Download your stockversion from sammobile. and flash it with Odin.
Download CWM and the root.zip flash it with odin,so your tab are rooted.
Make an nandroid backup with the recovery.
so is sure that you can go back when you have probs.

Thank you for your quick reply. I will try this asap. I allready flashed cwm before, but i can't see the zip files I copy too root. That's why I switched to TWRP. Any ideas how to see the .zip files in cwm?

I'm not sure ,you have got the lte tab.
here are the link to the CWM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432467&page=13
Important uncheck autoreboot by odin. After flash boot with the button combo into recovery snd flash the root.zip
Than make an backup of your rom.

No. My recovery is CWM now. But it says it can't mount sdcard.
I will later try using sideload and adb. Having a look into this now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

Also comes this error,when your format of the ext.sdcard than other than fat32 and the size is more than 32gb
Format a sdcard to fat32 with size less 32gb, i found some post at CWM thread.

I have no external sdcard inserted in the tab. I hoped i would be able to flash the files i copied on the tab.

I kinda have the same problem, Im going to follow this thread...

I may be late for dinner but here is how I flash roms on my 5210. If the rom is the OEM Stock Rom, I flash it from ODIN. This HAS to be done this way. There is no other way to flash OEM Stock Rom.
If I am going to flash something like Grievous or Pimpdroid or BinDroid, I will load the rom on to my internal memory Download folder. Then from TWRP I select install and it goes straight to the download folder. However, before I install any of these roms I will wipe the cache and dalvik cache. Is this wise? I don't know, I just do it because most of what I have read has indicated it should be done.
So if you are still having issues, reload from fresh the OEM Stock Rom for you device. Then reload your favorite Recovery (CWM or TWRP). Set up your device for the minimal way you want to use it. Now, from either CWM or TWRP (or whatever backup app you have) backup your device and save it to your PC. This way you can always go back to standard/stock.
From here you would load the Root.zip AND the rom you want to load on the internal download folder (note - if the rom is already rooted there is no need to load root.zip). Now go into recovery and install the root. Restart then shutdown. Note - you may have to update the SuperSU or Superuser app. Go back into recovery and install the rom.
This is how I have done it and it has worked for me. I am sure I have loaded and reloaded several times different roms. However, I always come back to the Stock ROM via backup restore. I haven't found a rom worth using.
This is how I do it. Your device may not react in the same way mine does. So I advise you on the side of caution that you could damage your device if you follow what I do. Not saying what I do is wrong, but it is how I go about loading and unloading different roms. The key for me is I use the backup/restore from TWRP. I find it to be very fast.
Good luck!
ps... if you have already done this and it did not work, my apologies for coming to party too late.

Thank you for your help. I allready tried this procedure. It all works well, the problem starts with the custom roms i try to install, They install fine but when they boot up I get various forceclose messages. Unusable.
I suspect the isue is with the roms. I have not yet found a working rom for GT-P5220.
Has anyone found some working rom for this specific device?

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'll try this at once!!
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.

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?

[Q] Custom ROM Installation Help

I have the Galaxy S III SGH-i747m model on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROM on the Canadian Rogers network. (I live in BC)
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to install a custom ROM. I have rooted and installed Super User, and have flashed the TWRP Recovery ROM v2.4.1.0 I still have the stock kernel and haven't mucked around in the permissions besides installing SuperUser SU app from Google Play store. Right now, I have managed to wipe out my entire internal storage. I have everything backed up on the google server, so I'm not too worried, but I have no OS right now. Regardless, I have tried many times with many different custom ROMs, and everytime I get a Status 7 error and a failed ROM flash. I have been trying for weeks to find out what I'm doing wrong, but can't seem to find anything that works. Can anyone please help me out with a step by step guide to install a custom rom? Heck, even to re-install my stock ROM would be better than nothing at this point. The last guide I tried to follow was Cyanogenmod 10.1. The file was called Liquid Smooth.
I currently have the ROM file and the gapps pakage on my external SD card, but, everytime I try to install it I get that Status 7 error.
Thanks in advance.

make sure you have the correct ROM and gapps (compatible with your model). then i would try a different recovery.
you could download this flashable clockworkmod recovery zip and place it on your external sd card: http://d-h.st/8qP
it's not a touch version. you'll have to use the vol up and vol down buttons to navigate and the power button the select.
in twrp, mount external sd and then flash the CWM recovery like you would a rom. reboot into recovery.
make sure the external sd is still mounted and flash ROM & gapps twice. reboot

he has the rom and gapps on the external already.
if you can get into download mode, i'd try restoring via odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625&highlight=stock+firmware
1. Extract contents of the zip/rar archives
2. Wipe data-factory reset/cache/dalvik-cache
3. Plug phone into PC
4. Place the phone in Download Mode (vol dwn + home + power). Press volume up when prompted
5. Open Odin and ensure the COM box is highlighted, detecting your device
6. Uncheck the Auto Reboot option
7. In the PDA box, select the .tar.md5 file you downloaded
8. Flash the file by hitting Start
9. Once you get a Success message, pull the battery and then replace. Immediately go into recovery (vol up + home + power. release power button at Galaxy S3 logo and/or vibrate).
10. Select Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache. Reboot
you can then do some research and decide what files/procedures you want to try if you wish to root again and flash custom firmware
Thanks for the help guys. I am attempting to restore my phone right now. Will let you know how it went.
OK! Up and running! And I have it rooted with the latest TWRP recovery image installed. Now I just need to find a good custom ROM. Thanks againg guys!

[Q] Bricked?

Hi
After rooting, I managed to wipe dalvik cache and internal. I'm trying to install stock rom from TWRP, but it always says that its unable to open .zip file. When connecting to USB the MTP USB driver fails (I've tried all the attempts with in getting in into download mode, but with no luck). I've got TWRP 2.3.2.3. Any ideas or ROM's which I can boot with here is my device bricked?

Try to install another rom or check the drivers at your computer(By uninstalling them at device manager), connect it to another pc and see if that works. Aslong as your phone can boot into download there shouldn't be anything to be worried about. You could also try to download philz recovery. Either by flashing it, if you manage to get download mode working, or trying that zip to be installed in TWRP.
http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16053#files
I don't like TWRP at all as it has brought me bad expiriences. I'd rather choose Philz recovery, which is just the stock way of installing them zips .
Hope you can get further by these instructions, Good luck. If you got any questions; instead of finding them out yourself, just ask :laugh:

Hmm, very strange. Are you installing from a sdcard? Maybe it is corrupted so it doesn't install. You could try placing the zip file into your internal storage and then try to install it from here.

Try to install another rom or check the drivers at your computer(By uninstalling them at device manager), connect it to another pc and see if that works. Aslong as your phone can boot into download there shouldn't be anything to be worried about. You could also try to download philz recovery. Either by flashing it, if you manage to get download mode working, or trying that zip to be installed in TWRP.

I don't like TWRP at all as it has brought me bad expiriences. I'd rather choose Philz recovery, which is just the stock way of installing them zips .
Hope you can get further by these instructions, Good luck. If you got any questions; instead of finding them out yourself, just ask :laugh:

I think you can only flash stock through odin on your computer.

Thanks for the reply! philz did get installed with TWRP and worked after next reboot. But I'm still getting the same message when I try "Install zip" and select the below roms. You know any rom which work for sure? It says Cant open <ROM-Filepath> (bad) on both. The zipfiles are openable through windows
N7100XXDMC3_N7100OXXDMC2_NEE (Stock N7100 for nordic countries)

It was actually my usb2microSD which was faulty. It was messing up all the files it was writing and the funny thing was that windows7 reported all file copies as success. Anyhow, its fixed once I got the .,zip files copied correctly. That was the only way too (through sd load) ODIN coul'd make a connection. Thx for all the help!

[Q] Can't boot after failed root attempt

SOLVED
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.
well, pm me the link so i can check the instructions you followed and maybe help you

so it hanged just after you run the script to root device, right? after you ran the script in the shell, did it return any error?

No, no error, it said "Daemon launched successfully" or something along those lines, my phone turned off and turned back on to the HTC boot screen.
Ok, try this: if the phone is still on keep the power button pressed till it restarts and press also vol down button until you arenin the bootloader; if the device is off, enter bootloader keeping power and vol down button pressed... Now my suggestion is to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom, you will get root privileges and the phone will work again...
Sent from Somewhere Over The Rainbow...
If you are unlocked (you see it in bootloader) you can flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. Look up for your favorite Recovery and flash it.
Download the img File to directory where you have the fastboot files and run this code in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After it you can boot into Bootloader and turn to recovery to get access to phone and SD Card/flash Rom
Did you flash boot.img and erased the cache?

Okay, so I successfully flashed TWRP and launched into recovery mode with it. How I get the custom ROM files on my SD card, when I plug my phone into my computer with USB it doesn't show up in the drives section, so I can't open up the SD card.
Another thing is that with the latest version of TWRP for my phone touch doesn't work in the recovery mode. There's a version that does, but it says it doesn't have USB mount or something like that. What's the next step?
You need to mount sd card via recovery, and having the touchscreen working is better as it will be easier to move inside aroma installer... Use philz recovery (if you want a sense rom use 5.15.9, if you want kitkat use the last version), enter the recovery, plug the phone into pc, mount sdcard via recovery, copy the zip over it and follow the instructions to install rom... You can find the instructions in every rom thread op... Ask if you need more help

Thanks for all the help, I am really starting to get a better understanding of how this actually works. I flashed Philz recovery and went into recovery with it. Then I went to mount and mounted USB Storage. Is this the right thing? It still doesn't show up on my PC

which version did you flash? sometimes it keeps a couple of minutes before popping up the sdcard in pc, but i ensure you that 5.15.9 usb mout feature works fine... some users (me too) faced some issues with some 6.x.y version (sorry, i don't remember which one as i still use sense rom and so philz 5.15.9)

I flashed latest version 6.19.3. There are only 3 versions available as far as I can see. They are:
6.19.3
6.12.8
6.07.9
I'll try flashing the two other versions and see what happens.

Thank you! It finally showed up on my PC after a minute. I wanted to try Android 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROM "Carbon" so I want to ask a bit of an off-topic question. What are the GApps thing that I am told to install with the ROM? Why are they so important, what do they do?

have you flashed boot.img via fastboot and erased cache via fastboot? the commands are
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
remember that first boot can take a while (in some cases up to ten minutes)

Did you do format data under advanced wipe, the one where you have to type yes? That one is pretty good for solving aosp to touchwiz problems.

If no one hops in with any better ideas here maybe look around the s3rx or tm ROM development threads here. You're not the first person to have this problem, but I thought they solved it by formatting internal sd and flashing a stock ROM first.
If you want something else to try, maybe flash philz touch for recovery wipe and flash with it.

There should be some discussion in that s3rx thread of people having the same problem, touchwiz won't boot after running aosp. Take a look through the more recent posts or do some searching there. Someone might have posted a fix. This problem isn't really uncommon.

Did you give philz touch recovery a try? There's a point of view here that it wipes a little better than twrp.

Internal sdcard might be at /data/media/0. I haven't used philz much myself. I think you can go into Mount -> USB storage to get it to mount as a USB device if you need to. It's not automatic like on twrp.
After full wipes and format of data, flash the NJ1 bootloader/modem and then the ROM. I had to do that on mine and it worked

The boot loader and modem thing is a great point. I should have asked you that to begin with, but unless you are absolutely certain you were on ne4 or nj1 boot loader before, do not just find the nj1 boot loader and modem on the forum and flash it or you could hard brick.
Safest way to proceed would be to load aroma file manager on your external sd card. Flash it in recovery then open up a terminal from it. In the terminal enter
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
That will output your boot loader.

Great. Glad it's working for you.
So it wouldn't boot after wiping with twrp and had to be wiped with philz. Did you get it to flash with philz or did you have to go back to twrp to flash it? Just want to be sure I understand. :highfive:
