Hello everybody,
I am having trouble installing a custom rom on my SGH-T779 10.1 Tab 2 that I just got. I have a few questions. One can I use a wifi only rom on this T-mobile Tab 2? I see that there is several different designators talking about the Tab 2. Should I be using the P5100, p5110, or the P5113? How can I tell? Why not just use T779?
I was able to find a few good looking roms. Downloaded them and a recovery boot image. Was able to get it into download mode and flash the img using Heimdall on my linux machine. Heimdall always shows that the flash was complete with no errors. I booted into recovery mode.
Before flashing the rom I did the usual wipe before hand. After the wipe I can not boot into the stock rom. It is just stuck on the Samsung.
Went to install a rom and I got an error about the rom being for a different recovery. So searched and found some posts about getting a recovery to work and flash the roms just fine. So I tried that one. After flashing it trying to boot into recovery I got the booting recovery message then the screen just goes black. Then it takes a lot of messing around with the buttons to try to boot into recovery or download.
Finally got a recovery to let me boot into recovery. Then trying to install a rom I get the status 7 error. I searched that and found a few solutions. Tried the editing of the updater script. Didn’t work. Tried the signature verification trick. No luck.
I have tried espresso-twrp, twrp, philz touch, openrecovery-twrp. I have tried them for the P5100 and the P5110.
So now I can boot into Odin Download mode only. What am I missing? What can I do to get a custom rom on this thing? It has never been this hard before. Driving me crazy!
Thank you very much!

SGH-T779 is completely different from any of these tabs P5100, p5110, or the P5113. not the same chipset, not the same GSM band.
please don't confuse and use these ROMs, they aren't meant for the CDMA version.

Hi guys!
Yesterday I successfully rooted my NS (it is a European SLCD model with stock 2.3.6 on it) following the newest guide on nexusshacks.com. So I ended up with TWRP recovery.
Then I thought the easiest to install CM is via Rom Manager. Therefore I had to change recovery for CWM. (I flashed the latest one.)
And here comes my question: why am I unable to flash CM?
First I tried it in Rom Manager, after wiping everything and rebooting system nothing happens, except for a big yellow exclamation mark.
Then I downloaded the proper CM myself and I tried to do the whole process manually in recovery menu. After wiping and choosing update from SD card I get a message like the process is aborted.
I also tried with an older CWM and with other ROM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

Boot into bootloader, then flash recovery via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
stock firmware will rewrite your recovery after each boot. flash recovery then flash this right after.
Follow what SEAN SAys..............He is a Master in all these , and he helped me with details to root, flash cwm, make it sticky and flash custom ROMS.
It took me 5 minutes to do all those , and Now I am switching Roms like I switch my underwears every day twice.
I must say, Sean has the best possible way which is like a finger click.
(SOLVED) I flashed the CWM tar file via Odin and wiped cache and davlik...booted up normal.
HELP!
I recently bought a GT-p6800 to use as a phone option. I wanted to root the ROM so I applied the universal root for ICS method and the device was rooted without any issue.
Here is where my problem exists
I wanted to backup the stock rooted ROM so I used GOOMANAGER to flash TWRP 3.4.0.0 on the device through the use of the GOO app. The process seemed to work according to the app.
When I rebooted into recovery, the tablet stuck on the splash screen logo Samsung galaxy tab 7.7. NOW I am unable to get the tablet to BOOT or get to a recovery. HOWEVER I am able to get into the download mode.
My thoughts are that I could recover the STOCK recovery by flashing it via ODIN?
Any thoughts that could help. I am posting here rather than trying something unnecessary.
Thanks in advance.
This exact same thing just happened to me. Haven't used odin before. Can you tell me exactly how you restored your tab? I sourced the CWM TAR file.
Thanks in advance!
So I've been play with Android for a few years now and I love it. Got the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 in the fall of 2012 and had a custom rom installed not long after. Periodically I check XDA to see if there is a new custom ROM I want to try. Finally there is, OMNIRom. It says I need a recovery image that can handle the new SELinux. After poking around for an easy way to update I findout that the goo.im has a new recovery that it will install. And that's where things go south. I installed the new TWRP v2.6.3.0 via the goo.im and then reboot into the recovery. I go to flash the new ROM and it fails. I try downloading the ROM again and flashing it. It fails again. Okay, shouldn't be a problem... I'll just flash my prior rom. It too fails. Uh-oh.... If I try to boot normally, it just loads directly to the faulty TWRP. If I try to boot to the bootloader so I can use Heimdall to flash over a new recovery, it boots to TWRP....
I found a new recovery in a ZIP format finally and tried to use that, but it fails too.
Any advice? Suggestions? Please help.
Hello, guys, how are you all?
I'm having some trouble with my Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100), and I was hoping you could help.
Here's the thing, the Tab shuts down minutes after I boot it. So I tried to factory reset the tab, using its stock recovery.
The thing is, although it says the wipe was successful, nothing happens, nothing changes.
Alright, next I tried flashing a custom recovery - CWM - with Odin on Windows. Again, it says the flash was successful, but when I try to boot in recovery mode, it's the stock recovery that loads! Absolutely no sign of CWM whatsoever. Using Heimdall on linux got me the exactly same result, and I'm out of norse gods...
Finally, flashing the stock rom for the P3100 using Odin always fails. I'm not sure why.
So sorry for the long post. Can anyone help me?

Unmark 'Autoreboot' option in Odin. Then reboot it manually into recovery...

Sounds like a broken emmc, you should follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/soft-bricked-tab-gt-p3100-t3016879 in case someone finds a solution
Hi
This is really frustrating. I own many Samsung devices and never had any issue installing twrp, so I am not a noob when it comes to firing up Odin and flashing the image however I am stuck with this device.
I used couple guides with no success. ;( I cant get rid of the Samsung recovery and replace with TWRP. Odin says success but that is just a lie.
I tried both the lollilop bootloader and the older one then TWP with various versions (3.1x , 2.8.x) No luck.
Can anyone please provide me "working files" with "simple steps" in case I am missing out on some minor details. This is SM-P900 Kitkat 4.4.2 version.
- I flash the bootloader using the BL slot in dl mode
- I reboot to downloader again and and install TWRP
- I type adb revoot recovery
Boom, I am back to frigging Samsung recovery
Hi ,
This is a follow up
The only guide that worked for me is this one. It might be helpful to others.

I had trouble getting TWRP to take at first too. It seems Samsung overwrites the recovery upon rebooting so even though TWRP flashed successfully it just gets overwritten when the system restarts. The simple solution for me was to disable the Reboot option in Odin, install TWRP, manually shut down and then enter Recovery mode. Hope that helps. I came across this suggestion either in the thread linked to above or while googling.
Im installing into properly rooted and I have twrp 2.8.7. I want 3+ TWRP.
I flash with PDA/AP and with "autoreboot" unchecked. I power off and power+home+volUP for recovery.
Tablet enters a "enttering recovery" bootloop which can be only disrupted by going into power+home+volDWN to enter Download, and than I can flash with ODIN 2.8.7.
2.8.7 is the latest I can boot into. WHAT IS WRONG?!!!!!!!!! I lost hope, with flashing 100x
Did you try updating TWRP from inside TWRP?

try do a full wipe from stock recovery . after that flash twrp selecting the ap and bl in ODIN twrp3.1....tar booth of them (AP & BL)
no no no i tried everything. but than I found out this post : https://s4.postimg.org/s3pel2ekd/this_guy.png and that solved the day!!
With p900 work perfect, but install hard. With this twrp 3.1 i install lineage 14.1, all works good.
