Hi guys, I'd like to know, is there any way for a stock user to get rooted on the stock ROM? Is there an easy method like the one with ICS? I only want root and nothing else.
Thanks!
PS: I used THIS method to achieve root with the A510 in ICS. Will it work here?
anyone try the old rooting method yet? im interested in doing this as well for jelly bean, still running 4.0.

The method I linked works.
Is it seriously too much work to revert to an older version, gain root, save root, then update and regain root?
If it is, maybe you shouldn't be bothering?
Just Root using Universal Xoom Root, then flash the latest Super User from here http://androidsu.com/superuser/ using CWR I used the Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from then I gained root on 4.1.1
Hey folks..
i bought a TF300T a couple of weeks ago which i updated to Jelly bean so i was not able to root it ..
Now i got it switched to a new tablet because it was " DOA ".. so that was pretty lucky..
Now i have the TF300T with ICS and the Jelly bean update waiting for me..
Anyhow, this time i want to root this thing and install custom roms on it..
Problem is i cant find a guide nor anything on how to root it and update it to jelly bean and still keep root / CWM..
the only guide i found was one done with the US update..
Can anyone give me a guideline to where i should start?
EDIT: Do i have to unlock my bootloader to root?

Ok, When you say that you can't find anything on how to root, or guidelines and etc...
It's false, cause I think that you haven't really search on this specific forum.
On first, click on my sig (the Index for the TF300T/TG) and you will find all you need.
and finally you need to search and read a little. It's easy to post a question, you wait that a kindly person could give you some answer.
if you want to root without JB, don't open your wifi, for stop update by OTA
After unlock your tf300
and use NVFLASH on final

You don't have to downgrade to ICS to flash a JB ROM, you can just flash it over that. Not really understanding your question.
Follow this guide to root/unlock/flash custom recovery, then flash cleanrom in your custom recovery of choice.

Quick question. I can get a good deal on a Galaxy Note Tab 10.1 that is running 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It's a wi-fi version, no carrier. Will I be able to update to a newer OS such as Jelly Bean or KitKat? I should be able to just update over wifi, correct? Thanks - Dan

IMHO, exept for the N8013 you get OTA/Kies updates up to 4.4.2. If you have a N8013 OTA 4.1.2, for 4.4.2 you can flash Gnabo V7 4.4.2 which by the way is much better than stock.
It is a GT-N8013 running ICS. It can be updated then to Kit Kat, without rooting? This would be for my wife as a gift, she doesn't like all that "tinkering" like I do on my phones, LOL.

The N8013 (i have the same) can be updated to 4.1.2 via OTA o Kies. There is no KitKat for this model, and i do not think there will be. Samsung forgot about it. If you want KitKat 4.4.2 than you have to flash a custom ROM which requires a Custom recovery and for that SuperSU and root. But it is worth it. The Gnabo 4.4.2 ROm is amazing, free from Bloatware and running like Speedy Gonzales Its easy to do.

This is not totally true.. You can flash FACTORY Stock rom for the n8010 to this device. Its totally stock Rom with the Boot- loader removed so it does not Alter the ability to go back. THE N810 IS The same device only its sold internationally. this is the base firmware of gnobo rom...
OP this is your best bed right here to keep as close to stock . She will be with this rom

Yes, forgot about that possibility.
I would like to hook her up with a smooth running, no bloat ROM. I realize it's been gone over in some of the other 1000+ page threads but what does the Gnabo ROM give me over the stock ICS?
hope this helps..

Reasons to update
android 4.2
Samsung 2014 apps. including the new s-note Calender email and Others my mind slipped
Removed a Bunch of crap wear. and Useless apps.
Custom recovery where you can do full backups (can root without updating rom)
Moved Notifications to top Like on phone ( i really love this)
I think its a Bit faster then 4.1.2 stock rom.
You can rum 4.2 AND above only apps.
I am sure there are more
Reasons to not update
The new Multi window ui Kinda sucks. But it does work.
Prob more but for me its functioning file
You will no longer get Factory updates.. (ohh wait Samsung ditched us anyway)
Sounds like Gnobo rom would be best for you . But you read the forums and decide for yourself...
I would go for Gnabo Rom, and if you know what you do flash Boefflas Kernel. Top combination.
Would this ROM still be an improvement over 4.1 Jelly Bean? I was mistaken, it is a GT-N8013 running 4.1 JB.

as i said two post up. I listed pros cons for me... I Like the 2014 note pro apps better then the old s- note and note2013 apps..
you can always root it . Install a custom recovery do a anand backup in custom recovery to external sd card.
install the rom and try it.. if you do not like Restore your backup.. You are way WAY Over thinking this simple solution.. Hope you do not mind me saying so..
