[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohmster:
chongfl,

What exactly do you need, buddy? My tablet is now running on CyanogenMod ROM 10.2 so I did get it to work and it is real nice. There is an option in ClockworkMod ROM Manager under "Recovery Setup" to choose CWM ROM Manager (Which does not work for this update.) OR TWRP. I selected TWRP over CWM ROM Manager and I was able to perform the update. Then go back with CWM and install the gapps package. I like it and it worked for me.

But if you want help, you have to be very specific as to what your issue is, what make/model device, and what you have or have not done and what happened. Otherwise myself or anyone else cannot help you unless we know what your issue is.

Oh wait a minute, your post title says lost root. So what happened, you updated, got the update done, and now do not have root anymore? Are you sure? You can look for the su binary, superuser app, busybox file, or if you want to make it real easy, go to the Play Store and download a "Root Checker". This free app will tell you if the phone is rooted or not. I think there are many versions of root checker,. but here is Root Checker at the Play Store.

Use an app like that to find out if you really lost root or just cannot find it. And then tell us what you found, what you need, make and model of the device, version of Android you are running. (I have 4.3.1 now and have to update my signature.), and what ROM you installed. Okay?

If my post helps you in any way, please click the big "Thanks" button under my name on the left.

Same question

Hey there just saw your post and I just successfully rooted my wife's Tab 2 10.1 P5113 with clockwork mod recovery and the CM10.1 for android 4.2.2 like yourself. I now want to put CM10.2 for Android 4.3 on it but cannot find the correct zip file anywhere. What did you do? where did you go to get it? I think I'm missing something.... I'm very tech savvy but new to rooting so any info would be appreciated!

One thing that annoys me to no end on AOSP roms is that vid recording of concerts, live shows always gives very distorted sound. Is there a workaround/fix for this?

Update:

Found solution here:

I like TW and I use my spen a little bit.

I liked that app that you can write on pictures and save them. Can anyone recommend an app for a non TW ROM, that would do the samething?
[About XDA developers] iofthestorm:
Is the DevDB uploader broken right now? I've been trying to upload a new build of my ROM for a few hours and every time it fails at the verification step. Not sure where to post this kind of thing but this seems like the most appropriate place; if not, feel free to move my post. Thanks!

Edit: took a look at the javascript console and it seems like the torrent creation script is throwing a 500 error, if that helps at all.
[About XDA developers] Kdio:
Hi iofthestorm

Found the same behaviour on my thread (not DevDB).

I've noticed that 500 is raised over attachments (images too) only when using desktop browsers. Control panel shows my attachment but it's not accessible. Tested with: Crhome, FireFox and IE :rolleyes: ... logged and as anonymous ... same 500.

But, browsing the same thread with xda-app shows up perfectly.

Weird! :eek:

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Thanks for the feedback guys. Had an issue on the devdb file server the other day and it looks like when things came back up the MySQL server didn't start properly which prevented new uploads. This is now fixed and I've tested it, so let me know if you still see any issues with it.

This is a separate issue - it seems like the thumbnail wasn't created properly, but if you click on the file the actual attachment was created properly. I'm going to do some testing to see what is causing that problem.
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Testing attachments... should be good to go now.

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
I redid the downloads server a week or so ago, there are some new security measures in place and that is probably what caused the not-authorized error for you. I just downloaded one of your old files and re-uploaded it without issue. Can you let me know what browser you are using, or if there are any extensions that might be blocking in?
[About XDA developers] OfficerJimLahey:
Thanks, the plugins are probably doing it. I use unbranded FireFox (IceWeasel) with the NoScript plugin (although xda has been allowed for a long time - I may need to whitelist something else, or use Chromium/Chrome).

UPDATE: it appears that Chrome is handling uploading fine (Chromium was a bust due to the lack of Shockwave Flash support, as the Upload button was dead). Is there a predictable server for the authorization I could whitelist back in IceWeasel - that way I don't have to switch browsers? (Seems that the authorizing server loads at the last moment, preventing me from determining it's name.)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Frant1c:
Hello. I'm newbie here, just trying to get some help. First of all in order to install CM or any other custom ROM my bootloader needs to be unlocked + CWM recovery installed. I read many guides how to do that using "ROM toolkit", "LG Optimus L9 - ToolKit" using step by step instructions, but at the end of the day those tools just reboots my phone normally and that's it. I spend almost 5 hours and still no luck :/ i hope you guys direct me to the right direction. Sorry if i duplicating threads.

My Firmware specs:

Android version: 4.1.2

Baseband version: L620_MODEM_SIC_01.1230.00

Make sure you have the LATEST version of ClockworkMod recovery. Other recoveries may work but will not be supported by CyanogenMod

Make sure you have the LATEST firmware, found here

You've utilized the search function of the forums.

If you are the only one having a problem. Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, reflash the rom/gapps and nothing else. Boot up and see if the problem persists.

Make sure your post is relevant to this thread. "I'm having problems rooting/unlocking" is

It seems to be a common, known issue right now. I'm not sure what the cause of it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MWFD:
can we get a quick rundown of any major bugs/what's not working so far?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LudicrousPeed:
That happened for me on 10.2. Not a dealbreaker.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

I'm on 12/9 and I am experiencing no major bugs. Just make sure you use 4.4 gapps (I'm using invisiblek's latest in his OP post). Your milage may vary but I have no reason against using it as a daily driver. Just do a nandroid backup and if you have issues you can fall back to it. My only complaints are minor: the LTE toggle I added to quick settings appears to be buggy/not work. But I changed mobile network settings to CDMA/EDVO auto and that works for me. I needed to install the Google Keyboard before I could type anything but that was before I flashed gapps. Do a factory reset before flashing etc and let us know how it goes!

I can't seem to find where to go to disable the volume indicator sound when adjusting the volume. Is that missing? I looked though all settings categories.

Can we dirty flash from CM 10.1.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
Based on what I've read from people's experiences switching to 4.4, I would say no. It simply won't boot. Wipe the usual and do a clean install. In general, when in doubt, clean install, 'cause why not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
because it's sort of a pain to do.

Do you know if everything is working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YevOmega:
On 4.4? I haven't personally tried it yet. I've been busy. Once again, from what I've read, people are amazed at how from the first nightly on, this has basically been daily driver material.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Which Google Apps pack do I want for this? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Just installed, smooth once I got the newest version of ClockwerkMod.

Question, I see CM11 replaced it's old launcher with two new ones, "Launcher" and "Launcher 3".

What is the difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Oldtymehockey:
I did a semi "dirty" install over 10.2 RC1 and things like bluetooth and the Google keyboard proved buggy. I have just formatted, wiped cache and dalvik and installed 12/12 nightly fresh. I used the gapps from 12/8 found in the link in the development thread. I used the mirror at invisiblek. Seems much better now.

Edit:

Is anyone else having trouble with their Bluetooth devices reconnecting once paired, powered down, then powered back up? I have a Motorola Elite flip. I pair it. It works. Then if I shut it off it needs to be resynched upon powering up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalZips:
Thinking about going from CM10.2 Stable to CM11 here in a bit. Just a (probably really stupid) quick question: How do I determine what my current firmware is without much trouble? I'd rather not worry about updating that if I don't need to once the time comes.

I see the OP links to VRBMF1 firmware, which is what my Baseband version says (I535VRBMF1) in Settings > About, but I'm not sure if those are one in the same or not. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] harry_seaward:
They are the same. You're good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalZips:
Thank you very much! Good to know. I think I'll give a 4.4.x build a go after a few more nightlies are released then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xs11e:
No camera, BT flakey?

Nightlies 12/13 and 12/14 seem to have broken the camera and all the nightlies seem to have the BT problem mentioned earlier, it connects but will not re-connect w/o opening the BT and manually connecting.

EDIT: !2/15 fixes the camera, BT problem remains.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0331:
Not only is clean flashing recommended by the devs, it will almost always give better performance if you wipe/factory reset. less chance of issues.

I just flashed cm-11-20131214-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip and now I can't SMS to work regardless of what app i use. Everything forcecloses. It won't receive a text either...phone calls are fine. Hangout gtalk messages are fine...just no text...??? Any fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
But installing Daily Build updates once we are on CM12 is fine right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanThaDude:
I can't confirm the BT issue as I don't use it very often but I can confirm camera is broken. Stock camera did work AFAIK but apps such as Vine & Camera FV fail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0331:
You mean CM 11? Yes, once you're running cm, updating to nightlies doesn't require data wipe, just cache and dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SDQB17:
Camera works in 12/15 btw. Which brings me to a question about the CM11 camera...does it have panoramic view ? And if so how do you get to it, I can't find it in the camera menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalZips:
Another question from me.

Why do some instructions say to do both a "wipe data/factory reset" and a "format /system" while others omit the "format /system" portion when flashing new roms?

What's a best practice when going from 10.2 to 11? is formatting /system necessary? I did not do a format of /system when I went from stock 4.1.2 to CM10.2 on my S3 and wonder if I maybe screwed something up as a result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] harry_seaward:
I never format /system and things are going well for me. I think you'll be fine just wiping data. But if you run into some huge debilitating issues, it might be a good idea to format /system just to be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalZips:
Awesome, thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Durhammer:
Has anyone here gotten Photosphere to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rednukleus:
I've just been using the CyanogenMod Updates menu in About Phone for all of these nightlies since I first installed CM 10. I don't wipe system or data ever. If it's a major version update, I find out when my Play store no longer works, and I respond by downloading and installing new gapps. When I apply gapps I wipe cache and dalvik. Easy peasy, and I bet my performance is indistinguishable from those who wipe clean every time.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

My question is which gapps is best right now? I'm using 11/19 because "hangouts buggy" sounds less severe than "not ART compatible".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jguns112:
Every time I try flashing it fails. Says (status 7) installation aborted. What gives?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] harry_seaward:
I'd say use the latest one. You shouldn't be running ART anyway, so it's not a huge issue.

You're on the latest CWM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] philosoweed:

For the stable version of CM 10.2, I was wondering if anyone got Velvet, Home (Google Experience Launcher), and the 4.4 Google Play Services to work? I can't seem to install them. I'm sure I have all the right developers settings checked since I've side-loaded stuff before. Everytime I click to install one of the three Nexus 5 apps it says, "App not installed."

It's annoying because it installed just fine when I was on CleanROM.

Camera

Anytime I take a picture, with flash on, the screen goes black and phone is completely unresponsive. I end up pulling the battery. I have no problems with the flash off. If I drop the firmware back to vrbmd3 the phone wont freeze but the pictures are distorted.

Is this definitely a Kernel issue/ is there another Kernel I could try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
I had my phone do exactly that yesterday on 12/25 nightly. I couldn't tell if the phone was off or what, but the only thing I could do was a battery pull. I don't think it's every time I use the flash though. I had taken a couple of pictures with the flash just before this occurred.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asymptoticFault:
I am having an issue with the screen auto rotation. It is no longer working. Has anyone else seen this? I am on the 12/26 nightly. I have tried a clear data/factory reset and reflashing the nightly to no avail. Now I did drop my phone from about waist height onto a thin carpeted floor. I have an otterbox commuter series case on it and have dropped the phone a few times before with no issue. That being said I noticed it stopped working after I dropped it. I have the Bubble level app and it does seem to work with the single axis (horizontal) level though I can't seem to access the 360 degree level, I know I used to be able to. Perhaps the unavailability of the 360 level is an indicator that there is a malfunction with the accelerometer? Does anyone know of a way to diagnose the accelerometer? Does it sound like I have a hardware failure or could it still be software related and therefor possibly something I could fix?

*** UPDATE 12/29/2013 ***

The auto rotation is now working. I didn't do anything to fix it so all I can guess is that whatever was stuck in the accelerometer came unstuck or it was a software issue that resolved itself. The reason I couldn't access the 360 degree level was because of the issue as well because now that it is working it automatically switches between then different levels when the phone is held in different orientations. Also for what it's worth, I downloaded the Accelerometer Monitor app yesterday and the x-axis (in green) was stuck at a constant reading, all the other axes were reading normally. Today, now that the rotation is working, the x-axis is reading normally. I am not familiar with the design of the accelerometer or how it actually works but maybe this information will mean something to someone who is familiar with it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rgraville:
Is MHL > HDMI working in CM 11 on Verizon Samsung GS3? I know it was not working back in 10.1, and I tried it on 10.2 and could not seem to get it to work. As I travel a lot I would like to be able to use my phone + netflix/hulu/etc. in hotels via HDMI. My wife has a GS4 and so I ordered the new MHL 2.0 adapter from Verizon (with work discount it was $29) and it works great on her phone (she is unrooted stock), but when I try my GS3 nothing displays on the TV (I'm on CM 10.2 11/14 nightly). I get an indication that my phone is charging through the power adapter plugged into the MHL adapter, but no HDMI signal is detected/transmitted.

Should I expect the same behavior in CM 11? Will this be true of all AOSP ROMs? Is this something that can be dealt with by using a non CM kernal with a CM11 ROM?

I would like to stick with CM as much as I can, but I really would like MHL > HDMI functionality to work.

Latest CM11 Nightlies Can't Retrieve Network/IMEI

So, this is a weird one, especially since I don't seem to see anyone else mentioning it here, or in the development threads, but yesterday (1/1/2014 build) I decided to update CM11 from an earlier nightly to the latest nightly. Everything seemed to go just fine, except that after it rebooted and ran through all of the startup it couldn't find the network. I delved a bit deeper, and I saw that my IMEI was missing. I thought I'd just restore it, only to discover I'd misplaced my backup...whoops...

At some point, though, I decided I'd flash an older build...and viola, we were back in order. I flashed back to the nightly, the issue repeated. I then tried two or three of the nightlies before yesterdays, as well as todays, same thing, but it's always fine when I flash back to a build from 12-17.

So...is something wrong the with build (and somehow...no one else has reported it, or I've gone blind and can't see people referring to it), or what?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xs11e:
I'm not a developer so I have no understanding of the difficulty involved in making these builds but I know I can't use any of the later builds because the camera locks up and Bluetooth won't connect w/o manual intervention.

To run all my apps flawlessly and make the camera and Bluetooth work to perfection I have to run a TW ROM and it has to be 4.1.x Jelly Bean or an earlier version, I have a couple of apps I run that aren't updated to work with later versions of TW.....

Clean Rom works for me but I'd really like the simplicity of CynogenMod if they'd just get the camera and Bluetooth working.... <sigh>

Sorry for the rant but it's very frustrating to keep trying nightly after nightly and finding the exact same bugs as the previous version.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zirillian:
Exact same thing happening to me and I can't figure it out. I've tried everything to fix it and can't seem to. I've tried...

-using the CM updater

-doing it manually (flashing just the update, flashing update + Gapps+supersu, etc.)

-switching from latest CWM to latest TWRP

Still lose it every time I try to update from 1/1 nightly to 1/3 or M2.

Even restoring the IMEI both ways doesn't work. Mind boggled. Have never had a problem like this before.

The only way I am able to get back I'd to restore a nandroid, which luckily I have.

Anyone have any ideas to help us?
