Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Rooting

[pele1200]

I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and I started using it. After exploring it for some time, I realized there are too much junk applications pre-installed in it. I think I will remove these applications so that the internal memory is freed for other applications that I want to install in it. I had rooted some other tablets in past. But with such an expensive tablet in hand, I am bit scared that something might go wrong. So if anybody has rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 in past, can he/she tell me how to d it right?

I did the rooting of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 by injecting the ODIN stock firmware into the tablet. This method is good for doing the basic rooting and it will also not increase the binary count of this tablet. Also by this rooting method, you will be able to receive updates for the firmware you have installed. The best part of this rooting is that it will still maintain the warranty of the tablet after it is completed. I didn’t write down the exact steps for this rooting method but, I will ask you to follow it to get things right.

There are many misconceptions regarding the rooting of Android devices. Many claim that rooting a device will lead to loss of data. But let me tell you that this doesn’t happen.

The device retains all the data and the settings in it. It is done just to modify certain files which lock features that will help us to get the administrator’s control over the tablet. So you can root your Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 without any fear of data loss or any other problems regarding it.
