As I mention below Pimpdroid 3.0 beta works nice once you repare SU, freeze the Samsung Keyboard and the other three app that are closing. I personally like it.

Now Android 4.4.2 has some issues it self. Nothing to do with Pimpdroid.

So here as 4.4.2 Fixes!

I have not see that problem, but will have a look later.

Please be very careful if you manual change system files. The first time I tried, I did makes old backups and I did leave this file backups inside the directory. Made many test. At some point I my apps lost the ability to see SDCARD. Then I tried a second time been carefully and the fix work without issues (tested 2 days). Please note that below in post #756 by peterson65 he provide us with an Market or xda forum download link for a program that do this automatically.

For manual changes hit Show Content.

Well I found that a simple trick on other devices work partially in Tab3 10.

Add an additional group definition in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, Giving group id = media_rw , permission to "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE".

The result , It will allow all apps to save to External SDCAD. But the apps, at least App Backup & Restore still reported when it boots "No removable storage mounted?". I will say it in another way: It would not detect it as an external SDCARD but will let me read and save any way to the card.

Here is a link to Galaxy Note that describe the fix perfectly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617921

Here are the instructions

I will be looking in a file platform.xml taken from CM10.1 for comparison

Regards CIFS, It is not clear that the current kernel have cifs capability. And I do not find on the web the files: md4.ko, nls_utf8.ko and cifs.ko compiled for 4.4.2 and x86!!! I hate Intel.... .

[MENTION=295756]peterson65[/MENTION]

1) Can you tell me the application that failed to write to SD? I need mos sample of prograsm to test my self. The only one that I have is "App backup & Restore". Thanks

2)Had you tested yourself "nextapp.sdfix" in our Tab3 10 P5210?

To be hones while searching web, I saw that and a few others. Listen do not get mi wrong. But as a rule I try not to installed Apks that make changes to Firmware unless they where build specially for our devices. But Since you tested please let us know if you really did in a P5210 wifi tablet?

Important x86 information we all should be aware: Many and many Apks and "Installation ZIP" will not work or behave weird due to our x86 architecture.

Most Android Java Dalvik programing works. The problem relies if the APKs use Native Machine Code (Linux programs). If we are lucky this problem is overcome due to the magic of Houdini. But I see many APKs that relies in Libraries like Video Codec that failed. This is the reason why MXPlayer have a build just for us x86 devices.

In the other had, Must Recovery ZIP installations relies in a program called update-binary, located in "[Zip Installation]\META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary". Most Zip installations you grab in this forum where build using a update-binary compile just for ARM!!! Again ours is special it is compiled for x86.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] Restl3ss:
You can get a zip designed for arm to install on x86 by swapping out the update-binary. However, it's very important to note that if said zip has ANY libs or ANY frameworks whatsoever it will soft brick your tab, as libs / frameworks are definitely architecture-specific. That's why I released frankenGApps for whenever we get cm11, as the normal pa-gapps has libs / frameworks that are NOT x86 compatible.

[MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] thanks for "Philz Adv CWM 6.55" implementation for TAB3 10. Thanks to Philz/CWM too.

zipping , UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip, I do not who packed it as a ZIP and made the proper adjustment for TAB3 10. Thanks

My expectancy was low with 4.4.2. So many bad comments 4.4.2. But you guys had made a nice procedure to Install/Root.

[MENTION=295756]peterson65[/MENTION]

I tested you proposed Market solution to install plataform.xml by apk on a clean installed. It work as you mention.

To all please note that this trick is not a Full/Complete solution to writing to external SDCARD by OLD/Unsuported programs.

I will expect that there will be many old programs that will not allowed you to write anyway, just because Menus to Read/Write to External SDCARD are kept hidden. It is my impression that it will happens because the program test for the validity of an external SDCARD and fail!.

Some will report that "there is no External SDCARD", but will let you Read/Write by navigating to "/storage/extSdCard"

Some like ES File Explore v1.2.6 will allowed you to operate but will force closure on every action. Yes I know that new version of ES Explore work nice even without mod!! But I used to like old version.

[MENTION=5378432]Restl3ss[/MENTION], [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] and the others working in CM10/CM11 or working as Developers for our Roms. Chainfire wrote in "Is Google blocking apps writing to SD cards ?" Google it. He said "

I have not test this REVELATION, but I think is worth looking. It is possible that creating installations in the form of Signed Recovery Zip and sign those with Samsung latest Ota signature (apps signed with the same key as the platform,I guess the same one use by Restl3ss to install Bindroid) then those Apps will be granted Full Access to External SDCARD!!!!!!! Nice to look at.

But for now I will say that for me Writing to External SDCARD is in acceptable as fixed. Now I need to look in to see How to do CIFS/SAMBA to get to my Wireless Hard-drive to see my movies and files.

Well I downloaded the TWRP flashable Philz and this ROM, flashed Philz, rebooted into recovery, and flashed pimpdroid 3.0. Works nicely, but for some reason I've lost root. I tried flashing the SuperSU root zip to fix it, but it just tells me it can't open the zip, (bad). The SuperSU is meant to be flashed through Philz right? Am I doing something wrong here? I love the ROM but I would really like to have root back... Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] Pator57:
Hi i have a bug, my tablet is an P5210 ( is what i see in system app ), but when i want too flash this rom or another, the twrp recovery tell me that my device is the 3g version, which is absolutely wrong. How to solve this problem please ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] r2d23cpo:
You are write, if you try to run the "SuperSU" installed inside the rom you are ruining it would not let you!!!. That has happens to all of us. Is a behavior of 4.4.2, it has code to prevent us to be rooted!!

Restl3ss knows that, That is why he wrote in that first post:

So instal that link file from recovery to fix.

It is not your fault. The first guy to work in TAB3 10 had a 3G model. Later the guys that rework the Recoveries on the Wifi model just work on top of his work without realizing that the inside description of you TAB was been set to 3G!!

The easy correction to this is to install "Philz Adv CWM 6.55.0" Recovery. from => http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-5-0-gt-p5210-t2830871

Then using Philz Adv CWM 6.55.0 install Pimpdroid Beta. Then there has been others complains, This is normal when we upgrade!!

I strongly recommend you do a Full Backup of your Tab with Philz. Move all your personal data to a Folder in your PC. Be aware that many app will fail to read your Personal data from the External SDCARD in KK 4.4.2. This is a Google issue!!

Then when you are ready to Install Pimpdroid Beta,

1) first save P5210(WiFi) 3.0-2 BETA inside your "EXTERNAL SDCARD"

2) Restart Philz Adv CWM 6.55.0.

3) Select "Wipe and Format"

4) Select "Clean to Install a New Rom", This selection should do it self both "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik/Art Cache". Some people prefer to do manually "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik/Art Cache" it is up to you. Or you can do both.

5)The previous wipes WILL NOT delete you files in the Internal SDCARD, but as you know there are application files there too that in the future will Hunt You by creating troubles when you upgrade!! So I strongly recommend you to erase you Personal data by doing "Wipe User Media". Be safe.

6) Now you can hit go back and select "Install Zip". "Choose zip from /External_sd". navigate to your P5210(WiFi) 3.0-2 BETA and select it.

God save Android OS from Google's new security's manipulations and Samsung new anti-Custom Rom Development Policies.

I downloaded that root fix file, and tried to flash it through recovery, but it's throwing me an error saying it's unable to open the .zip because it's a bad file?
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] r2d23cpo:
You are talking about :

h__p://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip

That is chainfire official site. I doubt there is a problem there.

So I bet you have problem downloading and the file is corrupt. So Try to download it again. Delete the old copy from sdcard, Copy the new downloaded file to sdcard, use Philz recovery to install.

Really thank you for this very helpful Post. I have the 3g model. Can i also flash the Same Philz recovery? I like cwm more then twrp, and before trying the first p5200 Version i would like to change to Philz...
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] r2d23cpo:
This question should go to [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION], he is the one that put that zip together for TAB3 10 WIFI P5210.

Please read => http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-5-0-gt-p5210-t2830871

But this will be my answer to "Can i also flash the Same Philz recovery?"

Yes and no. jijiji

The correct answer is NO. No, because after this Philz installation, the recovery will think you have a WIFI model. Just the Recovery. So What this means, well if you try to install another P5200 Rom Philz will not allowed because it thinks you are WiFI model. This problem Only arise if the new Rom Installation Check for you model before inserting. Most Rom do not do that. Also there are a few update.zip installation that may have similar checkups. But to be honest the first time this type of trouble has happen in our area of the forum was with Pimpdroid, just because Restless did the right thing to add this checkup at the beginning.

Yes you can test this Philz in you P5200 in a 4.2.2, why because to revert this problem you just need only to reinstall your current TWRP or CWM recovery that you currently use. After that TWRP or CWM will know that you are a 3G model. Mean while you can test and feel Philz.

Now the problem is with 4.4.2. This is new and I am not sure if for any weird issue the boot.img will look at the recovery.img!! To be honest this has a probability of almost 0%. But 4.4.2 is a troubled rom and who knows what is in the mind of Google/Samsung?

I suggest you ask [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] to build a version of Philz for your model. It is not hard only some files to change. Just let him know to use particular 3G files inside recovery of the old CWM or TWRP we have been using before his Philz implementation.

Let me put it in a simple way. Before [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] Philz all P5210 owners where using a CWM or TWRP build for P5200 without any issue!

Trandfer it to ta computer , right click , go to properties , and then make changes you want , click on ok and transfer it back to the tab and flash . If this method doesn't works then you have to download the whole zip again ......
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] r2d23cpo:
It is KK 4.4.2, Nothing you can do expect going to market upgrading if available or rating expressing you KK concerned. it will happen with many other apps.

You are screw buddy!!! jijiji Just kidding.

If you do not have an extra SDCARD available you will need to do TWRP Sideload, since you have no system neither. You could always use Download a 1.5gig STOCK KK from Samsung and use Oding and install (Dangerous bootloaders!), then redo all the recovery etc.

Sideload method

A) Test you Rom

1) In you PC make a copy of Pimpdroid-3.0-2(beta)-p5210.zip
2) Decompress and you should see no other zip inside just: ..system, META-INF,recovery etc. decompressing to a PC folder will do a integrity test. if is pass you can at least know that. If it pas delete just what you have done. if not re-download Pimpdroid-3.0-2(beta)-p5210.zip

B) Download Special Sideload drivers

1) SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface Driver v2.9.510.0
h__p://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/driver/drvs/2013/06/20568715_2a22f9943e9161fdd3529fed502f22abb3a82daf.cab
2)Decompress with winrar, winzip or any other to a Folder in Desktop

C) Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot.rar attached and decompress to Desktop

D) Watch this movie ignore the software or the fact is for kindle. We are interested in the procedure

h__p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CivvxcM1PCY

E) To get install the drivers you are going to need to do the following:

1. Click “Start” –> In Search type "Device Manager"-> Select Device Manager
2. Expand the tree in left pane by clicking on System Tools –> Device Manager.
3. In the right pane, expand “Other devices”. You will see a yellow exclamatory mark on the device icon. Right-click on it and select “Properties”.
[IMG="image2"]http://www.dkszone.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/setup_install_ADB_Windows_4.jpg[/IMG]
setup_install_ADB_Windows_4
4. In the following window, click on “Update Driver” button.
5. Select “Browse my computer for driver software” and then select “Let me pick from list of device drivers on my computer”.
6. Click “Next”—>“Have disk”, browse to your driver location on desktop
[IMG="image3"]http://www.dkszone.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/11-17-2010-8-03-12-PM.jpg[/IMG]
7. Click “Next”. Windows will confirm whether to update drivers. Go ahead and click “Yes”.
8. To verify look at Device manager again
[IMG="image4"]http://www.dkszone.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/adb_installed_successfully.jpg[/IMG]

F) Then the easy part

adb sideload Pimpdroid-3.0-2(beta)-p5210.zip

Good luck

Note images from h__p://www.dkszone.net/setup-install-adb-android-debug-bridge-windows-7, you can look at this but I tried to do it simpler

[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] Ideas4ya:
I wouldn't change to CWM. At least TWRP is functional. CWM won't recognize your sd card, nor will it allow you to backup your data in a timely fashion.

Since it's just a rom issue, you may want to have Grievous as a backup rom. I would install it until dev can get the bug worked out of the latest edition. If you're just a die hard fan, you can always download an earlier release. I'm not quite sure as to which would be considered a stable release though.
