I got the extended battery more for the protection of the camera than battery life. The extended cover has a nice deep hole to protect the camera, speaker and flash. It also helps a tiny bit with sun glare on certain pics... a very tiny bit.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
I've noticed there was an update on kies this week (P3113UEBLH1), I'm not sure what it was thought.

I've tried upgrading in kies, it was stuck at 0% downloading then connection timed out.

The OTA update didn't find any updates available.

Then next morning, kies said no update available too.

So, Anyone got the update to work, and if so what changes did you notice?

The update is available for flashing with odin on samsung-updates.com , this is the 2nd 4.0.4 update. (I'm still running the old 4.0.4 (P3113UEBLG5))
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlynnErik:
I don't have it, but I can look into it...

My device is rooted, and the only backup I made with CWM was after I rooted, if I go to update (if my device can find it) will I:

1) Brick out and be screwed?

2) Have to flash my backup (which is rooted, so would that mean I can't update again?)

3) Be ok and keep my rooting?

4) Be ok, and lose my rooting, and have to re-root?

I realize I am kind of answering your question with a question, but I would be happy to see if I can track it down and see what changes there are, if it's safe to install.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
Try backing up your system using clockworkmod recovery first, then go to download mode, flash your firmware version (download from samfirmware or samsung-updates) and flash it with odin.

This way you're unrooted, running stock rom and stock recovery and then you can install the update.

I didn't try to install an update while rooted, but it's not recommended so don't try.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlynnErik:
I did a back up after I rooted with CWM

So is my backup going to be rooted? Or will it be the stock? I am currently rooted stock 4.0.4.

Btw, I have found no information about the update anywhere on the net. Maybe they accidently did a push to us, and pulled it back?

Should I wipe cache, dalvik and FDR before I flash the firmware from those sites or use the backup I made already? (which I am unsure if I should even use since idk if it will be rooted or not lol)

I wasn't going to update till it was time to get JB, but this update that vanished is intriguing enough I might lol
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
As i know yes when you restore backup with cwm the result will be rooted also as the cwm takes image of the system when doing backup and as you when doing backup was rooted so when restore this backup you will be still rooted if you flash via odin no need to wipe cash and dalvik cash i never read anyone doing this

Even if you do this wipe no harm at all
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
As mohamed selim said, but wipe your data and do a factory reset in clockworkmod (after backup)

and why will samsung pull back the update?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlynnErik:
There's several reasons why this may happen

They pushed it out to the wrong devices

They pushed it out to early

They found a last minute bug and had to pull back

They are testing it, and not everyone should have gotten the option to get it.

Ok so to get things straight. If/when we go to JB I will need to download a firmware stock from one of the sites listed above, download it.

Do a backup (just to be safe of what I have now)

FDR/Wipe everything

Install the firmware using Odin

If everything looks good, re-flash CWM

Do another backup so I have a clean stock to revert back to down the road if needed.

That sum it up correctly? :) This way I can bookmark this thread so I don't forget lol.

**EDIT** When I use Odin to restore stock will I lose CWM? If so, what happens if something goes wrong in the Odin restore and I have a boot loop, or etc, what would be my next move since I won't have CWM to restore previous, would I be able to install it like I would if things were going ok?

Sorry for sounding like a n00b, I am still learning all about this, but I think I am getting closer to learning enough to not be a n00b lol. I only have 10 tabs open with this forum instead of 20! :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
It's not for the wrong device since it's saying P3113, and it's not jelly bean. as I've seen on samsung firmware.com it's 4.0.4.

Well, on my homescreen I put a shortcut for the software update, it still has a circle saying 'N" on it (which probably stands for new), but going in kies I don't find it, It only says it downloaded it but the firmware is up to date.

So probably either they really pulled it back, or it's a bug and they're fixing it. (I really can't wait for jelly bean)

Second, yes it will erase the CWM recovery and go back to stock recovery.

The common mistake people make to get a bootlop is not wiping data/doing a factory reset before flashing a new ROM, so you should go to recovery and do a factory reset, then go to download mode and flash the firmware with odin. If you ever get stuck in a bootloop, try pressing volume down + power key to get to download mode and re flash the ROM. if it's still stuck, try re-downloading the ROM files you downloaded, it could be corrupted.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlynnErik:
Awesome!

So the one on the site even though its XAR is us? Can I ask why we have that tag? Not something like US or etc? I mean I don't care, just kinda curious since that would make it more simple to know which region gets what, at least for me it would lol.

Thank you so much for the help and the knowledge, I figured I would end up with stock recovery, which is why I wanted to make sure about what if something goes wrong.

As a side thought, where does the backup that CWM makes located? Can I copy and paste that on to my PC so I always have a back up handy? (I would sync it into the cloud). Can I flash that with odin down the road? Or is that only a CWM usable file?

Im downloading it now. Ill post it when its rooted and deodexed
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grobin:
I tried updating it once with KIES and it got to a point and froze on the screen. I had to force the tablet to shut down and rebooted and the tablet was OK. Being a glutton for punishment I tried again with KIES and the LH1 update successfully updated my GT2 7 and the About screen confirms it. Directly after installing and rebooting I started getting error messages about Chrome crashing. I uninstalled Chrome browser and reinstalled it and all is well. No other problems. Do NOT really notice ANY difference at all.

The only problem I have is that NOW I have decided that I would like to root my GT2 7 and I am NOT sure the methods I see out there will work with the P3113UEBLH1 update.

Does anyone know if my GT2 7 - P3113UEBLH1 can be rooted safely??

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
Can you please tell me what's different than the older UEBLG5 version? and btw can you upload the stock rom itself without root so I can test it? because I couldn't download :s

EDIT: I downloaded it via samsung-updates.com and flashed it with odin.

It's pretty much the same as UEBLG5 I didn't notice anything different, but I downgraded to UEBLG5 as samsung appears to have pushed back this update (UEBLH1), because when I connect the device to kies, it doesn't recognize it.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
Sorry for the question, but what do you mean comfirmed OTA? Once kies told me about the UEBLG5 update, I couldn't install it with kies as it was lagging.

Next day I found it on the OTA update.

This one showed on kies for a day, then next day neither kies or the OTA udpates showed there was an update so it probably got pulled back?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomsWell:
By confirmed i just mean when you guys start getting it Via samsung software update. I downloaded it but right out of the box it broke wifi so i dont think im going to bother posting it. Ill steal the cam if its fixed but other then that ill wait till its official.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks, the advantage of OTA updates are that they're smaller, because if you're using kies or downloading it from a website, it's nearly 1 GB, I updated twice with OTA and the update packages weren't exceeding 50 MB

OTA Firmware *Update* Package [ONLY]

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've downloaded this update via kies and just when my P3113 reaches download mode, kies closes or says 'device not responding' so I'll try download this.

If I flashed the new firmware using kies, will my counter go up?

Update : I've downloaded the OTA package from samfirmware.com (it was only 30MB), went into recovery and flashed it.

Have you noticed anything different in UEBLH2? I feel it's just faster.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AWhistler:
It uninstalled chrome, and I had to reinstall it. Otherwise, it's working the same. Haven't noticed anything different yet. I'll be checking the changelist if I find it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I didn't notice it because I already had chrome disabled as it kept crashing.

And I noticed there's a new play magazines app.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmo:
Yea, That was the FIRST thing i noticed! (Magazines.apk / 5.18 MB) Added JUST the OTA update package link in my post above for everyone's convenience!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I downloaded the UEBLG5 to UEBLH2 OTA package from sam firmware, because I didn't get the UEBLH1 update via kies so I thought it was rolled back. Anyways, anyone knows when is the gtab 2 getting jelly bean?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3113owner:
They announced that Jellybean for the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Galaxy S3 is coming soon, but they didn't say anything about the Galaxy Tab 2. I hope we get JellyBean or I will be upgrading tablets a lot sooner than I thought I would.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsage:
Just got prompted to install this update OTA. Update details say 35.24mb, "software and stability improvements included".

I'm on rooted stock and don't have time to backup and revert right now, so choosing the "later" option for now. Wasn't sure if others were seeing this update OTA yet so wanted to confirm it must be official (well I guess technically it was already official since it was showing up in Kies).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3113owner:
It is an official update. The only things that are changed is Chrome is gone andcit has Google Play Magazines preinstalled.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I can see by the app drawer icon you're running 4.0.3, (UEBLG2 firmware).

The newest firmware released was 4.0.4 UEBLH2. Much faster, new keyboard, and new apps included.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsage:
Incorrect, my p3113 came with 4.0.4 out of the box (UEBLG5), which is what I'm on now. I'm now being prompted to install UEBLH2.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You're using touchwiz launcher?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3113owner:
The launcher doesn't matter. Plus, Touchwiz isn't a launcher, it is a user interface on top of Android. Touchwiz does have its own launcher, though.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm asking because of the screenshot, and if it's not a launcher why does android ask you which app to use to go to homepage if you have another launcher installed?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3113owner:
Touchwiz has an included launcher, but it is not just a launcher. That's what I meant.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah, so are you using it? Because I remember the app drawer icon changed after UEBLG2, and btw why can't you unroot and flash the OTA update?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3113owner:
Yes, I am using the stock launcher. As for the second question, I am unrooted and stock and I can update just fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
how did you unroot your tab? I was trying to find a way to do that, but I just flashed the stock firmware using odin (including stock recovery)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3113owner:
I flashed stock in Odin. I don't think there is a way to unroot without flashing stock again.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsage:
No, Apex.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
As i know touchwiz is not just a launcher it includes a launcher and framework and the framework is needed by some stock apps to work so porting some samsung apps to for example cm10 is difficult not just copying and installing the apk file but needs manual modifications after decompile to remove references to samsung framework

I'm running the lovely Jellybro ROM on my awesome GS3. I'm used to running aosp based ROMs and I do know that I can't update PRLs so I just nand my gettup and flash a tw ROM to do it. But my question is why exactly can't we do it? I heard that CM tried it before and it didn't work out? I tried searching for a specific answer and couldn't find anything...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
Not sure who told you that, my prl updates fine....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bulldog274:
Oh cool. Sir might I ask how you're accomplishing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
um no not really....

i've been using CM10 sense the first build (7-18-12) and i had the latest PRL then (25003 i think) but a week ago i had 25005 and now have 25006 ( and that came out 5 days ago) i never left CM10 and it gets updated in the background as i never have to go to settings.

In this pic I wanted to show you I have jellybean and my prl let me know if you can't see it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bulldog274:
Unfortunately I can't see it but that's okay I believe you. Interesting I didn't know it got updated in the background for this. That helps sir thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
just to know; what PRL do you have now?

you can check by going to: settings>about phone>status
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bulldog274:
Edit: apologies a week not two. Typo

I've had the 25006 for a while now...about 2 weeks and there hasn't been an update yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
that is the newest! and how long have you been on AOSP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bulldog274:
Now that one I believe I personally updated back on TW. I just switched (completely) to aosp this morning because enough of the problems were hammered out for me personally. But I'll just keep a vigilant eye and look for it to auto update in the future
[HTC Sensation] valefour:
Ok, it says it's working and has said that for a few versions now but I tested in the update before the last two and it didn't work for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cthrax:
Hi All,

I have been flashing back and forth a bit from CM9 to CM10 to try things out. Today, I attempted to restore back to CM9 and it hung for over an hour, so I hard restarted it. Now, I can't restore anything, because it hangs on the /cache partition. I also receive the message while in recovery mode

I am able to get adb shell in recovery mode and I have gone through the steps to check for a bad emmc, which did not indicate badness. I have attempted to use umount from the shell on /cache, which just hangs. In recovery mode, over adb shell, I can ls and cat any of the files in /cache without apparent issue.

I have attempted Super Wipe, factory reset, manual formatting, and wipe cache, all to no avail (they all just hang).

I am running CWM 6.0.1.1.

dmesg has a message about an ext4 error, that makes me suspicious, but I don't know what to do about it.

Apparently my full dmesg output was too long, so if you need anything else please ask.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joshjryan:
I am experiencing the same thing (I think) as the OP.

I had been running alpha2 of TeamChopsticks CM10. I installed the new recovery for the skyrocket (downloaded from teamchopsticks.org). Then rebooted into recovery. formatted /system -> installed alpha3 -> installed gapps -> installed darkside-wipe-cache-only -> rebooted. Then my phone just hung on the boot animation for 10+ minutes.

After rebooting I thought I would try to install alpha2 again. I tried to format /system, and it hung.

So I rebooted again, and tried to restore a backup. That hung on "Restoring .android_secure..."

So, I rebooted again. This time I tried a factory reset. It hung on "Wiping cache..."

After rebooting this time, I selected "show log" in CWM, which shows this (I don't know if this is helpful/related):

I:Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

I have also tried Fixing Permissions in CWM, with no apparent change.

Also, any time I perform an action in CWM (show logs, fix permissions, etc.) and select "go back" in the menu, the menu disappears. I am still in recovery (still see the CWM logo in the background, and see the text from my previous action), but buttons do nothing and there is no menu.

Any help would be appreciated.

Josh

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Another follow up to my previous post:

I have tried to reinstall cm9 and cm10 alpha2.

With each I format /system, then when I select "Go Back" in the CWM menu the menu disappears (as I mentioned before). So, I reboot, then install zip from SD -> select the cm zip and get this:

CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.1
-- Installing: /sdcard/cm-9-20120715-EXPERIMENTAL-skyrocket-beta1.zip

And nothing after that. It will just sit there.
