ROOT THE T-MOBILE SGSII​
This Method will flash a recovery Image and then you can flash the superuser .zip file to root the phone.
This requires minor knowledge. But BE CAREFUL Because this can harm your phone!
First Things you need to have:
*You Need ODIN 1.8++(CLICK ME)
*The USB Drivers for Our SGSII
*Clockworkmod which you are going to flash via ODIN
Code:
md5sum - 8bf6802a84d85aa7da0c1976c0f129d1
*Superuser+Su files to flash thru clockworkmod later on!
*SDCARD installed for CWR
How to Root the phone...
*Before We get things rolling, Make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.
*Put the Superuser .zip file on your internal SD
*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.
*On ODIN, Select the PDA button and browse to the recovery-cwm-hercules.tar
*Select Start and see the magic do its thing.
*It should flash the file to Recovery and reboot the phone.
*Take the battery out again and now boot into recovery
*Power off phone, unplug USB, Hold Both Vol up + Vol down and Hit power
*PERFORM NANDROID BACKUP FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY*
*Select Install zip from sdcard, choose the Superuser .zip and let it finish.
*Reboot!
*Now Lets delete some bloat ok? Be careful of what you delete!
***Thanks To Slayher for ROOTING the phone, i just created this small guide for you all to use.
Thank u.....first time being first

I would definitely recommend you find a rooted stock PC36IMG.zip, place it on your SD card, and see if the bootloader recognizes it. Something on that screen looks weird - you haven't done anything that may have corrupted your bootloader, have you?

Try to reflash your Hboot from Recovery. It does look weird.

I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) and I am having a hard time getting into the CWM recovery. Granted, the CWM recovery stays put, but getting into it is the problem. I hold down both volume buttons + power and my phone brings up "shell has been granted super user permissions" over and over.
The only way I can get into CWM is by installing ROM manager and selecting the option to boot into the recovery. I'm just afraid when something goes wrong and I need to go into recovery, I can't and basically screwed lol. If someone could give me some info or help me diagnose the problem I'd greatly appreciate it.

which version of CWM?
Look in your super user app and see if the logging is set to access only. If it's not change it & try again.

Use fastboot to flash a recovery image and from there flash a ROM. With a little digging I think there is even a way to fastboot flash a ROM, or you could always use a RUU and just root it again.

flash one of the factory images using fastboot. you can then install cwm and copy whichever ROM you want to and flash it in recovery

Do not use the Toolkit! Higher chance of bricking devices! Just use fastboot commands, what's wrong with that?
On your computer, just download a ROM, put it in the same directory as adb and fastboot, type in "adb push ROMNAME.zip /sdcard/" while on recovery mode. Not that hard! This way, you can educate yourself, so you don't need to ask for help again!

It sounds like your drivers may not be installed correctly. A few posts above yours is one by efrant. Read through the guides linked in his sig. One of them has some great information about drivers and making sure you've got them installed right. It looks a little intimidating at first, but read through a couple of times and it won't seem quite so overwhelming. If you're like me and need some information to compare against, check out Jubakuba's guides as well. They are both covering about the same thing, just explaining it a little differently.

The toolkit wont help you now, will it?
Uninstall drivers, reboot pc, put phone in recovery, connect to pc, feed it the naked drivers, use adb binary for windows which i'm sure is attached to one of the few guides.
Push the rom, flash, done.

Go into recovery, mount usb storage and connect it to the computer. Copy the rom you want in your sd card, then unmount. Do a factory reset, and install the rom trough recovery. Then boot into fastboot, take kernel on pc and flash it. If you need more help, find me on hangouts or gtalk, it's easier to help there. I'll pm you my email.

I'll help here then even if it's slow.
Your phone is not bricked, it just doesn't have a rom in it. If you can't mount usb storage, try taking the micro sd out and use an adapter to connect it to the computer, or try another sd. When you manage to open the micro sd on the computer, you need to copy a rom in it.
Each rom has its kernel, so when you download a rom, check the thread for the kernel that goes with it. You MUSTN'T flash other phone 's roms. You are gsm so you can find the roms in HTC One V android development and original android development. The cdma section is not for us gsm. Download the rom you like and its kernel. Copy the rom in your micro sd, unplug it and put it in your phone. Now boot into recovery. Do a factory reset, or if you have twrp recovery wipe everything but not the sd. Now go to install zip, and select the rom in your micro sd and install it. Now you have to flash the kernel. Reboot into fastboot mode and connect the phone to the pc. It should say fastboot usb. On the pc, open cmd and locate the folder where you put the kernel. I have a fastboot folder on desktop where I put all the kernels, so I type cd Desktop/fastboot. Now, in cmd type "fastboot devices" if it gives you some numbers you can go on and flash the kernel, if it says "waiting for device" you have to install fastboot drivers. Once you get fastboot devices working, you can flash kernel. Type "fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img" and wait for it to complete (it takes 2 seconds maybe). Done, reboot your phone and wait for it to boot up. First boot takes some minutes!
I hope you can fix it with this. If you need more help I'm here. :beer:

Hi,
Is there anyone who managed to root his/her Tab 3 10.1 ?
I tried it several ways, but, no luck
I now have firmware version JDQ39.P5210XXUAMG6 and SuperSU installed (by rooting/flashing via Odin), it was a pre-rooted firmware. (Android version is 4.2.2.)
But the problem is, SuperSU wants to update the SU binary, or else it won't work. Then I can choose between CWM/TWRP or Normal recovery.
I've tried everything but it just doesn't work.
When I choose for Normal recovery, it just reboots into recovery and then doesn't do anything.
When I choose for CWM/TWRP recovery, it's the same problem.
I already have flashed the other recoveries and tried both options, for both recoveries, but, again, no luck
Oh and using Superuser instead of SuperSU, doesn't help either. It has the same problem.
Other superuser apps don't work, too.
Yes, almost forgot, enabling USB Debug Mode does not help, neither with flashing pre-rooted firmware again, with USB Debug Mode on.
Thanks in advance...

I followed this guide for root and recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432467
Only things to beware of:
uncheck the reboot option in odin and just hard power down the device after flashing the recovery.
Cwm only will use an external micro card (sees it as sdcard) so put the root zip there.
Vol up and down seem backwards to me.
Good luck. -- Bud

Same worked for me without issue. I would go with factory reset(wipe everything if your having issues with SU) and then use the files from DutchDanny's thread.

Hello,
I just pulled my tab out of the box and when I turned wifi on it started downloading system update. In fact just finished downloading it. I'm wondering if I allow it to upgrade will I still be able to use Bindroid's root method. Anybody allow the upgrade then root? I have the att variant of galaxy s4 and i know there were a lot of people that got boned when they allowed the build upgrade before rooting because of the bootloader... I'm currently on MI8 build on my P5210. Under update info it just says size and "improved stability." I'm probably just paranoid from the s4 but just curious if there was any insight out there. Benzo I quoted you because I've seen your name a lot helping out.
Thanks!
no video in vudu or netflix after root via bindroid
Hi I rooted my gt-p5210 a coup,e of times thru bindroid. All works well, a little laggy but thats expected. Only problem ive found is that netflix and vudu both load all tbe way but neither will play the video its goes to video buffering then restarts the app. Any Ideas? Btw I used oden and cwm.

I've updated and have rooted and gone back to stock and rooted again several times. Never any issues. Ymmv.

Excuse my ignorance here, but "laggy" ?
My rooted Tab3 doesn't seem to show any lag at all ?
Is it the general consensus that 'rooted' devices experience lag ?

Agree. Probably meant the recovery app (cwm or twrp) is laggy which it is. I would guess the chip is in a power saving mode under the recovery apps and no one has figured out how to fix this. -- Bud
