[Q] Rooted Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113 Update Prep Questions

I used the steps described by cbetso 14 May 2012 on HOW TO ROOT YOUR TAB (message #33) in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 section of xda developers Forum. It is the unlockr method. It worked great. Thank you to everyone there who shared so much!
It gave me the message: "You have successfully rooted your tablet as well as installed CWM recovery on it."
The 4.0.4 update was offered by Samsung several months ago, and Jelly Bean may be offered in the future. My questions are simple:
In the rooting process, did I overwrite the official ICS 4.0.3 Samsung ROM?
May I update to 4.0.4 from the currently rooted state?
Must I remove CWM before updating?
And/or must I do something else to prepare the Tab in advance of applying the updates?
If so, please point me to a location on the forum where the steps are listed.
Sorry for the Beginner questions. Thank you in advance for any help.

The 4.0.4 update was offered by Samsung several months ago, and Jelly Bean may be offered in the future. My questions are simple:
In the rooting process, did I overwrite the official ICS 4.0.3 Samsung ROM? No, all you did was provide a modified script. Although, I may be stood corrected, as I did not find your link to your rooted method.
May I update to 4.0.4 from the currently rooted state? If you are rooted, then no you need to be Stock. Unless some one has provided an Updated.zip, then that can be applied over your root method.
Must I remove CWM before updating? No, if you have returned to Stock. The Stock Recovery will be applied over the Custom Recovery. Unless again, someone has provided the proper Updated.zip that can be applied through a Custom Recovery.
And/or must I do something else to prepare the Tab in advance of applying the updates? If you return to Stock, No. If someone has provided an Update.zip to flash from a Custom Recovery (i.e, CWM), then No...
If so, please point me to a location on the forum where the steps are listed. Hello bettyhills, I am fairly new to this particular device, and the only thing I have found here is a download in regards to a 4.0.4 update, from the 4.0.3 Stock version, is a download that consisted of a bunch of partition files, that needed to be installed via Heimdall. In my hesitation primarily, because it neglected to provide the correct instructions. I opted to wait for the Jelly Bean updated, which has yet to have been correctly distributed for the GT2-p3113 device, although there is a GT2-p3110 version out there... To reiterate, in my hesitation I told myself I would wait for the Jelly Bean update before flashing a Stock Rom to rightfully except an Official Samsung Distribution, by returning to Stock and re-rooting...
Although, you may want to wait for a more like-able suggestion..., from someone else!!!

[Q] updating tab from 4.1.1 to the latest firmware

Hi, I'm using a Galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3110. android version 4.1.1. I've already rooted it however i don't have CWM installed.
I would like to know how I can update it's version, but I would like to have a nandroid backup first.
So my first question is, how do I install CWM if my tab's already rooted?
2nd, how can I update its version?
Sorry for my noob questions. I already tried reading and searching for the answers here in XDA, but I'm still lost.
Thank you.

Download odin flashables and flash through odin link
Or best way is to download ClockworkMod from gplay and download cwm from there and it'll flash directly.
Download 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 version from here link
I suggest 4.1.2 caz u can swap ur device sdcard on this version for gaming, if u r not a gamer than 4.2.2 is the best!!
Best of luck.

[Completed] lolipop to kitkat can it be done?

I have a galaxy s4 SGH-l337 provider is Att. I never rooted/hacked/flashed/done anything to my phone, it's all stock/basic.
Been a few days now after the android version V5.0.1 upstalled itself onto my phone. It's awful I wanted to get the new android version graviton, but before i can i need to root my phone. I haven't had success with using the popular rooting software because they do not support my version. So i am looking to revert back to kitkat and then to graviton. But, before i can revert back to kitkat i need the firmware file, and the place i went to had all but my phones model
Have i hit a dead end until lolipop works with a root program?
Thanks for the time. CraigK

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy A3 Help Downgrade 5.0.2 to 4.4.4

Hi all... i have a problem with my Galaxy A3 (SM-A300FU) Let me explane and i hope you can help me:
Few months ago i decided to root my SM-A300FU running android 4.4.4 and all worked so i enjoyed my rooted device with no problems...
Then i decided to update my phone to lollipop just to see how it works but when i tried to root lollipop (using cf auto root for a300fu but for 4.4.4 bec for 5.0.2 it doesn't exist) it started the first time but when i rebooted my phone it stopped working, i mean it's stuck on samsung screen, or worst stuck on a strange yellow "sand screen"... so i reinstalled lollipop normally and started to use it without root waiting for a cf auto root for 5.0.2... some days ago i thought that i could downgrade to 4.4.4 and be able to re root my device so i downloaded stock firmware for my a3 from sammobile.com
but when i tried to flash it (always with odin running administrator) it just stuck at samsung loading screen
I can reflash lollipop and all restart working but i can't root 5.0.2 so i want to downgrade to stock 4.4.4 and i can't!
I'm getting crazy on it trying to flash it tons of times but it don't wanna work... I hope you can help me downgrading this phone!
PS: model code: SM-A300FU build version: LRX22G.A300FUXXU1BOEC

well is there a reason to downgrade to 4.4.4 now that you can get root on 5.0.2?
Anyway if you still want to downgrade, head over to Android's Q&A Section since there's no dedicated forum for your device, and ask your question there
I hooe I have helped you!

Hey there, i dont know much about the carrier based variants but the basic steps are the same i guess. If you're rooted then you have to flash a custom recovery from there you can flash roms. Try googling.
