I have re-written Ayenn13's instructions, which he re-wrote from machx0r.

Give them the credit for the origin of these, I just made them easier to understand (and a little more accurate ).

I also attached the three files you need to this post, just in case the links stop working . (You just have to unzip them using 7-Zip, WinRAR or WinZip, both attachments include the SAME files, I added both .zip and .7z as some people prefer one over the other.)

Instructions for installing Clockwork Recovery and Rooting your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7"

Download recovery.tar.md5.

Copy cwm-root-gtab2.zip to your ext SDCard ("Card" in Windows Explorer).

Download Odin for windows.

Make sure your device is not plugged in via USB.

Make sure your device is in “USB debugging” mode.

Navigate through Menu>Settings>Developer Options and check the “USB debugging” option.

Connect your device to your PC using the USB cable.

Reboot your tablet into download mode. By either one of these options:

Power off the tablet. Hold the Volume Down button and Power button. Volume up to confirm download mode.

If you have adb installed run 'adb reboot download' from a command prompt.

Launch Odin, click PDA and browse to the recovery.tar.md5 file (unless you moved it, it will be in your user downloads folder).

Hit start, when completed your tablet will reboot.

Reboot your tablet into recovery mode. By either one of these options:

Power off the tablet. Hold down the Volume Up button and Power button. When you see the "Galaxy Tab" logo release Power but continue holding Volume Up.

If you have adb installed run 'adb reboot recovery' from a command prompt.

In the CWM menu (the menu will be in the upper left corner of the now landscape mode screen) navigate to "install zip from sdcard" (volume keys navigate) and press power to select.

Select "choose zip from sdcard".

Navigate to the "cmw-root-gtab2.zip" you saved to your sd card earlier (it should be the only option if you have not used any other root methods).

Wait for the install to complete, shouldn't take long.

Select "go back" from the menu at the top, back out two menus then select the reboot device option.

Your device will restart. On the first restart you will see it "Update Android".

??????????

Profit!

Sweetness!

For 1 and 2, in my process both of those programs engaged at one point but were not worth mentioning because they were pretty much what I would call a "delivery shell". Some of the processes were carried out through them.

Thanks for the rewrite

As far as #17 is concerned, what I described in my directions is exactly what happened for me.

Thanks for the rewrite

No problem, just trying to make it fool proof, as I know a lot of people out there aren't as technologically advanced as some of us. Makes sense why you had Steps 1 & 2 in there then, but yea, they're not necessary.

No confusion on step 17

, it's a joke that comes from SouthPark, see below:

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/profit

About

“PROFIT” is used in numbered lists to explain how to reach a goal. The basic template is:

1. Step one
2. Step two
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!!
Origin

This meme comes directly from South Park‘s season 2, episode 17 (30th in total) which aired on December 16th, 1998. In this particular episode, the children’s underwear are being stolen from them by gnomes for the purpose of “profit.”

The process, as explained by thee gnomes goes something like this.

Step 1. Collect underpants.

Step 2. ?

Step 3. PROFIT

The gnomes lack of a business plan is used as a foil to the other main theme of the episode, a focus on large corporations. While the character Tweek’s parents are busy trying to figure out how their small coffee shop will compete with the giant Harbuck’s corporation (Starbucks Parody) the Gnomes illustrate a satire on crazy, unfounded money-making schemes.

Almost as soon as the episodes had aired, journalists were already using the South Park reference to describe the shortcomings of companies that failed in the big dot com collapse. In short, those who failed to develop a coherent strategy for collecting profit were behaving like Underpants Gnomes.

Today, the meme is typically used in forums or comments sections as a response that implies sarcastic disregard for the utility or purpose of a post.

Give that Go Launcher HD for tablets a shot. That is what I use and I friken love it! It is rather bare-bones ATM but it is still technically an alpha build. There are no themes for it yet (not theme SDK yet either... I cannot wait to get my hands on that when they release one)

The one thing I do advise is to make the app draw and home screen icon grid 6x6 IMMEDIATELY. otherwise it it feels really bottom heavy/lopsided.

I use nova launcher looks like stock ics and is smooth so far no lag

Guys, after following the rooting guide a little above, I'm having a really serious issue.

So I went through the process (not the first time I rooted an Android device) and it was easy and simple. After the root I made sure by downloading root checker basic for the Play store. I was indeed rooted. But then something weird started happening. The screen goes into standy by itself after a few seconds like normal, but I can't get it to wake up from standy. I have to shut off the device by holding the power button and then turning it back on again. When I do that it works normally again until the screen shuts off either by me pressing the power button to do it manually, or until the screen dims out into standby. I've tried wiping the cache, I've tried a factory reset, and I've even ran the process again all over using heimdall. I'm guessing it's probably the kernel that gets flashed using heimdall? Please help me out here because I only got this decive today and It really sucks that it's not working

I was able to fix it easily. I found someone online who had an identical Galaxy Tab 2 and had them make a nandroid backup (after they did a factory reset so that I wouldn't have any of their private data) and send me the backup files over dropbox. I got an md5 mismatch error when I tried restoring but it was simple to fix after some googling and then the restore went fine. Now I have no problems with the galaxy tab 2. Also now the kernel is (@SEP-66 #1) instead of (@SEP-103 #1 which was causing the problem.)

Thank you for all that helped.

So just a CWM restore brought your system to stock to include the kernel? Nothing else?

Thanks

Rooted in no time at all. Thanks for the easy instructions!

I'm also on 99 #1...

RDI · May 1, 2012

I am rooted also, thanks. I did discover that while working on the Tablet I saved the zip file (by default) at: /mnt/sdcard in download. When I went to flash the zip file, it is was not there.. After rebooting, I found that CWM was looking at: /mnt/extSdcard/download.. Which directory is the correct one and how do I make sure everything uses just one.?

ANyone have a stock rom image? I bricked mine by using a DPI changer! The Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0 logo come up then to black & stuck. I can boot into CWR but does no good as I don't have a backup

I also tried editing the build.prop back to 160 from 180 dpi through ADB but it won't let me write the changes back to the tab as I can't change it to rw!

((

HELP!

Stock Images

Jcase has made two stock images available in a nice zip packaged as an update. Includes stock kernel, system and recovery. Check out rootz. I have a stock rooted backup I can share with you which I made after a factory restore so no personal data is on it. It is for IML74K.P3113UEALCB. Do not use it on IML74K-P3113UEALD3.
