[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seyokentai:
Greetings XDA-members !

I'm a total noob in flashing devices under Android..

I already (by the past) flashed many devices but no one under Android..

In fact I haven't the need for doing it..

BUT now, I'm really disturbed with intepestive reboot (due to some I/O errors in Internal Flash Storage)..

I know this can mean my devices is good for garbage throw.. BUT..

I want try something before.

So for that, I want root it !

Well, I want use this (it seems to me) clear tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957165&highlight=cf+root

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1'', all stock, never rooted, with no custom firmware, with Android JellyBean (not KitKat).

===Model Number:
GT-P5110

===Android version:
4.1.1

===Kernel version:

INFORMATIONS:

This is the steps I want to do (please tell me if I'll be on the way to doing wrong steps, I don't want brick my devices..):

Create on my Windows a folder called : C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN

Downloading the file Odin3-v1.85.zip and store it to the path: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN

Downloading the file CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifixx-gtp5110.zip and store it to C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN

Unzip only 1 time the zip CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifixx-gtp5110.zip, so now I end up with a CF-Auto-Root-*.tar.md5 file in the location: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN

Unplug the Galaxy Tab 2 from my PC (if plugged in one USB slot)

Unzip only 1 time the zip Odin3-v1.85.zip, so now I end up with a Odin3-v1.85.exe file in the location: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN

Run on my PC the exe file located here: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN\Odin3-v1.85.exe

In the Odin3 window, I will click on a button which may think like a PDA, and then, a Window Explorer will occur, letting me choose a file

File I will choose to load is located here: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN\CF-Auto-Root-*.tar.md5

Boot my Galaxy Tab 2 in DOWNLOAD Mode (this can do it like Recovery mode BUT this time by holding the Volume Down physical button instead of Volume Up).

When the Galaxy Tab 2 is in DOWNLOAD Mode I can plug it to my PC with USB.

If now I see the "Repartition" ticked, I untick this right now!

Next, on the Odin3 software Window, I click on the "START" button to flash with CF-Root

I wait some seconds (30 per example) and then my Galaxy Tab 2 should reboot Android

End.

Now, If you see one step which can be harmful for my Galaxy Tab 2, please tell me :)

For running commands as root, Will I be able to make this when in recovery mode (on a CommandLine interface through my PC):

adb devices
adb shell
su
** at this state, will I be able to acquire the root permissions?? So Will I can run any root command I want run?**

And for finish, three last question...

WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause incapacity to login to an existing Google Play account?

WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause crash or brick or other things like that when I update my Android Versions from Google Play ?

WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause wipe my datas OR NOT ?

THANKS if you answer me ! Really !
