<SOLVED: see EDIT at bottom of post>

OK, I've got my P3113 rooted with PhilZ Touch 6 and installed the CM11 rom on it. However, my storage space remaining is tiny, at 654MB. I assumed things didn't get wiped properly on install. I installed again, making sure to do all of the following:

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe Davlik Cach

Wipe Data/Factory Reset (Clean to Install a new ROM)

Format /System

Naturally, I was afraid to perform any of the other "format" options in PhilZ like /data, /cache, /preload, /storage/sdcard1, or /data/media (/sdcard).

Should I format one or all of those options as well?

EDIT: After reading through some other threads, I found that I also needed to run "format /data/media (sdcard)". Now I'm on CM11 with 4.39GB! Hooray!

Well....welcome to Samsung's stock firmware features :D

Sorry, I was joking.... Are you sure to have flashed the right firmware for your device? (Not for other Tab2 model)? If yes, try to make factory reset in the recovery mode. If it doesn't help, try to reflash your stock ROM or download and flash another one.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wxlker:
I'm pretty sure i flash the right firmware for my device. Factory reset doesnt help. How do i reflash when odin dont detect my device? My computer recognise my device. But not in the download mode. And I cant get into the setting to enable the usb debugging mode.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Huh.... sounds like it made you bad mood already. Let's see now, here is your checklist:

Your Odin Version No?

Kies installed?

If yes: all Kies processes killed by the task manager?

Original USB cable?

Tried another USB port on your PC?

On many Samsung devices enabling of the USB debugging isn't even necessary for flashing with the PC-Odin (download mode works even without it) but it is definitely strongly recommended to have it enabled if anything goes wrong and you need ADB connection.

Overclock on Slimkat 4.4.2

I just recently flashed my virgin GT-P3110 with Slimkat 4.4.2 and was wondering if there is a way to overclock the CPU while on this ROM? TIA!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue_drt29:
Try this, may help

1. Download and install either of these apps on your device:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol&hl=en

2. Once installed, launch the app from your App Drawer.

3. Now use the available slider or the option to increase your CPU clock speed. Keep on increasing it slowly as long as your device doesn’t crash.

4. Make sure*not to choose save on boot option*in the app as it may crash your device.

5. Once your device becomes stable at a specific clock speed, close the app.

6. You’re all set!

Hmmm, let us try with different Odin then... try the attached one.

Make sure to run Odin as administrator

Prepare all files in Odin first (keep your Tab turned off that time) and when Odin is ready, run the Tab into the download mode then just short before you connect it with USB cable

Is the battery fully charged? Odin needs lots of battery juice....

If the problem persists even after full wipe and clean install, make a logcat and become useful for the development that way.

I don't really have a question; asides from where in the forum to post a solution to an issue that arose that I was able to resolve. The issue was that I would boot my galaxy tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113, but the system would act as if I had the settings for screensaver & powersave to be immediate, before I could select anything the screen would go blank as if to time out. I followed the youtube video to replace the screen, only had to open the case, re-align the buttons in the case, and close the case to have the issue resolved, it seems the power button was partially on.

Soft Brick issue

I have 2 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 sitting in my office that are from my wife's school. Long story short, the school was awarded some money and purchased them for use in the class, but the district will not support them. Enter me.

The tablets are GT-P5113 32GB models. They were purchased here in Canada, so I assume they are a Canadian model if that makes a difference.

One appears to be bricked. It will not turn on and I even pulled the battery and plugged it into the computer, hoping to initiate download mode. No go. It just flashes on and off in the Windows device list as connecting and disconnecting. I forget the title, but it is the CPU's name I believe. It doesn't come up as Samsung.

Tablet 2 would turn on and show a battery with a loading circle animation that wasn't moving. After multiple tries, I managed to get it to show the normal charging battery animation and allowed it to fully charge. Upon turning it on, it would go to the battery with a loading circle icon again. I managed to get the tablet into download mode and decided that I would reflash the stock firmware.

After finding a download for stock firmware, I used ODIN 3.07 to flash the device. Ondin responded with success, but the device never rebooted. When I turned it on, I received the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. I treid again, with the same results, success, but no reboot. I was curious and worried the battery would soon die, so I downloaded another stock firmware file, 4.04 instead of 4.1.1. Same result.

I even tried installing Kies, opening the tablet for the serial number and using the Firmware upgrade and initialization option as suggested by the tablet's screen. No luck. Kies tells me that model isn't able to be restored that way.

I thought maybe there was something wrong with the partition? I found a PIT file in a thread for this 32GB model, but ODIN says fail when it gets to that part of the flash. I suppose the school has other tablets so I could extract a PIT file from one of them. I just don't know if it will help because that was just a shot in the dark.

The other thing I haven't tried is to flash a custom ROM. I thought it was a long shot because I can't seem to get stock to flash on it.

I've pulled the battery to get the screen to shut off after trying all these things for like 6 and a half hours.

Any ideas? More than a soft brick?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Without battery, it is impossible to flash or to enter download mode.

Did you flash a compatible firmware? P511x and P5100 use different hardware. P5110 and P5113 are compatible.

PIT file is flashed never alone, but besides any stock firmware. In that case, the firmware gets chosen under PDA in Odin and PIT file under PIT, the re-partition option must be checked then (enabled).

Honestly I don't know if the PIT file for 32GB and 16GB differs in something. Check to be sure. It shouldn't be a problem to find one in www after some minutes of searching with google.

I don't think so. Give a try with any stock ROM and with PITfile flashed with Odin.

Before all this, if I was you, I would simply try factory reset and probably the Tab would boot up.

Also now, it seems like your chances are quite good.

Good luck, mate! :) let know about news.....
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooklathemok:
Thanks, I read somewhere that it may work. It has worked for my Moto Droid X in the past.

I made sure to find P5113 firmware. I even looked in the about screen of a working tablet to make sure I downloaded the same firmware. The only oddity was that the download site had P5113XAR and P5113XAC files. In the end, as I was frustrated and not having any success, I tried both with the same results.

This is the process I used. Sorry for not clarifying. I found a PIT file online that said it was specific to the 32GB, put it in the PIT section of ODIN, checked the re-partition box and put my firmware file in the PDA section. ODIN gets to the PIT flash and Fails out.

For whatever reason, I was unable to get to the stock recovery to Factory Reset. I tried over and over. I could only get into Download Mode.

Think I should try an older version of ODIN? I've read some devices seem to have a preference to certain versions of ODIN.

Are there any Tool kits for this tablet? If I remember correctly, the SGS3 and my Nexus 10 both have "tool kits" that are basically a linux live CDs. They boot up with instructions and a menu of options like rooting, flashing and in some cases troubleshooting.

Trying with different Odin version is definitely worth it. I just uploaded yesterday all versions that should work with Tab2 here:

Try to flash your firmware now without PIT file (in that case, re-partition mustn't be checked!)

As the firmware probably contains it anyway, we may get it working and exclude the possibility that PIT didn't really fit your hardware.

Many Apps Missing from Google Play Store

Hi,

I've got a GT-P3113 (Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" Wi-Fi only) running what I believe is the latest Samsung firmware - P3113UEUCMK3.

The problem that I'm having is that I don't seem to get all the apps in the Play Store. All the popular apps simply don't show up when searched.

For instance, this app - Poweramp appears when I search on my other cheap Chinese 7.0" tablet but it there are no results on the Galaxy Tab.

I've tried rooting it and installing Xposed Framework and this module to unrestrict the market but to no avail. (Even changed carriers to T-Mobile USA using the debug menu).

Does anyone know how I can get all the apps showing in my Play Store?

I was hoping someone could help me with what is probably a bit of a silly issue. I've recently been flashing Slimkat on my Tab 2 7.0 and had the RC3 release working fine. However once I got to installing all my old apps, I'd only installed about 3 before it said 'insufficient storage available'. When I looked at my internal storage, it said 'total space 4.59GB' as expected, but only '0.96GB available'. The usage didn't add up to anywhere near ~3GB used, so I was quite confused. Upon a bit of reading, I decided to install the new Slimkat build (3; official) and made sure to clear all caches, data/system etc. Everything I could think of, as suggested. But I've just booted in to my new install and I'm getting the same issue??

Total Space: 4.59GB

Available: 0.95GB

Apps: 268MB

Pictures, videos: 48KB

Audio: 156KB

Downloads:

8KB

Cached data: 5.20MB

Misc: 6.05MB

As you can see it doesn't add up to anywhere near ~3GB, so what's happened to my storage?

I can see my SD card is ok, with most of it free..

Issues with Tab 2 P3100

Hi,

I am using this Tab P3100 for almost one year and rooted and flashed custom roms just 4 months back. I was able to flash different roms and try them, I am facing with the below problems recently.

1) Call Dropping/No Service: This issue started recently, may be from last 15 days. The phone shows full signal, but when I dial a number the signal does not show and the msg shows as "No Service". The same issue with incoming call. Even though the phone shows full signal, when ever the call comes, the signal falls to zero and the call disconnects. I use vodafone 2G in Bangalore. I have another number of vodafone which use on Xperia arc, where the calling and signals are fine, so no issues of coverage. I tried changing all possible options for automatic,2G/3G etc but no luck. Tried with different roms but no luck.

2) USB device not recognized: This just started a coupe of days back. I have uninstalled Kies by mistake and then, I think this issue started.I googled today and installed Kies and updated to the latest version. But still not able to connect. I read the below lines in one of the posts:

" Once rebooted, go to your phone's dialer, type *#7284# - A configuration window will appear. In that window's USB section, if it's default to PDA, tap MODEM, then back to PDA, (if it is MODEM in the beginning, change it to PDA) then press the back key to exit. Most importantly, it must set as PDA when you exit."

But when I type *#7284# nothing happens.

Is there anyway to activate this to change the settings?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.nobody19884:
Let me try to understand..u have rooted and downloaded couple of custom Roms...right,now what are u on custom or stock based Rom...did the call dropping issue exist in previous Rom if not go back to that Rom and check it,about usb connection issue ,well if u r using custom Rom u don't need kies,what u need though is Samsung usb driver's...here's the link https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0Bw8B2a85Qa1jTXZSSEs4WkRtU1k ..:cool:

Hey,

Thanks for the driver. Downloaded and installing it now. Will check and let you know.

Regarding the roms, I was using one of the KK 4.4.X roms when this network problem started. From then I tried Factory reset and switching back to stock roms, but no luck. Currently am on 4.2.2 rom. Slowly getting a feeling that it has nothing to do with roms but can more be a phone issue.

Any idea on how to enter the configuration menu with *#7284#?

Tried with the given drivers..but still no luck..still the same msg of device not recognized..

Specific questions about a kernel/kernel instalation

I'm fairly new to the forum and to tweaking my tablet, and I have some doubts regarding a specific kernel instalation.

So I want to install Slimkat stable 3.0 and Agni pureCM kernel on my GT-P3110, but how do I exactly do that? I mean I already have root access, clockwork mod flashed and a backup done just in case so do I just:

Wipe data/factory reset - format system - wipe cache - wipe dalvik cache - flash Slimkat rom - flash Agni kernel

Is it right like that? I'm also wondering because on the kernel's thread there is not much explanation (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2197385)

Should I use another recovery? Or do I need to install Agni kernel differently?

And last question, the recovery I made with Clockwork mod backs up the stock kernel too? Or it's just a backup of the rom?
