I downloaded the latest twrp from their official page. I opened Odin, pressed the AP section and the only thing I can add is the zip. Im also using the latest usb 3.0 that connects to my device and also connects to my computer. No luck whatso ever

https://mega.nz/#F!OolGXaSB!h-dK8fm5FLXgoKi9-5U0OQ <-- Did you download of his megaupload link ? As i rooted my Tab S4 on Pie 9 few weeks ago and everything went fine ? OEM lock is on ? And you do have SmartSwitch installed ? As that install the correct Samsung driver ? And you are using the USB C cable that came with the Tab S4 ? As some third party cable have issues!

You don't flash zips through Odin like that. Those files are flashed in TWRP. Plus weta_pie is the Custom ROM. You need the kernel.

Kernel goes in the AP option? Which exact one for android pie
Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

No, you don't flash the kernel like that. however It looks like things may have changed since I rooted. And the version of WETA Kernel I used isnt available anymore unless im blind.
Regardless Ill go over how I did it and hopefully that helps you.
First I flashed twrp-3.3.1-0-gts4lwifi.img to AP in Odin (Make sure you boot into TWRP right after you finish flashing or it will be overwritten with stock.)
Then formatted the data partition
Then rebooted back into recovery
Then flashed Forced Encryption Disabler V2 in TWRP
Finally WETA_Kernel_T83x_v4.0 to the boot partition.
My device would hang on the Samsung logo but hard resetting it would do the trick.
I do have these files however im not sure if im allowed to post them here.
Note: Apologies if my formatting and typing is strange ive been up all night trying to fix my sleep schedule.
Edit: The tutorial can be found here if that explains it better.

That is the right version of TWRP but the flashing is failing on Setup Connection. Make sure you're using the original Tab S4 cable, Running Odin 3 as Admin, and have the Samsung USB Drivers installed

Flash stock ROM/Lock boot-loaders without a PC on a rooted/unlocked phone? Possible?

Hi,
My problem is that the connection on the bottom of the phone are kind of broke.
Sometime the phone thinks it's charging when it's not and sometime the connecter dosen't work at all
So my question is if it's possible to flash or install stock Rom/lock boot-loaders from the phone so i don't have to connect it to the PC.
Is that possible? Because i want to send it back to Samsung for repair.
P.S I can't check the stats on the phone. Like boot loaders and stuff like that because i got the phone to charge now. And i don't want to change anything because then it might stop charge. I Can write the specs in a cupple of hours.
Thanks in advance!
Don't think so....

You should be able to flash a stock ROM, but there is no way to re-lock the bootloader with connecting to a computer.

If you can get it to connect once, you can do everything without unplugging.

Its prob a driver issue. Did you install the fastboot driver? I've never used the toolkit. You can also have a look at the "flash" link in my sig

Re-locking the bootloader does not wipe. But if you flash the data partition of a stock ROM, it will wipe. Did you check out the link in my thread? All instructions AND warnings are in there.

Ye i did check it but i didn't read it so serious :/ So i missed that it wipe the phone when you flash the data partition of a stock ROM. But I think it's really strange that it wipe everything? It removed everything on my phone. Not only to rom and that. It wipe the sd card(Bad word but you understand)
I just read the "topic" on your thread. It said "Backup your data" and i thought ye i have everything backed up on titanium so I don't have to read this part :/
Oh well i got a backup from 20 days back so not a huge deal

I'm pretty sure my guide says to back up your data OFF of your device. The /sdcard on a GNex is nothing more than a folder on the userdata partition: /data/media. So when you erase the entire userdata partition (which contains /data) with the fastboot flash command, it will certainly erase /data/media.

Use fastboot to flash a recovery image and from there flash a ROM. With a little digging I think there is even a way to fastboot flash a ROM, or you could always use a RUU and just root it again.

flash one of the factory images using fastboot. you can then install cwm and copy whichever ROM you want to and flash it in recovery

Do not use the Toolkit! Higher chance of bricking devices! Just use fastboot commands, what's wrong with that?
On your computer, just download a ROM, put it in the same directory as adb and fastboot, type in "adb push ROMNAME.zip /sdcard/" while on recovery mode. Not that hard! This way, you can educate yourself, so you don't need to ask for help again!

It sounds like your drivers may not be installed correctly. A few posts above yours is one by efrant. Read through the guides linked in his sig. One of them has some great information about drivers and making sure you've got them installed right. It looks a little intimidating at first, but read through a couple of times and it won't seem quite so overwhelming. If you're like me and need some information to compare against, check out Jubakuba's guides as well. They are both covering about the same thing, just explaining it a little differently.

The toolkit wont help you now, will it?
Uninstall drivers, reboot pc, put phone in recovery, connect to pc, feed it the naked drivers, use adb binary for windows which i'm sure is attached to one of the few guides.
Push the rom, flash, done.

1.first you must download fastboot drivers From my mediafire page to your computer detect your phone at fastboot and extract it:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kl623smbg4oea0u
then Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold menu button and plug in USB Cable), there is a driver error(dont afraid) do this:
go to device manager(just type at search), and update driver software, then browse the location of extracted package(USBFlash_driver(S1boot Download), click install anyway, finish.
then:
2. Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
3. At the bottom click 'Continue' and enter your IMEI (type *#06# to find out), name and email address
4. You should now receive your unique unlock key
5. at the extracted package open fastboot folder
6. Hold SHIFT and right click on the free space of the folder
7. Select 'Open command window here'
8. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn phone off, hold menu button and plug in USB Cable)
9. In the cmd windows type in "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version" (without ")
10. If a value is returned, it means the phone is correctly connected
11. Type in "fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY" (without ") and replace KEY with the key provided in step 4.
12. You're device should now be bootloader unlocked

[Q] [10.1] [GT-P5210] Rooting?

Hi,
Is there anyone who managed to root his/her Tab 3 10.1 ?
I tried it several ways, but, no luck
I now have firmware version JDQ39.P5210XXUAMG6 and SuperSU installed (by rooting/flashing via Odin), it was a pre-rooted firmware. (Android version is 4.2.2.)
But the problem is, SuperSU wants to update the SU binary, or else it won't work. Then I can choose between CWM/TWRP or Normal recovery.
I've tried everything but it just doesn't work.
When I choose for Normal recovery, it just reboots into recovery and then doesn't do anything.
When I choose for CWM/TWRP recovery, it's the same problem.
I already have flashed the other recoveries and tried both options, for both recoveries, but, again, no luck
Oh and using Superuser instead of SuperSU, doesn't help either. It has the same problem.
Other superuser apps don't work, too.
Yes, almost forgot, enabling USB Debug Mode does not help, neither with flashing pre-rooted firmware again, with USB Debug Mode on.
Thanks in advance...

I followed this guide for root and recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432467
Only things to beware of:
uncheck the reboot option in odin and just hard power down the device after flashing the recovery.
Cwm only will use an external micro card (sees it as sdcard) so put the root zip there.
Vol up and down seem backwards to me.
Good luck. -- Bud

I've used the exact thread and with the same suggestion had success.

Aight, thanks!!
It worked by flashing/installing the root.zip through TWRM (verification disabled, else it failed).
So now I have root access, but, I encounter another problem... I can't update the SU binary...
When I try it through Superuser (that one with the green Android logo), it says the following:

Same worked for me without issue. I would go with factory reset(wipe everything if your having issues with SU) and then use the files from DutchDanny's thread.

Hello,
I just pulled my tab out of the box and when I turned wifi on it started downloading system update. In fact just finished downloading it. I'm wondering if I allow it to upgrade will I still be able to use Bindroid's root method. Anybody allow the upgrade then root? I have the att variant of galaxy s4 and i know there were a lot of people that got boned when they allowed the build upgrade before rooting because of the bootloader... I'm currently on MI8 build on my P5210. Under update info it just says size and "improved stability." I'm probably just paranoid from the s4 but just curious if there was any insight out there. Benzo I quoted you because I've seen your name a lot helping out.
Thanks!
no video in vudu or netflix after root via bindroid
Hi I rooted my gt-p5210 a coup,e of times thru bindroid. All works well, a little laggy but thats expected. Only problem ive found is that netflix and vudu both load all tbe way but neither will play the video its goes to video buffering then restarts the app. Any Ideas? Btw I used oden and cwm.

I've updated and have rooted and gone back to stock and rooted again several times. Never any issues. Ymmv.

Excuse my ignorance here, but "laggy" ?
My rooted Tab3 doesn't seem to show any lag at all ?
Is it the general consensus that 'rooted' devices experience lag ?

Agree. Probably meant the recovery app (cwm or twrp) is laggy which it is. I would guess the chip is in a power saving mode under the recovery apps and no one has figured out how to fix this. -- Bud

Tab 3 7" T210R is slow and won't root!!! HELP?

Gentlemen,
This tab is slow....keyboard is very laggy. So I figured I'd root it and load a ROM to it.... I flashed the file listed in the thread,
however, power, home and up won't go.... upon ocsassion, it wil bring me into factory mode..... wierd. My s3 and 4 rooted just fine,
so I'm no stranger to that......
Suggestion? Is there something I'm missing?
Other suggested in antother thread to reload factory firmware from sammobile...... I don't believe it would solve anything......
Thanks guys
You should try to flash the original firmware and see if it would fix it. Before doing it backup your data in case it doesn't fix

When flashing recovery, do not check auto reboot on odin and when it says pass after a successful flash, do the three combos then flash universal root.zip thing then qualla, your device has been rooted
Source: it happened to me

I used this link - Worked just like the video showed except I found that after flashing the TWRP recovery tool, I had to hold volume up & home for an extended period before the tool would boot. Watch the screen. After the Samsung logo dissapears, there is a slight glow on the screen. When that glow disappears, release the keys and you should see a lock screen. Swipe and you're in. Good luck.
