[Q] Rooting GT3-10, not rooting though - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

New here, so forgive me if this is the wrong thread, or subject.
I have a galaxy tab 3 10.1 inch. I'm using ODIN 3.07 with the CF auto root .tar file. I can load it fine, odin even gets to 'pass'. However, when it auto reboots, or even if i manual reboot, it just sits on the 'samsung galaxy tab3" splash screen. Have i ruined my tablet or what?
Thanks.

Just flash original firmware with odin.

[Q] What am I doing wrong here?!?

This is driving me absolutely bonkers. I know how to use Odin, I've used it many times before with the Samsung Galaxy S one, 2, 3, and 4. I have this Sprint L710 S 3 here that I've got in download mode. I am using Odin 3.07 and trying both the MK3 and MD4 stock ROMs and neither of them want to load! Odin keeps getting stuck at "Initializing" or "SetupConnection" or it keeps telling me it has failed. I've restarted the phone into download mode, taken the battery out and back in, etc, etc. but these stock ROMs will NOT load. What else can I do to force these to load???

what rom is your S3 currently on? if its on ND8 or NDC don't flash MK3 or MD4 cause you'll brick the phone and my Odin 3.09 does the same depending on how big the .tar file is.....but it never stays stuck for long

[Q] TabPro10.1 (ANK1), Odin has never worked

Is my Galaxy TabPro10.1wifi completely locked, or am I doing something wrong?
I can't install any custom recovery and I can't root the device:
(I put cyanogenmod on my Nexus 7 2013, and that was a breeze, but this
is making me pull my hair out)
I just bought a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 SM-T520 from BestBuy last week.
It is wifi only (not a phone)
Android: 4.4.2
Kernel: 3.4.39-3336840
Build: KOT49H.T520UEUANK1
In everything that I have tried, Odin starts "initialization"
and just gets stuck there forever. On the tablet, I never see a bar
indicating any download starting, or progress meter.
I have tried looking through lots of threads and Google searches, but
I can't figure out how to get either a custom recovery or root.
It boots into and runs its stock (Samsung) Android OS fine.
I have turned on developer mode, and permitted USB debugging.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
I have turned off MS Security Essentials and User Account Control.
Each time I run as administrator for Odin, or Heimdall, as well, for good measure.
I start up "download mode", and the TabPro says "Downloading..."
I connect the USB cable and Odin recognizes the device.
I tried to install TWRP using Odin with all the combinations:
I tried Odin 3.04, 3.07, 3.09, 3.10, 3.10.6
I tried TWRP 2.7.0, 2.8.0, 2.8.1.2, 2.8.6
I tried to root it with chainfire CF-Auto-Root with Odin 3.07 and 3.09
(download.chainfire.eu/392/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.zip)
Towelroot does not support this device.
I tried Heimdall for clockworkmod recovery and that didn't work either.
Thanks in advance - I would really appreciate any help.

Yes, I first tried the Samsung drivers and then even installed Kies v3.
When I tried Heimdall, I loaded the WinUSB from zadig, but when I went back to Odin, I re-installed the Samsung drivers, and rebooted.
No luck with Samsung, Kies, or Hiemdall/zadig

ok so I think this s just that most of the stuff you are trying to flash in ODIN has not been updated to work with the NK1 build. I ran into this a bunch when i first got my 12.2 tab pro last week. It turned out the file i was trying to flash was just no longer compatible with the build I was using. One file actually softbricked the device. What are you trying to run? Do you have the tab rooted? If it is the 12.2 I can walk you through what i had do to to get it work work.

How to ROOT GT-P220

Hello!
Could you help me with rooting this device, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (GT-P220).
I've searched through the site and cannot find any information. I tried using odin with others files, but after reboot, i'm getting original boot once again. (trying twrp)
I've solved my problem. I used TWRP reflashed it (after 5 attempt, HINT was don't tick auto reboot in odin or you will get the same old recovery) . However it's tooks me so more time to find correct version. I also tried root through PC or insde tale with programs like KingoRoot and so on, it's useless, will flash from twrp. However there are so less firmwares for galaxy S3.

[Q] Help: SM-p605V not booting up

Ok so I tried to downgrade my note 10.1 from 4.4.2 to 4.3 with odin and I have two problems that happened when trying to use Odin to flash 4.3:
1) This is the main problem I want to fix right now. I attached a picture of what my screen looks like right now, but basically it is unusable.
I attached a picture of what it looks like right now.
As I explain in #2, Odin is not working, and I have no idea how to make it work again. The reason this happened was because I tried to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 with Odin, and with one of my multiple tries, it seemed to work but instead rebooted and went to the screen on the picture.
2) I put the md5 file of the firmware into Odin, but Odin either gets the "(Not responding)" at the top, or gets the big red "Fail!" box if it continues.
I am downloading firmware from sammmobile.com, and Odin from android central. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help, I am desperate.

Tab SM-210 won't boot anymore, even after installing stock firmwares

Hi,
I recently got a SM-T210 from a friend to repair. The description given was that their kids factory reset the unit and won't boot anymore. First the tablet had the death sleep issue which is a easy fix. But after that the tablet simply continues to show the "Samsung GALAXY TAB3" boot screen and never finishes booting.
As I'm known with Odin I simply downloaded the original firmware from sammobile for this tablet and took the firmware version for the Netherlands as that's where I live. There are 2 4.4.2 versions available and downloaded them both. When using Odin 3.09 and higher I simply cannot install the firmware, but on Odin 3.07 it can. Although it installs the tablet still fails to boot properly and hangs at the tab logo as described earlier.
With Odin 3.09 or higher I'm not even able to install the firmware as it says that there is no PIT file and NAND flash write fails. I've found 2 PIT files for this tablet on the forums and even with the use of these PIT files it still errors with the same issue and installation seems impossible with these versions of Odin.
I've also tried installing TWRP recovery but that won't boot either. When booting the tablet with volume key up it shows the Andriod icon with the spinnng "intestines" and alot of red error messages show not able to find /system and /data. My guess is that this is pretty bad, but that is what I want to fix with the stock firmwares and/or the PIT files (LT02.pit and T210(R).pit).
I'm currently out of ideas to revive this tablet and almost start thinking that it's completely dead, but before throwing it in the garbage bin I'm wondering if anybody here is able to help me further with this issue.
If you think you miss critical information, let me know so I can supply it!
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanked for!

Nothing to loose so i should give it one more try with Kies. I remember that years ago i had a problem with a samsung phone and even Odin wasn't helping me. I did it with Kies then which fixed it. No garantuees though.

Thanks, I've tried it with Kies but it won't even recognize the tablet. When I put it in Download mode and connect it to my computer the Kies welcome screen keeps switching every 2 seconds to the connecting screen, back to the welcome screen and keeps on going like that.
Any ideas left?

Except for correct drivers etc etc not really, no.
I am facing same problem.
My Tab 3 (Sm-T210) has gone too.
Now I can't restore it.
I have downloaded Stock ROM from sammobile.org,
but I can't extract this properly.
It always says that "files are corrupted".
I am also going to be hopeless as like as you.
