Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 from Google io event gets rooted :-D

I didn't see this posted if it was my bad please delete.

"Well what did you expect when the advance release of the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 came at Google I/O? Of course the thing is already rooted, but the surprisingly simple procedure might have something to do with it, too. The process simply involves mounting the Galaxy Tab’s file system and copying a few files that grant Super User access and you’re done. Doesn’t take more than about 15 minutes, which is about as fast as it gets these days (one-click apps aside). Credite goes out to @_mrbirdman_ and a crew from AllDroid.org. You can find the full instructions at the source link below. Now the question is whether or not Sammy patches this method up before launching to the general public."

One thing though - The Google IO version may be different than the final release product. (SD SLOT PLEASE!) So we better wait and see. Congrats for the lucky people with the limited edition tabs though!

yeah the bootloader was unlocked making it a synch for root. Pretty sure they wanted us to gain super user permissions since it was all developers at the conference getting tablets
