How can I root my Samsung galaxy tab 3 10.1(p5200) - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried rooting it using odin and downloaded the zip file. After it passed the test. My tab rebooted and didnt continue on. Stopped at the samsung welcome design. And just hung there. Nothing happening . As if it crashed
So i downloaded a new firmware with a certain build and installed it using odin but the firmware isnt what i wanted and a lot is changed like it was rewritten. Anyways most of my apps arent working like they used to and i still cant root the tab.
Pls how can I root this?

Need help with flashing custom recovery (Solved)

Hi I was rooted using cmenards int rom and I decided top use odin to go back to stock so I could do the update so I can get the new modem. It is how I have always done things when an update comes out even though I know I am going to root and use a custom I like to have a currrent stock backup and the latest modem. I am not new to this.so I dont know what is up.
I am using pc odin 3.07 i put the file in PDA and I tried to install the twrp with odin and it says that it worked but when I boot into recovery it is still stock. So I tried the CWM for the 7100 with the same results. (both of them I have used before with no problem) So I tried to redownload everything still the same resutls then I tried resetting everything and no luck. I gotta say I am stumped. The only thing I can think of is I was going to use kies to do the update but it was on my pc before but It hads to do an update so maybe the updated version of kies is doing something annd as it turned out I didnt need to use kies I just used the ota. So I am uninstalling it now as I type but I dont think it will do anything.
Can anyone help me please?

It's a known issue on newer android devices, it will automatically reflash the stock recovery. Try using goomanager or exynos abuse, I'm positive one will ask you if you want to disable it (I remeber it popping up)
Oooh I read about that so thats what it is. Goo manager does not work I tried but what is ths other thing. I guess I have to get it here? I will google it I see it is not in market thank you. So if that does not work how do I get around this?
Okay I figured it out. And I actually didnt even haver to hook up to my pc. I was ****ting (which is where I come up with all my good ideas.) And I remember reading about the security hole in the exynos processor and the app chainfire came up with. Which turns out to be the exynos abuse app that killahurtz was talking about. So I remembered that with the app you can use the exploit to root so I downloaded the .apk and installed and rooted and then used goo.im app to install the latest twrp. So thanks to killahurtz for recomending it and chainfire for the app and exploit and samsung for being a little bit dopey One thing I am still wondering is how would you solve this problem if the security hole did not exist? I know I saw something in the toolkit about it So if this didnt work would In have been able to hookup tob the pc and use the toolkit without having root access?
In ExynosAbuse, it gives you the option to plug the hole after you have rooted, only thing is you may break your camera in the process. I would just stay away from pirated and sketchy apps for now.

[Q] galaxy note 8 factory restore

Hi guys. Im a noob, first post here and need some help. Be searching all day for how to load a stock rom to my device GT-N5110.
Heres the low down.
Purchased in Australia. No updates applied.
Success rooted with framaroot.Was running framaroot for more than a month
Install busy box today in normal mode I think. I chose the safe option.
Edited build.prop product model so I could install Navigon
Navigon working fine
Now..........
Unable to change the product name back using es explorer or file expert.
Thought it would change after restart but device entered bootloop. I think busybox was the culprit.
Discovered recovery mode and did factory data reset. Can acces odin screen on device too.
Device boots but hangs on language selection screen
I have found and downloaded stock rom for it that I found here somehow
I tried "Mrjraider" tutorial "how to flash back to a stock rom"
but odin crashes whenever I load the rom file and it wont recognize my GN8.0
Computer runs on windows 8. Kies is up to date too. Kies reconizes device but is unable to update or anything
Was running odin in win xp sp3 with administrator
can try on a win7 computer tomorrow.
This is the name of the file its about 1.2 Gb....... N5110UEDMD1_N5110XARDMD1_HOME.tar.md5 do I need to rename this or something
There was also a .dll that was in the package, wtf with that?????
be looking through this forum all day and night and cant quite find what im looking for. If what I seek is here please point me to it. Or if any one here in Brisbane, can fix it for me,What are your thoghts? PM me.
Just want my baby back working again.
Sorry, wrong section please delete mod
If I'm not mistaken, remove Kies, then try using Odin. Also, dll is a Windows file. I could be wrong about Kies, but I think I remember reading that it conflicts with Odin.

Yesterday I installed same firmware in my computer runing win7 with Odin and Kies installed at the same time without problems. You don't need to rename the file, dll is a library for windows and needs to be on the same folder as the md5 file. Just remember to put the Note in download mode in order to get the firmware installed by Odin.
I have a thread in the development forum with the only file you need just flash in odin and done.

Tutorial is ok, problem seems to be elsewhere.
I have Windows 8 (x64) too, and Odin works i my case, i successfully flashed (and restored counter) N5110 before returning tablet to shop (it was exchange for N5100). Kill all Kies components via task manager, i have two more things in processes when i quit Kies. Next, try another version of Odin, but I remember one ROM from SamMobile, which crashed every Odin i had, so its may be this problem. Try another version of ROM - older, if exists. If crashes Odin too or not exists, try uninstall both Kies and Samsung USB driver, dowload toolkit from xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033) and install new driver via toolkit.
In rare cases may be problem in your computer, so try another one without installing Kies. I wish you luck.
Edit - That big file is ROM, dll is not needed for Odin. Run Odin, press PDA, select your rom. Turn tablet off, connect to comupter by original or hi-quality short cable, set tablet into download mode (hold vol- and home, press power on for 2 secs, select continue by pressing vol+). If all is ok, first field in Odin change color to yellow (i think), then press "Start".
Thanks to all. Let you know how I go. Odin 4.43 keeps crashing when loading the rom, on both my win8 laptop and fresh installed win 7 pc. Uninstalled everything from laptop except nero. Nothing installed on pc except modem drivers and Samsung drivers. I will redownload the rom. I think it may have become corrupt. Cheers
ok success. this is what I did. eventually got the rom to sit in odin without crashing it by simply renaming file by deleting the .tar.md5 extention. clicked off the file to save the rename. Right click on it again to rename and type the extension back in. Loaded it in odin and it worked. File name in odin showed up with duplicate file extention eg .tar.md5.tar.md5 but it worked. Odin 4.43 would not detect my device. Senior Moderator Mskip toolkit for Samsung galaxy note 8 would not detect my device .This was very frustrating
Used odin 3.07
loaded rom in pda. Found in janjannsen99 development thread.
connected device ,odin 3.07 detected it, unlike 4.43 for some reason.
clicked start.
Walla. Im a happy man.
This is the kind of story that are the most scary. Now I am kind afraid of root my note 8 or do anything unofficial.
Anyway, best wishes to you.

That's what I use odin 3.07 . Don't use the other versions for some reason they don't work
Secondly guys when you download that file in my thread tO your computer it has to be extracted first you only Click PDA In ODIN and use the file you just extracted with the tar md5 extension. Thats it. That ss.dll file has no purpose its just there and you need not even bother with it.

I am also trying to restore my US-based Note 8.0 WIFI (still on 4.1.2), but couldn't figured out which ROM file I need to download.
Could you tell me the filename? I am using the Note 8.0 toolkit.

I have checked that, but I don't see US Note 8.0. The search seems broken to, since United States is not shown in the list of country for Note 8.0
No one knows how to get the stock US based ROM?

people keep posting to go to sammobile but every time i look there isn't a rom labeled for the US, and they dont give an explanation of what rom would be the equivilant or even if any of them would be. Should I use UK version? is it the same as the US?
I'm having the same exact issue as OP and I can get into download mode and i have odin 3.07 but i am just looking for the exact rom to load and cant find an exact answer so far. I've already messed up my tablet enough today so I don't want to flash the wrong rom and make things worse lol.

ps I looked for janjansen's thread in development and did not see it, am I missing something? anyone got a link?
ok I did some more reading around the web and found that a lot of people used the UK version as I kinda suspected. Would have been nice to get confirmation on that but its cool, I flashed it, no problem, and now I'm setting up the chainfire root and getting back all my apps. So all in all it took a few days but I'm back on my feet *sigh of relief*

So I'm Pretty Sure My Wife Is Going To Kill Me

So I offered to put a custom ROM on my wife's Galaxy S II T989, because she likes my S3. First problem was it would NOT root. It would install the superuser app but it wouldn't verify as rooted, says the su binaries were not installed... Ok. I wanted to use the CM11 Kit Kat Rom, so the instructions said that I had to be rooted so I kept looking and finally found one for su v0.92, it failed in CW recovery so I tried it using Odin, and again it failed. So I rebooted the phone to try again later and it is now stuck in a boot loop. I have read that Odin can be a little finicky so I kept trying and to no avail. I even tried Heimdall Suite and it said that it detected my device but after I tried to install the root package that way it said device could not be detected and threw an error. I couldn't figure that out, so I verified that the USB drivers were installed and they were. The forum says I have what's called a soft bricked phone and to download a recovery kernel for it and it should fix the problem, but I can't find one for android version 4.1.2.
I have tried two different USB cords, and two different USB ports and nothing. I am just so lost confused. I completely abandoned Android after Froyo and went to a Windows Phone for over 2 years but recently came back because of the lack of app support. I used to flash ROMs on my LG Optimus T all the time without a problem. Things have changed I guess. I'm pretty sure that my wife is going to have a cow when she wakes up this morning. Any help that anyone can provide would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!
So I fixed the problem with the boot loop. Odin finally wanted to cooperate this time. I downloaded a stock time and extracted the md5 file out of it and flashed it using Odin v1.85 with defaukt options checked and it worked! I hope this helps someone who was having the same problem I was with the Galaxy T989.

replying to my own thread here and my thoughts, was initially kind of hesitant to softbrickby trying to root my new well refurbished tab pro 12.2, as mentioned in earlier post unknowingly installed updates and now my device was saying firmware version as KOT49H.T900UEUANI1 and this was released by samsung on 9/11/2014, got my act together with some courage and downloaded cf autoroot package and odin 3.09( in odin 3.09 one has to press AP to flash .md5 files as there is no pda button), booted my tab into download mode and it showed knox active and not rooted or something like that, followed procedure and flashed the file and tab rebooted and showed blank white screen and my heart stopped for a second as i did not know if something has f'd up but then cf autoroot started(looks like a command prompt window in windows) and it did its thing and tab booted again and i checked supersu and it was there and checked to see if its up to date and it was and when i opened supersu it said knox detected and to disable it and pushed YES and it disabled know and i took a big deep breath and rebooted back to download mode to check and it said recovery is custom and knox rooted once and booted back and all is well, i have used these methods in the past for my galaxy s2 and lg g2 so i am aware of what needs to be done if something went wrong and gathered everything to fix, now i am ready to do further mods to my sweet galaxy tab pro, take risk to do it for yourself. happy rooting. make sure to gather all needed files before so that you can fix if something f's up.

Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 4.4.2 Root Not Working...

Hey all, I downloaded the file from Chainfire, I have tried CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar and CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar, and all they do is get stuck in cache (I've already wiped the cache,) and the screen seems to look like it's snowy with colors and just fails every time. I've tried different ports USB 2 and 3, run in administrator, Kies does not work and I can't OTA because it's now saying that I modified my system even though I do not have root.
What are my alternatives? I see a lot of posts are from last year so I don't know where to look because I'm sure something has to have been updated.
Wow, no one can help?
Edit: Fixed it myself.
How I rooted it: Reset device (you should backup first if you do this,) downloaded Samsung Kies 3 and reinstalled the drivers for it, enable USB debugging mode, and use the odin method, worked on the first try.
