[HOW TO] Install CWM and ROOT for GALAXY TAB 10.1
 

I would like to share some information... I have not been able to find a REAL guide that explains (and HAS) everything needed to install CWM and ROOT for the Galaxy Tab. This thread was made by me from a collective information found in many different forums. Credit to all DEVELOPERS. I am just a messenger... jejeje








SAMSUNG drivers (Direct SAMSUNG Download): http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110512000235378/Samsung_USB_Driver_P4_Including_Escape.exe

Download the ODIN_1.85.7z below (Attached to post) - THIS WILL BE USED TO FLASH CWM

Download recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5.7z below (Attached to post) - THIS IS THE IMAGE FILE FOR CWM FOR THE GALAXY 10.1

Download Galaxy_Root.7z below (Attached to post) - THIS IS THE FILE TO ROOT YOUR GALAXY 10.1



1.) Install the SAMSUNG DRIVERS you downloaded above (To be safe, reboot once you have done this)

2.) Connect your tablet to your PC and allow Drivers to install and configure

3.) Extract the ODIN, RECOVERY, AND ROOT 7z onto your PC... Anywhere that you will remember...

4.) Turn off your tablet and restart using the VOL- and PWR buttons (VOL- is the one closest to the PWR button)... Wait until you see the "Downloading" Android Image (Keep it connected to PC)

5.) Press VOL+ to select... If your tablet gives you a warning... READ IT... then press continue by pressing VOL+ (This is a disclaimer)

6.) The tablet will go into DOWNLOAD mode and give the status of CONNECTED!, go ahead and start the ODIN executable from your PC.

7.) Within ODIN, place a checkmark on BOOTLOADER then click on the button BOOTLOADER and select the RECOVERY image that you extracted (the .md5 file).

8.) Press START on ODIN. Once completed, it will show "ALL THREADS COMPLETED. (succeed 1 / failed 0)" If you do not get this, try again as CWM did not flash correctly...

***LETS INSTALL ROOT***

1.) Once you have successfully installed CWM (with steps above) transfer the Galaxy_Root.zip to your tablet... (Uncheck USB Debugging and it should come up as USB)

2.) Reboot into recovery by holding the PWR and VOL-, Press the VOL- button to select RECOVERY (the Android with a box at the top) and then press the VOL+ button as that is the select button on this screen...

3.) Go to "install zip from sd" option and find the Galaxy_Root.zip and flash it.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED CWM AND ROOT TO YOUR GALAXY TABLET!!! jejeje

　

　

NOW GO OUT THERE AND DOWNLOAD YOUR CUSTOM ROMS AND KERNELS!!! jejeje

@dave420wank...

Make sure that you get this message once your tablet is connected to USB under the "DOWNLOAD" mode:

Waiting USB Cable...
==> Connected! Press the [Start] of Odin3!!

(this message should show up verifying that the tablet is now connected and ODIN can do its job)

Also... it appears that in my tiredness last night I MAY have uploaded the recovery.img instead of the .tar.md5 file (which ODIN uses... I have fixed this on my first post...) Please download the file "recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5" and use that file under the BOOTLOADER with ODIN...

Hope this works, please let me know... Thanks and good luck... jejeje
