[Q] Philz touch and custom binary counter help - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok first off i searched alot f anyone had the same issue but cant find one maybe im just lucky, i have a samsung galaxy tab 2 GT-P5113 with 4.2.2 official rom, i want to root this tablet so i followed instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 i passed step one,two and three but step four is where its getting tricky when i try to get the philz touch recovery its doesnt show up it shows the normal stock recovery, so i thought i did something wrong so i did the odin thing again gave me the green light but the custom recovery is not showing up and now my binary counter is on 2. my question is how do i reset the counter if i have to and how to get philz touch recovery going.
my noob troubleshootingskills
were to factory reset the tablet - did nothing
to use the "update from sdcard" option and try to install the philz touch tar and zip one at a time ofcoure - did not work
side note i saw it was only talking about 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 but when i searched the thread it stated 4.2.2 would work so itried it
i would appreciate it if someone would help me ive only rooted two phones ever which were the htc sensation 4g and nexus 5 so im still a bit new to this
Thank You in Advance

You can use this guide to install a custom recovery (CWM, you can flash PhilZ touch later). After that you can use TriangleAway to reset the binary counter.

Hi all,

My question is probably simple to some..
basically i have had a galaxy tab 2 7" GT-P3110 for some time now and i rooted it awhile ago with out any problems..
now after awhile i have now decided i want to update the tablet.. to the latest firmware. now we all know that we cant do this simple because it says device status custom or modified..
so i have tried many things now and the devise is reset but still on custom..
can anyone please tell me the way to basically reset this so i can update it?
i have unrooted it via supersu and reset it via factory reset..
i have tried to update via kies but no joy..
i have downloaded odin but have not got a clue where to get a official firmware.. and not sure if im doing it the right way or heading the right way.. can anyone help ?
regards mogs..

Follow these steps :
1) First download Samsung firmware from GT-P3110 Firmware
2) Download the P3110 firmware based on your region or from any region but you need to wipe/cache reset in case you are going to flash from the region you are not residing.
3) Extract the firmware using winrar,winzip or 7zip,you will get a files with tar.md5 extension..
4) Open odin,please see only these options are checked. Auto-reboot and F.Reset Time,,plese uncheck all other options.
5) click on PDA and select the firmware you have got after extraction
6) Now click on start.
7) you should get a message in the left bottom panel saying "Successful".
8) your tablet will restart.
9) switch it off by pressing Power off button
10) Now immediately press Power button+volume up button for few seconds until you see samsung boot logo and leave power button but keep on pressing volume up button until you see android logo i.e recovery mode.
11) Wipe factory reset from menu and restart.
Enjoy Buddy.

Boot into the Stock Recovery, and Factory reset. I would also suggest fully Rooting, and installing a Custom Recovery if you are going to be modding your device. It will greatly simplify things for you. It will also give you the safety of having a Nandroid Backup in case things go wrong.

The first thing you should do is try a different USB Cable, and USB Port. You can also check out the thread HERE. There is another HERE, and THIS one. One major thing to keep in mind always. Is to read, read, and read some more before doing anything.

Download stock firmware from SamMobile.com. Connect your phone in download mode to the computer and use ODIN to flash the firmware as "AP".
Anyone else has any idea ? When i flash it with cwm or what is it called it says it was reset in Odin but phone is still stuck in Samsung note II logo.

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
I'm not saying that this is your issue but it sounds like you messed up the device partition table by flashing a ROM from a different model.
You may be able to flash your stock firmware with the addition of using a PIT file for your specific device model number/firmware By using Hiemdall in Linux/Ubuntu.
To assist you with finding what you need, try posting your question in the forum linked below.
