I have compiled from source TWRP for use with the T310, T311, and T315.

You can view TWRP source changes/updates HERE.

After installing, it will ask you upon leaving TWRP if you want to install TWRP app. Just select "Do Not Install" and uncheck the options and it shouldn't ask anymore.

Click HERE for the latest version.

OTG storage also works and can be used for "backing up to" and "flashing from".

Please report any bugs here in this thread. Be sure to include which device you have.

Please take a moment to say thanks and/or donate to [MENTION=4021423]ketut.kumajaya[/MENTION] for providing us with a working source tree for CM which I used to compile this recovery.

Credits go to:

[MENTION=4021423]ketut.kumajaya[/MENTION] for CM source tree for our devices

and of course the Team Win group

Supplied in 2 formats:

Odin flashable tar.md5 (for first time installation)

.img file (for those who use already have a version of TWRP installed or those who use Flashify or other direct methods).

Instructions for ODIN: (use the one with "tar" in the name)

1. Download ODIN on your computer.

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. See notes about ODIN below. I recommend that you un-check auto-reboot.

6. 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).

7. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash. (Extracted from downloaded .zip.)

8. Hit "START"

9. Wait for device to restart. Skip this step if you unchecked auto reboot in Odin.

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).

After installing, it will ask you upon leaving TWRP if you want to install TWRP app. Just select "Do Not Install" and uncheck the options and it shouldn't ask anymore.

Notes about ODIN

--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.

--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if TWRP doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).

Instructions for flashing the .img:

Boot into your previously installed TWRP recovery.

Select the Install option.

Select "Install Image"; then select the .img file.

Choose "recovery" option.

Flash.

Reboot recovery.

Enjoy your new recovery.

Flash at own risk!!!!

Their github has not been updated since last November. The github "branch" has been showing as 2.7 for months, but was still only 2.6.3.0. Can't update until they release source code.

FINALLY, after 100 trials i got twrp! Enable debug mode(maybe it helps too, odin official site recommends that)

Ah damm shiiit,

i flashed twrp_3.1.1.0 with "official TWRP App" on my rooted T311.

But before i flashed it, i had only CWM installed, not any TWRP Version.

Now i have the problem, that i cant boot in CWM. I can only boot into system.

How can i solve this problem?

The TWRP custom recovery does not seem to support my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T311.

On the official twrp.me website there is only support for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, which unlike mine has a 7 " screen and not an 8" screen, but I don't know if this is also compatible with my device.

Can I try or does the TWRP version have to be specific to my device ?

last part of the version-number only for device-specific changes, e.g. new kernel ;) nothing to do with TWRP itself normally.

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
Just coming back to this...

Even though I stated EFS was listed in mount, it doesn't actually show up to allow you to back it up, went back to v2.6.3.0 and it works perfectly.

Also the EFS partition is still important even to WiFi only devices, it holds MAC info for Bluetooth, WiFi, plus the devices serial & probably other unique information, it even stores how many times a USB cable & headphone jack has been inserted into the device, not sure why but it's there.

Thanks for the speedy build, main features seem to work as expected, restores fine & all mounts are shown etc. :good:

On a smaller note the brightness slider doesn't seem to work, not a major issue since many will do whatever they need to do & leave recovery but thought I'd mention it.

Checked out 2.6.3.0 & 2.7.0.0 to see if it was working in those versions, neither of those have the slider anyway on T310 version I tested.

Small issue here. I installed BinDroid rom yesterday and updated my twrp today and something happened to my data partition.

The size for the data partition is shown as a 13 digit number which is obviously wrong

* Total size of all data: 7173502812457MB

I attached the twrp log too. My guess is corrupted partition?

If you installed it correctly, when the tab is of press and hold the volume up and press the power button until the boot logo appears and then let go of the volume up and the power button. It should then boot into recovery mode.

[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
In regards to TWRP 2.8.0.0,

I just compiled it, but the MTP feature does not work. It appears that TWRP is setting up an MTP connection, but it is not recognized correctly by the PC. This seems to be an issue with many devices right now.

Also, since the MTP feature is enabled by default on boot into recovery, it prevents adb commands from working until it is toggled by the user.

I think I will hold off releasing for a little longer to see if they come up with a fix.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Android-Andi:
2.8.0.0 not working verry well on Tab 2. Best TWRP have been 2.6.3 compiled in January.

On 2.8 also sometimes TWRP seems to crash ui sometimes - touch not working correctly then. meight be related to MTP changes. Happened to me after wipeing everything Incl. Internal storage. Also reported by some user.

Thanks! The problem I'm running into is that there is no U.S KitKat Stock firmware on sammobile.com. Canada seems to be the closest. I tried an older U.S firmware and I get an "invalid magic string" error. I'll probably try the Canadian firmware since I can always go back to TWRP if it doesn't work.
