My tab 3 device is rooted with King0root, that worked well.
I downloaded and installed the root app from Firefox when I was logged into the Tab3 because downloading from Odin in Windows did not work (due to driver problems).
F-secure is installed from Google Play.
Odin also didn't seem to work on other (Windows) computers and I tried the different Odin versions.
The only Odin version that seemed to work was 3.07, but because the status bar was missing on the Tab3 while loading, I knew something went wrong.
After F-Secure was installed, everything first worked well, but that was short-lived.
After about 3 weeks, Tab3 was restarted, F-secure message windows appeared immediately after logging in with the text 'program has stopped' and within a minute the crash and restart.
F-secure stop and delete failed, because the system crashes randomly.
King0root cannot be stopped or deleted either.
In recovery mode, I deleted user data / factory settings and deleted the cache, all of which have no effect.
In safe mode, the apps cannot be stopped or deleted either.
With Heimdall-Frontend I could only flash individual parts from stock ROM on Tab 3.
A status bar was displayed during loading.
But after the flash is completed and Tab 3 is restarted, there is no noticeable change because all added apps remain.
The system also continues to crash randomly.
The only thing that changed after flashing is the date / time that was reset to the build date, that's all.
When flashing 'system.img' it was noticed that the Tab 3 is restarted immediately after completion.
When flashing all the other components, it took a few seconds for Tab 3 to restart.
To me it seems that with such a quick restart 'system.img' will be removed.
That would explain why no 'real' changes were made when restarting after the flash has been completed and the user data has been erased.
Now this thing seems to be 'soft bricked'.
Can someone help me solve this?
Another boot loader was proposed, who can help with that?

Today I quit trying to repair the Tab 3 device as hardware starts to fail. The combination 'power' with 'volume up/down' fails, then I guess it's game over. So I discarded the device and checked TechRadar for a new device where quatlity/price is right, combined with black friday offers I now have got myself a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 WiFi tablet.

Hi all,
I have a standard HTC desire on which I lately have problems with the android market app.
Yesterday I could not download any updates from installed apps - I got the "download failed, try again" message.
I tried to empty the cache from the market app, tried to restart the phone and I also found a suggestion to empty the android_secure folder on the sd-card. That didn't work either.
Then someone suggested I'd reset my phone to factory settings, but unfortunately without succes. Since doing that (both before and after restoring my backup'ed apps and data) I get the same message again. I am not able to update any app I have on my phone at this stage - they are displayed in the market app but downloading fails.
(I was at first able to select apps I already had installed on my phone from the market-website via my laptop browser and have them delivered to my phone, but that stopped working also - it weren't the updates anyway.)
Now every time I start the market app it crashes the first time I start it and then after restarting it displays the message "Application not found" for any app I select (either to be updated or new apps).
Anyone who can help me on this one?
Apparently the problem solved itself. I had the feeling the phone performed much slower though and did another reset to factory settings and since that everything works fine again!
Problem solved...
Hello.
I recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7in and everything seemed to be working just fine until the system eventually prompted me to update the Samsung software. I followed the steps, the tablet downloaded the update files itself and rebooted in order to install the updates. Problem is, during the reboot/installation process the screen remained black with just 2 lines of pixels on across the screen, I though this was part of the booting process but it just stood there for more than 10 minutes so I decided to turn it back on. Everything seemed to be fine, but then an error message came up saying there could be problems with the software (i didn't pay too much attention), but after this it won't let me install any apps. After an app is done downloading a message pops up saying "unknown error code during application install -110", plus my computer (or any other computer) doesn't detect when it's plugged in via USB cable. I've tried doing several factory resets and wipes and still have the same issues. Tried installing Kies but it won't detect it either.
How can I repair the firmware without having to connect the tablet to my computer? Is there anything I can download directly to it or transfer via Bluetooth to re-install the software?
Any help will be very much appreciated
Try resetting it back to factory defaults. You can google it easily.

my friend has the same problem. did you fix the issue? if so how?
I am using the Apex Launcher but I think this is possible with stock launcher as well hopefully it helps someone. This is one way to do a factory reset is:
You will need your MSL TO DO THIS. If you don't know it put the "Factory Mode" shortcut on your home screen then skip down to the 2nd part of this post & install the msl app.
FACTORY RESET:
1) long click on the home screen
2) click on shortcut
3) select Activities
4)Scroll down to "Factory Mode" tap it then select the dropled down one. This will put a Shortcut on the Home Screen.
5) Find the Factory Mode shortcut you just made & tap it to open it.
6) Dial ##786# then on the screen that pops up
7) select "RESET"
8)enter your msl in the box that popped up then select ok then the device will reboot & when it powers backup it will be like it was from the factory & if you don't know your MSL follow the instructions below.
TO GET MSL:
1) In a browser type bit.ly/mslutility - can sideload if needed
2)install app
3) Open app & click get MSL it will most likely fail this is fine.
4) click on the factory mode shortcut you made to open it
5) dial ##3282# & put in 6 zeros-it will tell you that it's incorrect this is fine. Go back to home screen
6) Open the MSL App & click on Get MSL-this time it should give you your devices 6 digit MSL Code. Write it down. Then do step # 6 above to reset your Device.
This shortcut will allow you to put the Sprint SGT3 into DIAG MODE(##3424#) , get into the ##data#(##3282#) menu, do the factory reset ##RTN# (##786#) & most likely any other Dialer/hidden menu's for this device.
Thanks to the MSL App builder(not sure who it is so let me know please)

Hi all,
I am trying to update my 10.1 tab 3 device through the relevant entry in settings, but I get an error about my "device is modified".
I hard reseted the device, and I am still getting the same error. What can be happening?
Maybe you have root your tablet or install new recovery ?
Press and hold power, home, and volume down. You will see a warning screen then press volume up to enter Odin mode on the tablet and check the binary number. If its not 0 your device is modified and you can't update it. You must restore the original Samsung firmware without Root or something else on your device.
No, I have not rooted my tablet. I have only isntalled a few apps from the play store.
I tried to hard reset a few times without any success. I think that erasing everything from the sd card, solved the problem (after a hard reset).
I don't know why, and which app has placed what on the sd card.
I had really few apps, kindle, skype, oasvn, and some apps related to night sky maps. And the official vnc viewer app.
Hi,
I'm running a current Stock-ROM on my OP3, as provided by OnePlus OTA, never flashed something else. Just using the phone out of the box.
Yesterday, I deleted some cache data to free some space on my 99% filled up phone. Then I opened the gallery but not all thumbnails appeared and then it stucked completely. I holded the power button and it switched off. Now when turning the phone on a message appeared saying:
"The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode"
After a few seconds it changes to the 3 animated points and this never ends. All I can do is switching it off, starting recovery mode or fast mode again with the same behaviour. I tried to connect it with my PC (W10) but it is not showing up.
How can I fix this problem without loosing my data especially my pictures and personal folders. How can I backup my data? I can still see them in recovery mode but how to access them and copy them? I could live with resetting the phone losing all settings and apps, but not my files.
What is your suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Ok, I just tapped on "Reset system setting", lost all apps and settings but it starts again and all my files are still there. Problem solved.
Model: SM-S908U1 Unlocked
Hello so to start off I want to say this is entirely my fault for not backing up my phone before installing this beta.
Story:
So today I tried to create a secure folder and while it was creating the secure folder my phone shut down after rebooting I cannot get into my phone every time I enter the password it just freezes and reboots. I can see my data is still all there because I am still receiving app notifications. How would I go about fixing this as I cannot factory wipe the phone because of fear of loosing my accounts tied to 2fa.
What I have tried so far:
- Using Samsung's find my phone feature to remove the screen lock (The phone randomly reboots multiple times and the screen lock is not removed.)
- Wiping system cache
- ADB does not detect the device as it is locked so there is not much I can do with that.
Other notes:
I have used oden in the past but I cannot find the right software for my model to attempt to re flash. (SM-S908U1 Unlocked)
