Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Root
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 has been rooted. A video will be up and attached here soon.
Method
I have gained root through using a modified boot.img from the gt-p3110 leak posted a few weeks ago, took me all day but here it is.
Note : I have only tested it on my device (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 ), its 2am est. and all my
testing cases are asleep (that being termitech lol)..
Standard YMMV
So big fat warning, I MAKE NO GUARANTEES THIS WILL NOT BRICK YOUR TAB,
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
Now with that unpleasantness out of the way.. with out further ado. I
present this very first root for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0!!
The method will have you using hemidall/heimdall-frontend there is a
way to put this all into an odin package but I’m too exhausted to do
so (for now).. Also I will not re-hash how to install or use
heimdall.. you can look that up on your own
Get it here:

Process
Once that is installed do the following:
reboot tablet into download mode
adb reboot download
launch heimdall-frontend
go to flash tab
load attached pit file (gt-p3110.pit)
Then from partion details choose “KERNEL”, click “Add”
then choose “Browse” and select the attached boot-bjr.img
choose “Start”
after the tablet reboots:
Code:
adb shell
./su
./gtab2-root.sh
Congratulations you are now rooted!
