Hi ya,
as a horrible nerd in flashing and customizing and after spending quite a bunch of time with reanimating my German Stock-ROM 4.2.2 Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Wifi + 3G (GT-N5100) I'd like to:
1.) publish the happy news that it survived
2.) Thanks to all the guys n girls in this forum giving me a tips and links through their postings
3.) Post some details how I at least did it... because i struggled with the device models and some recovery packs.
The situation was: I decided to set up my 100% factory and unrooted N5100 with a custom recovery to be able to make a ROM backup and then make a full factory wipe and and perhaps later try some other ROMs due to Samsungs famously ..&§$'!!!&... update politics. During some tries to get the custom recovery permanently running, I might have grabbed a wrong version because I looked all the time for the model T311... assuming that this is the former/internal/whatever type for my Galaxy Note 3 8.0 Wifi+3G...
and indeed there is a confusing mixture out there of who guys name this device and if you search you find much more stuff for "T3xx" than for "N51xx".
So, I took the wrong and after rebooting I got nothing than the disappearing samsung splash screen followed by "back-illuminated black".
All I was able to do war entering the download mode (POWER+VOL DOWN + HOMEBUTTON and releasing the POWER)
And to make a long story short this combination did it well:
ODIN 3.09

You are really confused about what you actually have. The 3g version of the 8 inch Galaxy Tab 3 is indeed the T311. The N5100 is a Galaxy Note 8. Those are 2 different devices and you should edit your post so you don't confuse other people.

done. cheers 4 ur comment!
Hi there Guys
I´m total new on Android.Have my SM-T520 since two Weeks know.My last Boyfriend teached me alot into
the Computer-things.BtW, if you think Im writing stupid ... im from Germany LoL ... My english has
rotten a little bit. So sorry ... have merci please with me.
So ... I was told: Every Computer online needs a Firewall.I searched for an APP for my new Tablet ...
... found one, but it want´s a root? Searched for ROOT and find:
androidpulp.blogspot.de/2014/03/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-pro-101
I did everything exactly written ... was very nervous " should I? Or better not? Uhhh ... This WARNINGS
My new sweet Tablet! But I did it !! and it WORKS !!! My biggest Computer-thing I ever done. :laugh: :good:
So, I put this CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5 File onto my Tablet.The "Root-Test"
was the installing of the AFWall+ Friewall ... It works! Great ! I rooted my Tab! Alone by myself !!
Told everyone from my Adventure the next Days.
But, I brought the Tab for relaxed surfing on my Sofa? (Couch?) and or streaming Movies from Sites to my
Samsung Smart TV.This SCREEN MIRRORING thing.I tested it a little BEFORE my rooting.I worked great.Now
it breaks up with a "Hardware Error" in the end of the connecting process.
So, searched again for that and found out that this Error came from the Root ... from the "Root-Counter",
I think? Searched again ... TRIANGLE AWAY app was found and installed.When I press RESET FLASH COUNTER
the app told me its resseting.But the counter dont go to zero ?? The last message told me
"... make sure you dont running a custom kernel ?? or custom recovery ..." ??
The TRIANGLE AWAY Flash Counter Status show to me:
Cuurent status:
Counter 1
Binary Custom
Device SM-t520
System Offical
When I put my Tab in this Download Mode? It says "ODIN Mode" itself?
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T520
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Offical
KNOX WARRENTY VOID: 1
AP SWREV: A1
I searched nearly a week ... landing a lot in this community here ... register on SAMMOBILE ...
thought that this File here is original:
sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32752
Model: SM-T520
Model name: GALAXY TabPRO 10.1 Wi-Fi
Country: Germany
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 1977750
Build date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 08:31:35 +0000
Product Code: DBT
PDA: T520XXUANF4
CSC: T520DBTANF1
MODEM: T520XXUANF4
But ... the File CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi ... was 21 MB big the File on SamMobile is 1,2 GB!! big.
I think I not right here.Im totaly confused now.Want to do this thing alone with no help from my Workmates.
It starts so good but now Im out of order.
ROM, Kernel, Firmware, Recovery ... all that I found with Google ?? I think I reached my Limit here.
SO, the Binary is the thing to do? Or ?? Is that a Kernel, ROM, Firmware or Recovery ??? This thing must be
original? Original to be able to reset the Counter to Zero and can do that SCREEN MIORRORING again?
My wish would be:
Keep the Root and the Firewall and also put the Counter to zero to be able to see the picture of my Tab on
my Samsung TV again.
PLEASE ... what kind of File do I need now?What I have to do with that?Is it possible to keep Firewall working
and ScreenMirroring?
Please does someone of you have a LINK that help me? What is a BINARY, please?
I THANK YOU all for reading my looong Story :good::good: Maybe someone knows what I have do do?
Greeting from Germany
Your Nina
too loong ? XD
Hmmmm .... to put it in short ...
Is it possible to have a rooted Tab AND use the
Samsung ScreenMirroring Funktion?
Please, how can I replace the custom BINARY with a stock Binary that
runs with my rooted system?
A Link or a good Searchword for Mrs.Google would help me so much.
Have a nice Evening

based on my experience with my other Smasung phones, yes it should work, as long as you are still running Stock firmware.

Thank you for your Answering
So,it may possible to keep root and firewall AND
use the screen-mirroring?
My problem is, what file do i need for that?
LoL ... I dont know the exactly name of and sadly l cant find out what kind of File?
A kernel, a firmware, a recovery or a rom?
I need a binary right? Or not?
What is a binary ... a rom kernel firmware or recovery?
I searched for hours now but cound find a Answer. :crying:
So, you mean I need a Firmware?
Please, do you have a Link? For the file and a how to do,maybe?
The Data is posted in my looong Story in my first post.
It starts so well and ended in a mission impossible for me now.
I thought someone here did it before with a sm-t520 10.0 pro tab.
Maybe ??
Have a Nice Day

1. Unfortunately, the Knox counter cannot be reset at this time.
2. If you have not installed any recovery, or other ROMs, Kernel, then you are running STOCK firmware.
3. Have you tried to reset your device and see if mirroring works? This is what I did with my S4 before and it worked, but I don't really know with the Tab pro because i have not rooted it as I want to use Knox.
4. If after you have reset your device, and screen mirroring does not work, try to download a STOCk firmware from www.samfirmware.com or www.samsung-updates.com and flash it to your device using ODIN - this is run on your COMPUTER with your Tab pro connected via USB cable. This will UNROOT your device. Then try to use screen mirroring again and see if it works. If screen mirroring works, then it means you can't root your devic if you want to use screen mirroring.
5. There are free firewalls on google play, but I have not used any of them so i cannot comment which one is the best.
I suggest before you make changes to your Tab Pro from now on, go and read more about rooting, flashing ROMs, flashing RECOVERY... it is best NOT to RUSH what you want to do as an ERROR on your part might cause more problems.
a lot of THANKS

Thank you !
I will test that RESET with TriangleAway and then test ScreenMirroring this afternoon. Nice Idea :good: Hope it works.
I only put CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5 one Time to my Tablet and it was the only
thing I put on with Odin.
My Problem with this Firmware-Download-Sites samfirmwar is, that my File:
Model: SM-T520 PDA: T520XXUANF4
(I cant put a Link in my Postings)
is too big!! It´s 1,2GB big and the File i did (CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5) is only
21MB.Could that be right?? My only nonStock-File on my Tab is the BINARY, as TriangleAway and
the Download Page said.
I read a lot last two weeks ... i looked for me like theres no solution at that Time.
Couldn't find a Posting like "rooted SM-T520 WITH SreenMirroring"
Maybe my Tab its to new? Read from Lib-Files that must be changed but not for the SM-T520.
Thanks for your help !! I will test your Point 3 a little later. Hope ...
Have a nice Day

Chainfire doesn't flash a new system. It replaces your recovery, then adds some files to root your existing /system, and then replaces your recovery with a stock version (which may be different than the stock version your started with, but is a Samsung recovery at least).
That's why it is so much smaller.
I'm guessing here because I have not entirely figured out what Samsung has done with their Digital Rights Management stack. But, screen mirroring may have issues because it may require DRM keys (probably hdcp keys) and by tripping Knox it may be going from DRM level 1 for which it has keys to DRM level 3 for which the device may not have usable keys.
I agree with the recommendation to try using Odin to undo everything except tripping the Knox counter. That's your best shot.

Sounds like you are much into it.
But I understand nearly half what you write about DRM and so. But THANKS for your Time.
Because of you I know now why it is so big.
I started the 1.2GB Download at the End of my last Posting ... still 6 hours left :silly: to finish. 30kb sec
So, when Download is ready and I put it with Odin on my Pad ... is the complete System new then?
The Binary is then Stock or offical and I can put the Counter with TriangleAway to zero?
Read this morning that this wont go because its now Hardware based. a fuse or so.
So I do the big File on my Pad to get the complete stock System back and the ScreenMirroring option running?
Sorry for my stupid ... I read really a lot ... but its also a lot of "ways" and "to do" written out there.
The Test resetting with TriangleAway and test the ScreenMirroring didn't worked here.
The Pad is scanning long Time but couldn't find the TV.Yes ... it´s in the allowed List in Menu.
Did the same as before the root.But the Idea was good.
In all the "how to root" Sites in the Internet should written that some functions wound´t work after root as Warning ... ... maybe ... special for rooters like me
I read we can unroot the Pad with SU.Looked in the Menu ... there´s really a Point called unroot.
But that wound´t bring ScreenMirroring back or? Sounds to easy, or?
So, see you next Time
Bye for now your Nina

totally agree
i think our german girl must have stuffed something up during flashing
flash back it to the original stock rom using odin and keep it as unrooted. my wife has an unrooted p600 and to honest, i cant see any point to root her device at all. based on what she or probably this girl wants to use it for.
So, after rooting my tab 3 lite T110, i decided to install chainfire 3d but it's stuck on the reboot. Please Help !!!

Re-flash the stock firmware via Odin
Chainfire 3d is not supported by T110 (I think )
Here is another one.
New guy 1 or 2 post.
Claiming that rooting brought him to "stuck reboot"
Soon you will see him claiming he has no Wifi or DATA!
Clearly this is a question for help. I am not complaining about that. Because if you see he got an answer in less than 5 hours. If he did wrote in Tab3 QA it may had pass even days before he got an answer.
My point is to Raise a Flag that this is happening tooo often. Samsung is doing something different in Tab3! Beware.
to AkramGamer01
Agreed, if you do not have a Backup so that you can Restore, your best chance is "Re-flash the stock firmware via Odin"
Hi. First of all this is not a standard "bought in China" thread.
Phone is Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250
Althought the phone was sold as new it was pre rooted with a custom ROM which I believe came from SlimRoms.
I have some experience rooting my previous phones but for some reason nothing works on this phone. I've tried CM but always fails, same with downloading ROMS direct from ClockworkMod.
I would really like to change it to run CM but to be honest any change would be welcome but its like something I've never encountered before is blocking any change.
If anyone could help me I'd be a very happy man
I've attached a screenshot from the phone showing the kernel and ROM it came with.

Hi! I think in your situation the best way for your nexus is to restore all to stock flashing the google factory image (you can find it here)
After that you can start to reunclock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery or what you prefer.
Tell me if u have some problem to flashing the factory image
Hi, thanks for the advice, I thought you were onto something but unfortunatly not. I have no idea what the seller did to this phone but its like its locked out. I can't get any computer, software or comand to recognise it. It's as if once it conects to the computer its nothing more than a USB even in bootloader it's not seen.
I have a Samsung Galaxy J2 Dash. The info on this site says that it has 8Gs of storage. I actually have 16Gs. Why the discrepancy? And can you please help me with figuring out how to root this phone. I'm new to this and don't wanna mess up my phone. Thank you.

Hey. Yeah I was wondering the same. It also says that it is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, has me scratching my head right now
Hi everyone,
I'm new to XDA and have arrived with a pretty annoying issue that I hope can be fixed.
lately I have been able to up until recently install Custom Rom's on my Samsung SM-G532 however for some reason once installing a rom and installing Open GApps I encounter a security error while attempting to booting the device into either Recovery or the Kernel. Booting into download mode works fine. I have tried everything from resetting the stock rom before re-flashing to completely wiping all sys data and dalvik and cache partitions but to no avail. Hopefully some insight can be provided since this annoying issue has brought my playing around to a stand still. the red text at the the top says custom binary blocked by frp but there wasnt a reset after putting my account on the new rom
Thanks
Sam
