Thank You. I tried again and I was able to install the zip file. "SuperSU" program is also installed automatically. I am not sure why it was not successful in the first place.

I wanted to root the device in order to use the "GL to SD" program to transfer large apps into sd card. Hope that program (GL to SD) works for my device and applications.

Thanks again for your help in rooting the device.

This CWM recovery is not stable both of it.

Normal touch type can't find the zip file. Real touch type button is not work but not all.

Reboot menu screen button is no response sometimes.

and Backup file is very large.

Anyone has same issue?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Actually, they both work fine (for me). Do not use the POWER, HOME, Volume Up button combo to enter recovery. This issue is mentioned in the OP. It still functions, but can be confusing if you do it that way.

In the touch version, if you don't see the zip or folders you expect to see, just scroll up or down to see more.

Your results may differ, but I have no problem finding/flashing zips from either sdcard (maybe it doesn't like your ext. sdcard??).

If you can provide logs to substantiate your claims, I will be glad to look into it.

Flashed and it works but i have one bug.

in CWM it only goes to every second line.

So it jumps always over 1 line.

How can i fix it?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Do not use the button combination to boot recovery. Use quick boot from the play store or some other method of booting into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] cramamarshall:
This works great on my T210. I downloaded the flashable version. I even tested it with Quickboot (Root) from the play store and it worked excellent! I had another recovery installed but it only worked with the button combinations and not the app! :thumbup:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] hb88xx:
It does not jump two lines, you have to swipe twice to see it jump.

If you swipe once it has moved but does not display, but you can confirm the action and it will proceed

Hi all,

I have a T210 tab..

This rooted, but I can install CWM from recovery because I got error: E:signature verification failed.

Dumb: can I install CWM from system recovery or only from Odin?

Other question: Can anyone give me a working Aroma installer pack to T210/T211?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
You can not install from stock recovery. If you don't have custom recovery already, you must use Odin, or dd type method.

Just want to give a big Thank you to gr8nole for this recovery.

I installed this on my SM-T210R. Followed the instructions in the OP. Installed CWM version 6.0.4.5 and then flashed the universal root. Recovery works smooth and perfectly. I boot into the recovery only using Quick boot. It boots quickly and Swipe navigation is flawless. Navigation using the buttons worked fine too, no issues at all.

Made a nandroid backup and restored with the backup no problems at all.

hello gr8nole,

Looks like all the partitions match up, so it should be fine to try it. I expect that it will work. If it doesn't work for some reason, let me know and I'll post the T2105 stock recovery, so you can get it back to stock.

Worked perfectly (both custom recov and root).

Any way to mount external sdcard? It's visible when the rom is running, but can't seem to get it mounted in recovery.

No big deal, just thought I might be missing something...

Thanks to everyone involved.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Recovery should be able to see the external card to flash roms and make backups, but it won't mount it so the pc can see it.

Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX HD
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] trouinky:
Yeah I don't know what's up. It's good in the ROM, but I can't even manually mount it in recovery, says ext_sd not found (or something like that). I'm clearing it and going to format from inside the ROM and see if that solves it. If not, maybe another sdCard just to try something else. Recovery working fine otherwise, I'm stoked to see how I can tweak this device.

It's a 32GB so maybe recovery only sees 16GB max? But like I said, it's OK inside. Playing a movie off the card now, actually, just to test.

This will be odd but earlier today I gave up and tried restoring with KIES. Afterwards I rebooted into recovery to be sure that was okay and it booted into CWM... without a problem. What do you think would have been fixed simply by restoring with Kies?

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The T210_*LZMA* recovery does work (on my T210R) but still has navigation issues.

To clarify what I mean by 'navigation issues", When you press Volume Up or Down, the highlight only moves "every second press". If you press it once, the menu selection does technically change, but the highlight stays on the previous item until you press a second time (then the highlight skips down/up to the second menu item).

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] konsti:
Hello gr8nole, thank you and all others for your contribution! Just purchased a SM-T210 on sale :laugh:

With regard to your comment that I found by accident: despite CWM 6.0.4.5 working on my T210 (with the highlight movement glitches if cold-booted) I noticed that when I was installing any ROM, I no longer get boot animations.

I installed RocketTab v2.1 and thanks to tempdroid's comment (who did this ROM) to install RocketTab v2.1 MOD T210R MK1 Kernel that might fix boot animations too -- well it did!

Do you suggest I replace my current CWM with this CWM MK1 file? Should I re-flash it via ODIN?

What's different in the MK1 sources, if I may ask (and not asking you to type too long text!) in lamen's terms...

Many thanks in advance.

P.S. Should we expect a newer version of CWM for this device, in the near future... i.e. keep an eye on this section?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The rom boot animation problem is totally dependant on the kernel included with the rom.

I made this newer MK1 version of CWM specifically to troubleshoot the same type of issue where some people reported having issues while others didn't.

No one has reported whether or not it fixed their issues, so I don't know if I will make this the permanant version or not. I do know that it works fine on my device, but I never had any of the issues that others had.

I did not compare the differences in source before compiling this newer kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] konsti:
Dear gr8nole thank you for taking time to reply. A final question, I asked in another thread about fixing permissions, after having checked CWM Recovery 6.0.4.5 version where in "Advanced" there's no such menu option. I've seen it on a friend's phone (obviously different build) but not on this tablet version.

Any tip on how to fix permissions…? or other alternative method is welcome… Many thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
It has been removed from sources since about version 6.0.3.5 or so. It caused more problems than it fixed. A quick Google search may turn up a couple other options, but I haven't used any of them.

From the OP...

If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.

It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly.
