[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7" GT-P3110 Full Recover ROM

First of all, let me just say I`ve been admiring the work of the whole comunity for a long time. I am very glad to be a part of it at last.
Now, I`ve been dealing with android phones for about one year, in which I`ve learned a lot with my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000B. A huge part of that process involved failing and trying to fix what I had messed up and one thing that really helped me was that I always had a "full recover" stock Gingerbread rom to flash in case I messed up real bad so all I ever had to do was to reboot my phone in download mode and flash that recovery rom so I could start over.
I just got my hands on a Galaxy Tab 2 7" (GT-P3110) and I am eager to flash a custom rom into it, but I would be much more confortable in doing so if I had a full recover stock rom to rely on in case anything goes bad, just like I`m able to do with my i9000B.
So please, could anyone tell me where I can find such rom? I know the P3100 and the P3110 are quite similar, but I`m not sure I can flash the same rom on both.
Thanks in advance for all the help and please forgive me for any mistakes I might have made writting this, since english isn`t my native language.

You can get the latest stock ROM from Sam mobile.
Just make a full backup if your existing rom first then you can always revert back to that.
I tried all the popular custom roms and stuck with the paranoid version. Its quick and I have had no problems with that one at all.
Best of luck

Thanks a lot!
Is this the one you are talking about? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915065
By the way, I was looking around and found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876482
It seems to be about an official Samsung Jelly Bean ROM which has leaked for indian P3100 owners. Can you please tell me if I can install this one on my P3110? I`m afraid to do anything wrong because these are different models and also because my tablet was purchased in Brazil instead of India.
Thanks and sorry for the noob questions!

[Q] Question about this and if someone can expain this to me

Hello all I am on a sm-n900v Galaxy Note 3 32gb on Stock Android 4.4.2 with towelroot, and I came across this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-pictures2sd-v1-0-6-makes-camera-t2408880 and I do have some questions my first one is does anyone have an knowledge if this is working on 4.4.2 and do I need to install the rom version for this to work along with the xposed framework or what. Any guidance I can be given would be great about this thank you.

I think it might work, no harm in trying it out and seeing?
Also I think you will get more meaningful replies if you just post your question on that same thread

I will give that a try thank you.

[Completed] [Q] Wanting to upgrade but I am a total android newbie

Hello, Ron here.
I have a Cricket Galaxy S4 (i337z)
I am wanting to upgrade to a new OS (right?) other than the one that came with my Cricket phone. (4.4.2 kit kat ?)
I would like to see what Lolipop is like and if possible with out rooting.
I saw some threads about just that but it was for AT&T.
Since AT&T and Cricket are the same now (I think) would that be the same.
I also am not sure what would be better operating system than the 4.4.2 that is OEM on my phone.
I don't know if I want to root or keep it stock.
All I have read just gets me more confused .
From what I have seen the difference between kitkat and lolipop is like Windows 7 and Windows 8 and I absolutely hate Windows 8 . (worst os ever)
Which threads show in depth with step by step by step ( yes I am totally phone IT challenged) how to do this and what are the risks in doing so.
What are the bells and whistles available that are worth it for the upgrade.
Please use layman's terms and no acronyms because I probably would not understand what you are trying to tell my newbie brain.
I am really wanting to learn how to do this stuff and I figure you guys are the ones to point me in the right direction.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts on my behalf.
Ron

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to find answers is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att Although it's not specific to the 1337z there are users of that device here.

Android Update for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - Suggestions and How-to

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this platform and to be honest a bit overwhelmed. Apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.
I should also mention that I'm not too familiar with technical points.
I own an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) which claims its Android version 4.2.2 is still the most recent one for this device.
So I'm looking for a way to update to a newer versuon, at least Android 6.
My first question is which Android version you suggest?
Second one, how exactly do I do this (is there a step by step tutorial)?
Third one what are the risks? I read something about data loss and completely broken devices?
Thank you in advance.

Mate, I'm on the same boat. Same tablet, also overwhelmed The only response to your post points to some custom ROM page but the instructions are not detailed. I thought I had to throw my tablet but it seems like it still has some life to breath if I can get it a newer ROM (many apps are not supported anymore with Android 4.2).
I think the first thing to do is root the device but where to start? I'd prefer using linux with adb, etc.
There is a lot of stuff here. Is there anyone that has taken the time to write a detailed step by step guide somewhere?
BTW, my intention is not only to revive the device but to ditch all Google crap apps. In an ideal world, I would have installed a ROM from /e/ Foundation, but they do not support the device so I guess my next best bet is some custom ROM that uses LineageOS?

Hi,
First you need to root your device and install TWRP recovery:
More info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...final-root-single-step-twrp-recovery-t3404779
It's an old thread but you'll get the idea.
See this one as well:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-2/
You'll need to find the correct version for your model otherwise you'll and up with a nice paperweight.
After this, you'll be able to back up your current ROM and install new ones. Unfortunately, I have a different model of Tab 2 that has no available custom ROM's so I can't say which ROM is better than other. I would read more in the link provided for slim roms.
To get rid of the installed bloatware and even Google apps I used SD Maid. See my thread below with what's left on my tablet (Disclaimer: it's a barebone setup and not all things work so I don't advise going that deep unless you're willing to take the risk of having a bricked tablet. You were warned!):

Forgive me, but I don't know where to start on this forum. I can't post to the Samsung area, because the policies prohibit me from doing so. I just found out that I had originally posted to the new development area, and so I am re-posting. Sorry!
I have an old Galaxy S3 Sprint phone SPH-L710 that is running android 4.4.2 . I'd like to upgrade it to something more useful. The first thing I tried was to load an app called TEXTNOW but it requires at least android 5.0 . Apparently Sprint stopped upgrading android, as I can't find any android above 4.4.2 .
Can anyone point me to an android update to 5.0 or better? If not, can you suggest a custom rom that would be useful for this phone? Since it's an old clunker, I don't mind taking a chance that Odin might brick it. Right now, it pretty much sits on the shelf gathering dust. If I could get 5.0 or perhaps some custom rom, I might be able to load some useful apps.
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts in replying to this post.
