[Q] Root Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5210 4.2.2 - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to get root only on my Tab, Is that possible or do I have to install one of the recovery programs also? Thanks

You will need to install a recovery. You might get off lucky finding one for Odin.

It wont let me root at all.Many thanks.
Just asthe warmingsays. You need to re-root your device using a computer bud

Dude, just installing supersu app from playstore wont give you root access. You have to install su binaries in your 'system' partition. You will definitely require a pc for that..
By the way supersu is just an app to manage root permissions, it wont give u root

Just flash super su with your prefered recovery (like cwm or twrp). Download the zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip flash it and you'll gain root.

Well, finally we have got KitKat and so I may ask, why you want to go back?
If you want to run 4.3 custom roms, no need to downgrade, go ahead and flash.

flash ofw with odin then flash cwm and restore backup. it worked for me
People are saying you can't flash back to 4.3 from 4.4.2, which is partially true.
Even when you flash the 4.3 firmware, you will still have 4.4.2 bootloader.
However, if you are not really fussed about the mini details, just flash it like you would normally with Odin,
then when there are problems with wifi, use custom kernels to fix it.
Otherwise, flash 4.3 then use a nand backup to restore (if you have it).

Just using odin 1.85 to flash back to 4.3 stock rom. Remember to wipe data/cache before flash
I hope this can help.

[Q] Initialize Samsung Galaxy S4 Via Kies 3

Hi Guys! I have a rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2. If i initialize it via kies 3, will there be no problem? Will I be able to root it again?
What do you mean initialize? Like perform a reset? Root has been achievable in every android version for this device so I think that answers your second question

Yes, I want to perform a reset. By the way, do you know how to flash back the stock recovery?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
You can flash it back with stock firmware.. If you want to reset I suggest you use Odin instead of kies.. Download 4.4.2 firmware from fenny and flash it with Odin.. Flashing the firmware will also flash stock recovery

I'm gonna try it, but my real problem is I can't access my recovery by holding the three buttons... Whatever the recovery I install... I can access it only via a rom manager... Do you know how to fix that?

why are you trying to boot to recovery? press and hold the power and volume down buttons and let go of both as soon as you see the blue 'recovery is booting' message

Rooting questions before I root...

I be using this guide to root my wifi model of the Note I be getting soon:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-2014-edition/
I just wanted to ask, is this the best and up to date method?.
Also do I have to disable knox?, all I want really is to have access to the SD card so I can delete and write stuff there.
Thank you

Thanks, but do I need to install TWRP Recovery and busybox?
All I need is to get access to write and erase on the sd card. So do I still need to install twrp and busybox?.
Anyone please?.
Not if you only want to root..I used towelroot then go to market and grab superSu

Rooted it, didn't install busybox or twrp since I'm not going to use roms.
Is that OK?.

Flash Philz recovery, boot into recovery and select (re)root in settings, reboot and install SuperSU from the playstore.
