I just took the video and turned it into a boot animation.

I am not responsible for your impatience to read on how to properly set up a boot animation. So if something happens, your fault.

Nice job man, I think I might use this for my boot screen. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] elkniwcire:
My stock unrooted wifi galaxy tab 10.1 just received an update OTA that seems to have done nothing except LOCK my unlocked bootloader. It was only 11.2mb and during the update process my tab went into download mode, then to a command line looking interface with commands related to encrypting bootloader. I no longer have the unlocked symbol upon boot up. Look out for update version UEKG4!

EDIT: Google videos app has been loaded as well, but not in the market, just the app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Danstek:
Very odd. What region are you in? I just did an update check and there was no update available.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] elkniwcire:
I am in the US. I cant find anything else that it may have updated. No extra apps, features, or apparent bug fixes. Just locked bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
wow, thanks for the warning.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pandamaja:
Yes, thank you for the warning. As a heads up to anyone that has even an inkling of interest in rooting your tablet. DO NOT TAKE OTA's until they have been looked through by the devs. Just look at the evo 4g forums on here :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] b00sted:
I guess I am confused, my tab was/is locked but I have CW recovery and a custom rom. So what is the big deal?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] texasredrider:
Yeah, i was wondering the same thing.

Just because, i guess....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mikescorei:
Ota update is online, just checked and is showing in the update section. I'm in Romania on a US retail tablet EKF3 ROM!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bossei:
BTW how do you tell if your device is locked or unlocked?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ccapasso:
If it is unlocked, there is a picture of a Lock during bootup and it shows as open.

If it is locked, then there is no picture at all.

(at least this is how my 2 different tabs showed up)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] capufo:
After reading your post I went to settings /updates and there it was just like you said 11.2mb update, I'm afraid to update since mine is unlocked a well also it says to remove any pulses short cuts from the main page so Google video could get installed. Update or no to update?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] droxid:
Wait.let the devs look at it. No point in losing unlocked boot loader for google videos.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] capufo:
I updated it :( now I'm locked and no new app was installed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kh0annguyen:
So why does it matter if you get a locked bootloader again? I because as far as i know... it doesn't!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
Locked bootloaders will limit what can be flashed to the Tablet, we can get custom roms that are based off samsung sources.

Locked bootloaders will not be able to flash TABUNTU unless poitee can find a way around it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
im not trying to be rude or anything guys. But you should really look into what a locked and unlocked bootloader really is. If you haven't noticed, we can flash cmw. That means we can flash roms, kernels, and root. There is no reason to be worried at all. It makes no difference to have a locked or unlocked bootloader unless you wanna flash something that needs a different bootloader. Which there isn't much right now except for tabuntu.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ansextra:
I'm in NJ and showing no update available.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MtnDewMan:
Received the update. CWM and root were retained.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rogconnect:
Mine is the retailed version from Amazon and it's came with the unlocked bootloader. I flashed [ROM][STOCK][EUR] W/ TOUCHWIZ Galaxy Tab 10.1 ....and rooted.

And now I flashed Calkulin's_GT-P7510_HMJ37.UEKM7_ROM ....somehow it Locked bootloader. Well, i am not worry about it. I am happy with my 10.1 with Touchwiz and rooted too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EvoXOhio:
None of the roms here can lock your boot loader. Its physically impossible.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rogconnect:
well...now I don't see the Unlocked icon when booting...maybe it's still unlocked....I don't know....how to check whether it's unlock? beside the icon during booting.

btw...I had stucked on bootloops b4 and fixed it with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1167250

It means one less method for brick recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
How can I confirm if I am now locked?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
you will see an unlock image at the Samsung boot screen. Your locked if you do not see anything
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pitchshifter:
has anyone been able to ascertain why in the world there are locked and unlocked retail Tab 10.1s floating around, doesn't something seem odd about that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
Anyone have the OTA file from this update or a link to it? I think there's a lot of good that can come from figuring out how it gets locked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pitchshifter:
...from the other thread on the update it looks like it un-roots you and changes the boot graphic but CWM stays intact and you can still re-root. I'm going to try it now.

Edit: Ok, I keep getting a processing error

I'm stock updated rom / CWM 4.04 / root / pershoot's latest CFS kernel
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
I'm aware of what it changes from the user perspective, but I'm curious what it does to cause the bootloader to lock it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
I don't think it unroot the tab. I'm still rooted after the update.

EDIT: Screen capture attached.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Is there any system check or file that can confirm lock?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
I dont know why there is a difference but i did loose root but could re-root. ??????
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
How can i aquire this for you?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
I root using the method mentioned on the website, prior to the update. The website also has other tutorial for unrooting, recovery, etc.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
If nvflash works, then it is unlocked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] skeeterpro:
Just a thought. I see where the new Transformers are showing up with locked bootloaders which seemingly now prohibit unbricking via NVFlash. One can apparently still root but not via NVFlash.

Could possibly this be something similar with Samsung since Asus appears to have done it?

Just a thought......
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Well I must be locked now....no padlock and after another reboot I am seeing "Movies" in the Market....not just that "Videos app".

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Forgive me, I have not used NVFLASH before. I just downloaded it but what's a basic cmd I can attempt to validate it is working or not?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bossei:
I agree 100% Not sure what's going on with that either.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Well, if this latest update is locking them all up then I would gather they are "correcting" this difference. Perhaps this update was needed before the official TW upgrade? I think we will know soon enough.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thatdude90210:
I'm using one of the TW rom's posted in the dev section (this one, and I just noticed that I have the "movies" selection too. I don't think I had it until I started one of the two "video" apps in my apps selection, and clicked on an software agreement button. So for those of us on TW, there's no reason to do this update at all then.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
If you can get past step 2 successfully in this post without seeing the "Command send failed" message, then your Tab is unlocked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeremydk:
Found the update, nevermind
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] OgremustCrush:
FYI, my unlocked tab running the leaked km7 rom is now showing movies under market, so this new update may not be directly related to that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
I get through all of section (2) with the drivers and all looks great until that last step with the first real cmd:

C:\nvflash>nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go

Nvflash started

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)

...so I suppose this write failure confirms I am now locked. Am I on target?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeremydk:
You are currently locked, correct. I'm tearing through the update with a hex editor as we speak.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Before I get the chance to thank you for whatever you may or may not find in your endeavor let me encourage you by stating "you are da man!"

I wonder if at this point there is a way to roll everything back though I don't know of a reason (at this moment) why I need to. Since CW and Root is good I am perfectly happy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] guih:
im in florida and still dont have an update available
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Just an FYI - If I roll back to a CW backup I get the old EKF3 build but the padlock will not reappear. I expect that 11.22 MB updated specific boot code as you already knew. Nice to see I can roll back the patch to the OS level still.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dragonforce11:
Hey guys, I live in Dallas, Texas, and still no update. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong? I have a samsung account set up, and I just go into about tablet: system update and try updating it, right? It just seems weird that I haven't gotten it yet, even though it's been out for a few days. Plus, will this affect me being able to get the Touchwiz update, whenever they finally roll it out? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Does not sounds like you are doing anything wrong if you are on the stock rom. I didn't get my update until this afternoon so I think it just takes some time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dragonforce11:
Sorry, I did forget to mention that I am unrooted, 16GB metallic grey. As long as it doesn't affect me getting the Touchwiz update, I'll be happy :) Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mmoran27:
no update here on stock 32gb california

Again Samsung defies logic.

Wth is going on?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mughalgxt:
No it isn't impossible! Flashing via ODIN with

repartition

checked locks the bootloader as have my galaxy tab 10.1 I/O. It repartitions the partition 4 minimizing its size hence no old bootloader can be reflashed plus adds a certain binary lock unlockable unless with a SBK or crack.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
Let's look at it:

1) Samsung accidentally the hardware security on IO and early Tab shipments

2) Netflix, Google Video, and Hulu are only released on platforms with the ability to properly do DRM

3) Samsung releases an update that enables hardware security and adds Google Video
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ansextra:
But apparently they're not releasing the update to everyone at the same time as shown by my not receiving the update on my unrooted 32GB GT10.1. My Samsung login credentials are good but when I check manually I get "no update available".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] evanrich:
no update here in california yet. I turned off auto-update just to be safe, but i did a check just now and it says no update found.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
To those that did not receive the update, are you already locked or still unlocked?

I was wondering if they did it to only the unlocked tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MMcCraryNJ:
16GB Grey/Wifi/unlocked, no update available as of yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
Well so much for that theory :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jbhorner:
From my perspective, it isn't right that Samsung modifies someone's device without their consent. Consenting to a software update is one thing. Consenting to limit capabilities of a device is an entirely different acknowledgement.

I don't have enough technical knowledge to understand what the impact is of locking a bootloader. My recollection was that it would limit what one could load on the device going forward (maybe alternate operating systems, etc.). Either way, I wouldn't/won't be happy if mine is suddenly locked.

For all Samsung knows, I may have returned it during my return window had it come locked. The return window has closed, then it gets locked. It's not right.

Still waiting

Has anyone with this firmware version been able to get the 180+ MB update to get Touchwiz since? Mine keeps saying there is no update available.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericyyou:
samsung's been so anti against locking their stuff down. i'm sure theres a way to get it unlocked
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
I had that to. It's as if it isn't rolling out to the KG4 update (at least not yet). Perhaps someone else will chime in.

I rolled back to "KF3" with my CW Backup and updated to the TW (KMB) via Kies. Working like a champ!! Still locked but seemed to skip right over KG4.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] leadbelly76:
Mine came in right about 12:30 CST early this morning. I got the Galaxy the day of the public launch and was very used to the colors and style of the stock OS. Getting used to the TouchWhiz now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrpoptop:
where do you get the TW (KMB) to update via Kies?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lordwinkevin:
This just happened to me :-(

I flashed touchwiz on my unlocked device then i decided to revert back to stock 3.1 so I could get the official TW OTA but the only OTA update i got was the 11mb that locks the bootloader.

I checked for another update and can't get official TW and KIES says that my firmware vesion cannot be updated.

Anyone knows how to get OTA update? Im currently running TW using CWM.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Yes, to recover you need to go to a prior backup of 3.1 then use Kies. It seems that once you get that 11MB you can't easily get the official TW. This worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
After I used ODIN to return to 3.1 OTA (KF3), then when I connected Kies I was prompted to update to the TW (KMB) release.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TOLUR33:
Im waiting too but nothing.....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lordwinkevin:
Where did you get the 3.1 OTA (KF3) files for ODIN.

I used 3.1 OTA zip and flashed it using CWM but everytime i connect to kies it just says cannot update firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yay pie:
I see lots of people with retail devices discussing this here, but it's not clear to me if this affects the I/O devices as well. Does it? I haven't even tried checking for updates because I don't want anything getting installed if I don't know what it does.

At least one person reports that it doesn't and their bootloader remained unlocked but I want to be sure if I should be switching away from a stock ROM if it means keeping the bootloader intact.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mughalgxt:
i own a i/o unit and my tab's bootloader is locked after the update as intended by samsung. Hoping a SBk will be leaked and crack the locked bootloader as achieved in asus transformer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cleblanc92:
Sorry I mis-spoke on this. I used ODIN to restore the CWM install I lost then used CWM for the 3.1 OTA update. I am still looking for a ODIN file for 3.1 OTA....heck, even for TW now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thehabs24:
Anybody find a way to get root after that update? I didn't root and had planned doing it after the update but I'm not able to.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yay pie:
I took a gamble and installed the update. My I/O tab looks exactly the same as this twitter post, saying "Lock state: UNLOCKED."
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] newims2000:
Is this mean only the UNLOCKED Retail Tab version get LOCKED BOOTLOADER after TW update, but not the I/O Tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:
My I/O says the same after it's update, "Locked State: UNLOCKED"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thehabs24:
I have the I/O tab and it wasn't rooted before the update. I ran the update and then wanted to root it so I can try some ROM's but I'm not even able to root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
How do I check if mine is locked?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ShannonAUT:
Turn it off, then on again.

If you see an open padlock on bootup you are open.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] newims2000:
I updated it too my unrooted retail Tab and now my unlocked bootloader is locked and no apps installed too. Gaddam Samsung tricked us.

Is there any way to root my device now with a Locked bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] AceTrader:
Locked bootloader doesn't restrict you to root or install ROMs or Kernals.

You can root using the methods given in the dev section
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Synner12:
Likely a stupid question, but has anyone (dev) actually looked at the boot loader post-update to see if it really is locked? It's possible they just did away with the boot up graphic to eliminate confusion. In fact it's also possible that the update actually unlocked the boot loader on all of the tabs, making the graphic obsolete. Just a thought...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
That's a good question!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yay pie:
On the I/O tablets, there is no padlock icon.

Power the tab up while holding down the volume down button, until you get two icons (a USB icon and a maintenance icon). Press volume down once to highlight the USB icon, then press volume up to select it.

You should get the fastboot/bootloader status screen, which looks something like this. Mine still says unlocked even after the update.

http://twitpic.com/5zsbtq
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
On my UK Tab, I see these icons and not a USB etc icon.

If I select the right icon 'Downloading', I then get the screen below.

If I select the left icon, I see the screen below.

Would the 2nd screen suggest that I could flash a different rom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Synner12:
I get the exact same screens on the US version. I don't think the bootloader is locked. I think the padlock graphic just went away.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
The only difference between a locked and unlocked Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the ability to use nvflash and flash the bootloader. A locked 10.1 will allow you to flash anything with ODIN and does not check for signed kernels or anything like that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thehabs24:
I have hte same to when I do that but I don't think its rooted. I installed Titanium Backup and it says I don't have root. Were you able to verify TB works for you?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mughalgxt:
it does check for md5 signatures and binary signature when flashing bootloaders or clicking repartition. Bootloader unlock with nvflash one can back up selective partitions or format plus flash img files. The flexibility is limited in locked bootloader. Had got mine locked and trying hard to convince developers crack the sbk.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] notfaded1:
Root locked bootloader TW updated tab... Pokey is right!

Everyone needs to relax... a locked bootloader doesn't really hamper you at all now as far as rooting, using new roms, or kernels.

Using ODIN you can still root a TW Updated locked bootloader GT by following this Pokey method:

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

Once you have CWM... load whatever you want.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
If I were to root but remain on the Samsung factory installed rom, would I still get updates and be able to install them, i.e 3.2 when it's available?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] notfaded1:
yes... probably

yes if the xda developers could create a vanilla 3.2 update... but you would probably have to do it yourself as Samsung device update would apply all their updates including TW and lock your bootloader if it's not already. I doubt Sammy is going to go backwards and offer a 3.2 vanilla update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rlarkin:
should be illegal

"The only difference between a locked and unlocked Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the ability to use nvflash and flash the bootloader..."

The ability to use nvflash and flash the bootloader is specifically why I purchased the galaxy tab. I couldn't care less about movies.

I'm not relaxing, I'm talking to lawyers to see if I have a case. The bootloader when was unlocked when I paid for it, which I verified while I was still in the store. Now it's locked and I can no longer use nvflash...locally (so far) I haven't found an attorney that cares to know what a boot loader is, but I'm going to keep looking for a while.

This is not a phone, I have no contract. This is a "personal computing device". My property which Samsung diminished after I purchased it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pokey9000:
You're kidding, right? Was there a big sticker on the box that said "Now with nvflash!"? Did Samsung communicate to you in any fashion that this tablet had nvflash when you bought it? Don't you think that Samsung leaving nvflash open on early builds was accidental, and perhaps someone realized that it would put them at risk of handling more RMAs and returns because bozos don't know how to use it correctly?

If you want a tablet with guaranteed nvflash, buy a devkit from nvidia.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rlarkin:
Everything you said is irrelevant. What I have is objectively less than what I bought, Samsung took something back post purchase. The (verified) state of the tablet at the time of purchase is the only communication that matters.

Your opinion on the relative import of the boot loader is subjective and irrelevant. That the option to use it was there when I paid , and taken away without my informed consent is objective fact.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MMcCraryNJ:
1. Bumping a month old thread up just to troll is amazing. No really, please do it some more.

2. If your bootloader was unlocked when you bought it (as mine was), you should know that any OTA updates from Samsung could potentially lock/unroot/brick your tab if you have modified the OS in way/etc. You had to initiate the OTA by making a Samsung account and then either checking off "Auto update" or tapping "Check for updates". Samsung did not strip you from this functionality, you did technically.

3. Good luck getting that lawsuit off the ground. How much money did Sony have to pay all those people filing class-action lawsuits for removing the "Other OS" feature of the PS3?

Just be happy and use your tablet eh? Mine is still unlocked....I'll sell it to you for 1200 dollars. Otherwise, quit whining.
