i guess i got it to work i did the CWM 6.0.x and the 'auto-reboot' thing in ODIN not checked. Then manually enter recovery and say 'Yes' just before you reboot from there when it asks to rename a specific file in your system. that DarkSorcerer post it on top and i guess it worked i can see this new rcovery. thanks no matter what... i guess all i need now is the root and boom.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

oh crp DarkSorcerer i didnt see that you had another reply for me right after i wrote. well i did flash the 6.0.1.2 touch recovery. now i didnt flash the SU since i didnt know wich one to flash and i didnt see that on your previus reply on the very top. did i messed by not installing the SU right there and then? if not wich SU or root zip do i need?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] latinlover515:
NO ANSWER ABOUT WICH SU ROOT I NEED? I TRYED THE ONE ( cwm-root-gtab2 ) FROM THE BEGINING OF THIS TREAD AND INSTALLED IT ON CWM BUT IT DOESNT WORK WHEN RUNNING ON THE OS. ALL I SEE ITS # ICON FOR SU AND IF OPEN IT KEEPS ASKING ME FOR UPDATE BINARY I HIT OK AND IT SAYS FAILED. WICH IT MEANS IAM NOT ROOOTED EI EVEN TRYED RUNNING AN APP THAT REQUERES PERMITION FROM SU AND IT DIDNT EVEN ASKED ME ABOUT ALLOW OR DENY. ANY HELP PLEASE

Hi,

Did you flash the correct one for your model? Do you have superuser APP installed?

Regards,
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] latinlover515:
well as i mentioned from the bigining. i have a GT-P5113. it came with stock 4.0.4. so i took your advice about flashing clockwork touch 6.0.1.2 without the autoreboot and manuelly go to recovery and reboot and hit yes to make changes. i didnt not flash Super User becuase i didnt have one at the time. i only flashed clockwork touch 6.0.1.2 at that time. so i went back to the bigining of this thread and the only super user that i found was ( cwm-root-gtab2 ) for GT-P5113. but i went to clockwork mod and flashed this one but i guess its old for stock ICS 4.0.4 becuase i didnt fully root my tab. y can see a tic tac toe # icon for super user on my tab but if i open it it says update binary require or something like that. i hit update and it says failed. and i installed an app that does requires root permitions and it didnt even ask about allow or deny permitions. so in other words its not rooted. it seems lliek it only flashed SU but the rest of the root it didnt go trough.. thats what it looks like to me.. thats why i need a root that works on a stock ICS 4.0.4 on my GT-P5113.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] latinlover515:
i think i finally got it. i guess after flashing ( cwm-root-gtab2 ) i had to manuelly install super user. so i browse on my computer for the superuser.aps that i had i installed that and now the super user worked asking the allow or deny thing. i guess now a good rom or keep what i got and go from there. thanks to all of you. if i have any other question i just come back.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] latinlover515:
here we go again. now this damn tab i turned it on and stays on the first samsung galaxy tab 2 screen it doesnt even go past that. i was on stoch then i went to cm10 to see how it ran i didnt like it much so i tried going back to stock ROM and it doesnt boot. now if i go back to cm10 it boots. it seems that it doesnt want to let me go back to stock rom. so is there a way to restore this thing fully stock on the download mode instead of recovery? just like doing a samsung epic touch phone phone but a tab instead. or simply how can i go back to stock after a cm10 flash?

Hi,

Did you make a nandroid backup before CM10? Try restoring it.

In case you didn't, you just have to get back to ODIN.

1 other question, when I flash the cwr file in Odin, that is also flashing a kernel as well as recovery, correct?

If this is the case, we must be able to flash using some sort of auto-root tool right? We have this for the E4GT and it flashes kernels without increasing counter or produce the dreaded yellow triangle.. is there a want/need for this yet on the gtab2 yet? (Specifically the GT-P5113)

Puzzled by this as post 325 that everyone refers to dosnt seem to contain any instructions - I am lost now because I have 4.0.4

and whilst I am confident enough to root the device I dont really want to start with out a step by step guide such as the one for 4.0.3 and need to know what else I must do in 4.0.4

when I look at post #325 in this forum this is what I find

Rooting P5113

I have a P5113.

From Odin 1.85.3 I flashed GT-p5113_ClockworkMod-Touch_recovery_6.0.1.2.tar. Wouldn't take until I found the 6.0.1.2 one.

From there I was able to enter CWMR where I flashed cwm-root-gtab2.zip.

I then installed SuperUser from the market.

I READ SS MARKS THAT YOU HAVE MODDED YOU TAB VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY.

Go to market, buy, and install TriangleAway. Make sure your device is compatible. I ran it on my P5113 and it reset the counter to zero and listed my ROM as "official".

T-Mobile version - SGH-T779

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest some methods or develop some to root the T-Mobile version (USA) SGH-T779 ?

I know the internals vary from the wifi model, but would it be out of the realms of possibility to work with what has already been contributed with maybe some small modification?

Anyways, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated from us USA SGH-T779 owners!!!

THANKS!!

i finally got the root to taek hold. I had to use CWM 6.0.1.0 because when i tried to sue the other one listed in the op, upon boot it kept reverting back to android stock recovery. Anyhow... i finally have it so when I boot into th rom and back into recovery, cwm is still my loaded recovery... here is my question. when i rooted my GS3 there was no doubt i was rooted, but if you wanted to check you could goto the market and dl root checker. i tried on the GT p5113 and it kept saying i did not have root access. i just want to know if there is a way i can make sure i have root, or is the custom recovery good enough?

UPDATE: well guys, i guess im a noob of all noobs! i just got to thinking about superuser and what do u know i downloaded it and there root checker shows full root access. Just wanna say thanks to all the devs and guys who spend the time putting the guides together for the rest of us less savy users.

Quick question, once I flash the cwr recovery and root zip (is the root zip a kernel? Or is the kernel flashed when the recovery tar is flashed from pda slot in Odin?), if I flash superuser, then superSU, then switch superuser apps from superSU settings then reinstall superSU, will superSU work? Or will only superuser work on the GT-P5113?

2 - I still haven't been able to get an SD card to mount via the adapter that plugs in the bottom. Has anyone succeeded in this?

I flashed CWMR but I'm unable to get into recovery. I've tried with both CWMR5 and CWMR6. I have a 3G so I downloaded the file for the P5100. If I hold vol-right and power it shows RECOVERY BOOTING in blue and then the screen goes off. It never shows CWMR. I have to hold power for 10 seconds to turn off and then press power again to turn on. It still boots into the OS fine.

Mine came with andriod 4.0.4 so I tried turning off Auto Reboot and then getting into recovery straight from Download after flashing but it does the same thing.

What's also odd is that my vol buttons are doing the reverse. If I hold vol-left and power I get download mode. If I hold vol-right and power it tries to go into recovery, but fails.

I got into stock recovery once before flashing CWM but haven't seen it since.

For all us T-mobile tab guys, this is what I got from samsung to get the tab into recovery mode:

"1.With the tab turned OFF, Press and hold Volume Up key, then press and hold the Power key.

2. Release the Power key and the Volume Up key when the first screen displays "Recovery Booting".

3. After the second boot screen, the Android system recovery menu will display."

I dont have the tab with me, but would appreciate if any t779 users would give this a go and let me know if it worked.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] neilmc1983:
post #310 work around worked for me !!! thanks :)

i kept flashing CMW with odin but when the tablet rebooted, CMW recovery wasn't there. the tab auto reinstalles the stock recovery after reboot.

untick AUTO REBOOT in odin and after you flash CWM reboot into recovery using the power and vol keys, DONT LET THE TAB REBOOT.

newer versions of CMW will prompt you to disable this auto reinstall of the stock recovery. :good::good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] superseagulls:
that works

Mr_esmit,

I checked tonight, and I can boot into recovery, allowing me to boot from a file on the device. I believe we are still short of a compatible ROM and you will certainly need the existing radio .bin to get the t-mobile frequencies to work correctly.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] superseagulls:
This is what works for me (and similar to how my original Tab 7.0" would enter):

1) Holding Tablet in landscape press and hold down the " + " button (the right side of the long switch)'

2) Keep finger on " + " button, and press and hold the power button at the same time.

3) There will be a quick flash of blue text in the top right of the screen, and the Samsung logo will come up. You can now take your finger off the buttons and let the tablet do it's thing.

4) A screen pops up with blue text:

First line - " Android system recovery <3e> "

Second lines - " Volume up/down to move highlight;

power button to select "

third line - " Reboot system now "

forth - " Apply update from external storage "

fifth - " wipe data/factory reset "

sixth - " wipe cache partition "

seventh - " apply update from cache "

low on screen yellow text:

GT -P5110 running 4.1.1 - need help can't get CWM to stick

Hi, I just got a GT-P5110 Samsung 10.1 tab 2 for my birthday. I have a i9300 SG3 which I am very familiar with CWM and rooting process (etc). I want to root my GT-P5100 now but the stock JB is 4.1.1 and this thread seems to imply that versions 4.0.4 and higher might not work.

*

I flashed the tar file (provided in the op ed) using ODIN and it passed green fine.

When I went to reboot I got it to reboot into CWM. I then had CWM apply the .tar file. Everything seemed to work fine.

*

However, when I went to reboot again into recovery mode the CWM was not there and the stock Android recovery was only there! It seems that something within the 4.1.1. firmware is overwriting the CWM boot I just installed.

*

I repeated the process again and got the same results as above. So, in sum, I can get CWM to flash on ODIN and can get the CWM to boot in recovery mode (but just one time) before it reverts back to the stock Android recovery.

*

Anyone know if I can actually get this process to work on a Stock 4.1.1. firmware?

*

Perhaps there is an updated tar file out there somewhere?

*

Help with links (if needed) would be deeply appreciated. Dying to get root so i can get other apps up and started...

*

Its ok to PM me. thanks in advance everyone...

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Rescue9:
As with shangostar above, I had the same issue. after an hour or so of troubleshooting, I came up with another workaround that is even easier in my opinion.

Forgive me if this has already been tried & documented as I didn't read the entire 53 pages of this thread. From what I can tell, it doesn't matter if you are on 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 (haven't tried 4.1.x yet).

1) Browse http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ & get the correct CF-Auto-Root for your device. (mine is 5113)

2) Unzip & launch Odin

3) Connect tablet to computer

4) UNCHECK Auto-Reboot

5) In Odin, click PDA button. Select CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifibby-gtp5113.tar.md5 & click start.

6) When Odin finished, unplug and hold Vol-Down & Power to reboot into recovery. This will launch CF-Auto-Root and install su binary.

7) Tablet will reboot

8) Download recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-p5113 (recovery.tar.md5)

9) Reboot into download mode (Vol-Up & Power)

10) Unzip & launch Odin

11) Connect tablet to computer

12) UNCHECK Auto-Reboot

13) In Odin, click PDA button. Select recovery.tar.md5 & click start

14) When Odin finished, unplug and hold Vol-Down & Power to reboot into recovery. This will boot into CWM 6.0.2.3.

15) Reboot Tablet

I have found that with this method, CWM stays, & su binary also stays through reboots. I've rebooted this tab multiple times and it worked fine for me. If this helps anyone, please click thanks.
