Thank's to all fellas at XDA who first tried out this rooting technique. This method was originally posted via XDA-Developer original thread.
The ID COM is color blue instead of yellow. However I see the "ADDED" message on Odin. What do I do?
ReplyDeleteEverything is A-OK. I get the same thing. It depends on OS and theme.
DeleteI keep getting stuck at Get PIT for mapping... what does this mean?
ReplyDeleteThink you have N8100 instead of N8010 in your Files Requires and Labels? Great article though!
ReplyDeleteNormally how long will it takes for the "Downloading" screen appear on the tablet ?
ReplyDeleteJust rooted mine following these instructions. THANKS FOR PUBLISHING THIS!
ReplyDeleteOne issue to be aware of: my tablet used volume UP instead of volume DOWN to get to the yellow warning triangle screen, then volume DOWN to get to the install screen. If for some reason you don't get to the yellow warning triangle screen with volume DOWN, try it the opposite way. HTH
I tried on Samsung Note 10.1 4.1.2 and successfully rooted :)
ReplyDeleteI root my tablet to use BT/USB Controller program for playing Fifa 14 with my wireless joystick :) It also works fine.... (Request root to control touch screen)
