How do i flash recovery for the gt-p5110? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear xda community,
I recently have been given a gt-p5110 to play around with.
Sadly i have not succeed in flashing a rom onto it...
I have some basic knowledge on flashing rom's but so far I hadn't had much luck...
I plan on flashing slimrom7 but I can't even get a proper recovery flashed...
I have tried flashing TWRP recovery using ODIN.
Even tough it says that the recovery is flashed successfully it doesn't appear to be working...
I also tried using ADB but I couldn't maintain a stable connection...
Hopefully someone is able to help me!
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.

After flashing with Odin you need to directly boot into TWRP, else stock rom restores stock recovery at boot.

How?

Thanks for your reply,
How would I do this??
And do you know where I can find the original stock rom + recovery in case I would like to restore it to stock?
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.

Uncheck auto reboot in Odin.
After flashing wait 1 minute.
Disconnect your tablet from PC.
Boot recovery.
That's it
Stock firmware (.tar.md5) most of the time includes stock recovery.img. the .tar.md5 can be flashed with odin too.
you should find stock firmware here for your Device: http://samsung-updates.com

Are you trying to flash a ROM or backup your ROM, the way you have that worded confuses me. Are you using the ROM manager app, because I've never gotten it to work to any degree. If you're trying to flash the CWM kernel you need to do that via Odin.
i am trying to back up the current rom, but in order to do that I have to flash the CWM recovery right? but anyway, I have figured it out. Thank you
Ok glad you got it! Yea you have to use Odin to flash kernels, such as CWM. I believe there is a way to flash kernels off the SD card while booted into recovery mode, but I'm not familiar with it. Just flash that kernel with Odin, boot into recovery (Power button + Volume Up) and you can backup, restore, flash ROMs, etc. Enjoy buddy!
i have install clockworkmode-ginger-gamma on my sam.mini.. then when reboot it wont start.. now my hp canot on... plss... ASAP

I didn't needed. The other method posted makes the S7500L keep rebooting into recovery. So, I flashed stock firmware (S7500LVJLH1) with Odin and start over again, but same result.
I'd flashed again stock firmware and just flash recovery with Odin, then just write Superuser from recovery.
I hadn't time to verify if the problem was with boot.tar or with files that are installed in recovery mode by .bat file.

I got my hands on a gt-s7500t yesterday and started xda searching on how to put a custom rom on it. i tried all the methods listed under s7500 to put cwm in it but none worked and whenevr i tried to enter either through pressing vol "+" "-" home and power it never enetred recovery nor it enetered through adb so i moved onto flashing cwm through s7500L guide. so by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 guide, i flased successfully flashed cwm and the phone was stuck in recovery boot loop.
I successfully rooted by through cwm and even installed a custom rom but the dammit phone never came out of the recovery loop, so i went to the next step and downloaded a stock UK vodafone firmware from sam mobile and tried flashing that since australian s-7500t stock rom is unavailable.
Now odin gave a "fail" meesage when it reached to flashing fat.bin, i tried almost 3 different stock roms but same problem. I took the battery out, and tried starting the phone the phone started but no display, so i connected it to samsung kies hoping kies will have a solution, well as it turned out that when i went into emergency firmware recovery, the device screen magically lit up for few seconds and went dark again.
i was baffled so i decided to repeat the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725198 and flash cwm and boot again. well this time when this completed and phone restarted the phone restarted normally and everything seemed fine, so through adb i went into recovery mode again just to see if all was working fine, but now its the same recovery loop again, have tried wiping the dalvik cache, factory reset and cache reset but nothing happening, HAVENT tried the advanced>recovery reboot> procedure, yet.
now am thinking of two options. first to try install another custom rom and see if that might hellp or since iv got another galaxy ace plus, try to extract the custom s7500T rom out of it somehow, (if u guys can tell me howto, cuz i tried titanium backuo but since it requires root and since i cant get into cwm without using s7500L technique which soft bricks i cant use titanium backup to extract the rom)
Anyone got any idea what to do? is there a pit,bootloader,csc,phone etc files that i can flash through odin rather than flashing a complete package through PDA?
or can i just flash boot.img from a stock rom using PDA and you guys think that will solve the problem>?

Thanks.

This method don't erase your data, just write a custom recovery and add SuperUser app and bin to your system.
The best method to unroot is installing stock firmware package.

Thanks. So does installing stock firmware not write any files to the data partition of android? What about the apps that are included in stock firmware sms app, contacts,call logs, maps etc, will those apps data be lost with installing stock firmware?
---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------
The recovery.img you have is larger than the stock firmware recovery.img. Does this write more data somewhere?

I've been having the exact same problem as you with my S7500L. Boot loop error after installing custom roms. I can, however, install CWM and obtain root without problems.
I really don't understand how the s7500L rom guys developed them... how did they get out of the boot loop.
I tried replacing the boot.img from the custom ROM with one from a stock rom... nothing.

is your system working? what version on android you are running now? stock recovery will work only with stock rom I think... you are in dead end sort of. try flashing twrp recovery, if you succeed, I can provide some backups.

Stuck on Samsung logo screen after flashing bootloader!

Hey guys,
I was previously on xtresolite 2.4 lollipop rom and saw that he had a new rom out based on Marshmellow 6.01.
The instructions for the installation the new rom said to flash the new bootloader, modem and recovery before installing the new rom.
I flashed the bootloader with Odin using the BL button as instructed and how it's stuck on the Samsung Screen. I can still boot into download mode, but that's about it. It won't let me boot into recovery. Doing a bit of research it says to boot into download warning screen and cancel. Then quickly do the recovery buttons (volup, home, power), but it still won't go in.
So now I'm stuck! i'm trying to download the new stock Marshmellow firmware to see if I can install that, but aside from that I'm not sure what else I can do.
Any suggestions? Since I'm still able to use Odin, can I try to re-install the correct bootloader or is that too late? I'm not even sure which bootloader to install now. :crying::crying::crying:
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
kc
as long as you can boot into the download mode, everything's alright. try flashing the latest stock rom for your model. then a new recovery, and then the new xtrestolite rom.
if something fails. do it again.... flash the latest stock rom, and so on.
Just make sure you have the correct model software for your phone and there won't be any issues. Did you backup your imei way back when you rooted on lollipop? If you did then everything will be fine if you didn't, Restore stock ROM and root, then backup your imei, hopefully you won't have any issues with your modem
Try pressing on power + vol down untill the phone shuts down then quickly press home+power+vol up before the phone starts . you will be in recovery try a factory reset then wait for the first boot. Voila !
hey all, just wanted to update. I still couldn't get into recovery, but was able to flash the stock rom and it's working as stock right now. Been using it for the past week or so and no major issues noted. I'm a bit scared to mess around again
Now that I'm on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 rom, do I still need to try and flash the modem and boot loader for it?
Also, now that i'm on stock do I need to unroot again to install the twrp recovery? or can I just go into odin and flash it right away?
Thanks again for the help and suggestions!!!

Stock rom overrides everything so your root is long gone & you now have the latest bootloader & modem already - don't stress & no need to do anything else! If you want custom recovery simply flash with latest TWRP using Odin in download mode (in tar format using AP button). Don't root with TWRP if asked to - instead download latest recovery flash-able SuperSU (ZIP) onto your device & then flash it using TWRP. This will be the safest option for you (with root if you want).
AFAIK one always uses the "AP" button if you wanna flash <anything> with Odin - not the BL button (I've never used this). The rest are for pro's only (of which I'm not one). I'm simply a regular rom flasher & read/study/compare several guides before attempting anything I've never done before with my device. If the overall feeling is not a good one, rule of thumb is I don't proceed until I feel confident enough about what I'm attempting to do.
Good luck.
On my sm-G920I
I flashed the xtresolite ROM without first flashing the bootloader and modem and it worked fine for me, if you back up everything with an otg cable onto a USB then flash the ROM everything should work fine but you will have to wait around 5 minutes for it to boot. If your still waiting after 10-20 minutes then you did something wrong and you can just wipe your entire phone then recover everything from your backup on your USB ????????

Stock recovery?

I tried flashing stock recovery but it fails all the time...So i might be installing wrong stock recovery...GT-920F
If anyone could send me stock recovery i would really appreciate that.
Is there even way to remove TWRP to stock recovery without installing stock rom?
