All this leads to the fact that the problem is that their server was malfunctioning and now it is fixed. It is not your OS. Should work on anything now they have fixed the server. Anytime you try to download a ROM and it finishes in 1 minute it will certainly not be a ROM. :)

A Rom to get into Stock should be close related enough to this tread. Just in case I apologize for Hijacking.

I did use CWM to original root my TAB 3. It did the job. But When I used to Backup It gave me incomplete files!! So I move to TWRP witch sadly have the inconvenience that you have to wait 3 seconds on every Button Press. Do not press any button twice wait 3 seconds to respond. I have successfully used TWRP around 12 times to Backup, Restore and Install New Rom.

As I said, I will try again to download Stock after Midnight. I do not want to clog my internet and have the kids complaining. Not on a hurry. But it is nice to know I have an easy fix to get in to stock. A new link can be appreciated.

I am paranoid, with all this new sites and services. I thought you could not download to the cloud files bigger than 250meg!

THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this root and I painlessly and successfully rooted my P5210 this morning. I can go to bed tonight feeling satisfied. WOOT! This is greatly appreciated.

The reason you root is so you can install a ROM so it IS related to the thread. The trouble here is that there is a disconnect because DutchDanny and others have successfully figured out how to root this Tab but there don't seem to be much in the way of ROM's or ROM threads to even discuss this. And so.....

All I can find out there is DutchDanny's seemingly slow development of BinDroid_ONE_P5210_V3.0.0.zip from http://www.bindroid.com. I can't find any place to hold discussions. As far as i can tell it is a refinement of stock 4.2.2 giving it a tuneup and debloat. Does anyone out there have any experience with this ROM? Am I assessing it correctly? Is it an improvement? Are they any problems? Does anyone have the inside track to information on ROM development for this Tab, particularly 4.4 KitKat? Any links? This is my first Tab and I am so eager. I even have already a functional KitKat on my HTC Incredible and the suspense here with my new Tab is killing me.

I realy apreciate your efort but I have su much bad luck!! I was abut 50% and dropbox disable the link"

I guess I will give a try the previous link.

Listen this x86 is a new thing plus this tables are low volume, whell they are starting to roll out. So the gurus have not goten involved.

But before Cristmas there where no more than 1 or 2 post. Now we have a crowd here. Soon we will be notice.

I do not know the real story of DutchDanny's . reading some articles it seems he started just by deleteng all the samsung/google crap. But many people complain. As I undrstood his Mod was the first one. So people expected more. So he did ver 2 and 3 every time leaving more od Samsung/Google stuff. Still in ver 3 the size is atlest half of the original firmware!! I like it but In my preference I will take out more of the garbage. So Iam using APP Quarntine APK to Freeze many of those apps before I deceide to fully removed them.

I tryied ver3 and In my opinion is aceptable. He adde the charging while connected to PC!! This in fact is not such a greate idea. A USB should not be used for more than .5A. And If you look at the Charger it can provide upt to 2A!! 4 times what the PC is allow to supply.

So I guess if you hook a TAB3 Full Charge to the PC it is OK to leave it hook. But I will suggest to NEVER connect a Drain battery Tablet to the PC with this Bin!! You can burn the USB port an even the laptop!!!

Sorry for the type errors I am an englis as a secon language and in the computer i am know I have no dictionary. Pluss i am in a hurry.

My internet up speed if below a 10% of the download link. But If I can after downloadig i try to leave it up at least the same time for others to share. That was my rule back in the old times when i did use torrents.

I downloaded the frostwire. Do not usually do but I am interested in this Stock to factory.

In any case I just saw your post and at 5:13 the archive status is Error! jijii

I used CWM to root my device first time. It work perfect. But I could not obtain a full backup so I stop using it. And I start using TWRP. TWRP response very slow some time you have to wait 3 seconds after you press a button. And it tend to bring you to Home Screen when you are trying to press buttons!

You can easily change the recovery with ODIN. So moving from CWM to TWRP or the other way is easily done even if you have problems with the rest. I my self lock me out when I deleted the system with TWRP so the P5210 did not boot.

If you decide to use TWRP remember to place the P5210 on a Flat surface not on your hands. With at least 50% Charge. TWRP is Laggy! So use only one finger and carefully press Firmly for your selection. Then wait for the tablet to respond. Most of the time you have to wait 3 seconds. Do not Press twice, wait. Clearly is it pass let say about 10 seconds you can try again. If you are slow the from time to time a Lock image Pops up and you have to Firmly Press in the Blue AREA and Slide you finger on a moderate speed.

Here is the explained method in TWRP

I am a big admire of the legacy you left for us to use on P5210. So yes I do not feel shame to say I am your fan. jijijiji

Why? Simple even when you stop doing work for us you let your site up so that we can reach you work. And most important because if we read your old post not only you provided the Solution but you teach others in public how to do it. I will not find a single post where you say send me a PM.

There are many good guys here. But they time after time keep the good stuff for them self. I do appreciate their final work too, but I prefer to learn the basic things too so that one day I can learn to do it.

Buddy do you know where we can get the pit for GT-P5210. The only I have found is GT-P5200_EUR_XX_20130523.zip and I do not know if it good file!.

Hey go and buy yourself again another P5210 and come back to help us! We miss you.

[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] yuxandyou:
I tried to install this method in my p5220 (somewhere read that works for p5220) and doesn't work, I flash with odin, it said "PASS" but no CMW installed

EDIT: You only need to uncheck "autoreboot" in odin, after flashing, wait to green "PASS" (it takes about 1-2 minutes), then, you can exit odin and long press on power button to power off and that's all, you have CWM installed

I hope I helped
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] tcmixx:
I tried that it says pass and everything and then when i reboot it, and use adb reboot recovery and I also tried volume down and home and power but im getting in to the recovery that is for samsung. What am i doing wrong? Thanks for reply
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] Zachisimo:
You need to uncheck the "auto-reboot" checkbox in Odin, and then boot right from download mode to recovery. Do NOT start to boot system or it will overwrite the recovery
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] tcmixx:
Thanks that worked:) Is there any possible way to keep the recovery there all the time?

It should ask you when it goes to reboot.

Hi all,

I tried to use this technique to root my tab3. I could install cwm fine, but when I try to flash the root.zip file provided in the OP, it does not work as cwm finds the file is corrupted (red text about "End of footer of ... not 0xFFFF). I tried to download root.zip twice, nothing changes...
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
First, use the new twrp rather than this cwm. Works better. Second, you are flashing recovery with Odin and then booting into recovery and flashing root.zip from the sdcard? If so should work. What tab are you using?

Dinc2 on PAC
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] jerome.d:
Thanks, I'll go and see if I can find it. I just arrived on this thread through google and did not look at the other ones.

Yes, exactly the process. My tab is P5210 (Tab3 10.1). My sdcard is formatted with very small clusters (4Ko), could that be the issue? I wanted anyhow to test with the root.zip in the internal memory rather than the sdcard. I'll do that when I come back home later.

jd
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
Look, this works. You are overanalyzing it. Find the TWRP thread for the P5210 and use that recovery because it is the best option right now. (Someday they will fix up CWM and you can choose between 2 good choices. The process is the same for TWRP or CWM.) Download TWRP to your Win computer. Be careful because the TWRP and CWM recoveries have the same file names. I put them in different directories.

You have nonstandard SD card so, yes, downlaod root.zip to your internal memory to reduce the variables. Then Odin to your P5210, uncheck the reboot check box, flash TWRP. Unplug the tab from the Win machine. Shut the Tab off. Reboot into TWRP on your Tab (vol up + on/off). Use TWRP to explore around with TWRP to find the zip file in your internal memory and install root.zip. Then reboot. That's it, you have installed a custom recovery and rooted your stock ROM with super user. If there is a trick it is uncheck the reboot box and unplug and shut off the Tab after flashing the recovery and then rebooting into the recovery.

Now, make a TWRP backup of your rooted stock ROM. You may want/need to come back to this spot in the future. Most people will set up the rooted stock ROM the way you want it including the Google setup wizzard, updating all your apps, and updating the SU binaries before backing it up.

To install a ROM, just go into TWRP and do only a "factory reset" wipe before installing. Remember, these ROM already have Gapps installed so you don't need them to install. We have two choices, Grevious and Pimpdroid right now and I am using the latter ROM as it meets my needs. The guys are getting dreadfully close to a CM11 build that we are all waiting to be released. They have it booting.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] jerome.d:
Well, that's disturbing... I've been trying to flash twrp or the stock recovery, but although Odin indicates no error, I'm stuck with cwm recovery even after several times trying to flash something else. Plus, the "wipe cache partition" under cwm does not seem to work (it concludes with an error).

Any idea, that would not brick my tablet?

jd

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

It's not my first flashing, far from it, but I do not seem to be able to install twrp. And, yes, I checked the file names (and size) to make sure I'm flashing twrp and not cwm.

But, currently, even though Odin works fine I don't seem to be able to get rid of cwm.

Strange... I re-flashed TWRP but, that time, without "auto reboot" in odin and I now seem to have TWRP...
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] Zachisimo:
You may need to follow the instructions in my thread to resrore to stock. I know to keep CWM as permanent recovery sometimes it injects to /boot just as TWRP does. I flashed CWM and had a hard time with it too. I reset and flashed TWRP and root.zip and all was good.

Sent from my GT-P5210
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
Bingo. You had "auto reboot" checked. Always uncheck "auto reboot" because you loose the recovery you just installed because autoreboot flashes the old recovery back.

You're golden. Now flash root.zip with TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] jerome.d:
Indeed, I do have TWRP but still no luck flashing root.zip, seems to be corrupted somehow.

TWRP asked me, the first time I was leaving, if I wanted to install supersu. I said yes, but I do not appear to have been rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
You are in a convoluted process here. Download root.zip again, just to be sure it is not corrupted. Reboot into TWRP. Install root.zip. If it asks you to install superuser say no. Reboot TWRP again if that happens. You can always boot into the un-rooted stock and there will be no SU in the app drawer. Then reboot into TWRP and try to do root.zip again. I think you can get out of this without Odin back to stock yet.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] jerome.d:
Already done that, several times. I even extracted the zip archive and re-created a zip archive just to make sure. No luck.

I tried root.zip via TWRP several times, same message all the time (and similar to CWM): "E:Zip signature verification failed: 1", "Error flashing zip...".

jd
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
Can you boot into stock without root and root.zip. You should be able. And check if SU is there or not.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] jerome.d:
What do you mean, "boot into stock"? Re-install stock recovery, or boot into stock system? I didn't flash any ROM so the only system I have is the stock one, in which I can boot.

In my apps, I have a "supersu installer", but when I click on it I get a message "Supersu's su binary is not present, this is a fatal error" and the only thing I can do is click "ok", which closes the program.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

PS: if I install supersu from Google Play, the installer disappears. When I launch supersu, it tells me that the binary needs to be updated, but irrespective of the method (normal or TWRP) that I choose, the install fails. For "normal" it's just "failed", for TWRP I boot into TWRP but nothing seems to be happening, I just have the TWRP menu and no supersu binary seems to be available for installation.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
Yes, that is what I mean you booted up the stock ROM but it has a corrupted root. So you are forced to Odin back to stock and start over. The "supersu instaler" I think came when TWRP asked you if you wanted to install superuser and you should have said no. Download the stock ROM to your computer from http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490002437 . Go into Odin and flash the stock ROM (same way, always uncheck the reboot box, unplug and shut off, etc, then reboot). Now you will be with stock recovery and stock unrooted ROM. Just like original. Boot it up just to see it. Then start over with my instructions. Odin flash TWRP and TWRP flash root.zip as I described. Should work as we expect now.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] jerome.d:
The key point is that I still haven't been able to flash root.zip properly, due to a failed signature verification. I can of course uncheck the "verify zip signature" when flashing this root.zip, but I may end up flashing something bad on my device, I'm not too keen on removing this safety check.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

I would have liked to avoid flashing an entire ROM...

The file you pointed me to is for the 7.0 tab, should it work with the 10.1 tab? I may as well try and find the proper ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
I tried by all means to help you not have to Odin back to stock but we failed so get over it. It always annoys me to have to Odin back to stock as well, sign of failure.

Yes, it does say that it is 7.0 tab but I think it is a typo and I have used this numerous times and it was referenced in a 10.1 thread where I found it. I think you can't flash root.zip not because the file is corrupted but because of your convuluted process of how you screwed it up. I think you will not get that error if you start over from scratch, go straight to TWRP, and straight to flashing root.zip. Give it a try.

I've been trying to unravel this since Christmas and I have it working well now. I expect I will hear a success story in the morning but I'm going to bed. You are very close. Usually the hardest part is installing TWRP and you scored big. It is just the corrupted root that is the problem now.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] jerome.d:

[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] r_hippy:
For those of you using twrp. Boot to recovery and unchecked the option for signature validation.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] kb8no:
Ah, here's your problem. As [MENTION=5037050]r_hippy[/MENTION] ponted out in the last post, you are supposed to uncheck the "verify zip signature" when flashing. I think it defaults to being unchecked and I knew this but didn't think about your post above and it didn't click at the time. I think your root.zip will flash OK then. So, where are you at from last night?

BTW, thanks for the link to the zipped stock ROM by [MENTION=5378432]Restl3ss[/MENTION] which I hadn't found yet. He does the Pimpdroid ROM as well.
