Disclaimer: You are not a robot. You are capable of making your own decisions. Anything you choose do to your device is your business, so anything that may happen (lost data, bricking your device, zombie apocalypse) during this process is no fault of anyone but you.
Prerequisites: Your device must be rooted with a STOCK Samsung ROM specific to the Galaxy Tab 2 7". I have tried this on my GT-P3113 and have successfully flashed it's official firmware, the P3110 JB 4.1.2 firmware for Hong Kong and Croatia models, and the P3100 JB 4.1.2 firmware for Hong Kong. So, my point is THIS SHOULD WORK FOR ALL GALAXY TAB MODELS.
This will tell you how to install ANY Samsung Updated firmware made for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 without a computer. BE SMART, meaning only flash the firmware that is compatible with your device!!!
Before you do anything, backup your device!!
FIRST: Do the following to get all the tools required to do this:
1. Download the following files to your SD Card:
__A. Download the official update from here . On this page in the left column, there is a dropdown menu. Choose the device you are looking for to get the list of available firmware you can download.
There is a known issue with downloading from this site and getting the file to fully download. Suggestions to make it work: try a different browser.
__B. Download from here:
____a. Mobile ODIN Lite apk from the first post and hit "thanks"
____b. MobileODIN_FlashKernel_P31xx-v2.0.apk from the fifth post and hit "thanks"
__C. Download CWM-SuperSU.zip from here and hit "thanks"
2. Install ZArchiver from the Play Store (or anything else that can de-compress a .tar file)
3. Not required, but strongly recommended to read the info on the Mobile Odin Thread. (you can do this while you wait for stuff to download)
SECOND: Do the following to get ready to perform update:
1. Using ZArchiver (or any other app you use to manage files), extract (unzip) the file you downloaded in step 1 A. Then change the filename extention from "xxxxx.tar.md5" to just "xxxxx.tar".
2. Using ZArchiver (or whatever you downloaded) extract (unzip) the file you just renamed.
3. Install the Mobile Odin Lite apk. Don't open yet.
4. Install the MobileODIN_FlashKernel apk.
5. Ensure your battery is GREATER than 50%.
THIRD: Procedure:
1. Open Mobile Odin light, and do the following:
__A. Choose "Open file..." from the list
__B. Navigate to, and choose the update file (the one you renamed to a .tar file and then unzipped) and select it.
__C. Choose "OK"
__D. Select "Recovery" from the list. On the pop up window that comes, choose "clear".
__E. Now, choose "Flash firmware" from the list and accept any prompts that come up.
- - - Your device will reboot and Mobile Odin will do it's thing- - -
2. In recovery, it may ask you to "Install untrusted zip". Do it.
----- SO FAR you have done nothing to lose user data. HOWEVER, if you are flashing a firmware not specific to your device (in other words, if you have a GT-P3113 and are flashing firmware for a P3110 or P3100), I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET, at this point.
3. In recovery, install the SuperSU zip you downloaded.
4. Reboot your device.
And it really is that easy. Once you reboot, you may need to make a few changes if you are flashing firmware for a model from a different region than you are in. Language, keyboard, etc...
Good Luck!!!
Or you could just use software update on the Tab since the update is now an OTA as well.

That will not really work with everyone. Samsung Software Update knows I modified my tab, so it will not even seach for an update and tells me why. If you are unrooted, rooted in a manner that did not advance the flash counter, or use the "Traingle Away" app, then yes, you could just do it with the on board update feature. However, using this way you can easily upgrade to the latest official software and keep root.
Official update removes su binaries and overwrites the custom recovery with stock. So, superuser and supersu become useless and you can't flash a custom recovery without su/root. To get that back requires a computer.

Official vs. Leak. Think of the leak version as an official beta. Not quite complete, but functional. That being said, RomsWell's version is also deodex.

Opening post, third section step 1 D: you remove the recovery from the list of items to be flashed. Once you complete that step, on the list of all the items on the mobile odin screen - recovery will be blank. If you did do that, then cwm is not the recovery you had before starting this procedure. The link you posted is to a rom that is stock and not rooted. Did you flash it to your tab and then root/install cwm before following my steps?
Always failing. Any other link?
I can add it to dropbox later if you're still having issues...

Ok guys, a few have asked for a stock deodexed rom, so here it is. It is rooted and has SuperSu and the necessary binaries to make it work correctly. Other than that, it is stock from the T210R MG4 firmware.
November updated T210RXARAMK1 version is HERE. This version does not wipe data (only cache and dalvik).
October updated T210RXARAMJ1 version is HERE. This version does not wipe data (only cache and dalvik).
How to install:
1. Download the rom zip from HERE (older MG4 version).
2. Boot into your custom recovery (CWM, Philz Touch or TWRP). Look for those threads in this dev section if you don't have this already.
3. Make a backup of your current rom.
4. Do a Factory Reset, and cache/dalvik cache wipe in recovery.
5. Flash the rom zip.
6. Reboot. Enjoy.
I did not spend a great deal of time running this stock rom, so please report any issues.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PHILZ TOUCH RECOVERY USERS: On the "Install Zip" page, scroll down and UN-CHECK the "Don't allow old update-binary" option before trying to install.
Thanks to @Jamison904 (whose update script I used for reference).
To fix the Calculator force close issue, download and flash the attached Calculator_fix.zip.
The Camera and Gallery fix zip located HERE is only required for those who downloaded before 7:30 EST Sept 20.
Bluetooth Fix
If you are experiencing trouble enabling bluetooth, perform the steps below:
Using a file browser on your phone, open the /data/misc/bluethoothhd folder. Make sure you open the "bluetoothhd" folder and not the "bluetooth" one. There should be one folder in that directory. Delete that folder. Then try to turn on bluetooth. It should work.

Probably not going to get any ota updates. But if you did, it most likely wouldn't flash correctly anyway. Most updates like that will check for any modified system files and these are modified (deodexed and root).

CAUTION!! This ROM is mostly made for developers and people interested in developing for Samsung Gear Live. I take no responsabilities for possible damages to your device.
Hi everyone.
I open a new thread here in General because I have not enough posts for posting in Development, and I don't want to spam other threads only for posting there. Moderators can move this if they want.
We have here the first Custom ROM for Samsung Gear Live: OctamodWear
Currently we have very few new features, but this is only the beginning.
Features
- OctamodWear 0.2
- KMV78Y based
- Fully deodexed
- Root
- Busybox
- WearControl, the system management app. Reboot2Recovery is gone; install WearControl from PlayStore to ensure you always have the latest version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=octathorp.wearcontrol
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled
- OctamodWear 0.1
- KMV78X based
- Root
- Busybox
- Reboot2Recovery, it's an app made by me that let you reboot in recovery mode (interesting for use with custom recoveries).
- ES File Explorer and Quick System Info preinstalled (mainly, for developing purposes. I included them because it was a pain to install again with each data-wipe during tests).
Important
- Superuser permissions (root) are enabled by default, without Superuser or similar app. So, whatever app that you install and require root permissions will obtain them. That's due to the fact that there is no Superuser app for Android Wear yet.
- We need unlocked bootloader in order to be able to install the ROM (fastboot oem unlock).
- This system (Android Wear) is still very recent, and there are many things we don't know, despite its similarities with Android.
Work-in-progress...
- Get a better battery consumption.
- Improve performance
- Other things I have not thought about yet
Installation
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, follow this steps:
- Connect using ADB and run "adb reboot bootloader"
- In the bootloader screen, run "fastboot oem unlock". Warning!! This will wipe the device.
- Once you have unlocked the bootloader, the next step is to flash the provided system.img, using "fastboot flash system system_octamodWear.img"
- Done!

Original thread: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=868149
I will try to help you if you need it, but please, there are a lot of pages on the web where you can get information about ADB drivers or bootloader unlocking effects, so please, use Google.
Furthermore, I don't have much free time due to work and personal life, so this ROM will not have a very fast development. My main purpose is to give people something they can start working with, and make a great development community.
Enjoy it!

It is pre rooted as stated above. And yes its very good. Includes a file manager, which is handy....
Dev, presumably we should not install any OTA's?
This is the best day EVER!! Thank you so very much!!
Hey @octathorp I just received an update a couple days ago and did it... I assume the update would not be compatible with this ROM, or can I still install this ROM? Thanks!
Update is KMV78Y by the way.
Hi.
I have not received the update yet, so i don't really know. It should work well, because this is only system.img, but i'm gonna update the base rom as soon as I receive the update.
One thing i forgot to post some days ago... I've made an app that lets you reboot your device into recovery or bootloader, as well as changing CPU governors. It's Reboot2Recovery replacement, and it will be included in next release. Meanwhile, you can get the app from Play Store, searching "WearControl" (sorry i cannot post links yet).
I'll update the OP.

Return to Stock?
What would be the best way to return to stock? My guess would be to flash the system img that Adam Outler posted but want to make sure that I'm correct. I got excited and flashed this without backing up on TWRP first.
Hey is it possible to put the ROM in flashable form for TWRP?! Would make it much easier to install

Battery life should be the same as stock, as there are no power optimizations yet, but you could try WearControl with powersave mode instead.

LightlyCleaned/Rooted ROM - OE2
How's it going guys! Since no one else has released a ROM yet for OE2 I'd release what I made for myself This is lightly cleaned, removing what I found to be unnecessary.
PLEASE READ!
You're going to have to be on OC3 right now to flash this, since OE2 itself doesn't have root yet! You can be deodexed/odexed, running a custom ROM, whatever, it'll work. HOWEVER, you will need to flash an additional package with ODIN or whatever tool you use, since the modem/recovery/boot(/kernel)/cm/sboot was updated. You can't use FlashFire for this right now, since it does not detect the cm/sboot files within the package, and they need to be updated for the phone to boot. I tried updating them with a zip package, however it didn't stick. So alas, ODIN it is, for now... So, flash this before booting into the ROM for the first time, by holding down Power + Home + Volume Down until you see the Download Screen. Let go, then press Volume Up. Flash accordingly, making sure to put the *.tar package in the AP section..
This allows you to be on OE2, and maintain root
I'm not responsible if anything bad happens.
Quick Step-By-Step: 1. Flash the ROM using FlashFire. Then immediately after it is done... 2. Flash the TAR package using ODIN 3. Party
HINT (thanks @coton!): You can change the Reboot Settings within FlashFire so that once it's done doing its thing, it can automatically reboot into download mode Just select my package in "Flash ZIP or OTA", then once configured at the bottom click "Reboot". Select "Download" and you are good to go!

So does this still make us lose root? But prior to flashing you've cleaned it a bit?

Nice! How'd you manage that without an updated version of pingpong? So this essentially gives us the OTA update with root?

You sir are the man!!! Thank you donation coming. So I'm assuming once we use this update method we can flash any future rooted oe2 roms with flashfire?
Which odin version do you use on the s6?

Here's a long answer, for ya I started on a OC3 rooted ROM. I modified the OE3 update package to allow flashing this on a rooted build. Flashed it, then extracted the new system files (as they were now patched/updated). I manually patched the boot.img and modem.bin files by placing the originals from the OC3 ODIN package, and running "applypatch" on them with the patch provided from the update package. Patching the recovery was more tricky, because of the way the update package was set up. So I had to use the included sh script to patch and install the latest recovery, and then extract it using adb shell and "cat ....". I had to open that pulled recovery then in a hex editor because it included a lot of empty space at the end. After that, I confirmed the sha1 matched what it was supposed to be as mentioned in the updater-script from the official package, and it did!

Also, once we flash the ODIN package; I assume we just boot into the OC3 rom to flash the OC2 via flashfire?

Why are you re-uploading the downloads, is there a problem with the previous ones, as I just flashed the odexed rom, then odined the update tar, and have just booted up, everything seems fine so far.

he is using a different server, he had loaded the file to his dropbox but it looks like that server isn't going to work. I was able to download the package from his dropbox though .... This guy is a beast, make sure you guys donate to him, he has created some really cool edge features already and I'm sure there's more to come.

You are correct, DropBox shuts off your Public links if they get too much attention. and since you guys went ham, rightfully so (lol), they shut me down. So Mega it is, and we're half way there! Also I'm glad to hear it worked for those of you who were able to download it before!
oh and @2swizzle I'm guessing your referring to being able to have the 'feeds' while the screen is on? I've looked into it, and there was a lot of code removed that enabled that from the Note Edge to our phones-- the framework classes that incorporated it are basically stubs now. Although I could try adding it back in, in my personal opinion it'll be kind of... eh. it's not like the Note Edge where because of the more distinct curves it feels like a separate screen, of sorts, and it kind of just works. But with the S6 Edge since it's not as pronounced, it'd be more intrusive, make the aspect ratio weird, and decrease the amount of available screen size, when some already consider what we have is small, when comparing to the phablets of increasing popularity.

Working great so far, haven't found a single bug.
For those of you who haven't downloaded yet, I noticed that with FlashFire when you set it up to flash the rom, you can set the reboot option to go directly to download mode so you're ready for the odin update.
@coton you sir/mam are a terrific human being. I forgot to mention that great little trick on the OP, I'll update it immediately! Thank you!

Can you downgrade back to 5.1 if you flash this and decide its not for you?

Yes. This is only system and boot.img's being flashed. I'm surprised it even works without a M bootstack.

Dload and flash kernel and SU from Sevens thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/repack-kernel-root-android-6-0-t3232387
After you reboot google play services will start to force close. Itll be annoying but navigate to Settings->General->Apps and find play services and uninstall updates. It should stop after that. At least it did for me
---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------
This likely leads into the security FC but trying to access lockscreen options from display also FCs
If u just flash superu it wont reboot, it looks like it wants to but it just hangs on the lg screen.
Also had force reboots by just trying to uninstall apps. I would say this is highly experimental at this point

You have to flash BOTH the kernel and the SU zips. The SU zip only installs the app. The kernel is what actually enables root. And I would use TiBackup to uninstall things atm
Have you successfully got root to work on this port? I could not. Just stuck in bootloop.
Other bug is sd card doesn't read corretly.
Hopefully T-Mobile will have M soon. I really like the feel of it.

Are you sure this was your correct method of installing? Only reason why I ask is that I thought the patch had the kernel for H811 to get the phone to boot

Yes it does. I flashed the other kernel to get root but it booted just fine for me

my experience so far,
only boots after flashing the rooted kernel, otherwise it gets stuck on the blue led. charging seems to be very very slow - it's estimating 12+ hours to get like 20% or so charge. If i'm not using the phone it appears to be charging at a decent speed so i'll leave it until the morning. Also, trying to uninstall apps causes a soft reboot.

Hello, and thanks for doing this. I can live without Bluetooth no problem, but there are a couple crushing bugs with this build. One being that I cannot uninstall anything (reboots instantly) another is that I cannot access the setting that allows app installation from unknown sources. Or any security setting for that matter. :S
Please advise on possible work arounds.
None at this point. I think we need H811 M bootstack for a full functioning build.
