[Q] SM-T210L CWM? TWRP? Working one...

I have a Korean version of Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210L and lots of korean language bothers me very much....
May I flash it with firmwares for SM-T210 but avoiding bricking it?
Or maybe there are working CWM or TWRP for this device at least?

I have the same Korean SM-T210L version and tried the firmware available for SM-T210. It didn't work, it hangs upon booting, showing the Samsung brand. I'm still looking for a solution.

You guys have 4.2.2 correct? Do you mind providing a system dump for us?

I second that. We could really use a working 4.2 build!

#3 and #4: Since my SM-T210L is no longer working (after installing the SM-T210 firmware), I guess it would be of little use if I upload a system dump from my device. Please advice, I am lacking of experience.

Tried to ask samsung support here in germany today for a factory image, but they dont have any... They redirected me to a company, that repairs these devices for them, so I ll contact them tomorrow.

hmmm. another dirty trick by samsung. They fail to provide stock firmware to lots of devices. If the other guy responds I could help get the tab up and running. If it's partitions as I imagine stock would just be system and boot . My Galaxy Exhibit t599 was the same way without factory images

Doesn't KIES provide an "emergency" restore? If not all the more reason for you to try and get a system dump . Maybe you know someone who has a working tab? (Korean tab models aren't very common here in Berlin... )

No, unfortunately KIES is not capable of updating the firmware. It seems the SM-T210L model is not supported, too bad. Thank you anyway for the suggestion!

New Tab update
Hi all,
My kid was given a korean SM-T210L version Galaxy Tab 3, the android version installed on the tab is 4.1.2; unfortunately it does not allow me to upgrade any further. is there a root version that will allow me to update the operating software.
I have never rooted a phone or a tab before therefore will really appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
Zach

To restore original version 4.1.2, I used below link.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zwvavvfWEMvzSMMc970N_uIsgrdn1bag
I tried twice with Odin 3.09, my tab was restore. For first fail, I don't know why to fail. But in second try I was working.
I wish that it will be helpful for you.
Also I am looking for upgrade version 4.2.

Solved - Rooted SM-T210L
(sorry to new to the forum to post actual links - reply if you need them)
I was able to root my SM-T210L using the same method that everyone else is posting, Odin (version 3.12.3 in my case) and using this compressed file T210.TWRP.2.8.0.0.tar.md5 You also have to copy SuperSU to your tablet (either on a SD Card or through a USB cable onto the device memory directly) search for SuperSU
Here are the instructions (most complete in my view) that seemed to be able to work for me. Go to droidviews site and search on the model to find the instructions.
Even though the image file does not have the model SM-T210L specifically, I did not have any problems with it and was able to root it successfully. I then was able to delete all of the bloatware that came with the tablet, especially all of the Korean based applications that I can't use.

Is there anyone who still have the SM-T210L firmware? Please give links for download.

Noob here... are you saying that XAC (for Canada) is also the US version? I'm also looking for the US version and don't see USA or anything like that?

I'm also looking for the US version. That list is horribly designed.

I'm fairly new to samsung tablets and was looking for the english firmware too.
I installed kies and it showed mine as XAR which is cellular south.
Mine ends ends with ANE9, there is one that ends with 7 too.
I've not tried it but I do recall reading somewhere that the US version falls under cellular south. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can confirm.
Hope it helps.

Dude, Thanks for this!
Just waited 1.5 hours for sammobile download to finish, and then I found this.
Just one question... is there any changelog available for the updated firmwares?
Kinda want to know what the differences are between my current FW and the updated one.

Problem is, samsung never release any changelog, they just give numbers. Changelist called. Higher means later version and more changes, but what changes... that just knows samsung

All I know is that, the new update is always better than stock. It could be faster/optimised or it can be a surprise! The nov update seems to get better performance is what i know

Its Canadian and I flashed the Cellular South version. Are tablets locked too? There are only 3 versions of the new firmware available, Russia, Cellular South and Italy.
UPDATE: I am downloading the russian version. I will try to flash that and see if it works cuz right now I have soft-bricked my tablet

Yeah some tablets have some sort of country lock. Someone in my thread had this problem. So here later flashed a different one and it worked. Try asking the guy to get an Canadian version

It depends the way Samsung signed it I guess. Some works, some dont. Atleast it worked for you!

I had the same problem with the cellular southern firmware numerous times then tried again after factory resetting first ,loading the firmware, followed by restore with titanium backup, with success. Feels much better with this firmware by the way☺

With this firmware here?

Yes in caution I re download the firmware here and attempted both dirty and post wiping flashes, post wiping flash worked for me. The failure occurred at the loading of the hidden section

So I flashed the T700 firmware, coming from CWM and a CM12 ROM from this board, and now my tablet is completely stuck. It got past the first part of booting, but it's stuck at the final Samsung logo. Won't respond to any sort of button combination to restart it, even when I plug it in. Is there a way to restart it, or am I screwed?

Am looking for the Swiss t-700 firmware ANL1. It's showing on sammobile, but unable to download. This seems to be the latest version.
Update : using this now.

I have noticed a few Firmware variants for the SM-T800 which specifically states in the title they are for the 16gb version. Is there any reason that they shouldn't work on a 32gb model? I need to get rid of the bloat and speed up this nice piece of hardware.

This?

This is probably a dumb question, but is this firmware compatible with International G955F devices? ( the firmware is China's and I didn't know if it was compatible with other International Varients?)
Thanks for the help -

thank you for the answer - as for why I asked the question? I didn't know (or I forgot) that the Chinese Variant was a Snap Dragon - thank you for the kind and supportive response. You are a role model for how people should treat others who may not have as much knowledge as they do. I wish everyone was as supportive and kind as you are. :cyclops:

That's right, if you don't know something, you ask, otherwise how would you learn?

This is probably a dumb question, but is this firmware compatible with the Hong Kong devices? ( the firmware is China's and I didn't know if it was compatible with Hong Kong variants)
Thanks for the help -

I just got my hand on G9550 this morning. So I'm totally new here. My device is still on Android 7.0. Tried to update, but it says "The latest updates have already been installed". Can I update manually by flashing the new official Android version via odin? If I do so, will it trip my knox? Thanks

The only dumb question is the one not asked.....

Lots of thing I don't really understand with the firmware. Bought used phone, turned out it comes with mixed firmware, TGY/hongkong CSC & AP, but VZW/US BL & CP.
After checking on Sammobile, my current firmware is quite outdated. But when I checked for the update through the settings menu manually, it said that this firmware is the latest. I guess the software update server getting confused since my phone has 2 different regions of firmware.
I'm afraid the previous owner intentionally flash VZW so the phone would work here in my country (not living in China). Can someone please explain it to me, like what might get affected if I change the bootloader & modem, the compatibility, etc? Is there any kind of 'irreversible' firmware? I mean like once the new version is flashed, it can't go back to the older one?

At Dial Screen, Press *#1234# and u will see the AP,CP and CSC version. Check the 3 letter stand AFTER your phone code ( ex : G9550***) the 3 *** stand for the country code of your phone !

I'm really interested in the answer to this question also. Can anyone please post an answer.
Can you please link the T835n update that you used. I'm still trying to figure out how to buy the right tablet off ebay that is unlocked.
Also did pie break anything on the tablet? I read something about a couple of programs didn't work anymore but can't find the thread now.
I want the LTE even though I have Verizon now I might switch to t-mobile if this works since my DW's iPad needs replacement soon. Because screw Verizon.

This thread has been dead a long time, but maybe this info will be useful for someone anyway ...
My Tab S4 SM-T830 died. Don't like the keyboard form factor on the Tab S6/S7 (very hard to use on a plane and I travel a lot) ...
So, bought an SM-T835N (new from S. Korea) that arrived today. Decided to risk flashing the UK version of the SM-T835 ROM (from Sammolbile) onto it, in theory, I could always reflash the original ROM if things didn't work out.
All good! The SM-T835N now reports as an SM-T835. Put in a Vodafone SIM and that works ... so, happy-chappy me!
Now have LTE/4G and 6GB of RAM
