I've read instruction's from the web on rooting my Samsung Galaxy Tap 2.
First, the instructions mention to allow USB debugging but I find no setting for this in my apps menu.
I was also instructed to put the device in download mode but the device got stuck at Downloading.... for around 15 minutes until I restarted by holding the volume up and power.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Usb debugging is in developer option- toggle the switch on.Scroll down. You will see usb debugging.
And how you try to root the phone? Using odin? Hit a thanks if I helped you!

I failed to install the Samsung drivers.
The device is rooted now.
Now what?
Where do I find tools for the rooted device?
Where do I get custom roms?
You getting usb device not recognized error?You using desktop or laptop? And please mention the os. Try reconnecting the usb to other ports.windows 7 installs drivers automatically. I am not sure about mac. If its desktop try connecting to back usb ports. Try changing usb cables. There are lots of issues with usb cables and smartphones.no one knows what it is..

If you want cm11. You can download it from www.get.cm from your phone and follow the imstructions..
Its the easiest way for rooting and installing custom roms. It automatically detects device, roots, install recovery and roms.. Most of them are stable too..

I wasn't getting an error.
In Odin I clicked PDM and selected the auto root file.
When I would click Start nothing happened.
Finally, after installing the correct drivers for my device it worked fine.
I'm using Windows 8.1. on a desktop.
The device isn't a phone, it's a tablet.
Just not sure what tools will be helpful.
Also need to know haw to flash a combatable rom.
Ok.Cyanogen mod supports p3100. Hope yours is the same. Go to www.get.cm from your tablet. And download the apk file or switch into usb debugging. After that go to www.get.cm from your computer. Download the cm installer for pc. Open it. It will take a few minutes to setup upgrading and other process. When it asks to connect your tab or phone. Make sure you have a back up of all.Connect it in usb debugging mode. It will detect your device and download latest recovery, rom and system apps. After downloading everything.it asks for install. It automatically loads downloding mode. You don't even have to press volume, power and all stuffs. Actually just connect your tab and relax.:beer::beer: That's all....

Or you could manually choose a rom. Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/7-inch-development and choose one you want. Before that. You need to flash recovery if you are doing it manually. To flash recovery download rom manager from play store. It gets you the latest recovery. You can also make a backup of your current rom using that tool.

So in the process of upgrading from CM7 to CM9, I somehow soft bricked my Infuse 4G. Now all it will do is reboot into blue CWM (version 5.0.2.7) continuously. My computer won't read it in download mode even after installing Kies, and a few sets of drivers (not all at the same time). It says error 43, and won't connect so I can't use odin or heimdall. Where do I need to go from here?
Edit: Update- got it into red CWM, then it rebooted and now I can neither connect it to a computer, or get any CWM options. It will boot into download mode, but my PC won't recognize it still. Safe to say I'm past the point of repair?
use odin 1.8 and flash UCKD5, then flash cm9

don't worry, it's far from brick.
It's still saveable...although which program have you been trying with download mode...I suggest heindal as it doesn't require any drivers from kies or Samsung...it downloads and installs custom driver for the phone the first time you run it...
So if you've had no luck with Odin try heimdal...if you had no luck with heimdal try Odin...but on a dif USB port...once heimdal is used Odin can't be used on that USB port...
You also may wanna try a dif USB cable...it could be your cable is semi broken and no longer works wig data transfer...mine was like this and would only charge and woulv no longer transfer data...so I used ny dads which worked...

My problem is that I can't get my computer to see the phone. It just boots to the Samsung screen and hangs there, even if I try to reboot to recovery again. Download mode works, but my laptop tells me there's a problem with the device.

Heimdall doesn't see the phone either. I'll try to find a USB when I go in to work tomorrow, because based on what I've been trying that's a definite possiblity.
I was in your exact situation. Here is how I resolved it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696716. The heimdall one-click unbrick was able to write to the when nothing else could.
Hope this helps...

Yeah you have to go wayyyyy back to stock and then upgrade. Any of the one click restores will work. No way to save your old rom, but you can definitely get out of it...
Try a different usb i been through the same thing...a samsung usb to be specific

I think I've managed to brick my phone past the point of revival. It's a Samsung Galaxy 551, Power button doesn't turn it on, however Windows recognizes it when it gets pluged in. When I run the adb devices command, it returns a list with nothing in it, however under device manager, it is recognized as a samsung usb device. Can this be fixed?
EDIT: Got into download mode but Odin doesn't recognize phone
Got it to boot into Download mode! Odin however doesnt recognize the phone
Try reinstalling drivers.

I did that, as well as switching out the cord. No luck.
Try different odin version, computer, or send it out. Honestly it only sounds like a soft brick

I'm not sure if it's possible to do on your phone, but on mine, when I installed a costume kernel, I got the same issue that you're having...
All I did was to download a stock ROM, with connected the phone in flash mode (volume down + connect to computer) and with flashtool, flashed the rom, and all came back to normal...
But I have a Sony Xperia S...
Look it up on YouTube.. Or try here in FaQ to check the brick section

Install Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit on your PC and use the Install Drivers button to configure your drivers.

If ur rooted! Install multirom and install any secondary ROM.. And then connect to ur PC with secondary ROM running.. It will detect and after that.. Remove ur secondary ROM and then connect normally as u would do. Surely it will work(Worked for me)

Hi guys .
i flashed "by mistake " the wrong cwm recovery by ( Rsher ) . after the device is restarted the screen just stopped on welcome screen .
now i have no access to recovery mode .
so i tried the other choice which was the download mode .
and here is my problem my pc doesnt recognize my android phone , when i connect the phone the pc displays these words
"usb is not recognized . the last device you connected to computer malfunctioned and windows does not recognized it "
also odin does not recognize it .
now i have no access neither to recovery mod nor to download mode and the device still freezing on welcome screen . so my device practically is DEAD!!
PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME :
**KEEP IN MIND THE DEVICE " BEFORE THIS " WAS RECOGNIZED WHEN IT IS TURNED ON
** KEEP IN MIND OTHER PHONES LIKE GALAXY DOUS OR GALAXY BEAM IS WORKING ON THE SAME PC AND RECOGNIZED ON ODIN
** my phone is galaxy s II Plus working on android 4.2.2
**my pc is HP working on windows 10
**i have the latest Samsung kies and the latest drivers
** what i have tried
*update the driver on my pc
*uninstall and reinstall the driver
*using different usb cables
*uninstall the drivers and restarting pc
*updating other generic usb hub
*changing values in the registry
*I have tried all versions of odin
*pull the battery and entering download mode several times
PLEAAAAAAASE HELP :crying::crying::crying:
Try installing the google USB drivers.They are normally installed with the android SDK. Maybe they can help you detect the phone or you can try to manually update the driver.

as i mentioned above sir , the phone is recognized when it is ON but the problem occurs when i go to download mode . i think it is not concerned with the drivers
Have a look at this soft-brick help guide. If your phone is not even able to enter the Recovery Mode, you may have a case of NAND rw corruption and recovery may not even be possible (you may have to look at hard unbrick scenarios).
Having said that, these are a few things I might have still tried if I were you:
1. If you have access to a Linux PC or a bootable Ubuntu drive, start it and see whether it recognizes your phone using the lsusb command. It will help you to rule out any driver issues.
2. Try to drain the battery (by keeping a long time in that welcome screen) and then do a fresh recharge and then try again.

Hello everyone,
My name is Max, and i have a problem with a tabelt: note 10.1 GT-N8010.
I wanted to fix this tablet because its not booting anymore, its stuck at the logo. things that i tryed.:
1. i tryed to fix it with odin to install a stock rom< odin is finding my tabelt and its installing everything just fine but its still stuck at the boot logo. even after 30min
2. i tryed to unlock USB debugging but that fail. because ADB is not regonizing my tablet, even with the USB drivers installed.
3. i tryed to use the programm called SkipSoft ToolKit, but this tool kit is also using ADB. and like i sad ADB is not finding my tabelt.
Anyone who could help me with this problem, i have been searching XDA formus and google for 1 day now and didnt find any thing that helped me.
Thx for reading,
Regard Max

this didnt help me at all, becuase i already searched the XDA forum and google.
i think i need to enable USB debugging with my pc. but that's not working
Stock rom via odin does not need usb debug.
Suggest a service center repair if you have read all the no boot threads.
