Technically, you CAN flash any rom you want, but you will want to stick with ones specific to your device. Flashing a ROM or Kernel for a device other than yours will likely put you into a bricked state. It could be a soft brick, but if the kernel re-maps your buttons, you may need to buy a recovery dongle to get back into recovery to flash a proper kernel to your device.

TL;DR - Don't flash ROMs that are not for your device.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] nabril15:
I just bought us one of these and it looks amazing.

Does adding recovery automatically root the device? Or are root and discovery 2 separate installable things? Does it matter which is done first?

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] bmg002:
Root and recovery are 2 different things...you need recovery before root I believe
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] nabril15:
Bmg - I previously owned a sprint epic 4g touch, and in that world you loaded a stock or custom rooted rom in order to root your device. With this Tab and my new LG G2 it sounds as though you add root to a rom and you dont really need to wipe the whole device (if staying stock). I want to stay stock rooted for a while before trying roms.

Is my statement correct? So I can add root to this tab and then remove bloatware and etc and stay stock but rooted. Versus with sprint, I wouldnt bother updating apps or anything since to root it, I had to flash a whole rom and wipe it out completely. I hope my question made sense.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] bmg002:
Root is technically just an app... /system/bin/su. Root is built into roms usually because it is easier that way. If you get a custom recovery on, you simply need to find a flashable su and a root app. If you are installing a custom Rom, a full wipe is always recommended... even updating from the same ROM...

Custom kernels and roms though are much more interesting as they add features... stock you are sick with tw

Weird, so i flashed the uk one that was posted here and it worked...but i still have my wallpaper, apps, and stuff...and no root....

gonna re flash twrp now and see if i can get re rooted...

but this firmware seems to be working....i think?

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

thanks guys... it seems to be fixed... i can see my internal storage again in twrp but its called data now... other than that everything is working... rerooted....

what an adventure... sheesh..
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
I found out that when trying out TWRP, regarding the internal storage/SD being shown as data, not sure if it's an issue with TWRP or the tablet itself or whether it's just how it's supposed to be?

Anyway annoyingly I wiped everything whilst setting up for flashing a new ROM without knowing, luckily I had a External SD card handy so was able to put CM11.0 on it and flash a new ROM, tried sideloading but wasn't sure of the correct drivers to install, computer wouldn't recognise it properly when in TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
yea i want to use philz but im kinda scared now as i dont know how back up to internal properly... thats how this whole ordeal started... Im back on twrp 2.6.0.0 now....

Is that twrp 2.6.3. 0 that you posted the link to capable of flashing 4.4 roms?? I may just flashify that....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
Yeah, that's the only version I've been using so far, you can flash CM11.0 (4.4 ROMs) with it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
ok this is strange... i flashed that 2.6.3.0 img and now i cant see sdcard again?? or data i guess...

is there some way to make twrp see it?? maybe this is why i couldnt see it before??

on 2.6.0.0 it was there....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
Have you looked in the Mount section in TWRP? See if they are all checked.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
yes and data wasnt checked... i checked it and tried again and it still wouldnt show.... do i have check it... reboot abd then look again??
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
I'm not sure, going to try an look on mine, maybe this version is just buggy or something?

I'm tempted to just move over to Philz Touch or CWM.

EDIT: Nope, Internal SD doesn't show up on mine, even after rebooting (that just resets the mounts anyway)

That's why I must have thought I'd wiped it earlier on today, turns out it was never viewable in the first place.

Ah well not sure what's going on with this version, time to install another recovery I think, shame as I prefer TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
so you're saying everything in mount should be mounted?? I mounted data and rebooted recovery and still nothing...should system be mounted?? on 2.6.0.0 it was just there...i didnt have to set anything....hmmm
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
Rebooting just resets the mounts anyway so they won't stick, Internal SD isn't even listed at all, no way to get into it which explains my situation I had earlier today.

I'd say something is definitely not right with this build, probably best to use Philz Touch or CWM 6.0.4.5+ if you want to use 4.4 ROMs otherwise TWRP 2.5.0.0 in the OP will be fine for Stock Samsung ROM.

EDIT: Looking in the log (middle button), it states E: Unknown File System: 'datamedia' , not a developer but maybe that's why it's not picking up Internal SD?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Yea i just flashed the 2.6.0.0 img again and internal is back.....hmmmm.

I'm looking to test one of the 4.4 roms in this thread and am looking for the latest TWRP zip that's safe to use with my T310. I followed the link in your sig but I'm seeing a couple different versions. Is there a version that you recommend I try?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Android-Andi:
In my signature it´s only for the Galaxy Tab 2 ! Don´t flash them on other devices!

I haven´t released TWRP 2.6.3.0 for the Tab 3 8.0 because i can not test it.

I upload the recovery.img from last Omni builds.... it´s TWRP 2.6.3.0.

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] metaphz:
Did I read this right? Somewhere I read to use 2.6.0.0 because that is what I have installed. Should I revert to 2.5.0.0? I just attempted to make a backup to external SD and it failed and backed up to internal even though I selected external. It is a 64gb card formatted exFAT is that not supported?

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] nabril15:
Tacos. Welcome to the tablet forum. Sure, many of us can and will help you. But first, at least, search no? Go to the q&a thread of this forum and you will find what you're looking for. Or maybe even read the opening post (OP) of this same topic, and I believe that instructions are mentioned. Like with most forums, search, search more, read, read, and then ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] upndwn4par:
What is this?

Recovery flashable cache, Dalvik, and data wiping tools.

Why?

The script that wipes data should help prevent the problems experienced when different recoveries wipe data differently and with different options to choose from.

(Those that have typed in "YES" when wiping data know what I mean)

Why are there two?

One wipes cache & Dalvik.

One wipes cache, Dalvik, and data.

What data is wiped?

The data that is wiped should be all that is required for flashing ROMs (see below).

Media (your pics, music, etc) will not be deleted.

Feedback

Feedback from users that flash a lot of different ROMs (especially both TW and source built) will be useful in case there are any additional files and folders that need to be wiped.

Usage:

As always, flash at your own risk!

Flash in recovery

(these are most useful when using a recovery like TWRP where multiple zips can be queued for flashing)

A typical queue might be something like this:

1) Cache, Dalvik, and Data wiping tool

2) ROM

3) loki-doki

In case any devs want to add this to their ROM updater-script (most likely for an Aroma package), this is the code for the data wipe:

delete_recursive("/data/app");
delete_recursive("/data/app-asec");
delete_recursive("/data/app-lib");
delete_recursive("/data/app-private");
delete_recursive("/data/backup");
delete_recursive("/data/clipboard");
delete_recursive("/data/data");
delete_recursive("/data/drm");
delete_recursive("/data/log");
delete_recursive("/data/misc");
delete_recursive("/data/property");
delete_recursive("/data/system");
delete_recursive("/data/time");
delete_recursive("/data/user");

Thank you for this :good: what about formatting system though? Formatting system before a rom flash has solved many problems for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] upndwn4par:
It would be redundant since all devs should format system in their install script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jaythaovadose:
Finally. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mocsab:
I have been meaning to thank you for this - I have used it a number of times already and found it to be very helpful. I am on OUDHS recovery - and while it would be better in some ways if I had TWRP because you can setup multiple files for flashing - it is still a big time saving tool when flashing any rom, update, kernel or theme on OUDHS/CWM. ANd it works beautifully.

I assume that I still need to wipe system when I want to do a totally CLEAN Flash - is that correct? If so - any thought of creating a third file that Wipes Data/Wipes System/Clears Cache and Clears Delvic Cache?

Or do you feel that is not needed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jetlitheone:
Lol probably will implement this into my ROM once I put Aroma into it, if that's okay?

lol I love that part about "YES" i've seen too many users wipe their whole partiton and TWRP not be able to create one again (idk why) and then bootloops galore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] upndwn4par:
If devs are coding their install scripts properly, there is no need to wipe system (as I mentioned earlier with formatting system).

But...maybe I should make one just in case. :D

Absolutely you may use it. That's why I included the code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] upndwn4par:
Added zip to OP that will also format /system.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murrfk:
I have a strange problem. I have seen similar problems but none of the 'fixes' work for me.

I have a stock Evo 4g Shift Rom. It is rooted. I wanted to try something so I reset the phone after making a clockwork backup. However, I could not get wifi to work after the reset. I tried many things...deleting the dalvik cache, downloading wifixmanager, erasing dhcp files and nothing would work. Additionally, I could not get adb to work properly - it would lock up on SU,and would not allow me to shell into the phone unless I was in recovery mode. However, I do not have a data package, so the only way I could get files on this phone easily is with wifi and it simply will not connect. I have other phones that work fine on the network. I reset all the routers (I have a few). Nothing I have tried will work.

However, if I restore the backup, everything works fine. So there is something in the settings that gets removed with a factory reset and causes wifi to not work. The phone sees the networks fine, but will not accept an IP address. Even with a static IP it still says it is searching for an IP and will not connect.

I have spent most of the day on this, and would appreciate any thoughts or guidance.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murrfk:
I have tried toggling Airplane mode. It is a Stock Sprint Rom, Android 2.3.4 HTC Sense 2.1. I have rooted the phone and I think I have s-off, but it does seem strange that the factory reboot won`t allow wifi. I was running this phone on a non-sprint network but now it has no carrier at all as I have switched to a sim based phone. This one is straight CDMA.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murrfk:
OMG...it worked today. The only change I can see that I made was I installed busybox on the original phone that I backed up, and then reset it again...wiping dalvic cache and cache and repairing permissions prior to the factory reset. But this was just weird all over. I spent all day yesterday on this.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad The Pathfinder:
You could try flashing a different ROM like newSENSE. It is sense 2.1 and has everything like busy box already in it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Glad you got it sorted. The fact that you had switched it to a different carrier may have something to do with it. I have run into this on devices switched to Boost, and then back to Sprint.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
Hello there

I have always switched between Google Edition and Sense ROMs ever since GPE ROMs were released. I love how simple, quick and bloat-free GPE ROMs are and I also love how feature-packed and elegant Sense feels and looks. I have decided to use GPE for a while and therefore I have a couple of questions regarding it:

1) Is it possible to get the native Sense mail client on it? I don't like the "EMAIL" application that comes with the GPE. I could try alternatives on the Playstore if need be.

2) Is there a modification to enable Advanced Power Management on it? I have searched in the Themes & Mods section but all of them seem to be for Sense ROMs only. Some people claim that ones designed for Nexus would work but I wouldn't want to risk trying that in case it'll mess anything up. I do have a Nandroid Backup just in case, though.

3) What are some good Quick Settings applications? I have tried Widgetsoid on more than one occasion and it's fairly good but there are a couple of things about it that annoy me, like how you must leave a notification icon in the left side of the status bar in order for the QS to be on top of the pull down, otherwise it'll just be an empty space which looks ridiculous.

4) What is the best mod to enable battery percentage or replace the stock one with one that shows percentage?

Thank you very much guys, I really appreciate your time.

Have a great day.

EDIT:

2) I resolved number two by installing Xposed Framework and MoDaCo Toolkit and enabling Advanced Power Management under "Google Nexus (all)" menu. I tried enabling it under "HTC One" but that didn't work, probably because it's for Sense-based ROMs.

4) I resolved number four by installing battery mods from this thread.

hi all.

this is my 2nd htc one as the 1st i had had a half black'd screen problem out of nowhere.(photo 1)

the auto focus wouldnt work especially in close range shots.

photo 2,3,4,is the shots , this 2nd htc one took.when i got this replacement i noticed this problem but didnt care as i dont use camera too often,but when i had a close look at it today, the focus would do auto focus reapeatedly for a like many times then stoped there ,with a very blurry picture,no matter how many times i press the screen to make it focusd,just wont do it.

unless i suddenly move the camera to take a further picture,it would focus a bit, but later when i stopped moving and stood my arm still, it happens again. only 1 or 2 photos i took out of 30 would be a "good" one like photo No.5 , but still not perfect at all...

check out the youtube video clip i uploaded to show you whats the video is like took by this camera...

Thinking this was strange behavior, I gave up .seeing as how I was able to take about 30 clear pictures while manually focusing before, went ahead and closed all apps, changed view modes, changed camera scenes, toggled from video to picture modes, restarted the phone several times and checked for available updates to the firmware. All with no luck.

My current firmware is still 4.1.2, as OTA hasnt arrived in my country NewZealand yet...damn...whats taking it so long.

will the new 4.2.2 fix this or should i just bring it back for another repaire (becuase most likely in NZ,it sux bcz you will not get a replacement straight away after a month) ?

here is the video sample:

I'd suggest using the option of touch to focus+snap.

Once you allow this option and you tap the screen it focuses and immediately snaps a photo, in my opinion it brings the best pics.
