Hello guys,
I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and wanted to mess around with it and root it. I thought I did everything correctly - it won't let me post the site I used .
However, now I am in a pickle. Whenever I start my SGT, it gets to the Samsung loading screen, does the intro tune, and then just starts all over again. I tried doing a hard reset and I tried wiping all of the cache/saved files/etc. but nothing seems to work. I am at a loss as to what I can do. Has anyone seen this before or is there a way around it? Is there anything I can do?
Much Appreciated,
Sam

What os did you flash? Can you boot to recovery and flash something more stable like CM9 with odin?

I am not entirely too sure, to be honest - I wish it would be let me post the site I used haha.
I used the below ClockworkMod Recovery:
imnuts’ CWM Recovery image
I downloaded the developer nycbjr’s rooting package - cwm-root-gtab2.zip
Does that answer your question?
Kinda. Did you just want root or a custom firmware as well? I am am running the CM9 and I'm very pleased with it. :good: Not as flashy as the stock but it is a performer.

Honestly, I am not even 100% sure why I did it. I was browsing the Android Market and got some apps I liked. The issue arose when I tried using them it requested that I have root powers - I wasn't really trying to modify the os or anything like but was just looking to get root powers. If I hook up my phone to my laptop and put it into Recovery Mode and run Odin, can I PDA the CM9? Do you think that would help? Is there anyway to reset it through Odin? When I do a hard reset, literally nothing changes.
Please post the link to the root method you used. I have a hunch you tried to flash a zip for the gtab 10.1.

It won't let me post the site I used so I am going to break it up into a few strings.

I meant the root guide you used.

Yea, I can't post links in the forum yet, so... . The link above(broken up one), the android authority one, is where I found the root guide.
Can you access CWM recovery? BTW, you can post links if you uncheck "automatically parse links". Also, you don't have to email me, PM me, AND post here-- one of those will suffice.

I can access CWM recovery. However, none of the options in there seem to really do anything.
Edit: Yea, my apologies on that. I was trying to e-mail you the link and I didn't get a sent confirmation and it said I had nothing in my sent messages so I tried PMing you and the same thing happened. I'll stick to the forums so everyone can see this as it may help people, I just didn't know there was a way around the link . My bad.
It's fine. Back to work, what you call a soft bricked tab is what I call an opportunity to flash a new ROM. I'm a tab 10.1 guy so I can't recommend a specific ROM. But I've heard good things about Tab2Lite and CM9.
Sounds exactly like this problem.

Won't boot. Bootloader or kernel problem?

I'm glad to hear there is a chance my birthday day present won't become a paper weight. I am still a little new to this stuff so I wanna make sure I am on the same page as you. The ROM that I used was cwm-root-gtab2, correct? I had to download a bunch of files and I am trying to make sense out of what is what. Now, when you said I need to get a new ROM, would that consist of me putting a new ROM on the external SD and then running that?

Could one of you clear one thing up for me. I am going to try and use Odin again but with a different espresso file as I think that was the problem. I am just unsure which espresso file to use, how do I tell which one I need.

Hey guys, I want to thank both of you for your help! I was able to reset my tab and it now works. It looks like I used the wrong espresso file . If possible, I would still love for an explanation of my above question - just so I know for the future. But other than that, thank you for both!

Basically if your tab is on the latest firmware image, you need the latest espresso file. I'm guessing that you were on 4.0.4 and the espresso file you first flashed was for 4.0.3. That happened to myself and a few other people as it's not really clear what you need in those guides!

I decided to set my GT N8013 as root but I used wrong files (for N8000 only) and put it in by accidentally. Is there any way can I get it remove? Like start over?

Just to clarify, you tried to root your n8013 but used odin to flash the files for n8000? Does your device work currently? I am sorry just trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

Yes, I tired to root my n8013, somehow I oversight files which is for n8000. My device is work well expect it running like 3G. I am trying to get it back to run like N8013.
Hope this is helping?
I have the same problem! I cannot update via OTA because CWM recovery keeps popping up and interrupting it (even though I flashed UEALGB stock recovery using Odin
Well if you can't get it to completely get rid of CWM then i would try and odin complely back to stock, you can get the firmware from samsung-updates.com i actually had to do this as well. The file is around a GB but it should clear up any issues that you are having. PM me if you need more specifics.
Looking to root and install a custom rom/kernel. I have came across many different ways of rooting and flashing roms, and I was looking for the least dangerous way to root and flash ClockWorkMod and CM10.1. I also was looking for a way to flash back to a "stock version" that is compatible with my warranty, because I don't want the $50 that I spent on the "2-year extended warranty" to be a waste. I have only ever rooted one device before(Boost Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Prevail), I have CWM and CM7 on it. I also read that the IR functionality of the P3113 is not working on CM10.1, is that the only feature that isn't working? I un-installed Kies from my Win7 PC because it wouldn't connect with my P3113 and i kept getting "Hardware ID Missing" errors. When I un-installed Kies it also un-installed my USB drivers. I re-installed them and now the P3113 shows up as a "portable media device" in Windows Explorer. Is that connection sufficient enough for Odin to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :good:

Download the stock firmware from samfirmware.com and install it with ODIN prior to returning it.

I don't run CWM, but I think the IR is the only missing feature. Not much of a loss.

That's what you'll see from a normal boot. You'll have to boot into download mode for ODIN to work. There's no reason the drivers with Kies wouldn't work, however. Note that there's a checkbox when you uninstall Kies to leave the drivers installed. That's what you should have done.

The OP in that rootzwiki thread doesn't mention the "out of the box" UECLK7 Version that my tab had when purchased. I like the way it was written, easy to understand. Anything out there for my version?

Hi friends,
I installed CM10.2 on my galaxy S2 using CM installer and now I want to return back to the original rom from samsung. can you please tell me how to do it.. I read about using some software called odin but my device is not connecting to it. I do not know what the problem is. Can I simply download the samsung rom and install it using recovery option?
Guys... can anyone help me with this...?
your phone needs to be in recovery mode before you can use odin.
see guide(s) in the respective threads

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum but not to Android. I'm familiar with Samsung devices coming from a S3 mini. So I was wanting to root my Galaxy tab 2 7" (GT-P3110) but don't have access to a computer currently. So I got to digging and found a Chinese app called "Root Master" which worked for the device. I was on stock and it was successful. After doing so I flashed CM12.1 and gapps to then find I lost my custom recovery and root. I tried rooting it again with the application but with no success. Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.

Oh boy... Does Cm 12 boot? If so, go into developer settings and set root access to 'Apps & ADB' and turn off 'Update CM Recovery when ROM updates'.

Yeah, everything runs completely fine. I just lost root and recovery. I'll give it a go. Thanks.

So is everything working for you now? You can get recovery again by flashing the latest TWRP from @Android-Andi's recovery thread through Odin or Heimdall.
Have a great day!
Yeah, everything is fine and TWRP was still installed so need to do anything else.
