These are my notes on how to install CyanogenMod on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.  Since I wrote this entry CyanogenMod website has gone off the air.  

OverView of CyanogenMod and Flashing – all the CyanogenMod links are now dead.

• Wiki.CyanogenMod: About
• Wiki:CyanogenMod: Information: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Verizon) ("p4vzw")

Wikipedia: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 – has many useful links at the bottom of the page

Activating a Galaxy Tab 10.1 without a sim card and without Verizon 4G access – The Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 will boot up with a message that it does not have a SIM.  This can be bypassed as follows:

• Touch the top left corner, then top right corner, then bottom left (just above the android controls, and then bottom right (above the status tray) and last volume UP once. All five steps are done relatively quickly and in sequence. Your tablet will spring to life. Video.
