I am looking for the tab2lite ROM for my 7in tab2. Links are broken in 7in development section. I thought someone may have the flashable zip stored somewhere.

Root GT-P5113 4.0.4?

Hi guys I bought my galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P513 with 4.0.3 about a month ago and I updated to 4.0.4 the first day and a second update like about 2 weeks ago.

I want to root my tab but i´ve reading that it is better if you do with 4.0.3 and if you update your tab it may cause some problems :/.

I am a rellay new user and i would like to know if anyone could tell me the best way to do it =) , thanks!!

You can make a nandroid backup in cwm recovery once it's installed.

Sorry for the late answer, I'm staying at my grandma's house while my parents are on vacation and I don't have access to a proper pc.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] MultipleMonomials:
You can try to root it, as it may work and if it fails no harm is done. If you see "stock recovery <3e>" after rebooting into recovery, you will have to restore to stock, though.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Aliendex:
I have downloaded the right file for restoring my P3100 (only for emergency like assistance)

Is this stock ROM compatible with my Italian tablet or it is US version?

Another question: when I need to reset counter? After installing the stock ROM right?

Can I use Triangle Away?

And after this can I unroot the tablet or the root is "invisible" for samsung assistance?

Thanks for who want to help me :)

Only question, but after I am more quiet

P.s.: Root_Remover.zip mirror is down
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
As far as file is for 3100 and your device is 3100 the file will work

The American version is 3113 wifi only

Triangle away need root to work so use it before flashing stock rom or you will have to root again for it to work

To unroot if unroot script not work so just flash stock firmware
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Aliendex:
So if i put stock firmware (PDA and PIT) i automatically lost the root?

But how I reset the counter to 0?

If I use before install stock ROM odin display to me counter: 1 because I put original firmware

If I want to use after install stock ROM I can' use triangle away..

How I reset to 0 if I can't?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] crikko:
Hello, my first post here, but I've been reading the forum for two weeks now.

I'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth my while rooting my tab 2 10.1 P5110 (Wifi only, Australian version). At the moment, I'm only using it for web browsing, email and the like, just getting used to the Android system, coming from iOS for the last few years.

One thing I've noticed is that the screen is not very responsive, for instance when I was playing angry birds with my niece the other night, the screen seemed to 'jump' a bit when we were moving our fingers on the screen, making it hard to position the bird exactly where we wanted (I know, lame, but that's the best example I've got at the moment). It's also noticeable, though slightly less annoying, when on the unlock screen. Would a root and removing the bloatware fix this at all?

Have a great one!

-Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
You reset the counter in the rooted firmware you are in now using triangle away so counter is zero then flash stock firmware and stock firmwares are not rooted so it will erase rooted firmware you have and take its place so your device not rooted if you installed triangle away it will say that it needs root access to do its job if no root access so no counter reset to zero so you will have to root again to reset counter

So you reset counter before flashing stock as in that situation the firmware you have has a root so traingle away will work and then flash stock it will not raise counter as counter not raised with stock flashing it is raised with custom flashing only afterwards counter will be still zero and in stock firmware so no one will know you flashed it before zero state and you can claim warranty they could not refuse it

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Removing bloatware can free more cpu cycles so these free ones are dedicated to other jobs as ui or games so more responsive tab

Better use custom firmware as cm10 in www.teamhacksung.org for your tab it is debloated already and tweaked for better performance so i thing lag will decrease alot i use cm10 now

To install a custom firmware as cm10 you need root and cwm recovery
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Aliendex:
So, in conclusion if I use triangle away before flash stock ROM I can't see the counter to 1? (For 1 I'm telling about install stock ROM with Odin)

Great notice if I understand right!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
Yes if you used triangle away now you will see zero i never used odin method to check counter i used download mode to check it volume down+power in beginning of reboot and see counter before triangle away use and after it

Notice check counter number and status official or custom in download mode then compare with values which appear when you open triangle away app if they are the same so safe not the same do not use it unsafe

The custom state will convert to official if you flashed stock not before

Don't forget about overclocking and changing your CPU governor - - that alone gave me a large performance boost. Don't worry about bricking your tablet, in 3 months of modding, I've not had one brick.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] je44:
I have a GT-P3113 tab I just got last weekend and updated to 4.0.4. So far the only time I get CWM to come up is when it reboots the first time after ODIN, after that it comes up with the default recovery again but I have installed the root/superuser during that one time I got CWM to come up. I am not sure about flashing roms until I am sure CW is woking correctly. The note in the instructions that say "your tab says "Stock Recovery <3e>" when you reboot into recovery, you have to restore to stock." I thought was relating to needing to go stock from 4.0.4.

Was going to follow E. to put back to stock but I did not see an entry for GT-P3113
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] MultipleMonomials:
That is how CWM is supposed to work. Will add this to the guide. Sorry for the misinformation, the cause is this: for several months now, people have been unable to install CWM on tabs with 4.0.4. A few weeks ago, a fix was found, and I recently added it to my guide. However, I left the offending note up there until I had confirmation the fix works. You've given me that confirmation, so I will delete that note. Sorry about that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] MultipleMonomials:
Sorry for the recent confusion, the guide should actually work for 4.0.4 tablets, and I mean it this time.

Thanks man i think i successfully rooted my tab but when i want to go into super user app it said "The SU binary needs to update. Continue?" and then it said installation failed! :S, any idea of how to update superuser? or what happen if i not update it?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
Install supersu from market (alternative to superuser) works goood in our tabs
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] topaza:
What exactly does this mean?

I know, this is all on my own risk etc. but is really something (technically) different between an untouched tab and one that had a custom rom installed and was flashed back to stock rom?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] MultipleMonomials:
They will increase the download counter and void the warranty, which is a software change and can be rolled back with TriangleAway.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] cjrgalvez:
Hi man! i have another question =). After i got root access if I want to flash a rom do i have to flash CWM or is there a way to go into CWM without flashing again? thanks in advance! =)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
If you want to flash a custom rom it will be already rooted and cwm will remain

If you want to flash a stock rom with pc odin ,you will lose root and will have to root again and flash cwm

The only way to keep root when flashing stock rom is to use mobile odin paid version and check everroot in its setting
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] MultipleMonomials:
You will need to flash CWM6 if you want to use JB. If you're flashing an ICS ROM all you need to do is install the zip.

Rooting Galaxy Tab 2 7"

Thanks for your awesome tutorial which enabled me to finally root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7". All other tutorials left out one tiny, insignificant detail -- the fact that after Odin performs the flash, the tablet CANNOT be just turned off and rebooted because doing so will erase everything Odin did. After countless tries, it was with this information that I was finally able to successfully root the tablet. Thanks and thanks again!!:D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] corpcd:

works find on P-5110 with JB 4.1.1 as OEM firmware

Hi all -

I have a tab2 10.1 P-5110 with JB 4.1.1 as OEM firmware.

*

I followed rooting instructions on the OP and just wanted to let other users know it worked like a charm.

*

Just a quick note (possibly for OP ed) as follow up addition after item # 16 in op instructions.

17. It will not automatically reboot. You need to manually reboot, but before doing so you will get a query screen asking you if you want to "disable the stock OEM recovery" and that this can't be undone. I selected "yes" and it rebooted just fine. Works great!

*

Thanks - these instructions were clear and this worked liked a charm.

Users with same model please PM me if u have questions.

I tried following this guide on 4.1.1 myself, after some struggle getting in to cwm finally succeded..

Great work, may thanks!

Hi, another newcomer ;)

Though I've done a lot of reading the xda forums for the last few years and I have rooted several phones I now have problems with installing the GT-P5110_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0 and gain root access on my Galaxy Tab 2 ( GT-P5110) which I just got yesterday

The tablet came with stock 4.0.4 preinstalled...

I am following below instructions, but I get stuck at step 12.

A. Root stock ICS or JB

This should root any gtab2 10.1 or 7.0 model running ICS or JB. It will not wipe any data.

1. Download and install if you don't already have them:

SAMSUNG KIES

Odin v1.85

2. Download the correct ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) for your device:

CWM6 for p5110

3. Put either

CWM-root-gtab2a.zip (for the p5100 and p5110 on ICS)

on your MicroSD card or internal storage.

4. Turn off the tablet

5. Hold volume UP (away from power button) for a few seconds

6. Volume DOWN (towards the power button) to confirm that you want to enter download mode

7. Open ODIN

8. Plug in your tablet. A box in ODIN should turn yellow.

9. Click PDA and browse to the recovery file you downloaded in step two.

10. Uncheck Auto Reboot In ODIN

11. Click Start.

12. Hold volume down and power to get out of download mode, and keep holding them until you see the "Galaxy Tab 2" screen. If you don't release them in time and don't see a blue recovery screen, start over from step four.

I can't get the blue screen or whatever I would supposed to see. I was holding power button and volume down for like 5 minutes - my fingers were turning red :laugh:

Though I can see that when I am in download mode the number of counts is increasing - I think I am at nr. 5 and the binaries are custom, then I do step 12 but nothing. ( I just see big battery icon - the same as you see it when tablet is turned off and on power supply )

I think I read somewhere that I would need to install the stock 4.0.3? I cannot find this information anywhere.

Guys?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] TomP190:
Just like in my case, once Odin finished unplug cable, hold power untill it turns off, then straight away hold power + vol down, once samsung logo shows up release and after 10 secs you will see CWM, continue from step 13.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out is if it is possible to adjust LCD dpi like I would on my phone on an AoSP rom. I know on a tablet its not needed as the screen is larger than phone, but say its at 128, I would like to see it at 120 :) I tried to edit the build.prop with Rom toolbox Pro, but dpi is not listed.. :/

Buddy great guide.

But do there minor changes:

1.download mode=power+volume down button(you have written volume up)

2.please add cyangenmod 10.1

Thanx...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] MultipleMonomials:
1. Download mode is volume up + power, but volume up is volume down when you hold it in portrait mode so many people see it backwards.

2. Will add 4.2 ROMS, but it will take some rewriting, which I can't do until my PC works again.
