[Q] Grand 2 Duos SM-G7106 does not enter download mode

Hello,
A customer gave a Grand 2 (SM-G7106) for service, to have a custom rom & recovery installed.
I've been trying to use the method that's available in all the forums (put the phone to download mode, connect it to odin & etc...).
But the phone does not go into download mode in the first place for some reason.
Rather, when I keep holding Vol Down + Home + Power (or Vol Down + Power only) , a screen flashes to say 'Factory mode' for like 2 secs & then, I get these options
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, I tried, Vol Up + Power & I get these options
Please give me a solution to this.
Thanking you all in advance,

bro...

Not sure, it only came for service.
How do I distinguish between original & duplicate?
Even then, is there any solution to this problem though?

Hey buddies,
I got a 4.3 Samsung SM-G7106, with G7106ZNUANK1 from China Unicom (CHU). unfortunately, I can't root it properly. Tried CF-Root, TowelRoot and Framaroot but no luck.
I hope you can help me out guys, thanks!

May be it is super copy for grand 2,,try to chek with cpu identifier or cpu z,,
Sent from my SM-G7102

Nah, its not a supercopy, just found out that one of my friend was also using the same phone, same specs, same everything and he bought it on Samsung Store in China (He presented me with the copy of the receipt and box stuffs), so yeah, I think its a legit one since its running well on Kies also (unlike other copy phones which can't be detected thru Kies). Anyway, I found a root program from G7106ZNUANC1 and I forgot the other one, its thru SRS root, but didnt work for my phone unfortunately. :crying:
Hope someone could help me root my G7106ZNUANK1 soon!

Thanks for the tutorial buddy! Is it possible you can walk me thru it? Even though I'm kinda lurking here for quite some time, still some things are alien to me. I hate to say this, but, can you spoon-feed me the instructions in doing so? Would really appreciate your help!
Thanks! :good:

Hi.
I just got also a Grand 2 G7106, and does the same thing - chinese menus instead of recovery mode. Found a video on youtube that explained which single item does, and most are only a bunch of tests, and one for factory reset, but still with this same issue.
I also would like to know how to use odin without entering in download mode.

Hey buddy, try using SRS root software if you wanted to root your phone. If you're lucky enough that its not the G7106znuank1 model, then it can be rooted thru it. Otherwise, you'll be stuck like me. lol.. good luck! :good:

looks like i am stuck with you guys too. Have the same Samsung SM-G7106 . I tried using ODIN to install CWM. Despite Odin saying that it is PASS and device rebooted itself, when i try to go into recovery mode (CWM) it goes into default Android recovery mode instead with (write protected) ... i tried TWRP too using ODIN and it is not working. Tried both Odin 3.09 and 3.10

If you're still looking for a way to root your SM-G7106, I managed to do it with the KingoRoot app.
super simple process. It's based on Chainfire.
I should mention this was with: G7106znuank1

I have a grand 2 g7106 hard bricked and it is totally dead how to solve this problem please help.
Thanks in advance

[Root] CFAutoRoot For SM-T807T/SM-T807P + Firmwares

Note: I did not make any of these root methods. Credits of the people who confirmed/ported cfautoroot is at the end of this post. I got permission to post these root methods here as most of the discussion happened in the General thread. I am not responsible for any damages done to your device. This will trip knox as always and this root method is only for the TMobile and Sprint Tab S 10.5! You've been warned!
Root is now available for these devices! Hope you enjoy and hopefully this should get some development going!
CFAutoRoot for SM-T807T(Tmobile)
Ripx88 confirmed T805 Cfautoroot works for SM-T807T, but you may have a broken recovery. He also confirmed that Twrp and Philz CWM for SM-T805 also works on the SM-T807T. Thanks to him!

How to install
Make sure that in settings>general>security reactivation lock is OFF
edan1979 said:
Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA (AP in odin v3.x) button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, manually shutdown your device and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!
Flashing with Odin
1. Put your phone into download mode. To do this turn the phone off and then press volume down+home button+power button at the same time. You will then get a warning saying press up to continue and down to cancel, press volume up and you are now in download mode
2. Start Odin
3.At this point please make sure that ONLY TWO OPTIONS TICKED are "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" (otherwise you could end up with a very expensive paperweight)

4. If there was only one tar file when you extracted the firmware put it in the PDA section.This just means this file contains the PDA+PHONE+CSC all in one firmware
If there are three files they should have one of PDA/PHONE/CSC in their names look for this and put them in the corresponding section.
5. Plug your device into the computer, wait for the drivers to install and then wait for the ID:COM section to turn blue.
6.ONCE AGAIN CHECK YOU HAVE NOT TICKED RE-PARTITION OR PUT IN A PIT FILE
7.Press start and the flash will begin, once this has started do not remove the usb cable or turn of your computer or the device the phone will reboot once the flash has finished.

Post from main thread.
CF-Auto-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root. In essence, it does nothing but install and enable SuperSU on your system, so apps can gain root access.
Donate
CF-Root and CF-Auto-Root have been available for many devices (over 50 different models !) and have clocked over 9 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that include CF-Root (non-Auto) kernels. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every user had donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery (note that any other recovery you may have installed will be overwritten !)
What's the difference between CF-Auto-Root and CF-Root, and/or other root solutions ?
CF-Root (non-Auto) are manually built rooted kernels and/or flashables that usually provide more than "just root". CF-Auto-Root is built on an automated system that I am constantly improving that takes a stock recovery image and returns an automated rooting packages. These packages are designed to install and enable SuperSU on your device, so apps can gain root access, and nothing more.
The difference with many other rooting solutions is that those will often install a custom recovery for you (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons), while with CF-Auto-Root you will end up with a stock recovery again.
Not included - custom recovery
A custom recovery like CWM or TWRP is not included.
Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)
Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

Please let me know if it works smoothly. I'm still in the process of tweaking it and looking for bugs.

Anyone have the firmware for the T807P? I see the T807T is up there, but think us Sprint users would need the correct firmware correct or we can run the TMo variant and be fine? Just want to confirm. If that is all we need. I'll go ahead with the process right now.

Anyone else experience similar behavior?

Works fine for me. Are you on att? Mirror to google drive will be coming. Standby

Yeah, the WAN at the office is managed by ATT. Are they notorious for having issues with MEGA?
I'll try downloading again from home this evening - meant to do that last night, but it fell off my radar.

Att blocks mega because of the history of mega and copyright claims. Ill make another mirror with google drive.

For anyone having trouble with the T807P root please post information on what happened and I will try to troubleshoot it. It is suppose to be a quick and easy CFAutoRoot using ODIN. I will say that it doesn't work if you are trying to use Odin on a virtual machine. It will stop as it tries to upload the cache.img. There is something about virtual machines that blocks it or Odin just doesn't like.

Uploading Sprint firmware now Will also upload the boot.img amd recovery if a dev wants them.

[GUIDE]SM-T710 6.0.1 Marshmallow Installation and fast DL link

This guide has been made for sm-t710, but you can follow it for any model (t715, t810 and t815) by just using the right Odin flashable TWRP file and Odin flashable firmware file for your device.
Here you have the link(for sm-t710):
T710XXU2CPD9_T710BTU2CPD9_BTU.zip
Just downloaded from www.sammobile.com T710XXU2CPD9_T710BTU2CPD9_BTU/ and re-uploaded to MEGA.
Tested and working on my spanish sm-t710, in my case I had my device rooted and with TWRP, as well as a 5.1.1 Optimal Rom.
After following this instructions, somehow i didn't loose any personal data or installed aplication, so this guide will just update our device from lollipop rom to Marshmallow BUT we will loose root AND TWRP, just follow the guide to reinstall TWRP and root after update. If you didn't had root before following this guide, you can root the tab before of after it, but I recomend you to first install TWRP and backup personal data before following this guide.
Instructions:​Requirements:​->Root the tablet. (Recomended)
->Install TWRP (Recomended but I think it isn't needed)
->Enable USB Debugging on your tab.
->Make sure you have Samsung drivers installed on your PC.
->Download and extract the zip file to get the firmware file which is in .tar.md5 extension.
->Download and extrat Odin from here: Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
Installation:​1->Turn off your tab and boot it into the Download Mode. To do this, turn off your device and then press and hold Volume Down + Home + Power buttons simultaneously for 2-3 seconds. When you see the warning screen with a yellow triangle sign, press the Volume Up/Down key to enter Download/Odin mode.
2->Download the required Odin.zip file and extract the file on your PC. You will get the Odin3_v3.10.7.exe file. Open it as the administrator to get to the Odin window.
3->Connect your Galaxy device to the computer using the USB cable.
4->When you connect the device, the ID: COM port on Odin will turn Blue. You’ll also see“Added!!” message to indicate successful connection. If Odin des not detect your tab, try to reinstall drivers, try another usb cable and another usb port.
5-> Check "AP" box and click on AP. A window will pop up, just go to the folder where you extracted the firmware and select T710XXU2CPD9_T710BTU2CPD9_HOME.tar.md5 file (name may vary according to device model)
6->Now Odin is checking MD5 and will freeze for a minute or so, but don't worry, just let Odin work.
7->Click on the "Options" section and make sure that only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes are checked. (Do not, in any case, check Re-Partition box).
8->Now, click the Start button on Odin to begin firmware installation.
10->Once you get a PASS! message on Odin, your device will restart. It’s the green signal that indicates a successful installation.
11->Once our device restarts, you can disconect it.
12-> Enjoy Marshmallow :fingers-crossed: on our Tab s2 (First boot will last for some minutes, just be patient! :laugh: )
TWRP installation:​1->Download TWRP from this THREAD according to your device (Lollipop 5.X.X just works fine). Thanks to ashyx.
2->Flash with odin following steps 2 to 11 from above.
12->Enjoy Marshmallow with TWRP!
ROOT:​1->Download the SuperSu TWRP flashable ZIP from this THREAD (don´t extract it) and put in on the root of the internal sd by conecting the device to pc.
2->Turn off our device.
3->Hold HOME+VOL UP+POWER until TWRP screen apears.
4->If it says something about reading-only mode, just swipe that whtie triangles from below.
5->On the main menu, select "Install" and click on the SuperSu zip, then swipe to confirm flash.
6->Reboot and enjoy Marshmallow with TWRP and root! :highfive: :good:

Hi, this isn't a modified (untouched)firmware file, so if you flash with odin it may not trip knox warranty. I'm not completely sure, as I had knox warranty void before. The problem comes when you try to flash anything non-official files with Odin (modified roms, root or twrp), these files will trip the knox flag for sure.

thanks for the replies im new to flashing samsung devices (coming from nexus)..
one other question...my CSC is XAC (canadian) will that stay the same if i flash this UK rom? ive read some have had issues with wifi with flashing other region roms...TIA

I recommend you guys try out http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...elease/good-lock-24-0-7-android-apk-download/ . It is awesome. Tablet feels like a Nexus.

Just upgraded my T710 from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 with user data untouched. TWRP, root and Xposed all reinstalled successfully. One thing worth mentioning is that for SuperSu, Latest version (BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip) instead of Stable version has to be used.

I am in India ?? and I want to update my tab s2 8.0 to m so when is Ota coming and will the UK rom trip the know meter being it frortanother region????? Answer fast

If you bother to read the thread you'd know it won't trip knox if it's unmodified Samsung firmware. Also, telling people to answer quick is rude. Please learn to read the thread before you ask questions, and learn this is a forum, people will answer as they see the question and when they have time.

How will installing this affect devices running in different regions? Will we start getting the UK updates from now on? Does this affect Wi-Fi in some way?
Sent from my SM-T710 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Can you install this on the t810? Might be as dumb question but they are identical?

If you FACTORY RESET AFTER installing SuperSu, You will need to reflash the marshmallow image again to re-root.

there're no news for the T810?

No files available for T810 yet... Just wait a little longer

You may not be able to connect to any Wireless N 5G networks as the UK uses another frequency range for that, however mine keeps appearing, then vanishing, so I'm not sure what that's all about
Another thing I noticed, it does NOT allow you to format your SD card as internal storage. I'm running Cm13 on an LF v400 that allows formatting a fast enough SD card as internal, so I'm not sure if that's some work done by the CM team or if Samsung has disabled this feature. It was my understanding that even Lollipop was supposed to do this but neither tablet will, so I thought at least Marshmallow 6 or 6.0.1 would, but with this UK ROM, I am unable to do so.

I rooted mine without tripping Knox... at least until it asked me if I wanted to disable Knox alerts, then it tripped the flag. I had rooted it twice before, without disabling and Knox was still flagged 0, so if you root it, DO NOT CHOOSE TO DISABLE THE WARNINGS ABOUT KNOX.

I believe it the update app checks the model and build number, so it's most likely you'll get the UK updates. You can always reflash the official US one once we get it (or which ever country you're from) and then it'll update the proper region

My gripe about not being able to format the SD card as Internal is pretty legit. Other devices it gives you both options when you format the SD card: Portable or as Internal storage.
The Galaxy Tab S2 with the UK firmware does NOT have the option.
You can, however, turn USB debugging on, authenticate the computer, and:
adb shell
sm list-disks
take note of the disk named, it should only list one like "disk:166:190"
type sm partition disk:166:190 private (To utilize the whole disk as internal)
or
type sm partition disk:166:190 private mixed 50 (To use 50% of the disk as internal and 50% portable) This method will show two disks when you plug the device into the computer, while the other aforementioned option will only show one - the now larger internal disk.

Maybe try this.
1) First, make sure "OEM Unlocking" is switched on in Developer Options in Settings before rooting or you will likely trip Factory Reset Protection in your device and get locked out, though FRP lock is also fixable.
2) Try flashing this TWRP here in the AP slot of Odin. At least a few people have said it works on their SM-G361F.

3) Boot into TWRP(by powering on the device and holding volume UP + HOME button). Then flash the SuperSU installable zip(not the app) in TWRP from here to root your device:

You do have to be in bootloader mode of course for Odin to install TWRP. If you weren't then you can get there by powering on the device and holding volume DOWN + the HOME button with the device plugged in. Then I think it's volume UP once to confirm. If you were in bootloader mode though, you will want to ask the people on that TWRP thread, particularly the ones who had success. Then, once you get TWRP running, try the SuperSU method for rooting.

I told you in step 1 to make sure OEM unlocking is switched on or that would happen. Did you do that? I'm not sure about the Value Edition of Core Prime, but you should have the option to do OEM unlocking in developer options. Just tap the "Build Number" in "About Device" in Settings about 7 times to add "Developer Options" to the Settings list, then check in there for the OEM unlocking switch. If you don't have one, then it means the Value Edition doesn't allow you to unlock your bootloader, which means you can't root.
Just flash the stock firmware in Odin from sammobile.com to fix the FRP lock. Pick the right one for your region and also flash it in the AP slot of Odin.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G361F/
Then follow the steps above to root properly.
NOTE: You can also try asking here to see if they either have made or can make a prerooted firmware for your device.

Of course - I DID.
Problem is when I used other version TWRP
Before this issue I install superSU in TWPR - but I haven't got root Then I had problem and I install stock ROM from KIES. Now I'm trying again...:/

Ok. If it doesn't work just request a prerooted firmware from the OP of that thread I linked you. Good luck!
EDIT: Another thing you can do, if you don't mind changing firmware versions is to go to the sammobile link I gave you above and click on all the ones for your country and write down all the PDA(Baseband) numbers that match your devices Product Code. You can determine the product code by downloading an app called "Phone INFO *Samsung*" on the Play Store and looking at "Active CSC Code" under the CSC Code tab. Afterwards you can try searching each PDA # on the prerooted firmwares thread to see if maybe the OP has already made a compatible firmware for your device. Might be worth checking anyhow.

Tab S2 8.0 (T710) Android N Firmware- link

Hello.
I have managed to get the update file for Android N for the T710 variant of the Tab S2. The version I'm linking is for the UK region.
Here is the mega.co.nz https://mega.nz/#!xAAFQDqa!rZSJEqdEjNZpK59xggKxVRKukLXNm2oi472I4Rx-JSs
Make sure the select all three files to flash: AP, BL and CSC.
As Dariusdd pointed out, the update clears all your user settings and files.

only t815 not got yet...

Thank a lot for sharing...much faster download ...

It worked fine, just a future warning for everybody who installs it: it will wipe your internal memory, move your Titanium Backup data to your SD card or PC (don't be like me).

I only selected the AP part of the install. Did you guys check the BL and CSC MD5's?

I did it with AP only as well and it's working fine. Came from stock 6.0.1.

I flashed all 3 files, also I can't seem to find the mobile hotspot options you've told us about. Might be because you didn't flash the other 2 files or because it was a dirty flash?

Thanks for the info. I flashed the rest of the files and the useless options are gone.

for those stuck in Odin, use Odin 3.12.3

First, you need to get Samsung USB Drivers from Here
then get odin from my link in the post, backup all your data because your internal sdcard will be wiped clean
power off your tablet, hold the home button, vol down and power it up, press vol up when asked to continue to Download Mode
Now, run Odin 3.12 and connect your device, you should see Added!! on the left side, extract the rom zip where you'll end up with 3 files (AP,BL,CSC), select the 3 files in their respective slots (AP will take some time) but when you're done, press start and wait for the tab to boot up
for rooting, download this twrp recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862710032
and download Magisk v12 from here: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
copy the magisk zip to your tab, power it off and again enter download mode, connect the tab and run odin, select options (2nd tab) and untick Auto Reboot, select the twrp in AP slot and click start
Once it says pass, hold down Power button and vol down to power off the tablet, but you'll have to quickly enter recovery mode by pressing the home and vol up button along with the power button.
Once in twrp, swipe to allow modifications, click install, browse to the magisk v12 zip file and install it, reboot to System and download magisk manager from play store.

Was just coming here to pust this. No 5GHz for NA, so we will need to hold out for a working copy. If you are intending to root it can be fixed, but I don't intend to.

Will it work on T715 Barnes Noble version?

There is already a T715 version which appeared even earlier yesterday. That one is for Italy, but it should be fine.
Anybody else having issues with their Samsung account after rooting the tablet? I can't seem to be able to connect anymore after rooting, also for other users of SD maid: do not clear anything, it seems that one of the app's options breaks auto brightness and auto rotation.

how did you root the tablet? supersu I presume, if yes then that's why it's breaking the brightness and wifi, root with magisk because i remember the note5 and s7 had the same issues when supersu wasn't updated and the ramdisk kept interfering with the drivers

I hoped that was the case, so I ended up clean flashing again and rooting with magisk last night, thinking that being a little newer it should work with Samsung's Android N.
I didn't have any issues with SuperSU either for several restarts, so I assumed it might've been because of SDmaid clearing the wrong stuff. Either way, I'll try backing up my /data before trying again, so that I won't have to reset the tablet for the 3rd time in case that was also related. LE: even after several reboots after clearing stuff with SD maid, I have yet to experience the difficulties I had while using SuperSU. Magisk is fine.
Also: I managed to make my Samsung account work properly now. I reset the "Samsung Account" application to its initial state (through SDmaid, but it might work with other stuff as well) and it let me log in properly.
