you can try other rooters on My Android collections link below, or it may be easier to just flash a semaphore or CF Root kernel with Odin to install superuser app on your phone

Restoring Root access after upgrade

Hi guys,
I managed to root my Galaxy note using the guide provided by Dr. Ketan here (option is CFroot + CWM). It was successful. Few weeks later I upgraded the firmware through Samsung Kies to LA4 and of course lost root access, and can no longer see CWM.
Can someone please help as to how I can restore root access? Would downloading the LA4 kernel from the same link above and running "already-rooted.bat" work?
No..this means you have lost all the rooting access. You got to re install directly rootable Rom via pc odin and re root the device..this is the simplest way i think.

Two things you can do.
Downgrade to directly rootable rom and then root it . Now install Mobile Odin Pro and flash the newer stock rom through it keeping the ever root option so that mobile odin root the newer rom while flashing.
Second. You can follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!
Thanks a lot priyanv and abhisahara. Is there a guide somewhere similar to the original rooting thread showing the downgrade + flashing using Odin?
yes, download it from last link on my signature
- Start with ' I have non rootable ROM' that guide you step by step from downgrade to updating ROM

[Q] Root-Problems after Firmware Update to 2.3.6

Hey, perhaps somebody can heIp me.
Updated my Galaxy Tab 7 today from Firmware 2.3.6 (other details I don't know) to
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernel-Version 2.6.35.7
Buildnummer GINGERBREAD.BOJU3
over Samsung Kies.
The Tablet was rooted, but after i confirmed the Firmware Update the Root wasn't there anymore.
Tried to re-root the Tablet with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse & DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su_1_
but both didn't work.
Anyone got any Idea how to re-root or fix this. Got no Backup so resetting is the last option.
DooMLoRDs Tool said that he can't wright the SU File true no Write-Rights.
Superuser 3.3 is still installed and can't be uninstalled true no root rights.
SuperOneClick will not finish the Root and stops mostly on Part 7 of the procedure.
Tried to rooted with debugging and tablet on.
Thank You

Start by telling US which model is your galaxy tab 7.
There are many variants.

ahh sorry ; PT1000
Try chainfire root 3.3

I used CF-Root V3.3 from chainfire. It works for me.
You must flash this via Odin in Phone slot.
Uploaded for you
Good luck

but before one question.
what will happen to my installed apps; do i need to reinstall everything after kernel update or will hopefully nothing happen with the installed software. like i said i have no backup atm.

No, kernel is just the kernel it doesnt affect your installed apps.
Anyway, I wouldnt bother with stock GB, I would recommend Overcom rom if you want GB and not ICS/JB.
thanks 4 helping. Installed a new Kernel with Odin3 8.5.
System is now rooted.
Perhaps I will update to ICS or JB later.
greetings
2.3.6

That is because 2.3.6 is not direct rootable. You need to follow Dr. Ketan's guide to achieve root...

This what you need to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756030&postcount=2
You have to flash a pre rooted firmware in ODIN PC and the from there you can flash your current firmware with a CF-Kernel with Mobile Odin your kernel is listed in there. Just read carefully.

If your plan is to update to JB you can do that straight foward and then root by flashing philz kernel. That is way easy.
Thanks guys for everything!

Is there a link to upgrade to jellybean and then root it? Or a step by step on what to do from here to ??
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for a noob question

You could progress from that by installing ROM Manager, installing CWM, then installing what ever ROM you like. Odining back to stock isn't required, but you can do it if you want. Personally:
Odin back to a GB rom with Bootloader from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Grab Corn Kernel or something for that version with CWM, Odin that.
Boot into CWM, flash whatever ROM you like.
