Can't flash any ROM! - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have tried different recoveries and ROMS and they all fail telling me that I have the wrong ROM for the device. CM11 (P51xx) and the Omni ROM are just 2 that I have tried. I have the WiFi (5113) and have managed to get the MK3 (4.2.2 build) back via Odin and rooted but that's as far as I can get. Any ideas?

Have you tried to flash a custom ROM with CWM with different versions?

Yup

Make sure you are using the correct recovery for your device.
To flash KitKat Roms you need at least CWM 6.0.4.4 or newer, same for CWM based recoverys.
Latest PhilZ Touch will work too to flash KitKat too.
Else try TWRP 2.6.3.4.
Some recoverys in my thread, link in my signature.
CWM Swipe will get an update later or tomorrow to 6.0.4.7 Swipe

[Q] Hydro Rom and CWM

Good Morning,
After searching all of 100 pages in the post for the Hydro rom I have a question that I didnt find in the thread.Im on latest JB/OTA update for my TF300t and I have flashed the CWM recovery after unlocking my bootloader.Now,I want to install the latest Hydro rom but the developer is suggesting the latest TWRP for the rom.
My question is,will i be able to flash the rom using CWM or do I have to use twrp?If so will i end up with a brick if i side load twrp along cwm?
The only place i didnt check is the youtube video instructions since im on a restricted network...
Anyone?
Im really itchy to flash the new rom I just need to know if i can flash both cwm and twrp or if it is safe with cwm already installed to flash twrp on top of it.

It is an either or situation. There is one recovery partition and you can have stock, cwm, or twrp. You can't have more than recovery installed at a time.
There are a lot of issues being reported with cwm recently. Since the op says twrp I used twrp. It may or may not work with cwm.
Be aware that a backup made with cwm probably won't restore with twrp or the other way around.
Good Luck!

Can't flash anuthing through CWM

Hi guys
I flashed my CWM 6.0.3.5 through terminal emulator .. but i tried to flash two different ROMs and i tried to flash another CWM but it failed all
now i have to flash CWM trough Odin ... can i flash a new CWM trough odin directly ? or i have to flash a stock recovery using odin before flashing CWM ? and if i have to flash stock recovery could you give me a link for download it ? I searched but no result
thanks guys
BTW speedmod ROM is the best ever thing could happen to ACE plus !!
Try ROM Manager app from play store and flash the appropriate cwm version. And I believe you can flash without going back to stock
You can also switch to twrp...
Please hit thanks if I helped you anyway
use cwm 5.5.0.4 or twrp 2.5
when i tried to install CWM through ROM manager a pop-up window appear saying that GT-S7500 does not have an officially CWM supported yet :/
.. my device was not listed above :/
And can I flash twrp without going back to stock recovery ??

E: Error in /storage/sdcard0/cm-7.2.0-p500.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted

To flash that KitKat, you had to place a newer CWM or TWRP recovery version.
To flash cm-7.2, you need to go back to the older recovery!
For KitKat ROMs a recovery equivalent to 6.0.4.5 or newer is required to flash. The newer recoveries are capable of flashing CM 10.2 to CM11. All older Android versions will require the use of an older recovery, pre 6.0.4.5, such as CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch by vivekkalady.

They should work, but even if they don't, you can always switch recoveries anytime, regardless of what ROM you're on.

I thought you could only change recovery on stock [emoji53]. anyways will have to try that later on.

Use the latest espresso-common twrp by Andi.
Also keep in mind that you should never flash your device with incompatible recoveries or roms because it could get bricked. Don't flash stuff for a p5100 to your p5110; they are different devices.
Thank you... I changed the twrp and it worked like a charm..
