[Q] Need confirmation before I proceed to root my tab :x

Hi guys, I am new to Android and just got my GT 10.1, 3G+Wifi version. I done a few readings online and I really feel that rooting is way better to use the tab compared to non-rooted android devices. I would like to make sure of the steps before I start rooting and overclock it. If I have write or describe something wrong, I will appreciate it if you are able to guide me 
So now my GT’s stock ROM is the original Honeycomb 3.1, without TouchWiz. I would like to root it first of all [Sorry I copy & paste, thanks original author!]
“How To: Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 [Easy Way]
Step1: Download the Zip file Here
Step2: From adb, run the following command (without quotes) “adb push allidoiswin.zip /sdcard/allidoiswin.zip”
Step3: Now punch in “adb reboot recovery”
Step4: Now simply flash the Zip file which you put via Adb, that’s it after running zip file your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be fully rooted now get superuser access.”
 [It’s that easy right? Not the older long steps that I have to do with nvflash ADX Mode or such?]
After I have rooted my tab. I guess it is best to backup my stock ROM beforehand?
Step 1: Download and install free ROM Manager app from the Android Market
Step 2: Launch ROM Manger and tap “Backup Current ROM”.
 [Question, where will my backup-ed ROM will be located?]
To overclock my GT 10.1 device
Step 1: Download the 1.4Ghz kernal
Step 2: Using ROM Manger reboot your device into ClockworkMod Recovery
Step 3: Tap “Install zip from /sdcard” and choose the zip file you just recently downloaded
Step 4: Reboot your device
Step 5: Purchase and download the setCPU Android app (only costs about the same as a cup of coffee)
Step 6: Using any free file manager app unzip and install setCPU
 [I believe I will use openup set CPU, make it to 1.4Ghz and change the setting to “Performance”, my tab will run at 1.4Ghz. If I am to unroot and return the product, it will best be de-clock it by sliding the speed back to 1.0 Ghz. Just that easy, am I right?]
Last but not least, ROM, I believe is like an OS for Galaxy tab? I heard Overclock + Starburst ROM gives the tab really a huge boost?
From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197776"
Am I able to backup my apps (Android market + cracked ones) from Stock and re-install all of them back in the Starburst ROM?
As the installation stats that I will need to do a factory reset of my Tab.
I wonder if anything goes wrong, is there anyway to recover? I was/am an IOS user but super newbie to Android.
I appreciate all the help and advices you have.
Best regards, cheers & thanks!

Ok my friend, Im going to refer you here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 its the sticky in the android development section of this forum. I don't have the 3g device but it looks like you don't need to Odin flash clockwork mod recovery in order to flash .zip files (someone with a 3g tab can correct me on this if I'm wrong.) The root method that is outline in this thread is much easier than the way you have described using adb (you need to have the android SDK development platform installed to use the adb interface.) Make sure to visit this thread and follow the directions for the 3g p7500 model. Also ask questions there too that's what it's for.
I'm almost certain Starburst ROM is not available for the 3g tablet, there is a ROM called Broodcomb. All this info is also in the sticky thread I linked. If your going to use pershoots kernel to overclock keep in mind that kernels are experimental and overclcoking 'on our tab is not entirely necessary depending on your needs. Be sure to read through that kernel's thread and its entirety. (i know its a lot of reading but reading is your friend.)
You can back up your apps using Titanium backup an app that requires root. You can also back up your entire tab using the backup restore function in Clockwork Mod recovery.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
I was reading too but I missed the 3G and 4G version.

Good luck mate! Feel free to pm if you have questions. I'm no dev yet but I'd be glad to help in any way possible.
hie again. I tried to send you PM but I think I am unable to do so. Message didnt appear in 'Sent'. I paste what I was going to send to you again right here.
Thanks for offering help.
I am about to root my GT but I would like to re-assure with you
I am running on retail 3G version so I would have to follow the 3g version of rooting.
--------------------------------------------
RETAIL 3G
[GTP7500] >>> New!!!
1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
rooted already
For CWM
1. After rooting download and install Rom Manager from market.
2. open Rom Manager app and have it install clockwork Mod to your device, you should see your device listed within Rom manager.
3. Done.
----------------------------------------------
I am sorry but what's CWM?
I believe I can root my tab, download Titanium BackUp to backup all my apps?
I can backup my Stock rom using ROm manager I believe?
Oh and, after reading all over, I believe I can just OC my tab but stays on the same ROM?
Cheers and a million thanks!
CWM is ClockWorkMod Recovery

OK, yes flash the root.zip then install Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWR) via Rom manager app. Then reboot into recovery using the Rom manager app. This will allow you to make a backup of your entire tab manually ( i prefer to so it manualy rather than through rom mangager. Rebboot recovery and use the volume rocker to navigate up and down and the power button to select. (this is explained in detail in the sticky section of development thread) select backup and restore>backup This will make a flashable backup you can restore using the restore function the same way you made a backup. You flash zip files by choosing the option "install .zip from SD card."
Titanium backup is an app used to back up user apps so you can restore them should you ever have to wipe data.
You can overclock by installing a kernel (such as pershoots) that allows for you to scale up the processor. You do this with an app called SETCPU. YOu do not need a custom rom to flash this kernel.
Hope this helps.

Hello if you want to have the rom installed on your device the steps to install this rom are "
Step 1 - Download Revolutionary S5 Android 4.4.2 ROM for Galaxy S III to your computer.
Step 2 - Connect and mount your Galaxy S3 USB memory on your computer using the USB cable.
Step 3 - Now copy/paste the downloaded Android 4.4.2 ROM zip file to your SD card. Make sure the file is in the SD card root (not in any folder).
Step 4 - Then turn OFF your phone and disconnect from the USB cable.
Step 5 - Now to get in the Recovery Mode. Switch ON the phone while pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together.
Step 6 - Once you are in ClockworkMod Recovery, select perform a full data wipe by selecting “wipe data/factory reset” Use the Power button to select everything while in the Recovery Mode.
Step 7 - Then, perform a cache wipe by selecting “wipe cache partition”
Step 8 - Now this is optional, but it is recommended to perform a wipe of your dalvik cache as well. You will not get into boot loops or any other errors. From CWM recovery, go to ‘advanced’ and then select “wipe dalvik cache”.
Step 9 - Then go back to the main recovery screen and select “install zip from SD card”.
Step 10 - Now select “choose zip from sdcard”. Using your volume keys, navigate to the Android 4.4.2 ROM zip file that you copied to your SD card and select it using the Power button. Confirm the installation on the next screen and the installation procedure should start now.
Step 11 - After the installation completes, go to “+++++Go Back+++++” and reboot the phone by selecting “reboot system now” from the recovery menu.
after this your phone will take roughly five mins to download
the download link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=4922
sorry if a rule has been broken giving a link
thanks, i got confused because there are lots of information in the topic, like DUALBOOT , Bloat content, Extra's content and Theming content.
Do i have to download all that?

Hello
Just to explain dual boot is only if you want to run two different roms on your phone such as stock samsung rom and s5 sensation, bloat content is included with the rom and during the installtion you are asked what you want to install and what you don't depending on your needs this also happens with the extra content and theming content however more can be downloaded from the developer how ever most other content for a rom that isnt included with the rom isnt really needed.
Ok. I will try that. Thank you

How can I upgrade to MM (23.5.A.1.291) and maintain root?

Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem, but either I'm not searching correctly or I just cannot find the topic that addresses my issue.
I have a Z2 (D6503), still on Android v5.1.1 (23.4.A.1.264). It is rooted, have a locked bootloader and Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip installed.
I want to upgrade to MM (23.5.A.1.291) and maintain root. I have an idea in mind of what I want to do but want to know if it will work or not; is it the right way to do it? If not, then how can I upgrade and keep root?
I also have a Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet that I successfully upgraded to Marshmallow SGP621_23.5.A.1.291 this morning using steps as followed on their forums. My plan is upgrade my Z2 using the same procedure, but with one slight addition (if needed)
In brief (not ), the Z3 Compact Tablet was upgraded as follows:
Step 1. Downloaded latest version of choice using XperiFirm v5. (I prefer the generic Swiss version)
Step 2. Created ftf using Flashtool
Step 3. Created flashable zip file using PRF Creator v1.3 but with slight variation in that the normal SuperSU zip file is not used at all;
Step 3.a. In FTF File field: The ftf as created in step 2
Step 3.b. In SuperSU Zip field: dummy_flashable.zip
Step 3.c. In Recovery Zip field: RecRootV4_combined.zip
Step 3.d. Included (ticked) options: Kernel, FOTAKernel, Modem, LTALabel and Sign Zip
No Extra Files were added and Create was clicked to create the new zip file.
Step 4. Next step was to copy this new zip file as well as the RecRootV4_combined.zip to the SD card.
Step 5. Rebooted into TWRP recovery (must be TWRP, not any other) and then went to the Wipe - advance wipe option and selected to wipe only the Dalvik Cache, Cache and System.
Step 6. Once done, don't reboot but go back to the main menu and then select to install/flash the pre-rooted zip file as created with PRF Creator. Once this install is done, again, don't reboot but select to install/flash the RecRootV4_combined.zip file.
Step 7. Once this is done, the phone can be rebooted. Once the phone is done running the upgrade setup and you can access, you will get a prompt to upgrade Google Play Services. Once this is done, you then simply search for SuperSu and install and then update binaries and reboot. And that's that...
After this the tablet was on MM, maintained all previously installed apps,settings and data and most importantly; maintained root. I want to do the same with my Z2 but with one addition. At step 6 above I want to add another zip file to install called Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip (which I also copied onto the SD card in Step 4) and then proceed with Step 7
I found the Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip somewhere on the Z2 forums during my searches. Not sure if this is even neede for my situation or not.
I'm also aware that there's a RICDefeat.zip in circulation but this was never called for, or mentioned when upgrading the Z3 tablet so don't know if this is needed here with the Z2 or not.
If this is a workable solution I will add the dummy_flashable.zip, RecRootV4_combined.zip and Z2-6.0.1_570_bootloop_fix.zip files if so requested.
Thank you for reading all the way to this point! Any advice, suggestions, confirmations or warnings will be greatly appreciated.
Just install one of the prerooted roms (with recovery) available here and the bootloop fix (just to be sure) then clean cache and dalvik and reboot.
You won't loose anything this way.
If you witness problems after that, you can always do a clean install by doing the same but wiping system and data before the installation of the rom.
Make a full backup in recovery before you start so that you can always roll back to your current situation.
