Guide: Root Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXCMF1 Firmware

If you put your mind to it, you can also root your Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000. And we are providing some help for this plan of yours in the form of today’s tutorial.

Rooting a device, no matter if it’s a tablet or a smartphone, means a huge deal for your device. Because you are going to see just how much you can benefit from additions such as the possibility to easily flash root-only apps, custom ROMs and many great tools.

Requirements

But, to expose your Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 to this procedure, you should absolutely consider a couple of very useful requirements beforehand: use the model that has already been updated to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean build N8000XXCMF1 (we have a tutorial on that procedure), flash USB drivers for the device on the comp of your choice, charge the tablet’s pre-installed battery, create backups via this guide and turn on USB Debugging. Your tablet needs to be the variant which is carrier and factory unlocked before you root it.

The above pre-requisites are, as we’ve mentioned, very useful. And you must follow them accordingly or else you will experience an unsuccessful rooting. One of the immediate cons of this procedure for your tablet: the handset will remain without its warranty. Galaxy-Note-10.1-GT-N8000

But there is a counter attack to this: you can get the default warranty back by unrooting the device. Since we will use a tool called CF-Auto-Root for this guide, we advise you to do this after you’re done with the tutorial: use Triangle Away. This will reset the tablet’s flash counter for you.
