I literally just bought my tab 2 yesterday so when I plugged it into my laptop, kies informed me of an available update.....I was able to update to 4.1.2 but after a couple of minutes, I noticed that my tablet kept on freezing...restarting was useless because I keep getting stuck on the Samsung logo...I tried doing a reset on the recovery mode,...it worked for a while but the problem resurfaced....I figured that its a software problem so I decided to root and install cyanogen 10.1...this solved my problem fortunately..,..its ironic that the official update broke my device and it needed a ROM to fix the issue..

To update from kies, do i need to be unrooted (running stock rooted)... If so, how do you unroot GT 3113??

Nope, you don't have to do anything. Just connect your tab via usb cable and run Kies. If a FW update is available you will be notified as soon as the Kies start...

bro no matter rooted or unrooted when connected to kies it will show update if available.and disconnection problem is with most of tab 2 user.so there are two ways wait for fota or go to service center and get tab updated.
I've tried to update my rooted P3113 from wifi download, not by KIES.
No success! It must be because of the CWM recovery installed, since the tab automatically boots to recovery after downloading updates from samsung. I think the samsung official update scenario stucks at this point (because there is no standart android recovery after CWM installed).
When i'm trying to update rooted P3113 from KIES - no success too, because of "disconnection" problem.
So, we waiting for the stock 4.0.4 rom file for CWM recovery.
Root or unrooted doesn't matter. My tablet is stock and never rooted and Kies was still messing up. Luckily I finally got the OTA this morning.
When I checked for update from my device. It says no update is available. How to get the update?

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that was rooted and the other day when I turned it on it started updating my tablet. However, the update failed. Probably because I was rooted. So I unrooted the tablet and every time I check for updates it says there are NO updates. I installed Kies on Windows and (after connecting to it with the GTab2 7) it shows me that there IS an update for it. However, every time I click on update it disconnects after a few seconds and and goes back to the initial screen saying there is an update.
So, I can't install it via Kies. And now I when I check for updates it says there are NO updates. Am I totally screwed OR what.
When the update failed, I think when it rebooted to install it THAT it came up to CWM and that is why it failed BUT now CWM is gone and I am definitely NOT rooted with stock ROM on the machine.
However, I see in the settings under STATUS that is shows "modified" instead of "normal".
Is there any way to reset the status? Or is it necessary?

You don't need to unroot, just flash 4.0.4 firmware with odin as i described in this topic
Download firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3113
You will have unrooted stock firmware after flash complete. And after that you install cwm and root just as you did with 4.0.3
One way is to just flash it in Odin.
I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295
This seems to be a pretty foolproof "restock" method.
The only UNROOT method that worked for me!

The only METHOD that UNROOTED my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 was the instructions at this web site :
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3113-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96474/
It's a 2 step process. I tried several other places that had similar instructions BUT this one worked. You have to download several files and the recovery rom file has 2 different versions and you choose the one that is appropriate for your situation. I was NOT sure which was appropriate so I tried both and it finally worked.
And it DOES unroot it.
And later that night JUST after midnight I was AGAIN notified on my GT2 7 that I had an update. This time it downloaded the 200+ mb file and rebooted and came up and installed it perfectly!
And every thing is working well now and I am on 4.04. It is SO much smoother than 4.03. A real keeper until Jelly Bean comes available.

Ha ha well I should have read this thread before I did a factory reset and installed kies on like 5 computers. Come on samsung.

Hi
I have bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" to my wife for 2 months ago.
But The problem is, that it hangs alot and it freezes, i have tried to "factory reset" it and send it to "repair" but when finally i got it back from repair i was told, that they couldn't find any problem, and they are not responsible for the 3part apps.
And now i still got those problem?
The Tablet is not rooted its still like when i bought it.
Please help!
To those who suffer under same problems.
Solution found read below:
Is to delete cache evry 3-4 days depending on how much you use it.

Have you tried flashing another copy of the stock rom and factory resetting after flashing it? Are you on the latest update (4.0.4 I believe) Lasly, if those don't work, you may want to flash Cyanogenmod 9.1 or Cyanogenmod 10 Jelly Bean (which is fast beyond belief)
Thanks, but have found the solution.
I can't root the tablet because it's not mine..
The solution is in post 2

Hi,
I have Samsung Tab 2 7" P3100
Originally had 4.0.4 which worked great.
But got OTA update n upgraded to 4.1.1
& Now it started giving me trouble, Wifi Connection is very unstable.
Connected to Wifi Network keeps popping up every 5 mins.
I cant even install things properly without worrying of it will fail or success.
so i rooted the device and reset the whole thing (Rooted to make a Titatnium Backup n all)
Problem still persists, Still the Wifi Trouble.
Without a Proper Wifi its not even worth having a Tablet.
So my Question is: Can i Push a 4.1.1 ROM from Sammobile on my current 4.1.1 ??
or should i just downgrade it to 4.0.4 & than do a upgrade via Kies rather than OTA update.
( I am thinking something in OTA messed up, so a proper ROM from sammobile might help)

Yes, you can trying to download them from sammobile.com and start to installing from odin. Make sure you have backup for your ICS 4.0.4 before replace with JB 4.1.1
Good luck..
rom
what is the best rom?
around 1 or 2 years ago i bought my samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch (p3100). it came with 4.0.4. it worked perfectly for all this time. a few months ago i installed final fantasy 4 after years. i got a cracked apk. after that my tablet started restarting by itself. i am using it and suddenly it restarts. i did factory reset. it didnt help. i then did another factory reset and i didnt put final fantasy 4. it still didn't help
i then put 4.2.2 then tried to root it. the rooting failed and boot sector got damaged. a shop fixed the boot sector, put 4.2.2 and rooted. unfortunately it didn't solve problem as it still hangs and restarts
i installed clockwork recovery and did complete wipe. i removed android from it. i want to flash a new rom
which one shall i get? i need it in english, to be stable and not hang and it should support my belkin bluetooth keyboard
there is raspisimon.no-ip.org/roms.php] . it shows some roms. i found out there is omnirom, pac rom, paranoid android, slimroms and aokp. which one do i choose?
the most important thing is i want it to stop hanging and restarting. why is it doing that? if that problem still happens after i put new rom i will "retire" my phone and buy galaxy tab 3
I had this happen to my 10.1" and thought it was a goner. I had to run an ADB script from recovery to actually reformat (not just wipe) the system and data partitions, but this is some next level stuff that if screwed up can truly brick your device...
Try Googling it because I don't feel comfortable sharing the info where people might mess it up and blame me.

Hi all. I know there are quite a few posts with people having a similar problem to this, however none of the solutions mentioned have worked for me. Recently, I updated my phone to JB using Odin 1.85 (I8160XXNF1). All was working fine, and when i recieved a notification saying there was an update available, I updated to a new version, which was also JB 4.1.2 but it changed to I8160XXMG2. Everything still worked fine at this point, though there was still an update available. So, once again, I decided to update it although this time the phone never fully booted, it gets stuck on the boot screen every time (the one saying 'SAMSUNG galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160' not the animation). I couldn't boot into recovery, only into download mode so I flashed the previous JB (I8160XXNF1) which worked, however this has not resolved the problem and the phone is still stuck on the same screen.
Okay, thanks for reading this, please help if you have any ideas on how to resolve this issue.
