Hello peeps,

Been having the "TestService" and "Copy & Paste" issue on my GTp3100 7" so i heard rooting and some other steps would fix it. Now i want to root. I've read forums, watch videos. I followed a video i found easy. I used Odin 3.7 + cwm_6.0.1.1.tar and was asked to flash CWM_root_gtab2 from the recovery. I followed every step in the video but i am not still rooted. The Odin process went same as happened in the video, i'm sure cos i watched evry step before applying it. on the part where the video guy booted into recovery to flash cwm_root_gtab2, his recovery was Clockword MOD, mine was the built in one. Pls, who could help me with another method. thanks. Pls be clear enuff for a NOoB.

I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3100... This is what caused the problem :

4. So, I tried to tweak "vold.fstab"...

5. BOOM! access to SD card LOST!!

Hi Guys

I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 P5100. I have rooted it. I have tried to install CyanogenMod 10.2 and after i was told that it wasn't stable i went and tried to install 10.1 version. The end result in the same with both versions. I installes i then rebbot the devive and i get the CyanogenMod logo as loading, spinning around like it's loading, but nothing happens after that. I have tried it a few times and the result is always the same. I then go on recovery mode with clockworkMod Recovery and use my backup to be able to use the tablet again. I have also tried to install the JB 4.3 as well as 4.2.2 with odin, it looks like it gets installed but nothing happens once the tablet has been rebootet it is still the 4.1.2 JB version installed.

I have gotten all the previously mentioned files from this website, from posts from codeworks.

I really just want to make my tablet a bit faster and less laggy.

I'm pretty new to rooting, flashing Mods and all that. So i would like to appologize for asking noobie questions, but i am a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Can somebody help me please?

Hello Guys

Hello guys I'm new here, I hope I'm posting in the right place, I have absolutely no experience in this field.

So here is my problem I rooted my device using this guide, I rooted without flashing the bootloader.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791193

I now have an app called superuser, however the reason I rooted was so I can transfer my apps from internal storage to my 8gb sd card, theoretically allowing me a total of 16gb. However I've ran into a hurdle I can't seem to find a way to transfer the apps to sd card I thought it was only a matter of finding the right app once I rooted the device however that hasn't been the case on App2SD I'm told there is not enough memory while titanium backup does not even show me the option to send to sd card, I've been following this tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726014

so i created an ext 2 partition, I'm not even sure what this is and must it only be 2gb max, i plan to use the entire 8gb for apps?

Someone mentioned creating a folder called apps in the ext 2 partition so that the send to sd card option shows up on titanium however I am not sure how to do that.

I'm formatting the entire sd into an ext 2 partition right now and going to create an apps folder in that hoping that it might work, I'm an an absolute so can someone please guide me through this.

Thank you in advance guys.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Hey lalaland - be welcome here; it's the right place to be ;)

Not all ROM's actually support a2sd. My own experience is, that then even app2sd often fails.

To check whether your ROM supports it open the console and enter the commands:

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
a2sd install, choose Y -> N -> Y

The last command will return an error, if a2sd is not supported.

The process will make NO harm to your tab or ROM. Just advice: reboot the device afterwards (in both cases: successful or not) - to get in any case your default mounting back

no offense taken... i was under the impression that unless the Tab 2 indicated visually that it was in download mode, then it wasn't. I've managed to get it there a few times, but it seems fairly random, even though I'm employing the same method each time.

In any event, in theory since it's showing up as "device added" in Odin, I should be able to flash the stock rom, correct? Whenever I try to do this, it fails. Should I try flashing a custom rom instead? Any thoughts? Would the bootloader be messed up perhaps--I'm not sure where to find the stock bootlader but maybe it needs to be reinstalled a well?

Thanks for your help everybody.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
i'm pretty sure, correct me if i'm wrong, that odin flashables (especially using pda) have to be done within download mode... odin will recognize the device either way, but the device has to be ready to receive the data...

do you have a custom recovery installed? but also, if you do have a custom recovery, you can flash a working rom, even a stock based one... so that might be easier and bypasses having to use odin....

and yeah, the device will indicate that it's in download mode... exactly like the pics i attached.. (and yes this tablet does say it's a "phone" on the disclaimer screen)

as always though, i'm not responsible if you jack your device...

edit* another thought occurs to me, earlier you said that odin fails to install a rom. what kind of file are you trying to load into odin? because, i'm pretty sure that odin only flashes .tar files, and specific zips... and is not meant for ROM flashable .zips...

again, not trying to be rude, just trying to get to know your situation by what you've said in here.

CWM Recovery

Can anyone help me re-install CWM recovery on my GTP3113?

I think I must have installed the wrong version (with Odin) when I rooted my device, because, although it seemed to be working OK at first, now I can not see the device or sd cards when connected to my computer by USB. Consequently, I can not use Odin to download files from my pc. I downloaded the ROM Manager apk, which is pretty cool, but it fails to install the recovery program. It appears to download the correct version, but then gives an error message that it did not install, which makes be believe I have other corrupt (or just plain wrong) android files.

I thought maybe Mobile Odin could work, but my understanding of it is that the tab needs to be booted up to run the program, and with corrupt files... I have tried different ROM's that I could download to the tab and install (with the version of CWM recovery I currently have), but there are still problems.

Thanks in advance! You guys are great!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
the .tar is right... its so strange that you can't get into download mode..... however, i found out that it is completely impossible to boot into download mode or recovery mode when the device is plugged in... you can boot into recovery right?

If you can get back into recovery, try and perform a full reset: do a factory reset and wipe caches.

when i odin back to unrooted stock on my phone sometimes it gets caught in a boot loop if i didn't do this afterword..

so maybe try that if you haven't.. besides that, i couldn't find an odin file with a working link in the dev section...

if that still doesn't work.. then its beyond me... since you can't get into download mode it makes things a little more difficult...

I tried connecting to a different computer with the same problem, so I think it is the tablet.

Other funny things happen on the tab that make me believe there is some underlying problem. For example: when i try to open the storage tab in settings, I get an error message, something to the effect that "Unfortunately, settings has stopped." Also, remember that when I try to use ClockworkMod ROM manager, it starts the download, but does not complete the installation. When I use a file manager, it does not show the ext sd card, yet I can access some files on the ext sd card while in recovery.

I still think the problem is with my recovery files. I would like to reinstall, hoping things would get better. My next approach is to take the ext sd card out of the tab and mount to my pc, where I can still transfer files. If I could figure out how to convert an .img file to a zip file, I could convert one of the official CWM recovery files, place it on the ext sd card, reinsert to the tab and flash it. RIGHT???

BTW, I do not know what kies is, so I doubt if I have it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
I have a flash able zip for the touch version of the newest CWM.. I posted it over here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38248312

Flash it and then reboot recovery..

Also try flashing stuff from internal memory instead of external.

Maybe your sd card is corrupt as well?.. Your phone not being able to read the card and recovery "sort of" sees it is a symptom of that.. but maybe it's the rom.. I can't remember if you said you flashed other roms..

One thing you can do to isolate the problem is to odin back to stock and completely wipe everything including internal storage, so make sure you back EVERYTHING up that you can. .

But that requires your tablet to be recognized by your computer,...

so odin doesn't see your tablet when it's in download mode?

And finally, kies is a Samsung application for your pc, and when you install it, it installs drivers for your device. also you can wirelessly connect your device to your computer with it as well..
