Made it through Step 5, not sure what to do next

Howdy I have a older AT&T Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 SGH-i497 Android 4.2.2
I followed the steps on forum thread Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Development -->(ODIN + CWM 6 + ROOT + Stock) ATT / TMOBILE Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 {} {SGH-T779} by Childofthehorn
Well I made it through step 5, at least! (Odin displays green “Passed!”)
But the following steps:
6. Backup your existing image
7. Flash SuperSu from SDcard
8. WInning.
here's where I'm at:
(see attached)
strangely there is no button for attachment on the Editor Are attachments allowed on this forum? Peculiar!
Only choices on the Recovery screen are
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Don't know how to "back up your existing image"
or "Flash SuperSU from SDcard."
(but I do have the SuperSU apk on the SDcard though; do I select "apply update from external storage"?)
How do I know I have root? Odin said "Passed!" in green, but I'm not sure what that entails. -- I don't want to use any of those root checkers on Google Play because they all appear to ad-filled junk.*
Do I have CWM 6 by this process? How can I tell?
Is it possible to upgrade to KitKat? or is the P5113's processor not capable of it (or something else prevents having KitKat)
Not sure what I should do next.
Thanks everyone!

After Odin says Passed did you let the tab reboot to the ROM? If so the ROM probably replaced CWM with stock recovery (stock ROMs tend to do this), so what you need to do is flash the recovery again via Odin, but once it completes immediately reboot to recovery using the key combination, do not let the ROM boot. Once the recovery has loaded it should automatically disable the recovery replacement system in the ROM, and you'll be able to proceed to step 6.

Do you uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time? With those enabled all Odin said was Reset! in blue.
For the 3rd step:
Childofthehorn says:
3. Open Odin (as administrator) and hit the "PDA" button, remember to uncheck the reset
I assume he means F. Rest Time in the Odin options tab

Seems to reboot immediately after Odin finishes, happens too fast; there's no time to reboot into recovery mode with the power+vol.

Just follow what the instructions said, but uncheck Auto Reboot. Then, once Odin is done, force reboot the tab by holding both power and vol button down for about 10 secs (until it reboots), then release the power button while still holding the vol button.

Root Help

Hi, I have an SM-G930F. It used to be rooted, but i had to restore it using smart switch. I am now trying to root it using the same method i used before with odin, but i keep getting a message saying Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing. Please help.

Are you sure you aren't using CF Auto Root that isn't for a previous Security Patch? If you're using an up-to-date one then here's another way around it, but you will require a custom recovery first:
1) *Download the latest TWRP for your phone (I believe this one should be the one for you https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/twrp-3.0.2-4-herolte.img.html)
2) Flash the image through the 'AP' tab
3) Go onto the options of the Odin program and untick 'Auto-Reboot'
4) Hit start and it should take like a 1 min to flash through
5) Hold the Volume Down + Power + Home simultaneously
6) When the screen goes black or you see the Samsung Splash Screen, hold Vol Up + Home + Power and you should boot into custom recovery
7) Go onto 'Wipe' and 'Format Data'
8) You should still be able to transfer files to your phone while in recovery, so download the SuperSU zip onto your PC and move into SD card and flash it through
9) Download root checker to see if its all worked out
10) Let me know if you have any problems
*Make sure OEM Unlock is on*

i got the Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing with this method. I was able to install recovery through the twrp app but something is not right, it seems that my storage is not mounted

Try flashing stock rom to get a fresh start. Then CF autoroot again. Back anything up you want to keep obviously.

If you are on Nougat cf auto root doesn't work you have to flash a custom recovery and then root using SR2 SuperSu or later the current lastest is SR3 I think my sm-g930f is Nougat but if you also are then there's no point in rooting because most things don't work like Lucky Patcher Xposed Macrodroid there are only the sound mods and titanium backup

Help installing twrp sm-g920f 7.0

I try to install twrp through odin but after the process is done it says in the recovery "no command" then go to the android recovery.

1. Download TWRP: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/
2. Start Odin as Admin
3. Boot Device into Download Mode
4. Connect your S6 to PC (Odin should show "Com 1" for example)
5. Click on "AP" and then choose twrp
6. Deactivate Auto reboot in odin
7. Flash it
8. When its done, hold Volume Down + power
9. Directly after screen goes black, make volume up + homebutton + Power
10. Now it should be flashed

thankyou

Root is not needed. You can download any rom, Noble Experience for example, and then you go into recovery. But make a nandroid backup. Then choose the rom, follow aroma installer instructions. After that, you can flash a custom kernel like noxx. For root, use Magisk. You can find everything here in xda

Root (as a Magisk) will be depends because that's will be at Stuck of Only Recovery anyway in without Magisk... - Beside of "Auto Reboot" or Not: Doesn't be have a difference.

Backup is require or not

Is there anyway to flash TWRP without ODIN or root , as I have no access to a PC?

Nope

here`s the twrp for j23g
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p-3-0-2-1-samsung-galaxy-j2-sm-j200h-t3486994
and for root Just use magisk, it works on almost all smartphones and has much more features.

problems faced and solns found
1. During twrp flashing using odin, my stock recovery kept patching the twrp after reboots. So i couldn't install twrp succesfully. To fix this I unchecked "reboot" option in odin (thanks to another xda rooting guide)and switched off device manually after flashing. Then booted into recovery by pressing "home+vol up+power". this time stock rom was gone and twrp was there to welcome me.
2. i ended up in a bootloop after flashing the aforementioned superuser zip file. Instead i flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip and fixed the bootloop.
Note- My device is Samsung Galaxy j200-G.
