Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G - Question about rooting? help

[David Santos2]

Will I lose apps and data of the apps if I root? [Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G running 4.0.4] please reply and can you recommend an app [doesn't matter if it requires a computer as long it works with my tab 10.1] that can backup my apps and data?

Hello,

Being a Samsung device it shouldn't erase or wipe your data to obtain root access. But just in case I would recommend downloading Helium from the Google Play Store and using it to backup your apps/data which DOESN'T require root access. Then you can have that backup to restore in the event something does go wrong in the rooting process.

Probably your bet is to back up with helium.
However, every Samsung I have rooted did not wipe my device.

Hmmm, Downloaded Helium app and Helium for Windows followed the instructions from device (PTP mode, Debugging mode etc.) yet still nothing appears on the PC application?

I would just back up the apps and keep the files on your phone. Then root.

You mean manually copy the .apk's and data of each app?

When Helium/Titanium/My Back Up makes a back up of say, Angry Birds, it actually makes a file. That file is what you should keep on your phone, and if you want, have a secondary on your PC.

If I backup the files to the SD card and perform a Factory reset, will it wipe the data on the SD card?

P.S If I root my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G, Is there a way to have Jellybean on it? It highest OS is only until ICS 4.0.4 or speed it up or have a better battery life?

No.

Depending on if you like AOSP, you can possibly have 4.3 on Slim.

Factory reset should not affect your SD card.
AOSP meaning vanilla Android, like a nexus device. Slim is a proper name for a developer like Cyanogenmod.

Do you know a thread that talks about step-by-step guide on how to root Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G running ICS 4.0.4? I would really like to root, and how can I prevent from bricking my tab?

Not if you copy all the files from the SD card to your computer first. Then you don't care. Having a single backup is good - unless the backup gets corrupted. Having 2 backups almost guarantees that at least one will survive.

As far as I know you can only run one at a time.
But here is a good collection of ROMs: Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development - xda-developers
