[Q] P5113 Can't boot to CWM recovery - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Followed root guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 to the letter.
Odin loads and installs the downloaded recovery file. When I boot into recovery, it loads the stock android recovery instead of CWM.
I have downloaded the files several times, made sure the drivers are updated and installed and I still get the same result.
When in download mode, it says Custom Binary Download: Yes (10 counts)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Try the updated CWM recovery in my guide.

No joy! Downloaded your CWM recovery on a different pc and after flashing with Odin, I still can only boot to the stock android recovery.
My counter went up one more time. Pure frustration at this point!

I'm having the same problem on my 3113. I tried several times, odin says everything is good, count goes up and still Android recovery.

i have same proglem on GT-P5100.. what should i do.. :crying:

I can't guarantee this will fix it, buy you should try restoring to stock 4.0.3.

Rolled back to 4.03 and everything works great! Big thanks for your help!

How to rollback to 4.0.3?
I see folks talking about rollback to 4.0.3, yet no one explains how to do it or where to get the firmware image from! As far as I can tell, I have to have root access before I can flash anything. My device is reporting that it is not properly rooted. What do I do next? I've successfully rooted my EVO and my Galaxy Nexus, but the GTab2 has me stumped.

Same but with Heimdall. Well at least it is awesome Windows users experience the same troubles. This improves chances that somebody has enough rating here to post to the ClockworkMod recovery thread.

Look in the general thread. Links to 5110 and 5100 are in a guide thread that includes returning to stock in the title. The 5113 is in a different thread titled something like 5113 stock firmware

The problem appears to be that Samsung has gotten cute and restores stock recovery during the boot.
This isn't very nice -- they did the same thing with a recent update on their SGS-II phones as well, and I don't remember how I got around it.

I noticed this first on my Thrive tablet, then noticed it again on the 4.0.4 update. Once you are rooted, you can rename (If memory serves) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to something like /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
Then go back into download mode and reflash cwm recovery.
I incremented my flash count by about 5 before I remembered about this.
If you do not rename that script, by the time you see your boot animation, the stock recovery will have already overwritten your custom recovery..

I was going to follow your guide, which is well organized, but the firmware download for my p5113 is no longer supported by that site.

That´s the trick:
Uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin.
If Odin finished flashing: wait one minute.
Now DIRECTLY boot from Downloadmode into Recovery - don´t reboot into System!
Now enjoy CWM - no need to do this again

You probably dirty flashed, install cwm for the stock firmware you flashed via odin. Once installed go into cwm and wipe everything; data/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions. Try that and it should be able to workagain. Also you might have the wrong baseband installed.

Rooted now wont boot ! Help please

Recently rooted my Tmobile Tab 2 with no issues that I could see, got my superuser going and verified the root with Root Checker all was good. Then went to boot into recovery and saw that I had not TWRP so I grabbed a recovery installed via Odin and then restarted tablet and when it did I had it boot into recovery gave me the message "recovery booting" then would just turn off anytime I would try the Download mode or Booting it would just flash the recovery booting, what can I do to fix this an start from scratch. ADB ? if so does anyone have some resources to link me to try

Yeah there is a bit of a trick to get recovery going the first time, and it's not mentioned much. After you flash the recovery if your tab starts to reboot it will rewrite the original recovery. You have to catch it and do the power + volume down to get it to go straight to recovery. It's all about the timing. It took me flashing it about five times before I caught it just right. Just keep flashing it in Odin until you get it, you're doing it right your tab is just fighting it. After you get it the first time you'll have no more issues.
or uncheck "Auto-Reboot" inside Odin and use the Button-Combi to boot directly from Download-Mode into recovery after flashing
First time my Counter = 5 until i got it work

Yes, that's right! Or do you like to have a bricked device?
Never flash things from a different device to yours!
If you have a SGH-T779 - only use SGH-T779 -Files (e.g. Roms, Recoverys)
There's some development on CM for your device only, but no Rom released: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364028

So with the link you provided would I need to do the status 7 fix which is deleting the asserts line or is that necessary with this CM 10.1
don't remove assert lines - this will keep your device alive! there is no Custom rom out for your device! only a stockbased one.

Tab 2 will only boot to CWM

So we were trying to update my friend's Tab 2 to a 4.4.2 ROM. We got CWM 6.0.2.3 installed, and tried a ROM. Well this failed, and appeared to break other stuff as it now boot loops to CWM. Actually I think it's going every other book to CWM. Right now it's saying battery depleated. I've got it plugged intoa charger, hopefully it'll take a charge.
I did later realize we weren't using a new enough version of CWM, but regardless, any ideas how to recover from this? It does not appear to be able to go into download mode. It only goes to CWM. I've tried flashing other ROMs but that doesn't seem to be working either.
So...kinda stuck for the moment.
Thanks!

We have a winner... the next one who didn't pay any attention - i.e. reading the OP post of the ROM thread.
ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.x.y is ONLY for flashing CyanogenMod up to 10.1.3.
For flashing OMNI ROM or CyanogenMod 11 (both Android 4.4.2 at the time of writing) you _NEED_ to use TWRP (recommended for OMNI) or PhilzTouch Advanced Recovery or ClockworkMod Swipe Edition (recommended for CM11). See AndroidAndi's file repository to obtain a copy of the correct recovery for your particular model of the Tab 2.
Next thing to do: Download and install ODIN, install the "Samsung USB Drivers" (Google's your buddy), download the .tar.md5 of the recovery you want to flash (see above and make a choice), put the tablet into download mode, flash the recovery.
If that worked flash the custom ROM of choice (+gapps if CM11, +SuperSU if OMNI) through the custom recovery you just installed and be glad you didn't turn the tablet of your friend into a paperweight.

Speaking of not reading OPs and paying attention...I already said I realized that was the issue, and that I can't seem to get it to go into download mode, so that's likely paperweight land?

If you're down to "can't get it into download mode anymore" (I start to assume the attempt to flash some 4.4.2 ROM through CWM 6.0.x.x may overwrite partitions it's not supposed to overwrite) the only way left to breathe life back into the tablet is to resort to JTAG (UART port connection, CASUAL restoration package, USB Jig to force the tablet into UART mode).
If you search on XDA you will discover tons of threads by AdamOutler dealing with that topic, maybe that's useful to you in any way to figure out if that's an option for you.
Does it stay in CWM once it boots? If so you can copy a TWRP 2.7.0.x zip file to your SD card and install it from there.

Stock Android or Custom ROM?

Hey,
Since I saw how Stock Android looks for the first time, I wanted to get my Tablet's UI (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 32GB WiFi) to look as nice as the stock Android one. I have already installed the Google Experience Launcher and it's in my opinion just so much better than the Samsung TouchWiz one. But I'd like to go one step further: installing a Stock Android or Custom ROM. Sadly, I don't have any experience with custom ROMs nor with the custom recovery stuff.
From what I heard, a custom ROM would have more features and would be more customizable than the stock Android, so I would prefer a custom ROM - but which? I don't have any experience with any of them and I don't really know much about the risks as the galaxy tab isn't a device that is officially supported by any of the custom roms. I would like to know what you would recommend to me.

If you look in the development section for your tablet, there are lots of KitKat Roms available. If you want close to stock with not too many additional features, I recommend SlimKat. If you want something with more features and customization, but still has the stock android look and feel, I would go for CyanogenMod11 or OmniRom.

I don't care that much about getting a pure stock Android experience than just about getting rid of TouchWiz. I have looked through the Roms available and from what I read and saw, I liked OmniRom and CM the most. Could you please tell me, what the differences between these are?

I have a 7 inch, not 10 inch but the features should be the same. I am currently running Omni Homemade Unofficial (it has multi window.) CM has its theming engine and omni does not. Omni has multi window, OmniSwitch and other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head. Both have heads up I believe. The features should be listed in the ROM thread. I'd tell ya now, but it's kinda hard to on my phone.

I haven't used odin in a while, but there us a download of Odin at samfirmware.com. Just search for your tab and click any firmware for it. Don't download the firmware, but in the instructions for how to flash there is an Odin download. Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 from the link and flash it in Odin as PDA. That one and 2.7.*.* supports KK, but if you will be using adb in windows while in recovery, you will need 2.6.3.3. Before flashing CM, go into backup and chech every backup option and click start. This may take awhile. Then (assuming you already have CM and Gapps on your tab) go into wipe > advanced wipe and check system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Now you can flash your ROM and gapps. After that flashes click wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

Not cm and gapps installed. Cm and Gapps zip file on your tab to flash. And in case something goes wrong in recovery (wiped internal SD) adb can save you there. There is nothing wrong with twrp 2.6.3.3.

Looks like you have stock recovery going. Try to reroot your system, odin in your TWRP 2.7.1 .tar file and then try again with your .zips. I always put files on external sd and flash from there just in case something is funky internally

Prerequisites: Tablet running stock JB or higher
SuperSU zip file on tablet (this will root your tablet. Download from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu )
Odin 1.87 on computer (the title will say GT-N7000 but this doesn't matter. Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1068597&d=1337343150 and extract to an Odin folder)
Drivers on computer
In Windows you will need to use Odin 1.87. Make sure you run the Odin exe as admin. Use that to flash the TWRP or PhilZ tar.md5 file. @Android-Andi has a recovery thread in the dev section. Download the file from there. Use the PDA option in Odin to flash it. Make sure that the only box checked is PDA. Do not check any other boxes. When it says PASS, flashing is finished. Wait 10 seconds and unplug your tablet. Boot into recovery by holding in power and volume up (volume up on the 10 inch is the volume button farthest from power and is frequently confused for volume down since they are reversed) and flash the SuperSU zip file. You are now rooted. If this doesn't work or Odin doesn't recognize tour tablet, I can give you Linux instructions.

Would you mind attaching a copy of your recovery.img?
Looks like they have the stock images up now @ nvidia.

Unfortunately, you need to be a registered developer to download.
Stock recovery attached. Confirmed working on my device.

Is this recovery compatible with the LTE version?

I don't know. I wouldn't use it without assurance from someone who knows for sure. Sorry I can't help more.
just register as a developer, no strings attached, just create an account and you can download all os recovery images
i moved up all the way to 2.2.1, then reinstalled 1.2.1 because i wasn't liking lollipop
also unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM and rooted
now i want to try the BitO kernel, which is only available to 2.2.1, so installed the 2.1 update (through CWM, as i forgot to flash the stock recovery for 1.2.1)
now i try to install 2.2, but recovery gives me an error
flashed CWM again, doesn't want to flash the OTA
flashed the 2.1 stock recovery, it starts the update but almost immediately gives me an error
yes i could flash the 2.2.1 OS recovery image, but then i would lose all my data....
EDIT: never mind, fixed it, flash boot.img, recovery.img, erased system, flashed system img, all from 2.1 update zip file, reboot, now 2.2 is installing through OTA

Just curious, what was it about 2.2.1 that you didn't like? What was wrong with lolipop?
i prefered the way the notification pulldown worked in KK, some settings were quicker to reach
not too fond of the navigation buttons either
it's weird i know, they're in the same location, have the same function, but they just look wrong
look too much like the symbols on a Playstation controller
and GameGuardian doesn't work on Lollipop (yet), but by going back to KK i managed to fix what i wanted to fix
i hope nvidia gets it right this time with the 5.1 update, disabling swap would be nice
hmm, seems lag isn't gone at all...
was playing a bit of Sky Force 2014 yesterday, holy crap the lag
also noticed other apps were lagging
sure hope 5.1 will fix this
