[CWM][ROOT] Flash CWM recovery to locked tab with ODIN

---

***WARNING***
Before you do this, remember that it's your $500+ toy and your responsibility, not mine. I'm just this guy, you know?

Here's a quick way to get Clockworkmod on a locked (and even unlocked) Tab:

-Get this ODIN flashable CWM 4.0.0.4 for GTab 10.1 WiFi. This is only for the WiFi model and will boot to a black screen on any other model. If you have an LTE, you must use the image in this post.

-Follow this procedure, but instead of flashing the file listed there use the one you just downloaded

Congrats, you are now running CWM. If you want to return to stock retail use this image instead.



Image creation procedure detailed in the last three steps here.

Nice thx bro. Some really good stuff from you lately

Pokey,
Once I do this mod and have CWM running will I be able to flash files via CWM?
I have a locked bootloader and am not able to select a zip to flash when I am in the stock recovery.

I guess what I am asking is if I do your mod will I be able to use CWM to flash the root zip so I can root my tab?

Thanks

Super thanks!!
It worked like charm in my locked retail 10.1!!! I've also installed su, busybox etc. Titanium backup works with su!!

Thanks

Yes, Just did it!!

Did you have to flash the exploit zip after or were you rooted after odin installed CWM?
Did you have the debugging mode checked when using odin?

I installed the exploit zip after odin using the CWM. I put it in download mode as described.

Has anybody else used this method on a retail tab with the locked boot loader?

I only see one person posting that it worked for them and am wondering if anybody else has been successful?

Thanks

Is it necessary to flash a new kernel after flashing CWM in order for it to stick? Or does this permanently flash CWM?

This flashes CWM permanently. This gives the same result as the other locked root procedure if you ODIN this file then flash the stock rooter .zip.
