Root Time

Hello peeps...

I wan to root my device. I've searched google, i get different confusing steps. So i ignored. Now, someone please help me...

I want to root my SGT2 7'' Ive downloaded Odin, CWM Root Tab2, Recovery.tar.md5, and other files, but i am confused on how to go about it. I download TOUCH Recovery from ClockWordMod and would prefer to have that cos i use 4ext when i had my HTC Desire S. I loved it.. easy navigation, So pls, someone should just help me with the steps to root my device. Thanks

Ola !

Did you resolve your problem ? I am just wondering is it possible to do like you plannig .

Goog luck !
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yokav:
Hey,

I've on more question... :silly:

A) It's not possible to keep the custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), it's gone after each normal reboot, right?

And now, if someone can show me approximatively which steps I should follow to get what I want because I'm a little lost. I'm reading all the things that I can since 2~3 days but I'm not sure at 100% of what I've to do. And to avoid any softbrick, it's better to be sure. :p

I've a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - GT-P5100 (wifi + 3g), it's actually untouch so no root/cwm/custom rom. And ICS 4.0.3 as pre-install os. Device is coming from central europe. :)

What I would like to have:

- Last update of JB for the device, so it seems to be JB 4.1.2.

- Root + CWM.

- The filesystem of JB 4.1.2 so I will be able to deodex it and include root, debloatware it and so on.

- About the kernel, with sony devices I prefer to keep stock one to don't loose my warranty but here it seems that whatever I will do, I will lost it. So if there is a better kernel for stock rom...

P5100 themes

Is there any themes that ara universal for all roms and if they are , where can I download or firstly see them ?

Now I am on Project v3 + Kalagas Mixed Theme but I would like to try some other themes.

:good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkStryder:
Right my friend......

First of all if u flash cwm, twrp any custom recovery you will not lose it on a reboot only way to lose it is to flash stock rom.

You can go samfirmwares.com and download the latest firm (4.1.2) for your country if there isnt one then download one from say spain(my country) and there will be no problem as it makes no difference.

Also on samfirmware.com you can find odin, now you connect your device in download mode open odin select PDA and then select firm u downloaded from samfirmware.com wait a bit......... Them it will say PASS then u can disconnect. Let it boot up and do your setup guide and reboot.

Then you need to find cf-Autoroot from here on xda/galaxy tab 2/ general section or dev section cant remember so just give it a search, once you found flash it same as you did firmware, when it reboots it will do thew things and presto. You r rooted, now you want to flash cwm, twrp what ever you prefer. I recommend cwm, wich you can also find here on xda flash that also with odin, I would recommend you use philz recovery if you gonna flash roms it has a nice touch interface and some advanced options.

You can now debload all you ****ing want :D. Kernel is big good for stock! Though battery is affected if you do get fed up of stock lag then go with kk-boot kernel or Blackhawk kernel (both compatible with stock jb (only jb not ics)

Hope ive been of help, I know your a noob thats why I gave you the name a where to look no links is better so you learn! :D always educate a noob

PEACE MAN!

Was wondering if I can flash a P5110 ROM on my P5113 Tablet? Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sas007:
In short YES

5110 European version wifi only

5113 American version wifi only

5100 International version Wifi+3g+telephony

See where you live

5110 and 5113 are near identical but 5113 has ir blaster and peel app as bonus to control your home appliances via ir remote

so if you want all functions to work like ir blaster use a 5113 rom stock

if your not to bothered there are loads of roms compatible with both 5110 and 5113 (51xx)

Some more questions... sorry :D

A) Does a wipe of data+system and install a rom (without kernel) by using CWM will increase the flash counter?

B) Is there a way to see the current amount of the flash counter?

C) It's not necessary to have rooted the rom to be able to install CWM and use it?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkStryder:
A) yes

B) yes in download mode

C) not stock recovery no but if u install custom rom kernel will come in that rom. Custom kernels come prerooted, I think you need root yes

The app was specifically created for the Samsung Galaxy S3, but when tried on Note 2 it worked too. I think this should work for Note 10.1, S3 Mini and other Samsung devices which come with MTP enabled. You can try it on your device

Would really appreciate your help:

My specs: SG tab 2 10.1 GT P5110 4.1.1	Unlocked + rooted (CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifixx-gtp5110) Clockwork Mod Recovery, Rom Manager, Superuser installed

Accidentally pressed FIX PERMISSIONS in Rom manager, script ran for while then prompted to restart. After long restart no access to applications black screen with just settings available.

Please be kind I am a beginner…

but I am really good at following instructions.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Hi Shyonnu

Try to clean up your caches in Recovery, including dalvik cache.

If this doesn't work, maybe you have to "reset to factory default" = your flashed ROM including new permissions.

Before doing this second step, pleas ewait a couple of hours if anybody has a better proposal...

Greetz - Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyonnu:
Thanks just found that recovery won't come up??? just odin mode...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Hey Onnu (no need to be "shy" in here ;) )

didi you follow this procedure?:

1. Shut down the device

2. Press Volume UP - and keep it pressed

3. Switch on your device - release this button (only) when your device starts, keep vol-up pressed...

... until it enters the recovery.

Didi it work?

Greetz - Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyonnu:
No that is exacty what I did. it only will go to Odin mode

custom binary download: Yes (5 counts)

current binary: custom

starting to think I am really in trouble:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
You're NEVER in trouble unless Odin starts ;)

The simpliest way (for ME :D ) would mean that you download Clockword ROM Manager and install it (it's worth it anyhow!) and start from there into recovery...

When I was YOUNG, I also knew how to enter recovery from within your situation.... but to be honest - long ago; I don't remember it, sorry! (anyone else??)

Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyonnu:
Thanks Chris for your patience - I found recovery and did what you recommended -

it then launched into Android updating... but same result as before

Should I reset into factory settings?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
No need to thank me unless you're out of trouble ;)

THAT depends on your settings and personal data - will you get in trouble loosing them?

If not - yes please - reset to factory default.

Greetz - Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkStryder:
Re flash via odin, it updates your tab and you shouldn't lose your data! But make sure u flash jb not ics as ics does format the device

Actually I myself own only a P3100.

I personally follow the releases of "Cyanogen Mod" which is currently at its Release 10.1.2.

Find all downloads for P5110 under http://www.get.cm/?device=p5110.

For you as a beginner, as you call yourself, you should apply the stable RELEASES under http://www.get.cm/?device=p5110&type=stable ; latest: CM 10.1.1

Thank you for the response, when i was on ICS and turned on my wifi it automatically

After a successful update the tab reboots, then a pop up displays which type of carrier

to use, the postpaid and prepaid (both Globe, from Philippines), i choose prepaid.

I did checked for my APNs and it was already set by my carrier, and activated.

Now my tab has a signal, but no arrow up/down on notif area, even if i ticked on the mobile data,

and has a triangle with exclamation point which happens to be a notifier for...

"No Service, selcted network, Globe not available"

I did changed the sim card, but still no luck.

Is there any possibility to download different package of JB in order to work this thing out
