EDIT: Thanks to all who posted in this thread.

To root this device on linux, its pretty easy:

First, you have to install heimdall and adb.

https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Download cwm-root-gtab2.zip from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29141530&postcount=1

Copy cwm-root-gtab2.zip to your sdcard.

Enable USB debugging on your tablet.

Check if heimdall sees your tablet:

$ heimdall detect

Device detected

Download Clockworkmod: GT-P31XX_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar

Example: for my GT-P3113 -> GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar

Extract the file from the .tar archive:

$ tar xvf GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar

recovery.img

Now, reboot into download mode:

$ adb reboot download

You're supossed to see a big green Android with "Downloading..." and "Do not turn off target !!"

Now flash recovery with heimdall: (depending of your os/config, if you're having libusb error, you should do it as root.)

$ heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img

logs: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31051580&postcount=9

The tablet will reboot, after the reboot:

Go to recovery:

$ adb reboot recovery

At this point you should be in ClockWorkMod

To root this beast:

Select "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from external sdcard" -> Select cwm-root-gtab2.zip and Voila.

Reboot, your device should now be rooted.

Please pardon my english..

And thanks again.

As i think their is heimdall for linux to flash root have not tried it personally i use pc odin i think you could follow guides of rooting using heidall flash a file that contains cwm and copy file to sd card and flash it via cwm and you will be rooted

after you are rooted you could use mobile odin in google play or free version in xda and you will not need heimdall or pc odin

wow..

I just bought this device and I discovered what samsung is.

I'm a BSD/linux dev/user, for many years, I was not aware about Kies, it's my first Samsung device.

I just installed Windows on one of my box, only to see what Kies is... This is really sad.

Kies is not really stable, sometime Kies reconnaise my "tablet" then two minutes later,

nothing, I have to troubleshot and reinstall the USB driver to make it work... (reboot & reboot & reboot)

I'm not the kind of guy who like to reboot each 15 minutes, only to sync stuffs..

left or right

After rooting and flashing a new rom (ex: cyanogen), how the device is recognized on the system ?

Can you mount the file system like a usb stick ? (umass)

I have two choices at this moment, recovery + rooting & flashing or returning this ****.

I'll take a look on the heimdell source code to see what is hapenning.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean_Seany:
Im running Windows 7 x64 on my laptop , but if i flash a new update for my ROM, Windows update runs a scan and retrieves/installs the drivers for my device automatically and it shows up as :

and then :

You will need to locate the drivers for the device , Sorry i can't help you with that but hopefully another *nix user will help you out on that one.

Just googled this , dont know if it will help ?

I'm back on linux, I installed heimdall, adb & co. I just want to be sure that the procedure is exact:

I copied cwm-root-gtab2.zip to my external sdcard.

I enabled USB debugging and heimdall detects my device

$ heimdall detect

Device detected

Now, I rebooted the device into download mode

$ adb reboot download

At this moment, the tablet reboot and I can see a big green Android with "Downloading..." and "Do not turn off target !!"

I have downloaded GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar (my device is an GT-P3113)

Then I extracted the file:

$ tar xvf GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar

recovery.img

Now if I follow your link, the next step would be: heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img

Can you confirm this ? Because there is a lots of contradictions in the thread "[How To] Root - Galaxy Tab 2 7" "

I don't want to brick my tablet.. and I'm not really familiar with Samsung devices.

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Txwolf1980:
Question, assuming this thread isn't dead.

Is this method for 4.0.4? And what is the latest cwm (or twrp, preferably) for this tablet? I bought this thing for my daughter, for Christmas, and she has given her blessings on my rooting it. Keis is crap, and i have hell with Windows drivers, anyway. Since this is the only Heimdall /Linux tut I've found, I'm hoping it's still relevant. Thanks for input.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Txwolf1980:
OK. Final question...

I'm still relatively new to Linux, so I'd like to make sure I have all of my commands correct here.

I believe that this step is to convert the files from a tarball to an img file, correct?

$ tar xvf GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar

recovery.img

I've gone on CWM's site, and grabbed the latest version (6.0.2.3), which is already an img file.

If I'm correct, I should be able to simply push it directly to the tab. (flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-p3113.img)

If I could get some confirmation of these questions, I'd appreciate it.

The only reason I ask is because this thing doesn't have fastboot, which is about the only set up I'm familiar with, when it comes to Linux.

Just to throw in my 2 cents

I just did the rooting on Ubuntu 12.04 64bits, for G Tab2 P3100 performing the following steps:

- Installed ABD and Fastboot using this tutorial (http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/245-ubuntu-precise-install-android-sdk), just to avoid installing the full blown SDK.

- downloaded http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyTab2-7 (CWM for GT-P3100)

- downloaded heimdall 1.3.1 for 64 bits (https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads) and installed it:

]# sudo dpkg -i heimdall-frontend_1.3.1_amd64.deb

- downloaded cwm-root-gtab2.zip and copied it to the root of external sdcard

I rebooted the device to download mode and then I ran heimdall detect

# adb reboot download
# heimdall detect
Device detected

.

For me, 1st post of this thread kept failing because it says to detect before abd rebooting.

- Used heimdall to flash cwm enabled img.

# sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
# sudo adb reboot recovery

and there it was. Instead of the default samsung recovery screen (which won't accept cwm-root-gtab2.zip due to wrong signature) I had CWM recovery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] per910:
Got a sticky situation here:

Was gonna flash the SlimBean Rom, so I entered CWM, and had a braindead moment when I wiped SD card after wiping the system AND THEN HITTING REBOOT. Consequence: Stuck in Bootloader or Start-up screen, nowhere to go. I'm not a total newbie in flashing roms, it was literally 2 seconds of brainfart and POOF! Screw'd up.

So what I wanna know is, has my Nexus 7 reached the point of no return or is there ANY sort of way to restore/reboot/salvage it?!

Thanks alot in advance!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Are you able to enter recovery, remount /sdcard/ and push the ROM via ADB?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikthus:
I had this happen to me too! Luckily you can get back into CWM pretty easily. Hold down all buttons down until you see the device reset then quickly release and press down all the buttons again. It might take you a few tries but if you time it right it should work.

Hope this helps :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] per910:
Stumbled upon some other threads here, did some "unbricking" (technically mine wasn't completely bricked since i still had access to bootloader screen) by returning to stock as per instructions here and voila! All's good in the hood! Thanks for the tips guys anyway! Cheers! :good:

I'm looking to buy a new Android Phone (I lost my lovable Xpreia X8 about 4 months back) :(

Anyways, my budget is less than 15,000 (Indian Rupees) and I'm a big fan of Sony Ericsson (So sad that they had to separate)

Can anyone suggest me a good one? By the way, My expectations are: 2 cameras (with Flash preferred), >1Gz Processor and some solid Internal Storage, and ofcourse, android OS.

So I updated through kies to uvlh1, and the phone seemed smooth and responsive at first. But after updating all the apps through google play and now whenever I add/click the accu weather, or other widgets, TwLauncher crashes and the screen goes black for at least 1 minute before becoming useable again. I tried reflashing through odin but it made no difference. Only a factory reset (data clear) remedies the problem. Can anyonr confirm/ help? (besides installing a different launcher)

Edit: the problem seems to be the my account app. After updating it, the phone became unresponsive for a few seconds, and the problem resurfaced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
next time check how much free memory it has left

if it works fine, until you download apps from Android Market

then that means one of the Apps from Market, is most likely the cause of the problem

so, instead of letting it automatically install all the Apps you had in the Market

do it manually, and choose specific apps that you use to install

do it one at a time, and see how the phone responds, rinse and repeat until you find the faulty App

This is the very same reason why i came back to CM9 from CM10, found several Apps that were not behaving properly on JB, but works without any problem on ICS

many Apps has since been updated to be JB compatible, so keep an eye on your favourite apps, or those must have installed apps to make sure they are compatible with JB
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] luperez:
The memory is fine, but after reinstalling every app except the my account one, the error seems to have vanished. However, id like to know if anyone has the same problem. Because otherwise, my phone is crazy and i need to call tmobile for an exchange.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mojorisin7178:
I think they have a new app that is kinda like my account but it uses the browser use that instead. the only thing you cant do right now is pay your bill but they will be adding that feature soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vtech7634:
Thats wierd i had the same problem but vice versa, see im in US Tmobile towers and my device came stock UVLH1 and when i did the kies thing ,,, it gave me UVLE1 so my data and wifi were not functioning correctly one or the other had to be turned off so that i could make or recieve call on data or download and browse on wifi... i found the UVLH1 site and flashed the radio and know both work . maybe u need to flash UVLE1 so that ur problem disapers:laugh::good:

Just curious whether anyone is using this app with their HTC One V and if it is worth buying the premium version. I never heard about it until I manually flashed cm9.

dont bother dude, it was one of the best apps back in the day.....it's meh at best these days...
[HTC One V] jmitr:
I agree, if you want to spend money on a good "root" app buy titanium backup. The pro version allows you to save your app backups to dropbox.....kinda mixes well with our free 25gb (or 23 for previous customers, better than a poke in the a** with a sharp stick!)
[HTC One V] KREDDYT:
One of the best app for rooted mobile with 5000000+ downloads and with 4.6 rating.

Best alternative to Rom manger is Rom Toolbox
[HTC One V] Fikus011:
Rom Tool Box is no way an alternative to that crap,trust me...RomTool Box is waaaaaaaaaaaay better.Its the best root app that i managed to find,you have all in one app.Try the pro version if you can,although free one is just as good.

You can backup apps,send them to cloud,all bunch of different options in it...Rom manager nowdays is not even good for basic task as (flashing CWM) etc..

I have this app since they released it and i love it,my devices love it too,go try it out

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
When using earphones (of any kind) I hear a LOT of static, but only when on the internet. I had this issue since launch, but it mostly died down after the first update, but now it is back and worse. It doesn't happen if I'm listening to downloaded music. I can adjust the level of static when turning it in its port, and when there is nothing playing I can hear static when I wiggle it around. Here is the really odd thing...when I was doing this wiggling, there was nothing playing, I pulled the jack out just slightly and pushed it back in.As soon as I pushed it back in the voice dialer pops up. It did this each and every time. Does this sound like there is something wrong in the grounding? Why does this static only happen when streaming? It is worse when I have my tpu case off. There is absolutely nothing else wrong with my phone, so I don't want to be trading it in over this. I bought it at best buy, but would sprint still service it? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joeykrim:
Few factors involved, but definitely an interesting issue. I haven't seen any other hardware posts like this, but maybe I missed them.

Either way, I would put the software on the phone back to 100% stock ROM/kernel. If the issue still persists, which it sounds as if it will, then I would look into taking it to a Sprint store.

By restoring the device to 100% stock software, the idea is that this will eliminate any potential software issue as this shouldn't occur on a stock device. If the issue still occurs on a completely stock software device, then the issue has a higher probability of being hardware related.

As long as the issue always occurs, it should be simple for a Sprint tech to confirm the issue. Unfortunately, I have a feeling they might just swap the phone out rather than actually look into resolving the issue. Generally, my experience has been that Sprint is pretty helpful when it comes to hardware issues with a device.

Of course, their service might depend on where you purchased it as well as the type of protection plan you have on the device. Maybe somebody who works as a Sprint tech or who has been in for service recently can chime in on their experience.

Hope that helps!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I am not rooted. Stock only. It started off this way on launch day, got better after the first ota then got worse after yesterday's ota. I bought it at best buy and have their insurance and they would just swap it out. However, I would likely get a refurb and having had to go through 4 refurbs with my 3D last year, I don't really want the hassle, especially since this phone is behaving in every other way. Good to know that sprint will still service it. The store in my area serviced each of my 4 3D's before they would issue another phone, so maybe I'll get lucky.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Powerbird101:
I just swapped my S-off hboot 1.2 for this PoS "unsoffable" hboot 1.15 today due to a similiar case. I had the same issue with static and it seems that no matter what i get there seems to be some type of interference and static with some white noise when playing music. The new phone has substantially less interference but it still slightly remains there. I have used both my Shure SE535's and Westone 4R's and am having the same issue. It seems to be that cheap crappy headsets are fine playing music but when and if you want good quality IEM then your screwed with interference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
Here is the upshot. Factory reset my phone thinking it was a software issue cuz no static when listening to anything on my SD card. That didn't work. Took it into sprint and of course, it sounded perfect. He suggested it could be that my wifi is overloaded and he was right. Sounds perfect when streaming off 3G. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shizume:
Out of curiosity, are you listening to music while charging? I figure the culprit on my end its the charger being plugged in gives off a static feed to my headset which is only an inch away from the charger port. If this isn't the case, carry on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chazybaz13:
I'm having the same issue, every four or five seconds when playing music I hear a weird static sound. This happens on Wi-Fi, charging, not charging and 3g. When I browse the internet I do hear more prominent static sound than when I'm just listening to music on sd card. I hope this issue gets resolved in a software update

Yup radios and or charging can cause some bad interference with the headphone jack, being an all metal unibody frame can screw with the shielding

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ProcessorHog:
Thanks for posting about the wifi solution.

I was listening to some mellow jazz guitar music and this static every few seconds started driving me nuts.

While using cheaper earphones and louder music, it's not that much of a problem but for nice crisp sound and high quality IEMs the static can be very annoying. I had my wifi turned on for location services inside a building. As soon as I turned it off, no more periodic static.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mvmacd:
Is there any known solution to this static while using wifi & headphones problem?

I just got this device and this is one of the first things I noticed. I came from a HTC Rezound and the headphones had absolutely 0 static. My Nexus 10, however, had static only while plugged in to charger.

the static seems to happen whenever anything loads on wifi, which for me is a problem because I stream videos over a local wifi router [raspberry pi & hard drive with Apache2 as a local http media server]. the static is kinda bugging me, so if anybody has any idea how to fix it, please let us know!

I myself have never heard static unless I'm listening to music with low bit rate. Usually I play FLAC files so that's not the issue. Have experimented with how quality music?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mvmacd:
No I haven't experimented a whole lot, but I've tried a few of my videos and all of them have static. it ranges from slight to slightly severe, as it's loading the whole video off Wifi and that's apparently what causes the static. [with wifi off,play local music, I don't recall hearing static.]

I tried getting a wire and holding one end and putting the other to the headphone ground, but no luck :(
