[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notadev:
I was trying to Root my Tab2, its on update 4.2.2. i was watching a YouTube video on how to do it.

YouTube title: How To Root A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P51xx

i did exactly what he said but ran into trouble when i was supposed to put the files onto the SD card.

So what i did was fire up Kies Air and transfer the PhilZ touch recovery.tar and Super SU folder to the sd card via Kies Air.

i thought that would be the same as plugging the sd card into my system as a usb drive.

then shut down and reboot with volume down and power. but it opens up this screen:

the top bar is highlighted blue and it says "reboot system now" its hard to see in the picture.

So if i hit the power button to select reboot now, the screen goes black and it just doesn't do anything.

I can get back to that screen if i hit volume down and power again, but cant seam to do anything else.

Plugging the tab into the usb does nothing.

Does someone know how i can get it running again?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokesh.3440:
I suggest you to do following steps:

1) First try to put your phone in Odin Mode(press Power button and Volume decrease Button simultaneously)

2) Then download odin.exe (search it on google).you will easily get it.

3) Then reflash your Regional Stock ROM again from Odin.

4) If these steps don't work out,please ask me again...(in case your tablet does not detect in Odin mode)

Prerequisites:

Make sure you have installed samsung usb drivers or kies in your PC.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notadev:
Android System Recovery

The only thing it will do is go to Android System Recovery. It does not go into Odin.

I think the only option is to load something from the SD card from Android System Recovery.

I do have Odin 1.85, I did use Odin to load PhilZ recovery, but the next step was to load PhilZ recovery and Super SU on the sd card. at that point is where it stopped working.

Thanks

I started a project on my old htc 3d EVO and have been thinking about doing a version for the note 2.

The basis of the project will be to merge more of touchwiz back into miui. Since some versions of miui are built on top of touchwiz then adding back in most of the functions are easy sort of. I personally don't like the miui launcher at all but the rest of the ROM I like. The touchwiz launcher/functions are pretty nice for my taste.

Anyone interested in helping/using something of this nature?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jocarog:
Sure let me know if you need a tester...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Starting work on the project tomorrow after work. I believe the latest miui release for the att note 2 is touchwiz. I will start it as a port to ours then play with adding in the TW launcher and features. The goal is to have as much TW (dialer for ## codes) as possible only keeping the settings and status bar from miui.

Alright guys this is where I sit on this project. I have been using Team Noobs 3.1.11 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2063126 as a base and JellyBomb Domination for the TouchWiz parts http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957773 , for now although if I continue to use it I will ask for there permission before anything goes public. I will be playing with it for the next few hours and then see if I can get something out for a SELECT FEW TESTERS. I have a couple already lined up and if anyone else wants PM me. I want testers who have the Sprint Note 2 (although if you are flashed to another provider thats fine also). Being able to provide logcats and have active service is also required. Thanks for the interest and help in getting this going.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay I have been working on this and so far I got touchwiz and a few other things working. When I try adding everything I lose service so I am going to showly add things back in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Building test Rom now. What I have right now will be the unmodified aroma installer from the MIUI I am using us the base. Touch wiz Iauncher works along with a few apps. Testers will be getting a link in the next few hours.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well I have gotten 11-8 from the Verizon note 2 running so I have a newer base to build from. Once I get this running on the old sprint base I will see about upgrading it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I am still looking for a few testers. I have my first beta uploaded for testing but it is only available if you PM me requesting the link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdee323:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Info for my testers.

1. At the end of install uncheck the reboot option or installer will freeze requiring a battery pull

2. phone.apk will force close a few times then will work properly

3. the data toggle does not work

4. If you have no data do *#*#4636#*#* and change wcdma to CDMA(prl) or LTE.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HenryTheUnicorn:
Thanks! Except folder mount is being annoying and keeps saying insufficient storage when i try to download it :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
Just downloaded folder mount. It's 1.84 mb. Make sure you have that much space left. I know if you're running out of space that can be tough.

If that's not the trouble switch ROMs and try downloading it to rule out that it's miui's fault.

If you get it downloaded on another rom, you probably could flash back to miui.

When all else fails you can always Odin back to stock, and start over again.

It's an obvious fake, look at the camera and power button position on the first and third image.
[Nexus 5 General] Watcher07:
There's a reason that reputable sites like The Verge and Android Police are referencing it from evleaks twitter account. evleaks has been in the game for a long time and is rarely wrong about anything he posts. It's usually a safe bet that if he puts it out there, then it's going to come to pass.
[Nexus 5 General] SetPT:
What i'm trying to say is there is something wrong with that leak.

Maybe we'll have a white nexus 5, maybe not (most certaintly yes), but the inconsistency in the image is visible.
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:
I would not say verge and android police are reputable sites.

These guys just follow the standard blogging information dissemination of re-posting the same info/stuff everywhere.

That being said I'm definitely getting a white nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] matteventu:
It is NOT a fake.

Look at the official black render from the Google Play Store page, it have the "issue" about powerbutton and camera too. It is simply an error that comes from LG/Google ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Watcher07:
Not sure why you say they're not reputable sites. They've got a history of fairly accurate reporting, a few "sources" that they can identify legitimacy from, and they tend to pass on things that common blogs gobble up and spew out. Despite all the leaks of release dates as an example, I saw no indication from either of anything until the evleaks post, which many including other sites like Android Central and Engadget use.

Add to that the Google themselves left a message to the Android Police apk teardown team in the code of the latest Google Play Store release before it went live. Watching the G+ Nexus community post blog after blog talking about "unofficial" this and that, with no coverage from sites like Android Central, Android Police, The Verge and Engadget shows that they don't tend to simply post whatever is floating out there, they take their time to vet it.

Like any news outlets, of course they've been fooled a couple of times but overall their accuracy, as well as tact in reporting make them more reputable in my eyes.

And black Nexus 5 for me please, though I will admit that it is the first white phone I've ever even remotely thought of getting.
[Nexus 5 General] Visa Declined:
Show me a more reliable source of information on this phone than Android Police, [MENTION=2199119]evl[/MENTION]eaks, or The Verge.

None of these sites have ever claimed to know "facts", they simply put the information out there with a disclaimer to "take this with a grain of salt".
[Nexus 5 General] harveydent:
Remember last year when Google was going to announce the N4 and the event got cancelled because of the giant storm in New York? They invited The Verge's Editor in Chief personally instead and announced it there.
[Nexus 5 General] Watcher07:
Anyway, kind of brings me back to my original point. Many reputable tech publications across the board follow the evleaks twitter. Head over to his and look at his followers, you'll see many tech giants in there. Take a look at this article that talks more in depth about Evan Blass (evleaks) and you'll see why he's someone that the tech industry pays very close attention to.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...rview-with-evan-blass-the-man-behind-evleaks/
[Nexus 5 General] the1onewolf:
Well not to rehash this.

I think what I said was misinterpreted.

There certainly are many reputable sources (industry insiders, distributors, manufactures, people closely connected and etc) out there and evleaks is definitely one of them. When it comes down to exclusives, breaking news and leaks these kinds of sources are generally very reputable because they're in the heart of it and in the know.

However, these blog organizations are just outsiders who just quote reputable sources - in this case they basically just posted what evleaks wrote. In a sense all they did was "retweet" what evleaks. Saying what the other reliable guy say doesn't make you, yourself, a reputable organization. That rep comes from the own content you produce and the way you vet information.

When it comes down it, these blog sites are just all following the same sources on twitter or whatever. Most people here probably follow these same sources as well. These are not exclusive sources who only give your organization exclusive information - this is free information that is posted for all to see and it's just being passed around/circlejerked by all the blog sites and even xda right now.

As for the content these blog sites actually produce. Well the way these blog editors review products is cursory and superficial at best. Whenever, I watch a review posted by a blogging site I can tell they haven't dug deep enough and that's because those guys aren't real industry experts or even "power" users. I'd love it if these guys actually would dive in their products more and even disassemble the products to check the quality of the internal components. I know alot people who use a product heavily or for a particular purpose/industry would really love and appreciate that.

That's where I'm coming from and that's my two cents.

Now back on the subject.

I really hope they do simultaneously release both colors.

I always hate it when they release the white version 3-5 months after.
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
why do people believe this is real? anyone could accomplish that using photoshop
[Nexus 5 General] Rarscaryfrosty:
It may be a fake rendering, but the information itself may be real. Evleaks has always been dead on with his stuff in the past, so I think his leak is credible.

[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
No he has not always been dead on. He told everyone that the LGD820 wasn't the next Nexus when everyone knew he was dead wrong. He came across as someone who really didn't seem to have a clue, and he waited almost a week before correcting that.

Anyway did he ever say what November 1st even means? Date of announcement? Date of release?
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
The ONLY place I put my faith in is my Google Cart and the order confirmation email...even then... LOL!
[Nexus 5 General] Watcher07:
Eventually everyone makes a mistake. His track record speaks for itself so I wouldn't say he came across as not having a clue, but merely someone who may have either made the mistake himself or was simply given bad info from someone at LG, we just don't know. Either way, he is still someone alot of people trust as a source.

About people saying they can make a blog and tell people info and to take it with a grain of salt while being reputable, that's not accurate. Yes, Android Police is a tech blog, though one that serves "11 million monthly pageviews to over 3 million unique visitors" as per their website. They have a staff and clearly work hard to vet sources and report accurate information. The Verge on the other hand is owned by Vox Media which is valued at $140 million and has 300 sites with 400 paid writers serving over 3 million unique visitors a month compared to Gizmodo with 6.5 million and Engadget with 6.3 million (as per wikipedia). Put aside the fact that they're as professional grade as it gets, and just going off of unique pageviews per month, they're doing things correctly in a media reporting sense to maintain that level. If they were half-assing stories and spewing rumor or conjecture, they wouldn't last long in this industry, tech geeks are WAY too unforgiving.

Back onto the OP topic though, didn't think a white phone could yellow quickly enough for people to really notice. I personally don't see the life of a phone beyond two years (though I know many who have had theirs for 3 or 4 years, so there's that) but many white phones people have had for a couple years still look just as white as any paper they're sat down next to, at least to me. Regardless, I plan to put my N5 in a case and as I said, plan on picking up black, but the white one does look damn fine.

Haha that's just thinking way to much to make it legit and that still makes no sense. It's a pic from the back and the side it should match up. It's not a pic from one angle to another. They just messed up the render. Renders always match up correctly without camera angles having to be taken into consideration. It's a render not a real pic but it should still match up ;) Now is it a Google mess up or is the white version just fake? I dunno I personally still think the white version is real. Though I want black cause it's classy :cool:

[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Renders don't actually always match up. Look at the renders of the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 on Google's own devices page. In two images the cameras are standing straight up. In the third image the side view is at a diagonal, and yet the device is exactly the same height as the other two. Not physically possible. Clearly Google plays with the images for thier renders.
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
Jeff Brown if you go look very closely at the pic Google themselves posted for that short period of time on the Google Play store it's the same thing, the two don't align. So I wouldn't read too much into that now.
