Download official rom from:
Code:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5100
or
Code:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/?
and flash it by Odin program.
Personaly I think Android without root is *** Generally Tab2 have horrible lags and should bee boost by custom modifications...
I recommend you use new custom roms with KK 4.4.2
Ok i am thinking about root could you give me some links to a tutorial of how to root this device an what i neeed to get kitkat

Easiest way is to just flash a custom recovery with Odin and installing a custom Rom.

No. Sammobile is for official (Samsung) builds. One can use Odin without root. Sammobile even gives the steps to get it done. Achieving root grants you access to ALL files (system and otherwise) so one can flash custom ROM's and other mods. Of course, having that kind of access means you can brick your Tab as well. I really suggest reading as much as you can about root and custom ROM's before you do such a thing. Knowledge is power when it comes to the root game.

Ive googled this and im just getting confused on how to unroot this thing. Im no stranger to rooting and flashing ( my samsung infuse 4g is rooted and flashed with miui) but i keep getting confused in these other threads

If she wants to update and since the tablet is already rooted why not throw a recovery on it (if its not) and flash a custom ICS rom and give the better then stock performance?
But, what is your problem? When you do a OTA update, ull just loose ur root. Also, as said above, u should try a custom ROM, coz some of them are really much better than stock(like FLEXREAPER).
If you put Cyanogenmod there is a setting to disable root for apps and/or adb
Check this thread, might be an easy way for you.

This is about 3 builds back from ICS. Install the stock rom in CWM recovery and will put you back to complete stock. Then do the updates.

How do you root the Verizon GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 running JB 4.1.2? Just picked up my device today and it auto updated while I was gone from the home..
Look at the root/bootloader/recovery thread in the Development. Quick search goes a long way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=verizon%20galaxy%20tab%202%20root
How do I get rid of this Custom icon with an unlock icon that shows up when my device boots? On my S3 I just had to unlock the bootloader to get rid of it. How do I do that on the Tab?
Did you follow all the steps in the root/BOOTLOADER/recovery thread?

All I wanted to do was root the device so I did not do any of the unlocking stuff. Do I need to unlock like I had to on my S3 to get rid of the custom unlock icon on boot?

Hey Mr. Hyde
I found your thread here on rooting the VZW tab 2 7.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558
And was wondering if it works for the VZW tab 2 10.1, SCH-i915
I've been scouring this site for months now and still have yet to find a working root. Thanks!
This is a system image from the i705. It MIGHT be compatible with the 915, but I can't say nor do I recommend it unless you get have a stock odin image to flash back to.
Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app
Ahh ok thanks! I'm looking for a link on how to make my own stock rom from my i915 because I haven't been able to find any stock roms for it on the forums so far. Just gotta figure out how to do that haha.
Is there a stock image for the I705?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Only the stock rooted version. No leaked Odin firmware unfortunately.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium HD app
So if anything happens I can always Odin the stock rooted version right?

I just hope it can still get OTA updates. Nut then we would need another custom kernel wouldn't we? OTA rootkeeper would keep the root.
Another custom kernel for ota? Nah, Just wait for one of us to rape the ota and make it safe for custom users then wait for updated builds.

Sorry for barging in, but.. really? S4 root = no updates? in the GN I remember getting updates regularly with root (before I went CM)
Cf-auto root, and reset device status to offical by triangle away in order to receive OTA, but you can just use odin to flash any firmware for update

Ota make sense if you are in region where ota first hit updates. For me it tames few weeks for official updates come to my carrier. Custom rom is great thing . In most cases you will see new updates here before ota hit your region

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out a few things with the S4 and read a lot of stuff but I have a few unanswered question.
I come from using NExus phones since Nexus 1. Unlock Phone, install CWM and then use it to flash roms or rooting scripts.
Now, I have S4. I am still with their STOCK on I337M (Canadian Model) and I rooted using CF-Auto-Root and ODIN.
What I don't understand, is:
- Can I flash CWM and then just use CWM and SuperSU-vx.xx.zip to root? Why Use Odin?
- Now that I am rooted, if I new SAMSUNG firmware comes along, I am assuming it will fail, I will have to unroot and then apply firmware and then root again? How do I unroot? "Full Unroot" from the option in the app just like the Nexus phones?
- S4 has a counter from what I read, but lot's of warning about bricking phone is that only active on Samsung stock? What if I flash a google stock?
- Can I just use Rom Manager Pro as I used to with Nexus devices...
if I flash CWM, is it replacing ODIN? Is odin a recovery like Odin! If anyone can point out and explain the difference between CWM , ODIN, Nexus phones and S4 it would be great...
I know that now when I go to download mode (Is that like fastboot?) it shows binary as being custom, but I don't get a yellow triangle when I boot...
Thanks for any info regarding explaining what ODIN is...
I also noticed although I have 16GB phone, 6.38GB is system! That is huge! Is that normal?
There are some nice features that I would not like to lose, so I stuck with samsung and just use NOVA home screen...
This is actually the "ATT Galaxy S4Active" forum. S4 forum will have answers to all your S4 questions.

I just went through the un root because I was only using it for one thing. I ended up flashing the original ROM using Odin then doing a factory reset and cache wipe. Now waiting for the update not sure I will root until S4 is not longer updated by Samsung.

Hi,
Look HERE
OTA will remove root,and the latest will lock down your bootloader.
Hi
I have AMG1... I think this is the latest one but I was able to root.. Will locking boot loader prevent rooting.. Could it be another one for at only?
Thanks
Note: yes. I did notice chainfires note.. But he doesn't say what load is the latest.. There are so many Samsung s4 models devices.. Each with different models its so confusing

Hey, I have some questions:
1. Can you install pure Android which comes with i9505G on i9505?
2. How long will Google make these updates for Galaxy S4? 18 months like with other Nexus devices?
1. Yes but only through custom roms.
2. Samsung push the updates to the s4 google edition. Who knows for how long.
Okay, is it easy to install ROMs and kernels on this device? Is it easy to brick it?

It's easier than HTC in general. Cf auto root did it for me. Odin flashing is very easy. I'm running echoe KitKat google edition and I'm very happy with it!

That is good to hear. Is there any custom ROM which has working IR blaster? I read about it from Cyanogenmod wiki and apparently, it doesn't work on CM.
Nearly all of them do. Just check out their descriptions. I'm using echoe rom, love it.

I read about something called knox which Samsung is putting on newer firmwares. What does that do exactly? Does it make flashing custom kernels and roms impossible, if I don't want to lose warranty?
Check out the knox sticky in this forum.
