[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Greaper88:
I took a little time playing around with Heimdall. It's....... different.

I have taken the time to simplify some of the steps for everyone, and built the required file myself.

I used TWRP 2.8.0.0 "img" file from their website. All development credit go to TeamWin, I've just converted it to the proper file format for Heimdall.

edit: The file use is actually a port to the Tab 3 by gr8nole. I was wrong about a couple of things. So, credit goes to TeamWin for original dev, and to gr8nole for porting it to the Tab 3 for us :)

Before reading farther, please remember:

ALL FLASHING IS DONE AT ONE's OWN RISK, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE.

Please take adequate precautions to be able to recover your device from a soft brick.

This method is for KitKat users.

I used the Pit mapping for the T210. The recovery partition is "mmcblk0p10." I checked the partition info on my T210R using Partition Table by Lakshman. The T210R also has its Recovery partition on "mmcblk0p10," so I expect it to work no problem. And TWRP Odin flashables tend to be compatible with several 7.0 variants.

1. Open Heimdall. Reboot your device into download mode (power+volume down+home, then volume up).

2. Attach tablet to computer.

3. Select "Load Package" tab if it isn't already.

4. Click the "Browse" button under "Heimdall Firmware Package."

5. Select the ".tar.gz" file attached to this thread.

6. Click "Load/Customize." This will jump you to the "Flash" Tab.

7. Make sure that the "Repartition" check-box is unselected.

8. Click "Flash."

9. After flashing, reboot into your new recovery and install SuperSU and BusyBox.

As of this point, I have not been able to test this. I hope it goes well for anyone who tries it :)

Update:

As of now, I have been able to test this file on my own T210R. I already had this version of TWRP installed, so can't confirm actual update, but Heimdall said it flashed, and it didn't brick it, so I'd say good to go! (Take appropriate precautions anyways, because you never know what will happen.)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] xaueious:
Worked well, thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gr8nole:
You say you took TWRP from TeamWin's website? Can you show me that, because I'm pretty sure they don't support this device.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Greaper88:
Maybe not their official website... oops.

The file I used you've uploaded... my mistake, thought you were part of their project.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] xaueious:
Well the TWRP image file worked well enough for me... Either way...

I think this is the main way to root the T210(R) if updated to KitKat. Since it is quite possible that it's the last update it's ever going to see, I'd say it's good time to root it now and put Xposed on it for good measure.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Greaper88:
This version of TWRP is still compatible with JellyBean. I restored and booted my stock OS using this flash. And this is the same method that I had used to root before the update. (using Odin rather than Heimdall though.)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mknrls:
[MENTION=6116422]Greaper88[/MENTION] did you test other files to confirm that functionality is working well (just curious) ?

Heimdall is interesting tool but i haven't tested it myself.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Greaper88:
Do you mean other Heimdall installer files?

I've not tested other files as I've only messed with my Tab 3, and any flash files have to be built from a raw ".img" (image) file and the device's PIT (Partition Information Table). This presents challenges that I haven't tried to overcome.

I saw a request somewhere in another thread for a walkthrough on rooting the Tab 3 with Heimdall, and I figured out and posted this since it was only the recovery, and that much was actually somewhat easy.

My idea was, if you get custom recovery, you can then install your choice of ROM. Although I don't know if there is a TWRP flashable stock KK ROM yet...

I'm confident that the method in this thread for mentioned devices works based on my own flash and on "xaueious'" posts.

To port this method to other devices, one just needs the device's PIT and the recovery image file, "recovery.img" for example in order to build a flash file. The process is actually easy once you know how.

Full ROMs would be more difficult I think because there are other files besides ".img" files that have to be written to the flash, and a XML file has to be built as well to handle all of that. I haven't had time to mess with all of that...
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] mknrls:
Thx for the info mate. Going test this out.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Isis111:
I'm lost, I was working on my hubby's tablet and somehow the backup I made got wiped when I tried to Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 WiFi SM-T210/T210R Performance Upgrade MOD. I'm assuming that it doesn't work under KitKat as I was running TranchidaKat v2.2 [4.4.2 SM-T210/R Rom. Anyway whatever I did no matter what I wipe I keep getting one error from Odin, ""can't mount ES' I'd sure appreciate a hand on this thing if your around. I've been trying to run Heimdall but it always fails in Odin. What really confused me on your directions is you saying to open the package and select Load the Package. I'm not sure exactly what that means but I have Odin 3.07 through 3.10 and I don't see anything like that, could you clarify. I can load the regular 2.8 TWRP using the img file that has nothing to do with Heimdall so I can get into recovery but that's where I'm stuck. Any thoughts???

Krissy
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Greaper88:
Odin is leaked Samsung Software. Heimdall is an open source substitute, and is not related to Odin. Heimdall requires the TWRP file posted in the OP in this thread to work, but it will not work in Odin.

If you have a custom recovery installed that you can boot into, check out:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/rom-stock-sm-t210r-4-1-2-jellybean-twrp-t2951850

If you've lost your backup files, then these ones might work for you unless the device flash has been overly corrupted.

If that doesn't work, check out:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/tab-3-7-0-sm-t210-r-stock-4-4-2-kitkat-t2930075

That's intended to be flashed directly from Odin, and will make the device stock KitKat.

I then like to use the Werewolf Kernel, since it overclocks the Tablet and improves overall speed that way.

Other thoughts: have you tried another USB cable/port? I've had similar errors simply because Odin didn't like my USB cable, or the USB port I was connected to.
[LG Optimus G Pro] tomtom-m:
Hey guys,

Since 6 months i'm the happy owner of a optimus g pro(e986). LG just released their G Watch R and i really want to buy it. Unfortunately my e986 still runs android 4.1.2 (android wear requires at least 4.3). Their is no FOTA update yet. Rooting may be an option but i don't really like it. In the US and Korea the optimus g pro is running 4.4. Is there a way i can (without rooting) flash a US / Korean rom?

thanks in advance

hello

So since I'm new to Android as of this fall I have some questions regarding this rom :)

If I ever want to get back my LG "OS", is that possible once I moved to stock Android?

Can I update a stock Rom like this once new updates are out?

Any way to backup my data before I restore everything?

Thank you for your time and I will be sure to donate to show my support :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossonero82:
This is a stock LG OS Lollipop version, what you're thinking about is a vanilla Lollipop version by Google and that one we don't have yet for the LG G3.

I don't know about updates though either, I'm curious about it myself.

If you want to install this then you need to be rooted and you need to have TWRP, which is a custom recovery, installed. Once you have that, you can backup with TWRP.

Take a look here for root: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/root-root-lg-g3-easily-purpledrake-lite-t2821000

and here for TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614

You should read up on root and custom recoveries a little bit so you understand the risks, but if you just follow the instructions closely then there should not be any problems but you never know. So be prepared to take the risk first before doing this.

If you don't care about root then there is another way that you can read about here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/kdz-lollipop-5-0-v20a-final-kdz-beta-t2935610 but then know that you maybe won't ever have root if you install this.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossonero82:

Hey

Thank you, I'm rooted on my LG so that's good :) but why would I want this rom instead of updating when it's officially released? Should I wait for vanilla android? Thank you :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossonero82:
You would want this if you are impatient as most of us here :D Otherwise you could just wait and remember not to install any updates before people here have checked it if it's rootable or not.

AOSP roms are based on vanilla Android and if you like how vanilla looks then you could wait. AOSP roms should be here soon, I think many people would want to see them on the G3. If the ROMs are bumped then it's easy to change between ROMs if you don't mind restoring your apps every time :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhayun:
as i can see in TWRP: "Factory Reset wipes Data, Cache and Dalvik so its not wipe system.. am i correct?

Oh I missed that... sorry.

Did you try to check your SD Card filesystem? You can do so with windows (card reader req) or with android.

Be aware that data may get lost. Backup it!

I'm not sure of this works for you... maybe you won't get access to these commands w/o root.

You could try it in recovery.

Change "/dev/block/nandk" to your path

root@android:/ # mount | grep -i sdcard
/dev/block/nandk /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0

root@android:/ # /system/bin/fsck_msdos -y /dev/block/nandk
