[How To] Root - Galaxy Tab 2 7" - Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development

here it is
since we have no forum yet (um come on mods get to it!) I can't post a shiny new thready for my very first real dev, ROOT FOR YOUR GALAXY TAB 2 7.0!!
so I'll put it in this post, and I'll mention I posted this on rootzwiki first, we have our very own forum there... (XDA I love ya, and I know you will get there hehe)
** Edit ***
I just attached the files as well as mediafire, rename the txt file to pit (xda won't accept the file as is..
_________________
Method
I have gained root through using a modified boot.img from the gt-p3110 leak posted a few weeks ago, took me all day but here it is.
Note I haven't only tested this on my device, its 2am est and all my testers are asleep (that being termitech lol)..
Standard YMMV
So big fat warning, I MAKE NO GUARANTEES THIS WILL NOT BRICK YOUR TAB, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Now with that unpleasantness out of the way.. with out further ado. I present the very first root for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0!! Yay mom I'm a dev now!
The method will have you using hemidall/heimdall-frontend there is a way to put this all into an odin package but I'm too exhausted to do so (for now).. Also I will not re-hash how to install or use heimdall.. you can look that up on your own
Get it here:
http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Process
Once that is installed do the following:
reboot tablet into download mode
adb reboot download
launch heimdall-frontend
go to flash tab
load attached pit file (gt-p3110.pit)
Then from partion details choose "KERNEL", click "Add"
then choose "Browse" and select the attached boot-bjr.img
choose "Start"
after the tablet reboots:
Code:
adb shell
./su
./gtab2-root.sh
Congratulations you are now rooted!
I'm going to try and stay up a bit longer and monitor this (and the xda thread) please let me know immediately of success or failure, I will pull the files if failure.. Issues with heimdall aside, I want reports back on if things work.. They work for me.. and I tested a fresh factory img just a few minutes ago.. pretty sure we are good!
gt-p3110.pit
boot-bjr.img

Flash xoomdev's CWM recovery First, then flash the package in this post.
Xoomdev's thread
Paste of his instructions:
Download the recovery.tar.md5
Make sure Kies is closed
Reboot into Download mode (adb reboot download)
Open Odin, confirm connection
Click PDA
Load recovery.tar.md5 file
Click Start
Device will reboot when the flash is complete
To reboot into recovery, just like any other device; adb reboot recovery
Link to the CWM Package
Link to root package
Congratulations you are now rooted!

Thank for making this possible!
I followed these directions exact. But, I am getting the following error - E:signature verification failed - when updating 'cmw-root-gtab2.zip'
I did run that Samsung update on the device last week when it was first powered on @ BB - could this have any issues with the root process?

are you sure you have clockwork mod for recovery?
you would only see this error with stock recovery

I have tried doing it this way 5x now, and when I try to use Odin, it loads the recovery.tar.md5 file, I click start, then I get what i linked below
I dont know what I am doing wrong. I am in the download mode
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> recovery.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
That is what I get since you cant see the picture very well.

Try to redownload the file, also try hiemdall instead.. and check out the thread on rootzwiki until more gets posted here, the issue is with flashing cwm, not the root.
Also did you reboot after flashing and try to access recovery mode?

My tab doesnt reboot after the flash, its like it never even happened.
I tried the heimdall way, but the img file cant be found anywhere at the moment.
I am new to the android world, so bear with me. I followed the exact steps for this one that you posted, and my tablet acts like nothing even happened.

Pretty sure you need to follow the thread over on rootzwiki called "Stopping recovery overwrite" in the Galaxy Tab 2 (7") Development forum. After that use ODIN to flash CWM. You need to do this if the upgrade was applied to your stock tab (UEALD3 / SEP-66 #1).

If you follow the instructions it will work. If you get a signature error, you are NOT on CWM. Look at the top of the screen, if do you not see Clockwork Mod you are not using CWM you are using 3e recovery which is the stock. Start over and flash CWM.
Once you have CWM flash the root package. You should then be all set. I've done it a dozen times now and it worked every time.

is this method for p3113 or p3100?

Yeah, when i opened it it updated. So that may be the issue then?

I think I royally F***ED my tab up...
I'm stuck at the boot splash screen with "ABORT IN SBL" in the upper left corner.
I can't get it to boot to recovery. I can only get it to boot into the download mode now.
Is there any way to flash this back to stock using heimdall on ubuntu?
Please dear god tell me there is a way to fix this.

I think I am just going to give up on trying to root this thing till an easier solution comes out.... I cant get this thing to recover back to the stock shipped software.
I am a newb... i know. Lol

There will likely never be any other solution. You will always have to flash recovery in Heim or Odin. After that you can flash a rooted ROM. But there will always be that initial work.
I will see if I can find a stock firmware package, but it will be the same type of flashing.

I will post some links tonight when I get home to stock..
and try an re-write my instructions..
Check back in a bit!

You have a factory made one? Not a pulled one?
You cannot flash a pulled one, something people new to Samsung may not know.

Error flashing Root files through CWM...
I odined the recovery and now I have CWM. But when I try to flash the Root file (through install zip from sdcard) it says:
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
Do I have to have an external SD card or something?
What should I do?
Edit: I mounted an external Micro SD card and it worked flawlessly. Please add this mote in the OP, thanks a lot...

[Q] Currently unable to install any rom

Hi guys,
Current situation
I haven't been able to use my phone for a good day now and I been busy reading guides, trying out stuff for a bunch of hours now. I thought it was time to ask you guys. Currently this is the only thing I'm able to do:
When I boot normally its stuck on the black screen with Samsung Galaxy Note on it.
When I boot with volume down, a screen popups up if I'm sure than press volume up. After that I'm in ODIN mode (says so with red letters in the left top). Below that it says: PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000 , CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO , CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
In the middle of the screen below the Android guy it says: Downloading... Do not turn of target !! (I'm not really sure if its suposed to say downloading there, while its not downloading anything?)
What I did so far
I came from a gingerbread Rocket ROM and decided to try out the ICS Stunner rom. I downloaded the ROM and read the install discription. I pretty much went into CWM right away to install the zip (rom) from SD card. It did work and ofcourse everything was still there cause I didnt wipe anything. But I noticed that a bunch of things didn't work and a lot of programs where crashing. I assumed I must have missed a step so I decided to go with the 'Squeaky Clean' install, which was posted on the team-passion website.
This was the last time I was able to get into CWM and connect my phone true USB with my laptop. Because I did the following steps:
Reboot in to ClockworkMod Recovery.
Format the following:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
**Enter 'Mounts and Storage'**
- Format everything it will allow you to
**Go Back, enter 'Advanced'**
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
**Go Back to main menu, reboot system**
The next step on that list is: Remove your battery and boot up into 'Download Mode'. But the only mode I am getting into is the ODIN MODE where it already says 'Downloading...'. When I try to flash using ODIN, it isn't able to setup the connection. It does identify that the phone is connected because the ID:COM is yellow on 0:[COM3]. It didn't before, but after reading somewere that it might help to install Kies for the drivers it did.
Also tried "InitialCFRootFlasher" and "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" but both arent able to establish the connection. Just like ODIN.
What I'd like to do
I'd prefer going with the ICS Stunner ROM, seeing thats how this all started. But currently I'd settle for anything working, because being phoneless for a day is pretty anoying hehe.
What do you guys suggest?
I really don't know how u understood the process. But just don't screw this. Go download any of the pre rooted odex rom -link in my signature - and flash it via odin.
Or any rootable rom from dr ketan's thread - link in my signature - and follow the steps mentioned there to the Dot slowly and calmly. Just get to GB and rooted. Then report here. Will tell u how to go to ics stunner after that.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently downloading one of the prerooted roms from your signature. However it would suprise me if ODIN allows me to install these seeing it can't really connect to the phone. Am I suposed to be in the 'Downloading... Do not turn of target !!' screen on my phone, while connected to laptop true USB?
Will update once I'v got it.

Yup u need to be in that mode. The odin on your PC should show the Com port as yellow. If it doesnt then there is some drivers problem.
It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading any rom in PDA, Phone or Bootloader and only checking auto reboot and f. reset time this is what happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And thats where its hanging, nothing on the phone screen is changing.
I don't remember the screen saying 'Downloading..' last time I flashed something. It's already saying that when I enter the screen, when its not downloading anything.
Apparently I'm not able to make edits yet here so heres another post after figuring out how to load these files:
It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading the three files in ODIN under PDA, PHONE and CSC just like on the screenshot in your signature. And only checking 'Auto reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' the following happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLA6.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> MODEM.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> CSC_N7000XEULA1_XEU.tar.md5 is valid.

Done! I'm still not sure what went wrong, I think placing the files in the wrong place in ODIN. Got a tip from someone how to place them and they worked in one go. Pretty weird cause I was using the same setup as the XDA guide post.
Main problem is solved now, I'll have to look into the ICS thing now. Thanks for your help.

Sorry was away so couldnt reply. The setup shown i xda should work perfectly. Anyways its good to know that you got all things settled. You can install the ICS Stunner (no touchwiz and no samsung apps) if you so want. Remember to backup your data as you will have to wipe data for going to ICS. From rooted GB install mobile odin then download the lp1 repack from my signature and after all that is done reboot to recovery clear caches and data and flash stunner (download the latest build by clicking Stunner in my signature) clear caches and data and reboot.
* Triangle away is required only when you flash lp1 through PC Odin.*
Ended up using the mobile odin application, works like a charm.
Thanks for your help!

Root your Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570I

update.zip
I Used this to root my Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570I
Copy it to your sd card
Go to stock recovery by pressing vol. up button + home button + power button
Use Volume up and down to move up and down and home button to select
Press update from sdcard and find this file
Your phone is rooted
Press thanks if it works
Is that rooting method good for GB 2.3.6 or is it for ICS only? I'm looking to root a Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 (not the S5570i 'plus' version) for a friend of mine that's running GB 2.3.6 and was wondering about the best & quickest way to do it. My own phone's a Sony Xperia Ray so there's obviously a few differences I have to get my head around!
Also, can one flash custom ROMS on the Samsung Mini without having to unlock the bootloader? And how does ICS run on this phone? (or does it?) Would you recommend upgrading or leaving it with GB 2.3.6?
Lastly, is there a PC Companion type application for Samsung where you can upgrade or repair the firmware? Might you have a link to it? - just in case things go badly wrong..

Don't think it would work for the normal version but u could try it, just clear the cache and install, if aborted try another one
The bootloader will be unlocked usually when u flash a rom by cwm

Here download this Galaxy_pop_plus_root
then go to recovery mode ( turn off your phone and when it is turned off. Press Volume up+Home button+Power Button then when it open release the 3 buttons and wait for it to go in recovery mode.)
recovery mode is with the red text.
then go to install update on sdcard (the 2nd option stated) and choose that flashable zip (the one I linked to you to download)
it's not touchable so you must use the volume + and - to down and up and the power button to select.
then when you've select the flashable zip. Just go down and select the yes option. when it done already
reboot then wait for it. when it reboot and you are in the home screen of your phone. see the app drawer if you have superuser app that means you are rooted
Nice thanks for the link it helps alot!
Worked for me for the root. However, it is now impossible to boot into download mode.
After boot into recovery mode with adb, it is stuck in recovery mode, impossible to valid choice with the power button.
Impossible to boot in download mode with Jig too. Is this a bootloader problem? Any suggestion to boot into download mode or repair recovery mode?

[Q] rooted Gt7000 that I pressed update firmware,now not working . . please help

Hello All
I have a GT 7000 with stock 4.1.2 on it and it is only rooted.
It told me it had downloaded firmware update which i pressed install ( not knowing I shouldn't have because of my note being rooted) , and in doing so it is now just showing the little android dude with the blue thing in his tummy going round
Pressing volume up, home, power button won't do anything.
I can only get it into odin mode ( volume down, home, power button )
I am a complete noob and not sure what to do to get my note to work.
A friend said I need to flash a new rom via odin and I cant find a clear guide on how to do that.
For I can't afford to brick my note.
Please help
Kindest regards

You have to have the samsung drivers installed for odin to work.
To get a stock rom google for sammobile. There are all official formwares (You will have to register).
After that extract that file, run odin and select the pda file (extracted md5 file).
Flash it. After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data.
You should be fixed now.

Odin is the way to go and the only way. Use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 it will show how to flash Philz kernel on your phone and then you will have cwm. After that you will have to get a cwm flashable Rom out of the android dev section and put on your sd card, usb mass storage my work in philz kernel if so just put Rom on card and flash through cwm. Then phone will work or find a guide on pc Odin for flashing stock n7000 roms they are out there

This just happened to me!!
Thanks jakuburban for your advice.
Though i didn't need to "After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data." or maybe i do.
I just let it finish booting etc and everything was working fine,everything intact and okey dokey.
Can anyone say why this happened and what to do about updates in the future please?
Thanks again guys.:laugh:
Yeah, you sometimes don't need to wipe data. I told You to do this to be 100% sure it will work.
For the future, You can't use official update if You have root (normally it should give You information that You can't update the os because "Your device has been modified"), as You don't have original cwm and it won't boot into cwm to update Your os.

Okey dokey.
Thanks again for the info.
Still having Trouble
Hi Guys,
Thanks heaps for your advice
I did what you said jakuburban but odin would get through seemmed like it was almost there then hung/froze
this is what was in the Odin txt box

and just hung/froze at that point well over an hour.
and unpluged it - can still only get into odin mode
Not sure what to do?
Is this where I have to flash a hole new Rom?
Im not sure how to do this as I was looking at putting cyanogenMod rom on but I was reading some where not all rom's come in .tar forms
and I downloaded the latest stable rom from cyanogenMod but it is a . zip
so im not sure what to do there?
Thanks heaps

Hanging at that place means there is some problem with the connection between note and pc. Make sure you have all the drivers installed and use original USB cable and main USB ports.
zip file roms need to be installed using clockwork mod recovery.

[Q] Is the phone bricked or what?

Hello readers,
MY girlfriend decided that she wanted a costum ROM on her n7000. So she looked up how to do it on YouTube...
What she Tried to do was flash a kernel in stock recovery. She was on a ICS stock ROM, not rooted. And what she got was a phone that only went into download mode. When i turned it on it was stuck in the samsung screen. booting intoo recovery dint respond. Then she came to me. So i read on the xda forums that this might result in a bricked phone.
When i got it i tried tot flash speedmod 3k v13 kernel. Via PC Odin. It all completed normaly but the reboot (I know Odin a bit since i flash roms since the Sgs1 and now i still have an Sgs3.)
The problem we have now is that the cwmr v5.8.1.8 doesnt see the external SD. so i cant flash a rom of the sd. But now i am not shure if this is the emmc brick or my recovery doesnt support flashing from external SD cards. The SD card is good, tested it.
So if anyone knows what the best step from here is, please share it. I'm thinking about scanning For Bicked blocks. But i have never gone so far in computing. So im a bit scared of it.. XD Might reflash the kernel or update cwmr.
Download a stock Rom and try to install it with PC Odin.
If it stops with an error at factoryfs.img it is bricked.
If it succeeds you have a solid base for installing a Custom Rom (even if it is for your girl I wouldn't use a "costum" Rom).

I would first go to PhilZ thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31911620
Look for a kernel for ICS, any of the version 3.99 should do. Choose the tar file to flash it via odin. After that try go into recovery again to see if it works.

Oke, so i un-installed kies, and un-installed the phone drives from my pc, then installed the drivers from the ''stock rom n7000'' post. i flashed the kernel again using odin for pc, gues what, it worked!
The booted up normaly and it also uses philz touch recovery normaly.
I installed the App root checker, and i have root acces.
Now i can just flash towards anything i want right? becuase i am now on a safe kernel?
Thanks alot for your help!
Good to know you can get back to safety. Yes. Just nees to read and follow rom installation guide carefully from respective rom that you want.

Downgrade advice after latest Lollipop Upgrade

I've been reading a few threads but since I have an AT&T Note 3 there seems to be a ton of jargon I'm having a hard time picking up on, I've done a few previous Android phones but those seemed to have a guide where everything was exactly what I had and it just worked step by step. I have a fully stock Note 3
Baseband version:
N900AUCUEOC2
Kernel version
3.4.0-4335446
[email protected] #1
Fri July 31 21:47:49 KST 2015
Build Number:
LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC2
Every OTA update something seems to happen on this Note 3, GPS issues on one, battery on another and now it's Wifi issues along with missing text messages. (both of which suck the most). I've never rooted or flashed this phone, either I would like to go back to 4.4.2 or maybe try another rom but I'm having a real hard time figuring out all the steps since it seems any time there's an update they all change, towelroot, safestrap, kingo root, heimdall, MJ5, etc hell are the notes in the main post for AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 All-In-One Resource Thread still good?
Basically I figure I would take it back to 4.4.2 and run that for a month and see if texting, gps and battery are stable, that's my big three. Getting rid of the Samsung bloat and flashing a new rom are secondary at this point. I've done the whole wipe and factory reset the phone a few times but I still can't shake this texting bug where sometimes it silently stops working, tried the built in Messaging app, switched to Google Messenger and even tried Handcent and Go SMS Pro with the same results, texts stop coming in randomly, I can send out but replies never show up and rebooting the phone doesn't cause them to show up, they are just gone but a reboot will restore the ability to receive texts.
Hello. It seems you have a few different options, since your on N900AUCUEOC2, which is the same thing as N900AUCUEOC1, but with an update that patches Stagefright, you can downgrade and upgrade to pretty much anything you want.
What you need to know:
SuperSU is the super user you will use.
Safestrap is the ONLY bootloader that you can use.
Towelroot will root 4.4.2 and below.
You make sure Busybox gets installed before installing Safestrap.

@phlashb4k: Hay there, i have something like the same question but my scenario is quit different,
i have an AT&T Note 3 running EOC2 now but i have installed it with the help of "FlashFire", (as far as i live in a country other than USA/non AT&T country so i could not get OTA updates, hence i had to find manual ways to update to OC2. And as you know FlashFire needs root so, my device is rooted now and shows a padlock on startup but i don't have any custom recovery installed.
NOW i want to remove root and go stock everything (bcz now i know that i can install that OTA.zip with the help of adb),
As far as i want to remove root access i think going to superSU settings and clicking on full unroot would do the job, am i right?
and than because i have (N900AUCUEOC1_N900AATTEOC1_N900AUCUEOC1_HOME.tar.md5) file so i think i will have to simply odin start and AP file the above tar and connect my phone, after added shows i press start button and everything goes will, is it right?
I was wondering if its possible to go back to jellybean? im on 4.4.2?
Sorry I've been busy!
