This guide is outdated 100%. So I removed the instructions. Currently in the process of figuring out how to take this down.

Ok, I'm sure there is an identical thread, but after scanning for over an hour I can't find any clear answer to my question (Even the sticky has multiple ways to do it with over 500 pages). Each thread and article I read contradicts the last one, stating that this is the best way to root, or this is the best way to root and that the last one I read doesn't work well. Some of them involve flashing with Odin, some are similar to SuperOneClick, and then there is SuperOneClick. I've read that with some updates that this doesn't work and that doesn't work, but then I read conflicting comments and threads that say it did work with this update.
So my question is: what is the easiest, more reversible way to root? I had a really bad experience rooting with my first GSII (had issues with software and then it wouldn't call and then wouldn't unroot and go back to stock) and would really prefer not to flash if possible.
I'm running stock 2.3.4 (for some reason my phone tells me I'm up to date), and I do apologize if I'm restating a question that's already been asked a million times.
Look at the sticky. Will tell you everything
Where's the ban hammer?
Just follow the stickied instructions. There's multiple ways but they all lead to the same thing. A rooted phone.
P.s. I believe entropy has a good thread.

Are they all as easily reversible?
Sorry guys for posting an obvious question.
The best way to root for you is to follow my guide "Installing custom binaries without incrementing the flash counter" (See link in signature)
Follow steps 1 and 2c. That will give you root. It's easy to reverse. Just flash the stock package without root.
If you want custom software, continue on with steps 3 and 4.

This is the route I decided to go with. I had my eyes set on trying out the ICScreweD Rom along with the Siyahkernel but I couldn't get them both to work together using this method for root. I don't know if its just a problem that I'm having or that its just plain out not possible. I'm a noob still so I wouldn't know. I'm currently looking into other root methods so that I can use the Rom and Kernel I mentioned together.
However, using this root method was really simple to use and I recommend it.
The "next generation" scares me because they cant seem to do anything for themselves, always wanting people to do everything for them and they are so impatient.
Thread closed due to several stickys explaining step by step on how to root.
Hi,
I've been going through the following rooting guide for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi only.
[ACS] [How to] Root, Clockworkmod, Flash Roms, Unroot, Tips (11 videos) 3/14/12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1462961
I've successfully proceeded through the guide up until I need to utilise the CWM-based Recovery tool v5.5.0.4.
When the CWM-based Recovery tool loads my screen continually scrolls down so the menu is blurred out.
From my research & querying the forum I found a related comment. This can be found from the rooting guide thread linked above - page 3 from a member called bugs9477. He states that he also had a scrolling screen & believes there is a compatibility problem for some versions of the tab.
As I've a novice to Android tweaking on this tab I'm not willing to continue until preferably qbking77 responds or an experienced forum member advises me on how to proceed forward from my problem.
I currently have a model number GT-P7510. If you require further information regarding my specific tab please ask.
Thanks in advance.
Just follow bugs9477 guide
Thanks MapleSyrup.
I followed the guide from bugs9477 & downloaded ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx.tar.

I'm not sure how to uterlise this file when using qbking77 guide [ACS] [How to] Root, Clockworkmod, Flash Roms, Unroot, Tips (11 videos) 3/14/12.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462961
The file used with qbking77's guide is called recovery.tar.md5 & bugs9477's is called ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx when untared.
Can I use the untared file with Odin?
You don't need to untar the file.
I'm not sure if you're following the guide step by step.
Don't mix bugs9477's guide with S0ckM0nk3y's guide. First do what bugs9477 says and be sure that you are in stock again, then follow S0ckM0nk3y's instructions and check that cwm is working fine.
Thanks MapleSyrup. I wasn't sure if I had to go through the step of unrooting the device first. But once I did that & then went through the rooting process it worked.
Thanks for taking your time to assist me. Cheers.
Sorry to be a pain - one last question.
Do I need to keep the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root archive file on the SD Card after successfully completing the rooting process?

Hello,
Is there a step by step guide that explains how to install twrp, make partitions, how to root, how to flash, and installing ROMs properly?
I've never done something like this before and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm sure there are helpful guides already on this site but I am having trouble navigating as I am new. Thank you.
