 Follow this [http://www.iwantadroid.com/2011/07/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way-galaxy-tab-hacks/ guide] with the following notes. You will require a Windows machine :(
-* Turn off USB debugging while rooting, it may lead to problems. You'll be moving files over via ODIN.
+'''Note''': Turn off USB debugging while rooting, it may lead to problems. You'll be moving files over via ODIN.
-* After rooting, every application that requires root access will ask for permission to run, and you will have the option to allow it or not. If you do want it to run, hit 'allow', but be warned, if you do not hit 'allow', then instead of exiting, the application may timeout or hang, or any other unexpected event. If you regret this and do not want it to run, go to the Superuser app you have just installed and remove the permission.
-* Before you go and do whatever fun development you're planning to do, backup your current image with [https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en ROM manager] and remember to copy the image off the tablet and into a safe device! If you wipe your tablet's internal memory, then your backups get wiped too, so to avoid this pitfall, just store a backup now.
-* Another recommended app is [http://matrixrewriter.com/android/ Titanium Backup] which will backup your apps.

-* The default shell on Android sucks. Do better by installing busybox (look on the Android store for a busybox installer). I haven't yet managed to get this working, will update this if/when I do.
