some files are shared but the first one in the method I used is DIFFERENT (and is VERY important you use the right one) and no P3113 and P3110 are not the SAME (if they where exactly the same they wouldn't get different numbers)
use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625 It what I did, only thing I did different was turn on USB debugging before powering down and used a newer build of CWM but it should work the same.
just to be clear, they use the same rooting zip files but require there unique build of CWM to be flashed with Odin so you can flash the rooting zips.
thanks very helpful

do a search for an app called Triangle Away, if you look in here the dev provides a free download but if you get it on the play store its a paid app. I haven't used it but thats what the forum says to use, you only to bother with it right before restoring to stock to take an OTA or when sending it in for repairs so it's not a big deal to worry about the counter.

Just want to know the best way to go about doing this, wary of my google search results, sites seem sketchy. My Tab is not rooted, I don't mind flashing data. I'm in Canada so I cannot upgrade thru kies or OTA.
If you want to keep it completely stock, no root, the easiest (or, maybe the only) way is to download stock 4.2.2 ROM and flash with Odin. You can check sammobile or samsung-updates, but getting the file might be a hassle after all that recent mess with changing file hosting from hotfile...
Also Upgrading my Tab 2 7.0 P3113 from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2
I am also in Canada and looking for the 4.2.2 stock rom as well.
So far every listing I have searched for has been unsuccessful for getting the files due to hotfile shutdown or the other sites make you wait only to do nothing after clicking on the download buttons.
So please let me know if you find the 4.2.2 stock rom....

Sorry, but you'll have to do some reading, since all these things have been explained many times. No point repeating it here. You can start with the Tab 2 FAQ:

I just checked my laptop, and I have version 3.07 -- looks like that's what I used for both Tab 2 and my old SGS2. I haven't used Odin for a very long time, so I forgot... 1.85 should work, too.

OK. Basically you'll have to root it, flash a custom recovery like CWM and go to CM's site and pull a pre-built ROM for your device and install it via recovery. But it's likely to be a tedious process with many many details left for you to figure out yourself.
You'll most likely need Odin/Heimdall to deal with Samsung Galaxy devices. Since you are using S3, a very popular model, hopefully there are already pre-rooted images for your specific model on the Internet. Just grab one (be careful with its version!) and flash it with Odin/Heimdall. Usually flashing PDA(Odin 3.07)/AP(Odin 3.09) alone is enough. There are many tutorials on how to accomplish that with either program in the forums.
Be sure to wipe the data partition before installing CM or it may get stuck in the boot loop.

Ok. So heres my problem... i have had a Kindle fire for 2 1/2 years and it finally broke a few weeks ago. I decided to get a real Android tablet so i decided on the Galaxy Tab because all of my friends love their Galaxy devices.
The first problem i ran into was that i could not change the default app install location.
I found many ways to fix it without root and tried all of them.
Long story short none of them worked.
I am now attempting to root my Galaxy in order to use a sure-fire way that i know will work.
I do not want to install twrp/cwrm because i am afraid of bricking my device as i did with my kindle fire.
(this was fixed by my friend with a fastboot cable)
I have discovered the Android recovery menu and there seems to be a button that says
"Apply update from external storage". when i click the button, it says choose package to flash.
i need to know if this only accepts firmware roms or if it will accept custom flashable packages.
please help,

Someone else previously rooted my 5113 running Android 4.1.1 I had problems with the Tab 2 turning off during screen timeouts, so I reset it to factory specs. That solved the timeout problem Now I am trying to root it using Odin and CF Auto Root. However, when I attempt to get into the download mode, after getting past the triangle, I get the message: "Downloading do not turn off target" and can't root with Odin.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this and get in the download mode? Also, I have been looking at rooting from within the Tab and have run into framaroot and Kingoroot if I can't get into the download mode. Does anyone have any opinions on those programs, or can anyone suggest a rooting method to me that won't require me to use the download mode if I can't get the download mode working on my Tab.

Your Download mode is working fine. that's how normally a working download mode screen looks like. since your tab was previously rooted, it's still rooted even after a factory reset. how? rooting makes changes to your tab's system partition while factory reset will only clear the data partition and cache partition. so the changes are still there, but it might be possible that the superuser was installed on data partition and got wiped out. so root won't be accessible. if there is some other error in odin, let us know.

those softwares are fine as long as your only goal for the tab is to stay on stock rom, delete the bloatwares and able to customize your apps. but if your goal is to get higher android versions and try custom roms, then you should skip all this and head to flash custom recovery, preferably the twrp. if you need more info, please search the forums a little bit, I am sure you will find lot of informations here.

Billysam,
Thanks for your very detailed and useful reply. I think what happened with my inability to use download was that I needed to install USB drivers. I have a somewhat weird situation now. I installed a root checker and it said that I was not rooted. However, I was able to install SuperUser SU and Titanium Pro Backup and the Titanium seems to work in that I can uninstall whatever I wish.
So, is there any reason for me to use the Odin method and re-root my Tab? Also, I want a rom with KitKat and screen mirroring. Are there any Roms you would suggest? Thanks again for your help.

Screen mirroring works with omni and slim roms as far as I remember, all are pretty much stable right now, sorry I can't suggest any one, you will have to figure it out yourself, cause tab 2 series behave differently with each rom for each users. cause for some it works the way it should, for some same doesn't happen. still I don't know how much truth is in this, cause I am saying this by observing the forum at a particular time. so it should be all okay right now.
since you want to upgrade, first keep a backup then flash a custom recovery the twrp one from android-andi website
Read the thread from here, I explained here pretty much more details,

Billy Sam, I was going to donate to you, but PayPal said your Ebay email address was inadequate. Please leave a different address and I will make a donation.

One other thing. My tab has started turning off again when I have a screen timeout. If a new rom doesn't help the problem, what is the effect of a factory reset. You said before that my 5113 was still rooted. If I factory reset, should I do something with the SuperSu file or any other files to make sure the Tab performs like a typically rooted Android. Thanks again for your help.

Yes, that is correct, the twrp is same for p5113 and p5110.
if you have noticed the android-andi's recovery page
there are 2 type of these one is The new "Common TWRP" (which won't be able to flash Roms compiled before 22.03.2016.)
and the second one is device specific where users of both p5110/p5113 use the same file.
(used to flash ROMs prior to the unified project)
Unified Project Roms and recoveries will generally be where you see
espresso3g -> P5100
and
espressowifi -> P5110,P5113 (so if you see espressowifi, it is safe to flash for p5113)
One other thing. My tab has started turning off again when I have a screen timeout. If a new rom doesn't help the problem, what is the effect of a factory reset.

Like I said factory reset will hardly change anything with the system partition. Since the superSu apk and its data was installed on data partition and was lost after factory reset. you can just make sure that superSu is installed in system partition, when you open superSu setting you will find to move the app to the system option. once you do that, reboot and SuperSu will be there even after a factory reset.
Ah the donation. I never thought of that. so never really set up an account. will let you know when I do, it will up.

Some of the information might be broken when the data was wiped. did you check the twrp manager app was granted root access from the superSU app? if not try disable and enable the root access from the SuperSU app. if it's still not working.
Do you get any Su binary needs to be updated error? if that's there you will get 2 options to either select normal or cwm/twrp(since you don't have a custom recovery, try normal method only).
if it's still causing error then the easy way would be to root the tab again, but considering the errors you're already getting along with the changes, it would be a bad idea doing that without starting out with a fresh stock firmware. which would be a much better and safer option to go with.
You aren't using Odin with PC and trying things within the tab itself,(it would have been much better) but since you can't then there is the flashify app, that will help you to flash recovery.img format file(useful for updating the recovery on the go) from within and there is Mobile Odin too for the p51xx series. see if this works. but be careful while using these apps check you're flashing the correct file. the mobile odin can flash firmware from the tab itself.
Hello Forum,
I am in desperate need of rooting my old Galaxy Express Prime 2 (SM-J327a), because I accidentally deleted all of my images. I cannot find a .tar file to recover the device. I checked TWRP's site, and they don't have a file to support this device yet. Does anyone know another way to root this device, or where I can find a .tar file to use with Odin? I have tried virtually all root apps and programs.
Thank you,
Mosaic Owl
I would like to second this request (though I am not near as desperate). Has anyone tried using the Samsung one click root method for this phone?

I tried loading up One Click Root on my laptop and it said it couldn't find its servers. I also tried flashing twrp for a similar Boost phone, (SM-J327p) knowing there was a risk of bricking it. My J327a was free and I plan to stick with my Moto, so I could afford to risk it, plus I've always been able to un brick anything from graphics cards to phones and game systems.
Anyway, Odin 3.12 gets a few steps into the twrp install, but before it actually begins to install, an error pops up that says "SHA256 is invalid". I searched for a couple of hours, and all I can come up with is that AT&T put an extra check in there to see where the files were coming from, and attempting to install custom recovery will cause this error. A modified Odin was released to skip this check on an older phone, but I could not find a working link to it.
That's what I came here for: a link to the modified Odin that will allow me to install TWRP without that check. If it's posted, DO NOT try flashing the wrong twrp recovery if you can't afford having it bricked for a while like I can.
I guess you would need to start with an eng bootloader that will let your phone boot then work on a tethered root... I'm still looking for binary 2 with rev 2 combination file without luck, all I need is to extract the boot and see if I can reset lock pattern. I tried google account but it does not have the option to lock-relock screen anymore. It's my nephew's phone and my daughter messed it up. I can login the google account and make it ring and locate it but can't disable the pattern. He has no backup of this phone...
Have any one make it done?
