Galaxy Tab 4.2.2 procedure

I was unable to execute the procedure as described on page #1, i was recommended to install "GT-P5110_TWRP_2.6.3.1.zip" but this install failed in download mode (i got 3 errors/warnings). Finally got it working, here is the procedure hope i help someone.

What you need:

1. Odin3-v1.85_3.zip

2. philz_touch_6.07.9-p5110.tar.md5 and philz_touch_6.07.9-p5110.zip (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860, too bad the project is ended for now (5 oct. 2014)

3. If you never installed Samsung KIES, you MUST install Samsung USB Drivers BEFORE any of the above (so your PC connects to tablet).

STEP 1:

Copy philz_touch_6.07.9-p5110.zip to the ROOT of your external sdcard ( /mnt/extSdCard ). This is the micro sdcard you insert in tablet slot. Your /mnt/sdcard folder is internal memory (not recognized in CWM recovery).

STEP 2:

Turn tablet OFF and restart in download mode by pushing and holding Power & Volume UP/RIGHT buttons at same time. When wording with yellow triangle appears, push Volume down to continue into download (ODIN) mode. Don't plug tablet into computer yet.

STEP 3:

Make sure KIES (if installed) is closed and not running.

Extract Odin3 v1.85.exe and run it.

STEP 4:

Connect tablet to computer.

IMPORTANT: Make sure REBOOT is OFF (unselected).

In Odin, click PDA button. Select philz_touch_6.07.9-p5110.tar.md5 file you downloaded and click START button.

Let Odin install files. When it's done installing CWM, box turns GREEN.

After 1-2 seconds the tablet shows a (light)blue bar at the bottom of the screen. Step 4 is completed.

STEP 5:

Disconnect tablet from computer.

Now comes the tricky part.

Turn tablet OFF, hold POWER button for 3-5 seconds. The screen becomes totally black.

When turned black release POWER and immediately Power & Volume DOWN/LEFT buttons at same time.

When Samsung Tab 2 10.1 logo appears, you can release power button but continue holding volume button for a few more seconds.

You should restart in recovery now, loading the new philz touch recovery.

STEP 6:

Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around and POWER button to select an option.

Select install zip from sdcard. Choose philz_touch_6.07.9-p5110.zip file you already copied to root of sdcard.

STEP 7 (last, but important!):

When rooting is finished, choose reboot system now from CWM menu.

You get 2 questions (i sorry, cant remember them exactly):

1. you agree to a modification yes/no;

2. a confirmation yes/no.

Both say YES!

STEP 8.

You should now be rooted.

Install:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu and execute app.

Recovery without odin, Without PC

Well, I couldn't make my device detect onto my pc, so the odin method was a dead end for me. frustrated with this problem of unrecognised device error, and probably no solution and successful workaround on the internet for it.

I managed to get philz recovery on my p5100 without ODIN or PC.

I used Rom Manager Premium version from google play store, it successfully installed the clockworkmod recovery and I am on philz recovery touch now.

Even got the superuser to successfully flash from it, But there was one problem,

it wouldn't update the Su binary. no matter how many different versions I try no one could get it updated.

But, at least now I can flash custom roms that are pre- root enabled.

Im trying to find the exact files so I can root my GT-P5113 on 4.2.2. I would rather use twrp instead of cwm. But I will take what I can get. Could someone post a link of exactly the files I need please, thanks.

Can someone help me here? I need to know which files I need to root this stupid thing. I have the p5113. I think I have the drivers installed. Odin isn't seeing the tar.md5 file when I select it in PDA, its not transferring into the PDA slot.....I'm running 4.2.2. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Easiest method on 4.2.2

Make sure you are rooted. I had P5113 and I used p5110 files. Worked like a charm

Flash in this order :

Flash Recovery

Flash Rom

Make sure you perform in the order.

I tried flashing recovery first but it didn't work.I tried all (cwm, philz, twrp )(old and latest versions)

Then rooted my device and it worked like a charm!

Root via autoCF chainfire

Oh...Hey...Hi...Anybody still here?

I'm trying to resurrect my wife's GT-P5113 but it won't connect to the PC running Windows 10.

I've installed ---> uninstalled ---> reinstalled Kies and drivers several times and I've tried different USB ports and nothing I do will get this thing to connect to the PC.

Ideas? Suggestions?

As a side-note, Wireless Kies was able to connect wirelessly but that does me no good if I want to root it and such...
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] PanchoPlanet:
I was trying to help and just made a suggestion to try something different, wasn't stating or suggesting that something was done wrong . I you want to play developer you need to provide better support in your op and be a little more responsive to posts in the thread. This is a community forum where members try to help each other out, something that apprentily isn't in your mind set. I have done my share as far as rooting goes, several Samsung phones, HTC phones and original gal 10.1 Tab, so I have a good idea of the rooting procces and good development when I see it.

okay so i tested sideloading a few more APKs just out of curiosity and i have the same parsing error when i am using apps that i know work for the tablet because i downloaded them in the market.

has anyone been able to sideload apps on the galaxy tab 2 10.1 or has anyone had issues that they have been able to resolve?

thanks.

Posting incorrect information

PP:

After you posted incorrect info a 2nd time on this thread (which I had to correct twice on this thread), I sent you a private message simply asking that you do more research before you contribute information that is wrong. I sent the PM to you instead of embarrassing you publicly on this thread. You never responded to my PM. If you want to insult me or brag about your other contributions, please do so in a private message, rather than wasting space on a thread I created to help people. Thank you!

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nookie1129:
I have another 2 stupid questions...

1 - should i be allowing superSU to have SU permissions? It is asking on its own wo my triggering

2- i am also having issues removing some bloatware. Is this different on the tab rather than a phone? I always used super manager wo any issues but now get errors.

(Apologies for my ignorance here I'm just frustrated)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
SU and bloatware

Yes, SuperUser may ask for frequent permissions (varies by each app). This is normal on tablets.

Bloatware removal does vary from one phone or tablet and operating system to another. I make that statement based on dozens of ROMs used on 3 different android phones and 2 tablets over the past 3 years. When we get some custom ROMs for this device from developers, assuming history repeats itself, many of them will have eliminated the majority of bloatware.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nookie1129:
Thanks Glenn my mind has been shot.......Didn't even think of the rom.. duh
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] milniko:
I would like to know is there any way to root without flashing CWM recovery, without flashing different recovery block, or at least do we have original recovery.img for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 ?

This will make me more comfortable in the case of warranty issue,
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Rooting & CWM

Not at this time. If you're that worried about warranty, I suggest never rooting or installing any custom ROMs unless you are 100% sure you know how to restore your system to factory settings. :)

Based on fact that it works on GT-P5113 and GT-P5100, no guarantee but it should also work on GT-P5110. If anyone has reason to believe otherwise, please post here.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] milniko:
It is easy to remove root from system folder. With this rooting method, in order to return in factory mod, it is necessary an original recovery mod.

For data, cache and sdcard block no one care :),

What about chance flashing rooted system on new tablet and latter getting recovery img,

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/stock_recovery.img

so we will have backup for all stock images (blocks) ???
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] LavaJoe:
This is great, and it's exactly how I would want to make copies of the stock block devices (like recovery). But how do we get root access to those blocks? When you say, "What about chance flashing rooted system on new tablet", how is this done without first overwriting the recovery partition? It's a catch-22. I tried the dd method unrooted, but as expected, root is needed.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:

Has anyone gone from the first 10.1 tab to this (10.1 tab 2) and noticed this one isn't as responsive?

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Tab 2 responsiveness vs. original Tab series

I upgraded from a Tab 8.9 and even running the latest tweaked ICS custom ROMs on the 8.9, it was less responsive than my new Tab 2 10.1 w3ith native ICS, which is why I sold my 8.9 on eBay. Furthermore, I think the colors are more accurate on this Tab 2 (despite at least one magazine review that says otherwise). In fairness to magazine reviews, those journalists sometimes get samples that are different from final production units so if you read those reviews, keep that in mind.

Glenn :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] LavaJoe:
I have to agree that the new Tab 2 10.1 is really nice. There's a lot of gloating on the Asus TF300T forum how much better that one is (better specs, etc.), but one has to look deeper: I tried video playback on both, and the Tab 2 10.1 is far smoother (and the sound from the stereo speakers is far superior as well). The Asus exhibited periodic "jerks" during playback on two players I tried.

Specs don't say it all. The new Samsung is a great tablet. Can't wait for CM9!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] :
i came from the 300t and traded it in for the gtab2 10.1. much happier with this. i feel like i have an expensive tablet in my hands, with the 300t i felt like i had a cheaply made tablet, too flimsy of a build imo.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Samsung is #1 for reasons

Rooting aside, half the electronics & appliances and even the hard drive in this PC in my home have been Samsung for the past 4 years. I don't always agree with the design & materials (plastic) they use, but in general the performance, reliability, sound & image (from my E4GT, Tab 8.9, Tab2 10.1, 23" & 55" TVs, Home Theatre System ... are all superior to the many other brands I constantly compare. Even my 83 year old mother recently chose a Samsung frig and washer/dryer for her home.

Kudos to Samsung (as long as they keep the quality UP and let us use Svoice on our Tab2 10.1 !).

Am I Rooted?

I rooted my Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5110 a couple of years ago as I needed to explore the filesystem. It's been rooted ever since. Recently, I updated to KitKat 4.4.4 (I might go more modern, but I don't want to install a lot of bloat and find that my elderly processor can't cope). Now, Root Checker Pro Free says I'm no longer rooted. I thought the fact that Odin was installed was enough. I may have completely misunderstood. I'm told "Superuser Binary Files: Installed" but "Root User Account: Failed". How can I correct this, please?

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

Ignore me. I just remembered (when I went to install Kingo Root) that I had to switch on developer mode to enable root.

Hello All,

Sorry to piggy-back on an existing thread, however I wasn't sure where to post this. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 tablet. It has been sitting around for a while and I figured I could use it at my brothers pizza shop for the Square App. It has been working fine, however we have been forced to upgrade to chip readers and the tab has 4.2.2 on it. I rooted it using KingRoot (Awesome app by the way). Last time I rooted a phone you had to use 2 different apps and a Windows PC. Anyway, it is now rooted and I am unsure of the next step(s).

Do I need to download Odin?

Which custom ROM should I be using? The software requires 4.4.x or better. Any reason to shoot for the moon and go to Android 6?

Thanks in Advance!

Thank you for the quick response!

Are they safe(either/both) apps?

I've read some scary things about both, as i don't have better knowledge from either one i can't tell If they will send my emails to a chinese hacker. :)

Can i install a custom ROM without installing any other apps beside's King or Kingo?

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] smart-t78:
about kingroot and kingoroot: you can use it. when you install a custom rom you have to do a full wipe. the full wipe will delete your whole old system and all your data.

if you want to install the latest custom roms. switch to the latest common-twrp recovery http://andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html cwm and philz touch are outdated for the latest roms ;)
