[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] richdaley:
I have it on t-mobile. Can I just use CF AutoRoot? I am not too concerned about putting a custom recovery on it since there aren't many roms, but once I have root, can't I just adb a custom recovery onto it?

I mostly just want root so I can remove the t-mobile bloat.

I should mention that tried the instructions in the first post. It appears to work but when I boot into recovery, I am still in the stock recovery and when I try to install Super SU from both the market and with ADB, I get errors.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

I figured out my problem. Duh. I think it was the stock recovery flasher. I misunderstood the original post about disabling reset, which I think should read disable auto reboot. I was allowing the tab to reboot after flashing the odin package and I think it was restoring the stock recovery.

I am thinking about trying to build a modified stock rom for this device. I have never done it before but it doesn't seem like it is too complicated.

i used cf auto root to root and flashed this recovery ,thanks by the way childof the horn,everything went perfect have recovery and root now.my question is when i go to make a backup it says root specified is not found!

am i correct to assume that i need an sd card in the tab to backup my system image?

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] EEngineer:
I have been playing with my LG G2X running CM7 for the past two years. This week I got a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SGH-T779 running 4.1.2 and basically I'd like to root the device so I can uninstall the t-Mobile bloat and install the DroidWall firewall. I'd also like to install ClockwordMod Recovery and it appears that this procedure does just that.

But I have to admit that the above procedure uses shorthand that an hour of research hasn't been able to clarify. Steps 3 and 4 seem to speak to people that have already done this before.

Hit the PDA button?

"uncheck the reset", is this a setting on my Tab?

"Hit go on Odin"?

I'm sorry but that is all too strange for me. Can someone PLEASE clarify?

Also, the OP hasn't been updated since Jan 2013. Does it still apply?

Also, after I flash SuperSu from CWM, do i need to wipe Dalvik and cache?

thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] cubandanger05:
The "pda button", "uncheck" and "hit go.." options are to be done on your pc after you download the Odin program. Had you truly followed the instructions and downloaded the Odin package it would've all made sense.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] mr_esmit:
Anyone know where I can find the tar file to update 4.1.2? Its not on the samsung site. Also what bloatware can I remove to make the tablet quicker this lag is driving me crazy.

Is anyone currently working on porting CM11 to the SGH-i497? I would like to work on this since I just acquired the tab, but I rather work with someone else then starting from scratch.

I rooted and loaded CWM, however I do not know how to enter CWM, I always get ODIN when I reboot and hold power + voldown. I started my research and it appears the sgh-i497 uses a MSM8960, this seems like good news since CM already runs on many devices using this SOC.

Would love to see some development for the sgh-i497. Unfortunately stock has been very laggy. I wish you the best of luck with development.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] nethead72:
Sad reality...

The issue is that none who know how to make roms have the Sgh-i497. Developers only develop fir devices that they own. Typically. I would be happy if I could just get help making my touchscreen more responsive to a stylus. Samsung must have been smoking Crack when they wrote the firmware for the tab2, I mean why make it so that you have to move for almost a centimeter on the screen before it tracks?

Porting to cm11 is gonna be pretty difficult without source code for 4.4 android. :-/ unless you're a code ninja. I've been working on a port for cm10 I've got source files and a build environment. But I keep hitting brick walls with boot.img.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] Childofthehorn:
Well guys, I decided to revist this.

The D2-common has all been merged to being d2lte now (just like many of the samsung devices at the moment like the t0lte (Note 2) and the Note 3 as well). This is good news as we all know, the kernel is stable and the SEpolicy (while currently running most things in permissive mode... tisk tisk....) will work with most of the ports and pieces on the device (.te files are mostly correct for us).

CM11 with the merged D2lte is not going to be a particularly hard task. Just Sayin.

BUT! I will need someone else to be able to verify as I got rid of that tablet a long while ago in favor of going all Nexus for my devices.

This will mean that a new recovery image must also follow (TWRP 2.7 or CWM with SElinux enabled kernel+contexts).
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] subarudroid:

I am starting to take a look at this as now. I am a noob at Cyanogenmod and android rom building but an experienced unix developer but out of practice. If I am looking at git right, so far you only modified two files in d2lte: Android.mk and device.mk ? Is that right? Also if I want to build espresso10att, do I just build cm_d2lte? But then I am not sure how to tell the build its an espresso10att. Also how are you handling all the missing proprietary files that don't seem to exist on the i497?

Any help appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] zswielder:
Hi,

I'm hoping that someone can help me with this. I recently purchased Motorola EM326G from Net10 as a prepaid phone. I only needed it for my parents during their 2-weeks visit. Now that it's not needed anymore, I want to give it to my friend, who is using a half-broken phone because he cannot afford a better phone. He is on AT&T. So, naturally, I called Net10 and asked for the unlock code. Well, first of all, I spoke to like 4 people from there, and none of them seemed to truly understand what I was asking for. Even after I explained to them what the code was for, they just kept giving me BS answers such as "We don't have that feature" "We don't have the capacity to do that but you could call the manufacturer to see if they can do that for you." So, I called Motorola, and they told me that only Net10 was able to provide the unlock code, which I agree with. Motorola also confirmed for me that this phone could indeed be unlocked and that all it needed was the unlock code (it can't be done my ass Net10).

So, as you can see, I'm stuck, which is why I turn to you geniuses on XDA. I tried using those online paid unlock services, but they don't list Net10 in their provider lists. Can someone please help? Perhaps, if it's not possible to obtain the unlock code, is there a way to hack/root this phone or install a different firmware that may allow for it to be used with AT&T? I'd appreciate any help/advice I can get. I'd rather not just toss this phone when my friend can benefit from it.

Sincerely,

GT

I was also looking for a minimalistic mount for my phone. I hate those suction cup and dashboard mounts so I got the tetrax xway and I love it.
