successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 4 w/ Odin - when I was prompted to update SuperSU binary, i made the wrong choice to use TWRP/***? instead of Normal -
(had tried "Normal" previously and root failed, likely for some other reason...)
"Unfortunately, Music, SystemUI, etc, etc, etc has stopped" ad continuum... and I can't boot.
I'm sure there's a way out, I'm just not an android geek (web geek).
Can I get some help? VERY MUCH appreciated.

This is the Tab Pro section, not Tab 4. Wrong thread.

Okay, so I've had the Galaxy S3 for a while now. It was rooted and was running the original rom. I rooted it to be able to use wifi tether and other applications that weren't available from a non-rooted stock rom. All that said, I have been having issues recently and when I try to load and install the OTA upgrade, it fails to install correctly.
All of this said, I am looking to install the new stable Cyanogenmod 10.2.2 but after several hours, it isn't working.
I've attempted using Odin to root the phone, downloaded, copied and pasted the .zip into the phone along with the latest GAPPS, but the only one that installs is GAPPS, which doesn't really matter because my play store still doesn't work. I do get the "PASS" for the rooting, but without being able to use the play store, I'm pretty much stuck with a smart phone that can make phone calls and nothing else.
I originally attempted to use GOO Manager, but it kept failing and now my backup is no longer available.
Additionally, I have been getting the error "Unfortunately, Remote Control has stopped working" when I try to use the Google Pay Store.
I am looking for the "Root & Install Cyanogenmod 10.2.2 for Dummies" assistance here, as I'm not the biggest techie. I've rooted my phone in the past and had no issues, but this time, I'm at my whit's end and am on the verge of saying @#^% it and just getting the new S4 at a cost of about $200 that I wasn't and am hoping not to HAVE to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello everyone, please be patient with me as I am relatively new to modifying phones. However, I have spent a good portion of the past 1-2 weeks looking into this problem on XDA + google, and I am at the end of my rope.
Here is my problem (I'm sure you already know):
I have no current solution to installing a custom recovery on my phone. I really just want custom recovery to restore FULL backups via Nandroid or equivalent.
Here are my questions:
1) In download mode, Odin has no problem flashing an official image/firmware (tar.md5) to the phone. Is it possible to create my own image of my phone into one file and flash it via Odin to my phone when I would like to restore? I have a feeling that something in the phone checks the hash of the image (I'm sure that I'm not saying it right), and that, considering my image would be twice the size of the official, there would be no way to make my image pass using collisions or what not. However, this would probably be my first choice after safestrap (assuming that won't work), so let me know.
2) I have read that certain people with phones similar to mine (not my variant though) have successfully "swapped" the external and internal SD cards. If I remember correctly they just change a couple lines in void.fstab. If this could actually be done, I could easily restore a backup to the now external internal SD, then change the settings to reswap on reboot. I feel like this is too good to be true though, as I have not seen this as a solution to my specific problem online. Is this actually a suitable option?
3) Currently my phone model is not an officially recognized device which Safestrap will work on. However, I have read that it is possible to do on my model using the Safestrap version which corresponds to a close variant of my phone. Can this be done? Please let me know if you have any information on this.
4) I guess this would be the last resort. I'm pretty good at taking things apart, but even better I can put those things back together Is the internal "SD" really just an SD card deep inside the phone? Would it be possible to replace that card for the purpose of backing up?
Here are my phone specs:
-Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (SCH-I435)
-The carrier is Verizon Wireless
-Android Version 4.4.2 (kitkat)
-Baseband Version I435VRUBOC1
-Kernel Version 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 Fri May 23 2014
-Build Number KOT49H.I435VRUBOC1
-Hardware Version I435.05
-Configuration version B13.SAM.SCHI435.0
-Needless to say, phone is rooted and has busybox + etc correctly installed.
Any help will be greatly, GREATLY appreciated -- even if that help is telling me that it isn't possible. I can't seem to give up on this.
Thanks,
Kurt
Help
Does anyone have any advice on this? I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks again.

I'm also interested on this. Thanks for your efforts
Nope no recovery because the Verizon minis bootloader is locked. It can be rooted with kingroot i think its called and then switched to SuperSU by replacing it.(I used super sume pro to get rid of kr) ****!!After root install a application like "disable application [root]" and disabe all Knox applications and any unused apps.(look for a list of recommended apps to disable)

How did you switch it over to SuperSU? I tried, but when it tried updating the root binaries it couldn't continue because of KNOX, so I was stuck with Kingoroot's.
I used this method to replace KINGROOT NewKingrootV4.50_C120_B220_xda_release_2015_07_22_105243 with supersu. most other versions i tried didnt want to cooperate and would make me lose root after one reboot. also i bought the pro version of supersume pro its 4$ off google play.

I tried it with the free version they linked to and it de-rooted it, so maybe I'll try later when I have enough Opinion Rewards credit to get the pro version. That or it doesn't work on this phone with Kingoroot. (The Google Play description says it should do Kingoroot though.)
Did you download the correct version? The one off the kingroot site doesn't work for me. It just deroots. I still have root on both of my s4mini Verizon phones. Try this link to get a working one.HERE scroll down a bit and the different versions are there. Try each one starting with 4.5. Also remember to restart after you root with kingroot and install super sume after the restart.
I just had to re-image my phone, so I did it according to your directions. (Though with the free version still of super sume) and it worked, although it won't update to the newest root binaries. It fails when I try. Did you have this issue? Other than that, SuperSU works.
I updated using "normal" and it worked fine for me. Glad su works at least. also for one phone I did a full unroot factory reset and then I reflashed a tar with Odin. Did the normal root with kingroot 4.5. Restarted tried a few root things like no frills cpu thing then installed super sume pro. Did stage 1. An 2 then supersu started up automatically it asks to update (I think net connection is needed) *do update "normal" because there isnt any recovery. Uninstalled kingroot like supersume says. Did a few root things then restarted. (Checked for superuser after reboot and it stayed)
I'm doing a new thread instead of posting on the specific stock because I believe this problem may be more generic.
---- Details -----
So, I have a P601, so Exynos processor, and I heard that recently it got the LP update, so after over a year of not messing much with root and stuff with my tablet, I decided to update it.
First, I had the Hydronium ROM (4.4.2) installed, a stock based ROM. This is the one I used for over a year, no updates.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782580
Then I decided to install this one via TWRP ([Official Lollipop 5.1.1] Galaxy Note 10.1(2014 Edition) SM-P601 Firmware Root Deodex)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ficial-lollipop-5-1-1-galaxy-note-10-t3249975
And what I got was a Black Screen and no boot besides the Galaxy Note logo.
I then downloaded and flashed a stock ROM via Odin ([Official Lollipop 5.1.1] Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) SM-P601 Firmware Update)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ficial-lollipop-5-1-1-galaxy-note-10-t3240720
---- The Problem ----
And it booted back with all the data intact, but since then, a few apps like Gmail, Inbox and Hangouts do not work anymore, and when I check my google account, every time it syncs, it gives an error and Gmail and/or Inbox crashes with an "Unknown Google Play Services error".
I thought the problem was that I had 4.4.2 Gmail apps and they did not get updated to 5.1.1 (Though I would guess the stock rom would have done it...), so I downloaded TK-GApps, but when I went to install, it did not let me do it because I already have Google services installed, and it wasn't TK-GApps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
So I ask, is there something I can do? I already installed the initial rooted ROM over the stock, so I have root and stuff. I would appreciate any suggestions that may help me to get it synced and not have those crashes every half an hour or so.
Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------
So, following the happenings below, I left it charging, and just before going, checked again if GMail was working and no deal, so I went to Titanium Backup and restored the data (not the apps), and in the middle of the process, GMail notified me with all recent emails, and everything works now. Well, no idea why it wasn't working before, but now it does.
Well, decided to reinstall everything again, so I backed all normal apps with Titanium Backup, and used TWRP to wipe Data and System, and re flashed everything. Followed the welcome screen, logged on my GMail account, installed Gmail, says my Google Play Services should be updated, I updated it via Play Store, and still no messages... Went to check if my entire Google account synced and no deal, failed.
So I'm guessing I must be using incompatible ROMs or something like that... I guess?
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) using the "XDA dev thread as per instructions" and come across a problem that the internal memory in the internal storage got filled up from 4.5 GB to 565MB. I used Odin 3.7 version.
Then I Un-Rooted it after googling it because of the memory problem and used "Triangle Away" while in midst of the "Cleanup" process of SuperSu i forced stopped it (cause I thought it was stuck) and Uninstalled the apps that i downloaded and then did a clean up afterwards again using SuperSu (which it did pretty fast) after installing the official firmware and rebooting the phone.
"I encountered problems."
Facebook apps show black screen and won't open (but now they work instead of few others)
The apps from the play store won't install and get stuck while in between installations (like upto 78% downloaded and get stuck).
Rooted now again and Busy Box isn't working it says it encountered an error (it says try sometime later.. no installation error given).
These are the issues I'm having right now !!!! PM would be apt for contacting me. You can also post here.
It would be difficult for me to know where this thread went.... though later.. :3
PLEASE HELP.
Ok, just rooted my Samsung Glaxy Tab 3 SM-T210R android version 4.4.2. Used TWRP and SuperSU. Tablet seems to be running fine, it will connect to my wifi network but then it is super super slow, so slow it is unusable. Not sure what to do now. This is my first attempt at rooting anything.
The reason I rooted my tab was to be able to remove bloatware and move apps to external sd. So any help doing that would be appreciated as well. I can't download any apps to do thatuntil I fix the wifi problem
Please help!

Date and Time were changed after rooting my tab. Tried opening chrome and it gave me an error prompting me to update date and time. After doing this for whatever reason Play store is now working again and was able to download App Manager III (App 2 SD), will try that for moving apps.
