I take it you mean custom recovery? At this time there are currently no custom recoveries such as TWRP or Clockworkmod Recovery available for the kindle fire 2.

Is this because of the locked boot loader??

No, a custom recovery is separate from the locked bootloader for example the Verizon Galaxy S3 had a custom recovery even before the bootloader was unlocked. The locked bootloader prevents us from running custom AOSP based ROMS in the conventional way, because AOSP ROMS require a custom kernel that would trip the locked bootloaders signature verification check as the AOSP kernel would not have the correct signature. Without the correct signature the tablet won't boot. However, there are exploits and techniques that can be used to get passed this such as 2nd-init, kexec, and others.

Probably be able to download it but it will fail to install because of the custom recovery.

Is Samsung started OTA upgrade for Tab 10.1 ? Any way to get it even if the update says " No Updates Available". At present I am at 3.2

Why not just wait a few hours after the update drops for one of our fine devs here to build a flashable/rooted version???

As far as I am aware, the update to 4.0.x for our 10.1's has not been released yet.

Just flash the stock recovery back to your tab, not sure if root will stay after the OTA though.

If all you did was root it and nothing else, you'll get the update. Chances are you'll loose root though.

I was thinking the same but was kind of curious.

That's correct. If you are rooted but still have the stock recovery you will be able to do the update (which I'm assuming will be OTA), but more than likely lose root. If you installed a custom recovery you'll need to revert back to stock.
Once you root and install custom rom then is it possible to go back to factory state?

Yes. Go to www.sammobile.com, download a stock firmware and flash via odin.

Is your bootloader locked? Do you have a custom recovery installed? You must have a locked bootloader and not have flashed a custom recovery.. In other words bone stock

You can not. For flashing any other kernel except stock you need unlocked bootloader.

If it works with stock kernel... In some cases custom roms work with custom kernels only, so to not brick your device be sure this rom works with stock kernel.
EDIT: after you have locked bl how will you install stock kernel with recovery?
has anyone made a custom rom with stock kernel so us non unlocked bootloaders can have a custom rom too?
or can someone go about telling me how to add the stock kernel in.
Try CyanogenMod 9.
Doesnt it require unlocked bootloader?
