Make sure you uncheck auto-reboot in Odin; then when Odin gives the RES OK message, you have to manually boot into recovery using the HOME, POWER and VOL UP buttons.

Download you're firmware from sammobile.com.

This are no custom recoveries made specifically for the T2105. Most people just use the ones for T210.

guys just a quick noob question: i want to install nolekat on my device (sm-t210); it's just as i bought it, so nothing changed. hence, the first step i have to make is to install this recovery or to unlock my bootloader (as on android phones)?? i couldn't find a right answer..
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Bootloader is not locked, just install recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Updated to TWRP 2.8.0.0 to cooperate with KK bootloader.

NOTE: The new MTP feature of TWRP causes issues with ADB access while in recovery. You may need to toggle "Disable MTP" a few times from the "mounts" menu to get ADB access.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Read the post above yours.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] HerroYou:
Or try repluging until it says COM3, when I tried it on COM4 it didn't do anything
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Estevão Antolin:
so, I did a backup, installed the full KK firmware, then flashed the twrp 2.8, full wiped my device and restored my backup.

and I ask you: I have now the new bootloader? LOL

I'll give you a feedback later, but twrp 2.8 works fine.

[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION], thank you very much for this great work!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] sscsps:
What's the difference between com3 and com4? I know that com3 appears when device is connected in odin mode and com4 appears when the device is connected in normal mode (or android running)

So, what's the difference these other then I stated above

And would it create any problem if I flash something while in com4 instead of being in com3
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] HerroYou:
I am pretty sure nothing would go wrong if you flash with a different COM, but usually COM is which port is open/ odin able to write to.

When I install T210R stock firmware, in downloading mode it was COM3. After rebooting, at first odin said the tablet got discounted but after a while the tablet reconnected and COM4 appeared.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] sscsps:
Yeah, I understand what does COM actually mean, I was just been asking what would happen if I flash something while device is connected on com4, i mean would it install what is supposed or would it create some problem (ok you said it wont create any problem), or it simply would not do anything (won't install anything, simply don't do anything)

[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] can you answer this for me?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] pairdime:
Hi, anyone??
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Aroma installer is not a part of recovery. You can use Aroma file manager, but you need to download it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] laufersteppenwolf:
[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] mind telling me what you did in order to fix the recovery loop? :D
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
I used the stock init binary and added the 2 lines we mentioned before. The problem was that the custom recoveries don't have a property named sys.recovery_done. So the exec was never being triggered to clear recovery mode. So, I added sys.recovery_done=1 to the end of the default.prop.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] laufersteppenwolf:
heh, that's exactly why I asked you to compile a recovery with the stock init binary for me ;) I wanted to check this by manually setting the prop via adb ;)

anyways, great it worked ;)

But TBH, I already wrote a kernel-side workaround to avoid being stuck in recovery by accidentally hitting reboot into recovery (never happened to me of course :o :D ). So in case some people haven't updated their recovery yet, or just want to disable "reboot recovery" for safety reasons, my next werewolf kernel will come in 2 versions, a normal one and one with blocked reboot into recovery :D
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] HerroYou:
But recommend to the people to update their bootloader :P
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Arcus92:
Hi, unfortunately, it happened to me. I clicked on Reboot to recovery to flash SU. And after TWRP flashed it i stuck into recovery mode. My t110 (Tab 3.7) doesn't have an mount usb mode to copy the "default.prop" to my computer and edit the file like you said. I don't want to add a line blind via "echo" in the terminal. But i think i have to doesn't i?

Can you tell me if i am wrong? I have only flashed TWRP 2.7.0.1 with Odin 3.0.7 and installed SU. I didn't update the kernel or bootloader.

Is this right:

echo "sys.recovery_done=1" >> /default.prop

I know this recovery boot loop from my Samsung S1+ many many years ago. I Remember to flash something and it never happened again. Maybe it was this file too.

Edit: I tried it but this did't worked for me :(

Edit2: I fixed it by flashing the original recovery mode, reboot to system and reflash TWRP and never ever use a software button to goto the recovery mode :)

Great but one issue

Common issue with twrp v2.8.2.0 and previous versions:

Recovery settings do not keep set after each reboot of tablet. They just keep resetting to default settings after each reboot. Annoying as hell of an issue though.

Anyway's awesome work as usual gr8nole with this recovery. It is the one I always use:)

High Five all the way to the top:)

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 AM ----------

To me it's personal preference.

Choose the one that best fit's your needs:)

I like twrp best because it is easy to use:)

Might start theming twrp for our devices :) give it a different twrp look [emoji14]
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] JT1510365:
This is what problems i am having with latest twrp.

1. I disable Screen timeout in twrp recovery and it works but then it enables by itself again once I reboot recovery or device.

2. This happens also for timezone settings.

3. Also whats that CPU 80C in the top right corner and why does it stay like that all the time?

4. I get bad installation (flash) and unable to mount /system after I wipe everything but internal storage. To fix this I have to make sure mount system is unchecked. Then I can flash.

Thx for your hard work:)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Maybe deleting your TWRP/.twrps settings file located on internal storage will fix your settings problems. I don't have any problems with settings sticking.

The 80C is a temp reading. It doesn't work on our device.

The problem with mounting system is a common TWRP issue and is mentioned in the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] JT1510365:

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Cristiano Lira:
Can't transfer large files, Windows prompts file is too large for the device

Why it's not possible to transfer large files using this recovery? I would like it was possible because it's the only recovery I know for the T210 that USB storage work. Or there is another recovery out there that works too?

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RainGater:
In the OP, you state to go to the following URL to get the latest version but all I see is 2.7.0 for SM-T217S. Am I looking at the wrong place?

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12871
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
That link takes you to my TWRP folder for all devices. Click on the subfolder link for T210\T210R.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RainGater:
No wonder why I couldn't find TWRP 2.8.7 under T217 as I was searching in that folder. The zip wasn't flashing on T217 (unable to mount /efs error) and had to flashify the image and now it isn't booting.

So, it looks like it doesn't work for T217s or anyone got it working?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Nope. I dropped support for T217 a long time ago.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RainGater:
Well, you could have told me that little piece of tidbit when I asked you where to find 2.8.7 for T217s ;)

Oh well, after flashifying, the device wouldn't boot... Had to ODIN to get the recovery going.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Thought you were looking for T210, since this is a T210 thread.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RainGater:
When I look in my device, T217S, I don't see any files under /efs and looks like it's corrupted or not sure why it is missing. I just go a refurb tablet last week and probably, that has something to do with it.

My question is would it be possible to copy the /efs partition files from another device to mine? If that is the case, can you please zip it up and post it here?

I tried Kies, Kies3, SmartSwitch and all of them are not letting me get into emergency recovery as it complains that my device doesn't support "initializing" or something to that effect.

How can I get /efs working and because it's missing, the Factory mode is always ON and battery dies in few hours without even using it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
You'll probably get more help by asking these questions in a thread specific to the T217S. I don't have that device and neither will most people looking at this thread.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] kato7youknow:
just use twrp 2.7.0.0 it is stable.

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12892
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] cdzo72:
That's NOT a solution because the EFS partition of each device contains it's IMEI information so it's not interchangeable or flashable from device to device. There are other tools to restore EFS partitions using the IMEI number you can see on the device.

To answer your question... YOU need to do more reading to learn how to restore your EFS OR take it to someone

The video is a little outdated. Immediately following the install instructions in the OP, the is a link to the SuperSu thread where you can find the zip to flash for root.

Also, once you get TWRP installed, it should ask if you want to nstall su binary when you exit TWRP.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
See my edited post above.

Yes, there are a couple selinux issues that I worked out, but that is not the issue. We have been using a very hacky mixture of binaries to even have these versions working. We use the stock recovery init binary instead of the one compiled in twrp and a few other things just to get this working.
