E. Restore to stock
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Root stock ICS or JB
This should root any gtab2 10.1 or 7.0 model running ICS or JB. It will not wipe any data.
1. Download and install if you don't already have them:
SAMSUNG KIES
Odin v1.83
2. Download the correct ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) for your device according to model number:
CWM6 for p5100
CWM6 for p5110
CWM6 for p5113
CWM6 for p3100
CWM6 for p3110 and p3113
3. Put the SuperSU installer zip on your MicroSD card or internal storage.
4. Turn off the tablet
5. Hold volume UP (away from power button) for a few seconds
6. Volume DOWN (towards the power button) to confirm that you want to enter download mode
7. Open ODIN
8. Plug in your tablet. A box in ODIN should turn yellow.
9. Click PDA and browse to the recovery file you downloaded in step two.
10. Uncheck Auto Reboot In ODIN
11. Click Start.
12. Hold power until the screen goes black to get out of download mode. Hold power and volume down until you see the "Galaxy Tab 2" screen. If you mess up and the tablet boots normally, start over from step four. If your recovery says "stock recovery <3e>", then you missed a button combo when booting and Clockworkmod was overwritten by your ROM. No harm done, just start over from step 4.
13. Use the volume buttons to navigate to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard (or internal storage)
14. Select the zip file you downloaded in step 3 and install it.
15. Click "reboot system now"
16. If you're on 4.0.4 or 4.1.1, you will see a message asking you if you want to delete the OEM/stock recovey. Say yes.
16. You should be rooted!
NOTE: CWM recovery can deleted if you perform a normal boot when your tab is on the 4.0.4 or 4.1 stock ROM. If your recovery is deleted, perform steps 4-12 again to get it back.

p5100: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5100/
p5110: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5110/
p5113: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5113/
p3100: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P3100/ (PIT files: 16Gb p3100, 8GB p3100
p3113: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P3110/
p3110: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P3113/
Note: for more language options and versions of stock ROM's for the tab 10, go here.
1. Download the stock firmware matching your carrier/region for your device from the correct link above. This will take a long time. When it's finished, unzip or unrar it.
2. If and only if your device is currently bricked and hasn't been fixed by other stock restore attempts, AND your ROM includes a .pit file, click PIT and open the .pit file you downloaded, and check Re-Partition in ODIN. Skip to step 4.
3. Reboot into recovery and select wipe data/factory reset.
4. Reboot into Download Mode.
5. click PDA and find the stock file (PDA/PLATFORM file, the largest one).
6. OPTIONAL: if you want to flash the bootloader and/or csc, you can select them as well. If you don't know what that means, you don't need to do it.
7. Click Start.
8. Try to boot the tablet. If it hangs, do not panic, just repeat step 2.
9. Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
Using Mobile ODIN is recommended for advanced users only. You must have root.
Using Mobile ODIN will NOT increase your flash counter, and therefore your warranty will remain intact.
1. Extract or copy the file you want to flash to your tablet. If you're flashing a ROM, you only want the PLATFORM/PDA file (.tar.md5) (almost always the largest file)
NOTE: There are no .pit files in Mobile ODIN. They are installed along with your flashkernel.
2. Download either Mobile ODIN pro ($5) OR Mobile ODIN lite (does not include EverRoot, so you will need to re-root using ODIN) and the p51xx FlashKernel from here.
3. Click on Open File... in Mobile ODIN and find the file you want to flash.
4. If you're flashing a ROM, click Recovery and click clear on the window that pops up.
5. If applicable, enable EverRoot.
6. Select both Wipe data and cache and Wipe Dalvik cache
7. Click flash firmware.
THANKS: weltwon and Chainfire for root & unroot method, codeworkx for the newer versions of CWM, count dooku for discovering than TW ROM's don't include a kernel the hard way, invisiblek for testing stock ROM on p5113, and all you devs who make custom ROM's and kernels.
If this guide has helped you, please hit the thanks button.
Great work!! Thank you!
New Recovery
There is a new one from here without double image from here and is a bit faster link here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722063

GT-P5100_XEO_P5100XWALD7_P5100XXLD7_P5100OXXALD9.rar
this link is unable
If you mean the stock ROM's, both of those links work!
Well, crap
I just bought a GT-P5113 from Fry's yesterday and followed your instructions down to the letter. I was only able to get CM9 working but it is having wifi issues (many apps give `fail to download` errors when they download something on the internet - like swiftkey getting language packs)
CleanROM (1.0 and 1.1) and InfectedROM both don't get past the "Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen. I even let it sit for an hour to see if something would resolve but it doesn't. I've cleared data, cache, dalvik, etc before each install. I reflashed CWM like 4 times, I've formatted everything except the kitchen sink, I've repaired permissions, nothing.
I wish wish WISH I had a backup of the stock rom to go to as it was a better option than what Im stuck with now (the experimental nightly of CM9)
Is anyone having the same problem and figured it out or am I just going to have to wait until better ROMs come out? :-/
You're going to have to be the tester for the restore to stock procedure above.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same predicament. CleanRom hangs, CM9 is buggy. Peel cannot detect the IR blaster. Pulse and galary are not showing images.
I wonder is there is a page were I can check what bugs have been found and what changes have been made in CM9 nightly?
Thanks.
You can try InfectedROM. I used it and had zero issues.
Thanks MultipleMonomials for the suggestion. Just tried it, but this infectedRom is freezing on the SamsungGalaxyTab2 10.1 boot screen as well. I've waited for 5minutes for something to happen. So I guess I'll hop back to my CM9 backup.
(If only I had a stock backup... well a lesson learned.)
Oh. That's what you meant when you said Cleanrom hung. You might try reflashing a TW kernel (i.e. ADB fix) after flashing InfectedROM. And I don't believe any custom ROM's have support for the IR blaster (I might be wrong).
If i wanted to return to the stock rom on the 7.0 (GT-P3113) which one should I download?
This guide isn't for the tab 7.0.
So to return to stock i have to install (p5110 taiwan android, the link that is in the first page in 4th point *Return TO stock*) even if i am italian because why it is called *Taiwan android p5110* ??!
thx
thanks for your share

Your suggestion worked and most of the stuff is back to normal. Even Peel is starting up again. Just one other item I hope you have a good suggestion for. My Gallery app is not stating up, I complains about not enough memory. I suspect this is due to some privilege issue. I had created a tmp folder on the internal SD to hold the CM9 zip. I cannot delete the folder. If I access the DCIM folder I can't delete any of the image files. Thus I suspect an issue with the privileges.
I ran the fix permissions option in the Clockwork menu, and also ran some other permission fixer of google play. But they did not fix the privileges with which I had issues. I searched the forum for a similar issue & solution, but was unable to find it.
Do you have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!
Hi i am italian and i have P5110 what i have to download and install to return to stock with polaris office, music read hub and simliar ????
count dooku, it looks like your sdcard is corrupted. Get a USB MicroSD reader (you really should have one anyway) and copy your sdcard to your computer. (now's a good time to delete that folder) Then, reformat the card using Windows. Lastly, copy the files back to your sdcard.
Andrew1998, just flash the p5110 stock package.
Well, I know there are lot of helpful guides out there on how to install cyanogenmod but not everybody gets what he's looking for. I recently searched a lot of sites, forums, and lot of xda posts for installing cyanogenmod 11 M7. And i finally found few posts that helped me.
With these posts one can get an idea about how to flash a kernel, how to back up the data, and how to flash a custom ROM on a S2. Pretty helpful...isn't it? All thanks to these guys - @avirk , @-Grift- @banjara @Vivek_Neel @Phil3759 .
The steps might fit correct for some.. where there might be some variations for others. I myself didn't find some steps from the guide i followed while backing up my data. But still.. i went for it. And it was good enuf.
So here are the steps that i followed... n i think which might help some one like me out there.

Where are /format system and /format preload??? If you are on 4.1.2 stock you need to do a full wipe.
Flash latest philz kernel in stock recovery, then reboot into recovery again(hold 3 buttons) and flash latest Philz CWM Touch recovery(6.0.4.8!). Then do a full wipe and flash a custom rom and gapps.

I Agree with Zile.
I installed Cyano with similar steps and I finished with an useless phone with system partition full.
format system and preload are mandatory moving from stock to cyano in my opinion.

What happened with me was.. i didn't find the preload thing while making my backup.
So i missed some steps from the guide which i followed. I'll be trying it again when cm11 m8 will be out.
May be that time i can find the preload section.

Go ahead and take your pick

You can link your above post for the link to the GApps section in the OP, then you'll not get other questions as to the link for GApps.... Also, as said by @Zile995, it is better if you include formatting system and preload too in your guide as not doing so may cause issues and doing so is the best way to full wipe your system for fresh flashing without issues...
And yes...Great work.... :good:

Can I boot into system after installing 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 and later install new rom?
Would any of you guys be able to help me (a rookie when it comes to this) with these Q's in my thread about CyanogenMod?
This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/stock-rom-to-cyanogenmod-import-sms-t2903491
Btw, isn't it easiest to acquire CyanogenMod by using the CyanogenMod Installler for the i9100?

Never had this problem bud. I installed M9 in the same way but google process failures were never encountered.
I'm afraid i might not be of any use here but would suggest one thing that stick to 10.1 till u find an answer to this.
And regarding your problem..... These guys( @avirk , @banjara , @-Grift- , @Vivek_Neel , @Phil3759 ) might be able to help you out. They helped me too.

I guess it should be ok to boot into the system because you'd be installing the recovery and if the recovery is compatible with the ROM and won't give any problem then you can. But still.. always take a second opinion before you try because... even I'm a learner.
Hi ALL,
Good day!
I'm new in an Android Phone and just Rooted my device yesterday using the KingRoot.
I just wondering how to use a custom ROM available here in XDA in my Samsung Note III.
If there's a link on where I can review or follow the procedure, could you please redirect me.
I've already looked/searched for it but unfortunately, I can't get the answers on my own.
thanks in advance!
Mark

You choose a custom rom you read and understand the rom and its instructions then flash .
Many roms have how to videos .
Basics
Download the Rom
Enter Recovery Mode
Do a Full Wipe
Install The Rom
Reboot - The first boot can take up to 10 min

Is there any link also in doing the flash.. (apology for spoon feeding)
I just don't know how or where to start.. lol
TIA!
First step should be install a custom recovery. For example TWRP. You can't install with stock recovery.
Google : twrp for note 3 xda
Then read, read and install it.
Here is the link, you can see video.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245
Find a rom i development forums here and look for instructions there.
Steps....
-1. I am not responsible for any damage caused. This is how I learned and what I taught my friends using Sammy.
0. Backup all your data to SD card or PC.
1. go to https://twrp.me/Devices/ and search your device model and download the latest .tar file (something like 4.4.tar)
2. search download and install Kies in your PC, this is for getting all Samsung drivers.
3. search download and extract "odin 3.0.9" in a folder in your pc.
4. press Volume Down + Home + Power and get into Download mode (you'll have to press Volume Up if it asks to continue)
5. Now phone will show "Downloading", Run "Odin.exe" from odin folder and Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
6. Odin will detect your phone in blue color in first slot, select the downloaded .tar file in Odin and click start
7. do not disconnect the phone as it will restart.
8. after restarting, remove phone. then shutdown.. press Volume Up + Home + power and get into recovery. (TWRP) (click Reboot System and use as normal)
9. Download your favorite (flashable zip of) ROM, click Wipe (select all in TWRP, will erase all data)
10. After successful wipe, click install, select ROM zip from SD card and follow onscreen instructions.
11. After install, go to Wipe or Advanced Wipe and "Clear Dalvik Cache"
12. Reboot System. Enjoy
This Fix is ONLY for TouchWiz based ROMs, running 5.x or above.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have latest Custom Recovery (TWRP Recommended).
2. Make a Nandroid backup (Optional).
3. Go to Recovery , Tap 'Install', choose the S Planner Fix.zip (Download from here)
4. When this Installer asks, which files you want to Install, Tick the 'Install All' option.
5. Reboot System. Enjoy
If you have any problem after installing this zip, Try installing the zip again and when finished installation, Click 'Wipe Cache/Dalvik'.
Tested only on 9505, But I hope it'll work on other variants too

2) BACKUP DATA
Install Samsung USB drivers (you unzipped earlier).
Then plug phone to PC in File transfer mode.
Collect all .jpg or .mp4
Use Google built-in cloud to backup apps like SMS Backup & Restore to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Backup your WhatsApp messages in Google Drive.
Everything else: podcasts, Authenticators, TODOs etc...
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Make sure you have latest official updates for your phone:
Connect to Wifi and go to Settings > About device > Software update > Update now
### BACKUP NOW, you will lose everything.
3) FLASH TWRP 3.7 RECOVERY
Go to Settings > About phone.
Tap 7 times on Build number item to unlock Developer options.
Go to Settings > Developer options, switch OEM unlock ON.
Shut down phone.
Boot in Download Mode: hold Home + Power + Volume- until you see Samsung's logo and release all buttons.
Confirm access to Download mode by pressing Volume+.
Phone now displays "Download mode, do not turn off target".
Connect phone in USB, wait for drivers installation.
Then launch Odin.exe (included in my archive) and wait for Odin indicator ID:COM to become blue.
In options: Verify re-partition and Auto Reboot are NOT ticked while F. Reset Time is ticked.
In AP > select twrp-3.6.2_9-0-herolte.img.tar
### Same recovery for Korean models (G930S/K/L variants)
### Warranty will be Void after next click ###
Click Start.
Wait until flash Success message appears.
Unplug phone.
Restart phone to recovery :
- hold Power + Home + Volume- until phone screen becomes black.
- and immediatly switch from Volume- to Volume+ (still holding Power + Home) to land in TWRP recovery.
### If Android launches, hold 3 buttons until phone restarts and Samsung logo appears.
4) BACKUP IMEI PARTITION AND SYSTEM (Nandroid backup)
Boot in Recovery Mode : Hold Home + Power + Volume+ until you see Samsung's logo then release and wait a few seconds for TWRP recovery to boot.
Recovery asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Wipe > Format Data.
Type: yes and confirm with bottom right check icon.
Encryption is removed. You can now access partitions.
### If you miss this step you won't have access to any partition.
Back to home menu > Backup.
You can now select the partitions you want to save.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup Boot, System, Cache, Baseband and EFS partitions. In case of problem, you will have your phone in its original state.
Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
Save backup: still under TWRP recovery, connect phone to PC.
Go to Mount menu and check Data partition is checked and MTB button is on "Disable MTP" state.
From Windows explorer, access phones memory and copy-paste the TWRP folder (located in root folder, beside DCIM and Music folders) somewhere safe on your computer.
5) FORMAT PARTITIONS
### Make sure you copied TWRP backup from internal memory to somewhere safe.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup from step 2), then Swipe to Wipe.
Back to TWRP home screen, go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
On next launch, check the checkbox to remember choice and swipe to allow modifications.
6) FLASH ROM, (MAGISK ROOT) AND GAPPS
Back to TWRP main menu, go to Mount menu again to connect phone to PC again.
Connect phone to PC and use Windows explorer to copy files on phone's internal memory.
Copy TWRP folder from your phone to somewhere safe on PC.
This backup can restore your phone to its original Samsung state.
Copy files of ROM + GApps + Magisk on phone.
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
Optional for root: Add More zips > Magisk*.zip
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
After restart, go to Install, select bitgapps*.zip and swipe to flash.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install
Wait for the phone to boot during 5 minutes.
7) ROOT ACCESS (OPTIONAL)
Configure Android as you like.
Don't try to set fingerprints at first setup. It will crash.
No need for extra work to be root.
Magisk launches with Android.
Superuser permissions can be managed from Magisk Manager app.
8) TWEAKS
- Calibrate battery: https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Battery_Calibration
- Set dark Mode to improve battery by 30%
Settings > Display > Dark theme.
- For better battery, remove Always on display
Settings > Display > Screen saver > Desactivated
- Activate Developer options
Go to Settings > About.
At bottom, tap 7 times on Build number. You activated Developer options.
Go to Settings > System > Avdanced > Developer options.
- Change screen definition for low GPU/CPU usage: from 1440x2560 to 1080x1920
You need developer options to enable USB debugging.
Open a terminal where adb.exe from my pack is located.
Plug phone and Authorize USB debugging.
Then type:
Code:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 && adb shell wm density 480
// Defaults 1440x2560 and 640
- Screen sensitivity is too low ?
Try to recalibrate screen sensitivity with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=touchcalibration.favoritappindia&hl=en&gl=US

Hi,
Thanks for sharing.
I'll test your packages and then update tutorial for everyone.
Enjoy.
S7 is damn good.
Hey, thanks for the detailed explanation. Will root and install Lineage in upcoming weekend. Before proceeding with tripping knox, will I be able to use Google Pay and banking apps after installing Lineage ROM? Will wireless charging work? And if I do not want to take backup, will I be able to flash stock firmware in future to revert back to original? There was a time when I was into this stuff rooting and custom ROMS, but now I am too old for it and just being cautious. Thanks again dear.

Hi,
Thanks for your message.
PLEASE make a TWRP backup before flashing, it just takes 2 minutes.
No idea for wireless charging. You may ask in ROM's thread
Normaly banking apps work with Magisk + MagiskHide module

Thanks for this excellent instruction.
Maybe you'd like to consider one small change in part 6 - Flash ROM, Gapps, Magisk.
According to the devs of BitGapps they suggest to do a reboot to recovery after flashing of ROM:
GitHub - BiTGApps/BiTGApps: The main repository of The BiTGApps Project
The main repository of The BiTGApps Project. Contribute to BiTGApps/BiTGApps development by creating an account on GitHub.

I do not know if I understand correctly.
1. Install new rom
2. Wipe Dalvik, Cache
What about BitGapps. Do you install after rom or not?
