Root Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 - another way

---

I just finished using this guide:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25228-how...pdated-052412/

The process works well and doesn't require ADB on the host PC. Some things I noticed:

• I would not install the linked USB drivers. They didn't work for me on XP or Win7. Install the Kies software from:
  http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ow...GT-P3113TSYXAR
  It has the USB drivers. Then you may want to uninstall right away as the program is bloated and worthless in my opinion. Drivers are kept after uninstall (if you don't choose to remove them).
• I could not get my Win7x64 PC to work with the root process. The device was not recognized when it was in download mode. I also could not use the Win7 PC to root my Kindle. I used an XP laptop for the procedure. Not sure what the problem was.
• If your device is not being recognized by Windows while tablet is in download mode, it will not show up in odin.
• The steps include using a secondary sdcard. I already had one. I'm not sure if you could use the internal storage if you don't have an external card.

Otherwise the process was fairly straightforward as far as rooting processes tend to be.

I have had the problem of my Samsung device (i897) not showing up in download mode also. here is what I did.

1 plug phone in in download mode.
2 go to device manager and find the Samsung usb connection and
update drivers. let windows get update from internet. then it will show up.

Settings->System->About device->Build number

I have rooted my device(p3110) in this way on my win7X64 PC
it works perfectly for me~~~~

will this, of course, initialise the tab? sorry for the newbieish question.

Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app

Much appreciated! Works!!!
