Human error...

Thanks again for the help.

I'm doing something wrong i bet.

This is not the first time i'm rooting an android device, but sure seem's it is the most complicated.

- I flash the .tar file with Odin(tried different version's, all does the trick)

- Tablet reboots

- I turn the power off from the tablet

- I boot the tabelt in the recovery mode

- I flash the .zip file from SD-card(Sometime's some files gives the "signature" error, but including the .md5 file seem's to help not to get too many error's?)

- Tablet reboots.

- I dont have a rooted tablet and repeat the process with different file's or the same, still no root "access"

What am i doing wrong here.

Tried One Click Root - Not going to pay 40 dollars for it to root my tablet...

hmmm...on which recovery you are on at the moment??
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Tenho2:
espresso-common_TWRP_3.0.3-0.tar.md5

7.3MB Jan 11, 2017 | 10:32AM

espresso-common_TWRP_3.0.3-0.zip

7.4MB Jan 11, 2017 | 10:32AM

espresso-common_TWRP_3.0.3-0.img

Those two i flashed twice. Edit. The .tar with Odin and the .zip with the recovery, What should i do with the .img file....

When i flash the .zip file from the recovery it gives the "signature error". But still it says the install is ok and reboots the tablet after it has finished.

The recovery doesn't really say anything like TWRP in the menu.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smart-t78:
then go in the recovery settings and uncheck signature verification and try again.

about root: why you want root?? its not needed anymore. you only need root to install a custom recovery, but you are already on a custom recovery.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

start from scratch.

take the .tar file and put it in odin. boot the tab in download mode and connect it with your pc. important: uncheck all odin options (e.g. autoreboot). when flash twrp is passed, boot directly from the download mode into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Tenho2:
I want to intall a custom rom. The stock is slow as snail. Even YouTube app lags bad very often.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

I'll do that.

Edit: That sure did the trick. Odin rebooting the device allowed it to write the stock recovery over the custom one?

Thank you very much! :) :good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smart-t78:
good...now you can install a custom rom that you want and a gapps package if needed
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Tenho2:
Still no root, even TWRP installed it twice.

I need root for BusyBox and EFS backup too.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smart-t78:
a recovery dont root the device.

you can backup efs with twrp.

in every custom rom is busybox include and roms like cm/lineage, slim, resurrection remix or what else are pre-rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Tenho2:
I'm sorry i propably just didnt explain myself the rightway.

What i ment is when i reboot from TWRP it does ask if i want to root. Well that doesnt affect anything, So no root.

But i went for CandySix rom(newest) and i love it.

Root for overclocking/underclocking(In my case), and what else you could need root access for.

TWRP backup didn't say anything about EFS(Or atleast i didn't see it saying anything about it) but ofcourse that is what i did first, two backups actually, one for the ext SD.

Than you for all your help! :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] williambright80:
they fixed that now and by mistake it installed twrp but it works I dont know if it was twrp manager that just needed to have the tablet rebooted again to complete the process but it worked i am running slimrom now

Hello!

First of all thanks for your time and work! I have been working with a Tab 10.1 (the first), I flashed TWRP, ROM,s, etc..., but with this Tab 2 I am trying to flash TWRP, PhilZ and CWM with Odin and doesn't work. Process is OK, I finished with PASS! in Odin, but when I reboot to recovery I see e3, stock Recovery.

What can be happenning?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smart-t78:
uncheck autoreboot option in odin. flash the recovery and when its finished with PASS! boot directly from download mode into recovery.

NO REBOOT, otherwise your costum recovery will be overwritten from stock recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Herus-:
I am having the same issue as LluisAzm

I flash either the TWRP, CWM, and reboot (Directly into recovery), and I get the stock 3e recovery.

I have tried different cables, ports, etc with no luck.

I believe this unit was running the latest stock firmware, however I cant find that anywhere to download either. (Australia, Optus)

Bom dia, saudações.

Minha mãe tem um Samsung P5110 e está sem uso, gostaria de fazer um root nele e deixar o mais leve possível para poder fazer uma automação residencial na casa dos meus pais e deixar ele como controle.

Alguém poderia me apontar um tuto ou material para ler? Qual room devo usar? LINEAGE 13?

Good morning, greetings.

Hi everyone.

I Own a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, got stuck on a boot loop.

I've been looking on the web and it seems there is a bug on the compilation P5113UEUCMH2 (XAR - USA version) which can be solved flashing the firmware P5113UEUCMK3 (XAC - Canada version).

The tablet does not have carrier, is WIFI, does anybody know if the compilation XAC will work on the XAR?

Hello William, I've been reading a lot. :D and I'm pretty sure I understand how Odin works.

I will try to update the firmware on my tablet to P5113UEUCMK3 which, as far as i know, fixed the issue with the boot loop on the previous firmware P5113UEUCMH2.

I Was wondering if you know where can i download the firmware P5113UEUCMK3, besides than Sammobile website :confused:

PS: if you find my english is kind of weird, thats cause Im latin ;)

Philz is way outdated. Android Andi has TWRP working fine.

You've got to boot into recovery right after flashing (untick auto reboot in Odin) otherwise, stock recovery gets rewritten.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] scififreak:
thanks ill try that what is the fasted rom for this evice
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] champ1919:
My opinion doesn't really matter, try them all out and decided which one you like best. We were blessed with a couple of devs that did some really good work.

Android Andi has a lot of info on his git page. The link to it is in his signature on his posts. I'd recommend starting to read there ( sorry, on Mobile, unable to copy link for you).
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Turu2001:
Hi Friends. Odins process was sucefull but, no change System Recovery. Still runs Android System Recovery <3e>

My tablet says "No Command" when start in recovery mode..

Sorry for my english!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] champ1919:
Did you reboot directly into recovery after flash? Otherwise,factory recovery gets rewritten.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Turu2001:
Hi And Thansk

NO, I let it reboot itself.

Thank you for your comment.

Now, when it finished, I restarted it by pressing the low volume button and the system recovery reappears

And it keeps saying "No command"

applied multi csc-code FAILED
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] alex18881:
I had experienced absolutely the same issue before I've read somewhere here - UNCHECK reboot in Odin, and after it's done with flashing, manually turn the tab off and then boot into recovery manually (pwr+vol.up).
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Turu2001:
Thank you very much my friend.

You really renewed my illusions.

But sadly it keeps failing.

I think I should first fix the "no command" error

NOTE: If I reset it with VOL UP it goes to Download mode. If I do it with VOL DOWN, it loads the Recovery Original

Good morning

I've got this tablet p5110 and was wondering if it was worth messing around with? I only want to watch IPTV on it so it doesn't have to be all singing and dancing.

How easy would it be for a newbie to flash or am I better of whacking it on eBay for a few quid towards a newer one?

Thanks

Factory Reset Download

One of the visitors to this thread nearly bricked his Tab2 10.1 by installing a custom ROM designeed for the original Tab 10.1 tablet. He sent me a PM asking for help so I created a backup in CWM5 of my ROM as it came from the Samsung factory. This will allow him to ODIN CWM5 (using method in my OP of this thread), download the 2012-05-30.13.45.50.zip file, unzip it and move it to clockworkmod/backup/2012-05-30.13.45.50 on his external SD card. Then he can boot into CWM and Restore function to "unbrick" his tablet with this 2012-05-30.13.45.50 ROM. Only problem with this factory restore method is that even zipped, the 2012-05-30.13.45.50 file size is 746MB.

I have 3 questions for anyone reading this:

1. Do any of you need or want this backup?

2. What is the best place for me to upload this so people can download it the simplest & fastest way?

3. Should I start a new thread to offer this ROM?

Post a reply or PM me with your response(s)

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] mariconjo:
Glenn,

I am having a little problem here. Followed your steps until I have to choose'install from SD card'. Now Im stucked with a hat and a orange arrow/circle on my screen:confused:

What now? Even if I choose 'reboot system' I get this screen again.

Thanks in advance

Edit: Pffffff,some sweating over here! But It is oke now. After in recovery mode I first had to hit the pewer button for about 7 seconds so the device rebooted and came back in recovery mode. After that all went well.

Thanks Glenn!!

Rebooting into download or CWM modes

Reminder to all: When rebooting into download or CWM modes you MUST hold BOTH the Power and Volume up or down buttons at same time.

After 5 or 6 seconds, you can release the power button but continue holding volume until you see the blue CWM or download mode screen.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Sqb:
I think a new thread with the stock rom would be best. Most devices have a back to stock thread. Thank you so much for hustling so hard for these big boys. Much appreciated!

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Palthron:
1. Definitely, along with backup instructions on the original post or a new thread altogether. Might be helpful if / when new ROMs surfaced.

2. Torrent. Free file hosting server afterwards but not necessarily uploaded by yourself (MD5 hash is all we need to start mirroring, and hopefully i got rapidshare covered).

3. Yes please, with reference / red elephant sized warning on the original post of this thread.

Seems like a handful tasks :p thanks for all these

I'd wait for more opinions though
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] r3dpuma:
Guys I have a big problem. I just bought a galaxy tab 2 10.1. I rooted and than I installed Rom manager. And I used Rom manager to update the CWM. When I did that it asked me what device I have, and by mistake I choose galaxy tab 10.1 (the first one) and after reboot the tab is not turning on anymore. Can't go in recovery or download mode. I tried everything.

Its weird because Its just a recovery not a kernel or a Rom. Please any ideas?

I just saw the previous post. Please make a thread with detailed step by step instructions and download links. Thank you so much
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] kkq29:
bricked?please dont use rom manager (: gtab2 is new and rom manager doesnt support yet. so u will go to service center :p. i did it on other device when my device doesnt support yet for rom manager,and yeah i went to service center and put my warranty lol :p
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] r3dpuma:
Yea but will warranty cover this damage since the tablet is rooted? no other solutions? I really dont want to take it back to the shop
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Bricked due to using ROM Manager

Unfortunately, I concur that you need a service center. If you can't boot into download or CWM, the bad news is that you should take it for service.

The good news is that the service center (depending on the IQ of the service tech who handles it) may not be able to detect exactly what you did

so you MIGHT end up with a brand new tablet. If you purchased it from a major retail store that doesn't have a service center, they may just

take your return as a defective and hand you a brand new tablet.

Good luck and please let us know (post) what happens after you go for service or replacement.

Installing Clean ROM

Before you install the Clean ROM v1.0, know the following:

1. You MUST do a factory/reset in CWM5 (the CWM you install from my OP)

2. Factory Reset will NOT delete anything on your external SD card

3. Installing Clean ROM V1.0 will NOT damage your CWM5.

4. I personally tested the Clean ROM V1.0 today. Runs smooth and it has some of the "bloatware" that can't be removed from the standard stock ROM. I detected an ever-so-slight improvement in smoothness & speed.

5. This ROM has NOT been tested on ANY Tab2 other than GT-P5113 at this time.

Bottom Line: We have our first SAFE custom ROM for the Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113.

Thank you sgrant !

Glenn :)

P.S. When I tried to access my external card using Astro File Manager it said the card was 100% blank and not even formatted. Removed SD card from Tab, plugged into my desktop PC and saw that all my files/data is still on the external SD card. I have corrected my posts accordingly.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] r3dpuma:
I bought it from Costco so yea I might get a new one...ill let you guys know...those guys from there didn't looked too techie.

The thing is that I actually bought the 7" tablet but they gave me the 10.1" by mistake...so if I take it back I might end up with a new one but the 7" . We ll see... Thanks for support.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] kkq29:
dont say if ur phone rooted :p try it lol (:
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] sgrant:
I wouldn't take it back, or they will give you the 7" one.

You should be able to get into Download mode and flash a new recovery with Odin without any issues. Have you tried that yet?

I know this should work because earlier I was playing around trying to get a better recovery for our device that would fill the screen, and a few of the attempts soft bricked mine the same. I was easily able to recovery the device.

It is actually pretty hard to brick these things beyond repair.

The other option you have is to go and buy another 10.1 and then return the defective one with that receipt. I am not sure about Costco, but Best Buy does not record the SN so as long as you return the device in the box that matches the SN you should be able to get away with it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] franatic08:
Great find. Thanks for sharing! Next step is a custom rom for the P5110 :p

Double image in cwm5

This has been asked & answered in prior posts.

THE DOUBLE IMAGE AFFECTS NOTHING!

As for your "so many people," as of today includes only 3 people out of over 12,000 who have visited this thread have even asked.

However, just to make it CRYSTAL to everyone, I'll add a blurb about it in my OP post.

It's a double image because we're using a CWM that was created for the smaller Tab2 7" tablet.

We're all here to have fun with our space-age gadgets and get the most out of them that we can. Nice to see that we're starting to get some custom ROMs.

REMINDER TO ALL: Depending on your Tab2 model (USA or European), after you root you might need to manually install SuperUser before you can install or use all root goodies. Enjoy!

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nookie1129:
Yes i had to install from market and allow the new su permissions using the old superuser.from there superusersu took over. All is well.

Counter

I'm sorry but my OP says nothing about resetting counter to zero. Give the devs a bit more time and I'm sure we'll see a revised TriangleAway app for this tablet or one of them will build the reset function into a custom ROM we'll install by ODIN.

No yellow triangle during NORMAL boot into ROM

I'm sorry you misunderstood. I meant that when you do a normal boot into the ROM, you don't see a yellow triangle. On many Android devices, the minute you root and reboot, you see a yellow triangle as it is booting. I will clarify the wording in my OP so nobody else misunderstands.

I picked up a new GT2 10.1 over the weekend. I had resolved I was going to wait a bit before rooting it but within an hour I wanted my Titanium backups so....

I did have a bit of a problem. The image has SuperSu on it. But it never worked right. Titanium could not get root and opening SuperSU would tell me that it needed to update but then say "installation failed".

I installed SuperUser from the market and it was all fine after that. I disabled SuperSU and everything has been good for 3 or 4 days now.

Don't know why that problem occurred but all's well that ends well. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else had a problem.

You are correct. As of this second, there is NO available posted solution to reset the ODIN custom download counter back to zero.

This device has only been on sale for 3 weeks and there are different versions of this tablet being sold around the world.
