Ah fiddlesticks. I have no why that happens. Truly upsetting. Did you go to mount and tick the box for system? If it doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you other than, when I went to cwm and back to twrp it magically started working again.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Yeah I tried the checkbox, still nothing, I guess for now I'm just gonna have to deal without nands
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adamlee011:
This really is shaping up to be kind of a ridiculous device. Might be time for a nexus. :p
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Yeah Samsung really screwed up this time around, but i can't see buying a nexus, love the device, but I need expandable memory, this is the only Samsung device I've had these kinds of problems with
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] graffix31:
Just get a meenova. Don't need a SD slot on board. Can have one in your keys. I was Samsung all the way but after having a nexus 5 it all take something crazy to get me to get me back. I have this because it was free.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Never heard of those, that's really awesome, that's kind makes me reconsider my tablet choice, but then again i didn't really choose as i got this for free
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adamlee011:
Lol. We all got it free.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
I managed to get twrp working right with a different version that I found in another forum, got a cm nandroid to work, still haven't tested a stock one yet
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adamlee011:
I made one of stock after I rooted and it was running fine. When I restored though, it was all sketchy. Titanium wouldn't restore apps and I don't remember what other bs. Gave up. I don't need that crap anyway. I'm blessed with no flicker. :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
I'm staying on cm, I have the flicker but I'm willing to deal with it until it's sorted out, I just want a working stock backup for prl/profile updates, and other various Reasons
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adamlee011:
Ah. I see. I'll never need that either. If I need data, I'll tether. But then, it almost never leaves the house and if it does, I'm reading ebooks whichi have stored locally. Besides, what could I possibly do with it that I can't do with my m8? :D
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
That's true, my gs3 does everything I'd need as far as data but I always have tab me in case it dies
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Babysquare:
Hi all, I just wanted to tell you that I flashed Cm11 5/24 build using Twrp and I haven't had any of the flickering issues everyone has been talking about. Yesterday, prior to flashing cm11, I restored my tab to stock 4.1, coming from Goodness rom, so that I could take the OTA update and take my tab up to stock 4.4.2. I then rerooted and installed latest version of twrp. I then booted into recovery, made a nandroid, then full factory reset and additional wipe of cache and davlic cache. From there I flashed 5/24 build of Cm11 and then flashed Gapps. I then did an additional wipe off my cache and davlic before rebooting. Everything booted up just fine and as of today still no flickering. I just now repeated the exact same process with my boyfriends Tab 3 with the same results. I hope this will be helpful to someone.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
How long have you and your bf had your devices? What were the original basebands? Cause if what I infer is correct, your devices weren't shipped with the nb8 baseband, which would support the theory of certain devices having different hardware based on date of manufacture, I only assume this because you aren't having the flickering issue. Either way, I'd like to test this method, what did you use to root once you were on stock 4.4.2?

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Also are you using the version of twrp from this post?

Sorry to keep blowing up this thread, but I just odin flashed back to stock, but now it's telling me device is modified and i can't receive updates, this never happened before, did i screw something up?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
I had flickering too with nb8 on cm 11 but when I restored to stock and upgraded to ne7 official 4.4.2 and flashed cm 11 the flickering was gone
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Well now I need to figure out how to get the ota then, cause for some reason is saying my device is modified even though I Odin flashed back to stock
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
What you have to do is wipe it like three times then....you have to manufacturer reset the device....you'll have to call Sprint and tell them you are having trouble with the hands free activation...(even if you aren't) Tenn then you need the calculator code and then they should walk you through it...they will give you you mdn # and the device will rest back to completely stock.....just don't try to flash back to nb8....after the ota...it will fail....must be a new bootloader....then flash cmw.....twrp don't flash....and use it to flash cm11......camera doesn't work but everything else seems alright.. we'll have to wait for sammobile to release ne7 to flash back to stock from here...my experience...hope it helps
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
Check it
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Alright, I'll try that, just one question though, for some reason, the boot logo that is on the stock Rom I have is different than one that came on my device, it's still a sprint boot logo, and it's the same baseband, and build number as it came with, could the stock Rom I'm using be the problem?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
Possible...but I lost baseband and software version and the only way I got it back was from that beautiful cmw backup I made when I initially flashed recovery......I recommend that to be step 2 after flashing recovery.......before flashing anything else
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
I did as soon as i flashed cwm, but the backup got stuck at the sprint logo
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
Boot into recovery again and wipe
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] fsunoles101:
No need to.....Samsung posted the firmware for the update today. Just use Odin. Profit. Good. I downloaded it today.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
Sweet!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] montecarlo5:
the way i got mine to work was,,, did a backup first, reboot tab and opened supersu-settings- scroll down to full unroot, let it do its thing. once done reboot into recovery, wipe everything but the sd cards, format data. reboot tab into download mode. open Odin 3.07 as administrator click pda and select stock rom, make sure auto reset and f.reset time are checked. click start let it finish and when tab starts back up just put in your wifi info, restart tab, go into settings-system update. now it should find the update and start downloading. when all is done, setup your tab and enjoy. oh, and to be on the safe side, copy stuff from your sd cards to your computer before doing anything, i lost everything on my internal sd card, not sure if was the update though.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
I love you
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
So I flashed this, and it updated to 4.4.2, but I still have nb8 baseband

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

And my WiFi is broken
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] fsunoles101:
Try doing a complete wipe of the tablet. System, data, both caches. Then go into download mode. Make sure you are using the latest version of Odin 3.09. The latest version of Odin might just be the problem. I wiped everything today and then installed it. Everything is up and running fine. Trying to deodex the stock rom right now. Just make sure in 3.09 you use the AP slot the same as the PDA slot in previous versions.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
I did all of that, plus a bunch of other things I thought might work, nothing worked, no WiFi, still on nb8, I tried to flash the version of cwm from an older version I flashed and it got stuck on the recovery booting screen also, which was confusing, anyway I flashed the stock nb8 rom and it's back to normal, I'm just so confused as to why my baseband didn't update when I updated to stock 4.4.2

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

Edit, after flashing stock nb8, the ota worked, gonna try cm in the morning
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
So I attempted to install cm, and still had the flicker
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
You're on ne7? You might have to do the manufacturers reset I posted earlier...but you need the calculator code...it starts with (+30012012732+......then it switches to factory mode where you need to type ##786# then you'll need the device msl which you can get from Sprint...then there will be an option to reset device but you'll need to be completely stock with stock recovery to do it...but it fixed everything on mine...I had no data connection or Wi-Fi...and I did everything I could....so I called Sprint. Then I updated to ne7, flashed cw, backed up, flashed cm11 and no more flicker.... try it on yours, maybe it'll work.

Here's the link........... https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/160050
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Temeriki:
Is anyone here running stock 4.4.2 rooted, I cant get mine to stick

edit: worked fine after installing teh zip from twrp (didnt work on cwm)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] deciple:
If you flash cwm then flash the supersu zip.....it should stick.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Okay, I managed to fix my WiFi issue, but I'll try this method tomorrow when i have more time
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Temeriki:
It worked wonders for me, plus now i have my msl code
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Did you initially have the flickering issue with cm?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] MF Bada$$:
Can i ask how did you fix you're wifi issue i'm still trying to fix mine

edit: nevermind i got it going
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] adamlee011:
Is there something wrong with the alarms since a certain build? I use a 3rd party alarm app but it worked fine until a certain point. Only thing I can think of is at some point I updated to the last cm build. Idk if that's when it stopped working. Alarms just don't go off anymore.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mp54u:
I tried the factory reset with my msl and installed ne7 multiple times. Eventually my wifi worked and baseband updated, but than I tried cm11 and still have flickering issues. So, either it is an issue with hardware version or some other common denominator for those of us with issues. I hope someone can figure this one out.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
I can say its not baseband causing the flicker. Tried nb8 before I went to ne7 without flicker.

Just a random thought....anyone with the flickering, do you have the white tab 3?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
I have 2 black ones and they definitely are not refurbs. I had the flicker on NB8 and actually both of these Tabs I got I didn't have the Sprint boot animation which (thanks to the person who posted the link) that was the reason I was stuck. I am now on NE7 and I want to give CM another go because overall (system apps all odexed, features seem to be working better) I hope I have the good luck and the flicker disappears. Honestly though, the whole setup that came on the 2 I got were just odd. I remember posting that only half of the apps were odexed and I had no Sprint stuff out of the box. I tried to pull out some bloat and now my LTE isn't connecting.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
I just haven't had it. I wanna say all this flicker is just differences in hardware, I noticed sprint had two variants in android to choose (white and black) but I guess its just sprint making things more complicated lol.

The best thing I can tell you about the no LTE thing Odin back, and use titanium backup to freeze before you uninstall so you can check if it'll have a problem first.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Actually I did a little digging and I discovered something..... I got the other Tab for my mother and both of us have had data DISABLED in settings so we could be positive that we didn't have overages. Well, I have used Maybe 35MB of my 250MB allowed and my mother a total of 4MB yet my last two bills show us going well over......and I had tech support make my data disable when I hit my limit. Well I haven't even gotten near the limit so keep an eye on your statements because something strange is going on.

Oh I have been trying different apps and surprisingly the Google Camera I pushed to system/app actually works on Touchwiz...., minus Photosphere and Panorama though. I am using all of the latest beta versions from Team Blackouts Paid version of the app and I am really liking the latest updates for Netflix and iHeartRadio. Iheart let's you build stations like Pandora. In fact, I tried almost every app they have and it just makes Settings torture me even more?

Why was it possible for the S4 do get De-Knoxed but this Tab has to be such a beeeeeaatch even to deodex? OK hopefully my nands will restore before I try out CM but I have a theme to test for djdarkknight and I want to see it on a bigger screen. Wish me luck....edit...I read the last 2 pages and the success rates seem much worse than that thread I got linked to. Hmmmm...decisions
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Digging the theme but still tw is not for me. As far as de-knoxing and all that, I think its just lack of devs and the ones we do have are working on other devices as well.

Samsung is going down hill like apple soon, and HTC and lg are gonna be bigger next couple years till something better comes along
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Yeah I can't wait to go to the CES show in Vegas in January. I got in trouble taking pictures of new devices a few years ago but I can't wait to see what they show up with this year....I can get free passes and people always flake out at the last minute. It takes a few days just to find where everything is!

How good is the cm11 rom?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
Aside from the flickering (in some cases), and the camera not working, it's pretty solid, a little buggy times, but totally tolerable if you just can't stand touchwiz
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] reinaldistic:
The cameras don't seem to be working for me, will rehash and retry
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] jmkendrick:
You're kidding right? Mine are working as good as they were after I put this rom on lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Its a known bug. Also, GPS isn't working all that well either, but its tolerable.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mp54u:
Yes, mine is the white one....

I left it at home, Afterwork, I can get more info from the tablet, letft it home darnnit.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] reinaldistic:
So is gps and camera being worked or is this Rom dead?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
The dev isn't working on it right now AFAIK
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] golpeen420:
That's not the issue, I have the flicker and mine is black
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Its not the baseband either cause I've tried them all without flicker. I doubt sprint had an 8gig model unless Google is wrong.

I mean, how bad is this flicker? Is it in low light, and only in white spots? Cause that's normal even on touchwiz. Does it look like its spazing out and ready to spew glass in your eye from exploding? I really wanna say Samsung switched screens in production but can't verify cause we all gotta take the main board off and I don't even feel like doing that lol.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Well, I had to get the NE7 firmware and Odin flash back to stock after trying the CM and still having the flicker. My nandroid backup said it restored properly but something in the system wasn't right (probably because of Knox) but I finally put together a zip of all of the Convolver effects I have for Viper4Android v2.3.3.0 (also work on older versions as well) so as well as the BIG sound boost you get, there are 175 different effects you can experiment with to enhance the sound to your liking. If you have already installed Viper4Android you will notice a Viper4Android folder in your sdcard folder. Inside there is a Kernel folder. All you have to do is extract this zip and copy all effects to the kernel folder and you're done. Just tap Impulse Response for the list of options you added. I attched some screenshots of some examples of the choices. Some sound great and others are novelty type effects so its trial and error to find your favorite. Enjoy, John.

twrp problem

just a sidenote, I flashed the version of TWRP from the OP link, and it refused to mount system. had to reflash another version with ODIN and now im doing fine. just flashed CM and gonna play with it for a while then try Carbon. Thanks so much for this ROM! I'm sure ANYTHING will be better than stock. and im just so happy to be able to go flash crazy with this device. thanks thanks thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] reinaldistic:
Does carbon have the same bugs as cm?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] GAPO:
I am down to test if anyone needs it. I just rooted my sm-t217s using Towelroot and I stalled TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] bryguy9021:
i just got this for free at the sprint store and got it rooted with twrp but i am in shock i cant find any roms for it! only these 2 which flashes the screen on me in a seizure inducing way lol. a start i guess but this thing is a year old. so wth...anyone got any success stories? any dev still going on? and is there anything to be done to help?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Welcome to ROM purgatory. Nobody has De-Knoxed the last 2 updates so its either stock with a bunch of Xposed mods or the CM or Carbon builds. Unfortunately you get the flicker like I do so for the time being its stock. Actually you can possibly get the MH9 firmware and Odin back and run Mijjah's Goodness ROM but Knox may mess with the bootloader even using Odin

Well, as it happens, last night I got data working. Not super stable, there's an ssl error I need to deal with, but it's getting to be prime time lovers!

liquidsmoke, I think it's time...

If you have an ATT or Tmo version please find me on the internetz so we can get you all situated. This might get official by the end of April at this rate. The kernel is already ready to be merged even. But, I'd like to get unified builds working before I hit up the big wheels. Cheers and out yo!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] :
Well I don't have anything but the Sprint T217S. But I am glad to help in any way I can. I can get a Mint VM up and running whenever for development. I'm extremely new at this whole ROM dev thing. Just did some fancy porting really. Psycho CM (Samsung Fascinate (VZW), Galaxy Nexus (VZW), Incredible 2 (TMO), and I had an unreleased 10.2 version I was working on for Optimus G (SPR), and Galaxy S3 (VZW).

Though if I had someone to kinda show me the ropes on ACTUAL development I catch on quickly. Then I could really help you with this project, maybe others. Giving credit where its due of course. But yeah I'm ready to jump in this rabbit hole anytime, I would love to know just how fun this can be.

How can an SM-T211 owner help? :)

Wow finally some legitimate news about Cyanogenmod on Samsung Tab 3! :D. I'm from India and own a Samsung Tab 3 SM-T211 (the version that has 3G capability). Received it as an award (would never buy a TouchWiz device with my money).

I'm fairly well to do with gadgets and would love to contribute to your development of CM11 for Tab 3. Please let me know what info you'd require and I'll try my best! Do you have a scheduled time for the IRC chats? How can I find you there?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Changed the DPI and got rid of some graphical issues. Not running so bad but first hour of instal
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] interloper:
I was messing with the DPI too, but things were just so big. I think I went to 240. Also, dpac90, I'll need some files and info from your device. Email/hangouts is the most reliable way to contact me to start, then we can set something up. I work on a Japanese GS3 also so I'm used to keeping odd hours.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
I set 120. Perfect for the screen res. As far as the ROM. YouTube wasn't watchable, and couldn't connect to 5g WiFi at home which broke it for me.

All in all, no errors in my run, didn't lag unless user error on my part. Almost a daily actually. Keep it up and thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] saramon:
Going through the initial setup now, but I don't see another reason to switch back, daily driver for me, lte and wifi works fine, can't wait for Carbon

I'll also note both YouTube or mx player are not functional, disabling hardware overlays had no affect, graphical issues, I'm sure they will be sorted out soon. Would rather have audio working first though.

Great work
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] :
Sorry. Been messing with my new (old) Nexus 7 for awhile. I will be returning to the Tab 3 7.0 in a day or two. Trying to wait for the CM11 M4 to see what I can do with that. But after that I'll be all over this again cause then I don't have to worry if I brick it or anything cause its no longer my main device
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
I've always found it impossible to brick any android, Samsung being the easiest to unbrick.

I'd love to get this ROM tho, I'd help but life is to much already. But I'd understand this device really sucks IMO. Just wanted a data tablet instead of connecting to a hotspot and wifi
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] interloper:
New build is up (uploading anyway). Not much new. Been working on another device or two. MX- player works for me. Can someone install the youtube app and let me know. Still no camera.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] saramon:
YouTube is working now, some of the graphical issues seem to be taken care of, thank you for the update

Had a rather strange issue where my battery level was stuck at 100 percent, I'll see if the update helps

Audio still breaks when headphones are connected, also the home button stops working, and as you mentioned, no camera
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
I guess liquid blew a lot of smoke on you to get this to work lol.

I got touchwiz to look like cm11 using xblast for closed, and a little hint of slimkat that's running on my s3.

Good job where you got on this, from what I read they couldn't even get cm10.1 to boot properly on the other tab 3's. Have to say, you seem good, maybe you should just mod touchwiz and see what you can do. Like port M.O.A.R. A lot of options in that one.

death by device

care to share your settings to make that happen? that would be perfect. :good:
