When I connect 3100 to PC via USB cable, the notification sound comes but the PC doesn't show the connected tablet. Tried with KIES as well, but that also shows connecting for like 1 hour and nothing afterwards. Can anybody help? I tried changing the ROM reinstalling it, but still same problem. I am on CM 10.1 nightly build.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farmdoc:
Look above in this thread. I had the same problem and it went away when I changed to the Sungsonic rom. Nothing I could do would fix it as long as I was using CM10.1 nightly.

BTW, can anyone explain the difference between unlocking and getting root?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
Unlocking generally refers to being able to use a device on various network providers... If a device is locked you can only use it on the carrier you bought it for, unlocked let's you use it on other carriers.. It only applies to phones or 3g devices.. And root pertains to having root permissions on said device..

Multi colored screen problem

I have problem that i have multi colored screen after Galaxy Tab 2 boot animation in boot and it lasts only few seconds but it is annoying

It has started happening after flashing leaked 4.1.2 from stock 4.0.4

I have filmed it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3Y_aPrdz8&feature=youtu.be

Please help me solve this
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
This is a common problem when you flash jb stuff from ics. You should either flash the jb bootloader, or odin back to unrooted stock ics, take the official OTA to jb and then re root. Either of those will fix your problem. Personally I would unroot and do the ota but that's just me.

I see

Thank you so much for the quick reply chris

ok so i read this

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Guide:Using_the_Terminal

and i'm downloading mr terminal at the moment

I suspect it probably doesn't work because i rooted without flashing bootloader, I'm not too sure I'm a complete noob here, the reason i resorted to this method is because odin didn't recognise my tab in download mode, so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and I'm doing this with a sense of urgency I'm planning on giving this device as a present soon, that's why I resorted to asking for help on forums.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Oh... you should have a terminal "on board" - no need to install an app! Look in the list of the included programs pls.

No, it's not because of not having flashed the bootloader - I never had and as I read, this can create real troubles.

Odin Connection: get your device into fastboot mode while it is UNPLUGGED from the PC, then start Odin and only then connect - this helped many times for me.

Did you flash a recovery (like 4EXT or CyanogenMod Recovery)? Then you wouldn't need Odin anymore...

Greetz - Chris

PS: by when do you have to have it solved?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalaland:
Thanks again for replying chris so ok, unless my eyes deceive me there is no terminal app on board, when rooting only superuser was installed, i downloaded an app (terminal emulator) however I can't seem to be able to type any text so I'm trying ADB shell now to run the command.

I did not do any sort of flashing, as a matter of fact i have no idea what 4EXT or CyanogenMod Recovery are, however the reason I tried odin was because the first rooting tutorial I read instructed me to do so.

This tutorial- http://wibsblogs.wordpress.com/2012/10/28/how-to-root-your-galaxy-tab-2-7-p-31003110-and-3113/

and this- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788625

when those didn't succeed this worked- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791193, someone on there posted a solution where all I had to do was click a program and bam we have a rooted device.

Monday is the last day I have to fix it, It is friday 2nd of august 7:23 PM eastern standard time Australia, it's for a kid so I was hoping to fill all 8gb of internal memory and 8gb external with games and the place where this device is going to put it nicely has "unstable" and very slow internet connection.

oh and I forget to mention model number P3110 running android 4.03

I'll return with the results of ADB shell soon

I receive cannot create N: Read-only file system
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
This is plenty of time :D

Ok, I think you're trying to do the second step before the first.

First you should try to get a stable ROM - I understand it right, you more or less have now the stock ROM rooted?

Then please allow me to give you an advice:

1. Download the 4EXT Recovery Updater from here: http://4ext.net/ and download also the "4EXT Recovery Control" and install it

2. Execute 4EXT Recovery Updater - it will flash the "recovery" on your device (see below)

3. Select the most modern and (in my opinion) most stable ROM: CyanogenMod 10.1.2 and download it from here: http://www.get.cm/get/jenkins/34270/cm-10.1.2-p3110.zip

4. Download GApps (Version 2012-12-12 is advised, heard some troubles with latest version) from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip

5. Copy both to your external SD drive

6. Go into "Recovery" through installed "4EXT Recovery Control"

7. Set to factory default, clear all caches (also dalvik cache) from within recovery

8. Flash from SD drive the downloaded Cyanogenmod ROM and GApps

9. Clean again Cache and Dalvik Cache (NO Factory reset, just those two caches)

10. Reboot - it will take some minutes...

Hmm... you said you formatted the SD card? Or not? Which format?

You can do this from Recovery as well... if not yet done... Set format to "EXT4"!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalaland:
dirthdre and

You are right I am rooted on stock rom, I take it that means I'm on the original firmware and need to install a new firmware that allows app2sd, I learned something new.

As for the sd card it's in in fat32 at the moment i think after i formated it entirely into ext2 and windows told me it was unreadable so I formatted to fat32. No matter I will format to EXT4 when in recovery

Now I will follow all these steps then and report to you as soon as i finish, I'm waiting for the files to finish downloading at the moment.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
Hi lala!

You have to format the external SD card to EXT4 - this is used for any of the a2sd functionality. You can do so in recovery...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalaland:
I already tried ext4, I partitioned it on pc and I'm afraid app2sd still told me there is no space left

You can partition the sd card on recovery menu but I don't remember it giving me an option to choose ext4 or any other format, when I partitioned it using recovery menu I couldn't find the new partition when I plugged sd card into pc.

Should I format the entire sd card to Ext4 using pc and test it then? I'm close to giving up here
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christoph21x:
That's strange... Can you try to manually mount it from within recovery?

If you format from recovery CM10 chooses EXT4 by default.

Do you find the SDCard in your Explorer within Android?

PS: Which size of SD card are you using and if > 32 GB, which TYPE?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalaland:
It's getting late now I'll try to do it tommorow

In recovery menu there is only a partition option not a format one in advanced settings, by manually mount you mean physically insert the sd card into the slot?

It's going to depend on where you get the ROM from of course but most stock ROMs come in the form of a ".tar" or ".tar.md5" and all you need to do is add it via the PDA button.
