So if anyone is interested I got root on my vzw tab by flashing the same file used for 3g version just head over to the root sticky in development forum and follow the recent posts....p.s. there some issues with cwm supposedly I haven't tried to flash it because I guess it borked some guys tab so you couldn't even get into any recovery so don't flash cwm yet until its confirmed it works...but the Samsung recovery is easy to use anyways so just use that for now
The forum link is below, and the file is under root for 3g version.

I haven't flashed my note since I first got it so I have totally forgot the procedure, does anyone know a very SIMPLE guide I can use please? Thanks
Go into the Android Development section of the Galaxy Note forum and read the post on how to root. Then after you root find the rom you want to install and usually there are instructions on how to do so. You could also use the search button and type in "how to root"

Hi Guy's,
I just bought this tab yesterday and I love it so far ., I just don't like the camera resolution which really sucks compared to other 5MP camera shooter Sphones or tab. Also I get this weird humming/buzzing/kinda pitchy noise when I'm charging my tab with the screen on ,but when it's on standby it just disappears. . Playing 1080p movies sucks too ; kinda choppy .I want to root it, but I search around this forum and couldn't decide which is the best and the easiest way/method to do it.I'm running honeycomb 3.2.1 and does CMW recovery included when I root it? or do i have to install it after?Also I read some threads that I need to make a ROM/files backup but I think it only applies to rooted device right?I saw that ICS+root leak but im kinda hesitant ,they said you may not received future OTA updates? & does it include CMW recovery? Im sorry ist kinda confusing. I hope you guys can give me some tips and advise. Thanks.
First off .. Any modification you do to protected software/rom from acer will likely cause you issues with OTA updates. as far as the noise this has been reported by some people . Some quite bad some only a bit. I would suggest trying to charge it with a different wall plug in your home. maybe another room that is on a different circuit . using a surge protector can also help this. If you bought the tab from a brick and mortar store . You could exchange it very easly.
To know the requirements to root your device you would have to post what rom version you are on.
3.0 - 3.1 you can root with iconia root .. install acer recovery installer then flash recovery from there .Then you can update to one of the latest recoveries from there being cwm or RA .. Ra would be my recommendation
3.2 and above you need to downgrade method to be able to root
Again there are links in this forum and as you say several ways Timmy Deans seem to be the most used .
The above is NOT intended to be a guide on how to do any of the necessary.. but only to confirm what your asking . as your post is very wide open asking alot of information.
Please be specific as to your rom version and what you wish to do . And we can point you in the right direction..
Good luck.. Welcome to forum
Root does not give you CWM recovery - it just gives you root access. You install CWM separately after you root your device. To make backups, you need CWM. Unfortunately you're on 3.2.1 and there's no way to root it and as erica said you need to downgrade first.

Hi Thank you Ms. Erica,
I'm currently looking at possible 3.2.1 root using , Root 3.2.1 V4.7Z; there are instructions that comes with the zip file., I just don't now how to back-up my current ROM . I don't have CMW recovery installed on A500 . So which mean I can't back-up/revert my tab when bad things happen.
What I want is:
1. Root on 3.2.1 which is noob certified( easy)
2.How to download/install CMW reovery before rooting? or after rooting?
3.Preferred Max clock speed which is reliable and usable?
4.App or a tweak that will let me play 1080P videos
5.BEST RATED ROM on A500 (New,Performance,Customization,reliable,no bugs)
6.Ist possible to put a simcard on A500? I think they just put a sticker next to the sd card slot., but i didint removed it .
Thank you.,

Umm so where do I find this CMW recovery app? Also does rooting will void my warranty? My tab is still new
thanks.

Most likely it will void your warranty.
Thor's CWM - install and then you can update it easily from tegraowners.com to the latest version
Drelisdee's recovery - you can flash it on top of thor's if you're not confortable with ADB

For questions 1 and 2, I would suggest reading through this sticky. It has other threads that can specifically answer your questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209988
3. I have had clock speeds up to 1.5GHz on my tablet without experiencing any issues, but your mileage may vary.
4. For 1080p, you should read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184002
5. I currently use Taboonay 3.0.1, which works fine for my needs. But because these are custom roms, each one will have their pros and cons. My suggestion is to look through the Android development thread, read the first few messages of each of the rom threads (usually you'll get what the rom has or doesn't have in those) and download one (or more if you like to try things out like I do). Then go into recovery (once you get it installed), make a backup of your current rom, do a factory reset and flash your new rom.
6. No, it is not possible to put a simcard in the A500. From what I read, there are physical components missing on the motherboard to make a simcard work. The A501 is exactly like the A500, but it has a 3G module built in (which accepts simcards).
why not wait till after the Android 4.0 update to root it?
i for one am waiting to root till after the update and hope some dev's will release a 1 click root app for Android 4.0

I don't think that's too likely to happen, look at HC3.2 +.... You have to revert back to 3.0 or 3.1 to root your tab...
Also the new bootloader seems to be a real mongrel to go around, if that IS the final bootloader that will be shipped or a red herring to distract devs from the real bootloader which may be harder to crack/circumvent which took a good 3 or 4 days now. It also looks like it could be an incomplete bootloader so who knows what the final monster will be like...
thanks
hi guys thank u for the support & ideas.... Ived managed to root my A500 HC3.2.1 with thors v1.5 CMW i havnet installed any roms yet cuz im kinda scared of bugs....well if u guys can suggest a new rom that is bugless & fun to be a daily driver....then im gonna try it . Also Ived try a camcorder patch that will let us record 1080P on rear camera & 720p on front, but only the front camera works so i revert to the old 1's. I wish they will come up something like that or a fix maybe. .
1. Brower fix? It fc sometimes
2.any tweak that will make camera less grainy? Other 5mp phones has a better results than ours ;(
3. Im looking for a hard case for my tab but amazon only sells those folio type ;P
Just follow the instruction in this link, and you will be good to go.
Thanks BD Lover!

it's not rooting, I have done it that way and I'm haven't rooted. It's the way to manually update the software
Do we need a new thread for this? It is explained in the i9020a rom thread. And that thread has all the correct links to the official update files.

This doesn't require ClockworkMod Recovery which the others (I saw) do.
Why don't you post a link to the thread you referred to?
I was not rooted and no Clockwork recovery.
I posted how I manually updated a week ago
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24349654&postcount=154
Some help please.
Guys, I did the update as stated above went very smooth except for the fact that I now have no signal(no data)(wifi only) I can put a APN in but It wont save. However when im in fastboot is says im with ATT as a carrier?, could that be the issue? I thought these files would work with any carrier as im on Rogers here in Canada.
TIA for any help.

Odds are you were on 3.1 when you unboxed but it doesn't matter. The easiest way to root the tab is to use ODIN to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, put the root .zip on the SD card and then flash the root .zip form CWM. Feel free to let me know if you need help!
The standard GT10.1 root zip installs an old version of Superuser that doesn't jive well with ICS. The solution is using Superuser 3.1.3-ARM from the Superuser site, but I have seen so many people struggle with this that I think I might take it upon myself to take the current flashable zip and just create a new one specifically for ICS by replacing the apk. I don't think anyone would mind, would they? There's no rule against doing so as far as I know.
I think I will ask a couple of q's about it and then put that together for everyone if it's cool.

Supercool. I've tried a lot of ways to root Stock ROM ICS, and most methods just make it worse (scrolling recovery, scrolling wake-up screen, etc.), so if you have a fail-safe method, via Odin, or noob-friendly Odin-free (my pref), be my guest, and I will misuse a secondary one for testing that (my wife's, if I survive the wrath)...
You've got my support!

I agree, rolling anything sucks. But I'm...just another noob. *snicker*
What I'm offering is to take that Galaxy_Tab_Root.zip and repackage the flashable zip with the newer Superuser apk...it won't fix the rolling recovery or rolling wakeup of an ICS rom - there's lots of content on this forum that teaches folks how to get around that. I do agree it would be helpful to newcomers to be pointed in the direction of the right solutions so that is something I'd do.
Speaking of the wife's device - I feel you there too.....took me almost 2 months to convince the lady to let me touch it and I just rooted it when she wasn't looking.
You could try this for rooting http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers)

The OP says it's confirmed working on the GT-P7510, but it was just in a response to a thanks post by someone using a 7510. They never said whether it worked or not. I tried it and it failed on my GT-P7510. I didn't try but once though. YMMV
BTW-It did not do any harm at all trying. It just didn't work.
OK guys, here you go:
ICS Root Zip
Here's what I did
1) Cracked open the Superuser flashable zip and the old root zip
2) Swapped in the new update-binary from the Superuser flashable zip and merged updater-scripts so newer su binary file and Superuser.apk are installed - really not that much different from the Superuser flashable honestly
3) zipped it all back up
All of the credits in the original update script and proper credits for su binary/Superuser.apk added to script - I take credit for nothing other than swapping updated files into the old zip package.
NOTE: This particular package is NOT TESTED!!! I am at work and already have a rooted tab so haven't got the environment to test it right now. However, in all honesty, the changes are pretty minor so it should work just fine. If any of you are on stock firmware, give it a go if you choose but don't flame me if it doesn't work. TAKE A BACKUP WITH YOUR RECOVERY FIRST! THAT IS ALREADY A RULE!
Hope this works and saves folks a step trying to root ICS.
EDIT: If someone can confirm that this works I'll probably just add the same link to the existing HOWTO thread for rooting this device. People are already looking there first for direction so we'll make it nice and easy to find.
help please

thank you for your response and offeing to help i would'nt mind if your way works as i dont want to brick it as its only a week old so if you can point me in the right direction to get the files i need and maybe a guide to follow that would be appreciaped thanks .
Head into the Android Development section and check the stickies at the top of the forum. There are wonderful guides there that will point you to the correct recovery.
Make sure you save this ZIP file I re-packaged to the root of your tablet before you start...saves you some time when you actually start the process. You can simply reboot into your newly flashed recovery and then flash the zip file. Let me know if it works for you!! Again, I didn't really change it at all, just tiny changes to the updater script and updated files.
Hi billy...How did things go? Were you able to get rooted?
hello.
i got a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1
i tried to root it but it didn't worked...
so i really need help because i used 4.0.3 root for my tab that have 4.0.4 version...
i will be really grateful if you could help me in any way...
either if i need to delete the old root and how? and how to install a new root and where to get him...
thank you!
Which version?
Is it T-Mobile or ATT? If so use my method. If it is one of the p5xxx versions, just get CWM and then Root through that.
