Still cannot access to SD and SIM due to some restrictions (not even sure if rooting is done right) but that is a minor issue now.

yes but it don't have Samsung UI or does it? that's why i went for the Samsung as its ui was nice and color-full... i am fed up with just plain and with black and blue UI the whole time.

I have ran CM on lots of other devices had it on my nexus 4 for a while..and although performance and its system is great its a bit boring in the UI department.But horses for courses i guess...

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 WiFi doesn't start

Hi all! First post so hoping I've searched hard enough for this topic...

I've just rooted my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (running 4.1.1).

Installed Odin on my laptop & used it to install SuperSu and ClockWorldMod Recovery via ADB. Installed BusyBox direct to the tab from Android Market.

So far so good.

The problem came when I followed some online instructions on how to replace the WPA file with a supplicant file (for enabling Ad-Hoc WiFi recognition).

The ADB code in the instructions seemed to work... no dodgy errors. It was only when I restarted the tablet that I found WiFi would no longer turn on. The message "WiFi Turning on" appears & persists for ages, then vanishes... but no WiFi.

I entered the code (in the same instructions) for reverting to the old WPA file but even though the code was accepted, I still have no WiFi.

Some others who followed the same instructions said that a factory reset fixed the problem but I've tried that several times with no joy.

I now have a (still) rooted tablet with SuperSu and ClockWorldMod Recovery (but no BusyBox) and for some reason, no restore point from before things went wrong. From here, how can I get the WiFi turning on properly again?

I'm no novice when it comes to command line interfaces but have to admit that I have very limited experience with Linux based systems and am not all that au-fait with Android yet... so please go gentle on the acronyms & linux speak!

I'd link you to the site where I got my instructions but being new, I'm prevented from posting links.

All solutions greatly appreciated

Boot loaders?

So I finally got this tab (p3113) , and since then I've been seeing some reference to different bootloaders depending on stock rom (android) version.. I've never really dealt with manually changing bootloaders outside of HTC and that was to unlock it. Is there really any need to flash different ones? If so, why? Are there different partitions between them or something? I'm on stock rooted jb 4.1.1 ota by the way.

I didn't see this addressed anywhere so that's why I'm asking..

Also, I did find a thread for twrp, but seems pretty dated.. What is the newest version of twrp for this tab?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Thanks, Mike, for your kind words - it suddenly has changed to small letters again on my device. 8-¦

Try it out - there is a reason behind the large menu: it should support touch.

Just missing the used-to scrollbars ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webdroidmt:
Very weird??? I restored a nandroid today, went back into CWM and my menu was also at a normal size. No scrollbar but much easier to navigate through the menu entries and not "touch" something by mistake. Either the nandroid restore caused it to change to a proper size, or it's magic. :laugh:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Empu:
Hello everybody, I've just recently got a Galaxy Tab 2 Wifi model (P5110) and I'd appreciate some help with the process of installing CM on it. I'm currently unrooted and on Stock firmware Jellybean 4.1.2 and my questions are:

1.- What's the best way to install a custom recovery?

2.- Which version of CM would you people recommend, monthly or latest nightly?

3.- One thing I noticed on a CM 10.1 screenshot is that it shows 691 MB of memory, while the stock ROM I use shows 759 MB memory. Why is there such a big difference in this aspect?

That would be all for now, thank you very much for reading!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webdroidmt:
Like you, I'm new to the Gtab 2. Also like you, I've got the 3113 rooted stock 4.1.1. I've seen a couple of different version bootloaders relative to CM 10.1 but I haven't seen anything that looks relevant or compelling for stock. I wouldn't mess with the bootloader unless it's necessary. What I did find interesting was this boot image to allow for an OC kernel and other goodies. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1855700

As for TWRP, you probably saw the same version 2.1.1 that I found here and also at Rootzwiki by nycbjr. Doesn't look like he or anyone else has updated to a newer version for our tab. The latest touch versions of CWM for our device, 6.0.2.3 & 6.0.2.7 don't have as slick an interface as TWRP but they work very nicely.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamyn:
hey there,

My Samsung Tab2 7.0 (model p3113) is stuck on boot.

I attempted (using heimdal on mac) to root it, but the process was interrupted.

I've taken a look at the guide here (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1722745), and while it was very helpful it requires the device to be able to boot into download mode in order to accomplish anything--which mine is unwilling to do.

The device is inconsistent in it's launch behaviour---sometimes it allows me to boot into recovery mode, at which point I've cleared the cache and reset, but to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
hi empu,

I can just tell uvabout my own experience...

ad 1.

Root your device and then flash a recovery.img packed in a tar or tar.md5 file through Odin.

if you have any question concerning this, pls feel free to post.

ad 2.

I read through the well-documented release notes and decided to use a daily (nightly) snapshot.

but I don't update daily, but itjust when I enjoy it.

for me, it's already VERY mature...

ad 3.

Can't explain but wouldn't bother me... sorry.

hope this could give u a glimpse...

hi jamyn

normally you can connect to the tab through odin if you're in a non-working state.

can u?

can you get into recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Empu:
Hello Christoph21x. How should I proceed with the rooting process of the tablet? There's a tutorial on the Android Development section, but it says it only works for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (with a workaround for this one version) so I'm not sure if it'd work on mine since it's got a newest firmware than that. Should I use CF-Auto-Root to do this job then?

Also, where would I get a ClockworkMod recovery in a md5 format? Their website only distributes the recovery in a .img format as far as I saw. Would you recommend rooting and then using the "ROM Manager" application to flash ClockworkMod recovery that way?

Thanks for your time :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Dear Empu,

as I own only the P3x model, I'd suggest to consult the related thread for the P5113 model under http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26170800&postcount=1

If you have further questions for that, please come back to us.

Usually rooting is independent from the version you're currently running.

For the recovery.img: can you create a tar archive?

There are numerous tools for that - ru using total commander? replace the ZIP at the beginning of the preposition when hitting Alt-F5 through TAR... etc.

Download a clockwordmod recovery_somewhat_version.img file, rename it to just recovery.img, tar it to a file named as your preference.TAR (without .md5) and open Odin.

Select it to PDA and start the download...

... that should it be.

Kind regards - Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamyn:
Thanks for the reply Christoph-- I do believe I am able to connect to Odin. I can access recovery mode about once every 5 or 6 times. I successfully got it to boot into recovery last night, at which point I cleared the cache and reset the defaults, but still couldn't boot normally.

Is there a way I could go about testing how well it's connecting to Odin? It shows up that a comm port is active....
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Dear jamyn

the "best way" is to flash back a stock rom, that's at least what I would do in your situation.

Download it, start Odin, connect your device and watch out that it shows "xxx/xx Added!" and then select the downloaded image into PDA - and hit start....

The stock rom is the best way to clean up your device without hacking into details. The device should afterwards be un-rooted.. but then you can start from scratch...

Kind regards - Chris
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamyn:
Alright, so the Tab 2 is definitely being added by Odin, however when I select the factory rom and hit "start", the program unexpectedly closes... any thoughts? thanks so much for your help :)

I understand to not mess with the bootloader unless I need it.. But even in the cm forum I looked around, and I still don't understand WHY we need to flash different ones.. But I'll deal I guess.

Thanks for the reply
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamyn:

The device does not wake up after turning off the screen. Why?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
I don't mean to sound rude at all , but my device never shows the samsung screen at all when entering download mode.. So maybe it's how you're trying to get into download mode... what ensures it for me is I hold the vol - key for a couple seconds before holding the power button to boot it up.. Also might help if you unplug the device from your computer before turning it on. Again I'm not trying to undermine your intelligence, just giving a suggestion that might help..

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

Is it a known problem with the rom? Sound like an sod. Maybe try clearing cache and dalvik.. If it still persists maybe try a clean re flash.. I don't know much about the cm development for this device.. Haven't tried it yet

Hi and thanks for taking an interest. Any and all help greatly received at the moment!

Link sent by PM. Check yer box!

I haven't tried flashing the ROM... mainly as I'm not entirely sure what that actually means! Am I right in thinking it's effectively the same as re-installing the O/S?

If you think it'll solve the problem then I'm happy to give it a try but will need instruction on how to do it & how to identify the correct ROM to install..

The file in question was referred to as "WPA Supplicant". I have to confess I don't know what it is or does. Probably should've found that out before messing with it but seeing it work in the video was... gambled assurance enough at the time. Plus the instructions gave a way to revert to the old file if the new one failed. I didn't actually modify the file myself, just swapped it out for a revised copy as per the instructions.

If the original file was successfully put back (as I believe it to be) then I'm guessing that this is not the problem and that something else has been altered as a result of swapping the files in & out.

Look forward to your input.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sas007:
Basically WPA is for your wireless networking connection.it depends on device protocol wpa or wpa2.

Included with the supplicant are a graphical user interface and a command line interface utility for interacting with the running supplicant. From either of these interfaces it is possible to review a list of currently visible networks, select one of them, provide any additional security information needed to authenticate with the network (e.g. a pass-phrase or username and password) and add it to the preference list to enable automatic re-connection in the future.

Your best bet without a DOUBT is to flash stock firmware as mentioned by mitchellreece for your device and get it back to normal all good and working and then go from there ref customization..Don,t mess around for hours and hours when a flash will sort it in 5 mins.Back up any important data to sd card etc and crack on.

Dont worry about flashing it really is simple and loads of step by steps around.or from here..
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Savarus:
Seems like that's the way to go. Now I just need to figure out how to go there! Let me see if I've got this right...

1)Download a copy of the stock ROM to PC

Q) Where's a reliable source for this (4.1.1) ROM and what files do I need to copy onto the tablet?

Q) Is it worth going straight for 4.2.2 or am I better to stick with stock version 'til I know it's working?

2)Copy ROM from PC to tablet SD card

3)Boot tab into recovery

4)Backup (nothing left to backup anymore but ok)

5)Format Caches

Q) What should be mounted and what should be demounted at this point?

6) Install from .zip

Q) Anything else I should do before rebooting and hoping for a miracle?

7)Reboot

Is that it? Hey presto like?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkStryder:
Exactly, dont know what the first phrase was ( think u copy pasted that:p) but yeah flash stock is best! U could try maybe deleting those files that are listed as they are command lines added to system boot. But I imagine it replaced some files so just flash stock. Remember to make a backup through cwm before messing with system amd make sure u know what your doing!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Savarus:
I did think that phrase was a bit out of context! There was no direct interfacing with the WPA file I downloaded... it was just file. Half of it unreadable in text format, the other half nothing but a load of status reports & error logs from various bits of hardware. Presumably the graphical interface mentioned is the WiFi section in the Settings menu. Anyway...

So all I need to do is know what I'm doing? Hahaaa! OwwKayyyyy!

Found a ROM. Waiting for download.

Format /system before install, yes?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sas007:
you will be good with a clean install (its done during flash)

1)put device into download mode (VOL + AND POWER hold ,ONCE THERE release both THEN VOL - and you should be in download mode)

2)using odin3 v1.85 click PDA navigate to firmware and double click .tar file. get odin here http://www.mikeshare.com/?d=50243D9F1

3)connect device via data cable to computer

4)ensure re-partition is NOT ticked in odin

5)click start and wait for green pass (tab should auto reboot anyway when done)

do the same to flash CF-auto root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957160&highlight=cf-auto+root

I picked up a SGT2 recently and have rooted with Odin, and have CWM. The problem I'm having is actually getting custom roms to work. I go into CWM and select the rom I want, then select gapps, and then reboot. After reboot the tab is still on the stock rom. Anyone got a fix for this? I've never had this kind of issue when rooting and flashing a custom rom before. No I am not letting the tab load after rooting with Odin, I turned off auto-reboot and load straight into recovery after I see pass in Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sas007:
You may have to flash some custom roms using odin as well but it depends.every rom has its own instructions for installation so you should follow them.A .TAR file needs to be flashed via ODIN with tab in download mode.

Are you actually flashing the roms????dont sound like it to me..tell me what you are doing.you need to put rom zip file and gapps zip file(if needed)on sd card (if rom is flashable in cwm) boot tab into recovery then do all the wipes factory/data/system/delvik cache etc,then in recovery select install from "sd card".navigate to rom zip then flash/install the rom then go back while in cwm and flash the gapps(if needed) then reboot.

what CWM do you have installed.? what ROM you trying to flash.?
