Tried to return to stock on my GT-P5113 using mobile Odin and the instructions on some thread i found in the forum and it won't boot pass the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 screen. It does boot into download mode but sadly i have no windows pc in my house at the moment. Is it hard bricked?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexxmor:
Can you Boot into recovery? I think you must flash a New kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bor3d2damax:
Nope. I can't get pass that screen. I can get to download mode so maybe if i flash the recovery files through odin that can work. I need to know for sure before I screw up again though

OK, here is my question:

I just got a SGT2 7 P3110 (wi-fi only) 8G with the model numer XXCLK7 with Android 4.1.1 and I want to update to 4.2.2.

I saw that I need the firmware region ZTO but my question is: Can I install any region firmware or I'll have problems?

What about those 4.2.2 firmwares that we have here like this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2202854 ?

Thanks,

It's softbrickt, happens too me to when i flashed with mobile ODIN, flash a new Firmware using PC ODIN. (Complete Firmware or only the Recovery to flash a ROM zip)

You can flash every ROM for your Device, regions are uselles, live in Germany and flashed a Honkkong firmware on my 3110, so flash the firmware of your choise. The 4.2.2 Firmwares are not from Samsung, this are AOSP based ROM's.

Hi,

I have a p5100 that is currently on CM 10.1. Now, I want to get back to stock. Is this tutorial appropriate? Or should I flash a stock ROM and root it before using Triangle Away, as the tablet is in CM?

Thank you.

Only going on personal experience here, I've flashed a few various ROMs to date, so I'd go with the latter

Fresh stock ROM flash, root and if it bothers you that much, triangles away. Pretty much exactly what I did anyway.

Hi there

I flashing may tab with cm 10.1 yesterday. But after that i found a problem. That is my tab cant eject usb flash disk that connected with otg cable. It can read the fd, but cant eject it, bcuz safely remove hardware doesnt appear in the notification bar like before flashing.

I think it was just bcuz the firmware. Bcuz cm10.1 isnt stable version. So i flash it again with 4.1.1 jelly bean official. But still found the same problem, but its becoming worse. my tab can't read usb flash disk. It just can read the otg cable, not the fd. When i plug the otg cable, it say "usb connector connected" and then i plug the fd, but theres no respon. And safely removable hardware still didnt appear too in the notification bar.

Somebody please help me.

Sorry for my bad english.

Wifi problem

I have a problem with WiFi connection since some time.

The WiFi signal says excellent (in an n wireless router, with 100 MB fiber connection). But the speed connected is 5Mb. That says android when I touch over the name of my connected SSID.

And the real speed... Is real crap... Non consistent, uses to oscillate between 2-3 MB or just around less than half one... or even no data at all for some seconds...

It was so since I started to have WiFi problems at home, 'cause there are far too many WiFi LANs round my flat (sometimes I could count nearly 30!), and the crappy comtrend router my Internet provider gave me was unable to manage that scenario, letting my devices connect, but not serving data to them, or incredibly slow...

I then bought a new router, a Netgear, that's behaving wonderfully (even more after I stalling openwrt, such a nice firmware!).

All WiFi connections are now performing wonderfully... except my p5110... WiFi only, :-\

I was in ICS 4.0.3 stock (no updates still in Spain... Samsung, what are you doing?). And I've just Installed CM 10.1 to get JB and also to try if WiFi behaves better. But its the same. Even placing the tablet 40cm away of the router, with nothing in between, WiFi connection is stable (and blue), but data speed is non stable, and starts around 54Mb, but in less than a minute it falls again to the oscillation between 2-3Mb (the less time), less than 1Mb (most), or nearly nothing (too much).

Don't know if it's any WiFi problem with this tablet (and if there is any patch or solution, found nothing to this respect), an incompatibility between router and tablet, or a crappy chip in the tablet that cannot manage so many connections, even week, around, and provokes this slow response by router....

Any idea?

Thanks

@skurvy44

Best thing for you to do is flash the right cwm recovery to your device then clear the caches, do a factory reset and see how that goes.

As always backup your important data first.

All the best, Mark

Did that when installing CM 10.1 a couple of days ago. But no improvement... Thanks anyway.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_samgal:
Sorry that reply was to skurvy44, have edited it to reflect that

For you, have you tried different WiFi channels ? I found that this helps in areas with lots of WiFi traffic,

this can or should be changeable on your modems config

All the best, Mark.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nachordez:
Thanks Mark!

But unfortunately that's not solution. I've tried that, of course, but nothing improves. All channels are similarly occupied... and many SSID seem to be in automatic, so that change randomly...

If it could use the 5 GHz band, as my Nexus 4 does... Nobody there! But is not accessible in P5110, even if the chip originally could do. Bad, Samsung, bad...

Hello,

I got my self samsung galaxy tab 2 7", and it came with 4.04 "standard" rom... So I was gonna update it to 4.2 JB following this tutorial here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1722745

I tought I needed tutorial under B. section ( B. Install a JB-based ROM ), so I followed it step by step.

Only difference was I couldn't do step number 12 (12. Go to Backup/Restore and hit backup to external storage (it may take a while)) because it keep saying there is not enough space (even thou I haven't installed anything on device so memory should be enough), but I did press a "normal backup" and it went trough.

After restart (step 18), device is stuck into loading screen (some rotating thingies around the word Cyanogen), and if I plug it into computer I can't get memory card to read.

I searched this forum for this problem, but couldn't find it, so even a link to solution to this problem would be nice...

All the stock ROMs I have here are from sammobile and everytime I've flashed one the counter has gone up by 1. The "Official" part

refers to the recovery not the ROM itself. I have the stock 4.1.2 jb release on my p5110, Mine also called it "Official" until I flashed

cwm recovery, now it calls it custom.

Should be plenty of free dialers on the market that don't require root you could use.

I did notice when I first tried that ROM is it did the same to me on the first boot, I just held down the power button until it

rebooted again and then it was fine, otherwise the best thing I could suggest is if you haven't already, is flash a recovery, then clear all caches. Re-flash the Cyanogen ROM.

I have a p3113 rooted on jb 4.1.1

Under settings/ data usage it shows something called Delete Apps . It shows that delete apps has used 178 mb of data .

Why am i using data if i am deleting apps , or am i misunderstanding it ?

it shows 0.0 kb in foreground usage and 178 mb in background usage .

Ah, damn. Any chance someone could send me their P3100 efs folder so that I could at least try to fix this? I've heard that the folder contains personal information, so please do change them to fake ones if you're afraid of getting scammed. Also, I'd like to know what I need to change to make it work on my device. I don't really want to send it in for service because it's not exactly a cheap operation.

I'd be very grateful if someone could do this.

EDIT: Progress! I repartitioned and remounted the /efs folder, and the system generated new files in it! No more mount faiilures. The problem is, they are generic files, so the IMEI and all the other stuff is probably wrong. I know they can be changed, and that is what i'm going to do. In addition to the IMEI and the serial number, what other numbers/identifiers are essential to make the 3G modem work, and where can I find those?

-first, update Recovery (using Download mode and Odin and TAR archive) - CWM 6.0.3.1 or PhilZ Touch 4.96.5 - which one is better?

-second, root (using Download mode and Odin and TAR archive) - CF-Auto-Root (CF-Auto-Root-espresso10rf-espresso10rfxx-gtp5100.zip) or (using Recovery mode -> ZIP update) - cwm-root-gtab2a.zip - which one is better?

-third, CyanogenMod 10.1 (using Recovery mode -> ZIP Update), next -> Wipe data/factory reset, then -> Wipe cache partition, next -> Wipe dalvik cache

-fourth, Gapps (using Recovery mode -> ZIP Update), next -> Wipe data/factory reset, then -> Wipe cache partition, next -> Wipe dalvik cache

Do I need to Wipe all stuff after second step (root) or any other steps?
