[Q] Restoring to Stock ROM on GT- P3100

Hi All,
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 P3100,recently I rooted it and flashed Ubuntu,it was successful but I was unhappy with what Ubuntu offers me right now.
Now,I want to switch back to the backup which I created when I was on stock.
Will this work
Factory reset --> Wipe Dalvik Cache --> Wipe Everything --> Restore to Stock ROM (Backup)
Everywhere I see here,they mention downloading the stock rom and then installing it with odin. Is it needed?Can't we just restore to a backup with wiping everything?
Please advise!!
Thanks in advance!!

Cool,Thanks for the reply.Today I couldn't wait for too long and I installed it through Odin.Next time When I install a custom ROM I would restore with a previous backup rather than downloading a ROM and installing it with Odin.

When flashing arhd did you do full wipe (data, cache, dalvik, system)?

Try doing the following :
1. Flash an ICS Stock from first from Sammobile.( Through Odin)
2. Probably it will get you in a bootloop again.
3. Within this bootloop go into stock 3e recovery & flash CWM.(Through Odin)
4. Go into CWM & Wipe Data, Cache & Dalvick.
5. Reboot.

I tried this and it did not work for me. To rewind a bit, i was drinking last night and decided to root my note 10.1 n8013.
Now it says "Samsung" and that is all it does. I am hoping that there is a way to get it working again. I tried to install a "factory" kernel and it failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Installation aborted

Hi,
I’m really new at rooting and was just following videos…
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 (with CWM recovery) no problem…superuser app all good. I found droidcheats youtube video to install the CM10.2 (cyanogenmod) Jellybean 4.3 rom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uooLuG0Ydr8&list=WLjdPTB2mWRMy4mUvbarAjZEaZRdNawRmD
I downloaded the rom, google apps, tablet ui, and CWM recovery update.

ClockWorkMod Recovery flashable update:
https://www.file1.info/Rzhs9La
Checked USB debugging, moved files to device, unplugged and put into recovery mode, now 6.0.1.1 version, updated CWM, advanced boot recovery, now version 6.0.3.7, wiped data factory reset, wiped dalik cache, flashed rom….installation aborted.
Looks like I installed the wrong rom file.
Now I’m stuck in recovery or at reboot screen. I think I have the right rom file now but my computer doesn’t recognize my device.
I’m not sure what to do next…Can you help.
Thanks

I'm thinking if I install the correct rom from the micro sd card, it might work?

Unable to install Custom ROM in Tab2 P3110

Hi,
I am unable to Install any custom roms in Samsung galaxy Tab 2( Gt-P3110 ). When ever a custom Rom is placed, It either gets stuck in the Samsung logo, or just shows a 'Blank' Screen and hangs on that screen. After this i have to reflash the stock firmware to get the tab up again... (i do perform the wipe data/cache..then wipe cache. then wipe dalvik cache in this order before flashing the ROM)
The details of the tab are:
Model- GT-P3110 ( Galaxy tab 2 , wifi only )
android version-4.1.2
Build number-JZO54K.P3110DCMA4
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery ( Based on CWM Base version: v6.0.4.5 )
Rooted: Yes
Even the backups made are not complete, restoring a backup restores the tab to factory reset.
(it does say failed to find partition /recovery and /data for a very short time before starting the backup).
I am using a windows 7 system for this.
Thanks for the help...

what costum rom did you tried to install?
============
ROOT and update recovery:
HERE is the fastest way to root
reboot to recovery, and flash latest recovery again from HERE
reboot and go to recovery again.
Flashing roms:
Do a back up of important data/rom, place it inside your pc
Inside recovery:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data media sdcard
Install rom
Install gapps
make sure your rom and gapps zip is in extsdcard, or else it will removed
be carefull not to format /extsdcard
above process will surely give positive results if done preciesely

For some reason this tab only works with Phils recovery.. for the rest. it just refuses to work.,! but the problem was that i could not get into the external memory card.. anyways.. after following the 'data wipe' instructructions.. i sideloaded cm-11-20140304-NIGHTLY-p3110.zip with its gapps..
both got installed succesfully.. However,, at first the tab went into a boot loop.. so i got into recovery again and cleared the data and cache partitions.. now.. i got stuck at a 'Blank' screen after the samsung logo.. ( its still blank after 10 mins)..

did it still blank? carefully not to flash with the charger on.
some people got bricked and to resolve that you must wait until the battery drops out and charge it again.
maybe you should clear your mind first, don't be in rush. i feel your frustating man :laugh:
if you do not add anything more in the process, i suppose with any recoveries you will succeed.
and also, it's a normal to take 10-15 min on the first boot

Maybe your EFS broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system.... you can try all roms, no rom will boot and you'll only see the samsung bootlogo...
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.

[Q] Failed upgrade - now soft bricked

Hi all...
I tried to upgrade by Tab 2 7" to KitKat today and failed. I installed Clockworkmod successfully, but then started getting error 7's. I discovered this was because it was outdated. I've tried to install updated clockwork mod which it says has been successful - but doesn't change the original.
I did a backup of my original rom, but this has failed to reinstall. I've tried to put an old version of cyanogen on it, which also has failed, and re-downloaded the stock rom from samsfirmware which passes through ODIN, resets but then the tab 2 hangs on the Samsung screen - flashing.
I can't seem to resolve it.
Has anyone got any ideas? I can't access anything other than clockworkmod - so if you think you know of a way I can successfully upgrade it I may stand half a chance.....
Thanks
Tim

Use Odin to restore to the stock ROM. Download the stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash it in Odin as PDA. Then, use the latest recovery (either TWRP, CWM, OR PhilZ) from @Android-Andi's recovery thread in the Dev section. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want to. Make sure you do a backup and a wipe system, cache, Dalvik, data, and android secure (if it's an option.)

thanks and....
Thanks so much, does it matter that it won't boot with the stock Roma which I've installed from sams? Will the recovery program still work?

Yes, I did twice and it's still hung after apparent success installation according to Odin. I've tried it twice.
No success
Thanks
What I've done tonight is reflashed the original Rom - this time it blew away Clockworkmod. It still wouldn't boot. I then put a recovery solution on from your link, which has flashed well. However I've then tried three ROMS and each have hung after installation on the initial boot.
I'll try them again tomorrow night - but do you have any idea why three ROMS plus the stock keep failing?
Thanks

Thanks
What I've done tonight is reflashed the original Rom - this time it blew away Clockworkmod. It still wouldn't boot. I then put a recovery solution on from your link, which has flashed well. However I've then tried three ROMS and each have hung after installation on the initial boot.
I'll try them again tomorrow night - but do you have any idea why three ROMS plus the stock keep failing?
Thanks

Did you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and data before flashing and wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? And your tablet will bootloop after a reinstallation in Odin because Odin does not wipe before installation. After flashing in Odin, reboot recovery (make sure tablet is unplugged,) and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Hi, I've retried all that this morning-i must admit that I didn't know about wiping cache after install, however it's not made any difference, and still hangs on first boot...
Any other ideas? Thanks for all your help.
Happy success
Hi all
Thanks for all your help,especially rcj! I have managed to recover my device using cynagodmod 9 - it wont run 10 or 11 but at least its up and working - even if it's a downgrade from the Android version I was on Really don't care as I can use it again with a lot more memory.
Thanks - without you I would never have found Phils ROM which enabled me to get this far.

Which version of PhilZ? And I have found that TWRP 2.7.1.0 works better than other versions for KK.

Use latest Philz touch recovery. And use the rom and gapps compatible to your tab. Don't forget to reset to factory setting, clear cache and wipe dalvic cache before flashing the rom and gapps ☺
