Samsung Tab 2 7" p3113 custom rom help - General Questions and Answers

Hi all, so i just was given a tab 2 and havent modded an Android in a very long time. im wondering what the best custom rom is for this device for performance. ive done a google search and most guides are outdated. i did manage to get this device rooted, but im not too confident in what im doing after that. id like to sideload a rom instead of using an sd card also.
thanks for any help.

BL file keeps failing to download using ODIN

Hello, i would really appreciate if someone give me a solution/s because i am running out of patience and options. i tried possibly everything i found and nothing works.
I have a S7, Model SM-G930W8 with Virgin Mobile Canadian version. This started when i tried to install the latest software update using ODIN. The BL file FAILS all the time. I tried using the other 3 files without BL and everything works, but with BL dont. I am 100 % sure that BL file is the problem because i tried in ODIN that file alone and it FAILED. Also i tried 6.0 Software and the same thing. Also Stock Firmware the same result. BL keeps failing on ODIN.
Please i really need help. thanks in advance to anyone for time and efforts

Thank you for replying to my issue. I already tried 2 of those links you have provided. Also posted my question to the last link, still waiting for any answer hopefully.
While i was trying to fix my phone today i notice that TWRP recovery was still there. I have no clue whatsoever how TWRP is still on my phone, because i have been formatting the phone so many times trying to fix the issue of BL file and never installed back the TWRP. Perhaps is the TWRP who is preventing the BL file being install on the phone. What's your guess ? do you have any good idea how to remove/ uninstall TWRP from my phone ? thanks again

Here's 1 last thread that I had located that may hopefully be helpful to you and, if needed, post your question within it for some member guidance.

Thanks to your HELP finally it worked. I was able to flash BL and CP files at first and then all 4 files together. Saying only thank you is very small compare to the big relief you have provided. Truly and Sincerely THANK YOU.
The last 2 things i will ask from you, as there are very unsafe methods out there:
1) How can i reverse safely to the STOCK Firmware, is there any specific procedure ?
2) Now the Phone is sitting on Nougat 7.0 version (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/VMC/download/G930W8VLS3BRA2/205626/ ) which is the latest for my phone, Could you advise any safe method to root this version ?
thanks again for your time and efforts. all the best. peace

Sm-n920v root method plox?

How is everyone doing
Sooo...I have a couple questions about the rooting of the SM-N920V (Verizon Note 5)
From what I've read from past threads, it is impossible to root but pretty much all of them went inactive about a year ago. I have found Odin files from CF and various websites/forums/blogs and was able to tinker with a lot of them (I had all my files backed up so I had some freedom) ranging to Android 6.0.1 to 7.0, but unfortunately to no success :crying: If you DO NOT have this phone I will volunteer mine as a test subject as all my stuff are backed up. Thanks guys! :laugh:

Oh ok mate

Patching boot.img (via Magisk Mod.) to flash in odin not working?

hopefully I'm posting in the right spot: Someone, Please help me get root. I have a Samsung J3 (J327a) and I'm trying to root it. i have no custom recovery, but I read that if you use Magisk Manager to patch the original stock boot.img of your firmware (and output to img.tar) that it would be flashable in Odin. I'm pretty sure I followed all steps to the T. can someone help me and show me where ive gone wrong?

Is there no way to root this device?

Do you Factory Reset after updating to a new version of Android?

Hello
They seems to be mixed info on the internet based on this question! My old HTC 10 started playing up with its battery life and for the first time since owning it "2 years" I did a factory reset, this fixed the battery life
Was this because I never reset after each new Android upgrade?

Hello
My Question isn't based on this device only. Rather than a general question about Android. If you google about you find so meany mixed opinions around if you should or shouldn't factory reset after each update. So i thought I would see what the XDA community think.

Okay then... I really can't provide input for this myself but, If you had a question regarding the "Android" in general, I would suggest/recommend that you phrase your question in that manner because your question is phrased in such a way that it looks like it's related specifically to your device.
You should be able to obtain some member guidance within one of the following General Q&A threads on the Forum that may result in a better chance for a response from one of the more experienced contributors there.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259645
Just be sure that your question is as specific as possible and also mention that it's a General Question regarding the Android and not the Device Specifically.
Don't be surprised if the responses may end up as Device Specific depending upon the assistance/feedback/guidance provided to you.
I wish you the best of luck!
