[Q] Please Help Me! Tab 3 10.1 Lost internal storage - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help really bad!
Excuse me, my english! I'm from Finland.
Here is my problem.
I have less than a month old Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 wi-fi (GT-P5210)
I rooted tab with these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531784
Everything went fine, with the rooting I mean.
But then, I installed app GL to SD(root) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp&hl=en
After install, I opened GL to SD(root) app. And I intended to move games from internal memory to external microsd.
It informed me something of rebooting, with very poor finnish translate. I accepted and device booted.
After reboot I noticed, that device has difficulties with internal memory. File browser just flashing and in settings->storage just hangs in calculating.
Google play store keeps crashing and when I connect tab to pc it show internal memory size 128Mb (and it should be 16Gb).
I uninstalled GLto SD(root) app, and hope for tab to normalize. But it didn't work. I restored tab to factory settings. But nothing.
My internal memory is gone and I can't install any apps cause Play Store won't work.
Please help me. I need to get this tab working again. How to I recover internal memory back to 16Gb?
Plese help.:crying:

No I haven't. What do you mean with "new" firmware?

I mean like a rom

It wasn't exactly a guide...
It was about 40 emails between dev and me.
There were couple of trys, which didn't take affect.
But with Root explorer, I checked that there is sdcard.backup file in /system/bin/, then
I deleted /system/bin/sdcard and copied sdcard.backup to /system/bin/
Reboot.
It didn't yet make any difference.
Later renamed sdcard - copy.backup to sdcard (which should had done at first place, I think).
Then I installed Terminal emulator and after commandlines:
----------------------------------
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chown root.shell /system/bin/sdcard
chmod 755 /system/bin/sdcard
chcon ubject_r:sdcardd_exec:s0 /system/bin/sdcard
----------------------------------
and Reboot. I finally got it working.
I will not take any responsibility of these instructions.
I was guided by dev of that app which caused problems with my device.
Developer is tnslf2k and he is registered user here on xda-developers forums.
If someone face similar problems,I suggest to turn to developer of problem causing app.
I personally got help fast and I'm verry happy with "customer service".

Im not versed in command line stuff. But can someone advise what these command lines did ?
Does it sound like his "sdcard" path got changed or deleted ? And that made it disappear?
And the command lines restored the path or name ?
Just wondering.
Thanks - glad it got fixed.

Here I did a script for you, it has the same command lines
download and install "rom toolbox lite" then open it then "scripter" then "add" on top right then import the script which is inside the zip file then tap on "fix sd card" then run and execute as root
but this script only works if you have done a back up so do as he said

step 10 problem SOLVED
Figured it out! thnx to @ kentexcitebot
I went through C:\Users\name\.flashTool\firmwares and deleted the "prepared" folder under the folder "firmwares".
That fixed the problem, apparently.
Now device is about to boot.. waiting for boot complete

yes... my bad.. you need to update steps.. as someone else might get same problem.
root access worked properly. :good:
now my problem is xposed installer.. how to install?
tried flashing zip, but device won't boot.
Xposed is not not available for our device yet...Wait until it fixed for our device. .. You can delete all xposed files to get rid on bootloop.
Solution
1. Flash recovery kernel from #1 post
2. Get rid on Xposed bootloop HERE manually : no flash required
I am not being harsh
I am just letting know what is happening, sorry if I sound harsh
already uninstalled xposed.
ok, so finally I manage to get it working,
1st performed clean installation of 5.0.2 ftf
then followed steps 1 to 9
then deleted the "prepared" folder under the folder "firmwares", (If existed).
then followed step 10 & 11.
started device & updated everything.
I got proper root access & everything is working fine :good:
Thank you :good:
Only problem is, cant boot in Recovery now, after everything is done successfully.

Swipe from top-left to bottom-right at the Asus logo. That gets you to fastboot mode, then swipe up and down to change menu items, swipe right to select.
Or you can enable debug mode and use adb reboot recovery.

You are a hero. I have looked for the better part of 2 hours for this. Anyway I'll sideload the LP update and start over. Hopefully somebody can make use of the recovery and boot pulls and get us a working recovery.
I would be very interested in REMOVING the Wellness app. This is the only reason I want root. Guess I will need to wait until we have a root enabled file manager. Alas, I can write in C++ fairly well, but know nothing of coding for android. Be glad to test any recoveries and operating systems on my ZenWatch.

It can be done without a file manager. If you have root, you can enable debugging, connect to a PC by USB, use adb to get a root shell, then adb uninstall package_name.

Es File Explorer works fine and has an OK interface when on the watch. Also the KingRoot app that gets pushed has an uninstaller too for system apps. The biggest issue I've had is that when the prompt to allow root comes up you can not select allow. You have to cover the screen to back out, then go into KingRoot and open the log, then select the app you want to allow and set it to always allow. You have to do this after the initial failed prompt.

You have to download the normal phone apk from apkmirror or some other site and use adb to sideload it. Google sideloading apps to Wear, should work the same for any watch. Otherwise you can buy Apps2Wear on the play store. I have done that because its more convenient.
Ok, went through the whole process, is there a way to check root access using ADB?
You should have KingRoot app installed on your watch. That will tell you if you have root. I imagine you could try to pull some files from /system or something that would normally not be accessible. I wouldn't recommend writing to system yet. I soft bricked by watch just by pasting a modified build.prop over the original, trying to turn off low bit depth ambient mode.
Root confirmed, having issues side-loading the ES File explorer apk, though. I'm using the App2Wear method. Still trouble shooting.

Make sure you have adb debugging and adb bluetooth debugging enabled on watch. Make sure you have usb adb debugging turn on on phone. Then make sure you have bluetooth debugging turn on in Wear app. Make sure you do these in that order because the toggle in the wear app wont show up unless you have debugging enabled on phone first.
This is the KingRoot file you need for windows.

Sorry, they are .img. They were pulled using Flashify. The extension must have been stripped when I uploaded them to Drive.

If it fails this time, I will connect it to ADB with command line and manually push the apk onto the watch. I will give it until after dinner to complete the process.
Cant get it to install, and adb says its an invalid apk file when i try to push it. I suppose its not really necessary anyway. Ill just use KingRoot app if I need to do file management.

Did you confirm the apk was good? I'd try installing it on your phone. I don't think KingRoot has file management capabilities.
On a side note, I would advise against uninstalling anything. I just went to flash the previous OTA and it failed because I didn't have Jawbone installed.

Your port is closed, please check device manager>port and instead of com4 that being request why send command on com5?
Not entirely sure what you mean?
When I click on ports.bat in my adb folder it says it sees the device on port 5.
I'm lost.....please help:crying:
Here's another screenshot with it showing port 4....but still it fails to get the ID of the phone to enter into LG website to get code.
I get to this point in the screenshot below, where i have to enter "id" but nothing happens...just a blinking cursor when i enter id and press enter.
Any ideas?
thanks
Matt

Hi buddy are you using the right com port because you need to choose the diag1 com port not the other one , also ignore what it says in device manager just use the com port from the lg root tool which is diag1... And one last thing are you on marshmallow or lollipop??

Download twrp 3.0.2.0 and save it in the same place as your adb files , then open a command window by holding shift and right mouse click and do these commands -
adb devices
(This will check if the device is connected you should see a number next to device)
adb reboot bootloader
(This simply reboots your phone ready to flash)
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img
(Make sure the twrp name is the same as the command)
Hit enter and you should have twrp installed on your device...

Go to the settings of your phone and press on build number around 8 times until it says you are a developer then enable USB debugging and tick the box that says enable OEM unlock and try again , also make sure when you connect the phone to the PC select mtp connection for USB ...

Twrp and xposed for j6+

Hey everyone, i saw the new galaxy j6+ an i liked it. It's cheap with good specifications. Just wanna ask if there's a compatible twrp, root and xposed released for this device. If not i guess I'll wait an extra month or buy another device.
I tried to patch the boot image via magisk but it didn't work as well

I rooted my j6+ with magisk patched boot.img
Im sure you know the steps but just in case,
1. Do a full backup, cz you'll need to reset your device after rooting
2- go to dev options and turn on oem unlock
3- download magisk manager
4- download the rom of your device, extract it, then open ap with 7zip,extract the boot.img.lz4 with 7 zip standard
5- place the boot.img on your j6+
6- open magisk manager, it'll ask you if you want to install, press no thanks.
7- go to magisk settings, scroll down to patched image output format, select img.tar
8- go back to main menu, select install, then select boot.img file, then select the img you placed on your device.
After it finish patching, go to download mode and flash the patched img through Odin.
This worked for me

4- Firstly, downloaded .zip file has many files (AP, CP, BL, HOME_CSC). Which file contains 'boot.img.lz4' file and how to extraxt from .md5 file?
5- How to get boot.img from boot.img.lz4 file? Will renaming the file work?
6- Does magisk work on a no-rooted device?
1.Extract the zip, then open ap as zip, copy boot.img.lz4 to desktop
2.download 7 zip standard, it can extract the lz4 archives.
3. After your extract the image, place it on your device
4. Download magisk manager and launch it
5. When You launch magisk, it will ask if you want to install, press no.
6. go to settings in magisk, scroll down to patch boot.img format, select img.tar
7. Go back to magisk, uncheck preserver force encryption, select install, then choose patch boot.img
8. Magisk will ask to locate your boot img, choose the img you placed on your device.
9. After magisk finish patching, the new img will be placed in downloads folder.
10. Move it to your pc, launch odin and choose ap and choose the patchedboot.img .
11. Go to download mode and flash the img
12. Device will reboot and ask to reset to factory settings. Reset it and after it finish booting, you'll see magisk installed
Some notes :
1.Do full backup bcz you'll have to reset to factory settings your device after rooting
2. Unlock OEM in developer options
3. Magisk doesn't need root, it will root your device.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
I did not try this method. But, i'm gonna do it soon, because i did it from AndroDef's thread.
He already uploaded for ARJ3, but i had ARIM. But, i'm switching back to ARIM and will surely try this method and will share my experience.
There isn't any custom recovery released for this device yet,but i already submitted a request in TwrpBuilder project a month ago, hope they'll do it soon, you can check it here, it's at the buttom (47,it's the 3rd oldest request)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/#tab=inQueue
Also you can check the completed builds to see if the twrp building for the device is finished.

Well if you need custom recovery for xposed, there's xposed module in magisk that can be installed without twrp. I'm already using it and have multiple modules (gravitybox, xprivacy and greenify), all running without problems. For debloating, after your root the device, go to google play and download an app called system app remover, it'll show you all apps on your j6+. Select the apps you want to remove and press uninstall. After uninstallation is done, reboot your device

Sure, but never worked with samsungs. It's my first regular samsung device. Never liked exynos and cortex combo, but it's different.
Last time tried to push recovery.img via adb and it did not work. I have root and root explorer app installed. Where is that log located in system partition. I'm not an skilled linux coder guy but i have serious history with androids and palms.

Unlocking Bootloader/ Magisk Attempt

MAGISK FULL GUIDE (APK for install and other mods coming soon!)
The bootloader unlock is pretty similar to any other phone.
Go to settings>about> click on build number until developer options are enabled. Go back and select system>Developer Options. Make sure to enable OEM unlocking.
(On PC) "adb reboot bootloader", "fastboot flashing unlock_critical", use volume to select unlock. THIS WILL ERASE ALL CONTENT ON YOUR DEVICE.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO DO THIS FROM SCRATCH, SKIP TO PART 2
Go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surfacerecoveryimage
Select Surface Duo from the drop down
Enter your serial number and download the file
Extract the firmware .zip
Extract the Payload file
Moved bootloader to root
Installed Magisk Manager apk and patched bootloader image
Attempted to flash which resulted in "cannot write to partition_b"
PART 2:
download the patched magisk_boot.img from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-7NWj8_jFH8AtpTTpXITOv1eh-wo7xlz/view?usp=sharing
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
PART 3 - All right, lets make it permanent!
Place magisk_patched.img on your sd root
adb shell
su
cd /dev/block/by-name/
chmod 777 boot_a
chmod 777 boot_b
DEV=$(ls /dev/block/by-name/boot_b); echo $DEV
dd of=$DEV if=/sdcard/magisk_patched.img
DEV=$(ls /dev/block/by-name/boot_a); echo $DEV
dd of=$DEV if=/sdcard/magisk_patched.img
Reboot and we are good!
I am working on an app to streamline the process as well as provide additional mods and addons to the device. I hope to have something for you guys by the end of the week.
I do plan on streaming some of this stuff (twitch.tv/goingh0st), and am working on a section of my discord for the same thing (World of Gh0st)
https://www.patreon.com/GoinGh0st
Thank you for your support and I cant wait to get more stuff to you guys!
Would you mind sharing the patched Boot?
Everything you posted is spot on, try switching partitions.

I tried the same and I had the same issue. Seems the the boot partitions, both a and b, are not writable or erasable even with the bootloader unlocked.
I even went as far as unlocking critical and still the same issue.

How did it go?
Just tried with a to c cable with same result unfortunately. Sending successfully, writing boot_b gives flashing not allowed to this partition. Also did a critical unlock and verified with fastboot oem device-info
wtf!!!!!!!!

...... I will return this phone man.
I'm not sure with anything about unlocking and rooting (noob atm) but i noticed in developer settings that the default USB configuration is set to "No data transfer"
Is that by any chance causing the write issues?
