Unroot

In case you and others missed my prior posts, as soon as I find out of ANYONE having created (or is working on) an unroot, I will post it on this thread. And as I also said before, this device has only been out for 3 weeks and there are a variety of different versions around the world so PLEASE be patient. As with every other device on this website that has been rooted, It will come!

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Unrooting

Whereas the 7" Tab2 has been out longer than our 10.1 and they still don't have a way to unroot, it may take several months before we have a way to unroot, so if you are that concerned about it, please do not root your 10.1 tablet.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] grneyez:
Would the original unroot work on the Galaxy Tab 2?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Using original Tab files on Tab 2

Might work but might also brick your Tab2.

If you're willing to gamble $400, you can try it at your own risk.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] grneyez:
I'm not sure I wanna try. Will wait to see if anything comes out. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Unrooting Tab2 10.1

I did more research and I'm 99.999999% sure that using original Tab files & procedure to unroot a Tab2 10.1 will brick the device. I am communicating with a developer who has the skills to compile a Tab2 10.1 unroot and will post that info here as soon as it's available.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] grneyez:
Great, thanks for the heads up. One moe question if you don't mind, if I did a factory restore thru the settings menu and was rooted, what would happen? Would it brick? Would it install the factory Rom and keep CWR? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Factory restore through Settings USUALLY will change CWM and OS back to factory original but will not reset ODIN counter to zero. It MIGHT unroot. I can only provide this info now because I have never personally gone through this entire procedure and checked to see exact outcome of root status. I do know and am sure that doing a factory reset/restore should NOT brick an Android device because I have done that on 4 different Android smartphones, an Asus tablet, Acer tablet and my former Galaxy 8.9 tablet and never had a problem.

Factory Restore effects

Factory restore through Settings USUALLY will change CWM and OS back to factory original but will not reset ODIN counter to zero. It MIGHT unroot. I can only provide this info now because I have never personally gone through this entire procedure and checked to see exact outcome of root status or CWM after a factory restore. I do know and am sure that doing a factory reset/restore should NOT brick an Android device because I have done that on 4 different Android smartphones, an Asus tablet, Acer tablet and my former Galaxy 8.9 tablet and never had a problem.

What exactly is a ODIN counter? What is its function and why does it need to be set back to zero, excuse my ignorance.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Basic Samsung Android Knowledge

What is a the Odin/Flash counter?

Many users call this by three different names, Odin counter, Flash counter, or the Download Counter ( Most Common). This counter appears when the device is in download mode. When you use Odin, or anything else to flash a non Samsung Kernel to the device, this counter will change from "NO" to a number, depending on how many times you flash a kernel using this method will depend on what your counter says.

Why it matters.

Normally you wouldn't have to care, however If you have to return your device to Samsung or the carrier, their technicians are now trained to check this download counter and if it says ANYTHING but "NO" your warranty will be voided, they can return the device unfixed to you, charge you for repairs or refuse to do anything to help you.

If you have any more basic questions like this, PLEASE do a google search which takes less time than you spent posting your question. I got the info above by doing just that rather than putting most of it in my own words. Although you asked to excuse your ignorance, if you don't know how to do a google search, please ask someone else.

Question!

Will this work on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 model numbers P3113, P3100, and P3110? Which file should I use with the following variants?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] kuronosan:
Go to the 7" forum for that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nivlazenaby:
But the developer said that these procedures also works on the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. What I'm not sure of is the variant that is compatible with this guide and what files to be used, since there are two alternative rooting files given in this thread.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] kuronosan:
Yes but the questions you are asking will be better answered there as this is the 10" forum.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] HippoMan:
How to get out of accidental ODIN download mode?

Today I wanted to go into recovery mode on my rooted Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 so I could do a nandroid backup (I originally rooted it via the procedure described in this thread). Instead of booting with the Power and Volume DOWN/LEFT sequence, I accidentally booted up with the Power and Volume UP/RIGHT sequence, which got me into ODIN download mode.

After realizing my mistake, I couldn't figure out how to get out of this mode. I tried the power key and volume key in every combination I could think of, but to no avail, so I finally threw up my hands in frustration and just connected to my PC and went through a re-installation of the recovery image via odin.

If I ever make this mistake again, I really don't want to have to boot up my little-used PC, hook up odin, etc., just to be able to get out of ODIN download mode. Is there any way, once I get into ODIN download mode, to get my tablet to simply reboot normally, without a PC or ODIN being involved?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Sorry for the question, but I want to go sure, that my one day old P5100 won't brick because I used a wrong version :D

So I wanted to ask, if it also works with the P5100 on the device version P5100XWALD2.

I can't guarantee it but, after a month of feedback on this thread and over 24,000 views by visitors, NOBODY has reported "bricking" their P5100, P5110 or P5113 by using my rooting instructions.

Possible WiFi issue for GT-P5110 rooters

New CWM's eliminate double image !

To all those who have already rooted using my method in the OP:

Thanks to Codeworkx, we can all eliminate the double image in Recovery.

Go to my OP and you can download new CWM for your GT-P5113, 5100 or 5110.

I have tested this new CWM on my P5113 and it works!

Use ODIN to install EXACTLY the same way you installed the original CWM on your Tab2 10.1 (instructions in OP).

Does anyone know of any other custom roms being worked on? I only ask because even though the responsiveness of my tab seems better....it does tend to be somewhat glitchy every now and then and i refuse to believe that this brand new technology isnt as fast and smooth as i expected.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
TIME

Based on my experiences with 9 different Android smartphones and tablets, I know Tab2 10.1 ROMs will get better with time. Please remind yourself that this series of tablets has only been available for 1 MONTH and there are 3 versions.

The people who work on custom stuff are doing it in spare time and many receive nothing for other than a few people clicking a THANKS button. Those

that ask for donations, probably deserve and/or need it. I have donated to some of them and encourage others to do the same.

I help with OPs like this because I believe "what goes around, comes around"

and the many contributors on XDA have helped me vastly improve every one

of my Android devices.

Glenn ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nookie1129:
Thanks for the input....and i totally understand. Just wondered if anyone happened to have any "inside information" is all. I too try to donate to those who donate their free time to benefit others. Without them our lives would be filled with inferior gadgets :-)

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Nookie removed

Sorry to hear you've been removed. Does this mean you were deported?

Glenn :)

Speaking of removed, seems Apple has blocked the sale of more Galaxy 10 inch tablets in ObamaLand. I wonder if merchants in Canada and Mexico will now offer free shipping to USA!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nookie1129:
No, i actually edited my post to say that for fear that my stupid question would be ridiculed lol. I couldnt find a way to remove the post itself so just put that in there.

I didnt hear that but it sounds just like apple. When does a company get to the point that they are so big people actually begin to hate them?? It happens to ALL of them so i hope soon. I also hope this doesnt hinder the progression of custom ROMs/themes etc for my gTab :-(
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
It ain't over till ...

Samsung attorneys are fighting to get the Apple action overturned so it ain't over yet. Some of my inside info indicates that the pending injunction may have boosted Galaxy Tab sales (prompting consumers to buy the Tab2 10.1 while they can).

What we REALLY need to worry about is Apple making a large donation to re-elect Obama so that he creates a law taxing Americans who don't own an iPad (i.e. what health insurance companies may have done to get Obamacare enacted).

Glenn :)

P.S. I have a Nexus7 on order and hope to have the ability to port some of the JellyBean goodness to our Ice Cream tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nookie1129:
I would find it hard to believe that they could tax on something like that.

I would be ecstatic if you can do so :-)

There was an firmware update some days ago. Is this root also compatible with the latest version?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Firmware

I'm not aware of any firmware update for GT-P5113.

If you have evidence to the contrary, post the link and I'll investigate.

I mean for the P5100 ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
P5100 update

Sorry... I only have a P5113 so unless someone with a P5100 posts to this thread, I can't comment on whether the firmware update affects this root.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Patschi_:
How is it on your modell? Does the root get lost if you update the firmware on your P5113?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Firmware / Rooting

Ask when there is a firmware update for GT-P5113.

None have been released as of this date.

Based on my experiences with 8 other Android devices

(3 being Samsung), I've yet to see any device

that couldn't be re-rooted if firmware did undo the root.

Nexus 7 tablet with Jelly Bean: Developers had it

rooted in less than 12 hours from time they got their

hands on the first ones.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Patschi_:
After updating the Firmware the root was lost, I re-rooted it now and it worked ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Re-rooting

Glad to hear it. Until/unless you do another firmware update, your tablet should retain root status and I expect the same applies to GT-P5100, GT-P5110 and GT-P5113 tablets.

Glenn :)

P.S. Root is also available for everyone in liquid form (root beer).
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Patschi_:
Well... It seems that the Root isn't working perfect after the update... Sometimes the tablet has a freeze... I also can't uninstall Titanium Backup, because the tablet freezes while uninstalling... I'm currently trying to install it again, but Google Play won't install it - the download has 5,12MB/5,12MB and won't install the app....

Could you make a root, which fits the newest update? :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Firmware / Titanium Backup

I've never seen root cause what you're describing and not one other person (out of over 30,000 visitors to this thread) has reported any such problems. Therefore, based on small amount of info you describe above, I suspect that problem is either the firmware, Titanium Backup or combo of the two. I have neither, sorry.

UNROOTING has been achieved

Today I successfully unrooted my GT-P5113 and will be creating a new thread with instructions by July 4, 2012.

Unrooting is as simple as rebooting into CWM and installing 1 zip file. Entire process takes less than 2 minutes (including reboot time).

Unrooting does NOT reset the download counter (still working on that).

I will post information on that solution as soon as I or someone else has it.

Yes, it seems you don't have to download this file. Maybe they moved or deleted their files.

No recovery link is working anymore...

I hope they didn't disabled the download forever :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
CWM download link changed

Before anyone starts crying, I uploaded CWM5504 to my business server and modiified the link in my OP post on this thread. This will be a temporary move because 30,000 people a month are using my rooting method and nobody is paying me anything for all the extra server traffic that I pay for.

Glenn :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtr33me:
I'm new to android development, so unsure if this is the best way to do what I want, so feel free to provide suggestions. What I want to do is simply just display some verbose text messages to the screen that will scroll and allow the user to slide up and down vertically so they can view any of the messages.

I've spent the past few days trying everything I can find on Google and I still have yet to get anything working. I have been able to successfully have the text display, append to the previous text, and scroll on its own. The common issue I have seen with my working implementations has been the ability of the user being able to scroll the vertical scroll-bars themselves. I have implemented the object properties in the xml, as well as in code, but neither have worked and I'm assuming it is just a noob mistake or some little thing i'm missing.

I have tried both a TextView as well as an EditText object. I have used them in Scrollviews, by themselves but nothing seems to work. I would prefer to use the EditText with scrollbars, but at this point I am up for anything that works. I am pasting what I have currently using the EditText. I have removed the scrollview below just to start with a simpler base.

If anyone has any ideas for what will solve my issue please let me know. I also have a device on order so I do not have the ability to try on hardware yet, so I am doing this all in the droid emulator. Unsure if that is a problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] creedicd:
This is an interesting article (it's all speculation), on one direction Google might be taking with the Nexus line and Android in general. Essentially they are looking to have multiple manufactures make Nexus devices and then sell them through the Google play store, by passing the carriers. This approach is similar to what they are doing with the current Nexus.

If true Google is putting all the wireless carriers on notice that their business is about to get even more commoditized (good thing for consumers).

http://blogs.computerworld.com/20180/googles_grand_android_plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneguy 4567:
If this happens I see a big opening for Microsoft to come in and take market share away from Android. I say this because I think a big reason or Androids success is heavily subsidized phones, & carriers pushing it. If Google goes the N1 approach again I think carriers will start pushing Windows Phone aggressively. The general public know about Android but I don't think they have loyalty or wanting for it, like the iPhone.
