Hello community,
I was given the device last year and had been fairly satisfied with the performance of it. However, it has gotten laggy over the past couple weeks and a friend suggested to root and flash a rom on it. So, without any prior knowledge, I have been doing some research and browsing through the threads on this forum. I can see that there are guides but was very unsure if the methods would still work because I have noticed that most of them were last updated/edit a while ago. I know I shouldn't use the word 'latest' for doing this to a tablet that is fairly old in the market. However, it would be very helpful if someone can point me to some 'proven to work' or 'trust-worthy' guides of rooting, flashing recovery, and rom.
Also, just out of curiosity, please recommend which recovery and rom a first-timer should use if possible
try these roms.

hello ,
these are the things you need to do before flashing a ROM.
note: -the following things may void your warranty.
-do this on your own risk.
1. HOW TO ROOT
-First install kingo root on your windows PC. Then check USB debugging .
( settings. < about device < touch build number 7times < go back and select developer options < check USB debugging.)
-Open kingo root on the PC and connect your device and connect your device to the PC. Start root and do not remove the USB cable until it says finish.
-Now you have successfully rooted your device.
2.HOW TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY
- Go to the following link and download CLOCK WORK MOD(CWM)
LINK: https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Select your device and install the recovery.
go into the app and install recovery .
3.BACK UP
download rom manager from playstore and do a backup( do a backup using this ap only if you are using CWM recovery.
link for ROM manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mmanager&hl=en
Now the first thing you need to do is download this rom.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533333
(note: you can flash the rom of p5110 for p5113)

I was looking in the forum and someone said that I would also need to unlock the bootloader? If so, how do I do that?
Also, is there a difference between kingroot and towelroot? I saw a post in the forum here saying towelroot is fast and easy to root the tablet.
Not much difference.
Actually there is not much difference between kings root and towel root....towel root doesn't need a PC...but I have never used it so I can't assure you that it is safe.
And coming to the boot loader I don't know much about it but I didn't do anything like that before flashing a rom or rooting my tab2....
If you want further assistance about the boot loader I can help you with that..

it is not necessary to unloack bootloader for tab 2 as it comes with a unlocked bootloader from stock.

Hey, it's been a while. Honestly speaking, when I first posted this thread, I didn't really have enough time to do the things so now I am finally back and trying to do it. So far, I know what recovery and rom I'm going to use with all the files downloaded and ready. Though, currently, I am still at the pre-root stage. I have read up things about kingoroot and not sure if I wanted to use it. So I looked around on the forum and wonder if Odin is still a working solution. Reading on the steps and guides, I was wondering if I need to have Kies installed?

Kies is not needed as it never helped.
You can depend on odin it is your only saviour when you are in trouble.
I think rooting with kingroot is easy as it is just connecting to your PC and cick the start button.
So just notice me when your ready.
And there is also one good news...?
Tab 2 has got marshmallow.

I have rooted the tablet. I did it with odin and twrp with flashing the updatedSuperSU zip folder.
I have tried flashing the CM12.1 rom yesterday but resulted in a boot loop. So for now, I'm just rooted and on stock rom until I or someone can find out what was the problem. I have read about the discussion with marshmallow but it seems to me that the project isn't really stable yet. From what I have researched lately, can I assume there's issue with the p51xx line of tablets? Because I saw many people having problems with p51xx and most people with the other tablets aren't having any.

You first must update your tab to jelly bean bootloader, before trying out newer roms.
Or perhaps flash stock jb firmware with odin
Whatever you choose, both is ok.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642005
Read here
The first thing you do, is take a nandroid backup, it's very important at every step, unless you are really ready to risk. It's better to have it.
Next Read through the rom threads, clear your mind and your tab too. You must format data.
Stay on twrp 2.8.7.2. Don't go to the latest one yet.
Flash rom, wait, it will boot up.
Every tab behave differently with every rom, sure you are going to face soft reboots, on some roms it will be a lot, on some it will be less. I would suggest you try both LP and kk first.
Remember, it's better to keep this tab updated than to stay on stock. This tab 2 series has a emmc bug and staying on stock or jumping back is a risk too. I have been on kk and lp. They both have kept this tab running great and away from that bug.

Do I have to unroot first? Do you have a link to making a nandroid backup?
Edit: Oh, I looked at the link you included and it said that if I am on stock jb (4.2.2), I can skip the update bootloader part..
When you flashed the new rom, did you do a factory reset (wipe data)?

Yes, that's what I meant too, if you're on jb already, you are fine. You don't have to unroot. For making a nandroid backup, use twrp recovery, there is an option for backup, select and backup all from there, if you get into bootloop or any other problem, as long as you can get back to recovery, you can restore from there. Most rom comes pre rooted.

That's what I did. Let me just briefly summarize what I have done:
used odin with twrp
booted into recovery and made back up
cleared dalvik, cache, system, and data, formatted data
flashed update supersu, booted into system and checked root with root checker
rebooted into recovery, cleared dalvik, cache, system, and data, formatted data again
flashed cm12.1 and gapps, rebooted but ran into bootloop at splash screen
rebooted into recovery and restored back up
So I'm rooted and on stock 4.2.2 currently.

This is my first post, so here goes. I have been reading all day after following the guide on the developers forum on unlocking, rooting. Everything went well, it is unlocked, cwm flashed, and rooted. However, rootcheck comes back with "this device does not have proper root access." I did some reading and found out i would have to do more to get a "full root." Superuser is installed and i can use a root browser so I am guessing i have a limited root....
Does anyone have suggestions? Really want to get this done before flashing any custom roms. If it helps, i had 4.1.1 JB before all of this. Suggestions on roms to flash would help, i read i should only flash a rom based on JB. I dont know if its related but i have been unable to do a backup with CWM...results in error.
I hope provided pertinent info. Thanks in advance.

Drop CWM... download/flash TWRP (team win recovery partition) i call them TWiRP, lol
But, with CWM, it just stood still for 30min?! i tried 3 times...nothing
flashed over the alternate recovery from TWRP, and whalA! i can do backups
plus the TWRP gui is ALOT more user friendly, and alot more options.
go here, http: //teamw.in /project /twrp
on the right, top, choose your device...
its the same way as with CWM and FastBoot..
But...
I still cant get ROOT either, busybox SAYS, rooted, but SU and Titanium backup say no root, so does RootExplorer...
so im stuck at that part...
im running, JB 4.1.1
my steps i did:
downloaded/installed asus unlocker tool
followed the directions to install cwm/TWRP ( i chose TWRP, cause CWM is a POS with this tablet)
ran/flashed that root-signed.zip, it said SUCCESS
rebooted..
it said, Optimizing Apps 1 of 140
then loads fine, but like you its givng me LIMITED root access...
**************************** UPDATE ***********************************
This method i just did and got Rooted successfully on the UNLOCKED version of Asus JellyBean 4.1.1
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted

Thanks. I just flashed the TWRP recovery...I really like the gui. I have a question though...the superuser3.2 file you said to flash...where do i find that? I'm up to that point. Thanks again, for your help. Also, another question...is it correct that I have to only install roms based on official ASUS JB 4.1.1 ? I'm really unclear on that stuff. If i flash another rom will it undo what I just did in flashing TWRP? I'm getting a little confused between flashing these recoveries and flashing roms...help

flash any rom, thats made for the tablet, the rom will be based off the recent os,like jelly bean,just gutted,ripped and optimized.
there are several, hydro, which is like stock,just performance enhanced, black jellybean, optimized for other stuff.
just research the differences...and read the reviews...the users might have issues that havrnt been worked out yet.
to gain root access to the files and delete system apps, *buy* Root Explorer.
then change a folders view from, r/o to r/w, becareful what u delete.
ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE MESSING AROUND!!
ANYTHING else?
thanks

As far as I know, you can only flash custom JB ROMS that are based off the JB bootloader. Once you did the OTA upgrade to JB, the bootloader was updated as well. If you try to flash any ROMS that are based off the ICS bootloader, you're going to brick your tablet. That's what I keep reading. I'm still on a locked tablet, but I read everything on the forums.

Hey I have a similar problem for k3 note (k50a40) can you help me with that
Thanks
Update : Problem Solved
First off, I just switch to my first android phone from iOS, so although I have plenty of experience jailbreaking and unlocking over there, I'm new to this, so hand-holding is appreciated
I have a developer XT926 phone. Fastboot says it's unlocked with status code 1. It came running 4.0.4, and I rooted it using motofail2go. I now want to install CyanogenMod 10.1 (or some other version 4.2 rom that you guys think is better), as described here. However, I have been unable to find detailed instructions on how to install it after booting into recovery mode. (I'm guessing those steps are well-know on xda, but forum and google searches didn't help.)
Additionally, since I have an unlocked dev phone, can I install one of these unsigned roms directly, or will I need to first install clockworkmod, safestrap, etc (and if so, any advice on which one).
Thanks the any help you can give me
You need to install a custom record very like twrp or cwm. Either is fine and you can easily switch later if you want to try them both out. Once you have your custom recovery installed, you'll need to boot into recovery. From there you will v be able to backup your current setup followed by a factory wipe and ROM install. Good luck

Thanks. So I have twrp installed and working, and made a successful backup. I was about to install CW 10.1, when I noticed comments that it seems to have a lot of issues. What rom would you recommend I install? Liquidsmooth? Eclipse? CM 10.1 anyway? Thanks again!

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 gt3113. It is rooted,and I want to install a rom. The factory rom/kernel lags...get stuck ....and with all I have read the roms out there make a big difference. But I'm having a problem....I'm using rom manager and rom toolbox and I cant seem to install a rom. It load the rom whether from the computer or the download option but when it boot into recovery I get an error saying that the sd card is not found and I just end up manually re-booting the device....Ive tried this a few times choosing different things at the screen...a(abd....cashe....external storage....) it all ends up the same.....anyone have any idea what this means? I'm learning as I go....and was thinking about un-rooting my device then rooting it again.....maybe I did something wrong?
Complety bewildered....

if you are able to boot into recovery then please wipe cache partition and do a factory reset and then try to revert to stock rom

For starters, stay away from ROM Manager! It's known to cause different sorts of problems on different devices while installing CWM and ROMs. I have only good things to say about ROM Toolbox in terms of tweaks and utilities, but never used it for ROM installation, and would suggest not to. Just download the ROM you want from its original source, put it on internal or external storage, and flash using your recovery (my personal all-time favourite is PhilZ Touch CWM, not sure what you are using). Do the proper wipes before flashing (full wipe is always recommended, especially between stock and CM/AOSP ROMs. Make sure you also flash other possibly applicable components (depends on the ROM and your preferences) -- gapps, kernel, etc. See if it works that way. I just don't see any reason to use 3rd-party apps for "ROM management" -- the simpler the process, the better.
I'm going to try to put a new rom on the tab tonight without using a program,i have a question though...I have to press power and the up volume or power and the down volume when i flash the new rom

You are in recovery... To get to download mode on P31xx for using Odin you need to press and hold Volume DOWN + Power.
ok.....so I need to be in the download mode to download anything including roms and kernels....so I have to use odin to download stuff then?

Man, that sounds scary! You really need to do some reading on the basics, before you screw something up.
You can flash ZIP files from recovery, including ROMs, kernels, recoveries, and apps. However, you need Odin, a PC connection, and a download mode on your tab in order to flash things like official ROM packages (typically in tar.md5 format).
If you want to flash the ROM in zip format, you can do that in recovery. In general, if you have problems doing that, your other option is Odin and a stock ROM; then you can start over.
Looking closely at your photo, you have a stock recovery. You can only flash signed zips from it, which means you won't be able to flash custom ROMs or kernels. I would suggest to start with flashing a custom recovery (look up PhilZ Touch CWM, it's the best). This will make things easier for you.
P.S.: Sorry, didn't mean to sound harsh... It seems things got a bit confusing in the process, so questions and answers didn't really line up...
well ....I have been doin a lot of research,maybe too much lol....but the only thing I can get outta all of it is that to flash a kernel or rom or both I need to go into recovery(power and up volume) and do a wipe of the cashe and install.....then it seems to trail off there with a ok now your done go enjoy....
I cant seem to find any kinda description of what happens in between the wiping of the cashe/devlick and the install...I keep ending up in the recovey section wheather I use rom manager rom toolbox or just me following directions. I will say this though.....I do not see the cwm logo in the recovery....I stiil have the android and he lays there dead then does a quick flash to an error message then I get the menu....but there is no "mount and storage" and "backup and restore" option for me to choose from I put the tab into recovery mode and took a picture....its in the previous post.
I am still using the stock rom and kernel btw....Im not sure if I have mentioned that. I havnt been able to flash anything.

Yeah, I got that. Sorry for the confusion! I updated my previous post, take a look. Stock recovery seems to be your problem here.
No harm done lol I appreciate all the help.....I'm a bit new at this,but I learn quick. Ok....I may be putting CWM or pfilze wrong way on my tab I loaded it from the play store,along but when I rooted tab I'm 99% positive that I installed CWM also . when I plug it into the computer I can see a clockwork folder.do I neeed to use odin to install philz?
is there a specific PhilZ Touch for the tab 2? or can I just download it to the computer and send it to my tab via odin?

Not sure exactly what and how you did previously, but the fact is that you've got a stock recovery now. You need a custom recovery - it doesn't have to be PhilZ, even though I strongly recommend it. You can install standard CWM, too, no problem with that. To install PhilZ, you either need CWM to be already installed, or you need to use Odin.
For details and install instructions on PhilZ CWM, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202667
Oh, BTW, as an alternative to Odin, look up the Mobile Odin by Chainfire on Play Store. It allows you to flash Odin packages from your device directly. Very useful tool! Free version will do, but the paid one has more features.

Yes, there is. Look in the thread I linked above.
Yep.....i got it stuck in forever boot using mobile odin.... Uugggh....I'm gonna return everything to stock and re-root it.....what ever I did the first time rooting and installing cwm I must a missed a step or something. I'll repost my progress when I'm back to stock and rooted properly
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
YAY!!! Merry Christmas to me!!! I unrooted and repaired my tab 2 7.0 . I also re-rooted it and installed philztouch and everything is installed properly this time. Funny thing though.....after I got the tab working and before I re-rooted it...I tried to do the factory update to 4.2.2 ,since now I'm only on 4.1.1,it said that I had the latest updates available and my apps and phone list didn't auto load like when I first got my tab....hhhmmmm...anyways it works now and all root stuff and twrp is properly :highfive::highfive: only one more question...now that TWRP is working....when I want to download a kernel or rom do I leave it in Zipped form when I put it on the tab and the tab unzips it and flashs it or do I unzip it? .....sorry for all the basic questions but ya cant learn unless you ask questions
Thanks for every ones help with my Tab 2!!!

Well, congrats, and merry Christmas! A bit confused - are you using PhilZ CWM, or TWRP?
As for zip files, leave them as they are, don't unzip - the recovery will install them. Just a suggestion - whenever possible, especially for large files like complete ROMs, verify the MD5 checksum to make sure your file is not corrupt during download.
just went into recovery and it says Philz touch 6

Is it related? Someone help plz...
The question is do i really have to install a new rom, now that the tablet is rooted with CWM on it, can't do any manipulation to allow the chinese rom to accept google playstore etc...
My biggest problem with the chinese rom that comes with it is that i cant install download google playstore, i installed it but everytime i open it, it closes right away. Not google nor other google apps available neither since it was sold in china...

In the end, I just used a previous version of Odin (3.4 instead of 3.9) to flash an original stock rom.
Now the problem is that I have a new CWM that works with the volume up, volume down button, and this menu:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- zipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache
Since the rom is not really good, i wanted to flash another one (one of those we just talked about), but the backup i did with the previous CWM i had (Philz Advanced CWM 6.08.90) is nowhere in the tablet anymore (i dont have any sd card) and i dont know how to make a back up with this CWM...
So now the question is how to make a backup with this version of CWM so I can try to flash other roms, or how to get the version that i had before without takin any risk of brickin the device (so i can make another backup and try to flash another)

Are you sure the new recovery is CWM and not stock recovery?? If you flashed stock ROM, it should've given you stock recovery again...

There's a recent thread talking about king root working. Not sure the full process though for lollipop as I didn't root lollipop I just went straight to a rooted lollipop ROM.
My advice is download and install TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706982), make an nandroid backup and then install the latest version of civs ROM.

I believe there's a guide thread for lollipop and root and you were the last poster in it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...guide-install-official-lollipop-p900-t3154362). While I don't know for certain what the answer is for you in the UK I am fairly confident that following the TWRP+Root section in the first post in that thread will work for you.
Just be mindful of the locations you download the TWRP and SuperSu files (you download one to your computer, you download the other to the tablet's SD card). Also pay attention to button combinations in the instructions because they're important (i.e. Power+Home+VolumeDown does something different than Power+Home+VolumeUp !!). Lastly make sure to heed the red text in the instructions too because if you allow the tablet to reboot prior to installing SuperSu then you'll likely end up in a bootloop and have to get back into stock recovery and restart the process again (worse, you may even have to wipe the device clean using Kies).
Good luck.
If you can at least get TWRP and root working on your device you can then do a backup in TWRP and also get backups of your apps/data using Titanium Backup prior to exploring other ROMs.

Do I get the original samsung rom and then flash back to stock if needed?.
Also does Wanam Xposed work with Lollipop, want to download an adblocker for my tablet and grant sd access.
To be honest given your apprehension I'm of the mind that if your best course of action is going with the custom ROM. I would root using the documented method first, install Titanium Backup once your stock ROM is rooted and then do a full backup of your apps. I would also do a full backup of your system in TWRP. If you're pressed for space after that then copy the backup files off of the device onto your computer before erasing them.
Once your backups are done (and I'm presuming you want to back things up first) then proceed with doing the Civs ROM install. This will get you Xposed framework and adblocking installed without any need for you to do the installs yourself. It keeps you out of trouble and best of all the support thread for his ROM is still active.
As for downloading the orginal ROM that's up to you . . doing the full backup in TWRP of your original rooted ROM is usually sufficient.
Keep in mind the methods I'm describing assume that you're not concerned with Knox or warranty status.

Yes because the second one is stock rooted (as the title indicates) and you are already stock rooted.
At this point I hope you are aware that installing the ROM will erase all of your settings and applications, right?
