I have the 5113 version on 4.0.4. Does it matter if I use the cwm 5 version in the OP or can I use the cwm 6 version some ha've used. I just don't want to flash the 5 version and a few months down the road find out I can't flash new roms because Im on an older version ya know.

I just got a gt-5113 for Christmas. Im familiar with flashing in odin and from recovery. In A. 1. It has a download for cwm6, then 2.is the su zip that it says to run in odin. How or what do you do with the zip from 1?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] sjsharksfan420:
You need to use Odin or mobile Odin to flash kernel/recovery (most likely need to extract the .tar) and then go from there (superSU etc..)

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] samsgun357:
OK so flash cwm recovery/kernel in Odin then do I flash SU zip in recovery or is there a file to extract and run in Odin?

Also it says you lose cwm on a normal boot if you are running stock 4.0.4, I am, is that fixed by deleting stock recovery as it says in A. 15?

Sorry for sounding like a n00b, just want to be clear on the process.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] sjsharksfan420:
Yes, after odin'ing the kernel/recovery (cwr6.0.2.3 is the latest) then reboot into recovery (when the device reboots itself) hold power and volume down button till the splash screen appears the second time

Then with your new custom recovery, flash the superUser zip. You will most likely need to then go into the playstore, install superSU, open it, allow superUser rights, then update bianary, then go into settings, click swtich superuser apps (thus will remove both superUSER & superSU, don't worry) then go back to playstore and reinstall superSU, update binary and you're good to go

Thanks so much sj, I really appreciate it. I have seen a few different root methods, all seems pretty straight forward but I just wanted to double √. Thanks again!

Edit: just successfully rooted my tab, thanks so much! I guess I'm going to run triangle away, I've never used it before,any pointers?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] sjsharksfan420:
That's odd, I never got the triangle on my tab, and I'm pretty sure I rooted with this method.. :confused:

Its possible that when I rooted, instead of flashing a kernel/recovery & root, I stayed on stock kernel, flashed custom recovery only, and then rooted..

I use an epic 4g touch as my main device, only had my tab for a few weeks.. so if someone knows if my explination is even possible (meaning I couldn't run custom recovery only on stock kernel) please correct me, however, I think that's why I don't have the triangle

I didn't see a triangle, just assumed I tripped the flash counter. I'll look into it more and let you know what I find out.

I've had a vibrant for almost 2yrs and didn't have to worry about it. I got the tab and a Verizon gs3 for Christmas. I haven't done anything with it yet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] sjsharksfan420:
Oh, for sure when you flash a kernel with pc Odin will usually increase the flash counter.. :/

I would say either the CM10 nightly or CM10.1 for your GS3 ;)

There is an update available through kies (p5113) for 4.1.1 jellybean.

Is it okay to run this update with cwm and not stock recovery?

I'm sure I will lose root when and if I can update, has anyone updated and rerooted or will ota rootkeeper work? Any ideas and help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: just updated to 4.1.1 via kies update. As I thought, I lost root, I didn't try root keeper. Followed steps on the previous page (A) and regained root access!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] atagilbert:
I flash cmw with odin and install the root zip with supersu and superuser and no luck, both fail to gain root.

Thank in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] samsgun357:
I just did it following the steps in A. from the previous page. Its really simple, Odin the cwm .tar, then reboot to recovery,* you can do it straight from download mode. Make sure auto reboot isn't checked in Odin. Then flash the superuser zip in recovery. *make sure zip is on external SD. Go to play store and download superSU' update binary in superSU, go to settings in superSU and switch/cleanup su. It will delete both su apps, go back and download superSU from market, open it and update binary. Viola!

hi , does It support samsung galaxy tab 2 ( p5113) new update ( jelly bean ) ?

Thank you .
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] samsgun357:
The latest update, jelly bean 4.1.1 through kies, is available for p5113.

FYI, if there is an update available through kies, it is for your device, whatever it may be. Kies can distinguish which device you have so if you connect, and it says there is an update available, it is for your device.

I am trying to find this out too.. I am currently running stock ICS (4.0.4) on my 5113 and only have root & CWR6.0.2.3

I am wondering if we need to unroot & and put stock recovery back, then we should be able to accept the OTA..

I will post here if I can find out anywhere.. if someone knows what the process/files are, please advise..

I have a nandroid, but would hate to soft brick/hard brick if I can avoid for sure.. :)

Just get the update through kies then reroot.

I would suspect that if you went completely back to stock you would be able to receive OTA's without issue.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] sjsharksfan420:
(I kinda posted like a progress for my process.. )

Thanks for the post, is it not possible to reflash stock recovery? No way to force cwr to prompt for it again? I was thinking that if I unrooted, then accepted the ota, that might work? Then I would just reroot after that?

OK, this is the method I am testing, I didn't want to update with kies while rooted, so I used superSU to unroot, verified that I was not rooted with root checker, went into settings/system update, and I am currently downloading right now. I plan on installing at the point of being unrooted but still having cwr flashed (I can't find the stock recovery for the GT-P5113..)

I will post my results.. worst case is that I have to restore my nandroid, restore to stock ICS and then grab OTA, manually flash JB OR CM10.1

I'm not too worried.. ;)

Edit: so unrooted, the OTA still didn't flash with cwr, I will have to try kies next.. :/

.. after 10 mins, so far so good.. 60% and no errors yet (at this point, best case, it doesn't wipe my data, and I'm left with unrooted JB 4.1.1 with stock recovery)

Fingers crossed..

Update: tab booted into download mode automatically, kies is at 45% firmware update

65%..

75%..

84%.. ..

:/ ..

90%..

96%..

100%.. :eek:

Tab rebooted automatically..

Did something itself in recovery..

Reboot again.. taking slightly longer to boot up, was expected.. now seeing the "android is upgrading" message like after clearing cache and dalvik cache.. :)

So far so good :)

.. starting apps...

Lockscreen!! :sly:

:thumbup::beer::beer::cool::D:cool::eek::sly:

Now on a screen that says installing applications.. with progress bar.. not progressing yet.. :/

Gonna leave it and go to store.. maybe it will finish.. (I checked settings and I am on JB 4.1.1 now.. so..)

Repeat of prior post

As I said 2 posts ago, only way you'll know if your problem is having a P5100 (vs. our P5113) or that you're trying to root from a computer other than one running Windows, is for you to get access to a PC running Windows and use the exact method on this thread. Then if it won't root, you'll know for sure that the problem is that you don't have a P5113 tablet.

Thanks for the process, it was clear and complete (much better than others I've read). Better yet, it worked!

I have rooted my tab 2 7.0, but have a problem with superuser. It indicates it needs to update, but fails on any attempt to do so. Further, in its present state it will no give permission to programs like Titanium Backup to do their work. Any suggestions?

Never mind. I had thought the the SuperSU included superuser. It does not, I've downloaded superuser and all is OK.

I have a slight problem.

I've done the download mode step, and flashed the recovery, but then something weird happens.

The recovery screen kinda mirrors in the lower section of the screen. So when I access the recovery, I can choose "install zip from sd card" but it mirrors, so I can't really see what the hell I can choose.

Should I try the odin step again?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] PanchoPlanet:
That's the way recovery is working on this build, you get a double image. Try switching to portriate mode it may be better to navigate. This is an issue that needs to be worked out.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] weltwon:
Portrait Mode in CWM 5.5.0.4 on GT-P5113

CWM doesn't switch into portrait mode on the GT-P5113 when using version 5.5.0.4 recovery.

I have rebooted my GT-P5113 into CWM numerous times and although there is a duplicate at the bottom of the screen, the volume control and power switch functions still work perfectly at selecting a function. However, one time, it did fail to respond to the buttons so I held down the power switch until it shut down the tablet. I then used the combo of power switch & volume to reboot into CWM and all worked perfectly.

Some apps just not made for tablets

Some apps just aren't made for ANY tablets because I've had the same experience trying to load a few on my 8.9 Tab (rooted and running ICS) as well as my Tab 2 10.1 so blame whomever wrote the problem apps, not the tablets. On a positive note, things like the leaked S Voice, DSPmanager have all loaded without any problems and work the same on my E4GT as well as my rooted 8.9 Tab and Tab 2 10.1 which I installed via Astro File Manager.

I suggest ignoring the post by PP. There is no portrait CWM mode as of now, and as I said in my prior response to this issue (see post #52), if your volume switch doesn't respond in CWM, reboot and try again.

Choosing rooting zip

Unless you are doing something that's not included in my original post, there should be only ONE zip file to choose from: cwm-root-gtab2.zip and it should be clearly visible unless you're trying to see it among the bottom (duplicate) CWM images.

If/when one of the other devs on XDA or another site provides us with a CWM that works better in this tab (eliminates the double image), I'll be happy to post & report it on this thread. The downside to be the first with something is that it's not always perfect.

Thanks netlagger, I will check that other thread too again, I was able to flash the JB leak build, but something wasn't quite right, so I'm going to try again..

Gonna restore nandroid backup, gonna unroot and flash the CWR6.0.1.0 with PC Odin (without auto-reboot) then reboot into recovery, when I reboot system from that point, I should get prompted to flash stock recovery. If it goes as planned, I will be left on stock ICS 4.0.4 unrooted with stock recovery..

When I flashed the JB-OTA leak, I was prompted to flash stock recovery, but no matter what I do, I cannot force the stock recovery flash when I have my backed up build on. I'm in process of downloading the ICS stock firmware you posted link for, but just trying to see if there is any way possible to just get the recovery back on rather than flashing the entire stock rom

Okay here’s my problem I rooted my 5113 with the OP directions, now did the OTA to JB, then root with SuperUser zip. The problem is I now have SuperUser and SuperSU install, tried the switch/cleanup su but this removes the binary from both apps and lose root. I re-rooted updated SuperSU that also updated the binary if you then open SuperUser it wants to update the binary again; I did update SuperUser only but after reboot lost root. Looks like both are fighting for root control. Is there a way to remove one or the other? Anyone else have this problem?

Question,

If I root with CWM SuperUser-3.13, then run CWN-SuperSU-0.94.zip will this remove SuperUser and only install SuperSU? or is there a way to change SuperUser-3.13 to install SuperSU?

Root not working...

I have a Galaxy TAB 2 10.1 GT-P5113 that I am trying to root. I am not a complete noob at this since I have rooted a number of Android devices before (Nexus one, nexus s, nexus 4, HTC Status, etc.).

My Galaxy tab info:

Model: GT-P5113

Android version: 4.1.1 <<<< Is this the problem???

I first followed the steps from the original poster:

Downloaded Odin

Downloaded GT-P5113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar

Installed CWR using Odin (took me about 3 tries before figure out that I needed to reboot directly into recovery from the download mode)

Installed cwm-root-gtab2.zip from the recovery

Rebooted the system, installed a Root checker which told me that I didn't have root access...

So that didn't work, I did more reading on the thread (man 60 pages...) and saw that for 4.1.1 I should be using Superuser 3.1.3-ARM-signed.zip. So I rebooted in recovery, installed the Superuser 3.1.3-ARM-signed.zip and rebooted... still no root.

Did a factory reset / full wipe, and reinstalled Superuser 3.1.3-ARM-signed.zip... still no root access.

I am not sure what to do next :(

Any suggestions welcomed.
