New to the Tab 3 but have been rooting phones for some time now. Most recent is my S4.
Is there a recovery that works for the Sprint Tab 3 (SM-T217-S) running 4.4.2 NK1. Trying to root this thing and not having any luck rooting or finding a recovery that will load.

Figured it out. Had to use Odin 3.07, wouldn't load the recovery using 3.09, then followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514821

so I rooted my galaxy note 2 from Sprint with Odin and it said that it was rooted but the superuser would never work so I did a factory reset to make sure that wasn't the problem and it just got stuck on boot loader on the Samsung icon and it never turns on I tried installing the stock firmware for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Odin and every time I got to S.boot it says fail my phone has been stuck like this for about a week now and I have not found anything to fix it I found a thread saying to install an alternate stock firmware without the s.boot file but it was only for Verizon phones I have not found one for the Sprint any help would be highly appreciated

What file were you using?
Without more info I would suggest using odin and flashing a recovery then flashing mc2 stock with counter reset. Dont remember exactly who made it at this moment but scan through development section and you will find it.

It's failing at sboot because you're trying to downgrade on a secured bootloader. You can't downgrade. You can only use the latest stock firmware.
This is the stock 4.3 image for use in Odin http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
To get into download mode use vol down, home, power. You'll need Odin 3.07 or 3.09. Put this in the PDA or AP tab. DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN ODIN.

I know exactly what you need to do, go download this and flash with odin, then flash a custom recovery and flash MC back to stock unrooted

I have tried to root my Note 8 (us version) with CF-Auto-Root. My device has never been rooted before and still had the stock 4.1.2 firmware.
I followed the directions exactly listed here from chainfire.
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291839
The flashing with odin went perfectly but when my device rebooted it was stuck on the Samsung splash screen. I could not get into recovery mode at all. Pressing the 3 button combination just made the screen turn black and then to the splash screen again. I tried flashing several times and also tried removing the battery as stated by chainfire. I was able to get into download mode and flash a stock 4.1.2 rom and I was back in business again. I would like to know what might be causing my device to not go into recovery mode and being stuck on the splash screen after flashing with CF-Auto-Root. My firmware version was N5110UEDMD1. I would still like to root my device but how to do it now?
Do I just use a rooted rom and flash it with odin? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Isn't the CF-Auto-Root only for those on the 4.2.2 update? (I don't know for sure, my tab shipped with 4.2.2, I just thought I remembered reading it)

No, it works with 4.1.2
I have CF-Auto-Root working now on my device. I was all my fault as I used the wrong file to flash. I used P5110 instead of using N5110. Every thing is good now and my device is working just fine.
Thanks
I have T-Mobile SM-N900T with N900TUVUCNB4 Latest firmware 4.4.2 it came with the phone.
I have tried to install and root this phone many times. And every time it goes into recovery it boot loops. No matter what I have tried. I have tried CF-Root for the Kitkat, I have installed Recovery from TWRP 2.7, via Odin. Every time I says it updates but just goes to recovery and loops. I know that it has already tripped the Knox Warranty it now says 0x1.
Maybe if there is a Rooted 4.4.2 rom that can be put on via odin that might work. I have not found one. Or if anyone can give me directions on how to install any of the roms for this phone via odin it would be helpful as well.
I would like to root due to I need to remove allot of the bloatware on the phone its really full of apps that I will never use.

I am for sure that you did not use cf autoroot for the euro phone. I am willing to bet that you might also be trying the wrong recovery. Only 2 exist for the 4.4.2 boot loader.

I was having the exact same problem you are having right now, and BACARDICIMON helped me out of it. I downloaded the original 4.2.2 firmware from sammobile.com and then used odin 3.9 and flashed that. It started working perfectly afterwards.
I'm kinda stumped. I've been doing this stuff for awhile: vibrant, s2, s4, note 4,.... but for the life of me, I can get the sm-p600 rooted with a custom recovery. I tried to root awhile back and tripped knox so i couldn't get any ota updates. Currently running 4.4.2 on ND4. Tried a bunch of different methods to root. nothing. Tried to odin twrp and it won't boot up. Tried to odin root... nothing.
What am i missing?

Use Odin and use CF-AutoRoot then use Flashify to flash TWRP.
LiquidSmooth maintainer for d2usc/vzw & p600
I've done that. Finally got to custom recovery, but my root never sticks.
got it
that was a pain in the butt. I updated firmware to COB1, then flash root. FINALLY got it. The latest twrp and got a "downloading" boot loop, wouldn't boot into system. flashed twrp via odin and it took and got me out of the bootloop. Finally rooted with custom recovery,... I think the problem had to be ND2 firmware.
Yeah. I updated before rooting.

Hi
Recently I installed nougat 7.1 on my note 2 7100. Phone is working smoothly but I lost my root and cwm recovery . I tried to enabled root from developer option but failed. Any can help to get it back
Not sure but flashing Nougat with CWM may have caused the problem. I suggest using twrp to re-flash the ROM.
Thank you for you reply.
I have odin3 v3.10.7 which I used for galaxy ace 3. My question is the same Odin can I use it for my note 2 also.
If so where can I get a suitable version of Twrp for Odin.
Please answer.
OK I have solved my problem by re rooted the phone.
