Just to Clarify... the latest 8.9" version is 8.1.3 and it is still currently rootable using this method. Not sure if that method will work on the 7".

Seems we are waiting for Xmas for the full influx of activity in this forum.. I'm hoping a lot of devs are getting KF for xmas and things will pick up.

An answer to this may be found in the following thread, I had a missing adb_usb.ini file which caused this problem.

I tried rooting, and I got all the way to step 2 and it says ROOTING FAILED!! Here is exactly what it says:

Rooting FAILED! You may want to try running this tool again.

Your device region may not be supported if you see this message again.

Press any key to continue... (which just closes the program)

So, does this mean I am screwed and don't get to root? Or am I doing something wrong?

i just used google translate and followed the steps..

downloaded the tools needed for the restore/push.

copied my adb sdk platform tools files to the restore tool folder

copied qemu files to restore folder

ran restore, ran qemu, it will show an error at step 2 thats fine as the restore step pushes the su.

If you are on windows 7 just download the adb composite drivers.

right click the kindle and then update

choose browse

hit let me pick from list

hit next on show all devices

click have disk and point it to the folder with your drivers

select adb composite when it shows

after install try to run quemu again.

So I recently made the move from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 and was working great no problems. I want to move to 4.1.1, so I checked my cwm version which is 6.0.1.0. That's all I did in cwm and then clicked reboot now. I got the Samsung logo then cm9 but directly after it bought me back to the home screen of cwm. What should I do?? :(

Cwm is not distorted in anyway... just can't reboot. I'm a heavy texter/caller and would like his to be fixed ASAP!

I have tried rebooting from cwm after it return s there.... and tried a battery pull and normally starting. Still brings me to cwm screen. (This was just a copy of a message)

That's a little more detail of exactly what I've tried. I did do clear everything again and try reinstall. No good.

I'm not sure how to go back to stock exactly.. since I'm now on 4.0.4, would stock be ICS now? If a link could be provided that would truly help!

The file you linked is a cm9 build.

Use the heimdall one-click ics recovery, linked in the 3rd post of the guide.

to check out goto:

samsung-updates.com

there search for ur device.and check latest firmware against ur country code...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
If you want to stay on Pure Official Samsung stock, its ICS 404, even though Samsung are very close to releasing an official JB 411, there is a leaked OTA JB 411, but this its a bit like a beta, so its your choice to install it. If your device isnt picking up updates through Software Updates in Settings, then youll need to get the official one from here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3

Once your registered with the site, scroll down and select your tablet. For your country choose -Top 10 Latest -. Then youll need to get ODIN and flash it through download mode.. there are guides all over XDA for flashing Samsung devices in download mode, but you do it at your own risk.

This is not a phone, so you dont need to worry about modem or CRC files, just try and pick one closest to your region and make sure you get the Model right GT-P3100 or 3110 or else youll brick your tablet.

Hope that helps

Try pulling the battery then put battery in and hold volume up and volume down then plug in USB cable and see if it goes into download mode. If it doesn't the ONLY two things that will possibly work is a USB jig or getting a memeber who can JTAG it and recover it for you.
