Tab 2 will only boot to CWM

So we were trying to update my friend's Tab 2 to a 4.4.2 ROM. We got CWM 6.0.2.3 installed, and tried a ROM. Well this failed, and appeared to break other stuff as it now boot loops to CWM. Actually I think it's going every other book to CWM. Right now it's saying battery depleated. I've got it plugged intoa charger, hopefully it'll take a charge.
I did later realize we weren't using a new enough version of CWM, but regardless, any ideas how to recover from this? It does not appear to be able to go into download mode. It only goes to CWM. I've tried flashing other ROMs but that doesn't seem to be working either.
So...kinda stuck for the moment.
Thanks!

We have a winner... the next one who didn't pay any attention - i.e. reading the OP post of the ROM thread.
ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.x.y is ONLY for flashing CyanogenMod up to 10.1.3.
For flashing OMNI ROM or CyanogenMod 11 (both Android 4.4.2 at the time of writing) you _NEED_ to use TWRP (recommended for OMNI) or PhilzTouch Advanced Recovery or ClockworkMod Swipe Edition (recommended for CM11). See AndroidAndi's file repository to obtain a copy of the correct recovery for your particular model of the Tab 2.
Next thing to do: Download and install ODIN, install the "Samsung USB Drivers" (Google's your buddy), download the .tar.md5 of the recovery you want to flash (see above and make a choice), put the tablet into download mode, flash the recovery.
If that worked flash the custom ROM of choice (+gapps if CM11, +SuperSU if OMNI) through the custom recovery you just installed and be glad you didn't turn the tablet of your friend into a paperweight.

Speaking of not reading OPs and paying attention...I already said I realized that was the issue, and that I can't seem to get it to go into download mode, so that's likely paperweight land?

If you're down to "can't get it into download mode anymore" (I start to assume the attempt to flash some 4.4.2 ROM through CWM 6.0.x.x may overwrite partitions it's not supposed to overwrite) the only way left to breathe life back into the tablet is to resort to JTAG (UART port connection, CASUAL restoration package, USB Jig to force the tablet into UART mode).
If you search on XDA you will discover tons of threads by AdamOutler dealing with that topic, maybe that's useful to you in any way to figure out if that's an option for you.

Does it stay in CWM once it boots? If so you can copy a TWRP 2.7.0.x zip file to your SD card and install it from there.

I'll keewp looking, but if you have a location I can get a flashable zip that will work for this, that'd be very helpful!

Found a flash, flashed TWRP and got CM11 on it and working.

Stock Android or Custom ROM?

Hey,
Since I saw how Stock Android looks for the first time, I wanted to get my Tablet's UI (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 32GB WiFi) to look as nice as the stock Android one. I have already installed the Google Experience Launcher and it's in my opinion just so much better than the Samsung TouchWiz one. But I'd like to go one step further: installing a Stock Android or Custom ROM. Sadly, I don't have any experience with custom ROMs nor with the custom recovery stuff.
From what I heard, a custom ROM would have more features and would be more customizable than the stock Android, so I would prefer a custom ROM - but which? I don't have any experience with any of them and I don't really know much about the risks as the galaxy tab isn't a device that is officially supported by any of the custom roms. I would like to know what you would recommend to me.

If you look in the development section for your tablet, there are lots of KitKat Roms available. If you want close to stock with not too many additional features, I recommend SlimKat. If you want something with more features and customization, but still has the stock android look and feel, I would go for CyanogenMod11 or OmniRom.

I don't care that much about getting a pure stock Android experience than just about getting rid of TouchWiz. I have looked through the Roms available and from what I read and saw, I liked OmniRom and CM the most. Could you please tell me, what the differences between these are?

I have a 7 inch, not 10 inch but the features should be the same. I am currently running Omni Homemade Unofficial (it has multi window.) CM has its theming engine and omni does not. Omni has multi window, OmniSwitch and other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head. Both have heads up I believe. The features should be listed in the ROM thread. I'd tell ya now, but it's kinda hard to on my phone.

So, just to be sure that I'm going to do everything the right way:
1. Download TWRP from here and flash it to the recorvery
2. Download CyanogenMod from here and flash it using TWRP
Did I get it all right? And I've got some more questions: Where can I get the right version of Odin? Do I have to flash a firmware?

I haven't used odin in a while, but there us a download of Odin at samfirmware.com. Just search for your tab and click any firmware for it. Don't download the firmware, but in the instructions for how to flash there is an Odin download. Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 from the link and flash it in Odin as PDA. That one and 2.7.*.* supports KK, but if you will be using adb in windows while in recovery, you will need 2.6.3.3. Before flashing CM, go into backup and chech every backup option and click start. This may take awhile. Then (assuming you already have CM and Gapps on your tab) go into wipe > advanced wipe and check system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Now you can flash your ROM and gapps. After that flashes click wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

Not cm and gapps installed. Cm and Gapps zip file on your tab to flash. And in case something goes wrong in recovery (wiped internal SD) adb can save you there. There is nothing wrong with twrp 2.6.3.3.

Hey,
I've now flashed the TWRP 2.7.1.1 (the 2.6.3.3 version was not available, at least I wasn't able to find it) with Odin from the link provided for my tab on samsfirmware.

Looks like you have stock recovery going. Try to reroot your system, odin in your TWRP 2.7.1 .tar file and then try again with your .zips. I always put files on external sd and flash from there just in case something is funky internally

Prerequisites: Tablet running stock JB or higher
SuperSU zip file on tablet (this will root your tablet. Download from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu )
Odin 1.87 on computer (the title will say GT-N7000 but this doesn't matter. Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1068597&d=1337343150 and extract to an Odin folder)
Drivers on computer
In Windows you will need to use Odin 1.87. Make sure you run the Odin exe as admin. Use that to flash the TWRP or PhilZ tar.md5 file. @Android-Andi has a recovery thread in the dev section. Download the file from there. Use the PDA option in Odin to flash it. Make sure that the only box checked is PDA. Do not check any other boxes. When it says PASS, flashing is finished. Wait 10 seconds and unplug your tablet. Boot into recovery by holding in power and volume up (volume up on the 10 inch is the volume button farthest from power and is frequently confused for volume down since they are reversed) and flash the SuperSU zip file. You are now rooted. If this doesn't work or Odin doesn't recognize tour tablet, I can give you Linux instructions.

Touchscreen Issues
I have tried to use TWRP as my recovery option but whenever i go into recovery mode the touchscreen ceases to work. and i have to do a hard reboot. On everyday use the screen works flawlessly and the issue only presents itself when using TWRP. My question is if there is anyway to use TWRP with the physical buttons instead of the touch interface.
Any help will be appreciated.

So the latest TWRP works with the official release LRX21O?

Hi, I have this problem.. I flashed the official lollipop image yesterday and after that, TWRP,all using fastboot commands. The fact is that TWRP works the first time after I Install it.. But then it stops working, and instead of booting into recovery, it display the Android symbol with a red exclamation mark over it. Anyone has the same problem?

There are obviously differences between the previews and the final factory imgs but I don't think it depends on the recovery you had/have.

So after using Philz since I got my M8, I decided to switch to TWRP since obviously Philz isn't being developed any longer. I had zero problem flashing this through fastboot and have had no problems with it since doing so. But if I tried to flash it any other way using TWRP managher, or Flashify, or Nandroid Manager, it would work, but then it said it couldn't mount /system and the phone said there was no OS installed. Something wonky with the partition. Flashing back to Philz through fastboot solved this and I could reboot into my phone normally. And then flashing TWRP through fastboot instead worked fine. Weird.

I do not trust apps for flashing a recovery. Period. Any app.
And Flashify, TWRP Manager seem to be especially wonky on the M8....

I strongly recommend installation using the fastboot method, as the apps are reported to work poorly or not at all.

TWRP 2.8.5.0 Won't Boot
I just installed TWRP 2.8.5.0 on my TF700T via the fastboot method (since TWRP Manager fails to install it). However, when I attempt to boot the recovery, the device locks up. This is different behavior than 2.8.4.0, which had a kernel panic and rebooted the device. Any idea how to go about debugging, or should I simply try older recoveries / wait until a newer one comes out?

Naturally, the dd method is the one method I didn't try. So I just did, and it works now. I did have to perform a normal reboot to complete the installation (as opposed to rebooting directly into recovery), but the instructions mentioned that (although they didn't specify that the reboot needed to be a normal one). So all is well now, and I can move on to installing ZOMBi-Pop, my main goal all along.
Makes me wonder why TWRP and fastboot failed, but oh well.

I can believe that for fastboot, but TWRP Manager claimed that the flashing failed. On my OnePlus One, TWRP Manager flashed the recovery just fine. Is the claimed failure just a caveat of flashing on the TF700T, and the new recovery will actually work despite it if you perform a system reboot afterwards? I think I'll try that next when the next version comes out, just to see.

add Flashify to the list. Or make that: apps in general
Fastboot or dd command is the way to go

Never mind, thanks

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img

Can anyone turn this into a zip for me?
TLR - I think if I can get a zip of the latest TWRP I can get myself out of a nasty bootloop
I seem to have gone and bricked my Infinity while under the influence...
Installed new rom.
Decided to factory reset.
During format there was an error, and E: data no longer mountable (didn't realize this at the time)
Bootloop
Read some things online and thought maybe I didn't have the right TWRP
Installed a new recovery that was "compatible" with the rom I was installing
It was Philz cwm (freaked out)
Read a post that said I could force the tablet to re-format the :data partition from TWRP by using the terminal command "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8" BUT can't run a terminal command from cwm

Thanks _that! I actually used a flashable version of your twrp recovery (2.6.3 maybe?) that I found, followed the plan I outlined above, and all is now well.

Where to get TWRP 2.8.6.0 for TF700T
Does anyone know where a TWRP 2.8.6.0 .img for the TF700T can be found? It's not available on the official website (actually, NOTHING for the TF700T is available on the offcial website).
Alternatively, does anyone know where a patched version of 2.8.50 that supports f2fs can be found? Or should I revert to 2.8.4.0?
Eh, maybe I'll just build 2.8.6.0 myself. How hard can it be?

Slightly harder than finding the Kang TWRP 2.8.6 by lj in the dev section I would think....
