You have to flash the SuperSU.zip that you downloaded onto the microSD card.

You do that by going into the clockwork recovery > install from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard> select SuperSu.zip > confirm.

Yay! Now just reboot normally.

Progress?

Thus a kernel. But I am having a couple of issues on building some libraries for the image. Just a WIP!

A T-Mobile one would have different overlays than the ATT, so a slightly different device tree. Right now I am basically working as a fork from the D2-common or rather adding to it.

Don't worry guys, it is being worked on.

Worked perfectly. Do you still need the /system and boot.img for sgh-i497?

Stuck at Samsung logo

Hi, thanks for this but I seem to have ran into trouble. I successfully flashed this on a SGT2 5110 and it worked ok for a few minutes. But after 2 restarts and a soft reset, now my tablet is just stuck at the Samsung boot logo. I tried to power it off but it keeps restarting itself instead of shutting down. Now its just frozen with the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" text on the screen.

edit: I managed to get into download mode and flash stock recovery back but after reboot it still freezes on the boot logo. Ill try to get another rom I can flash through odin and see if that fixes the prob..

edit 2: fixed it. I flashed CWM 6 from here and got it working again

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
Yeah that is a different hardware version than the T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon, Sprint variants.

You have the international version. P5XXX are all international and have a totally different set of hardware, despite having the same name.

The hardware for the version this thread is for is much closer to the North American versions of the Galaxy S3.

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Tab 2, and can't get this to work. I don't have an external SD Card, and cannot flash Super SU.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
Well, I did specify that as a requirement..... That is how this works. All of the memory onboard the Samsung is an emulated sdcard and is actually part of /data.

Just borrow someone's micro sd card and download the SuperSu.zip onto it.

It really is pretty easy and simple.

Added the

GITHUB

https://github.com/childofthehorn/espresso10att

This is the Device profile required to build the Recovery

I will add a formal fork to the D2 Group once I get a bit more of this figured out. The Proprietary files should be out there soon.

CM9 is Chugging. Got the Recovery.img and Boot.img (based off of D2 source) building correctly. I found a hangup in building libstagefright (someone didn't redo the commits after the newest qcom merge it looks like "ACodec.cpp").

Remember that the kernel zImage that is in the device tree is for recovery ;P

Flash through ClockworkMod.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Jorge81:
Got it rooted, now unsure witch forum to get a compatible rom?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
ROM hasn't been made yet.

However, you can download busy box on a rooted phone. Open Terminal Emulator and type this.

"tar -cvf /sdcard/system.tar /system"

"dd if=/dev/block/mmc0p7 of=/mnt/sdcard/boot.img"

Then post those two files (system.tar and boot.IMG) somewhere.

I can deodex and pre-root and pre-busybox a ROM and complete Odin with those features.

I just don't own a Rugby Pro myself. However, its pretty easy.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
Well one important question is if the boot loader is locked on the Verizon version of the 10 like it was on the 7.

More than likely, using the unlocked boot loader from the 7 might unlock it if it is locked.

One potential thing to do is take the system image from Sam mobile for the sprint version and put it on the Verizon. If it let's you do it... Its not locked.

I just have no idea on the Verizon as I don't have one.

Download and Install Busybox (Stericson) from Google Play :

Download Terminal Emulator:

Open Terminal Emulator

Run these commands

"su"

"mkdir /sdcard/rom-backup"

"tar -cvf /sdcard/rom-backup/ics-system.tar /system"

Send me ics-system.tar

I can deodex, add busybox, and add root.

Its really easy. Android Kitchen is all you need.

Please use something like sendspace (500mb limit - so compress the tar with 7zip or bzip) or Mega.co.nz

Unable to find nv_data file in efs folder

Hi, I am unable to find the nv_data file in my SGH-T779 tab 2 from T-mobile. currently my tab2 is locked with T-Mobile and I bought this from Craigslist when I was in Irving, Texas. I tried contacting t-Mobile support but they are asking for the purchase receipt which I don't have.

Can you please help me unlock my tab so that I can use it on the go in 3/4g data connectivity in here in India.

Looking forward to hear from you guys. Thanks in advance.

Returning To Stock

I have a T-Mobile, Galaxy Tab 2 that I am working on. I tried rooting it, and am having issues. Planned to return it to T-Mobile, but it shows to be modified. How can I return it to the out of box state, that I can send it for warranty?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
Simple.

Use ODIN to flash this (unzip to .tar.md5):

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/187602741/7104c57/T779UVALJ4_T779TMBALJ4_TMB.zip.html

That is STRAIGHT from T-Mobile's servers.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
Bootloaders:

I found that the bootloader between the ATT and TMOBILE is effectively the same.

Actually, it appears that it also only recognized the product "espresso10", not expresso10att or espresso10tmo that is defined in the .prop files.

This would match with the other pieces working between the two.

Now, since it looks like the bootloader on the two of them is generic....and shows unlocked status:

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: T32 ENABLE QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: DISABLE QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: NON-SECURE BINARY QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: NONE

Apparently this bootloader has some cool pieces talking about installing RPM's using the Bootloader... HMMMMMMM

If there is an adventurious XDA member with a Verizon Bootloader who would be willing to try the ATT bootloader, let me know. If it hoses it, I cannot take ANY responsibility.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Wild Turkey:
The UMAMA1 is not in Spanish, its Puerto Rico, Antigua etc.

On a side note I am still "trying" to figure out the WiFi issue, I fixed the 4g and Bluetooth but WiFi is being elusive. I would rather have WiFi as it is what I use the most anyways.

The Bluetoothe was a simple overwrite the .conf files with ones from the umama1, something must be wrong with the ones in this zip.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Silverexp:
Correct, UMAMA1 is not Spanish, my bad. There is a I497TCEAMB1 for Telecel of Mexico.

Usually, part of the wifi is in the kernel, but you odin the UMAMA1. Did you try UMAMA2???
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Wild Turkey:
UMAMA1 works fine, i just wanted to get back into a US based flash. UMAMA2 was in spanish...lol

The Wifi slider wont work with this deodexed build. It is like there are no hooks or calls to activate wifi. i see a few files/folders but cant seem to find the actuall driver. Sure I could just copy over the entire /system folder from UMAMA1 but that would just rewrite the build and what not. i am basically shooting blind with this file system, I am not a dev, just have a knack for figuring things out but sofar all i am doing is getting a headache...lol

I can open the md5 with DiskInternals reader and browse around, its just finding the right area is what I am lost with.

Laggy

I followed the directions, (Backup kept failing) now I am rooted, but the tab is real laggy..... Whats up with that.?

>>> It seems to have been my SD card that caused the lag, not sure why, but I replaced it with my 32GB Sandisk Class 10 and it works fine. So I guess I will sell the 64GB card I had.<<<
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] rmancl:
I installed the update via ODIN and installed fine and programs all still intact

LOST ROOT:crying:

Used CF Autoroot with the ODIN that came with it and now have ROOT again:laugh:

Only downside is that CF AutoRoot restore the stock recovery

So then I installed the recovery from the original post and now have a working recovery

So in summary I can confirm that the update does not break our ability to root and I have a working Clock Work Recovery:cool:

I can also confirm that Triangle Away works as well

Missing 'Data' tab

One thing I noticed (after using all my mobile data up as the dumb thing is failing to stay connected to my wifi) is that the green 'data' icon is missing from the home screen. To disable the 'Data' now I have to go into settings and disable - adds a couple of clicks..... Not sure why they would have taken this off.

I have a feeling that T-Mobile found some bugs in this rom after launching (anyone else still able to update from the device from ICS to JB)? I have a feeling there may be a bug fix push coming.......

I must admit, I was surprised they ever updated the thing anyway!

Thanks for testing the root though!

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] kingjehu:
I think the reason why T-Mobile stopped the update to 4.1.2 was the boot animation. I got the update the day it was released but didn't wait around for it to boot. Days later I rebooted and the boot animation had the AT&T boot sound. Someone ****ed up.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] superseagulls:
LOL! You are so right, I hadn't noticed until you said! What a lazy bunch of code stealing 'developers' T-Mobile employs!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
Glad to know it works guys.

Yeah I worked with Chainfire in getting him some pieces for the CF auto root and triangle away for the tab. Hopefully that holds you guys over.

I also have some custom stock kernels if anyone is interested.

Sorry I haven't been one it. I work a lot of long hours and have been programming like a Mofo. I do Android and mobile development full time so.... Work is in high demand!

BTW guys added in the device to CM10.1 and added the Tab to the D2 device set.

I am hunting down some surface flinger and kernel configs ATM. You will have full USB host support and I am baking in some other capabilities.

Let's just say that I have some other drivers to get working as well, like any device.

If anyone wants to join in the fun I am usually hanging in the teamhacksung and the team rugby IRC channels helping others with questions on porting/drivers/etc. At some point I will upgrade the CWM to 6 and have a somewhat "working" TWRP that needs some tweaking. Just haven't had the required time.

Sucks that Samsung didn't release the AOSP source pieces. Mostly just have D2 stuff to go on since as everyone knows, the ATT source is not complete.

Thanks for the Good words.

Oh, and BTW T-Mobile doesn't program anything, they just send it out. The problem likely lies in someone not making a fully separate device tree over at Samsung. The two share sooooo many common sources, likely it was from someone merging that stuff into the espresso10-d2 common overlays. No biggie everyone! Happens!

It's there. It just isn't shown, but you can choose it in the display settings. As for the AT&T code, it also shows up on the advanced WiFi settings. It has the option to automatically connect to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot when detected.

I don't like this Jelly Bean Touchwiz at all. It seems very half assed. I have more lag, and my school WiFi drops off every 15 seconds. I'm on my school's WiFi right now on my T-Mo SGS2 (on cm10.1) and I've never had WiFi drop. None of this happens at home. I can't wait until we have ROMs to switch to.
