Hi is there a way to root my p5110 without having to flash a custom recovery?
Just pushing the update.zip on sd and using stock recovery? or do i have to use odin/heimdall or mobile odin, to install a recovery and afterwards flashing the root files.
It is the tab of my wife, and so no much modding or deleting allowed. I only need root access for some apps. (adblockers, and other tweaks)
When flashing CWM does it delete anything else (factory reset like/ like unlocking other bootloaders?)?
I think you need to use odin (better as easier) or heimdall ,then use Triangle away app to reset the counter to zero again so no trace of using Odin
See this thread (had similar question but for 7 inch tab)

Hello everybody. This is my second post and obviously I'm a noob. I own the Samsung Galaxy R I9103 and would love to root it. I have been researching the probable options for the last few days and here's what I have come up with. I really need help in deciding which way to go about rooting my phone.
Option 1. The hard old way - Flashing the Superuser.zip package through ODIN PDA
http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-i9103-tutorial/
The rooting package included in this method probably also includes the CWM(ClockworkMod) recoveryconfused
A simpler explanation of this old school method will be much appreciated.
I'm a bit skeptical about this method as this method probably comes with the famous yellow triangle and I really don't know how to get rid of it.(enlighten me).
Option 2. Flash CWM through ODIN --> Backup through CWM --> Flash Superuser.zip through CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406880
Are the ODIN, CWM and Superuser packages mentioned in this method the latest ones for the Galaxy R or are there new ones available?
Are there any complications that might arise by using this method(known issues?)?
Option 3: Flashing CWM through ODIN --> Flashing a rooted custom kernel through CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418895
Here the dev has been generous in providing 2 options: 1. Zip package Flashabe through CWM recovery
2. ODIN flashable package.
Which one should I go for?
This kernel provides OverClocking options. Is OC only available through custom kernels or can SetCPU help in overclocking if I go for option 2? If I go for option 2 to root my phone will I be able to later flash a custom rooted ROM like the one above without any complications?
Okay, here are a few important questions:
Option 1 seems tedious, so probably ruled out. I'm confused between option 2 and 3. What is the best, easiest and safest(data loss) way to go about?
Will any of the above methods wipe out the phone storage contacts, notes, settings, apps etc? Please provide a few tips about backup as well(Stock ROM or kernel backup through CWM? for later restoration). Any suggestions will be really helpful..TIA
option 1 doesn't exist!!!!!
There's no way to flash zips via Odin, only tar /tar.md5
The best way is to flash CWM via Odin (doesn't increase download counter) and then flash superuser.zip via CWM. So I guess option nr 2. It's the safest!
If you flash custom kernel via Odin, you'll get yellow triangle and your download counter will increase. Via CWM you can flash anything without that risk. Rooting won't cause your data/settings loss. The only way to create a backup of your system, data, cache is nandroid backup on CWM.
Never mind...

Download Counter is Samsung's technique to keep a check on the number of times custom firmware had been flashed on the phone.
But there's a work around & it can be reset before giving to Samsung to service center for warranty claims.
Hope this helps.
I am at a loss as to how to backup the stock recovery partition on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5113).
If I follow the rooting instructions in this forum, the first step is to overwrite the stock recovery with CWM. That's fine, but I would like to save the factory recovery first, in case I ever need to flash it back.
If I try to use "dd" to copy from the /dev/block device, of course I get a permission denied, since I do not have root (yet).
If I try to use heimdall dump of the NAND chip, I get an empty file.
I have tried various temp root methods, but as I expected, they do not work (ICS, I assume, has fixed all exploits in its kernel).
Is there any way to do this?
At the present time I do not think so, their is a way to use nvflash and backup the stock recovery for the original galaxy tab I tried that but their is a driver needed that isnt supported, my guess is we will have to wait, however if ODIN can flash maby we should be asking for them to add in a feature to read the block device, btw is it mmcblock08 that stores the recovery img?
Recently I hard-bricked my Tab whilst installing a Rom on it (Brick Bug). Now I have a replacement, and it's about time I replaced the HC with something else.
I plan to use the 'Singha ROM ICS P6800DXLP7' ROM and ' Dedraks' GT-P6800' kernel. I'm guessing installation for both is via CWM, but that is how I bricked my tab last time. How can I work around this as to not brick it again? Odin? Which do I install first? Any guidance would really be appreciated!
Thanks
Which cwm you using that cause it to brick?
Share some detail procedure...wipe on stock rom, custom rom, kernel...etc which end with brick?
For now I believe safe atm..
- From stock ICS
- Root with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849235
- Install cwm using Mobile Odin
- Boot to cwm recovery
- Flash custom rom and custom kernel
- Reboot recovery NOT reboot system.
- Full wipe and fix permission
- Reboot system to home screen
That what I always do
Here's what works for me
first, d/l CWM to SD card.
then power down.
reboot into download mode ,PC Odin is my install of choice for the roms...
then power down again after the new rom installs and re-boots
re-boot into recovery and choose install zip from SD and choose CWM (which is a temporary install)
dont wipe anything, just choose to install zip and then choose your new kernel.
After kernel (a safe one) installs, then re-boot system.
Ive never bricked this tab or my GN7000 Note
good luck
correct me if im wrong, but as long as you do not factory reset in stock ics recovery you are okay. Right?
Some Note GT 7000 guys reported that they bricked their phablets by copping large files (being on ICS). If this doesn't affect our P6800s, then you are not wrong.
I had installed LQ2 without wiping anything. But had many Screen Offs and Shut Downs, so I considered to risk the clean install.
Did it with Mobile Odin Pro, but first
Ensured that I already have CWM 6.0.0.1
Flashed Dedraks Kernel.
In Mobile Odin chosen "open file..." and then the particular md5 file,
BUT EXCLUDED:
1. Kernel
2. Recovery
Then I selected "wipe" and "clean", crossed my fingers and everything went OK.
Not quite everything, because I lost root, although I am pretty sure that I did not unselect "everroot'.
It was not a big issue. Installed again "root.zip" via CWM recovery.
Its about a week since then and I have nothing to complain.
...
Thanks for the responses guys.
Does this sound safe?:
Flash LQ2 via PC Odin
Root from universal recovery
Flash CWM 6.0.11 via PC Odin
Flash Dedraks Kernel via CWM
Then root again if needed.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm thinking about rooting my Note 10.1 (mostly because I want to use DicertoryBind/Link2SD) via ClockworkMod Recovery.
My questions:
I won't receive any OTA updates, cause the status will be custom, right?
I want to stay on stock FW, what can I do to update my tablet if there is a new OTA:
Can I directly flash the FW from sammobile with odin or are they not campatible with cwm? Would that mean that every time there is a new OTA, I have to unroot, flash back to stock recovery, get the OTA, flash back cwm and root again?
Isn't there a way to flash the update while keeping all my data (just like normal OTA does) and root ?
Thanks!

You can flash using ODIN, but you will need to re root the device, also chances are you will not lose data but in rare cases you will need to do a factory reset which will mean you lose all your data.

Above answer should answer this also but you will need to re-root the device

Okay, that means I download the firmware from for instance sammobile, flash it using ODIN (will that be PDA only, like flashing cwm?), and then re root means install superSU again from cwm or installing cwm completely new?
*edit* Thanks for the sticky!
Yes you can use this post to know how to install using odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366
You do not require CWM to root you can use the exynos patch apk to root you can download the apk from here

Hey, thanks so far, I just installed CWM, everything went fine, but if I look at the system status it still says "offical", does that mean I can receive OTA's? Or won't that work cause of CWM?
Also I believe before it didn't say "official" but "normal".
*edit* okay, nevermind, after a reboot it sys now "custom"
Since you have rooted your device you can also use Mobile ODIN to flash the roms from sammfirmware directly on your note 10.1. You just make sure everroot is ticked but if you think you might loose root then have both the CWM.tar file saved on your device, its a tiny file so no real space lost or if you don't care about CWM but want root access then keep the exynosexploit.apk on your device. I have everything I need on the sd card in case I cant get to a PC. Much better when I'm not tied to the PC...

Thanks so far, but theres one question left: From what you've said I think it's possible to flash with odin or mobile odin while CWM is still installed, what will happen to CWM after the flash? Is it completely gone (stock recovery comes with the firmware?!) or does "re root" only mean that I have to reinstall superSU with CWM?
You will go back to stock recovery but you might retain root if you ticked everoot function....
As I said earlier, you can reflash CWM onto your Note using mobile ODIN if you have the CWM.tar file stored on your device...
+1 for Mobile Odin if you're wanting to stay stock.
Use Exynos Abuse to root the first time.
Install Mobile Odin pro.
Backup your EFS partition off the device.
Install CWM using Mobile Odin and make a nandroid backup.
Back up apps with Titanium if required.
Download the new stock from you want and use Mobile Odin to install with Everoot selected.
Use Mobile Odin to install CWM.
Simplest method I've found by far.

After rooting with exynos abuse root, can you just do a factory reset to make you stock again to get OTA's?
I don't believe so (prepared to be corrected) but if you reinstall the stock rom without Everoot ticked and factory reset you'll be back to stock unmodified.

Never tried but I don't think so, The OTA checks for an unmodified system and even though stock recovery says its official the status in settings is "Custom".
What if I'm on the stock rom (never went custom) and stock recovery. All I did was root? Would a recovery restore allow me to get OTA's?
if you are on stock recovery then why would you restore recovery.
Yes if you are rooted only you will receive OTA if you are on the orignal rom (rom from country which note was purchased irrespective of the version you are on)

That is my situation, exactly. So, I can take OTAs in my present situation? I used #2 root option from zedomax. I haven't changed anything or used a custom rom. All I want to do is get current on my updates, and retain root and CWM.
Should I also use TriangleAway, and at what point? Thank you.
Apologies to the OP, but I've been waiting for a chance to resolve this.
If you used method 2 you have replaced the stock recovery... That's what CWM recovery means...
You're flash counter will now be one and need to be reset using triangle away. No OTA for you...

I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 gt-p5113
I tried to root it before, but got as far as flashing the recovery software ( can't find the thread I used to do this but I think it involved odin)
anyways when I flashed the recovery software the tab got stuck at the boot screen and I though it was bricked but after reflashing and restarting it a few times it worked again....needless to say I didn't have the balls to try rooting it after that.....
now when I search for software updates it says my device has been modified and cannot update ( it still is NOT rooted )
Is this because of the recovery software?...which as far as I can tell hasn't been properly installed cause I can't find any evidence of it on my tab, even when i hold down the power and volume button and the recovery software is supposed to show up.
and how do i undo it so that I can get updates? I just want the stock software back. will a factory reset do the trick?
No, the instant you attempted to install CWM, a bootloader data value changed that made your device always read as modified. There are three ways to get to Jelly Bean from where you are.
1. Root and run TriangleAway. This app will reset the bootloader counter, so you should be able to upgrade normally.
2. Install CWM via ODIN and install a custom JB-based ROM. You will need to root first if you want to keep your data via Titanium Backup.
3. ODIN a JB-based ROM for your carrier/region. Same deal as above with rooting and keeping your data.

I have this same exact problem. I have tried to un-root but nothing happned. I have tried to update via Kies and nothing happened. Should I try to root again? I just want to get the 4.2.2 update.
If you want your device's status to read "official",
1. Root your device (I prefer Chainfire autoroot)
2.a) Run triangle away, reset your bin (flash) counter. Now your bootloader will say 0 counts.
2.b) As for the device status (in about device), there's a button just under "reset" in triangle away application, tap it and reboot. Your device status will now be "official"
3. (Optional) Go to your Superuser application, tap cleanup and unroot (if available)
Now you're unrooted, and running official firmware. You can use OTA anytime.
