I have a stock system image I can upload when I get home from the in laws. Its rooted so everyone should be fine. Give me a few days
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] RevosFTS:
That would be sweet. We need to find a way to downgrade otherwise.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
Yeah, its my first system dump after rooting back in September. Itll be Monday before I can get around to it as I'm out of town.

Scrosler, it would be fantastic if you could start some ROMs! I've been trying to get even a stock rooted debloated ROM but something breaks after flashing and I can't figure it out. If you wouldn't mind helping me also in your spare time because I'm really trying to learn more but I'm just having the damnedest worst time. Maybe even some aosp or cm :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Scott:
Yeah, thats easy enough request.... But cant help till Monday :(, lol

Does anyone else have a copy of this file?

Also, what format is it in?

Verizon is selling these for $99 and I grabbed one. Seems they are selling lots of them. Hope that means more people rooting. I will root mine if available as I been rooting since G1 and now have a Droid Charge, a mistake getting that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Scott:
We all are.

I cant believe only two people on the entire planet have access to this file and its pretty much the only shot we got at rooting... And even then its not a for sure thing... :crying:
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
Well other people who have rooted can dump their system also, but i have no way to upload it until I get home. All I have with me is my tablet and Phone. I would upload it from my tab but I've got unreliable internet here and don't want to suck up all my data.

Flashing it should work as its pre rooted and I've used it to recover from bad flashes.

Turns out I'm flying out tomorrow, Sunday, so if it doesn't get put up by then I'll upload mine.

Everybody needs to post a request for separate sub forum for this tab now. Especially with the wifi and lte versions being very different. I'll post again.

Sorry all :/

Its GREAT that its getting more attention now!

I tried to upload the file to my Dropbox. But it failed. Should have something today. Using 4shared. Then going to give it to Scott to make a mirror of it. Guys please bare with me.

I, like a thousand others, went out and got a $99 galaxy tab. Great price... Dying to get root on this. While I wait, as that's just beyond me... poking around..

/etc/vold.conf

emu_media_path/devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0/mmc_host/mmc0

media_type mmc

mount_point /sdcard

ums_path /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0

This appears to be the mount point for the internal SDcard. Can we confirm?

/etc/vold.fstab

{

supported_exfat = yes

}

dev_mount sdcard .mnt/extSDcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1/

Obviously the mount point of the external SDcard. Question - Switching the two should switch the external and make it the internal effectively making the 8gb to 32/64gb. Will this work and if so what needs to be edited? Is this even the right file? I've switched the mount points in my Rezound but they were all listed in the vold.fstab file which is not like it is with Samsung. I've seen the youtube videos about making links between directories... and if that is what need be, then so be it. Was hoping to find something a bit more permanent.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Scott:
Nope, I got it and am testing it now :victory:

Its opnly system IMG and no boot.img though so there is a 50/50 chance she wont boot because of mismatched kernels. I hope it does... But we will know in about 10 minutes...

I got it. I will re-upload it to one of my sites when I test it. I dont care if I brick but I dont want others to.

Is that after flashing system with Odin or after flashing the ROM you built?

Its all a FAIL on my behalf! WiFi works with just the odin and it can be rooted just fine.

IGNORE my postings about WiFi.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Scott:
For the time being...

I made a matching boot.img for the G3 base...

Its unsecure meaning ADB runs as root and remount commands work.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] BigBot96:
That's just changing the first few lines in build.prop, correct? I haven't done that on my boot yet, kinda forgot about it lol

Ro.secure I think
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] RomsWell:
Same thing for me on the latest otas but if you leave a working image on your system partition and reflash your borked WiFi build with no system wipe it fixes WiFi. But if you dump that same working image and try to build from that it breaks it again. Also no WiFi on clean partitions with a stock Odin flash. Atleast for me. On all the 31xx models.

I have the new builds rdy to post as soon as I figure out WiFi. But I might need to roll the lab back to a older version I updated the other day. I even added a profile to the kitchen thinking it might help. But to no avail
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Scott:
Yes and no... This sets secure in boot.img so its not relevant to build.prop.

I Also rebuilt it with the AOSP ADBD so it you can have remount capabilities...

So its more than just build prop. You can flash this kernel and its good to go!

Really? Well, I think I "may" have figured it out!

I also nuetered the update and had it install the patch to J1! :D

So I am now going to dump and try to rebuild.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Scott:
What device, you said you had WiFi, right?

The patch I made will update you to J1. J1 is the newer shipped verion. G3 was the rootable verion from the summer. For the people who want to root now they have to revert to the G3 ROM. This is the ROM you are on.

My patch is the OTA from G3 to J1 from Verizon OTA updater. but I mideified it so it wont break things and lock us back down...

It updates the OS, the Radios, and the rest of the firmware. I also removed the root check (yep, it had one!) and the aboot so it dowsnt lock down. Then I made Root permanent (until the next OTA) and instead of flashing the Verizon boot.img I flashed my own unsecure boot.img.

IN other words its a super OTA that gets around verizon locking out root.

Thanks for test, I sent you the PM with all the details. I anticipate this will go fine. Once it does I will release it to everyone on the older G3 update so they can be rooted and have the latest version of the ROM :good:

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Unreadhyperion:
So, let me see if I'm understanding this correctly.. to get root I need to downgrade J1 to G3 the flash back to the castrated J1?

Boot into recovery, data wipe/factory reset. Reboot immediately into download mode and flash. This way it should wipe out the update.zip that was downloaded to your device. After you boot, I'd suggest freezing SDM to prevent any updates in the future. Just wait for a prerooted update or ROM update.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Unreadhyperion:
Trying it now. Sometimes I'm awesome sauce when it comes to various things... other times, I question my ability to tie my shoes. :laugh: Did the factory reset, am running Odin as I type. It's writing so here goes nothing. Out of all the tablets I've had I have to admit that I like the responsiveness of this one. The internal 8gb memory... not so much. Can't WAIT to switch that out. It's a pia if you want to play Nova 3, MC3, and Order and Chaos without having to uninstall everything. I have to admit that I miss my Archos101 tablet. Thing was awesome and is my number one tab... but this one is easily in second position. Can't argue with a tablet that can read external HDD's as a local SD card. Carried a 120gb flash harddrive.. thing never ran out of space, but it did not have this sleek responsive touch that the Galaxy Tab 2 does.

I'll keep peeps posted and if I didn't have 55 cents in the bank I'd be buying scrosler and MrHyde03 a case of beer ^_^

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

This is what I'm doing.

USB debugging on as is Unknown Sources.

Without the tablet plugged into the computer I shut it off.

I hold the vol up and power to access bootloader.

I wipe the cache and do a data/factory rest (about three times each).

Through the bootloader I tell the tab to reboot and then hold the vol down.

I get prompted about the dangers of installing a custom OS and that's when I plug the tablet into the computer.

I push up on the volume key to continue and wait for Windows to verify the tablet is connected.

I launch Odin and in Com 4 I get a confirmation that Odin see's the device.

I uncheck F. Reset Time and load the G3 into the PDA section of Odin and click start.

Odin does its thing and shows a successful. - All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

Tablet automaticaly reboots.

I go through the setup of adding my account to the tablet etc.

Homescreen loads and there's no SU installed, the about device still shows J1.

Just to test out I download ES File Manager and it's not able to access Root.

On boot nothing updates.

What am I doing wrong here?
