Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 - upgrade to Lollipop?

[maxtor]

I have an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3100, which was lying unused and I plan to revive it again. The battery is dead and I am planning to replace it, and then upgrade the Android version. My question is, can I upgrade Tab 2 P3100 to Lollipop?

Also, the battery costs Rs 2k - 3k at service centres but is available online for very cheap. The problem is that it is extremely difficult to replace it by myself(without the appropriate tools). The service centres insist on providing the battery also. Anyone knows a mobile repair shop in Delhi(South Delhi) which can do a good job of fitting a new battery on a Samsung tab? All the repair shops that I checked with in my area said that they can't do it.

Yeah Go to XDA they have all kind of ROMS to suit your needs...And i think you dont care about the tab so just flash ROMS and play around.

Thanks for all your replies. Actually I did try to open it but found it difficult. So let me try again after buying a replacement battery online.

Android M looks interesting. But anyone here tried putting it on a Galaxy tab 2 successfully? I saw a few videos which had comments which said that it failed for them, though I am sure there must have been successful installs too.

I am not using this device so can't verify this but before flashing any Rom read its xda thread carefully.

There is always a little risk while rooting and flashing ROMs,but if you do everything correctly you will be good.
Also look at the bugs section of the ROM that you are going to flash!

Excellent set of instructions! Worked like a charm. Thanks! How should we root the Tablet again once Lillipop is up and running?

Most custom ROMS comes pre rooted.

Most CM based ROMs are pre rooted you just have to enable developer option and allow root access.
