Hi All,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 P3100,recently I rooted it and flashed Ubuntu,it was successful but I was unhappy with what Ubuntu offers me right now.
Now,I want to switch back to the backup which I created when I was on stock.
Will this work
Factory reset --> Wipe Dalvik Cache --> Wipe Everything --> Restore to Stock ROM (Backup)
Everywhere I see here,they mention downloading the stock rom and then installing it with odin. Is it needed?Can't we just restore to a backup with wiping everything?
Please advise!!
Thanks in advance!!

Cool,Thanks for the reply.Today I couldn't wait for too long and I installed it through Odin.Next time When I install a custom ROM I would restore with a previous backup rather than downloading a ROM and installing it with Odin.

Hi,
I am unable to Install any custom roms in Samsung galaxy Tab 2( Gt-P3110 ). When ever a custom Rom is placed, It either gets stuck in the Samsung logo, or just shows a 'Blank' Screen and hangs on that screen. After this i have to reflash the stock firmware to get the tab up again... (i do perform the wipe data/cache..then wipe cache. then wipe dalvik cache in this order before flashing the ROM)
The details of the tab are:
Model- GT-P3110 ( Galaxy tab 2 , wifi only )
android version-4.1.2
Build number-JZO54K.P3110DCMA4
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery ( Based on CWM Base version: v6.0.4.5 )
Rooted: Yes
Even the backups made are not complete, restoring a backup restores the tab to factory reset.
(it does say failed to find partition /recovery and /data for a very short time before starting the backup).
I am using a windows 7 system for this.
Thanks for the help...
Regards

what costum rom did you tried to install?
============
ROOT and update recovery:
HERE is the fastest way to root
reboot to recovery, and flash latest recovery again from HERE
reboot and go to recovery again.
Flashing roms:
Do a back up of important data/rom, place it inside your pc
Inside recovery:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data media sdcard
Install rom
Install gapps
make sure your rom and gapps zip is in extsdcard, or else it will removed
be carefull not to format /extsdcard
above process will surely give positive results if done preciesely

For some reason this tab only works with Phils recovery.. for the rest. it just refuses to work.,! but the problem was that i could not get into the external memory card.. anyways.. after following the 'data wipe' instructructions.. i sideloaded cm-11-20140304-NIGHTLY-p3110.zip with its gapps..
both got installed succesfully.. However,, at first the tab went into a boot loop.. so i got into recovery again and cleared the data and cache partitions.. now.. i got stuck at a 'Blank' screen after the samsung logo.. ( its still blank after 10 mins)..

did it still blank? carefully not to flash with the charger on.
some people got bricked and to resolve that you must wait until the battery drops out and charge it again.
maybe you should clear your mind first, don't be in rush. i feel your frustating man :laugh:
if you do not add anything more in the process, i suppose with any recoveries you will succeed.
and also, it's a normal to take 10-15 min on the first boot

Maybe your EFS broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system.... you can try all roms, no rom will boot and you'll only see the samsung bootlogo...
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.
also seems that it happens here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657774

Hi,
This is my first post on XDA, so please forgive if i miss some of the things !! So i will start with the issue i am facing. I was running Prism Barebone v14.6 on my S4 i9500, i was trying to install the Xposed Framewrok for Lollipop but somehow i missed the part where it said that "Xposed it not yet working for Samsung TW roms and you will end up in bootloop if you flash it".
So as expected i ended up in bootloop, so i tried to restore my Nandroid backup from Philz recovery. Everything went just fine in the recovery but i was again stuck in bootloop and my phone was not proceeding from Samsung logo loading screen. So i flashed the PB rom again and restored my apps and data with Titanium Backup.
Since then i am having strange issue that for some reason i am not able to restore my Nand backups even after creating the fresh nandroid backups. I was creating the Nandroid backup using "Online nandroid backup" tool; so i thought maybe the issue could be with this app(though it worked just fine on my previous rom Omega v27).
So finally i thought of creating the Nandroid backup from PhilZ recovery and the weird thing was nandroid backup creation failed at "/system" saying "Error backing up /system".
So please guys help me understand what exactly went wrong and how can i fix this. I am facing this issue from last 2 days and i have tried everything which could think of, so i need help from you Android Gurus out here !!!
Thanks in advance !!

Have you tried TWRP ? PhilZ development has been stopped, so you should think about switching someday.
I would do it like this:
-Make a nadroid backup with your custom recovery
-Perform a full wipe
-Flash latest stock firmware via ODIN
-Let the system boot up
-Flash custom recovery and check if the error persists
tried TWRP as well however i was still getting the same issue(boot up process getting stuck at samsung logo screen). Will flashing the Stock Firmware reset the recovery also to Stock recovery ?
Can anyone please reply !!

Yup, stock firmware will restore everything. Flash it as i linked it earlier. Once done, perform a factory reset in stock recovery before you boot up android.

Did you wipe first?
Wiped before restore yes.
I also made a backup of 5.1. I can restore to that but not 4.4

Might me a problem with the updated drivers, when I decided to downgrade to KitKat from lollipop the phone had low response due to the kernel can't support the updated drivers .no problem with lollipop or any other custom ROMs. I had to flash a custom kernel made for my phone to fix it.
