UPDATE 16/01/2013:
- P3100 CWM recovery 6.0.2.7, SuperSU 0.99
UPDATE 17/09/2012:
- P3100 CWM recovery 6.0.1.3
- P3110 & P3113 CWM recovery 6.0.1.1
- P3113 Samsung recovery repacked from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887077, thanks ruben00.
UPDATE 15/09/2012:
A modified Samsung recovery, now accept an update package signed by Google's testkey. The idea came from Chainfire's CF-Root. BIG THANKS for Chainfire.
UPDATE:
Recovery for P3110 or P3113 can be combined with my own cache.img for one-step recovery and root installation. Extract appropriate recovery and use heimdall to flash your device:
Code:
$ sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --cache cache.img
or create ODIN flashable package:
Code:
$ tar -H ustar -c cache.img recovery.img > CWM-6.0.1.1-SuperSU-0.96-BusyBox-1.20.2-P3110.tar
$ md5sum -t CWM-6.0.1.1-SuperSU-0.96-BusyBox-1.20.2-P3110.tar >> CWM-6.0.1.1-SuperSU-0.96-BusyBox-1.20.2-P3110.tar
$ mv CWM-6.0.1.1-SuperSU-0.96-BusyBox-1.20.2-P3110.tar CWM-6.0.1.1-SuperSU-0.96-BusyBox-1.20.2-P3110.tar.md5
Boot to Windows and flash using ODIN.
Tested on leaked 4.1.1 JellyBean for GT-P3100.
TIP:
- Disable notification in SuperSU settings!
- Reset the flash counter using Triangle Away from Chainfire
- Since my English very bad, you can follow [How To] ROOT- Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 [GT-P5113 / 5100 / 5110 & 4.0.4 UPGRADE or OEM] as a reference, thanks weltwon

Unroot and restore back 4.1.1 JellyBean stock OTA recovery:
Disconnect from PC and power off P3100
Boot P3100 to recovery mode (VOLUME UP + POWER)
Connect P3100 to PC
Extract signed_root_p3100.zip
Copy cleaner script to P3100 and then unroot P3100:
Code:
$ adb push cleaner /tmp/
$ adb shell
# busybox mount /system
# busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
# busybox mount /data
# busybox mount -o remount,rw /data
# busybox mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p.backup /system/recovery-from-boot.p
# busybox mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.backup /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# sh /tmp/cleaner
# umount /system
# umount /data
Reboot from recovery menu.

#1 post updated. I hope people will stop making a new thread in development section about how to root P31XX :silly:

do I
so if I have a P3113 and want the OTA update packages that are signed by google test keys-do I flash the samsung recovery and the cwm recovery 6.0.1.1

This is phenomenal work.
I will point my rooting posts to this single post, rooting couldnt get any easier with this

that would half work , since the OTA installer checks for recovery to be samsung.
But I think if your rom is deodexed it will fail because the OTA's normally patch both .apk and the .odex files

This is great work, but I think you need a better explanation of what each options does and how they are installed in your OP. Then people will have less questions and problems.
Thanks

I managed successfully to install a costume Recovery manager and Rooted my GT-P3100. oh boy! I thought that is never gonna happen anytime soon.
Though, I would recommend you to make the topic short and use latest version instead of giving me long of list of files on the attachment
Thank you so much, root is working just perfect, I managed to use softwares that require root with no problem.

Does it work on ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 too?
Thanks for such a great job.

I have a gt 2 7.0 p3110 . I need to go back to stock /out of the box status. If I have the firmware,can I just do so by flashing said firmware from recover menu?
I also have a custom kernel. Will it get rid of the kernel?

Personally, it worked on 4.0.4. I managed to Root and install CWM recovery.
I don't have an answer if it will work for 4.0.3.

To return to pure factory state, first use triangle away app 1.95 to reset counter to zero, then flash stock via pc odin, do not worry about counter, it will not increase with stock firmware, it increases only with custom firmwares or files flashed via pc odin

[ROM][STOCK][EUR] P7500XWKG9 [3G Only] Deodexed , rooted

[size=+2]Backup your rom and files before you start anything. You have been warned!!!!![/size]
[size=+1]If you have P7500-XWKG9 and rooted you can skip to step 7. Tnx to zaphyr[/size]
1. Download Stock Rom P7500-XWKG9 EUR 3G Only http://www.multiupload.com/SGV6N78YY7 [password: samfirmware.com] (Source http://www.samfirmware.com/)
2. Download ODIN3 V1.85 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913&d=1304094576
3. Extract stock rom somewher on your computer also Odin, run Odin and don't touch anything except PDA where you will select previously extracted stock file.
4. Put Tab in Download mode, connect tab to computer, power off, hold power off and volume - till you see two icons then press volume + and if it ask are you sure pres volume + one more time and you are in download mode then ( order of buttons is _power_ _volume -_ _volume+_ )
5. You should see yellow background on first box of odin and that is good your Tab is ready to flash, then click start on ODIN and wait till it reboot.
6. Now we need to root your Tab, as it is on this topic, so download this and put it on the sdcard, then put your Tab to Recovery mode power off, hold power off and volume - till you see two icons then press volume - ,then volume + and you should go to apply update zip file and you will select this file and when it is done you should reboot your device.
6.1 Download & Install Bussybox installer market link from the market,
run it and superuser will ask to allow root access, you should allow it and then exit application, after that run it again and install bussybox, that is all... Tnx to ChronoWerX
7. Download Deodexed system files http://www.multiupload.com/4QZVAVUPW8
8. Extract downloaded file to sdcard so you have done_app and done_frame folders in the root of sdcard.
9. You should have adb installed or get it from the google, run next commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
10. After that get back to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and reboot.
You have now fully deodexed and rooted GT7500-XWKG9 3G tab working and ready for making changes

[ROM] STOCK Android 3.2.1 v3.2.79 -rooted- ext4/squashfs for SDE

First ....THANKS @letama, and last but not least thanks to @tRAcE3k for .ext4 build.
Official Stock Firmware v3.2.79 => ROOT, Update : Su binary v3.0.3.2, Superuser v3.0.7 and busybox v1.19.3, Add : enables vibrator and adjust volume !
(There is no need to install busybox.apk or busybox installer.apk from market, busybox is already installed into /system/xbin/ - only for .ext4)
This ROM is only for SDE enable ( recovery) ....you can use it as a daily ROM...
These are the files you need :
- zImage => http://www.4shared.com/file/KXp8bLDa/zImage.html
- initramfs.cpio.gz => http://www.4shared.com/archive/6Y9sMqJ5/initramfscpio.html
- archos_3.2.79.squashfs => http://www.4shared.com/zip/-vo5gkRr/firmware_3279squashfs.html (...version without busybox and update!)
- archos_3.2.79.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/zip/dmrcBtJM/3279_updat.html
How install this :
- connect device via USB cable
- adb push archos_3.2.79.squashfs data/media/ ........for read-only /system
- adb push archos_3.2.79.ext4 data/media/..............for read-write /system and other stuff
- reboot into recovery , Recovery System-> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Kernel ( for boot only to SDE) -> I Understand -> Ok -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs -> copy zImage and initramfs into new driver -> Ok ! that's all
hi, If I have your archos_3.2.78.ext4, can I copy only archos_3.2.79.ext4 to data/media? Or for every new rom is always necessary copy even zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz? thank you

No, you have to flash zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz in sde developer menu each time. First, filename changed and it's hardcoded in initramfs, second, Archos bugfixes are also in the kernel so new zImage is required.
Thanks surdu_petru for taking the relay!

[email protected] sure is right....on the ather hand, every new firmware ( ex. firmware_archos_it4.aos) has its own boot image ( boot.img = zImage + initramfs) -used to boot devices and has its own flash files / system files which are grouped in an archive ( contains - libraries, aplikations, and other stuff ) - used to run system android , and all these are closely linked ....I think you can now better understand how to use them, and why ......

Downloaded the ext4 version and couldn't get it to work.
Only root through the ADB Shell functioned, anything else Superuser automatically got denied, even though in the Superuser app it was set to prompt.
Chmodded the su binary to 6755 and it started to work

First off Thanks very much surdu_petru for the work!
Please excuse my novice ability here, but...
I'm not sure if I did everything correctly, but I don't have root anymore. (i did with 3.2.78)
I did the adb push of the archos_3.2.79 to /data/media
then did the flash of intramfs and zImage from the beginning of this post.
I rebooted into developer and Root Checker says i don't have Root anymore?
Do i need to chmod the SU binary now to fix? if so where is the SU binary located in the filesystem? (i'm not sure how i would execute that command, via adb?)

Initial CFRoot Flasher won't flash CWM to my Note?

Hello all.
Initial CFRoot flash won't flash the CWM Zimage to my phone. I'm running stock 4.04 ICS with the LQ2 kernel with full root access. When I paste the CF-Root kernel Zimage into the appropriate folder and run the "already-rooted.bat" file it gives me the following :

Please watch for any errors beyond this point!

Any help / advice? Thanks.
Try CWM method to root your phone then flash CF Root kernel.
OR
First root your phone using CWM method then do what you tried.
You already need to be rooted so that
dd if=/data/local/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096
can work.
Mobile.odin is easiest way.
I recommend to install busybox fro market first, then install binaries from inside busybox applicaion, once it install successfully, then flash cf root kernel.

I thought people were being discouraged from using odin to flash kernels because it interfered with WiFI / yellow triangle.
I got it working. I just used root explorer and manually copied over the zImage to the phone's memory and it installed fine.
Now, just to double check. If I want to restore nandroid backups, I should flash the abyss kernel first, then reboot recovery then wipe, then restore the nandroid backup.
Likewise if I want to install a custom ROM. I flash the abyss kernel, reboot recovery and then full wipe. Then I flash the ROM and reboot. Right?

[Offering] CWM 6 recovery for Stock ICS with new bootloader [new: v28G based]

I've successfully ported / combined wkpark's CWM5 for early P990 ICS build to the latest v28G build and its completely different recovery.img
Update Nov 12: re-based on different CWM 5 and the latest v28G recovery image base. Update recommended!
Update Nov 15: re-based on CWM 6 and the latest v28G recovery image base. Update recommended! No more big font!
Requirements: Stock v28E ICS or later => new partitioning structure, new bootloader (unlocked)
Download: look at the bottom
Installation:
Installation directly on the phone using dd with root permission
when you have already rooted your device you can use "dd" to install cwm.img
like as following
(using adb shell or terminal app) - type the following things in terminal (first copy the recovery image you want to install to your internal SD card):
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/backup-recovery.img
dd if=/sdcard/[B]<putNameOfRecoveryImageHere>[/B].img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

Installation via NVFlash:
- Download NVFlash version of v28G-based CWM 6 recovery here: Not yet available
- extract archive, connect phone in NVFlash mode (search yourself how to do it, explained in my ROM threads as well), run flash-recovery.bat (Windows only)

If you get error messages in CWM, stating that /cache can't be mounted: just format /cache partition in CWM

thanks mate.....
Under usb debugging mode i flashed it. but when i try to enter cwm, an android with spinning cube appears and phone restarts. It erased my internal memory and it starts with 'welcome' wizard'

I can confirm this ! happened to me too !
I cant install I think it cant mount data for r/w or something (i've unlocked bootloader). Also i cant do remount because when i enter adb remount i get this:
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Didn't happen for me. I flashed it directly from the phone without adb.
Also I don't understand why you execute the psneuter exploit Stefan? It is more than sufficient to just do the dd if=/location/to/recovery of=/destination part.
Maybe the psneuter exploit does something with the internal storage??

Ok, I did:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
13680+0 records in
13680+0 records out
7004160 bytes transferred in 2.740 secs (2556262 bytes/sec)

When from CWM connecting to PC as mass storage, you can access both SD cards.
Also you can most of the times directly boot to CWM using the well known VOL DOWN + POWER
Requirements: Stock v28E ICS or later => new partitioning structure, new bootloader (unlocked)
Download: http://d-h.st/5e5
Installation: Unpack, connect phone via adb, then run either Windows, Linux, or Mac script (thanks to Harsh for the scripts!)

Shutdown your phone. Then keep volume down button AND power button pressed until you are in recovery mode. Important: BOTH pressed constantly.
I have 28e version of ics and root with smarthflash and i can´t instal cwm =(

DO NOT do that . there's something wrong with the recovery ! it wipes /data !!
For those having trouble copy recovery.img to internal sd. Open terminal and type su and grant permission. Then type
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Mind the spaces.
Then type reboot.
Done!

The recovery is fine but the flashing part seems to be broken. I've removed the link for now and might add it lateron with a new flashing method.
Is it only me but I can't access my external SD after booting into CWM. Only internal. Just letting u know. Thx!

ITs working fine for me....just flashed new 28g rom and addons from external sd. Although log was showing lot of errors...but it was opening. Try going to mounts and storage and mount external sd from there.. just a thought.

Yea, forgot to mention that I tried that but no success. Will try to reboot a third time and in case not working I'll reflash again and see if it makes any difference.

[GUIDE][HOW-TO] Fully root Huawei Ascend P7 L10

After upgrading to 3.0, follow the steps (I recommend to use FORCE UPGRADE using Vol + + Vol - + Power. But be sure to save your important data if you are not using SDCARD):
1. Download the boot image file below, correspond to your firmware version. (I've made this boot.img unlocked. I'm not responsible for the bootloop of your phone)
2. Download and install HiSuite. (Optional for Windows 8 and above).
3. Flash the boot image file.
- Connect your device via data cable into your pc.
- Choose PC Suite (HiSuite) from your device.
- Download and extract ADB Flash Tools.
- Copy the boot image file correspond to your firmware inside ADB Flash Tools folder.
- Run cmd.exe:
- Type adb reboot bootloader
- Type fastboot flash boot BOOT_EMUI3.0_XXX_UNLOCKED.img (XXX is the number correspond to your firmware)
- Type fastboot reboot
4. Root using iRoot or Kingo Android Root.
5. Download and install busybox from playstore.
6. Remove set_immutable.list using terminal emulator.
Type in the terminal emulator:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
lsattr
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
lsattr
(Enter after each line...it's LASTTR with an L not a capital i)
You are fully (100%) rooted.
1. BOOT_EMUI3.0_616_UNLOCKED.img
2. BOOT_EMUI3.0_615_UNLOCKED.img
3. BOOT_EMUI3.0_613_UNLOCKED.img
4. BOOT_EMUI3.0_609_UNLOCKED.img
5. BOOT_EMUI3.0_619_UNLOCKED.img
6. BOOT_EMUI3.0_620_UNLOCKED.img
7. BOOT_EMUI3.0_621_UNLOCKED.img

did you flashed your L10 with L-07-L10 3.0 firmware? if yes, then revert back to fully 2,3 environment, not using flashing imgs.

problem exists if your 2.3 is not a fully 2.3 environment. you reverted your phone back from 604 to 2.3 using flashing imgs, right?

can someone proof the method by mikesa??
which version of root genius did you take?
tested and works on P7-L10 B609 full update (~1,21GB)..
it is highly recommended to keep the king user root app..
i took the root genius version 1.8.7 (en) and flashed the boot_hrt_emui3.0.img..
works like charm..
thanks mikesa for this tipp..
and thanks for the devs of the boot.img
greetz
for me also with the boot_HRT_EMUI3.0.img and lastest rootgenius cn
everything worked like a charm ;p
thanks for the link
