Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1
GT-P5100
Running ICS 4.0.3
I wish to root my galaxy tab 2, but I'm missing the download menu when i go into the recovery mode. It says 'android security 3e'. Every tutorial that I''ve read and watched is allways doing them through download menu in rec. mode. I can't seem to find a fix for it either.
So, is there any other way to root my galaxy tab2? Or somehow install the download menu into recovery mode?

Recovery and Download Mode are separate. You do not get into Download Mode by booting into Recovery.
Power off your tab. Hold volume down and power button to boot into download mode.

Yes, but in the videos which show how to root, they go into download mode by pressing power + vol. up button. The thing is that i don't see a download menu option, it takes me straight to the other menu, where you choose the update and reboot etc. options. I need a way to get the download menu or a other way, like using cynogen mod or something similar.
So It's not recovery mode. Thank you.

Sorry if I'm asking for help and your reply left me confused. I don't know nothing about the recovery and download mode, they seemed the same and i can only access recovery. So, do i have download Seth to get the download menu?
Just hold power button and volume down .that's it

CF-AutoRoot.
If you can't make that work, then you really shouldn't be trying to root your tablet.
Edit: unless it's a SCH-i915 (Verizon Galaxy Tab 2). As far as I know, nobody has a root method yet. Which Tab 2 are you trying to root?
Here is a good how to video.

Don't know, but see no reason why not. Same hardware except for the cell radio. I think when I installed ROM Manager, I selected the Samsung GalaxyS2 as the "phone" manager for CWM recovery (4.0.1.5). I've had no problems with it yet.

This isn't working for me. When I press power and volume down buttons I get a screen that says:
Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in tablet and installed applications. If you want to download a custon OS, press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel
If I continue to hold down the volume down key as the instructions to root says to do then nothing happens, the tablet does not go into recovery. If I let go of the button then re-press it the tablet just restarts.
My model number ias P6210 by the way if that matters.
Edit:
The way to get into recovery is to hold down the power and volume up buttons (not the volume down button as in the OP's instructions). I was able to get into recovery and install the root.zip file from the sdcard and then installed superuser and busybox from the market and I'm rooted. Confirmed using root explorer.
does this method work on the t-mobile SGH-T869 model? I cant get into recovery mode when pressing volume down+power button.

hi
if i root with this method, and then hard reset my device then will i have to root it again or it will remain rooted after hard reset.
is there any method of unrooting?
explain me some details of the risk involved in rooting, i have purchased the phone last week and dont want to loose it so early. can i brick my phone while rooting?
is it possible to fix the bricked phone?
thank you in advance, and sorry to ask too many questions, but i am new to android.
i have flashed many symbian phones with CFW but in symbian i can always restore original FW if the CFW didnt work or something went wrong. I am learning android please help me...
If you follow any instruction to the letter, there won't be a chance of bricking
You can unroot any time by flashin a stock ROM.

You need to press the home key LIGHTLY. Pressing too hard will press the adjacent key/s. I had the same issue, but once I learnt to press the home key lightly it works consistently all the time.
off topic: do you guys have problem when holding the touch on this device?(like when you have to change a icon position on the launcher)
@abbas
You said in your first post "I modified this update.zip file for Galaxy y pro ...". Could you please give me a link or post the original update zip for the Galaxy y pro (not your modified one for the duos), please?
thanks in advance
thanx a ton Abbas, tried all possible methods till i read ur advise and it worked in one strike, appreciate it.
Thank you once again.
For the benefit of other members who are trying a factory reset if you have forgotten the password, once you get into the recevoery mode you will be prompted for a password again. Do not worry, enter incorrect password 3-4 times before you get a warning for a factory reset by the system, click on yes and you are back to your new phone (of course if you do not have your data backed up, it will be lost) Also, please ensure to remove your sd card before the factory reset to avoid loss of data.
Hope this helps all.

Enable advanced reboot from developer options, then reboot into download mode from power button as normal. Or just reboot into download mode using ADB

hello,
To get "dowload mode" press "power button"+"volume button down"
For ADB from your computer type
adb reboot download
Of course you should have adb SDK tools on your computer first and have Samsung drivers installed if Kies is not installed.
For advanced reboot options, it is based on what ROM you are running .. Generally, go to settings=>developer options=>enable advanced reboot
You should get the option to reboot to download mode when you press the power button=>reboot

Look it's pretty simple
Power button plus volume up (volume button closest to power button) takes you to recovery
Power button plus volume down (volume button furthest from power button) takes you to download mode
FYI, folks with a 10", your volume buttons are the reverse of the 7" volume buttons.

You're getting that because you didn't clear data and the permissions are wrong. Get into recovery, wipe data, flash again with odin.
To get into recovery:
Press volume up + power together until phone vibrates. Release the power button while continuing to hold the volume up until recovery comes up.
Edit-----
I had that happen with the Kies update. I fixed it by reflashing. I also suggest you get a USB jig for easy download mode.
Okay, I've got this Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that's been updated with the OTA 4.2.2 update that will not turn off. I want to sell it but I don't want the new owner bugging me about it not being able to turn off. So I decided to root it and put Cyanogen Mod on it but I can't get it into download mode to flash it. I can only get it into ADB sideload from the stock recovery. Also, I can't even find the option to put it in USB debugging mode.
So my question is what's the best way to root and add CWM to this device while it's like this? I would download ROM Manager from the Playstore to start the process but I'm afraid it will brick the device. When I tried to flash the CWM zip to root it from the stock recovery I get an error saying it was unsigned or something to that affect. I've rooted many devices but this one is driving me nuts! What a screwed up update.

Are you able to reboot your tab when pressing power for some time?
Are you holding the right buttons to enter into download mode? (Holding Power + Volume-UP)
In order to enable debugging on the Tab 2, you must go to Settings>>About Tablet. Keep tapping on "Build number" then eventually the Developer Options tab will display on the left. Tap on Developer Options and you will see on the right where you can enable USB debugging mode.

Yes, it will reboot but it wont stay off. When I try to get it into dowload mode it will just quickly say "no command" and go to the the menu. Seems Im stuck on this version forever.

I have a p5113 and to get into recovery is Power + Vol down. Download mode is Power + Vol up. If you are able to get into recovery I know something that may work for you. This will install Philz Touch Recovery. I use it and it works well. Download the .zip file pertaining to your device (p5113).
- Download Philz Touch Recovery (.zip): http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16057#files
- Download SuperSU (.zip): http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
Copy the .zip files to your device's microSD card and flash philz touch from Recovery Mode. Reboot back into Recovery Mode and flash the SuperSU .zip file. This should root your device.
Yea bro but he is also unable to boot into recovery dont know what problem is this. But I m sure it is boot loader problem.

I was finally able to fix the problem with not being able to shut down. I finally got the device into download mode after several tries. Once I saw that I quickly opened up ODIN and flashed clockwork mod recovery. After flashing that it shut down properly afterwards. I have shut it down 5 times in a row now and it shuts down and stay shut down every time. Im totally satisfied with that! Thanx for all you guys help.
I got it into download mode by plugging in, and shutting it down until I got to the battery charging icon (will only shut down plugged in after 2 or 3 attempts). After about 30 seconds hold down the power button and the volume down button simultaneously until the warning screen comes up. The tap volume up (button closest to the power button).
