Question about CWM - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, wondering if somebody could help me. I rooted my galaxy tab 3 8.0 t310 and installed CWM using a guide (that i can't show you because i'm not allowed to post links).
And when I booted in recovery, it was in a funny resolution and looked different. When I pressed to volume buttons to navigate the menu, each time I were to press the button the menu would disappear entirely and then re appear when I pressed it again and moved onto the next selection on the menu.
My question is, is this fine, or should I use TWRP instead? And how would I go about changing? (I'm used to rooting and flashing roms but I've never flashed a new recovery on its own) - there is a download for TWRP on the page.

Go to THIS post.
Scroll to the bottom of the post to where the links for philz_touch_6.00.8 are located. If you want to flash the KitKat builds, then choose philz_touch_6.00.8-t310-blackhawk-next-selinux.zip, if you don't want KitKat, then choose philz_touch_6.00.8-t310-blackhawk-next.zip.
You can flash these zips in your current CWM and then reboot recovery. You will like Philz Touch recovery better than CWM. It is actually based on CWM 6.0.4.5, but has touch interface and more features.

Hi, don't have recovery (everything stock) on my tablet and want to install CM 11. My problem is that don't want to use hamidall software because on windows 8.1 don't work as readme file (i want to do with minimum risk). So my question is: Can I install some other version of recovery via odin and then re-flash with it philz_touch_6.00.8-t310-blackhawk-next.zip recovery. If I can, can you recommend which recovery to use to do that.

Download the utility in THIS thread. It will turn any recovery.img into an Odin flashable tar.md5 file.
Download the correct Philz recovery for your tablet.
Extract the recovery.img from the zip.
Use the utility linked above to make the recovery.img into recovery.tar.md5.
Flash it with Odin. Select it in the PDA slot.
Make sure you uncheck auto-reboot in Odin, hit START; then boot directly to recovery when Odin shows the "RES OK" message.

Thank you! Do I need to use next kernel if i don't want dual boot for CM11?
EDIT: unfortunately this tool do not work. I unzip both, put recovery.img in tool folder but don't do anything when I run Runme.
But thank you if there is another way please post me. Thank you for help and development.

Here is the T310 selinux version that will allow you to flash CM11. Unzip it and you will have the recovery.tar.md5. Let me know if you need the T311 or T315.

JB-MR1 Help!

Hi all, I was on AKOP's milestone ROM before trying to flash their newest one. I did not do anything to the kernel or anything by the way.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 and I rebooted into recovery and flashed super dark side wipe and then JB-MR1 and then gapps.
I went through the entire start up process with inputting your information and then finally I got into the actual home screen. I clicked around to see how the UI looked and then decided to reboot through the menu.
It was in the rebooting animation icon for at least 30 min before I decided to pull the battery. I want to wipe and start again but my cwm recovery isn't installing anything.
EDIT: The phone still works as I can boot into the phone and use it. I'm trying to reboot now: power button hold>reboot, but its taking ages still...need help on this reboot thanks
Any help here?
EDIT 2: Pretty much phone is "functional" but any method of trying to reboot or reboot into recovery fails
Thanks all!
Check the Md5 hash to make sure it is a good download.
Otherwise it sounds like it is CWM that can be causing issues.
Which version of gapps are you flashing?

Checked the Md5 with an app and it matches up perfectly with akop's main website.
I'm running 6.0.2.8 cwm. Is it even possible that its cwm? I used the same version to flash AKOPs new ROM.
and im flashing gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
Does it have anything to do with my kernel?
You aren't supposed to use super wipe with cwm 6. That is probably your problem.

Thanks so much for pinpointing the problem! Is there a fix to this?
And is this the recommended method of flashing? (Taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754):
1. Wipe factory data/reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Wipe dalvik
9. Flash ROM then gapps
10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.
11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )
Edit:
Pretty sure my phone is bricked now... in a continuous boot up loop... BUT i can still access recovery

Yes, those are the proper flashing instructions for CWM6.
It sounds like you have a soft brick. I think your best bet is to Odin back to stock. Have a look here:

You sir are a saving grace!

I have 2 questions though.
1. in regard to kernels. Do i need to do anything (aka change my kernel?) Or is the stock kernel suitable for 4.2.1?
2. If i cant boot into my phone to get to my SD card, how do i download and put files onto my phone?

Stock kernel is just fine.
Odin will flash the stock OS to your phone from the computer. Make sure to read the Odin directions a few times before trying it because it could hard brick if something goes wrong.

I'm trying to read through the thread you gave me but its kinda cluttered and its hard finding exactly where to start...pointers?
From the first post of that thread you will need
1. The prerequisites
-Odin
-Drivers
-Kies(dunno if this is mandatory but I guess it couldn't hurt.)
2. T-Mobile t989 uvlhi stock ROM(Odin)
You will need some type of zip software to extract the files from this.
3. Follow the steps under Installation - Odin installation(skip step 1)
After you get the stock ROM running you can install custom recovery and then flash your custom ROMs.

You are welcome. You are now unrooted so you have to download the recovery of your choice to the internal SD card and flash it from the stock recovery. After you reboot back into recovery you can flash a ROM and you will be rooted.

That should do it. You won't be rooted until you install a custom ROM though(they come already rooted).

I actually got cwm 5.0.2.7 on my phone through odin. I just need root now to upgrade it to the most recent version.
I've been seeing busybox paired with superuser.
Do i need busybox? Or can i just flash superuser through cwm recovery 5.0.2.7?

And you expect anybody to bother to help you when you use such ridiculously generic topic titles like this that leave absolutely no description of topic for people browsing forum?
Any questions you have will have already been answered, I would highly recommend going and reading some topics before you try anything because there is plenty of info/guides on how to install roms.
Also watch this official XDA video..
Maybe you can search in the original post or in his own page the way to made it. have a nice day
you need to:
1. ROOT - downoad odin 3.09 and Philz touch recovery for n7100. Run odin and in AP choose Philz *.tar file, turn off phone, enter download mode(VOL-, Home, Power), connect note with pc (you need kies drivers) and flash
2. download supersu 1.65 from chainfire's site and flash it in recovery (vol+, home, power). choose install zip in recovery and choose supersu1.65.zip ftom phone
3. make EFS backup via kTool or in ROM aroma installer from dr.ketan
4. flash omni rom just like supersu.
have fun
The thread is already showing you the method of flashing, Bro.

Flashing the TWRP is the same way as you flashed Root.
Is this what you used ?
CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
If so ODIN was in there.... You are using the same method to flash the custom recovery. If you didn't use that file above, that may be part of your problem.
The only way to get rid of the Knox messages is to disable it. Flashing the Update SU file will do that.

That is fine.... That file was in the zip file I posted....
You flash the recovery file the same way.. Then you follow the instructions to boot into recovery. After you copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip to your external sdcard or sdcard.
Then follow the TWRP flashable zip install instructions. Takes less than 15 minutes for the whole process.
After it flashes, go to the supersu app, click it should pop and ask to disable Knox.
Or try and reflash the CF-auto-root file since you have done that already. Pay attention to the status screen makes sure it completes successfully.

So I pretty much have Flash the recovery file to install CWM correct? And then I boot into recovery mode, So I could then flash the superuser update? I think thats how it goes.. Lol im sorry it's kinda confusing.

Correct. The recovery file is the custom recovery.
There are two main types of custom recoveries.
- CWM, ClockWorkMod, which comes in a touch format or a format you need to use your power button, up/down volume keys to navigate.
- Or TWRP, Team Win Recovery Project To start with use TWRP, I think it is the easier of the two to use.
You have the steps correct.
1. Flash the TWRP custom recovery file in ODIN. (same method you attempted with the CF-AUTO-Root)
2. Reboot into recovery.
Power off phone.
Wait a minute and turn it back on. To boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) while it is powering on. Do this quickly after turning phone on, within seconds of powering on.
3. You'll see a screen that says Team Win Recovery Project at the top with about six grey buttons on a black background
Click install.
Upon hitting Install, you’re presented with the files and folders on your phone’s storage, from which you can select the file you want to flash. Find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip.
With the file selected, you can swipe the slider to confirm and start flashing the selected file.
4. Once the flashing process is complete, TWRP gives you some handy options for quick access to certain tasks that many users would need to perform after flashing, eliminating the extra steps required to pick them from their individual sections. These include wiping cache and dalvik cache, and rebooting the system, in addition to a Home shortcut.
Click reboot. Then go to SuperSU app and test it.

Click install.
Upon hitting Install, you’re presented with the files and folders on your phone’s storage, from which you can select the file you want to flash. Find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip.
With the file selected, you can swipe the slider to confirm and start flashing the selected file.
4. Once the flashing process is complete, TWRP gives you some handy options for quick access to certain tasks that many users would need to perform after flashing, eliminating the extra steps required to pick them from their individual sections. These include wiping cache and dalvik cache, and rebooting the system, in addition to a Home shortcut.
Click reboot. Then go to SuperSU app and test it.

So I pretty much just flash TWRP and then I understand from there. But what do I need to flash CWM for then?

Close your eyes and erase CWM from your mind.... Think happy TWRP flashing thoughts.
They are technically both the same thing. They do the same thing.

[Q] cm11 goomanager install twrp but cant replace cwm

As the title said, I just flashed a custom rom into my device ( CM11 kitkat 4.4.2)
Its the first time i root and flash my device
So now, goo manager told me that there is an update available for my device, i follow the instruction of it by downloading it
after that it pop up saying that my device need to have an open script recovery, (I searched youtube, they usually use twrp to update the CM custom ROM), so press yes and it started to download + install
There's a small pop up that saying I have installed twrp on my device, but when i press on reboot into recovery, it shows CWM recovery, even I try reboot into recovery by using ROM Manger.
How do I solve this ?
I just want to install TWRP and uninstall CWM as they said TWRP works better with CM version ?
and one small question, can i delete the zip file that i use to flash the ROM in my external sdcard, and the zip file that i have to use to update after flashing them or updating them ?

Cause you need to reflash your recovery.If you downloaded a zip file boot in CWM and flash the recovery zip file.If you downloadeded .tar.md5 file you need to put your phone into download mode ,open odin on your laptop and flash the recovery file (you need to transfer the .tar.md5 file to your laptop).Well you shouldn't delete your current ROM zip file to be honest you should have atleast have one ROM zip file (with the appropriate add ons needed ) just incase you run into trouble you can always flash the ROM from scratch (incase you don't have a back up of it on your sd card) I always keep one touch wiz ROM and one CM11 ROM zip file along with zip files of philz touch and twrp recovery (i don't do nandroid backups-personal choice) on my sd card.

Correct,that's how one replaces their existing recovery with another recovery.At end of flashing the zip file ,go back to main menu and click on "reboot recovery" ,You'll see your new recovery

Thanks you really helped me a lot
sorry for late reply as my replies are limited because im just new to here
By the way, one more question is is there anyway i can flash back to my stock rom but remain rooted?
and what if i want to unroot it
because i found this ROM quite buggy as in the camera app, i am a person that will take picture everyday, panaroma is quite important to me
i found this camera is very very very poor haha
furthermore, whenever in a skype call, i will hear nothing if i plugged in my earphone o.o
so i will probably flash back to stock rom but remain rooted is case of flashing other more stable rom

SM-T800 on Marshmallow 6.0.1 - How do you root or install TWRP on this?

I was previously on cm12.0 but wanted to get back to stock for 6.0.1. Got back to stock but now I can't stand the bloat. Has anyone rooted the stock 6.0.1 yet?

Just flash TWRP with Odin then flash the supersu zip through TWRP.
Thanks. I got through it all. It's been a while since I've rooted this tablet. My Linux laptop and Virtualbox eventually played nice. Also, apparently any old cord doesn't work. I had to use the original Samsung USB cable for Download Mode to work.

Thanks for the heads-up..
As I've never used TWRP before (always rooted with Chainefire''s CF-Auto-Root still not available for SM-T800 6.0.1), could you please post a quick step-by-step on how to root the new Marshmallow 6.0.1 on a SM-T800.
Much appreciated..

This link is not for our tablets but is the same process. Just make sure you find the correct TWRP version for the T800. Once you have TWRP installed find Supersu and copy it to your tablet's SD card. Use TWRP to install Supersu. http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/install-twrp-recovery-samsung-android-using-odin/

I'm also on MM 6.0.1 having just bought this device. I'd like to install this rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/rom-android-6-marshmallow-tab-s-10-5-lte-t3219759
So how do I go about it please? Do I need to unlock the bootloader?
:edit: Followed the guide and got TWRP installed. Downloaded the Gapps (very slow download), SuperSu zip and Nougat rom from here. Did a wipe of dalvik, cache, data and system. Sorted. Only problem is I bought the tablet for reading comics and for some reason my comic reading apps can't "see" the cbr files on the micro SD.
So I have tried re downloading Odin and Twrp and flashing it. It passes Everytime. But when I boot to recovery with power home and vol up. It goes to Android recovery. Any tips solutions you could help me with? Thanks very much in advance
After flashing twrp in odin did you reboot to recovery ? Pretty sure u need to reboot to recovery to get it to "stick",
Otherwise I believe your tab will change it back to origanal recovery
DOWNLOAD:
1) Install the TWRP app from the Play Store or grab the apk from our website
2) Open the app, agree to the terms, and enable root access
3) Select TWRP Flash

OR:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed
1) Download the latest version from our website on your device
2) Reboot to TWRP
3) Hit Install and tap the "Images..." button in the lower right
4) Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
5) Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website.
I had the same problem and I solved it by chance by finding a post online. It seems that after you flash TWRP with Odin it is indeed properly installed but you can't access it because when you boot into recovery it boots into Samsung's recovery. To get to TWRP you need to do the following:
1. Power off your Galaxy Tab S 10.5. Wait 6-7 seconds after screen goes off.
2. Press and hold the three buttons Power + Home + Volume down together until you see warning screen.
3. Press Volume Up to continue to download mode.
4. Reboot again pressing POWER + HOME +VOL DOWN but as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons and wait.
5. Voila TWRP!
I hope it worked for you as it did for me.
Yes
