Rooting latest update with CF-Auto-Root - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Getting my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tomorrow.
Planning on rooting right away with CF-Auto-Root.
Is this guide correct:
http://android.pandaapp.com/news/12...msung_Galaxy_Tab___P_GUIDE.shtml#.UNgpPHdn0r4
Do I need to install CWMrecovery before? Or can I do that more easily after I have rooted. I intend to make a Nandroid backup of my device.
Thank you.

Hi,
Can the 'stock recovery' that CF-Auto-Root installs make a Nandroid backup of my device?
Or do I need to install CWM ROM Manager after I have used CF-Auto-Root to root?
Thank you.

Run cf auto root, then your version of clockwork mod. If you do it backwards, you will end up with stock recovery flashed over clockworkmod. Good luck.

Thanks, all done.
But after I made my Nandroid backup, CWM gave me a message that my device might reflash stock recovery. It said fix it but I said no...
How do I know if I'm still running CWM as my recovery? If I'm not, does that make my Nandroid backup useless if anything goes wrong?
Thanks.

Help, recovery not installing update.zip

I had froyo running on here for about 2 days but decided to revert back to 2.1 for voodoo amongst other reasons, now I can't root since stock recovery won't install update.zip, instead it just says installation aborted.
If this has been discussed elsewhere before I apologize but I couldn't find it when I searched. Any help would be great....
So you are on 2.1 now? I would Odin one more time and try root again. Do a master clear as well and see if that helps.
Already reodined, and how long does Master Clear take? It seems to start then hang and never finish no matter how many times I've tried it in the past. And when I say hang I mean I've waited 45 minutes before...
When I rolled back from 2.2 I downloaded and flashed JF6 using the Odin 1-click. I then was able to use Clockworkmod to install my Nandroid backup of JH7. It should be as simple as that. I didn't even need to do a master clear.
You can't use clockwork mod without root though and since I can't install any update.zip I can't root...
How are you trying to root your phone? One click method our some other way?

Do you still have the update.zip from the Clockworkmod install? I flashed a non-rooted JF6 firmware and was able to load Clockwordmod to restore my backup. My JF6 flash wasn't rooted.

That's the beauty of Clockwork, if you backed up with Nandroid and you still have Clockwork as your update.zip then when you use your Nandroid backup the root is on the backup. No need to manually root after Odin.

looking for stock rooted tmobile rom ?

I wonder why nobody create a stock root tmobile rom for our 1S. The only option i can find is a nandroid stock root 1.84 but it's only for CWM( there is a lot problem to do restore with that nandroid ) , not for TWRP?
It will take you about a minute to flash cwm. Use it to flash the nandroid after which you can go back to twrp recovery.
Make a nandroid with twrp.

yeah, i know that method. i just curious why we don't have a stock root rom in our phone section? I used to have dell streak/vibrant/captivate/mytouch 4g/sensation/samsung s3(now)..all of them have stock root rom. It's just more convenient. :laugh:

[Q] Does a Nandroid backup back up recovery as well?

I have the Verizon Galaxy S3.
I had no modifications on my phone at all; it was stock everything. I wanted to install Hyperdrive on the phone so I went through the usual steps.
1) Root
2) Flash CWM
3) Create nandroid back up within CWM
4) Flash Hyperdrive ROM
I used Hyperdrive for a few weeks, but then I wanted to go back to stock, so I restored my backup. I was on stock for another few months and then OTA updates started coming in. I know that I cannot install OTA updates with a custom recovery. (I assumed I still had CWM)
So here is the thing...I thought that the backup I made was in the state of being rooted with CWM and stock ROM. So I assumed that after restoring the backup, I was rooted with CWM and stock ROM. So I double checked and found that I was not rooted and I had stock recovery installed. Does anyone know how this happened?

After you rooted and installed CWM did you let your phone bootup first, then boot back down into CWM then do the backup? Seems like you didn't do that. Your Root, CWM did not loaded when you run the CWM backup.

It does not backup your recovery, but you can backup your recovery partition separately. If you restore to stock it will still nag you to update. To stop it you need to freeze sdm1.0 and rename fwupdater.apk.
The update should fail, but if you're unlucky it'll go through enough to lock you down and stick you on 4.3. So either change the rom as soon as possible or freeze and rename the apks.

I believe I used a 1 step script to root and install my recovery. Something very similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825
I had my phone booted up, plugged into my PC and I allowed the 1-click script root it install CWM. Then I rebooted into CWM, and did a backup. So by not rebooting my phone after doing all this, then the root and CWM were not in the backup? Why is that the case? if I am able to boot into CWM, doesn't that mean the CWM already sits in my recovery partition? Thus, if I do a backup of it, shouldn't I get CWM in the recovery?

A nandroid doesn't backup your recovery, only your data, sd card, and caches. It's the same cwm installed by casual.

If that's the case, then how could I possibly be on stock recovery? I definitely needed CWM to install Hyperdrive and to create the Nandroid backup that I used to restore.
Currently I'm not running latest cwm, but I'm runing TWRP and it does backup recovery and efs by default. I'm sure that cwm can do the same but is it set by default? I don't know. here the info I found on cwm:

Some roms are capable of reinstalling a stock recovery. Sometimes if it's not taken out of a rom, it will sense you have a custom recovery and reinstall the stock recovery over it.
Most of the time it's taken out of the touchwiz roms, but I guess in this case it wasn't.
That's the only way it could happen.
Additionally, that isn't even cwm, that's philz touch recovery, those features are unique to that recovery only.

[Q] How to ROOT Galaxy GT-N8000 with 4.4.2 Oficial rom?

I'd like to install Gnabo's rom but for it I have to install a new recovery (CWM).
This CWM replacement recovery do the root together, right?
But I'm afraid cause the KNOX will be counted, right?
So what can I do?
Thank you.

Hi,
Yes you are correct it will be counted however this is a way to reset it. Check this very detailed guide written by Darkman. It explains step by step how to root the phone and Install CWM over Odin. All the links are there.
[RECOVERY][RootGuide][ALL NOTE 10.1]Official CWM Recovery Touch & Non-Touch 6.0.3.6
Instead of installing the regular CWM may I suggest installing Phillz version of CWM, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010 (WiFi Only) PhilZ Touch Advanced CWM Recovery its CWM but tweaked. I have been trying to install a the Hyperdrive rom for days now and have had no luck over CWM or TWRP due to the AROMA freezing issue and I just tried Phillz and it flashed the Rom no problem the first time. I literally tried over 100 times today to flash it over CWM and nothing.
Hope that helps. PM me if you have any issues

Just framroot, thats it? You dont have to do all the geek process explained in forums? After framroot, were you able to import apps successfully through titanium backup?

It's been a while but p900 5.0.2 root help sd card

OK got a p900 again and dare I say it's been actually really fun to use again. Everything is more mature, I updated to 5.0.2 I r a the p900 WiFi model however, how do I root again please.
Plus is there any recommended roms? Ideally looking for one with less bloats are to be honest as I find the spend useful to clip ideas whi'e drawing etc from websites and pdf.
bump, anyone?
There's a recent thread talking about king root working. Not sure the full process though for lollipop as I didn't root lollipop I just went straight to a rooted lollipop ROM.
My advice is download and install TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706982), make an nandroid backup and then install the latest version of civs ROM.

I believe there's a guide thread for lollipop and root and you were the last poster in it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...guide-install-official-lollipop-p900-t3154362). While I don't know for certain what the answer is for you in the UK I am fairly confident that following the TWRP+Root section in the first post in that thread will work for you.
Just be mindful of the locations you download the TWRP and SuperSu files (you download one to your computer, you download the other to the tablet's SD card). Also pay attention to button combinations in the instructions because they're important (i.e. Power+Home+VolumeDown does something different than Power+Home+VolumeUp !!). Lastly make sure to heed the red text in the instructions too because if you allow the tablet to reboot prior to installing SuperSu then you'll likely end up in a bootloop and have to get back into stock recovery and restart the process again (worse, you may even have to wipe the device clean using Kies).
Good luck.
If you can at least get TWRP and root working on your device you can then do a backup in TWRP and also get backups of your apps/data using Titanium Backup prior to exploring other ROMs.

Thank you, if I root can anything bad go wrong?
Do I get the original samsung rom and then flash back to stock if needed?.
Also does Wanam Xposed work with Lollipop, want to download an adblocker for my tablet and grant sd access.
To be honest given your apprehension I'm of the mind that if your best course of action is going with the custom ROM. I would root using the documented method first, install Titanium Backup once your stock ROM is rooted and then do a full backup of your apps. I would also do a full backup of your system in TWRP. If you're pressed for space after that then copy the backup files off of the device onto your computer before erasing them.
Once your backups are done (and I'm presuming you want to back things up first) then proceed with doing the Civs ROM install. This will get you Xposed framework and adblocking installed without any need for you to do the installs yourself. It keeps you out of trouble and best of all the support thread for his ROM is still active.
As for downloading the orginal ROM that's up to you . . doing the full backup in TWRP of your original rooted ROM is usually sufficient.
Keep in mind the methods I'm describing assume that you're not concerned with Knox or warranty status.

Yes because the second one is stock rooted (as the title indicates) and you are already stock rooted.
At this point I hope you are aware that installing the ROM will erase all of your settings and applications, right?
