Success!

@cfendrick: Rooted my device successfully, following your guide (OP). Great work, kudos!

@all: One question is left: since I started my tab the very first time (got it yesterday), I' ve got a report that a firmware update is available.

Will I loose root, or what else will happen when I install the update?

Any answer will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Edit:

I've found out it myself.A message appears: 'Your device has been changed, no update available'

Hi,

I have performed the Samsung update that arrived recently.

Can anyone tell me if I can still use this guide to root my device?

Twrp installed but no root

I have twrp installed but my tab wont root. I have had root in the past and lost it. I re installed twrp and slide to accept root but it just restarts the tab. Ive tried it manually also by installed zip file from sd card both internal and external. I have used root checker and it fails. when i click on SU. it says there is no binaries. Anyone seen this? id appreciate any help when you get time. thanks

No updates in here in a while.... Does this still work with the newest updates? I'm very interested in doing this, but I do want to be able to get updates, especially with kit Kat possibly coming.

---------- Post added at 06:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

Also, I'm new to Samsung devices. I've rooted Motorola and HTC. HTC has the s-on flag that makes it nearly impossible to brick, but also difficult to root without computer. Once I use Odin to install root and TWRP, will I be able to flash roms straight on the device? How hard is it to "brick" a tab? Is there anything I need to be careful not to do? Thanks!

Need a little help

Hi, Trying to do this on a recently galaxy tab 3 8 that I bought and my Pc with WIndows 7 won´t load drivers and my tablet is stuck on ODIN MODE

Any suggestion of what to do?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

The solution is to install latest Samsung drivers for devices, then the tutorial works like a charm.

New Tab

Hey guys, thanks for this post....Im all rooted on my G-tab 8.0...I have twrp installed for now as a version of cwm that i downloaded wouldnt work. Im not a big fan of twrp though, just wondering if its safe to update to cwm through rom manager?? Can anyone confirm whether the newer cwm touch works on these devices?? I will use twrp if i HAVE too, but i always use cwm on my phone and i prefer it....

thanks in advance!!

TWRP v2.6.0.0 r3

Hi guys! Does TWRP v2.6.0.0 r3 support OTG? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] evilRafael:
On my end (Windows 8.1 and brazillian SM-T311 3G) this tutorial only works if I un-check both "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" on Odin, as seen here: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-tab380-root-android422-jellybean-cwm-recovery-525566 (which probably must be based off cfendrick's root guide).

By the way, in reply to some people who asked this, this external link states that this method works to flash either TWRP or CWM. I too am strongly biased towards CWM, but I haven't tried myself.

Samsung (White) Tab 3 8 Inch 16 GB

So after trying the ODIN method I got hanged at the downloading screen. After some force restarts out of that screen I went ahead and did it via the SD card. I should be good, right?

(I now have SuperSU, everything seems to be fine. Just wanna make sure nothing got corrupted.)

Thanks in advance for the help!:highfive:

Recovery is not installing

Hi skythus, as u said in your post I have also been facing same problems but I have sincerely followed everything to eliminate this problem of recovery which is happening bcoz of the safety feature of our GT3 8.0.

But I am slight disappointed bcoz when I unchecked 'Auto Reboot' in odin my tab was stucked in the download load even after the successful completion of the process in odin. Even after odin displayed 'PASS' my tab was stucked.. Then I have to remove the cable and I kept pressing the power button until it restarted normally. This is all what happend.

Kindly suggest me further where am I lagging in understanding the procedure as I am not a new player in rooting I have rooted quite a number of phones but I am facing such an issue for the first time.

Your urgent reply is needed. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gr8nole:
When you see the RES OK message in Odin, you need to manually boot directly to recovery by holding Power, Home, and Volume Up for about 10-15 seconds.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mht.msr:
Thanks for your suggestion. Please tell me that when odin shows the message RES OK that is when the downloading is completed via odin then in the normal case should the tablet switch off or remain in the download mode as such?? (Considering that AUTO REBOOT is unchecked)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mido3m84:
Great job!!!:good::good::good: Worked nice and smoothly after I did a manual reset instead of auto to recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gr8nole:
If you unchecked auto reboot, then the tab will stay in download mode until you manually reboot (into recovery) as previously described.

No problem getting TWRP working and it says that RootSGT3 was successfully installed but when it boots, it's not rooted. Any ideas what I can do?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Galaxy droid fan 7:
So weird I just had this problem and think I figured out how to fix it make sure the sgt3 flashed supersu then if the app shows up uninstall it and instead install supersu from the Play Store once you run it it should I ask to install binary install it normaly and it should say Knox is detected on your device and it can cause problems choose to disable it when I ask you you may have to do this more than once for it to be successful and then choose a normal binary download again and you should.be rooted with supersu
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] vishnu8058:
I was able to root the tab T311 (running on official kitkat) by the below steps:

Reboot into TWRP recovery.

Flash ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip.

update the supersu app itself from Playstore.

Open supersu app and update the binaries using normal and disable knox when prompted by supersu

Repeat the above step again if not rooted yet.

.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mht.msr:
Is this method valid for official Kitkat firmware also?

Thanks for your awesome tutorial for rooting sm t311. I had successfully rooted my tab 3 using your method when I was on jellybean 4.2.2.

But now as I have updated to latest official kitkat firmware so I just want to know that whether this method is applicable for kitkat also.

Kindly reply soon as I am very unhappy with the sd card bug of kitkat.

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] hardythaker:
plzz help me...

14. Should this not work you can manually install using ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip file and flash via TWRP located here

a. Copy ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip to your tablet (placing on the root of the tablet storage or in the Download folder is easiest)

b. Access recovery press and hold volume up and power

c. Select "Install" from the Team Win recovery menu

d. Navigate to the .zip file and select it

e. Swipe to Confirm Flash after it is done select "Reboot" and reboot "System"

15. Verify that SuperSU is installed and run any root checker from the play store if needed

16. Update SuperSu from the play store and reboot using the TWRP method if needed.

17. Congratulations you should now be done!

but this is comming see the attachment plzz

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] marxyh:
So I did all the steps said through out this thread but couldn't for the life of me root my tab (SM-T311 Android 4.4.2).

Here's how I did it.

I flashed this TWRP 2.8.3.0 (found here ) after flashing it I went back to TWRP home screen, clicked Reboot and then Recovery. I was then rebooted into my new flashed TWRP.

Then I flashed SuperSu (found here). Click on Install find where you saved the zip. swipe to install and when done click reboot system.

And it worked! So for those still having problems, hope this works. :)

I am having this same issue. I see SuperSU in my applications but I have no option to uninstall. If I go to the PLAY Store it will show an option to update or open. Open will result in this error that you attached. If I do an update there is still no change and uninstall only uninstalls the new update. Would really appriciate any advice.

hello!, i tried rooting my gf's tab 3 tablet and im getting an issue. instead of using twrp, i used cwm v 6.0.x.x and when i install the zip file associated with this thread, itll say install complete. when i hit reboot, itll just stay on the "samsung galaxy tab 3' screen. i tried other roms and i get the same thing. I can get back to cwm, and odin mod just fine. i cleaned the delvin? cache, and it still stuck on that.. is it bricked? what can i do to save the tablet?

Firstly thanks for the effort...

I followed all steps and everything went fine... When TWRP was done with install it said root was successful but when i check there is no root Galaxy Tab 3 8.0....

Anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Fallingwater:
I'm having the same problem. I used TWRP 3.0.2-0 from here.

It offered to set system folder to write and I did it, so the recovery stuck and I can access it at will. Then it offered to root when I rebooted and I confirmed, but no rooting appeared to happen and no SuperSU app was present. So I flashed ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip and SuperSU is now present, but it complains that the device isn't rooted and that there is no su binary.

If it can help, the tablet is currently running stock ROM 4.4.2, build number KOT49H-T310XXUBOD2.

Edit: no matter, I flashed the official SuperSU package from TWRP (https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip) and it rooted fine.

A while ago I posted on here looking for help installing the latest and greatest ROM for my A500. After a short, confusing time I gave up because of general incompetence, impatience and confusion.

Well, I'm back and trying again. This time, I've found the ROM I want to install here. The guide for installing it is simple enough, but then I get stuck on step 1: flashing the bootloader. I opened the thread for it, and it linked to a guide which linked to other guides, it got to the point where I had six tabs open with miscellaneous guides in them and I had no idea what parts of which guides I needed to do. It doesn't help that the development section of this forum is a disaster area, full of yet more guides and random ROMs and images.

Someone please point me in the right direction. I've flashed ROMs before, used fastboot and ADB, used RSD Lite and Heimdall and Odin. It's not lack of experience that is my problem. My A500 is a rooted, stock OTA ICS v4.0.3. Please point me where I need to run.

[Sony Xperia L] s3nr1:
So got this shiny new phone and decide to root it for adblock etc.

The root went fine, I used the Xperia-L root zip not the chop--- something. So a while after that, maybe a day or two suddenly I get a No Service.

I went into Settings-Mobile Networks and try to choose the network manually, I couldn't, I can move through Auto and Manual but when I select Manual it always goes back to Automatic. Can you guys confirm that that settings doesn't work? Can you choose Manual instead of Automatic?

Then the phone scanned for available networks and it found my home network relatively easy...

NOW selecting my home network gives me the error "Could not join network right now. Please try again later"(or something like that). A minute after that a toast message pops up "Registered on Network" but I still get no service...

Anyone have any idea? I thought Sony phones are root friendly with them sponsoring CM and all....

I have tried everything. Unlock, relock bootloader, restored TA...flashed stock firmware....taking the sim card out while power is still on and inserting it again.....

So frustrating, thanks for any insight....:fingers-crossed:
