If you're really rooted cwm recovery will still be there. Try reloading recovery.

Slightly off topic, but since rooting I'm now being prompted to install a software update, but it fails. Anyone know the best method to apply this update (kies?) Or disable the notification? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] psyjohn:
I have reloaded recovery several times with no change. I definitely have root. I have rooted several other android devices; I can access root directories, apps that require root are working, and superuser shows root access for those apps. I just don't understand why I can't boot into CWM recovery.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] psyjohn:
Thank you for taking the time to try and help. I am mystified by this. I rooted a friend's tablet, identical to mine, and got the same result. This leads me to believe it has nothing to do with the tablet itself, but is a problem with something I am doing.

Here are the steps I followed, in case anyone notices an error:

1. Put cwm-root-gtab2.zip on sd card in tablet

2. Run Odin 3, v1.85; uncheck auto reboot & f. reset time; click PDA and select GT-P5113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar

3. Put tablet into download mode and connect to usb

4. Shows connected in Odin, click start

5. Lights up green in Odin, indicating completed

6. Reboot tablet into recovery mode, install from zip the file previously placed on the card

7. Reboot

That's it. SuperUser and ES File Explorer both show root. I can access system files that require root, but I cannot reboot into CWM. Only the standard android recovery menu comes up.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] damian5700:
Yes, you can.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Endoroid:
Try using cwm6, and follow those exact steps. I believe that cwm6 has a feature where it will tell you that the rom will overwrite with stock recovery and ask if you want to fix it.

Followed all the steps for alternate method because i already had 4.04. Everything went smooth.

Then clicked on supersu to update but it kept failing so i installed regular superuser and used root explorer to delete supersu.

I have all root privileges and was able to confirm with tibu. I went to boot into cwm to do a backup and somehow i have stock 3e recovery again. Haha, wtf?

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smileygui:
So I just got my Tab2 10.1 and it has 4.0.4 on it. I have read the main post and the revision in post 325. The issue I'm having is Odin is stuck on setup connection. I put in a search of this forum for it but nothing comes up. Any help? PLEASE!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Mohamedselim:
May be try to install Kies from Samsung site latest version, reboot pc and try again

Do your odin give yellow bar with com port for example 10, 12 or 14 etc

I think the problem is in the drivers, you should install them first, then reboot pc, then open odin, connect tab and see if com port number appears, if it appears so drivers installed correctly

Also close Kies before you start Odin as it conflicts with Odin
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smileygui:
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it shows the com port and that it is connected. I figured out the problem. I had to get the tab into download mode, then plug it in, then run odin. If odin was open before I plugged the tab in that was when I had problems. Hope this helps others.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Ok, so now I have finished the root process. I downloaded SU and Quick Boot. When I select "recover" from the quick boot menu it reboots me into 3e Recovery. I downloaded Root Checker Basic and it says that I do have root access. What am I missing?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Mohamedselim:
May be try to flash cwm via odin again and if option comes to you while booting as fix recovery say no
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smileygui:
So I ran Odin again. Manually went into CWM and rooted. Ran backup. Rebooted device. No matter how I go about it manually with buttons or with quick boot I CANNOT get back into CWM. I am beyond frustrated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Mohamedselim:
-Try to flash cwm 6.0.1.0 or 6.0.1.2 for you device model number which is tar file via odin, if message comes as fix recovery say no

-As last resort, downgrade firmware to 4.0.3 via flashing firmware from www.samfirmware.com (register first) then flash with odin and try rooting again (no return to stock recovery via this firmware)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smileygui:
So I ran Odin and flashed CWM 6.0.1.2 touch and then re ran root, when it asked to fix i clicked yes instead of no (no would only allow me to stock recovery) and now i can get into CWM every time i choose to. Now to just figure out how to get jb-build1 to work. Sticks on Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 screen and I have to restore to factory to get past it.

Hi,

I have a 5110 with 4.0.3 and rooted via CWM-root-gtab2a.zip. Everything is working fine. Now i want update to official 4.0.4 via Mobile Odin Lite (XDA Version) without fullwipe in order to get my apps and settings save.

Can somebody tell me how to get root back after the Update to 4.0.4?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] jamesclinton:
Mobile Odin will root it for you while flashing the 4.0.4 firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] blahquader:
The lite (XDA) Version can do that too?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] jamesclinton:
No i don´t think so but you can flash CWM with mobile odin then use cwm to flash root zip from this thread.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] blahquader:
Pls don´t hurt me - but i can´t find a root.zip in this Thread?

And wont the CWM stay if i use Odin mobile? I think i have read that it won't touch the recovery partition, but i'm not sure.

Here is the root zip (CWM Root for Tab2 10.1 .zip) from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26170800&postcount=1

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] blahquader:
4.0.4 flashed successfully to the 5110 and i get root again. That's what i do (for noobs like me! :cowboy: ):

1. Downloaded the 4.0.4 Firmware here: link

Downloaded the Odin mobile and the Flashkernel here: link

2. Unpacking the Firmwarefile (Zip -> MD5) and copy it with all other downloads to the Tablet.

3. Start Odin Mobile and select the MD5 File.

4. Deselected Recovery (so you dont have to flash it again after the Firmware Update is done)

5. Flash. After the Process my Tablet rebootet in Recovery automatically. (?)

6. Flash the root tool via CMW

7. reboot.

-> done! All works fine for now. All apps and Settings are there.

thanks to jamesclinton for the help! :good:

I have a Tab 2 with 4.0.3 and this one is rooted with the tutorial about here.

Now I want to upgrade to 4.0.4 and I have a couple of questions.

1. Do I lose root ?

So yes, can I follow the steps from the OP again and i'm have my tab rooted again or ?

2. I see on the OP that if u have 4.0.4 u need to use workaround at post 325 ?

Ok but if I click on it its jump to not the right message and I can not found the tutorial using workaround,

So can annyone help me with this so that if I update my tablet to 4.0.4 that I also have root again.

Known problem in 4.0.4 not 4.0.3

Try flashing stock 4.0.3 from www.samfirmware.com via odin then try rooting again

Or easier try flashing cwm in odin while autoreboot(in odin options) unticked after pass flashing try to go manual to recovery via volume up+power if option appears as fix recovery say yes

Quick question - I've got a post over in the Q&A section but since it is relevant to this post I thought I may as well ask it here.

I'm looking for a way for me to backup some game saves before I do a factory reset and also wanting to then transfer those save games to another tablet. I've decided on using Titanium Backup for this. No explanation needed there - I've done similar before.

HOWEVER, I am currently still stock so I need root to be able to use TB to backup the app and data. I asked the question on whether flashing through ODIN will erase all the data in the post in the QA section and the answer came back as - Yes, it will erase all the data.

Someone suggested though that I could possibly flash just the root files to the tablet through ODIN (and not the custom recovery because that is apparently when the full wipe happens?)

So my question is - Is this possible to flash only the "rooting" files through ODIN to the tablet so I can use Titanium Backup to save the app and data without having it the tablet completely wiped in the process? If that is possible, which specific file(s) will I need for that process?(GT-P5113)

Once I've got those games backed up then I plan to factory reset, etc followed by root but I've got a son who has ALOT of time invested in a few of the games and is concerned about having to start all over.

Thanks for the help!

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] DarkSorcerer:
Hi,

Short answer, yes.

Please check the correct root file and the correct recovery file (either here or in the 6.0.* thread) for your P5113 in OP and please note that if you have updated via OTA you will have to see the correct post of the thread.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] DarkSorcerer:
Hi,

Can't you just flash 6.0.* recovery? It will ask you to rename the file in system that puts back the stock recovery.

Give it a shot:

1 - flash the one appropriate to your device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1842246 with Auto-reboot UNTICKED

2 - after it does the "PASS", turn off tablet pressing the power button until your out of recovery mode and enter recovery manually, flashing SU while your at it

3 - when exiting (reboot system now), it will ask you if you want to rename or erase a single file. Say yes. Problem solved.
