I could not say anything now as I am really shock with the speed of XDA developer in doing their job – rooting Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I believe it have not been a full day since Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was officially launched and yet zedomax, XDA Senior Member already rooting the Galaxy Note 10.1. He has inserted the su binary, busybox, and Chainfire’s SuperSU into the official stock firmware of Galaxy Note 10.1 as written in XDA official website. As you try to root Galaxy Note 10.1 in this way, you are still able to receive the official OTA updates in the future. Just don’t afraid of losing your brand new tablet as we only recommend the safe and reliable way of rooting.
Bad news always come after good news. zedomax had only access to the International GT-N8000 variant of the firmware. If you have different variant, you may need to hold off for the time being. (I assume to be very fast).
Prerequisites:
