[Q] Can't get TWRP loaded on 310 - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need some help. I've been scouring the message boards and threads trying to get TWRP installed on to my T310. I've got odin up and running and have tried multiple times to flash TWRP to the device. Everything says it completed successfully but when I try to boot into recovery I just see the standard android recovery. My device is on 4.4.2 with a kernel version of 3.0.31-1984358. With no error messages to guide me I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure this out.

Have you tried unchecking auto-reboot ? I've heard there is some kind of fail safe and the tablet auto restores the stock recovery. If you uncheck auto-reboot and then reboot manually it should work.

Ok two more dumb questions.
1) Do you mean the "auto-reboot" option in odin?
2) When I manually reboot how am I doing it? Regular reboot, power/vol down/home or into recovery?

Yea, I meant the auto reboot from odin, after you flash it just hold the power button until it reboots.

Having same issue with SGH-T889. Any help? Heard of similar issue with Nexus 4. They have revert recovery disabler. Not tried on my Note 2. Is similar solution available for T889?
After flashing recovery in Odin are you booting up the phone (or is odin - i.e. auto reboot is checked)? There is a file (/system/etc/install-recovery.sh) that you need to disable to have recovery "stick". There are a few ways to do this, but my preference has been to do it within cwm/twrp recovery via adb after flashing in odin but prior to first bootup of phone.
Hope that helps!
Ive had luck un-checking auto-reboot in odin, flashing recovery, wait for it to say pass, unplug USB, pull battery, and boot straight into recovery by holding home + vol up when powering on.
This can be dangerous so make sure odin is completely done before unplugging.

I have the same problem :/ i tried going back to odin and unchecking auto root as suggested, but whenever i clicked start it just stayed stuck at "Setup Connection" or whatever... i'm trying to install a custom rom and i just cant access CMW! I have the AT&T model by the way.

I know you can't access CWM Recovery..
Allot of us use TWRP Recovery and it works great. I think it is safe to say it is a Superior Recovery now. I suggest you use that Recovery.
You can get it installed easily by downloading GooManager from the play store, opening the app, hit your menu button and tap Install Open Recovery Script. That's it. Quick and easy!
For the people having a hard time, are you rooted? If you are just download goomanager and use it to install twrp

Finally got fixed
I tried by un ticking the "Reboot" in Odni and manually pulled out battery and cable and tried Recovery mode... it went smoothly as expected... thanks dude
This works when everything else fails!

Stock recovery overwriting CWM

Hi guys,
I've tried to root my device using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2
I used method 2 because I wanted CWM.
I found that when Odin reboots the phone it goes straight into Android itself, not the recovery CWM. I disabled the autoreboot and flashed again and manually rebooted but still my stock recovery persists, not CWM.
What can I do to get CWM?
Thanks in advance!
It should work.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
It will have CWM flashed. Maybe you should just tick the auto reboot option then when the OS loads up shut down your note and boot to Recovery.

when I boot into recovery it's the stock one, but it shows the status as custom. And the count increases with each time I run it through the ODIN process.
Any advice guys?
Maybe your flashable odin cwm file does not properly work. Something is wrong, Try to reset your flash counter with Triangle Away. Then proceed with installation.

Thanks for the help thus far! Just a question, does the flash counter value matter? Or can we continue flashing on top without harm?

It matters for me, I have an S3 mini and when my counter goes up, I can't use my back and menu buttons. In some cases you can just continue flashing.

Have you tried any other recoveries like twrp or the regular cwm?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I found out the solution. After flashing done in Odin, just force into recovery mode without letting it boot to android, then we will see the CWM recovery, select reboot phone now then select Yes to disable from stock recovery on next boot.
Hope this help other user too.

Maybe this will help...
1. Download PhilzTouchRecovery 6.26
2. Put device into Download Mode
3. Run Odin
4. Connect device
5. Load PhilzTouchRecovery.tar.md5 to PDA Tab/Button
6. Uncheck Auto Reboot from Odin
7. Click start. Once Pass! Disconnect device.
8. Hold Power Button, DON'T RELEASE till you boot into your new recovery.
9. Once booted to PhilzRecovery, select reboot system now, select yes. to make sure not to overwrite with stock recovery or else you're PhilzRecovery will be reverted back to your stock recovery and you have to flash again your PhilzRecovery.
10. Once successfully flashed PhilzRecovery. Make all necessary backups.
11. Once fully backed up. Copy backup files to your PC.

No. Once you're in PhilzTouchReco you have to select reboot now. Then a question will appear, select yes. And try to boot in recovery again. You should be in PhilzTouchReco...

Stuck on Samsung logo and no recovery

Hi,
My friend's note 2 got stuck on Samsung logo boot screen and whenever I access the recovery, it loads that android robot logo for a second and then restarts. I still have access to download mode, I have tried flashing a stock 4.3 rom, CWM and Philz recoveries with Odin but still same problem exists. I flashing using PDA button, should I try the bootloader or something?
The phone was on stock rom but she doesn't know the exact version and I assume it was on a 4.1.x rom.
Any help?
Thanks

Here is what you do,go into ODIN mode and get the .tar.md5 of philz touch 6.19 or twrp 2.6.3.2 flash it via odin and uncheck "auto reboot" that you see on the left side of the ODIN app,let the recovery be flashed in ODIN and once you see in GREEN saying RECOVERY PASS exit odin and using the vol down +home + power button keep it pressed until you samsung note screen let go of all buttons as soon as you see it and you're recovery will load within 5-10 seconds (twrp loads faster than philz) if you keep the buttons even after seeing the samsung note 2 message then it won't go into recovery,btw your friend's phone has she upgraded to official 4.3? or still on 4.1.2?

I tried twrp now with unchecking "auto reboot" and still same problem, I think you meant volume up not down as down will get me into download mode again.
It loads till the android robot recovery logo with the moving hollow cube , it keeps moving for a second or something "loading" and then phone restarts by itself and gets stuck on samsung boot logo again.
She doesn't know which android version she was on, she in not that much into phones so probably with factory rom "4.1.2".
After all these successful flashes, Odin still says:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System binary: Official

you might want to follow this guide and try to re root her phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 i followed that thread to root my note II ,but do remember that guide is only for users who are official 4.1.2 or 4.3 ,if your friend was on 4.1.1 you would need to download the official firmware from your country 4.1.2 that is and then follow the rooting guide,hope it works out for you,do let me know the end result
Just one and simple Question: Can you access "Download Mode" ?

Try Wipe data and cache
I had this problem too after i clicked on factory reset in my rooted 4.3 n7100. Found the solution from a thread but i forgot where it was.
What I did was boot into recovery and perform "wipe data and cache". After wiping data, my note 2 are able to boot again...
NOTE: you will lose your data saved in your phone once you wiped it...

Try use odin to re flash the twrp recovery 2.7.0.0-to3g version. It fixed my loop boot with out loosing all data
Hope this work for you too
If there's a bootloop, you may have to reflash the firmware. Hopefully you have the file on the external SD.
Try to reinstall twrp or PhilZ, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and reflash the Rom anew.
Also check before whether you have the correct bootloader for the Rom you want to install! (e.g. MJ5 or else).
Greets and good luck!

Try mskips toolkit from skipsoft.net. There is a thread on here for it but it's closed because of Microsoft signatures. It has a recovery package. You may lose your data but it will fix the phone.

U said u flashed 4.3 in her phone isnt....
Just give it a try these steps..(warraty may void)..
1.Flash stock 4.3 rom once again into phone.. After reeboting remove battery.. Then put it back.. go into download mode
2.flash CF-Autoroot with odin (dont forgot to chek reeboot on odin). .
after reboot cf-autoroot autimatically starts its rooting process...(if it starts u won half the way)
If u have luck it will reboot into system..(wait for 5 mins in boot screen)
3.If it doesnt... try flash philz touch using odin into phone..
In most cases philz touch flashed after cf autroot fites the custom recovery... .
sometimes knox enabled bootloader wont fire custom recoveries instead it fires stock recoveries

DOF8 to COF6 - bricked

Hi guys,
I was trying to downgrade to COF6 from the leaked DOF8 so I could install the new COF8 update via OTA. My phone was rooted running UniKernel.
I used ODIN to install the entire COF6 firmware - and did a factory reset. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. It get Tmobile boot screen for a few seconds, then restarts. I've tried to re-flash a few times, and it didn't work. In recovery, it says "dm-verity verification failed".
I'm not sure what else to do at this point - there aren't a lot of options. Any thoughts?
Thank you so much.
@flying_pigs, just do a factory reset from recovery. To boot into recovery hold power+home+volume up when device reboots again. Device should boot alright after factory reset.

Ok, somehow I fixed it.
I was able to load up TWRP, so did a full reset there. Then I re-odin'd the file again, this time using the AP button instead of the CP button. Restarted....and now I'm back up.
