There are no long steps. Most of the roms keep you root after installing them, but just in case if you dont have root after installing a rom, just use Universal Androot because it's very easy and it's one click root(happens very fast).
I've already rooted using universal androot

All of the AOSP based ROMs (like CM) give you root automatically.
The issue you have is that you need a custom recovery in order to install the ROMs. These custom recoveries (OpenRecovery and drivatives) will allow you to do all sorts of neat stuff.
So, no...you don't need to re-root once you install CM7.
Actually, how do you lose root?
It's happened a couple of times that I run Titanium backup and it tells me that I'm not rooted.
It's an easy fix. I just goto AOR and do it again.
But I'm just curious as to how I can get unrooted like that.
But do we need to root for open recovery to install?

No root is necessary on a milestone (may be different on droid).
You just need to flash the vulnerable recovery and the install OR.

On most phone, root is necessary to install custom or vulnerable recoveries.
On milestone, there is no need to do this as this step is taken care of by the SBF flashing in RSD.

That link doesn't work.
Anyway, I remember that I did not have to root the phone.
The first step was applying the vulnerable sbf.
Then I was able to load androidiani openrecovery.
Once in open recovery, I could apply a ROM without root.
Heck, I think root is just an afterthought during this process.
Root is just another menu item in AOR.... the hard part was getting into AOR in the first place.
For whatever mysterious reason, I lost root a couple of times over the last couple of weeks.
CM6 didn't stop working. Titanium backup did stop working but it was nice enough to tell me that I was no longer rooted.
No big deal. I just went into AOR and rooted again.
Edit: No wonder I had deja vu... I kinda mentioned that last bit on page 1 already...
Yeah for some strange reason the link isn't working I'll try and fix it if possible

I used the root tool at unlockroot.com. I am fairly new to this. I couldnt get the root to work using the zergrush exploit for my specific firmware. I was granted superuser access so I am assuming it went well. I guess my main question is how do I manage/add roms to my N7000? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This program doesn't work on the last couple versions of 2.3.6, the exploit was patched.
I don't see anyone really trying to find exploits in GB with ICS right around the corner
So does that mean that the root didn't work? I have super user access. I need a good way to manage rooms. Maybe I should just revert it back and wait on ics?

Check once your superuser access by installing any app that requires it like Titanium Backup. If everything is fine you should also be having CWM in ur apps and if u dont have it then flash the CF kernel specific to your firmware from this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
After you are done with all the check then you can go hunting for the available roms on GB and leaked ICS in this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
Read the posts....and the features u get in each rom and flash the one you like
Explore and make the best out of your already awesome Note!
Thanks! That helped a lot. I ended up rooting with galaxynoteroot.com instructions and I am running criskelo ics rom now and its great.

XDA Members:
With the newly released ICS update for the GT-P6810, some users will inevitably update their devices and somehow lose root in the process. For those unlucky users, downgrading to HC for root and then re-upgrading with MobileODIN is no longer the only option. There are some options for obtaining root via stock recovery instead of ODIN, but I saw that a few people were having issues. Probably not a problem with the method, but variety never hurts. So here is a VERY direct method of rooting your GT-P6810 on ICS. Please feel free to simplify or improve upon this method and post it here. Progress helps everyone.
WARNING!!: The following steps MAY trigger the counter on your device. However, they didn't trigger mine.
Prerequisites: ODIN or Heimdall
Notice: Some basic flashing experience is required for this. Review the steps FIRST!
DISCLAIMER: The only guarantee I make is that this worked for me. You run the risk of tripping your device's counter, corrupting your device, or bricking your device. If you don't know what you're doing, this is not for you. I accept no responsibility for ANYTHING that might arise as a result of following this guide!
1.) Download the following files:
a) CWM for P6810: http://db.tt/B6mTm9fd CREDIT: locerra
b) root for P6810: http://db.tt/kcuvYG5k CREDIT: mashkuov
2.) Put your device in "Download Mode" and connect to your PC.
3.) Open ODIN and verify that it sees your device.
4.) In ODIN, click "PDA" and select the CWM *.tar you downloaded.
5.) Make sure that you haven't selected to format/partition your device and flash the *.tar.
6.) Upon completion, your device should reboot. Copy the root.zip to your device, and then reboot into recovery.
7.) In recovery, flash the root.zip and reboot.
8.) You should now have root in ICS!

It's just the recovery; not the kernel. So it shouldn't. It didn't increase mine. But I'm not making any promises.

XDA Members:
Okay fellas. Just a quick survey. How many of you were able to successfully execute the steps in this guide without difficulty? If problems were encountered, what were they? Did anyone trip their flash counter by using this guide? Did anyone soft or hard brick by using this guide? I'd really like some feedback.
On a second, but similar note, how easily were you able to follow the guide? What do you think I should add to it or remove from it? Should I make it into a full, click-by-click, newb-friendly guide? Should I trim the fat and simplify it? Or should I leave it as-is? I'm flying blind here. I've written small, simple, easy to follow guides for stuff like "build.prop" edits in the past; but I've never written a guide for something that involved ANY kind of flashing. So any critique would be very welcome. I've always felt that the biggest of XDA's strengths was its community's standard practice of openly sharing. So now that I've shared my guide, I would like to, in GPL fashion, open it up to corrections, additions, modifications, and improvements. So if you've got anything, anything at all, please go ahead and post it.
I thank you all for your time and hope this guide has been a help.
Thank you,
Edward (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

I didn't have root before,
So this method is the best at the moment for anyone running stock ics
Steve_max said:
Another option is just to flash ICS using MobileOdin with the EverRoot option. You may even unselect the "recovery" partition when doing so, and you will keep both root and CWM. Of course, this doesn't help if you've already flashed with Odin, but for those who haven't upgraded yet, I believe this is the best option.
YMMV, I'm not responsible if your device melts down and conjures a demon, etc etc etc.

This guide is for people who are ALREADY on unrooted ICS. How is your suggestion in any way helpful to those people? Unchecking recovery is only helpful if you use CWM. If you use stock recovery, you'll still have stock recovery. Also, MobileODIN doesn't always preserve root. If preserving root fails during the update, there's nothing MobileODIN can do. You'll have to re-root yourself. I've seen this happen first hand. Usually, you have to downgrade, re-root, and then use MobileODIN to upgrade again. This guide eliminates the need for that. If you upgraded and lost root, FOR WHATEVER REASON, this will get it back quickly, and easily.

Not everybody is already on unrooted ICS. I know I searched for ways to root the tablet even before I bought it; it's very conceivable that people who are thinking about upgrading to ICS will search for this. If they have root on HC, there is no need to lose it and reinstall. I just pointed this out (and MobileOdin is really one of the best Android tools out there, among with Tasker and TB).
About this corruption, I've personally never seen it happen, and I've flashed more ROMs on my S2 using it than it's healthy. Even if it happens, what do you lose by trying the easy route first (and, if needed, reflashing root through recovery)?
Sorry if I offended you in any way. All I wanted was to help.

You didn't offend me. This is a simple guide for achieving root on the 4.0.4 build for the 6810. This is XDA. If someone searches for a way to update a Samsung device, they're going to find MobileODIN. If XDA were a department store, I could spit in any direction and hit a MobileODIN thread. Don't overcomplicate things. If you're on unrooted ICS, this is as easy as it gets. Furthermore, everroot is a paid option. My method is free. There's no need to go buy an app for an option that simply isn't needed in this case. If you want to write a MobileODIN update guide, go ahead and do it. This is a development thread for a very specific scenario; not a thread to compare preferred update methods. Take care.

**Edit**
Since my issue is relating to not being able to get into Recovery mode at all, i'm going to move it to a separate thread.
P.S. your instructions were very clear and made perfect sense (having previously rooted a SGS i9000), however linking to Odin in step 2) and specifying how to get into recovery in step 6) might be useful for newer users?
Mine didn't work....I used mobile Odin pro to flash ICS ...I used ever root option while flashing to ICS but for some reason root didn't work ...
I have only tried to root without CWM so it threw me signature error...I have lost my USB cable so I cudnt flash CWM by Odin using PC

I was given a Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9 LTE/sgh-i957 about a year ago for free and it has been pretty good. It is pretty slow compared to new tabs and I don't really need the LTE. My question is should I root it and run a custom ROM or just buy a Nook HD+ for $149.99? I can use hotspots on my phone from anywhere so the internet connection isn't an issue. I am just curious if I will even notice a speed increase on the sgh-i957 with a cleaner non-bloated ROM at it's age.
What version of android are you running now? If it's gingerbread you'll see a large change in performance if you go to ics. Cm10 and ics run about the same on my i957. I'm rooted.

To root do.the following:
Download twrp onto your computer http://d-h.st/dx3 Flash it in Odin, PDA
Download superSU-busybox on to your phone http://d-h.st/vjq. Flash that with twrp
You will be rooted. I've assumed you are familiar with Odin and flashing custom roms.

Best guide for Odin is in the i727 skyrocket development forum. There is a sticky by vincom that is a return to stock / Odin guide. Just follow it with the tab specific files. I'm on my mobile or I'd link you to it. Twrp, you flash just like you would a stock Rom. Pay attention to what what options are checked in Odin. You only want auto,reboot, never re-partition
