Unless and until it is listed as a supported device, ROM Manager will not work properly on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, 7.7, or any other device.
How many different "tab plus" models are there? At the time of typing this answer, the following models exist: GT-P6210 (wifi only), GT-P6200 (international, 3g), GT-P6200L (region specific 3d - not sure which region), GT-P6200N (region specific 3G - Germany), SGH-T869 (USA/TMobile 3G (no voice))
ICS? Samsung has promised it, but not given a precise timeframe. Here's a thread to discuss: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446601

How do I remove CWM Recovery from my device? You need a factory image. See the "factory image" question above.
How do "unroot" my device? It's extremely easy to mess things up when doing it, so I'll be somewhat vague hoping that only those with the ability to understand my directions will attempt it: You need to get rid of /system/bin/su (which requires su and remounts to do) and then to uninstall SuperUser. If you don't know how to do this, you will probably be better off restoring a factory image. See the "factory image" question above.
Are there any ROMs for this tablet? No; a "ROM" is a Read Only Memory and all the memory on this device can be written to. In addition, in order to change ROMs (if any existed on this device) you'd need to crack open the case, desolder at least one microchip, and solder in a replacement. As all the chips are surface mount, you'd need extremely expensive equipment (and some serious soldering skills) to do this.
Are there any custom firmware packages for this device? Ah, that's a much better question. At the time of me typing this question/answer, the selection is extremely limited, and mostly just de-odex'd and re-themed packages. Please check the development subforum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1429) and themes subforum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1430) for an up to date list. Be careful to only use firmware/themes made for your device model...
"Supercharger" script? I'd avoid anything that modifies kernel parameters. This script disables a function within the kernel that will attempt to recover your device if a bug is encountered. If this script is installed as posted as of this writing, and your kernel encounters such a bug, you'll get "sleep of death" type symptoms. The author of that script has been informed of this, and may take steps to resolve that issue.
I didn't bother to read instructions and flashed a kernel that doesn't match my firmware - now my ethernet doesn't work, I'm stuck in a boot loop, etc. Please help? No, I won't. I spend a considerable amount of time writing instructions, notices and this FAQ. I find it extremely insulting that some people ignore all that effort on my part and blindly install kernels that are CLEARLY marked to not work with firmware versions. Read the "factory image" question above, go back to stock and stay that way until you learn to read.
Take care
Gary

wrong thread.
OK, let's pretend for a second that I didn't see this thread before I already read through the Dev section....
Right now trying to boot into recovery doesn't work, but I still have root access. Should I just flash back to factory and start over?
Oh, Samsung p6210: Rooted, factory ROM.
what do you mean by booting into recovery doesnt work? have you comprimised your recovery parition? try just holding power and vol + ,let it try to boot twice, continue to hold, you should get in assuming you have a working recovery. If not download quick boot from market, free and works great.
What is your issue exactly? have you tried to use ROM Manager?
In the worst case you may have overwritten a parition with an incorrect one, in which case you would need a stock ROM with a .pit file.
When I boot into recovery from Clockwork it (of course) gives me an android icon with a yellow triangle/exclamation. When I try to manually go into recovery, it says something about "installing unknown software is bad for you" and I have the option of installing (which starts "downloading" but does nothing), or restarting the tablet. Since I can't get into manual recovery I can't install the CWM file from the Dev thread...
I'm thinking the only option I have now is to do a "restore to factory."
that is download mode you are going into, maybe you have vol+ and vol - confused. vol + is the closest to the power button. If this is the button you held then it sounds like you may have overwritten your recovery mode with another download mode??
ANyways I would try flashing Garyd9's CWM recovery.zip in the development thread, and use quick boot or terminal and type reboot recovery. Let us know how you make out.
Works perfectly on gp6210
Did the CWM/root and the SD card patch this morning after reading the forum posts. Worked great, no surprises. Thanks greatly. You've done a nice job, Gary, looking forward to your latest projects.
Just as an update, I got everything sorted. I reflashed recovery from the SD card and uninstalled ROM manager, seems to be working just fine now!
seems as Riff Box can resurrect dead GT-P6200's. Keep in mind, I dont think most users would ever need this.

it got him back into download mode, but couldnt boot after Odin, Im guessing its becuase he needs to factory reset.

Hey guys , names Carocrazy132 I'm native to a host of other forums so feel free to flame if I make noob mistakes, I deserve it :highfive:
Anyways, yesterday I got my new Galaxy S Blaze 4G (on 2.3.6) via T-Mobile contract and some $ and I love it. Today, I rooted it and installed CWM via Odin 3 v1.85, however, I didn't use CWM on my last phone (Motorola Droid X2) so I don't really understand how ROM Manager (v5.0.2.1) works and I'm scared away from clicking like i normally would by the following message: "Confirm Phone Model". It lists the Galaxy S i9000 and T-Mobile Galaxy S2, but certainly no Galaxy S Blaze 4G. I followed several links to the CWM ROM Manager section (which I can't post the link to) where I still found no Galaxy S Blaze 4G.
Are most features of ROM Manager not working, is there another phone compatible with it, does it not matter, or is there another way?
ROM manager does NOT support our phone. DON'T click anything. UNINSTALL ROM MANAGER!! Manually get to CWM, although, ROM Manager can take you there.
Yea if you are using Rom manager to boot into recovery/download mode I suggest using Quick Boot. It works on GB and ICS roms and is very simple.
QUESTION/PROBLEM SOLVED
FOR THOSE WONDERING HOW TO RESTORE SAMSUNG GALAXY S RELAY 4G TO STOCK USING FIRMWARES DOWNLOADED FROM www(.)sammobile(.)com/ FOLLOW THE STEPS I GUESSED WOULD WORK BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY DOES WORK----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S Relay from T-Mobile(ICS 4.0.4) a few months ago. I enjoyed the root and everything but I've been receiving these OTA updates from T-Mobile and I want to update my phone. But of course, it fails to update because it is rooted. I went to www(dot)sammobile(dot)com/ (This is my first post so I am not able to post links yet, but I hope you know what website I'm talking about as you are all probably experts) and went to the Latest Firmwares tab. I typed in my phone information and saw the latest firmware and downloaded it. It was a 591MB file so it took a while to download. I extracted the .zip file and it was one tar.md5 file. I'm planning on flashing the stock firmware from Sammobile to reset my phone to stock as if I just got it in the mail still inside the box and untouched using Odin 3.07. I've done some research on YouTube on how to do so but the tutorials were for Samsung Galaxy SIII, S2, and Note 2. I was wondering if this would work the same way on my phone as it is part of the Samsung family. I'm guessing my steps in doing so are as follows:
1) Connect Samsung Galaxy S Relay from T-Mobile to computer using the USB cable.
2) Make sure USB debugging is enabled in the phone.
3) Check to see if my device can be recognized by typing "adb devices" from the adb program inside platform-tools folder.
4) Make sure in Odin v3.07 that is says Added! on the bottom left area.
5) Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are marked check.
6) Click PDA and find the extract file that ended with tar.md5 for your phone.
7) Click Start.
Before doing anything to my rooted phone, were my steps correct?
Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me first explain the thought process that went on before this all happened:
I wanted to stream my Spotify from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100 to my smart TV via BubbleUPNP. But I couldn't do this for a number of reasons: my tablet wasn't a rooted device or running Android 4.1+ or had the Xposed framework. So I set to work trying to root my device and upgrade it to 4.1 in the process.
I used Odin to root my device and install the Xposed framework. This all went very smoothly and was impressed.
But the biggest error of all came when I tried to upgrade my Android version by Odin to about 4.1
+.
I managed to get what I thought was the correct ".tar" file. But part way through I was faced with an error message saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" so I tried using Samsungs own "Kies" to recover my device. But I soon found out this would be no help because "gt-p5100 does not support initializing." so this application was useless. I then done a bit more digging around on the internet and found out that I can simply restore my device with the correct file on Odin again.
I don't quite know exactly what happened next but I'm presuming I made a ridiculously stupid error and downloaded and loaded the wrong file onto my device. My device now thinks it's a 7" "GT-P3100."
With the tablet being completely useless because the touch screen no longer works because of the confusion between the models and I cannot find the correct files to load onto Odin for it to work either, mainly because I've given up on things to even search.
I am asking this because I've tried for hours with no luck and need help restoring my tablet back to a "GT-5100" so I can then root it on Odin and upgrade the OS to 4.1+.
Please also note I could not simply upgrade my OS by going into setting/about device/etc.
I can see how this stupidity can being funny to others but my simple accident has cost me dearly and I would appreciate some help from other.
Thanks,
Mike.
Hi,
Normally flashing firmware from another device that's not yours is a brick, especially with Samsung.... But hopefully because it's another tab 2 firmware, you can fix yours. But definitely exercise caution in the future.
The place most are getting Samsung firmware, especially older models is sammobile website.
Other than that, any links I found on XDA for it are dead.
You obviously know how to flash with Odin, so try sammobile and find your correct firmware.
If you have further issues, you should ask for help in your device section, here,
> Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 > Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Okay I was worried it could be bricked, but if I managed to get an error message on an install to then be able to simply change the model with the wrong file, I hoped I could almost mess up an install to get back to that stage to then be able to completely re-install my original correct files.
Thank you I will try Sammobile. I think that might've even been where I got the wrong file from in the first place.
Thanks a lot for your reply it fills me with hope knowing there might be a way to rectify my mistake.
Hi guys,
I have accidentally brick my friend's Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, it just keeps itself in a bootloop. It's the german version. As it has no external sd card and my stupidity of not backing up before installing a custom rom led to the result that I cannot push/copy another ROM to the device. I used ODIN to flash CWM 5.5 and it doesn't support sideloading. So in other words, I am out of ideas. I am not very used to adb. Is there some way I can push a ROM to the tablet? I have also searched for TWRP for this device but found only dead links (in hopes it would have sideloading).
Can anybody help me out here?
