[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 ROM Flashing Help - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been having significant trouble flashing multiple different ROMs on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3113). What happens is every time I boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik and then proceed to flash the ROM from external storage. However, every time I try to flash a new ROM the installation is aborted. Iv tried multiple different 4.4 ROMs and a couple 4.3 ROMs with no success.
I am currently running full stock rooted (w/ CF-auto root) 4.2.2 with CWM recovery. I checked every download with its MD5 and they all matched so im fairly positive that it is not a bad download. Im not sure to what could possibly be causing the installation to be aborted, I am very familiar with Odin and flashing on Samsung devices but this issue has me stumped.
Could the CWM recovery version be causing this? Or is there a different method of flashing on the Tab 2 in comparison to other Samsung devices?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

[Q] Flashing CM10 Issue

Hi people I'm hoping someone can help I'm wanting to upgrade from my stock ICS to JB in hope of making use of the lower audio latency in CM10 (JB). But its all gone terribly wrong...
I must of done something stupid because I keep getting stuck at "Installing update" in CWM 5.5.0.4. I've tried many different CWM versions too.
First I did a factory reset, then wipe cache etc.
Is there any way to flash CM10 using Odin?
What else could I try? I can still flash any recoveries via Odin, and I can boot into CWM no problem.
I used this guide and revived my tablet:

[Q] CM 10.1 Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010

Well I'm stuck! I have tried CWM recovery then TWRP, I have tried flashing CM10.1 (cm-10.1-20130113-NIGHTLY-n8013.zip) on my N8010 with no luck. I keep getting an error.
I think I have followed all the directions, but maybe I'm missing something? I downloaded GooManager and got it running and downloaded CM10.1 (N8013) and tried flashing with the same results.
My thinking is N8013 really compatible with N8010?
I currently am running N8010XXBLK9 JB-4.1.1 rooted - of course
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to match OS on both devices. :-{

With TWRP after wiping data & cache and Dalvik cache I flashed it and received an error of
"E: Unable to open Zip file"
"E: Error flashing zip '/external_sdcard/goomanager/cm-10.1-20130113-NIGHTLY-n8013.zip"
I did however, try downloading this file twice. Once on my computer and transferred it to the tablet to flash with Odin mobile and again through GooManager.

Thanks for your reply

[Q] help needed in installing roms.

Hi guys I ve been a htc desire hd user and I have been installing roms on it . Now I got my galaxy tab 2 10.1 on jellybean 4.1.1. It was brand new and I rooted it by flashing some zip through odin and installed philz recovery ( didnt do anything with bootloader since I followed a guide). I then started to download and install roms. Cyanogemod jellybean rom installed fine on it but other then that rom I tried putting infected, cyanogen mod android 4.3 rom and two other roms. I made sure I did data wipe, cacha wipe e.t.c, downloaded right roms and other things. Still these roms dont load. When I start my device its just stuck on samsung tab 2 10.1 logo forever, except for the cyanogemmod jellybean rom. I dont think theres a problem with recovery since it install the rom fine and other thn that it developed by cwm.From my experience I think there must be a problem in flashing/loading of boot image but I am still not sure. Remember I didnt do anythimg with bootloader, dont know whether it locked or unlocked but why arent other roms installing on my tab except cyanogenmod 4.1 rom. Even ics roms dont install. while I have seen people comments that they get to install roms successfully and have exactly my model of tab.
My model is gt p5113 and running stock 4.1.1 for now. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Only things i can think of are that you change recovery or just try to download all stuff for roms again and again. Maybe there is something broken in your device.

Yes, Normally Installing new ROM does not wipe your music and gallery if they are stored on your external SD card.

I agree that you might need to change your recovery. I use TWRP.

Can you enter "DOWNLOAD" mode?
first, please provide your steps from rooting to flashing rom.
and also provide any kind of information of recoveries, roms, gapps, kernels, etc you're using.
so anyone can help you better..

Thats needed in most cases right.
BUT
Simple solution is just reflash stock. The error message means he has stock recovery installed.
Just need to know if you can enter "DOWNLOAD" mode

i'm just misdoubt that he flash something incorrectly you know
because he said that he can get to the recovery, but seems that he doesn't know what means recovery is
so before i say futher the solutions or what might causing the problems, it's better to know what he's knows first. because if i explain something that he doesn't know, things will be more complicated heheh :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
like my words haha :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Actaully tried to upgrade to android kitkat 4.4 from 4.2.2
but error generated and even coundt restore the backup.
now the stage is, the screen never goes off until battery runs out.
the screen appears with android logo
"Android system recovery <3e>"
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I tried all options, but didn't work.
even the tablet is not being connected with laptop.
so only option is, if reflash stock done from SDMemory card ?
kindly guide me the suitable steps.
You can't just flash kitkat roms directly from stock recovery,, you need a custom recovery to do that,,, here is the work around :
1 first reflash stock rom again
2 secondly flash a custom recovery from odin ,,, use luigi way of one step recovery and root
3 after that when you are able to boot into custom recovery,make sure you have cwm recovery >6.0.4.5 installed otherwise you will not be able to flash kitkat roms. For the record, you can flash phillz recovery 6.19.6 from custom recovery.
When you are done,please come here again

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..
