GTab with ICS.
Sent from my SCH-I905 using XDA Premium HD app2Method no longer works in Stock ICS
Stock ICS no longer allows update.zip (default /mnt/sdcard [=/sdcard] location) to be loaded via Stock Recovery main menu update from external (SD card).
External storage is defaulted to "/sdcard", which is not the external USB Host drive (standard recovery mode, that is), neither does it seem to be the highest non-root accessible location. I will probably go the ODIN/CWM route now, as this super easy method now seems to be locked out by Samsung's finest.
EDIT:
ODIN/CWM did not work out, as first a scrolling CWM menu, and then, after pershoots bootloader installation a scrolling wakeup screen.
/sdcard is present, (soft)link to /mnt/sdcard (or vice versa, still have to look) when ICS is running, but it looks like it is only a temporary link, created during boot-up. Standard recovery of ICS does not see /sdcard, or maybe looks for another filename (i.e. not "update.zip") to load. I am not sure, but the end-result is that standard recovery in ICS does not allow for this method to work as described.
