I must be missing something here......

I downloaded the click here from the op. And I try to flash the tar.md5 and it does not populate to pda in Odin. I even tried extracting it to the recovery.md5 and it still does not populate to the pda in odin. Im having this issue with the twrp files as well. Any insight into my knuckle headedness? I mean im no developer or anything. But ive used Odin quite a few times. Thanks for any help your able to offer.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
After unzipping it you should have a file named "recovery.tar.md5". That is what you select in Odin with the PDA slot.

Thanks for the Recovery, but the reason for me that i install recovery is that i can make a full Nandroid Backup, but can't find this option in this recovery, Any reason why, or is there an Recovery with those options?

Don't use what is in post 2. That is only a modified stock recovery which will not make backups but will flash signed zips. Download CWM from the link in post 1.

Am I missing something or is this recovery totally borked?

Swiping down moves the cursor 2 lines so in some menu's it's impossible to get to the 2nd row (or any multiple of it).

Same with using the volume keys, the cursor will only move on every 2nd press, meaning you can only get to the options which are a multiple of 2...

There's also issues with the menu disappearing when you press the power button and also random items being selected when you swipe right or use the power button.

I tried doing this but it boots to the logo screen then turns off the device. Here's what I did to get to the problem:

1. Flashed T210.CWM.v6.0.4.8.tar.md5 via ODIN.

2. Rebooted to CWM.

3. Flashed android-armeabi-universal-root-signed via CWM.

4. Checked root, did not have.

5. Flashed Stock.rooted.deodexed.T210R.zip via CWM.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
You should have read the first sentence of the post you just quoted.

The rom you flashed is really old (based on older firmware). If you want it to work, flash the Blackhawk kernel (or pick a newer rom).
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Devil-Dog:
1st Thanks for the quick reply!!! :good:

I flashed this one and it's working fine.

Quick question, will flashing the Blackhawk kernal allow me to move apps to the ExtSD? I was rooting for TitBU so I could move them, TitBU isn't giving me that option though
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
No, it won't. Moving apps to sd was a feature left out for this device. Some people have tried other options with varying degrees of success. Just search this forum and you will find several topics discussing it.

Still works fine with older roms too.

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

Hello,

I wanted to install a Kids Rom on SM-T210, which required CWM Recovery which required ODIN, I followed the instructions on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433853 but the file T210.CWM.v6.0.4.9.flashable.zip was actually NOT flasheable -not possible to select on ODIN, so I downloaded the file T210_modified_recovery.zip then extracted and selected the file recovery.tar.md5, I followed all instructions on the thread, used Samsung Drivers from Kies, fresh install, but ODIN throwed an error at the end of the process.

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Then my kid's tablet is unable to boot, the device says in the upper left corner:

ODIN Mode

Product Name: SM-T210

Current binaty: Custom

System Status: Official

HW Rev: 0x5

Then at the center of the screen:

.../!\...

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovert mode in Kies & try again.

But Kies can not see the tablet, at this time only ODIN can see the device, then I selected the file T210.CWM.v6.0.4.9.tar.md5 and tried again, but the problem is the same, the Galaxy Tab can not be used.

Please help me find a solution with ODIN or any other program or my kid will be really sad.

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Ok, first things first...As stated in the OP, the "flashable" recovery zip requires that you already have a custom recovery installed. It is not for use in Odin.

Download T210.CWM.v6.0.4.9.tar.md5 for use with Odin. Try everything again with that file. Forget about KIES, it is worthless. As long as your tab shows connected in Odin, it should work. If it doesn't, then you may need to try another computer (or usb port) or cable. Make sure you have USB debugging enabled and follow the steps precisely from the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] ekthor:
Thanks, I tried that file and failed agan, I will use another computer, in order to minimize the chances of failures, please let me know how can I enable the USB debugging. Does OP mean Opening Page?

Recovery Loop

Hello,

Thanks for the post, however, I am stuck in a recovery loop. I read up for hours on this but the only solution I found is to reflash stock. No sweat, if I must...

Scenario: Originally rooted last year with method that temporarily installed TWRP, is I am not mistaken, as a functional custom recovery was not yet available or something to that effect.

Flashed root zip & all was well for months until I inadvertently took an OTA while running the stock ROM

So, finally ready to re-root & see that we now have a recovery.

Flashed CWM with Odin successfully & even rebooted into ROM!

But...once I booted into recovery w/ Quickboot, I can't get out! I will say that when I first booted into recovery, CWM prompted me that "system may boot into stock recovery to you want to fix", or something similar, forgot the exact terminology. I said yes, which may be the cause of my issues, but like I said, I was originally able to boot into The ROM after installing CWM. I was also prompted to root device, to which I also said yes, & it worked w/o re-flashing the root zip.

I reflashed & even found the TWRP recovery for the device & flashed that, all with Odin of course, & still nothing. Oddly while in TWRP, albeit only for a moment, I could not find any files on the SD card, only CWM & TWRP folders! So, I thought I must have somehow wiped my SD card as I also wiped caches while in CWM, not that that should wipe my SD card, but I thought that maybe with all the fuss, I accidentally wiped more than I should, which I've never done, BTW...

So, I reflashed CWM, & my files are in fact still on the SD card, so not sure why I couldn't find them on TWRP, they must have been dumped into another folder. Anyway, still in recovery loop!

FYI, I have a stock recovery .tar for model T211, that I believe I used last year after getting root, if memory serves me, but not sure so hate to try flashing that w/o someone confirming. Think this was needed as part of the original root process to flash back to stock ROM, but don't remember & thread has been update now that we have a custom recovery..

So, what to do? Hate to reinstall stock when it's already on my device, at least the ROM is anyway, just can't get to it anymore!

Also, just in case & to dot my i's... although I have the SMT210R, the firmware on Sammy is for the Kids T2105, which I am99% is correct, as my device also lists that model while in DL mode, although it listed T210R from the ROM. Just don't have time to make mistakes, kid needs the tablet!

Suggestions? Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
So, do you have a T2105 or T210R? Either way you may have to re-flash stock firmware; then start over again with custom recovery. Make a backup while in recovery. You may be able to restore it later.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
I can not troubleshoot issues with computer/Odin, sorry. My only suggestion is to try a different computer and cable.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GWashington:
Thanks for the prompt reply!

Well, like I said, depending where I look, T210R from within settings & T2105 from with DL mode, which is all I can get into now, as I can't boot the ROM...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
DL mode is what matters. You have a T2105. If settings say that you have T210R, then you have flashed a T210R rom/firmware at some point.

You really need to start over so you truly understand what you have. I recommend downloading your firmware from sammobile.com; then flash that using Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GWashington:
Already started the DL...

I never flashed a ROM, only did what I said in the OP, so I have no idea what happened... original root was many months ago. Anyway, will start fresh, hope this works!

Was going to install TWRP instead per your other thread. Prefer that over CWM...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437219

That will work with the T2105 firmware, correct?

Thanks so much!!

EDIT: Tried DLing Sammy firmware twice & cannot open or extract zip! This is new! Must be something wrong with file... bummer!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GWashington:
PS:

Have tried 3 times to DL firmware from sammobile & all files are bad. I am trying ti DL but there is no USA version. Any suggestions on another country that might work? I am guessing that the version I did chose is not compatible with my pc...

I realize that based on my replies I may appear to be an idiot & while I am not a dev, I am not a moron either, have been flashing for years & never had any problems like this. Also been at this for many hours with no luck, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks & also had a question about TWRP in my last post.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
US version is labeled as Cellular South (XAR).

TWRP should work.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GWashington:
Thanks! So check this out...found a stock recovery for T211that I think I used as part of the original root instructions when we didn't have a custom recovery. Anyway, figured what do I have to lose? Well it worked & although the stock ROM flashes like a Christmas tree, I was able to again boot into my rom as if for the first time, as I previously wiped data/cache from recovery. And I have root to boot! From within the ROM settings, it now shows that I have 2105, not 210 R. If the latter is not the kids version, then I was mistaken and must have always had 2105, as I have always had the kids version.

The point of all of this was to get root back after I took an OTA a few months ago I lost it.However, I still would like a custom recovery. Do I dare try again? Would love to hear your thoughts on that one :) Doesn't seem to be a reason to reinstall firmware from Samsung at this point, would you agree?

Sorry for the bother, I don't usually have these sort of problems and the kid needs the tablet for a trip he is going on in about an hour. I normally would have more patience and probably not have posted yet.

*EDITED FOR BETTER CLARITY
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] ][alfak][:
It works well on my tablet but I tried on other one and it stucks booting to the CWM.

I install a different kernel and different ROM and still booting only CWM.

Any help?

PS: The same with the TWRP
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] GWashington:
You can try to find a stock recovery for your device and flash it...worked for me as per my last post as I too was stuck in a recovery loop,or download full firmware from Samsung for your device: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ I've heard others with the same issue needing to do the latter to remedy the problem.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] oac123:
Hi,

I apologize if this question belongs in another place. I have rooted and put custom roms on about 3 phones, so I am at best an amateur, and I do try and find my own answers by searching the threads, etc. (worked at this problem for about 4 hours last night).

I am working on a T210R, and followed the instructions in the first post of this thread. I have recovery added successfully and the device is rooted. However, when I attempt to flash any zip kernel or rom I get the error message "Zip signature verification failed". Any thoughts as to what might be going on? Can anyone direct me to another thread where this specific problem has been addressed?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok cool. I did this following the OP and here is what I got.

The first time(without autoreset ticked) it kinda bootlooped in the startup and then went blank. So i switched it off and tried to reboot it into recovery manually and it did the same.
