This post would cover the flashing of ClockworkMod Recovery Mod and rooting on Galaxy Note 10.1. The interesting thing about this recovery was that it was out before the product launch was made. The developer responsible for this is zedomax of XDA Developers.
Using this causes increase of binary flash counter and also the warranty becoming void. There is no issue with rooting either because the setup is part of TraingleAway app. We are now going to proceed with the procedure.
Caution
Please note that the description provided below is specifically for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with models (GT-N8000, GT-N8010 and GT-N8013). Do not try them on any other device and expect similar results. The intention here is instructional and we would not be responsible for any malfunction that may occur due to following the instructions. So try them at your own risk. Read what is written carefully and then apply it.
Also before beginning the procedure, make a backup (information) of your important personal data that can include contacts and settings. Disable any antivirus and related security software since they can prevent installation of files. Same applies to Samsung Kies too.
Required Items
Firstly, Galaxy tab with one of the model number specified above. Secondly, you would need a PC with Windows installed. The PC should have the drivers for your device. USB debugging mode should be enabled as well.
The following files should be downloaded
