So I followed a guide found here on Xda for my 3G Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to root it after I upgraded it to 4.0.4. I had to root it due to some issues I kept having and since I have root explorer and want to be able to use it.
Apparently I can boot up fine into CWM but I can't get SuperUser to work. What can I do? I need a hand.
This is the guide I followed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
If you need any information feel free to ask. I followed the guide down to the letter. If anyone has a clue at what I should have done please tell me.

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G from Bell yesterday. As well, yesterday I bricked it. I blame myself for not reading enough on the device. I assumed the wifi root process was the same.
Today I got it replaced. I noticed that the model number for the Bell version of the Tab 10.1 is GT-P7500M.
Can anyone confirm which method I should use to root this device? And hopefully get CWM working as well.
I have searched the forum, and google to find an answer specific for Bell, but with no success.
Thanks

Bassboy_pete. I just got a Bell 4G GT 10.1 also. Did you ever figure out how to root the GT-P7500M?
Could you let me know i've been looking everywhere for this info and all google brings up are your posts.
i have the same model. rooted. Bell is no different.
Google [root galaxy 10.1] and you should find how. Very easy.
I've followed read this entire thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 and read the 30+ pages somewhere in there someone who had a rogers 4G model said the 3G method worked. I also read somewhere else on XDA that a guy with the Bell GT-P7500M tried the 4G method and made the device a paper weight. I also really want to backup this device before a mess with anything but as far as all my research i am doing CWR is the way to back it up.
yours or anyone help is appreciated. Not looking for a handout on what to do step by step just a push in the right direction. I won this device and want to keep using it but some things piss me off about the Bell version (really must GPS Nav have to stay on the device) also can't just return it to bell if i brick it since i won it and don't have a reciept.
UPDATE, Just did the CWM Recovery. Worked great. Just finished a backup. I'll try the 3G root as mentioned in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312538 then i'll update again.
Not bad for my first Droid Device just got it 3 days ago.
UPDATE: Used the 3G method for GTP97500M (Bell Mobility) works great.
also plunged in thinking I had read enough and not fully understanding all the variants, so ended up following some of the root instructions posted on xda which did not work.
Solution was this thread for Team Overcome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275751
which has a stock restore, the correct odin and bootloader files and then both the Overcome Rom and a CWM zip.
All installed nicely, system rooted and custom rom installed.
I am on Rogers with the Tab 10.1 and my Galaxy S is on Bell.
I then flashed the OC kernel from doridbasement which also works fine -- just catch which version you are on
anyways, early days but these did work, others did not for me

hi guys,

anyone know?
thanks
i have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note I717m running android 4.1.2
i have looked everywhere trying to find a way to root it but i can't find a thread or site (via google) that would explain to me exactly what i need to do to root my Note specifically. I am a beginner at rooting but i have rooted my samsung galaxy s3 (only because the rooting sites were abundant and very easy to understand)
All i need is to know if there is a way to root such an old phone running the latest software, and if there is i need to know how.
thank you
Get latest twrp .tar from og dev section to use with Odin.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin, flash recovery, and since you have the Canadian version there is an extra step as there is a script in place to overwrite a custom recovery if you boot directly into the os,
So, right after the Odin flash, button combo into recovery and factory reset, then boot into android.
Now reboot into recovery and when you go to boot again from there it should see that you're not rooted and ask if you'd like to do so.
Thank you for your quick reply!
I however dont know what you mean by twrp.tar and where i can find it
I would need links to sites and a guideline if possible because when i rooted my s3 it was one step after the other i didn't really understand all of it and it was a long time ago
Thanks again, hope I'm not asking for too much here I'm new to this forum
Its in the development section for the i717. Go to TRWP recovery. Click the link to the site and MAKE SURE ITS FOR THE I717. Download and do what stud said.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
it worked!
thanks alot!
After a lot of consideration, I finally decided to buy Galaxy Mega 6.3 (I9200).
This is my very first android phone.
I'm interested to install viper4android on my phone, but It required root access.
I read a lot of tutorial about how to root I9200. Since this is my first experience with android, I had a hard time to understand how to root a device.
Finally I got a glimpse of how to do it (still haven't root my device yet).
Since root mean 'kiss goodbye to my warranty', I'm thinking of how to restore it.
Then I discover that you can unroot your phone.
But the question is how?
I'm searching many website and tutorial, but none that give step by step of how to root my I9200.
I only find that to unroot your device you need to flash stock rom. Like I said, this is my first time, so I don't have any clue how to that.
Could anybody give me a link about step by step how to root/unroot my I9200?
Thanks before...

If you have Samsung Galaxy S3 I assume you have followed this guide:
How to root Samsung GALAXY S3 (i9300)?
If for some reason this tool doesn't work with your device or your current firmware you could use VRoot tool.
You can also check this guide too:
[One Click Root] How to Root Android Devices (VRoot) Method
You can always use Odin to flash a recovery and root your official rom with a SuperSU zip and after that you can reset your flash counter by using Triange Away app (for warranty purposes).
You can check those guides too:
