Thanks mate :).

To get all stuff clearly:

1. Using Odin (PDA option) -> install PhilZ Touch.

2. Using Odin (PDA option) -> install CF-Auto-Root

3. Using Recovery -> Wipe everything, then install CM 10.1 ZIP from SD.

4. Using Recovery -> install Gapps ZIP from SD.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkStryder:
1. To save u the trouble just install normal cwm, because philz touch u have to install as a zip in cwm, also philz has options u wont use anyway

[GT-P3100][Kernel] Compiled kernel does not boot!

Hi,

I'm trying to boot my galaxy tab2 7 with compiled kernel.

First, I downloaded kernel source from http://opensource.samsung.com.

I download GT-P3100_JB_Opensource_Update2.zip file and extract it.

To compile, I followed ketut.kumajaya's thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086996)

I build only kernel, not other modules. Compile was done without problem.

And I extract boot.img from Stock ROM file downloaded from samsung-updates.com (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3100).

Stock ROM version is P3100XXCLJ3 (that's my device's baseband version).

I unpacked boot.img and I got boot.img-kernel.gz and boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz.

(To make sure unpack/repack tool is working properly, I unpack Stock boot.img and repack it. And the new boot.img was working properly).

So, I replace boot.img-kernel.gz with zImage and repack it.

But this time new boot image does not working (Device stuck in boot logo)

What did I done wrong? Any body help! I've been stuck with this for a week now...

(When stock ROM is flashed, Kernel version in device info is "3.0.31-595683"

[**solved**] - description on HOW - read some posts below

Dear Experts, this time it's me who needs your help.

It seems to me, I encountered the worst worst case with my P3100.

While flashing with Odin the PC crashed and I now have "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." So far so good.

Kies doesn't list the device in its recovery list (although connected & recognized as connected)

Flashing again with Odin successfully starts, but then the device hangs for eternity while flashing "system.img".

Tried with various settings. boot.img and recovery.img seemed to have been flashed successfully, but then it starts with system.img.

Anybody any idea?

How long should it take to flash this part (waited for 30 Minutes, the bar didn't proceed)?

Can I somehow enter this already flashed recovery? (probably not)

Are there error messages from Odin? Here not...

Thank you in advance - Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregzi:
It is more or less kernel dependent. About stock JB:

KK-Boot - Custom boot image for stock JB 4.1.1 ROM for P51xx (see Android development section) does support boot animation. You simply have to put Bootanimation.zip to System/Media, clear cache and reboot.

I recommend you to do nandroid backup first and than flash 0.5.0 core kernel with CWM or TWRP. If anything goes wrong, than reflash the stock kernel from OP.

I have tested this by myself on P5100 and working perfectly.

- Which version of Odin are you using?

- Do You have the right stock firmware for your device?

- Did you (if using windows) launched Odin by right clicking with option "Run as Administrator"?

- Are you absolutely certain, that nothing, absolutely nothing from Samsung is running in the background while using Odin, like Kies Agent?

While considering all above and reflashing the stock firmware "xxxxxxxx.tar.md5" (Repartition must not be ticked) again with Odin 3.07 .... what is the result?

Try looking on the back of your tablet or u should b able to see your model number. And for roms I would recommend cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feralicious:
Some very basic questions...

So I've only had one smartphone that I've rooted and flashed custom ROMs on - HTC Rezound - and from what I've read it's quite a different process on that from anything else. Easy for me since that's what I learned, but I've heard that using Odin is a lot easier. But I don't really know about it so it's not easier for me. ;) And I'm probably getting a SGT2 7 so I'm looking into how to deal with it.

From what I've read Odin is basically a tool that allows you to flash. Is it only for Samsung products? Can you use the same version on different tablets and phones? I found a thread in here that's a guide to rooting and it sounds like it assumes you already have Odin ready to go. Sounds like you install it on your pc?

Another question I have is how many different models of the SGT2 7 are there? I didn't know about the variants until I started looking through this forum. I see one on Amazon for $199 and Costco has one for $189 but I have no idea if they are the same or not. Are they all the same size? I need to know how big they are to see if they'll fit in my dash to replace my car's HU (double din). (I posted a thread asking for the exact dimensions so I'm hoping that they are the same for each model. If you feel like posting them in this thread that works for me!)

Looks like ROMs are made for certain model numbers, I'm wondering why? Because of carriers? I don't want to get one that needs a data plan, just wifi to tether it to my phone.

Which brings me to my last question... I shouldn't need to root to tether it to my phone, right? My phone is rooted and running wifi tether and I tether my laptop with no issues. I just want to be able to take my time looking into this new method and device before I start playing around with rooting it and flashing a ROM.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrao_n:
You dont need to root for tether. Since you are only connecting to wifi. The different roms for different models is because of the partitions im assuming. I have the gt-p5113 wifi us model. Mine is a 10.1. I think the 3100 (7 inch) has a 3g network connection. The 3110 is wifi only. And the 3113 is wifi only with an infrared blaster. Since its going in your dash I suggest a 3100 or 3110. All are 7 inch. All have wifi so no worries there. Odin is a universal tool from samsung. You can use it across different samsung models. Some may require the latest release of odin because they just came out. You can download the software from samsung. In fact unless you find a link here I would just go to samsungs website and get it. Think of it like an ruu except you can change what it flashes. Odin flashes tars. Not zips. Also there is no hboot to worry about. Odin is my get out of jail free card when I mess something up doing something stupid lol. If you need anyy more info feel free to ask.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
A very good summary, only thing to add, is that for each model you have two versions: one with 8 GB and one with 16 GB internal. (The prices you mentioned are probably the 8 GB models (which I find absolutely enough).

The devices are very easy to root and flash compared to HTC, you'll also have no (PC) driver issues.

P3113

Hoping to get some help on a few basic questions. I've been reading through the forum, as well as googling stuff and I think I know what I need to do but would like confirmation.

I've got a 3113 on stock 4.1.1 that I rooted with Chainfire's Auto-Root, figured that was the safest and easiest method to quickly allow me to get Titanium on my tab to backup my apps. Now, I'd like to get CWM on there, so I can make a nandroid and play around with some custom roms. :laugh:

Question 1: From what I've read so far, it seems that you can't use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, is this true?

Question 2: If I can't fastboot, I know I will have to use Odin. However, I was only able to find some older versions of CWM (6.0.1.0 & 6.0.1.1) in tar format. I did find newer versions (6.0.2.3 & 6.0.2.7) but they were either image or zipfiles.

So, can I just use Odin to flash the older CWM, then use that CWM to flash the zip for a newer version? If this can be done, does it matter whether I start with 6.0.1.0 or 6.0.1.1?

Question 3: I've downloaded the 4.1.1 stock from Sammobile. If I ever want to go back to pure unrooted stock, will flashing this in Odin do this for me?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mike T
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Hi Mike, I can't answer all of your questions, but

#2: Very simple - you should use the latest 6.0.2.7: rename the file recovery_somewhat***.img to recovery.img

Tar this into a file named eg cwm6026.tar (NO *.tar.md5 file!) - now you can flash it with odin - and yes, then flash the zips through cwm

#3: I flashed a stock rom recently and it completely got back to normal (including unroot), the flash counter got also reset BUT i'm not sure if it initially is 0 or 1. Mine was 1 afterwards.

Kind regards - Chris

PS: if you use 6.0.2.7 consider that there are menu entries beyond your screen - simply scroll down to see them... it's a bit irritating at the beginning

Samsung Tab 2 (7.0, 3113 Wifi with IR)

Android vers 4.1.1 (afaik latest for this device)

1) Could anyone recommend a case? I need something that can flip (prefer a magnet based lock). It needs to be able to take massive impacts (ie. drop from onto cement from 2 meters) from EVERY angle, including corners. I also need it real quick (within 12 days) - so big department stores are good, and Amazon Prime is good (I live in Canada)

2) Is there any way to adjust screen dim time?

3) Is there any way to have the screen automatically turn on/off using the sensors? Namely, the light and proximity sensors. Ex. proximity sensor: IF object is detected within 2 cm continuously for 5 seconds, shut off screen. IF object is removed, turn screen on. I had a Nexus 7 with a magnetic flip case, in which the Nexus 7 would automatically turn on when the flap was opened, and turn off when the flap was closed, as sensed by its magnetometer.

4) Could I get detailed instructions into the installation of Cyanogenmod? What exactly is it good for? Any other BIOSes worth looking into?

5) A suggestion for a fast PDF reader? I need something that will process large, coloured images very quickly (a large sized travel book).

6) Any tweaks to maximize speed? I just bought it 2 days ago and its not as fast as I'd like even out of the box.

7) Is there any way to get better camera quality? I want to use it in the place of a discrete camera (personal reasons).

Thanks in advace. Any help with even one of the questions would be great.

Red X Staying On When Unplugged

Last week my tablet refused to turn on one afternoon. I had walked home in the rain, so I figured some moisture got in. I could reset it by holding the power button down, but it took several tries. Then it quit turning on at all for a couple days. Finally, after days of repeated tries I got it to turn on and stay on last night. However, the battery charging icon has a red x and bolt symbol, when it's unplugged. I gather this means the charging port is damaged, perhaps by moisture?

When I plug in my samsung charger, the battery app says it's discharging. I turned it off last night and charged it up while powered off and was able to get it to 100%. Does that mean I can no longer charge it while powered on? That seriously sucks. Any fixes?
