I am looking for some help regarding my Tab 2 10.1.
My tab was rooted and then flashed with Cyanogenmod 9.1.
Also ClockworkMod recovery 6.0.2.7 was installed.
What I want to know is how do I restore it to its stock firmware and have it as if it was new, root free with no evidence of custom firmware i.e reset flash counter
All help welcome!
I was in the same exact situation, i am now back to official stock rom with no signs of mods. Here's what i did. This works on all galaxy tab 2 devices by the way.
-First download stock official 4.1.1 p5110 rom and flash it with odin.
-Start up your tab to see if it's back to stock rom.
-Next you have to root it with CF-autoroot and flash it with odin.
-You should now have stock official rom with stock recovery and a rooted device.
-Now download Triangle Away app for free over at the XDA forums (google it) or support the DEV by purchasing it on Google Play.
-While using triangle away, reset the flash counter, the app would then close after it's done. Make sure that triangle away did the job by opening the app and viewing the status Official with 0 flash counts.
-Now open SuperSU and go to settings and select full unroot, your device would then be unrooted.
-Lastly, put the tab to stock recovery mode and factory reset the tab.
You should now be good to go as if you have never modded the tab, to confirm, go to settings<status and check what it says on the status. If it says official than you are done.
NOTE: Be aware that Triangle away is said to hard brick your device if mishandled, according to the DEV. However i have never bricked my device over the dozens of times i have used this nor have i seen anyone brick because of this. For more information view the XDA Triangle away post.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have another question.

If you have a stock ROM, it will run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which will re-install the stock recovery. If you're rooted, that's the easiest way to get the stock recovery back (chmod 544 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then /system/etc/install-recovery.sh)

The firmware should come with Stock Recovery. If ODIN do not flash it with Firmware then you try to flash the Stock Recovery only..If still not done then use Odin mobile ver and try.

I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 [GT-P3113]
I just flashed cwm recovery on it and rooted it, I've just wanted to try and uninstall clockworkmod and go back to stock recovery, I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything for my tab model.
I'm running android 4.0.4, didn't flash any ROMs yet.

Thanks, I have some questions because I coudln't post a reply to that post.
-I live in egypt and I bought my tab from the US, this rom is for the US so should I flash it normally? (will I get the OTA updates)?
-should I backup my data and so? (sorry it's my first device)
You should get ota's as its 100% stock. As far as flashing it no need to backup anything. You won't have root or cwr to use your backup. Flash via Odin and you should be good to go.

*I done that for my Galaxy Ace, I believe should be the same.
reverting back to Stock from CWM all you need is Odin and stock firmware which able to obtain from sammobile.
flash is with stock ROM via Odin will bring everything back to stock. *after flash, make sure swipe your data & cache OTHERWISE it will stuck and become boot-loop.

I did flash the stock ROM and recovery via odin, and it worked perfectly, thanks for the info thought because once I forgot to wipe data and it was stuck on boot-loop till I reached recovery mode.
I meant isn't there a normal way to go back to android recovery without flashing new ROM?
Can't really have stock recovery AND root... seeing as you install root via CWM
Besides you can do way more with CWM over stock.

p3100
he any one knows the link for uninstalling cmw in p3100
and also the unroot package
Create a new thread,don't post on an old one.
If you are rooted with custom recovery you can flash only the stock recovery using mobile odin.

getting back to original recovery from twrp recovery
i have karbonn smart tab 10 (cosmic) .i have installed twrp recovery on my tab. but i cant find any zip files when i go into recovery and twrp is not working properly.i cant even root my tab. i want to go back to original recovery.please help.
Do you have a P5100 , P5110 or P5113 ? It don´t sounds like!
If not - don´t use this files! This might brick your device!
If you don´t have a P51XX you need to find a Stock-Recovery or Custom-Recovery for your Device.
If you have P51XX download and flash a StockRom - or extract the recover.img inside the XXX_HOME.tar.md5 and make it Odin-Flashable using this tool and flash it with Odin.

please find your correct thread.
i recently rooted my device (gt n8000) using root inject method with a 1gb download by max on this forum.
i installed the european version and from that tutorial i learnt i only got root not clockworkmod recovery.
i want to install the updated unofficial jelly bean 4.2.1 as seen from this link
alaxy-note101-n8000-android421-jellybean-cyanogenmod101-official-417872.htm
but i will need to have cwm recovery to do that.
my question is do i unroot and reroot using cwm method or can i install cwm recovery directly without unrooting? if yes please how and where can i download it. Thanks
Root has nothing to do with CWM, CWM is a custom recovery which will replace the stock recovery.
Just download the latest version and install it using ODIN. Remember one thing uncheck autoreboot when you are flashing CWM and then before you start the note in normal mode boot into cwm by pressing power+volumeup button.
Once you do that copy the zip file on your sd card.
Also remember you will need to do a complete wipe and hence will lose all data so make sure you do a nandroid back or a titanium backup
what am trying to say is how do i install clockworkmod recovery on my rooted note 10.1.
You need to download ODIN
Install all the drivers on your pc (if you have kies installed it must have done it)
Download latest CWM image file
Start ODIN on you pc
Boot into download mode by pressing Power+volumedown key and when u see the warning sign press volume + key
Connect you Tablet with Pc using the usb cable
load the img file by clicking on PDA, make sure you uncheck autoreboot, and all other options around it then click on Start it will flash cwm
once you do that it boot into recovery mode
The other way is to download rom manager or install it from google play but it is a paid app
Remember though that the flash counter will increase so you will need to run triangleaway app after to reset counter.
I tend to find though that triangleaway works but when the tab resets, using the JB rom, the flash counter goes up to 1 again...
MobileODIN will also flash a recovery perfectly well... and it WON'T trip the flash counter.

Since i actually rooted using a rooted injected ics firmware....When i update to jellybean via OTA will the root be gone?
i actually prefer the root injected method

It goes up to one again because you are using custom recovery if you used cf root method you will get the original recovery back and the counter will not rise to one again

Hi
I've searched restoring the stock recovery menu but I have some questions.
I know you can flash a stock recovery after, saying, you flash a CWM recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831173
This guy uploaded a stock recovery but it says N8000, and I have the N8010. Will it matter?
Another question: when you download a stock firmware from, say, sammobile.com, does it include the recovery?
Thanks
Stock recovery is part of the firmware .

If you want to be sure to have a stock rom, go into apps, supersu and unroot before flashing...
Mind you, once you flash a stock rom it should restore the recovery and get rid of root access...
Hi.
I rooted my Note 8010 using Zedomax' method. All has been fine. My note has now downaloded the JB OTA update, but it fails to install.
I assume I need to restore 'stock' recovery to install the OTA update? But where can I get this from.
Also will installing the OTA remove root? And will Zedomax' method still work to re-root after applying the update.
Regards
Installing the OTA should not remove root but if it does just use the exynos abuse patch app to root that is the simplest and safest method.
Thanks Samir_a
Do I actually need to restore stock recovery? If so, where can I get that?

Ok I ran the CF auto root to restore stock recovery.
But now I have downloaded the ota update 3 times, and on clicking install it fails immediately.
Previously it rebooted into CWM recovery.
Any ideas what's wrong now? I'm guessing I can download a full update and flash it another away, but I assume that will erase all settings.
Try to flash via odin or if u r rooted use mobile odin . Im now on jb 4.1.2 i flashed my note via mobile odin in 5 min
Thanks mexman_2010.
However if I use odin that will trash my settings won't it?
Is there no way of getting the ota update to work?
You dont need to retore stock recovery or fiddle with odin. Just use kies on your computer and it installs the update for you. All your data should still be intact after the process but it is recommended to backup first
Keep in mind that updating using kies removes root
The ota's are using the patch method;
effectively what they do is work out the difference between the new binaries and old binaries and just send a patch that changes the old into the new.. this is done to keep the ota as small as possible I presume.
so if the binary isn't identical to what was shipped with the rom its trying to update then it will have to fail, otherwise you'd end up with an almighty great mess of non booting or corrupted devices.
if they used the file method (complete apks etc like an cwm style zip) then it shouldn't matter, but as it is, the only way to ensure a patch will work is to make sure the files are identical to what the patch was generated against, root allows you to change system files, so root is the primary way of checking if the system has been altered.
ergo if you want otas then you're most likely going to have to run them from a stock rom.
Thanks for all the info guys.
Bizarrely though, having left the Note overnight. It downloaded the OTA update itself and this time when I clicked install it worked perfectly, so
all is well again.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Please every one. I need help with my n8000. Currently i am on stock ics rooted with zedomax cwm installed. Is it safe for me to install OTA update or can i just switch back to my stock recovery by flashing it through odin? I have downloaded the stock recovery so im waiting for your replies

Why don't you just install the latest version from sammobile with Odin or Mobile Odin instead of using the complicate way?
Can i revert to stock recovery by flashing through odin and still keep root?
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Yes you can do that, install stock recovery using ODIN, you will need to use triangleaway to reset your binary count though.
Also make sure the stock recovery is for your devic
Quick question. I got my verizon GS3 yesterday, and after rooting it on 4.1.1 I downloaded ota rootkeeper, backed up root, upgraded with the ota using TWRP, and restored root. Root is working fine on 4.1.2 but i got a message that said update failed. It has all the right info in about phone, the only issue i see is that I'm back on stick recovery. How is the best way to get custom recovery back? Do i need to do the full bootchain flash sequence in Odin, flash just recovery in Odin, or can i use rom manager to install recovery? Thanks!
Why can't u just download it again from the play store? If u initially had it all your info should still be on your phone; j7st need to reinstall recovery. I have to do this with CWM & TiBu every time I flash a new ROM.
In short just reinstall recovery. Hope this helps.
