Hello! Im having the same trouble. Help?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BDA_Rival:
Here is what I did step by step. I went to the website, downloaded the newest available download. Then I installed as administrator. Launched the program as administrator. On my tablet, I activated development options by tapping "build number" like 8 times, went to developer options, checked on USB debugging and stay awake. The program said to connect my tablet (use the original cable) and you'll get a notice that says it's connected as a media device. I picked the top option on my tablet (I forget but I think it's mtp or something) then it downloaded the necessary driver and installed it on its own. I believe at this point right before the driver installation it asked me to unplug the device but I plugged it in right after it installed the driver. The next window said "root device". After a few seconds (maybe a minute) the program said root was completed. My tablet restarted. I downloaded busybox and did the smart install. Done. That's all. It was pretty simple honestly. I never freaked out, nothing looked suspicious and it was over quick. If you have easy tether or pda net active or anything else that would look for a mobile device, disable it till you're done.

Here's a couple attempts at CWM recovery for the T217s. This WILL increase your flash counter.

Edit: try3 is reported as booting and at least partially working, but can't mount backup locations.

try4 is an attempt to fix backup location mounting

Try1 is using the stock zImage extracted from the stock recovery.

Try2 is using a zImage I compiled from source (with a couple changes to allow for larger ram disk).

I don't know if either one will work for you guys since I don't have a T217 to test on.

Instructions for ODIN:

1. Download ODIN on your computer (just do a google search to find it...version 3.07 will work fine). http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2189539

2. Power off the device.

3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).

4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.

5. Start the ODIN exe program.

6. Un-checking Auto Reboot.

7. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).

8. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash.

9. Hit "START"

10. Restart to recovery mode to verify it works (Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

If it doesn't boot into recovery:

Please reboot into android (hold power until it reboots) and send me the last_kmsg. See my thread about ADB in the General section for instructions.

To get the last_kmsg with adb use: adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.txt

That did not work either...something is different, or I'm missing something. I attached the error message from Odin. Maybe the bootloader is locked on AT&T...

I used the Sprint stock recovery and kernel source files. If it is going to work at all, it will be for the Sprint version.

We're on to something brother, it booted to CWM. I didn't try any functions other than to go into advanced and scroll up and down and then I went back and rebooted. I used the 3rd choice btw.

The true test will be to try and flash something? I just went in and wiped dalvik and it worked. The recovery is a little dim and appears in tablet mode. This is my first tablet so maybe it isn't suppose to rotate upright.

It will only be in landscape mode.

still having problems with the odin/recovery process

1) I do have USB Debugging turned on.

2) I did use that KingoApp.com page, rooted, and used root check and it confirmed my device was rooted.

3) I follow all of the instructions for the Odin/TWRP install, and everything seems to work fine, until it reaches the screen "Recovery Booting..." with the Samsung logo. It just stays on that screen and never moves on. I take my finger off the power button, but still hold Home and Volume UP, but nothing. Even if I take my fingers off all the buttons nothing happens, it just stays on that screen. (I've held the Home and Volume UP buttons for at least a minute, probably longer, multiple times.)

I tried using this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515598 - but the install instructions say

"Must have a Custom recovery installed

Download annd copy to your tablet and flash in recovery"

And I don't think I have a custom recovery installed, and I can't flash it in recovery since I can't get to recovery?

Edit: I'm having the same problem as this guy in the other thread - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47331590&postcount=105

Namely, after uploading the tar file, the video instructions say I should reboot (power/home/volume up), but when I do that, it just turns off the screen. So then I try the power/home/volume up from a blank screen, and that's where it loads starts up in "Booting Recovery...." with the Samsung logo. I'm not getting that direct reboot like the video shows.

I also have a iLoome ScreenMate Flexible glas screen protector on the phone and the case does not affect it at all.

I meant to post pictures a while ago when I got the case, but I procrastinated. I believe I recieved my shipment on the 7th of October. I got around to taking pictures today along with the Spigen Crystal Protector i received on the same day as the case.

These are the only two Spigen items I ordered that arrived in a respectable time frame, although they were still late. I am still waiting for my Slim armor and Neo Hybrid cases that were suppose to ship on the 7th of October and have yet to show any movement on tracking I was sent on the 12th. My Glas tR hasn't posted as shipped yet either. When I get my Nexus 5, I will avoid Spigen in retaliation for this horrible experience.

The two products I received are flawless and durable. 5 star product rating. The case and protector still look perfect and scratch free for the 10 plus days they have been installed. Both are excellent products backed by horrible service and deceptive practices.
