Hi Guys,

Did anyone find a way to root this tab without increase flash binary counter?
Don't want to avoid warranty...

currently I think there's no other way, on a side note have anyone try "triangle away" apps that can remove binary flash counter? will this work with GT2? or do we have to use the USB JIG?

So far as i know, triangle away is for Exynos based processors & chainfire himself stated not to try it on the non listed devices... but i also hope chainfire will include support for p31xx in the future :fingers-crossed:

Hi Guys,
Thanks tapan15in for giving us the the detailed Guide for CWM flash and Rootin GT-P3100

here is my 2 paise(aka 2cent) Guide for rooting the GT-P3100 with latest ROM and CWM

Step -1: :cyclops: Download the latest Android 4.0.4 ROM[P3100DDBLF2] from SamFirmware.com
[Good if u register]P3100DDBLF2.
Step 0: Download ODIN 1.85 and cwm recovery and root flash (attached)
ODIN N CWM
Step 1: Copy the attached zip file to external microsd card and load it into your device (Keep in mind external SD not internal memory)
Now Boot your Device in Download Mode and Flash The P3100DDBLF2 ROM using ODIN (for instructions on ODIN read first POST)

Step 2: Once the New ROM(Andoid 4.0.4) is Installed and rebooted... boot your device again into Download Mode. Now in this time use ODIN to flash the downloaded CWM Recovery(recovery.tar.md5) (IN PDA)

Step 3: Now Boot your Device to Recovery:fingers-crossed: CWM will be loaded. In CWM select install zip from sdcard --> select the copied zip file --> reboot

STEP 4: :D ENJOY your ROOTED Android 4.0.4 Device :D

P.S: :rolleyes: Since CWM is flashed Software Update though downloads any new update but will fail to install...
FIX: Look for Updated ROM from samfirmware.com regularly and flash it in ODIN. Now ROM flashes will only update the existing installation (Ain't NO affects)

Click to collapse

Thanks, I managed to root my P3100 at last after several previous attempt failed (due to update via OTA to 4.0.4 prior installing CWM Recovery).

no offense but there are no solution for it so far, not that nobody care... we have no usb jig support, no triangleaway support(yet)... only mobile odin is on the way, i know the app cannot reset binary counter but atleast it won't increase flash binary counter... :)

I think we willl never get usb jig support and triangleaway support, so forget it
What I am trying to find is a way of only rooting and then I can use mobile Odin (Chainfire already developing for GT-P31XX) to flash custom kernels without increase flash binary counter.

Things that already exists for:
- Galaxy SII -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

- Galaxy Note -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

But I am not a developer... :crying:

Help please

Guys, I received my 3113 yesterday and attemped to Root?Flash CWM this morning. I went step by step even making sure I downloaded the correct CWM for 4.4. I was able to flash CWM, ran the update file to root and it all went perfectly until I rebooted the tablet. I am now stuck in a bootloop but can get into CWM and the download area on the tablet. I tried to do a CWM backup but there was an issue backing up data. The backup did finish just the data issue. I don't know what to do or try next! Any ideas as Im totally lost... :confused:

I also tried a factory reset from CWM but still getting the bootloop.

try download [GT-P3113][4.0.3] - Stock Rooted De-Odexed - Base: IML74K.P3113UEALD3, transfer to your sdcard, then flash in CWM

or

download stock firmware P3113 of your choice or here, boot to download mode, then flash firmware via Odin

all the best :fingers-crossed:

    Hello Guys,

    Before few days i bought samsung galaxy tab2 p3100. P3100 is the asian version of tab2 which also include 3g+wifi+gsm.

    After much searching and testing i managed to flash a cwm and was able to root my Tab.

    A BIG FAT WARNING, I MAKE NO GUARANTEES THIS WILL NOT BRICK YOUR TAB, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

    So i thought that many p3100 users are still waiting for a proper guide so here it is:

    HOW TO FLASH CWM :

    First of all download the odin attached and extract it to a folder on your pc/laptop where you can find it.

    Now download the expresso_recovery.tar file from the below mentioned link and also download the update.zip file attached.

    Put your tab in to download mode[Volume down+power on button]

    Start odin by clicking odin.exe.

    In odin just tick on auto reboot and thats all. If you see any ticks in any boxes except this just untick it.

    Now connect your tab via usb and the odin will detect your tab. It will be in yellow colour when it is detected.

    Now in odin in pda select the expresso_recovery.tar file.

    After that just press start.

    When the flashing is done you will see a green colour and it will be saying pass this means the cwm has been flashed.

    Just check if the cwm is working by putting your tab in to recovery mode[volume up+power on button]

    Update : Guys you can also use the TWRP TOUCH RECOVERY by "teamw" & ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 by "codeworkx".

    ScreenShots, Cwm File & the original thread link posted below.

    HOW TO ROOT

    For rooting just put the update.zip file in your external sd card of your tab.

    After that just put your tab in custom recovery mode.

    You will get an option to select the file from external sd card.

    Than select the update.zip file and you tab will be rooted and will reboot.

    To check if its rooted just see in the applications menu if you are getting superuser app.

    Enjoyyyy...

    Hi guys, I'm about to do this on my nieces old tab 2. I'm going to root and then install Lineage 14.1, what is the best/preferred method of rooting at this point?

    It's the Tab 2 3110 Wi-Fi model, I'm a bit confused, is Odin still the method used to install TWRP 3.2.2.0?
