Hello,
I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100 (3g version), but my carrier installed its own ROM, removed the Phone app and unrooted the device,
Now I want to install back the stock ROM, but I will need to root it first right? but the guides showing how to root are doing it only with stock ROM, so I am afraid to try and root the device on my carrier's non-stock ROM. Is there a guide to root a non-stock device? or it's the same method as rooting stock device?
Is there a link to a guide on how to return to the stock ROM from unrooted non-stock ROM?
Thanks
Any idea? will the method for rooting stock Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3g be the same as rooting non-stock unrooted Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3g?
what custom rom are you using?
If your wireless carrier installed their own ROM because you have a data package then that is your official ROM...
do you have jelly bean installed?
Look into cf-autoroot for rooting your tablet, once its rooted you can easily revert back to any/stock ROM you want
Also there many stock ROMs that come pre rooted so that may be something you may want to look into...
We need more info though, what custom ROM do you have? What exact model galaxy tab do you have? How did you install this custom ROM? What version android are you running? Have you ever used Odin/kies?
That info would help us and you greatly...

I have 4.0.4 Android version, I did not install this custom ROM, it came preinstalled by carrier, it is not rooted (checked with "Root Checker"),I have used Kies but not Odin but I can learn I guess if there are instructions.
Your method (cf autoroot) and this one I found:

say that it is going to work on stock ROM, but I do not have stock ROM, I have my carrier's ROM, that's why I am afraid to use it, but maybe you know whether I can use any of these method with my ROM?
okay...
Here is what I recommend...
First you are using ice cream sand which, the new android official going around Samsung is jelly bean android 4.1
You have to ask yourself do you want to upgrade?
If you do want to upgrade to JB dont root your tablet as you will not be able to officially update to JB.
If you want to see if an update is available look in your notifications or go into settings -> about tablet -> and hit software update
I think that is how I am using a custom ROM
If you have an update firmware to download I would do it...
Then root your tablet.
If you upgrade to android 4.1 then use the cf-autoroot exploit
If you want to root your tablet as is with android 4.0.4 then follow this link...

If that link list your model then you are all good since you do have an official ROM just a different model tablet
Oh...if you root your tablet with android 4.0.4 you can still upgrade to android jelly bean but you will have to use a custom ROM you will not be able to install an official firmware update.
So good luck...and look on YouTube for help on rooting your tablet there are some really great videos out there.
There is no jelly bean update available for my galaxy tab 2 , I think my carrier blocked the update.
the tutorial you gave me on how to root the tab is for 4.0.3 and my is 4.0.4. Also, all of these guides say that it's working on stock ROM, do you think it still going to work on my carrier's non-stock rom (if I will find a guide that can root 4.0.4 and not just 4.0.3)?

if you werent aware that you cant flash international ROMS on your verizon S3, you need to do more research.
It would be wise to use ROMs based on your phone AND carrier. If you did some research you would know that there is a difference in hardware between the international and US versions of the phones.
Your phone will literary turn into a paper weight if you flash wrong files

Thanks to vincom for that excellent post!
All the roms for the Skyrocket or listed there and most important it tells you how to do it. Read it, reread it and read it again.
Go with Sultanxda's unofficial CM11.
Hey guys so I have just rooted my phone right before the android 5.0 release and since I can't get an official update I was wondering if there were any good android lollipop touchwiz Roms you would recommend. And will a Rom for another carrier such as telus or bell work on my Fido s4?
