Gingerbreak is for Gingerbread.
AFAIK the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is on ICS, so short answer no

If you carefully follow directions, then it's never really scary.
One click root apps are pretty old now, they don't work on newer devices, so you'll probably have to "get your hands a little dirty" of you want to root

Probably, just don't pay too much. I'd say $15 is MAX, really don't want to get ripped off. Also, make sure you have some sort of "warranty" like if they brick it then they owe you a refund and full price of the tablet

He means you brick it beyond repair and it becomes "an expensive paper weight." Since a paper weight is a slightly heavy block of some sort to hold down your papers, a useless phone fits in that descriptionn

Purchased a Note 2 off Craigslist... need to Rom it but have questions

The phone has superuser on it already. I downloaded ROM manager to check the recovery and it has CWM and TWRP. Is it safe to install custom roms or is there other steps that I need to take? The baseband is vraljb.... Android version 4.1.1
Thank you in advance.

If you can boot into the custom recovery, you can flash a custom rom.

If its legit, then you got a killer deal. The cheapest GN2 that I've seen was $350 but it had a cracked screen. I see some for $200-250, but I am sure those are scams. The next time you buy a Verizon phone, call *611 and verify the ESN status before handing over money or trading phones. A legit seller will not mind at all.
