[GT P5100]How to upgrade - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I own a GT P5100 running 4.0.3 android.
I had rooted it with the help of a thread on this forum.
Now, when I connect to Wifi, the Tab downloads JB update...but it is unable to install that update.
Can u tell me the reason?
Also, is there any newer update [official or unofficial] than JB?
How can I upgrade to it?
I'm fairly new to this rooting/flashing etc.
Thanks for ur help

temember that JB is 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 recently an update show up (in france) the 4.2.2 JB, this is (and will be) the last update for the tab,
im not an expert but maybe you can't update because the root, if you want to update you may unroot or use ODIN (but will not be root after the update, unless you port the root with an app)

thx for ur reply...
So whr can I find the latest update?
And how to go about UNRooting -> Updating -> ROOTing ?

As fabrihn said earlier 4.2.2 is the last update for galaxy tab 2 from samsung , but you can always flash custom roms like cyanogenmod to get the newest android versions (p.s. cyanogenmod 10.2 gives you the andoid 4.3 version ).
And to port root the best app is MOBILE ODIN PRO !!! It is actually a mobile version of the odin software and with it you can directly flash files from your mobile .It gives the option to root your new firmware while it is being flashed.

thanks kunjcool :good:
techack did you read the last link i let you? in there there is also a way to root after upgrade even over 4.2.2, and as kunjcool say there are also custom rooms that you can flash, in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1602 (android development section)

Thanks for your reply.
I have installed Cyanogen Mod 10.1 ... android 4.2.2
however when I connect my tab to PC, it doesnt get displayed as "Removable Storage"
Is it due to installing ADB Universal driver?
How can I correct it?
Also, when I POWER ON the device, the screen displays distorted colours and then starts up with CYANOGEN Logo...Is it possible to correct it as well?

That is happening because you haven't enabled USB DEBUGGING on your device. To do so you have to Go to developer settings, but by default it is hidden, to use DEVELOPER SETTINGS
Go to SETTINGS
ABOUT TABLET
and click BUILT NUMBER 7 times to unhide DEVELOPER SETTINGS option. Now you are done
And yes for the boot screen logo either use custom boot screen logo zip file and replace with original or try reading the forum post of that ROM which you are using and ask there.
Hope that was helpful to you.

Hi,
Once you upgrade the firmware from the above link, you will be able to get access to remove the pre installed application and also access to SU.
I think you would need to remove all the old driver and install the drivers from the above link.

Help : bricked
hey rajuu
I installed cwm recovery from the link you had posted , i rebooted via cwm , but then it has resulted in a boot loop , any help is appriciated .
I am unable to boot into recovery , nor is adb working. The guys at auxus support claim that the only way to get into recovery is from android os itself .
Thanks

Hi Navin,
I am afraid there is no other way apart from re installing the base rom through live suit. I do face same issues when ever i try a new rom but if your switch off the tablet and connect it after 10-15 sec using the volume + and the power button the system will recognize the tablet and you will be able to install the base rom which is provided in the first post.
Thanks , i will try this , i am not sure if it will work , since only charging through usb seemed to work before .

Can you indicate where can we get this live suite?
Hey guys I am new here...and kinda pretty late too..idk if anyone will see this..but i m here because I tried to find custom rom for this recently and there were roms under the impression of allwinner A10 device (due to the cpu chip). Is there any developer out there who can make a stable rom for this device?. I know it's too much to ask as the kernel and stuff would be old..but please if you could it would be of a really big help as the custom roms made in 2012 here on XDA and other links..have almost no links working...some things are explained in detailed ..Please it would be a really great help if someone out here makes a rom for it which takes it out of ice cream sandwich version. I'll be really grateful if someone can help.

[Q] How can I update my android version? Ace -S5830

Hello guys
First of all I want to mention that i'm not a phone or software expert, I may have really STUPID questions but i'm trying to find help.
I have a nice little ace phone and i'm having a lot of issues with my phonememory.. I had to delete more and more apps now I still have two..
and there are still issues with that memory
- I would like to know how I can update my android version? I know there is no official update available for my phone..
- Is it safe to update my version? What are the risks?
- Where can I get the update? 4.0 .. 4.1
I hope somebody can inform me? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you for your help!
The first step you need to take is figuring out how to get root access on your phone. After that, look for the updated android version for your phone.
I would start out by reading through this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
