yes there are some measures fo cleaning extra apps and get some breathing space in ram,
you cannot backup til u root your device, you hav to use clockworkmod to flash a recovery on your device which requires rooting, what i found is A87 already has clockworkmod recovery preinstalled, but the version that exist is does not hav backup option.
And so i tried installing latest version of clockworkmod ie v6 now my phone freezes while going into recovery mode.
Now my question is , Which Clockworkmod to use for micromax A87.

How to root and unroot tab2 7" p3100 (may work on other models)

To remove Root:
This Root Remover has been tested with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" P3100 (tested on jellybean)
REQUIREMENT: A rooted Tab 2.
•After you download this file, move it the root of your external SD card( /mnt/extSdCard ). This is the micro sdcard you insert in tablet slot. Your /mnt/sdcard folder is internal memory (not recognized in CWM recovery).
•Reboot into CWM (recovery) using Quick Boot app or
•Power OFF your tablet, disconnect from computer and restart in recovery (CWM) by pushing and holding POWER & Volume DOWN/LEFT buttons at same time. When Samsung Tab 2 logo appears, you can release power button but continue holding volume button for a few more seconds. Note: If you've done this on other Samsung devices, you will notice that it takes longer before blue CWM v5.5.0.4 text appears ... just be patient.
•Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around and POWER button to select an option.
Select install zip from sdcard. Choose Root_Remover file you already copied to root of sdcard.
When unrooting is finished, choose reboot system now from CWM menu.
NOTE-By downloading and using this file you understand and agree that you bear all responsibility for the use and anything it may do to your tablet.
DOWNLOAD-
Root_Remover.zip (h--p://www.mediafire.com/?ty54o6lah25w41d)
Replace (--) with tt.
For Root (tested on jellybean):
Use chainfire root its d best i have it.
U can google it or find it on xda search (instructions are provided there).
Dont use the above method to remove the chainfire root as it can be easily removed from its modified superuser application but it works as any other root and is superb!

Kunal

Yeah brother sure,
It means that do not use the unrooting method which i have given you above to remove the chainfire autoroot (developed by chainfire-a.k.a {cf autoroot}). If you have a chainfire autoroot open its superuser application and there u will see an option of removing the root completely. Try it i personally recommend cf autoroot. Only the cf autoroot has the option to remove the root itself coz its superuser app is modified.
Gud luck

Hi Kunal
Hi Kunal.......
I had unrooted my Tab 2 P3100 (v4.1.1 - India) yesterday. I had also used triangle away as u adviced to set counter to zero. After unroot I wipe data/factory reset the Tab. After that then i had done factory reset from settings/backup and restore option in Tab.
But when I tried to update my tab using OTA by going under Software Update option in Settings it displays following message:
YOUR DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED. SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
Then I checked for Device status it shows Device Status Custom. How to get rid of all this.
Plz help.

Hey amit,
U dnt have to use triangle away after unrooting its only for after u root ur tab. Btw dnt update to 4.1.2 it just suckss!! It only adds smart stay to ur tab which is NOT working due to a bug in this update i also rolled back to 4.1.1 after i did this useless update. And if u want to update then go to recovery menu (power off then power button + volume up) and from there do factory reset and wipe all cache and data dalvik cache also (it will delete evrythin on your tab)-DO THIS ONLY AFTER UNROOT.
And if the above one does not work then format, wipe cache and dalvik also from recovery menu and then use ota update.
If ota doesnt work then use kies-only if ur tab is unrooted.
Ps sorry for late reply

Try this:
in Titanium Backup App, tap "Problems?" in overview tab. And then simply tap on "Upgrade Supersu".
Also make sure the root is done perfectly with root checker apps!

Go to download mode and flash a recovery. It may be twrp or cwm. Now flash superSu.zip dropbox.com/s/b55kznq64bx75d3/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip?dl=0
This is a zip file that you have to flash through a custom recovery . It never fails and tested by me on my own gt I8262.

Hello irishdean2703,
Try to flash TWRP v2.7.1.0 by NovaFusion recovery.
After flashing a rom a pop up menu will appear and ask you if you want to root your device with SuperSU maybe that helps...
In case it wont try to make a clean installation on stock with odin and then try framaroot again!
Hope I helped if so please press the 'thanks' button!
