First of all I want to thank all the developers on this and all forums, I hope that you prosper in your endeavers...
I have been at this since the sprint mogul came out. Playing around with PPC kitchen and technology keeps getting more 'interesting'...During the s3 root procedure I was fascinated with the Knox and how it was dealt with automatically with Supersu, and how cwm took control of keeping itself as the recovery as well as offering to keep root(such manners!)...
Check your Version # this how to is meant for 4.2.2 ONLY
I believe there was just an update(cause my phone downloaded it and wanted to install) I knew it was time to root again.
This summer I finally upgraded from my beloved Galaxy s1... After many a rom it was victim of a glass of water
spill...Bought a s3 sph-d710 for cheap and have been loving the phone but missing my wifi teather(and text to speech
prowess, why does the s3 stock suck worse than s1 cyanogen 10.2?) so I know I must root.
OOps my volume UP button is
broken! How to I get to downoad mode? to use ODIN! Gueess I gotta Root on the Phone...
ABD? Tried finding the tiny version of abd but after failed downloads and searching for links for the tiny version were
broken so...instead I Installed towel root and followed the guide here
http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/easiest-one-click-root-method-for-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-0155625/
It was so amazingly easy(you download towelR touch the red Icon or one of the donate links in TR), wait 20 second click make it rain, wait 20 seconds then check with saferoot...(after installing it @ goo.im)! After TR immediately without rebooting install #saferoot(do not attempt to get root with this just install), and install CWM recovery which I did thru rom manager(via google play, I attempted to install from their site but it was a zip and it did not jive with my unpackaging skillsEDIT Drr it was prolly for cwm?). Safe root does something for SuperSU so that it will not hang while removing knox( wait 5 min if it seems to hang then force quit and u prolly did not install saferoot yet so do that and try again)
(EDIT: be sure and install safe root (FROM GOO.IM)after you make it rain with TR and then you install supersu & rom manager.Also Install towelroot and Supersu from their perspective verified real web page not other sources/googleplay) I was freezing at chainfires supersu install after making it rain)but once saferoot is installed it will disable knox(noted above)
I then took out Knox with Supersu simply by opening the program(it will ask you if you want to kill Knox) also it will ask to
update everytime.
Then I Installed the 4g and hotspot fix via CWM recovery via Rom Manager reboot into recovery and I was fully functioning..done! ND8Oxed 4.4.2..

Many thanks to both bilgerryan and jdsingle76.
So just to help out other noob out there, what I did was:
1. root the S3. www idigitaltimes com/samsung-galaxy-s3-android-442-kitkat-update-how-root-sprint-sph-l710-variant-and-install-custom-roms
(Sorry I am not allowed to post links yet)
2. Install a custom recovery. I did not use Philz. I am sure it must be very good. However, I am not very good at using
Odin yet. I used CWM. Installed it directly from play store. There are lots of youtube videos on how to do it.
3. copy the Hotspot ROM zip file to the SD card in the phone. In my case, the ROM is the ND8 odexing version
4. Back up my stock rom (rooted) with the CWM recovery, in case something goes wrong. Lots of youtube videos too.
5. install rom from the zip file using CWM recovery. (again, lots of youtube videos available)
6. factory reset and wipe the cache
7. reboot and setup the phone from scratch.
There you go.

It was so amazingly easy(you touch the red Icon or one of the donate links in TR), wait 20 second click make it rain, wait 20 seconds then check with saferoot as root checker will tell you that you are not rooted?! After TR immediately without rebooting install #root checker, and supersu and CWM which I did thru rom manager.
Strangely #Root checker(upon my request) kept reporting that I did not have root. Curious if root checker was wrong I
nstalled safe root (noted above)and Obviously there is some whole new route to root cause It said I was indeed still rooted, weird!
I then tookout Knox with Supersu simply by opening the program(it will ask you if you want to kill Knox) also it will ask to

Finally I Installed, then opened Rom manager and Installed (VIA ROM MANAGER)!)CWM. Treves wifi tether did not work for me in 4.4.2 so I knew I must install fix via zip in CWM.

TowelRoot seems to be broken when it comes to the latest S3 model called the Sph-L710T and i have a guide in this question thread with root info for the Sph-L710 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787771 if you want to take a look at it but thanks for the info
I have installed TWRP recovery but in the process I killed the standard OS. I was intending to put Cyanogenmod 12 on the machine after getting things backed up. Now I can't find the file.
My current build is P5210UEU0CNK1, which is a wifi-only US version.
If that is lacking, are there any recommendations for an alternate? I looked into reinstalling the original file but all the websites require membership.
bump
Officially confused
I know. I'm talking to myself again but I had to say that I am truly confused. I found Cyanogenmod 12.1 for my P5210 tablet. Installation went well. When they say the first boot takes quite a while, believe it. It took two hours to finish updating all the apps. But here's the puzzle:
This thing isn't rooted! It was before I started, or at least I thought it was. I putTWRP on it, and as suggested I installed Houdini and GApp on as well. But Titanium refused to run. Running a root check confirmed it.
I guess I have two questions in my mind. How did I install TWRP and a new OS on a tablet that wasn't rooted. Or, if it was, why isn't it now?
flashing new roms removes roots on most devices unless said rom is pre-rooted. To my knowledge rooting is only initialy needed to install TWRP or CWM. After i think you can flash new roms and such without root and so root is only needed if you want to run apps with root like es file explorer or titanium backup and such.
If you want your tablet to be rooted again download this supersu file from chainfire
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
And flash it in TWRP, after that you should be rooted again, it works for me on my galaxy tab 3 and kindle fire hd 7 whenever i flash a new rom and lose root
Hello Community,
I am new here and would like to install a custom rom onto my Note 10.1 2014 Wifi Only.
The main reason why I want to do that is because I would like to use of the side button of the S-Pen in my apps (mainly Squid). Is that possible?
If so, where do I start? I would like to try this ROM is it appropriate for my needs?
Code:
[lt03wifi][P600][ROM][CM13.0][6.0.1]Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Builds [Almost Daily]
I previously tried to root my device but i guess that failed. So now I cant do any updates anymore. I think I also tried to Install TWRP but when I boot to recovery it gives me the standard Android system recovery telling me it couldnt mount /data/. Is that a problem? And what TWRP will I need to install the latest ROM?
This is whats on my device:
Model: SM P600
Android version: 4.4.2
Kernel Version 3.4.29.2612580
Buildnumber: KOT49H.P600XXUCNH3
Thank you for reading my post and thanks in advance,

Hi, I cant really help you, other than to suggest you try posting in another forum, this one does not seem very helpful, Ive posted problems here and have not really found much help. You may get some help from here below, they are very friendly and very helpful and a few really really smart people with great information. Good Luck!
forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-2014/
Hi and welcome,
I'm not sure what it is you're looking for with the side button? Generally, the implementation of the s-pen is a bit more complete in Samsung's own Touchwiz ROMs. You can get a decent experience with the s-pen in ROMs like the temasek ROM you posted, but you won't get all the functions you have in Touchwiz (and you might to have to install some extra apps).
The info about TWRP should be in the thread for @joshndroid's temasek ROM that you refer to, including the appropriate downloads. Not sure what happened to your /data partition, but if you can still boot into Touchwiz, you should be fine and could just flash TWRP again.
So I can just take the latest TWRP and flash it? The Samsung ROM just catches the signal of the sidebutton before any app can fetch it. Im looking for a way to make that accessible because some apps use the button but these functions never work.

Yes, I would think so. You just need to find the proper format for Odin, I think that's tar.md5 if I remember correctly? At some point the newer TWRP versions were only available as img, but in that case you can flash a slightly older version (I think 2.8.6 was definitely working) and then flash the newer version directly from TWRP.
If the Samsung specific functions of the spen are interfering with what you want to do, AOSP or CM ROMs should indeed solve your problem, as they don't have those Samsung features. There are some apps to get some of that working, but if you essentially want to get rid of these functions in favour of your other apps, I suspect you should be fine.
So I had rooted my Tab S back in 2016 or so (if you check the forums here you'll see my posts for this...). Have had that working for a while now. It tripped the Knox (I didn't personally care about this) except now I want to install a couple streaming apps on the tablet and the OS is too old to handle it
I had loaded TWRP onto the Tab S and rooted it with Lollipop stock ROM and loaded it with SuperSU. It has worked like a charm up till now, issues with Link2SD notwithstanding (I have ZERO intentions of going back to that app).
My question is: what do I need to do to install the newest possible version of Android that the tablet can take? I know it's an older tablet now but I still use it for reading and other stuff, and I'd like to keep it alive a bit longer by installing a new Android OS and ROM on it.
(aside: I did remove a bunch of stuff once I rooted it, so I am not sure how much this may interfere with any attempt to update it to a newer version of Android)
(aside #2: I never updated SuperSU through the app store as I was afraid it would break the root process, so I left that app alone and eventually it stopped showing up in my update list on google play. I'd have to check the tablet to see what version of it I have installed at present)
Funny, I just updated my Tab S this weekend. Same as you, was running into apps that no longer support older OS. I updated mine to Lineage 14.1 version. So far working fine. I know there is a newer version but after reading the threads, this version seemed to be reported as working better. Just follow the instructions in the thread to upgrade.

Hey thanks for your reply!
Do you need to update the android version to get Lineage OS installed?
No you do not. You just have to update the bootloader. Instructions are in the thread on how to as well as to have to confirm.
Hi again,
Sorry could you point me in the direction of said thread?

Cannot find the Lineage OS ROM image, I think it may have been removed from their site given the age.
Do you have a working download link for this?
Edit: please ignore post, I found it as soon as I posted this -.-

Personally I like the Resurrection Remix rom. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-resurrection-remix-n-sm-t800-wifi-t3606243
Just do the standard stuff. You've got TWRP installed, so you're most of the way there. Back up whatever you want to back up, and then:
1. Wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
2. Install OS.
3. Install Magisk (if you want to use Magisk for your rooting needs. It seems to be the popular root tool now. It's pretty boss.)
4. Reboot into system, then back into recovery, and:
5. Install GApps or whatever. I like NanoDroid myself. It's the alternative to GAPPS. There are a few odd programs that just plain won't work with it yet, but the official Google apps have an annoying habit of wasting processing power on pointless background nonsense, so I prefer the alternative. Also there's an Xposed module that improves compatibility. https://nanolx.org/nanolx/nanodroid
Hmm I'll take a look at this other ROM
Currently, I have a rooted stock ROM (SuperSU ad root manager), and interested in moving to a custom ROM that is well supported
My only 2 concerns before starting are:
1) Do I need to update SuperSu
2) Do I need to update the bootloader before doing anything else (even the ROM that you suggested @FailSafeNow ? )
Anyone who was wondering what happened:
Process I used (done 2 days ago as of this post):
0) transferred all relevant files to device for the operation, backed up stuff I wanted
1) Updated bootloader to marshmallow via ODIN
2) Updated TWRP to 3.x (forgot exact version) from within TWRP
3) Wiped system + data + cache (I could have probably wiped internal memory but there wasn't much there anyways)
4) Installed Lineage OS 14.1 and Nano Gapps from within TWRP (in that order)
( full disclosure: I had wrong Gapps .zip file the first time and had to get the right one afterwards)
While I had the superSU package, I decided not to root the tablet again. I don't think I need the customization that root offers this time around especially since Lineage OS is already so lightweight compared to the stock ROM I just replaced...
Thanks all for your help!!
Over and out
Thanks all! Nice super fast tablet with amazing battery life now

I know this is a somewhat old thread. I have a T800 myself and am looking for a ROM. Want to try Lineage OS 14.1 like you have tried. Was curious as to whether you still have it and if you still liked it? If so, what version are you running now and how is your battery life compared to stock? Thanks so much! :good:
So I've read enough posts to get this first - GLOBAL ONLY I got my phone on Amazon its a global unlocked NOTE8PRO. Any of you with something else like China or India try this method and brick your phone don't cry to me over it. After trial and error, bricking my device and paying some guy in Spain 30EUR to unbrick it (thanks brother you rock) I thought I'd share my final experience and how you can get your GLOBAL RN8P to a stable place to install the ROMS available at this time. I will include at the end my thoughts on the 2 ROMS I installed and used over the past week. Honestly if you're on a global version I'm not sure it's worth it although as I type this I kinda want to flash Pixel Experience again, I really liked it. But more on that later. I compiled this guide from sources here, if I don't give you credit I apologize in advance please just let me know.
First let's make sure we don't brick this mofo.
Hit the MEGA thread if you haven't read it then you shouldn't be flashing your phone, and do this from a clean install of MIUI-V11.0.6.0PGGMIXM and do yourself a favor and get it from Xiaomi or a reliable source, not everyone on here has good intentions. There are some "official" ROMS out there that have been played with and will break your phone.
1. Do it how you want I did this from fastboot. Dump the official MIUI global ROM in a folder, and (I'm on linux box so adjust yourself if you're sadly using Windows) I executed this command from FASTBOOT in the MIUI ROM folder with ADB and FASTBOOT installed for my system.
./flash_all.sh (I think its flash_all.bat for Windows)
This going to wipe your stuff out, have it backed up. I'm dedicated to Google and GDRIVE I don't care I get everything back when I wipe including sms and phone records etc, but to each his own.
It's going to wipe and restore to factory image on that ROM version and you're going to go throught setup again, tedious (I say that having done it 4 times this week) but none the less it is what it is. After you are up and running on that ROM version keeping in mind if you're going to flash a new ROM like PE then don't set it up all the way because you're going to do it all over again anyways move to the next step.
2. From the MEGA thread flash this and reboot. Read the thread download the files and do what Agent_fabulous (awesome guy btw) says. Reboot. Make sure you can reboot to SYSTEM and all is well, don't worry about recovery or bootloader yet.
Code:
fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk.img
3. OK kids we're almost there, now you need to install TWRP and there are MANY versions floating around. Honestly the official version sucks IMHO. go to this thread and download TWRP and do exactly what it says in the thread. Assuming you're device is unlocked already and if its not then come back later follow EXACTLY steps 2 and 3. From there you will update MAGISK after the reboot and be fully rooted and pass SaftyNet checks.
You are stable and rooted. All you do next is enjoy your rooted device and or install a custom ROM. If you do install a custom ROM - READ READ READ and FOLLOW directions I hate to add to the confusuion but there are so many threads on this phone (becasue it sucks to MOD it) and it's frustrating because all of it assumes you know everything or they just don't give you all the steps and you end up bricking your phone. I have never by the way rooted or flashed a phone in my life before this one.
At this time all the custom ROMS need to be flashed after flashing the Indian Vendor image, this is in fact the only way I know and it worked for me everytime. So at this point if you're flashing a new ROM first flash the India Vendor image then flash the new from all from TWRP. But in my experience just follow what it says because Agent_fabulous and friends may crack this tomorrow and it won't be the same. What I am giving you is a VERY stable platform to start flashing ROMS from or just to be rooted and happy. As an FYI from this you can install RIRU and EdXposed if you want to do that, I wasn't impressed other than dark mode in GMail on A9 and ad-blocking in YouTube, I get the ads in YouTube but Google no dark mode in GMail on A9? WTF??
Happy rooting and ROMing.

Hi, I would want to ask you some questions. Is it completely fine to flash ROMs? And by it, would it help out fix battery usage? Eg: Android system. Pretty much why I am looking forwards by flashing custom ROM's. And, have you tried Pixel Experience on the global version of redmi note 8 pro? I am looking forward to it.

Given how aggressive the battery optimizer is on stock, I doubt you'll get more juice out of it.

It's fine to flash ROMs I felt PE was way faster the audio was better over Bluetooth and it was pretty stable. Battery improvement was negligible.
@dcindallas glad you had such a nice experience. have you tried flashing miui 12 on it? seems there are some beta versions for it. seems to bring a lot of eye candy, privacy and performance fixes. give it a go.
@dcindallas hi, can you please add a portion for updating miui rom through twrp (when new version available) the procedure. thanks.
I've not flashed anything but custom ROMS I had to wipe go back to A9 stock ROM due to Pixel Experience dropping wifi constantly.
Well, I appreciate all the effort going into this thread and this device. Thru all the reading I've done on this simple project with different advice, it almost seems there's too much info on it. Anyway, I'm having a dickens of a time with it, just getting it to load up TWRP! I thought I followed all the directions.. y'know... hold this button, dont hold this one, release this one, then repress that one... but I got a bootloop just from flashing TWRP. I had to re-flash the whole MIUI (an older one even) with Mi Flash, the only one I could find that had a flash-all script in it.
I'm a little gun shy, but I'd sure like to give it a go again.
I flashed twrp-3.3.1-0-begonia.img, then rebooted. Any advice why I bootlooped? Was it the TWRP version or did I mess up the button press?
Cheers
