After you install either ClockworkMod Recovery or TeamWin Project Recovery, the warranty of the Note 10.1 GT-N8013 will disappear. Our method of getting it back is made of two options: either you upgrade the gadget with Samsung’s official firmware or you downgrade the device to the original ROM.

For our guide we chose the TeamWin Project Recovery option. Here is the tutorial which will help you install it on the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8013.

Important instructions

  2. Reboot the gadget in Download Mode and, after this operation is done, you will be required to plug the tablet to the laptop. If ID:COM goes yellow and you see ADDED on the touchscreen, the two devices were connected successfully and you should now go to Odin.

If the ID:COM retains its default color instead of turning yellow, then you need to install the drivers once more and follow the steps all over again, starting with the first one.
  6. Step 6: you will maybe experience something called “infinite boot loop“. The problem can be solved like this. Reboot the Note 10.1 GT-N8013 in Recovery Mode and opt for Factory Reset/Wipe Data and afterwards for Wipe Cache Partition. Next: select Go back and then choose the system restarting option.
