Single step for Custom-Recovery and root!
Based off single step root made by @ketut.kumajaya and @Luigi2012SM64DS for P31XX - Thanks for the permissions to use yours as base
This Method should work on Android 4.0.x Android 4.1.x and Android 4.2.2.
Disclaimer:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]I don´t have a P51XX - i couldn´t test - but this worked great on P3110 :)
Using this root increases your flash counter.
Use on your own risk! I am not responsible for bricked devices or dead SD cards!
Thanks [user=487416]@MJRL[/user] for confirm working on P5110XXDMI1[/B][/COLOR]
Please give some feedback if it worked
Single step for Custom-Recovery and root!
Philz Touch Recovery or CWM
SuperSU v1.94 from Chainfire, SuperSU: "su" in "adb shell" without any prompt!
BusyBox v1.21.1-stericson
Remove all existing root and busybox before installing the new one
Fix busybox symlink, prevent it conflict to Android toolbox
sysrw and sysro script for remounting /system read write or read only
Backup /etc/install-recovery.sh script to /etc/install-recovery.sh.backup and /system/recovery-from-boot.p patch to /system/recovery-from-boot.p.backup if exists, so we can restore it if necessary
Flashing using Odin3 v1.87:
Download "GT-P51XX_XXXX-SuperSU-1.94-BusyBox-1.21.1_universal.tar.zip" and extract it once (you need the *.tar.md5 inside)
Flash the *.tar.md5 file as PDA
Make sure "Re-Partition" and "F. Reset Time" UNCHECKED,
"Auto Reboot" checked!

Updating?
i update the one with PhilZ in the evening after work
Updated Root with PhilZ Touch:
Philz Touch Recovery 6.00.8
i have a p5113 its the same as wifi but with ir capabilities will this work and which one should i try?
you can use P5110 files.... with CWM and PhilZ Touch tested a lot of times for P31XX without problems, not tryed with TWRP but i am sure it works (there are a lot of downloads, but jo feedback).
thnx and i know i prob shouldnt be asking this here but can i put on p5100 p5110 roms because of availability?
edit: nvm i figured it out i can use a play store app for ir
P5100 = P5100 (will work on P511X too, but Phone Stuff included, maybe mic not working)
P5110 can be used on P5110 and P511X - if you use on P5100 3G and other Phone Stuff missing (maybe mic not working on P5100)

worked great installed cm 11 and so far so good. my device says not charging even though it charged slow but it did that on stock tw rom too is it because of the charger im using?
@androidandi....GT-P5110 Twrp. Flashed. Confirmed. VERY NICE!!!
Works with new android 4.2.2 ?
LE:
"This Method should work on Android 4.0.x Android 4.1.x and Android 4.2.2."
Nice, tks a lot!
Confirmed: Works with new android 4.2.2
Hi
Updated my 5110 from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 trough KIES without any wipe. Everything went great and my tablet worked with all apps still installed.
But I was unable to boot into download mode to install the .tar.md5 file. Every time I tried I got a android figure laying on his back. He has a red box with an exclamation point in it
The solution proved to be to adb into download and then connect to Odin.
Then there was no problem to root and install custom recovery with Android-Andi’s file :good:
ODIN FAIL with TWRP file on p5100?
Hello all-
I am pretty sure I have a p5100 (Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 ESPRESSO10, Wifi & LTE data). I was in Download mode and tried flashing the TWRP all in one file. It recognized device without issue but once it started to do it's thing, it failed. I attached a screenshot of ODIN.
Also, on the device download screen, it displayed the message "Unsupport dev_type" ??
Please advise!!
Read my next post!
@DroidJay123
LTE?
IT IS NOT A P5100! You´ll brick your device if you try to flash P51XX files!
Boot your device and take a look what device you own!
P5100 = Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3G+Wifi
P5110 = Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi Only
P5113 = Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wifi + IR
What device do you own
- SGH-i497 (ATT)
- SGH-T779 (T-Mobile)

thank u for making this rom for SM-P901
i already download and install this rom
the issue is same, the wifi, mine is a bit funny
after install, wifi works and all, but after a restart, it forgot the wifi password
so i have to type again the wifi password (same wifi as before)
i try wipe and install several times, its still the same problem
and also the aroma installer, it didnt install after the browser selection
i pick chrome, it didnt install
and everything after that selection, like ad free, adobe, etc also didnt install
but that part i can install myself, no problem
only the wifi which i find it annoying to always type the same password after restart
thank u so much for making this rom

Thanks for the feedback. Will look into the issues.
Update: Did you wait for the all the apps to install? I mentioned this is 2 places: 1) On the XDA web page 2) at the end of the user-selectable install (in the Aroma installer). You have to wait for the system to auto reboot before you manually reboot. Apps are being installed during and after the initial ROM setup. It can take up to 5 minutes for the apps to install depending on how many you selected. The apps are really installed using Android Package Manager (pm) - this is to get a good clean install of the selected apps.
Update 2: Check this link out - may help with wifi passwords => Lost Wifi password after reboot
Hope it helps.
Did you do a data wipe before installing ROM? If not, I would suggest you do a wipe then install the ROM to see if it saves Wifi passwords after reboot. All my testing has been done this way.
I had the same thing , but first just did not work wi-fi , and then began to turn off when you set up Google account.

Hello gcrutchr
Thank you for the p901 rom.
It works great. I don't have any Wifi password problem or camera problem till I installed.
But as I hardreset my sm-p901 wifi & 3G (actually it's sm-p902 model in Turkey) I lost the original p901 kernel. So I installed p900 kernel and craftwork rom for p901. Because of that I can see the mobile data icon but when I push the mobile data button it says no sim(a working data sim is inserted by the way). This is because the kernel for p900 that I have to install . There are no stock or custom kernels for p901 on the internet. So is there any chance that you can develop a p901 stock kernel OR is there any way that I can enable the 3g Mobile data in the kernel for p900.

Unfortunately, I am not a kernel developer. The only thing I can do is provide a stock kernel fo XXUANK2. All I have done to the kernel is add a few lines to the ramdisk for superuser functionality. If you want to try a stock kernel (no mods), let me know and I will package an installable stock P901 kernel.
901 kernel
If you can provide stock kernel for p901 that would be great.
If you can make recovery flashable kernel that's enough for me. I only need to work 3g. other parts of your rom works great

Attached is a stock P901 kernel which you can install through recovery.
Note: you will lose root with this kernel - but - you can use Chainfire's SuperSu v2.40 to get root back.

Thank you my friend. I installed the kernel and it worked perfect.
The camera the wifi and 3G is working at the moment.
It didn't change the root but in any case I installed the chainfire supersu again.

So I noticed there's no official thread for this tablet. I went ahead a decided to try and get a thread going for this tablet only. I am strongly considering porting a Rom and possibly a recovery pending requests from users on xda for the device.
To ROOT the Alcatel OneTouch Pop 7 p310a
1. Make sure Unknown sources is checked in Settings > Security > Device administration > Unknown Sources
2. You head over to alephzain's ROOT thread and download the framaroot 1.9.3 apk
LINK To Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276
3. Follow the directions on alephzain's thread. Move the apk to the SD card and install the apk.
4. The apk will then run after clicking "install"
If successful, your OneTouch Pop 7 p310a will now be rooted after a reboot.
To test, after reboot you should see superuser in the list of installed applications.
Also you can download 'root checker' from Google play to verify.

Hi, thanks for this.
Will a memory swap mod, to make the tablet see the external SD Memory as the internal storage, work with the P310A?
Searched and found this for another Alcatel device:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284347&page=39
Is something like this already available for the tablet?
Will be a big improvement if this can be ported to the P310A, and then have a 32Gb or even a 64 Gb memory card be seen as the internal storage.
Thanks.
I have one of these little tablets from T-Mobile (gotta love free) and love it. Last night I got an update warning but have not installed it yet. Unfortunately there is very little information for them like custom ROMs or custom recovery. I would even like to find the software and files needed to return the device back to stock if there was ever a problem and it needed to be reflashed back to out of the box state. Let me know if I can help as I would love to see more for this awesome little device.
Btw, interesting fact about T-Mobile 4G on these tablets. The base is 10 USD for 1gb of 4G a month. All T-Mobile tablets also come with free 200mb 4G a month one top of that. If you have the highest plan at T-Mobile (80 USD a month, unlimited everything including 4g, no drop back to 3g at all) then the tablet actually gets 5gb a month of 4G for the 10 USD instead of 1gb.
..
Just installed the latest update from T-Mobile for the p310a and framaroot 1.93 no longer roots it. Damn.
Try this :wwwDOTmgyunDOTcom/m/en
It rooted my tablet and 2 others. It will install a "kinguser" superuser app. Download clockworks superuser from the play store.
Then disable kinguser and allow clockworks superuser to do its job.

Can you please share what is on the update?
Find out the update is still on 4.2.
According to the Tmo support site is to improve battery, camera flicker and freezing.
That is about all I see in the update. The version is still the same and I have not seen any real difference personally. Kind of wish I hadn't updated.
Btw, thanks for the recommendation. I am rooted again, woohoo.
---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------
Well, I am rooted but the only SU that will work is the installed KingUser, no others will work for me.
I have the same tablet, but the P310X, not the P310A variant. Is it safe to flash the CWM recovery? I tried booting into this recovery without flashing by the fastboot flash command, but nothing happens after the transfer, the device won't boot into the new recovery.
After a little searching, it seems to me the two varians only differ in the supported cellular networks and frequencies.
Ok so I rooted this device with kingo at first. I kept have su binary issues. I installed cwm and tried to update su binary through there. I tried booting into recovery using quick boot. My tablet is stuck on tmo screen. Hard reseting takes me back to cwm but I have no backup yet , had no time to even make one. Does anyone have one by chance or a way for me to boot back up through cwm?
Recovery flashed successfully and looks great but, no partitions will mount and I cannot flash any .zips. Anyone else having issues?
I flashed the recovery but when I backed up my data and started getting "unfortunately settings has stopped" error
I did all alternatives and was forced to wipe it clean. But when I tried to restore it kept saying MS5 is not found.
So I am screwed now cause although it did clean it, the settings issue is still there and it will not let me open the wifi /buletooth settings/
keeps crashing and sometimes reboots. So I just want to revert back to the original factory firmware.
Does anyone have the original firmware??
Possible lollipop rom?

Hey Im Sixthg but call me six. I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-p3113) and flashed my recovery with CWM 6.0.3.7. I have a stock gaming rom and my Original rom backed up. Would it be possible for someone to Customize my rom and change the User Interface? If so, are you willing to do it for free?
Also I would like to keep my downloaded apps when I install custom roms....how would i do that?

Hey there,
I,m new too but i'm not devs here, i'm a noob user so probably i'm not going to help much. If I'm explaining something that you are already know, I apologise.
Yet from my little experience, i did flash the latest recovery CWM 6.0.5.1 (i suggest you try it to flash the latest version available too) and using CM 12 build 20140215 unofficial lollipop version on my P3100. All of them you can found on thread by Android-Andi. Just make sure you download and flash the correct version for your P3113 / probably same as P3110 (*I use P3100).
I can't paste his link of work as its on his signature. BUT, you can found it on "Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development". On his androidfilehost you may find all the necessary files such as latest rom (twrp, cwm, omni, etc) and customize rom for kitkat or lollipop. He also made slim version for both of it. He also help how to do it. But be aware to backup everything first as usual. as what I did was a clean install thus it may not bring back any bugs with it. So it means download all the apps manually. But if you connect the game with google play your data will stay the same (I guess).
Just my 5cents. Sorry if it doesnt help much or didn't answer your questions. Hope someone could explain it better
Best of luck.
No with clockworkmod recovery it is best to have the one Rom manager recommends for a device. And seeing as no roms have been made for p3113 or p3110 I flashed it with the p3100 recovery. The one it downloaded and flashed is 6.0.2.7 because that recovery is meant for p3100. Nightlies I found out are full builds and with the app link2sd you can convert apps to system apps so you do not loss them when flashing a new rom. So thats what I did with my downloaded apps. Now as I have aslo backed up everything. I need to download a working nightly.
Also I would like to know if I could somehow take away the samsung dependency? They have too many apps that are key to my system's functionality.
