thanks for the answer
then what does the root do?
Rooting allows you admin rights to phone file system. Rooting will allow you to install apps that need to access file system eg
- Titanium Backup : Full backup and restore of apps n its data. If you use MyBackup Pro - rooting will allow you full restore automatically not one by one selection
- AdsFree to eliminate those nasty ads popping out
- install fake telco apps so that you can access more free and paid apps - eg market enabler or marketaccess
- Root explorer example so that you can edit system files, eg editing permission.xml to have ext sdcard able to be written in phone
- Install Clockworkmod recovery : do full rom backup plus restore, flash kernel, flash rom, flash modem etc
To root or not is entirely up to each user. Put it this way, rooting will enhanced your Tab usage with much more additional features - it is unleashing the hidden power of a 3000 cc car behind the 2000 cc car engine

1 more question..
if I use the USB adapter..can I connect my 1tb external hard drive to it??
Your hard drive must be FAT32 format and you need additional power for the USB harddrive ( some do not have such features). I have tested up to 500gb drive only

Hi all,i'm new to this tab and android.b4 is nokia user....been read through all pages.got something wanna ask.
1) if i root the tab for write to external sd,when upcoming upgrade,i still can get it?or need to unroot back?
2) need expert guide for the procedure,no very dare to root because front page warn "at your own risk".will it spoil the tab if root went wrong?
Thanks

ROOTING can never and will never damage your Tab. NO files will be deleted. It is a very extremely safe process. The chance you will damage your tab is I would say one in several hundred million. Just make sure your Tab is at least 50 % charge before doing it
Rooting will still allow auto OTA update provided you are still on official rom. If you have installed a custom rom, you will not get OTA updates. Only way is to flash back using Odin in PC a official stock rom
Refer my blog how to root - it is extremely easy - a no brainer I'd say
