Actually I haven't  tried it yet 'cause I will got my Galaxy Tab in the middle of July but I want post this for my note. ( If you want to see the picture in every steps or detail please go to the Source.)


1. Root the Tab
  1.1 Get the Tab into Downloader Mode
     -  hold down the Power button to start the device
     -  while you are holding down the Power button, you should see the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo pop up, when you see this, immediately also hold down the Volume Down button
     -  After couple seconds, you will see an Android guy icon pop up, when you see that, immediately let go of both of your fingers/buttons
     -  Volume Up button, finally you will get the Downloader Mode.


  1.2 Install Galaxy Tab driver
     -  Download Link: http://downloadandroidfiles.com/files/get/IwAZDRwKZz/gt-p7510-usb-driver-v1-3-2360-0-escape.exe

     -  click “Start” and your Tab 10.1 will be reverting back to Android 3.0.1

     -   Connect Tab with USB.
     -   Copy over the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip file from the tabroot folder to the root folder of your Tab 
     -   Go to Downloader Mode.
     -   Hit the Volume Down button (the one closer to Power button) and hit the Volume Up button to select the stock Recovery:
     -   Use the Volume buttons to choose “apply update from /sdcard” and hit Power button
     -   Using the volume buttons, choose Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip and hit the Power button 
     -   Next, choose “reboot system now” and hit the Power button
     -   When your Tab 10.1 has rebooted, connect your USB cable from the Tab 10.1 to your computer again and copy over the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip file to the root folder of your Tab 10.1
     -   Next go to the Market and search for “ROM Manager”.  Download and install the free version of ROM Manager app

     -   And choose “Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?
     -   hit “Reboot into Recovery” and “Okay”.
     -   Once you are in ClockworkMod Recovery, choose “install zip from sdcard” (using Volume buttons) and hit the Power button
     -   Choose zip from sdcard and choose the file hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip and hit the Power button
     -   When that is done, we are going to zip the Root/SU files again by going to “choose zip from sdcard” and hit the Power button.
