SGT 2 7.0 root and warranty

Hi, i have a couple of questions about rooting this device.
Can i do root according to this guideline?
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery Method
Download the ClockworkMod Recovery image (recovery.tar.md5, 5.3 MB).
Download the root package (cwm-root-gtab2.zip, 1.22 MB).
Download Odin3 v1.85 (Odin3-v1.85_3.zip, 199 kB).
Extract Odin3-v1.85_3.zip into a folder on your computer.
Go to the extracted folder and double-click Odin3 v1.85.exe to launch Odin on your computer.
Copy cwm-root-gtab2.zip to the root of your tablet’s external SD card.
Switch off your tablet.
Reboot your tablet into Download Mode. You can do that by pressing and holding the Volume Up key (right key on the Volume rocker) and Power button. When a warning message appears, press the Volume Down key (left key on the Volume rocker) to continue.
Connect your tablet to the computer via the USB cable. The word “Added” will appear in Odin. If it doesn’t appear, make sure you have properly installed the USB drivers on your computer.
Click the PDA button in Odin and choose the recovery.tar.md5 file.
NOTE: Do not make unnecessary changes in Odin. Doing so will likely brick your tablet.
Once all are set, click the Start button in Odin.
Your tablet will automatically reboot. You will also get the “Pass” message in Odin.
Turn off your tablet.
Reboot your tablet into ClockworkMod Recovery mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down key (left key on the Volume rocker) and Power button. When the Samsung logo appears, release the Power button but keep the Volume key pressed.
NOTE: Once in recovery, use the Volume keys to navigate and the Power button to select an option.
Select Install ZIP From SD Card and choose the cwm-root-gtab2.zip file. Confirm the action on the next screen to initiate the rooting process.
Once complete, go back to the main menu and select Reboot System Now.
Congratulations! You have successfully rooted your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3110 via the Heimdall or ClockworkMod Recovery method.
I found this guideline on androidauthority.com, but i cant post the link on it.
How can i keep a warranty? Is it possible? for example i do a backup of original rom from Samsung, then root the tab and if i want the warranty back, what have i to do? unroot tab and install my backuped rom?
thanx for advices.

I can only do a backup after root so the best way is to find original rom in sammobile and download it to your pc. If you need to restore just flash it with pc odin and it will erase all what you have done. You just need to be erase flash counter if you use the method that you found. But there is others.
If you need help to find the rom post here the country and i will look for it.

It doesn't really matter. It is all the same.

Post here your product code in order to find that backup on samsung servers. To look for it, if you have windows got to regedit and look for CURRENT_USER/software/samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/ and find the folder that have HIDSWVER and ProductCode.

OK, so i´ll download rom for UK. And how do i install it? in odin i select that rom and simply install it?

Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838072
DO not use UK, use Nordic Countries because it have XEZ (Czech Republic). UK don't. And it is the same rom
But also try to see your product code before.

The link is for the new rom. I though I want to flash the new version, right?!
About the backup and the folders that you not find, did you installed Kies?
If now, install it, connect tab to kies and only after look for the folders in the regedit

Yes i have kies, but i dont use it.
about the product key, what is it?

So what rom should i download? Here is selection of roms for gt-3110.
Code:
http://oi49.tinypic.com/inu4h4.jpg

Its product code not product key
Yours should be GP-P3110TSAXEZ (Czech) and I can't find it in samsung servers.
But if you flash the Nordic (4.0.4) that rom have CSC XEZ you will be just fine.
And believe me, 4.0.4 is a lot better than the 4.0.3
In my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1838072 and others you will have all the information that you need.
Put questions in each thread if necessary.

OK, i´ll download this (GT-P3110 / Nordic countries / 2012 August / Android 4.0.4 / P3110XXBLH1 / P3110OXXBLH1), other rom for nordic countries is not here.
So now if i root tab (4.0.3), then in future can i instal this rom (4.0.4) and warranty will be back?
Sorry for a lot of questions, but i am beginner.

You really don't understand. Forget the backup... That link was not your backup... It is the new firmware that only came out for that countries at this point. Other countries are waiting...
If you only want root, follow any thread and then look at your flash counter. If you flash a recovery by Odin, your flash counter will increase and warranty will be void but now you can use the app triangle away to reset it and your waranty will ge back.
If you dont understant what am I saying, dont do nothing. Read some posts of this XDA forum first.

Hi,

Try going to sammobile.com and download the Kies software. The article you cite is from 2013 and I know the software has been updated since then. You should search in the Q&A section on how to update using Kies. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/help) Not sure if there will be anything there or not but you will not finding anything in this section about it. There are several ways to update to KitKat in that section. I have never really used Kies so I cannot help you with using the software itself.

You can't use kies, that is for official releases direct from Samsung. You need to download Odin, preferably 3.07 or 3.09 since you are installing Kit Kat. Download the NAE Stock Tar file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619 it is a fast download. Extract the tar file from the zip you downloaded. Open Odin with administration privileges and load the TAR file into the PDA slot (3.07) or AP slot (3.09). Place your phone in Download mode and connect it to your computer. Once the phone is recognized by odin click the start button and let it run. You can get Odin here: http://odindownload.com/

I will try that tonight thanks again

Guide Odin Flash / Update firmware ODIN
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray!
0. Download and Install: Mod edit: Malicious links removed.
1. Just download the firmware version you want from this posts[/URL] and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere.
2. Reboot your phone to download mode. To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin 3.**[/URL]
If your ROM is a single .tar.md5 package click on the AP/PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1 and select it.
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA/Code, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin like below
BL = Bootloader
AP = PDA (CODE)
CP = PHONE (MODEM)
CSC = CSC
4. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
5. Connect the USB cable and wait for any required Mod edit: Malicious link removed. to install and the ID:COM section to turn blue like below.
6. Click start to flash.
7. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device once the flash has started, it will reboot when it finishes.
*Note PDA/AP/CSC/CO/MODEM/etc
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the CSC bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA/AP in the name is the PDA/AP part of the firmware package

No this is for the g930f (International version) as stated in the thread title

Will this wipe the phone or just root it?
Can I just flash the recovery and SuperSU to get the root?

No idea, i also tried many different Odin versions.

Still no w8 firmware?

Do i get firmware updates directly after flashing different csc with odin?

The 930FD dual SIM uses the same firmware as 930F single SIM. More discussion here (not a link to firmware). Did you try unrooting with SuperSU? Knox is already tripped by the way and that's irreversible.

Ok I was just making sure, what firmware would I use for an international phone being as I live in the USA.
Thanks

Apologize if this is a noob question (i searched) . I have a G930F in the U.S. with AT&T , Will any of these firmware versions improve cell reception etc? If I switch firmwares will it allow UK version of Samsung Pay?

As far as I know, if you flash your phone with another rom is because you have rooted the phone. If you have rooted the phone, then of course you have tripped Knox and therefore Samsung pay wont work, let alone android pay

No firmware from the link

Has anyone been able to download from the link? I was getting forwarded to panel-guide.ru and got EXE file instead of the firmware. I was suspicious and sure enough the EXE file got intercepted by MalwareBytes.

Your first question, don't know. You'll have to experiment.
Your second question, if Samsung Pay comes to the UK in May as predicted, it will probably only work with select UK financial institutions.

Flashing ROMs and rooting are two different activities independent of each other. Flashing a ROM doesn't necessarily root the device. Flashing official Samsung firmwares don't root the device or trip Knox.

What is the error it shows. Most common issues include bad drivers,wrong Odin try 3.13b, try usb 2.0 instead of 3.0. Some people have issues in win 10, flashing wrong firmware, and or older firmware than on the device. Those are common issues.

Hmm i dont know then i own a US model and things are a bit different

I would like recommend to you a few tips (maybe you already know these tips) for solving your problems with Odin. I think that should be a line "Added" in Odin's log right after connecting your phone in download mode. So it's worth to try reinstall phone drivers in your computer. Next tip is about version of Odin - you should try Odin in version v3.13.1. In this version i flashed my phone several times (on Windows 10 1809) and the process was always fine (before I had a similar problem like you). I would also suggest use the latest firmware for your phone - SEB/G950FXXS4DSE1 (you can download via SamFirm app). At the end if i were you i'd check the check box "Re-Partition" in Options tab (in Odin), which mustn't be checked.
I have also the same phone like you (SM-G950F) just with different CSC (ETL).
I hope that will help you.

thanks for the reply,
when i connect the phone it gets added to odin, no issues, i use the latest samsung usb drivers, even tried windows 10 build 1809, i've also tried odin version 3.13.1, tried flashing SEB/G950FXXS4DSE1 and odin just fails, re-partition is unticked

First, i use Odin 3.12.3, no need to use a beta, second, you can decrease the wait time A LOT if you are certain your files are not corrupted and remove the "md5" part of the extension, leaving only .TAR, also, you can open the CSC file, you will find a pit file inside, you can try extracting it and putting it in odin's PIT section, that fixes it a lot of time, make sure you are using the correct PIT
Edit: to open the TAR file, i recommend using 7zip

use samfirm to download the latest stock firmware and flash all 4 files using csc instead of home csc

I bricked my phone [Samsung A40]

Hello guys,
I have tried several wrong root firmwares for my SM-A405FN smartphone. I thought it was A30 so I tried flashing custom roms for A30.
And I got "This phone is not running Samsung's official" error which it loops and enter in download mode everytime.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then I flashed the WRONG stock rom for A30, despicte the fact I have A40.
The problem here, was that I couldn't flash anything due to some misterious "could not connect error".
After that appeared on the screen some information about the PIT,on the download mode.
I tried also flashing the firmware for the PIT, which it actual repartions the phone, and it runned succesefully. But I ended with this error:
"Error validating footer (6)
..tom recovery

My question it's if you know how to recuperate back my phone?
Next, I'm gonna try flashing my stock rom, preferably for Ver 9.0 / Pie Version. Then working on a solution for the problem above. And after that how to bypassing "Not running official Samsung".

at 1st I don't own that device but several other Samsungs
Which FW was that? the right one?
Where from did you get it?
Do you have multiple part stock ROM (AP, BL, CSC, CP all as separate files)?
Download mode still working?
Odin still recognises the phone?
Flashing the firmware for pit doesn't work to repartition it.
Pit file has to be extracted from CSC file and placed in Odin separatly and "repartion" box checked.

UPDATE1:
I tried to upload stock with Odin, but I encountered an error.
Then I restarted the phone, and I got this message:
And I found on youtube & here on xda, that I have to use Smart Switch, old version.
Now I can not find the Serial Number, on the box... and I might have to uncover the back of the phone.

@Cristishor201 to me it seems there is no (stable) usb connection if at all.
Doesn't COM field in Odin turn blue when you connect it to PC?
Tried other cables or USB ports?
Btw to let me get a notification put a @ before my name

You mean TWRP? I thought you've flashed wrong firmware not wrong recovery.

Solid source although I prefer SamFirm_Reborn_0.3.6.3

Use CSC only for now, HOME only for keeping data when updating the correct firmware

Download mode gotta be working when Odin recognises the phone.
I think you mean something else.

I've no idea. It former times the numbers where there.
If you haven't kept the box, no. But what will the number be good for?
On my other Samsungs with not detachable batteries it's printed on the back although very hard to read.

Double post

At using Smart Switch, it asks me for the model, and serial number

I was able to return to Download mode, by flashing the twrp (the right one).
But it still fails..

@bmwdroid​After I changed the cable, and flashed the latest stock (EMUI 11, instead EMUI 9), I did pass that error, and get repaired.
It get started with the initial installation steps.
