1st try - Used your TWRP. Advanced Wipe - dalvik, system, cache, internal storage. Reflashed 9.1 build with Pico gapps 4.4.4. Same as before, could not install more then 3 apps. Settings/storage says ~500mb Available.

2nd try - Used your TWRP. Advanced Wiped - Dalvik, system, cache, data, internal storage. And, Format Data.

Reboot, look at settings/storage says 4.3 gb - YES!!! Formatting Data and/or wiping data with your TWRP seems to have cleaned things up. I did a system reset and wipes before that I think should have removed any data.

Thank you again for your help!

Drivers suddenly don't work with CWM 6.0.5.1?

I'm really frustrated, and don't know where I'm going wrong. I installed CWM Recovery 6.0.2.7, as per the CM wiki, and the instructions stickied on this forum's FAQ (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182096).

This worked fine, and I flashed CM 12.1 successfully, but I couldn't get any version of gapps to install properly (Error 7), no matter what I tried (I googled for hours).

I came across some comments that one needed a higher version of CWM Recovery, so I duly downloaded 6.0.5.1 from Android-Andi's files. I managed to install this recovery without problems, but now whenever I try to adb push the ROMs I want (using Heimdall, as per CM wiki instructions), I keep getting "error: device not found". Google says this means a driver issue - but my driver was working for installing the recovery file in the first place, and it worked for older CWM Recovery versions? Nevertheless, I used the zadig.exe tool in the Heimdall suite, and tried every combination of drivers they offer, but I just cannot push my ROM zip files to the device? None of these drivers seems to work.

What am I doing wrong here?

[EDIT]: Ultimately, what I'm trying to do (for the first time), is install a better ROM on my old Tab2, which is just too sluggish to cope any more.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrc2:
If you are trying to flash a custom ROM, you do NOT need Heimdall or Odin. You just do a full wipe and flash the zip in recovery. I recommend the latest TWRP from [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION]'s thread. If you do not wish to transfer the rom.zip file to your tablet, you can use the ADB Sideload feature in TWRP. In the newer versions of TWRP, sideload does not transfer the zip to your tablet. Instead, it flashes it over the USB cable from your computer. You will need proper drivers for adb to work.

Very new to flashing for this device. I've got a P5113 on rooted stock 4.2.2, and I wanna flash SlimLP. I take it I have to flash a custom recovery first to do anything else, right? And do ROMs like SlimLP include their own custom recovery and kernel, or do I have to get those separately?

Yes, you will need a custom recovery. You can use CFAutoRoot to root and install recovery and then flash the latest TWRP recovery in that recovery. [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION] has a recovery thread in the development section.

SlimLP doe come with a kernel. Just wipe and flash it. If you want Google apps, flash the Gapps as well.

Maybe you give some more information about what you have done and what steps you did?

It's all about timing on pressing button combo. If you haven't flashed files from a different device, then there is no reason for a total brick.

P5113 to P5110 Help

HI Guys,

I bought the WiFi Tab2 10.1 while I was in the states and I am now back home in Australia. I have noticed the Australian version of this Tab is the P5110, basically the same, just missing the IR Blaster.

There is an app I have been trying to use called Foxtel go to watch my pay TV subscription on my tab but it recognises that its the US version.

My question is, what do I have to do to get my P5113 to look like the P5110 to the app? Its unrooted running 4.2.2

Will I have to root and then go changing model/build numbers etc? then flash the stock Aus firmware?

The app also recognises rooted devices but people have got around it with HideMyRoot or disabling root in Supersu.

Is it possible to make these changes then unroot completely and it will stay the same, or will it go back to factory?

I dont have any experience with rooted devices but have been reading forums looking for an answer for a while. Just dont want to brick it!

Thank guys

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DARED3ViL:
Hello everyone, I need help with my Galaxy Tab p5100.

Few days ago, I switched from CM 10.3, to SlimKat build 9 (stable). To do so, I had to install the CWM 6.0.4.5. I did this through recovery mode (I had an earlier version and flashed the new version through the older one) and it worked just fine.

I unlocked the root feature, installed some apps, including the Xposed Module, Greenify and BootManager.

Everything was working just fine til yesterday. Before sleeping, I turned off the tab.

Today, and all of a sudden, as soon as I turned the tab on, it keept on rebooting every two minutes for no apparent reason. It just starts, boots into Slimkat, then it reboots.

At first I thought it might be a malfunctioning app, so I booted into safe mode, it stayed a little longer than 2 mins without a reboot, then it rebooted again. Tried that more than once.

I did a factory reset, wiped cache, cleared Dalvik and formatted system from the mount and storage section. Still the problem was there, and surprisingly all my apps and personal data was still there!!

Tried the back up and reset option from the ROM itself, while on safe mode, and still nothing happened.

I tried to flash CM 10.3 back via the CWM, it tells me that it succeeded, then I reboot and SlimKat is still there!

I tried to install the TWRP via Odin, and the Odin said PASS. Then when I rebooted into recovery I found that CWM 6.0.4.5 still there!!

I tried to flash the TWRP via the existing CWM, and again it says operation is successful but when I reboot into recovery I find that CWM is still taking over.

I even tried to flash the official JB 4.2.2 ROM via Odin, and it FAILED. (the P5100XXDMH1.tar file)

I feel pretty helpless and I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :)

latest youtube requires an android upgrade

Hello, I am a newbie who has just joined. I have a Stock standard Australian Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5110 with 16Gb SD card, WiFi-only.

Yesterday, I ran into a problem when trying to play a new youtube video using the latest youtube app - it told me I had to run a later version of Android than has been released by Samsung. eek.

So, googling led me here in search of a latest "and closest-to-stock-standard" (or, latest and most commonly used) version of Android to somehow install in my trusty old P5110.

I see I have some catching up to do - I don't understand the concepts or the terminology and am not sure where to start looking for instructions.

Am I right in thinking that I need to

- install a P5110 ROM manager, say from www clockworkmod com / rommanager

- choose a release (which one, given my criteria of: close to vanilla stock standard, in common use, play store access for a few apps, runs latest youtube for movies, operates chromecast well ?)

- somehow backup its current stock standard samsung ROM in case of disaster

- install the new release somehow ... instructions depend on the chosen release, however hopefully by just copying it to the SD card first ?

Any advice would be gratefully accepted.

[MENTION=6832568]kenoath3333[/MENTION] you need to flash custom recovery for P511x to be able to install any custom ROM (operating system, later Android version). It can be flashed either by using Odin/Windows, or Heimdall/Linux

Once in custom recovery (PhilZ, TWRP, etc) you can do a nandroid backup of your currently used system and then erase it and install ROM.zip and GApps.zip, also to install SuperSU.zip to use benefits of root.

My personal reccomendation: SlimKat

You can't use ROM manager if your device has no root. Besides, CWM recovery it offers is outdated (v.6.0.2.7) and cannot flash KitKat

GT-p5113 TWRP Rom flashing issue

I am in the process of attempting to install cyanogenmod on a GT-p5113 tablet. I'm not committed to running CM by any means, it's just what I know and use on my phone. If there's a better rom for this device I'm all ears.

On to the problem:

When I was given the device, it had already been rooted and TWRP 2.8.5.0 had been installed. The previous owner wiped the device without making any backups so I have no access to any previous installs. So, I went ahead and downloaded both the CM 11 nightly and CM 10 snapshots from the official CM site along with Gapps, stuck them on an SD card and figured everything should install with no problems. No matter which CM I try to install, I get the following error:

"Error executing updater binary in zip" (followed by the CM zip file name)
