worked for me BUT 1 problem, it will not reboot without going back to recovery mode and rebooting in Developer Edition, doing so resets the tab.

anyone have any idea how to fix this problem, as it is kind of pointless rooting without being able to reboot without resetting?

You should take it from zero
reformat the tablet installing any ics firmware
download then the firmware that i gaved you the link from xda, and swap the files from the batch file with the new ones from the blue version
run the batch file, and install the blue version.

in 10 minutes you should finish if you fallow the above steps
