Probably one of the noobist questions to start off with but I need the answer or pointed in the right direction if at all possible, many many thanks in advance.
As you can see by the tittle i already have my galaxy tab 2 7.0 rooted (3113) and totally blanked on rooting with cwm. So how can I do it without having to restart the root process all over again?
Again much thanks is given for all help.
I used mobile Odin to flash the cwm zip back. That worked for me.

Mobile Odin will work... However you'll want to run it in odin and flash CWM.
No you don't have to start the root process over again. I am assuming your stock rooted?

Using Odin. Thanks for the hekp! Anyine got some ideas on what the best rom is for the SGT2?

You can go for CM10.1..But I personally like stock..So rooted with unbloated Stock.
I kept reading that stock is best still for maintaining gaming levels (gaming usually pushes a system to its limits more so that anything else). I only just got my sgt2 so im in no rush. Yet

In my opinion since there is ways to load a custom kernel there is no reason to trade...there are lots of people working on unlocking the boot loader and I would like to see it unlocked. But, for now the ways that we are working around this issue are around and a good solution for now

It depends on your definition of downgrade because honestly I'm trying to figure out what makes this phone so popular?
It can't be the design because this is not at all a nice looking phone.. It can't be the ui cause touch wiz looks like a ten year old designed it

There are fully functional jelly bean builds. It's popular because it's a beast, and development is excellent despite the roadblock (which no longer matters).
This is the first time that I own a galaxy s phone and I bought it because of all the hype it gets.. There are like a thousand commercials about this phone
I truly want to know what it is that makes it a beast.. I'm not trying to be a troll or whatever I'm just curious?

Take a look at Nova Launcher.
Ok so I rooted the phone and it did make the phone a bit more interesting
Now to wait for an easier way to install custom recovery and roms
Tapping that from another galaxy
It's super easy to install roms. Go to the market and download ez recovery, go into easy recovery and install cwm 6.0.1.0. That's it's now go find a tin you like boot into recovery and flash the rom. Of course make a backup first and stay away from asop roms imho. To many people had issues. Flash synergy, beans or cleanrom. Those are all safe roms

Installing custom recovery and ROMs doesn't get any easier than it is now. EZ recovery app, as said above, for custom recovery and clockwork recovery for ROMs mods etc.. If you screw up there is always ODIN. As long as you don't brick the bootloader (just don't flash bootloaders) ODIN should fix near anything I believe.
Thanks for the advice guys I really do appreciate it

I have a short time before my dad goes back to florida, I gave him my old captivate that I haven't touched in a year that I setup for him on Straight talk. The fone is not rooted or hacked in anyway. Here's what I need to do before he leaves.
I need to root it for starters
I need to enable wifi hotspot for him
but heres the catch. I need it to stay on a somewhat stock ROM because that's what he's used to and he'll be 1900 miles away and I won't be able to help with his little issues of "how do I do this"
Please Help
This is all stuff I had done before I gave it to him and my brain is completely overloaded trying to read up on the captivate now.
Need more info from u.. What Stock is the phone runnin, etc.
I recommend Stock GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4. And u can use Odin to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A that has CWM Recovery that u can get Root through. Then just use Titanium Backup to remove or freeze all of the bloatware. Should be good after that.
Would have posted sooner but work is my day job...and xda i do for fun when able :thumbup:

I haven't looked much into the captivate roms in close to a year. I have just a matter of a couple days to get this done. My dad is 78 years old and to a small extent technologically handicapped. He does well enough to browse the web, check emails and send texts, so if there was a bug or an issue (which most custom rom's carry) that popped up while he was away this winter I wouldn't be close to reflash or help him walk through it. I have been reading and I am going to try the first suggestion. Although wouldn't I just be able to remove all bloatware and the tethermanager.apk with root explorer. I need this to be as problem free for him as possible. I did have him install FoxFI to use which seems to be OK but I never trusted any of those type apps. I would much rather him use the native tethering (better encryption from what I see) Which he really only wants it to do emails and a few other miniscule task over the web.
Glad u still got some time to work with this for your dad.
And yep...Root Explorer will do the trick as well.

Flashed JB back to ICS but want Root
Been combing thru the developer section for hours. Of course, you have to almost go back to September for ICS related stuff. But, only saw the rom, recovery & root rom for JB. Where is the one for ICS? Even some of the custom tweaked roms for ICS now have dead links. I have root explorer and want to take some of the crap off and add some stuff.
I didn't like JB because of the GUI the notification bar was awkward and not sized right. Didn't like the screenshot softkey being gone either. The youtube buffering and connectivity was a turn off too plus the battery drain. I got 8 hrs on JB and 13 hrs on ICS. I would love to root and or put on a custom rom, any suggestions?
so i'm gonna be getting this tab in a couple weeks, and i have never had a multi version tab before (wifi onlyversion, and different carrier versions).
i found this thread, and i'm glad i did. my first question about this tab, is development related. i want to know how the community is, and how active it is. i quickly looked through the dev section and it seemed pretty positive, but it was just a quick look, so not a very accurate perception.
secondly, my question is on different twiz versions, are all stock images rootable in the same way? or are some versions more difficult to root? and i don't care about flash counters as the device is a glorified secondhand device.
and finally, just wondering how others like this tab, i don't want to start a war, or anything. just wondering about the device, because i'm new to samsung tabs.
besides that, i'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

Galaxy tab 2 p3110 3G + WIFI has two problems after rooting.
I recently got a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3100 and rooted it with cwm and everything was ok. Next day, i decided to upgrade os to Jelly Bean but i copied the file to internal sd card instead of the external one, In order to correct this, i removed the ext sd card while the pad was still connected to the laptop and copied the files through the card reader of the laptop, put back the card in the tab before disconnecting. Now I completed the upgrading process, but instead of the jelly bean, i got the ICS. In download mode the laptop recognised the tab and I've flashed with odin two more time.I've rebooted in recovery mode twice without luck.
These are the problems:
PROBLEM 1. back and since then my laptop can't see the tab, I've done kies, reloaded usb drivers etc, no luck.
PROBLEM 2. In-coming calls are blocked but I can call out.
PLease help.

Are you sure you're on a "rooted" ROM? Sounds to me like you have root and unroot confused. Did you buy the Tab new? Is it how it came from the store? If so you are not rooted. Rooting is what one does in order to be able to flash custom ROMs.
I recommend you plan on spending a few weeks just reading about all of this and taking notes (really, cutting and pasting into a document on your pc, that's what I do) before you do anything. That's what I'm doing because doing all of this on the Tab is so much different than doing it on my phone, I really have a lot to learn about Odin, flash counters, Triangle Away, etc....

I just acquired a Samsung Infuse so am entirely new to this phone, have rooted it so far via SuperOneClick, but am not having issues determining the best method of acquiring CWM so as to flash some new ROMS.
there are a number of threads i found through searching the forums but all of them seem to be quite old (2011). one of them i tried and it did not work, i got an e-signature failed error of some kind and couldn't find any solid information about how to get around that.
for someone who is brand new to this phone and disgruntled with the performance of 2.3.3, what would be the best method to utilize to get CWM to get a good ROM on this thing?
Thanks in advance

You guys are lifesavers. Is there a ROM any of you would recommend to load straight on the phone easily now that I have rooted GB 2.3.6 with the red CWM??
Looking forward to not having to deal with the brutal battery life and laggy response of 2.3.3! :laugh:
Yeah u can flash all the ROM over 2.3.6 thru CWM, But just keep in mind if u want JB then u have to flash ICS first the JB.
There are many many good GB roms with good battery life i will not name them just flash and see which suits u the most.

from CM9 i attempted to flash SlimBean and then got stuck in a boot loop. from there, i made the terrible mistake of panicking and trying to flash back to CM9, which seemed like it worked until i got stuck in a boot loop again. i panicked further and tried to flash all the way back to stock GB 2.3.6 which just messed everything up and i bricked it. could not get into download mode, nothing. i realize how stupid all of my mistakes were but thats what learning is about LOL.
finally today i uninstalled all versions of KIES, reinstalled latest version of java, used a different (non-front panel) usb port, with a brand new usb cable (one of my quality ones from a branded charger vs. the cheap one i was using previously). finally got ODIN to recognize my phone and flashed tue UCLB3 Unbrick w/ Root and it worked like a charm.
so i'm going to start again and try to work my way more carefully up to the top haha. thanks again for all the help guys, really appreciate the great infuse community here :good:
