Thank You.

All works properly! :good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] adriansimo:
It works for me.

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] godh3ll:
only worked with external sd attached....without it, the recovery cannot read internal sdcard...cmiiw...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Not true...your internal SDcard is mounted as "/data/media". Navigate to that folder and you will find everything on your internal card. You will have to hit the "Up one level" button to find it.

EDIT: I will add a note to the OP about this.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] godh3ll:
Yup my mistaken...the zip was there in media folder..

Off course, I flashed the only ROM for T211, infamous combined with black hawk kernel..
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] jetboss:
you did how does this rom work any performance improvements any issues .. i want to flash it myself
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] godh3ll:
Didnt test all the function yet...but stable for daily use, still laggy sometimes, I wonder when we got official 4.2 or skip to 4.4? Anyhow, just test the rom yourself based on cuŕiosity..
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] jetboss:
might just have to do that well from seeing the requirements on kit kat i believe we will get an official update but when i dont know Samsung kinda slow when releasing updates so just hoping some devs do something soon

Try booting back into download mode and try again. If that doesn't work, download your whole firmware from sammobile.computer and flash it with Odin.

many thanks sir.

i have done to root my device.

the problem is my windows xp.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Bogeyof:
Works! Many thanks!

Installed without problems, but Backup is only for /system /data and /boot. All other partitions are ignored, even they are checked. Even system / data /boot are unchecked and others checked, allways system / data / boot will be backed up...

Would like to backup /efs !!! (/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 I think...)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
efs is listed in the fstab, so that seems like an issue with the recovery itself (meaning I don't know how to fix that, sorry).

If you can send me the cache/recovery/last_log, I can try to figure it out.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Bogeyof:
Thank you! LOG attached...

May be a useless hint, with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=de (Online Nandroid Backup), its possible to backup efs and recovery also (in TWRP Style). But I´m not sure how to restore it in worst case (cause if phone doesnt boot, with present TWRP recovery it wont restore it, I think)...

Edit: Another hint: It is completly useless to check or uncheck any partition, it will allways backup the same 3 partitions, /data /system and /boot
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
According to the log, it is mounting the efs partition correctly, so it looks like the recovery binary is working properly (to backup efs).
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Bogeyof:
Also in the log u can see, it backups only 3 partitions:

I:Calculating backup details...

* Total number of partitions to back up: 3

* Total size of all data: 2853MB

* Available space: 6402MB

All possible partitions were checked, but these settings were ignored. Also if u uncheck all partition for backup, it will backup these three partitions. There must be an issue in transfering settings to backup process...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Give this one a try and let me know if it works. This is TWRP 2.6.3.0. You can flash this zip in recovery. Then reboot recovery to test.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Bogeyof:
Again Thanks! Installed and tested:

- Installation ok, booting and seems ok

- Tried Backup, here only 5 Partitions to choose (no efs listed, I checked all listed Partitions for testing), but real Backup has only 3 Partitions (as before). For example, checked Partition Recovery, but no backup of Recovery made... As I said, in this version, efs Partition cant be choosen, not listed...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Ok, I think I figured it out..flash back to the original TWRP from the OP. Then go to the backup page and select the partitions you want to backup; THEN REBOOT RECOVERY (before backing up). Then go back and make your backup. It seems the recovery only reads the settings file (.twrps) on bootup. Let me know if it backs up efs this time. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Bogeyof:
OK, I will try again. But I´m sure, I´ve done this already. Every time I reboot in Recovery, all Partition are checked (I dont check them myself, they are checked from last changes) and still it backups only the 3 Partitions. But I will give it another try...

Btw, I´ve done a Backup with Online Nandroid Backup in TWRP-Style, this Backup contains 6 Partitions, efs + recovery + cache included. So I have a working Backup Solution, but I´m not sure how to restore it in worst case, cause I´m not sure if in TWRP recovery the other 3 Partitions would be restored...

EDIT: Tried, was like I said, every time makes a backup of the "Standard" 3 Partition, whatever I check or uncheck...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Try this...Boot to recovery, go to the backup page, uncheck everything except efs. Reboot recovery; then restart back into the system and send me the .twrps file located at /data/media/0/TWRP folder. (or just paste that files contents here for me to see).
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Bogeyof:
May be I described it a liitle bad. I meant, if I checked all Partitions, every time I Reboot in Recovery, they stay checked, but if I run the Backup, only three Partitions would be saved. If I uncheck all Partitions (except efs) and Reboot, all Partitions except efs remain unchecked, but Backup will save again the "Standard" 3 Partitions.

I´ve done how you said, all unchecked except efs, reboot in recovery, in Backup still only efs checked (Backup performs 3 Partitions), reboot system and ... there is no folder /data/media/0...

Rebooted in recovery and looked with filemanager and adb, also no folder like /data/media/0...

Where do u think i could find that file or may be thats the problem, folder doesnt exist ?

Edit: ok found it at /data/media/TWRP (/data/media/0/... sounds logical to me, had it on my LG 4X with Multirom, but not here on my TAB3):

see attachmend...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The tw_backup_list in that settings file is not getting updated correctly. You can open it with a text editor and add efs to the list if you want it to work. I'm still trying to figure out a way to update it correctly.

Make sure you un-check the auto reboot option in Odin. You will need to boot into recovery mode manually when Odin finished flashing.

Flashed the recovery and then flashed the prerooted zip as instructed above. I DO NOT have root access, even though flash was successful. Please advise.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Try to flash the root.zip again and then look for the TWRP option to "Copy log to SD"; do that, then send me the recovery.log if you still don't get root.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] BiG JeW:
Thanks for the quick reply. Where is recovery log located on my device? I just did as you instructed and Titanium Backup still says no root access.

I did a search on my device and located it. Please see below for log.

I original rooted with the other thread for ODIN that gives you pre-rooted stock ROM,. After I flashed that, i was prompted to do a softwarre update and I lost root. SO i try to use this method to get root back. After I installed the software update, SU was still installed on my device, but NO LONGER see root access, I am just trying to get root with this software update.

Currently, I am running Custom TWRP recovery, but no root access with SU installed.

I can get root again if i use the other method with ODIN and Pre-rooted ROM, but I will not have the latest software update. Once i do the update, i loose root.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Usually, those updates won't even install if you aren't completely stock. Not sure what to tell you, maybe try a factory reset and try again, or just try to install a rom that's already rooted.

BUT, I will not have the latest software update. WHEN I did the OTA after flashing the ROM above, it installed and gave me the features of the new update, but i lost root. Yes, you are correct, I was surprised it did the OTA update as well. The only reason i did it in the first place because someone reported it worked, (and it did), but never mentioned losing root. If I use the link above, how can i get the latest OTA update and be rooted?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Try installing the latest CWM. Then boot into recovery and when you attempt to leave recovery it should ask if you want to root. Select yes and see if it works.

Same thing happens when I choose to POwer off the device. It just powers off with no prompt.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
That probably means you already have the su binary installed in xbin. Maybe try updating busybox. Is Titanium Backup the only root app you have tried?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] BiG JeW:
Yes. TB is really the only app I use with root. I can try another app that requires SU permission. How do I update the busybox?

OK, i downloaded ROOT browser and AFONT installer from the play store. Both opened and didnt mention i had NO root access. I am un installing Titanium BAckup and going to try and install a FONT with AFont installer which requires root. BRB

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Update: I installed a font from AFont installer. It shows it installed but after reboot, the font stayed the same and didn't change. The app thinks my device is rooted, because it doesn't prompt me about my device not being rooted. Frustrating.

How can I update SU binary? It asks me Normal or TWRP/CWM? Normal fails and TWRP/CWM reboots into custom recovery but doesn't update. Please advise.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Install Superuser or SuperSu from the play store. You should be able to update within the app.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] BiG JeW:
I just finished fixing this issue. I ended up flashing the pre rooted ROM thread with odin. I lost nothing. I have the latest software still and now root access is working correctly. I tried exactly what you said, but SU was built into the ROM and wouldn't let me remove it. It only let me uninstall the update for SU in the application manager. In any case, all is well now. I have the latest software and root. :).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] TheFstX:
Hy gr8nole,

I have a little question to you. Iam new to the Galaxy Tab World and have a question about rooting.

My model is the T-211 and i would like to root it but will use the stock rom. So, I would to only root my phone. Is this possible? Wich recovery is fitted for this?

You mean this -> T211.TWRP.2.6.1.0v3.recovery.tar.zip??? Is this "recovery" rooted? What is flashable means in the other?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The recovery is not rooted, it allows you to get root by flashing the root.zip also located in the OP. The "flashable" version can be flashed in recovery (but only if you already have a custom recovery installed). It just allows you to easilty switch from CWM to TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] TheFstX:
Wow, thanks for the answer! :good:

That means I need for me the T211.TWRP.2.6.1.0v3.recovery.tar.zip and android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip? Then I can install the recovery from ClockworkMod or Team Win Recovery Project?! Fine.

The root.zip, is this name okay for flashing or must I rename it? The root.zip must copied on the sd or can I flash it with Odin?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Unzip the T211.TWRP.2.6.1.0v3.recovery.tar.zip file and you will have a recovery.tar.md5 file. You use Odin to install that file. Then; when ytou boot to recovery, you can flash the android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip file to get root.

Once you get your custom recovery installed, then (and only then) you can flash a new recovery from within your currently loaded recovery.

Don't forget to uncheck auto reboot in Odin, then manually boot into recovery before rebooting your tab. Just watch the video in THIS post to see how to do it.

On the GNex, the button combo brings you to bootloader, where you can toggle to download mode, recovery, and I think fastboot. Is this not like that at all?

What may be another issue is that I installed a different version of TWRP , TWRP 2.7.0. found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442915

I could not flash anything. So I then flashed your version and it was laggy and could not flash anything else.

I have Odin the latest version multiple of times, uncheck the reboot check bock and still no joy.

I have tried other CWR apps listed here at XDA and still I can not flash anything.

I tried to flash the TWRP 2.6.3 the flash able version. That was found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437219

That version was build for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development > 【Recovery & Root】【T210R & T210】 TWRP 2.6.3.0 [Unofficial]

Maybe that is the source of my problems because I need to install the correct version because I just unboxed my tab 3 10.1 this weekend and I cant flash any roms.

At this point I don't suspect that it has anything to do with your version of TWRP or the way that works.

Please allow me to get my act together and tell me where to do go from here....

I have tried to Rom tool kit, Rom Manager and they are both pushing the flash process towards TWRP flash recover.

I know the files are not corrupt because I have great speeds and can unzip the files after each download to check if anything is broken before I attempt to flash...
