For that, you need to perform the pre requisites first; the same are being explained and detailed below so check it out.

• Backup the Galaxy Tab 10.1 data; save the messages, contacts, internet settings, EFS, market apps and everything else you need to because a full wipe of the internal system will have to be applied a little bit later (don’t worry I will show you how to do it).
• Perform a Nandroid backup if possible.
• Slim Bean is not an official Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for your Tab 10.1 so Samsung has nothing to do with this operation.
• Because of that you first have to root your tablet and install a custom recovery image (CWM recovery for example) on your device.
• Do the root first, as the internal system will be unchained. Furthermore, the recovery image can be flashed only on a rooted system.
• Once you start the root operation, the warranty of your tablet will be void. That’s why you must follow a step by step guide like the present one; don’t apply things by yourselves because you can end up in owning a bricked Galaxy Tab 10.1.
• You can restore the warranty by downgrading to the stock ROM or by flashing an official software on your Tab 10.1.

Those were the complex and risky preparation tasks, but if you have completed them you are almost ready for the update procedure. Before that, you also have to apply the general pre requisites, which can be performed faster and easier than the ones explained above. For easing your work I have explained them on a list, just like the previous one.

• You need to use a Windows running computer with Internet connection enabled, your tablet and its USB cable.
• For avoiding the unpleasant situations, first of all uninstall or deactivate the security protection that is being installed on your computer and Tab 10.1.
• Because of the same reasons, take your tablet and check its battery status: if you notice that the power left is less than 50% go and charge the battery; else you can skip this step.
• Enable the USB debugging option on your Galaxy Tab 10.1.
• Complete this tutorial only if you own and want to update the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 model number GT-P7510 or GT-P7500 with this variant of Slim Bean Jelly Bean 4.1.2 custom ROM as the firmware works only for the mentioned devices.
