Urgent Help please! Rooting 7" Tab II - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found my Galaxy Tab II after I lost it for a year. The firmware version is something like 3.3 I believe. I tried following a guide to root it, and downloaded Odin and 'P3100_CWM_RECOVERY-6.0.2.7_SUPERSU-0.99_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar' but Odin says it failed to root my tablet..
Do I need to upgrade my firmware first? Or are the links outdated? I just want to flash a very slim rom so I can play clash of clans without the lagginess of 2 year old hardware.

Go to @Android-Andi's recovery thread and get the latest twrp recovery Odin flashable tar file. Use the PDA option when you flash it in Odin.

Turn the tablet on and go to settings and then about tablet (it could also say about device). It should be in a blank that days something along the lines of model number or model name.

Model number: "SCH-i705"
Android version: 4.1.2
Would the TWRP also work with 4.1.2 or do I need to upgrade to 4.4?

Your tablet is not a P31** so there are no ROMs for it. You won't be able to upgrade to 4.4.*

Why is this? So everyone with my version of the Tab II can't root their devices whatsoever?

@NitroDabs you model of the tab 2 is a carrier version, right?

Well damn.. this POS is so slow and lags so much even with barely any apps on it.. Guess I made a mistake in purchasing, hah.
Thanks for the help!

The P31** and P51** are the ones that have good development. If you are looking for a new tablet, the LG G Pad's are pretty cheap now and have active development. There is also, of course, the nexus 7 and nexus 9

[Q] firmware upgrade

My tab 2 wont upgrade to the latest firmware (which fixes the powering off issue). I have tried both ota and kies. Both will seemingly download the firmware but wont install. Ota gives me a cant upgrade error and kies downloads, decrypts, decompresses and then nothing. Samsung has no clue how to get upgrade installed. How do I fix this problem?

Firmware Update
I have been having the same issue and can tell you that even with a factory reset that it doesn't help either. At this time I don't want to root mine. Any ideas without root?

Guys, flashing stock ROM using Odin does NOT root the device, and does NOT require root to do it.

[Q] How can I flash a different country firmware?

Hello guys!
I like cm roms very much,but I can't flash any cm 11 rom because my phone is from china, Samsung have update your phone to 4.2.2,but not the devices in china. As you know,cm 11 won't work on 4.1.2. I fell very very sad about this:crying:.
I try to flash a different country Firmware(4.2.2) through odin3. but it did't work.I know your phone can do this.....:crying: I just want to know why? Is it because my phone's bootloader is locked?
Many friends of mine are also want to flash cm 11....but we can only use cm10.1......:crying:
Baseband:
I9105pzcami1
Andriod vertion:
4.1.2
PLZZ help me and my friends....
(PS:sorry for my bad English)
Have you tried flash cm 11 directly from 4.1 bootloader??,may it works most dev write on their op to use 4.2 bootloader, but none tried and tell us may it works too with 4.1bootloader
Edit#
Or you mayvtry this cm10.1 build from @LuK1337 which stabler and more fluid, say thanks to him
https://mega.co.nz/#!w4dUCDDD!NhEHBT9Uo8ZPAmkPVNOamzSCmaTf4sqQWzBpnt1K0uI

You should only flash "PDA" and not have the "Re-partition" option ticked. For flashing official firmware, follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428753
Also, flashing Note2 firmware on an S2 Plus is probably not a very good idea.
thanks

oh ,I‘m so sorry,I think my poor English makes you misunderstood,the screenshot isn't of mine...I mean my case is just similar to the picture,I'm sure I flashed a s2vep rom..I tried just flash PDA too...I think it is because my phone's bootloader is locked that what makes the failure..:crying:
I have tried many many methods according to the internet....someone said that I should use mobile odin pro app,but this app won't work in s2vep...I almost feel desperate about this ,I think it's time to buy a new phone...
PS:I can successfully flash an offical 4.1.2 rom...
It's impossible...download 4.2 official stock firmware...use the link given by AmoledIsBetter, follow steps, make sure u use the right firmware for ur phone (P version or no P version), and if something goes wrong come here with screenshots from ODIN. If all its OK u can flash CM11 easy...
Never heard of a locked bootloader on a S2 Plus.
Silly question maybe, but are you using the correct Samsung USB drivers for your PC? Did you flash CM 10.1 from the same PC previously?
Which 4.2.2 file are you trying to flash? I know that many have flashed I9105PXXUBNG1 from Germany.
Is your device genuine Samsung?
I think you are still factory locked. (Still locked to a carrier)
Something I read in a thread in past couple of days is that if it's a Chinese handset they can have their own drivers, so search for them, rest of the world drivers may only part work.

Stock Rom for Galaxy Tab 8.0 T330

Looking for the Stock rom, flashable via odin for my soon to be purchased Galaxy tab 8.0 T330
Looks like there is zippo development for this device..
is it even worth purchasing?
You can root it, just no custom recovery yet. I love the tablet

Yes it is worth purchasing. I haven't even tried rooting this tablet because of the lack of custom ROM development for this tablet but the stock ROM works great on this tablet, in my opinion. Haven't had any major issues with it at all. I upgraded to this from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" WiFi only model and haven't regretted making this purchase at all.
You can go onto sammobile.com to find the stock ROM to download it to your computer and it is flushable via Odin.

That looks like its for a LTE model not the Wifi version
The current rom on my device is T33NUUEU1AND4
That would likely not work, and is not rated for this device..
I don't want to risk flashing a ROM for another device

Actually that is the wifi version. Sammobile typically lists the US wifi version as Cellular South. No idea why.
The NK1 means it is newer than your ND4.

I'm assuming its likely ok to install the Canadian version which is T330NUUEU1ANK1, but I'd rather wait for the official US version.. rather than install another functional yet not US version.. This tablet now has an unoffical TWRP port which works well.. So I have a working Nandroid back up which is based on the original T330NUUEUAND4 Firmware....
I have the sm-T330 NU wifi US model. It came with
the firmware T330NUUEU1AND4. I took the
System OTA update and the firmware was changed
to T330NUUEU1ANK1. Later I was able to root it
and installed TWRP 2.8.2.0.

Only goes up to 4.2.2, existence is pain
Is there anyway to go up to at least 4.3 or 4.4 ?
This is the international S4 forum, so information and support for your S4 will be limited here. Read through the threads in the AT&T S4 forums, which you can access from the thread I linked to. There should be a thread there with the Android version you seek.

If you ever plan on using custom ROMs on it, then don't update.
Updating may make it impossible for you to root or flash anything other than Samsung firmwares on it.
You can try custom ROMs. Pokémon Go works fine on them too.

The offical Samsung Software - where can I obtain

Hi,
I have this 10'' tablet that I haven't used in quite some time. I have previously put cyanogenmod on it and its worked great, but since I am not going to be the end-user of this tablet, I am looking to revert it back to its stock form.
Where can I get the official Samsung software from?
Any thoughts?
