This is an all-in-one tool, used to assist with rooting/custom recovery/stock rom/custom rom/bricks
I've made this because, there isn't a tool specifically for the 8" sm-t310 available, and I figured everybody could benefit from it somehow.

--- GalaTab3 Kernel v14.1.6 (thanks to @arshull )
--- CWM Recovery v6.x r#4 (thanks to @emwno )
--- TWRP Recovery v2.5.0.0 r#3 (thanks to @emwno )
--- TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.0 (thanks to @gr8nole )
--- Philz Advanced CWM v6.12.8 (thanks to @Phil3759 )
--- Odin v.3.09
- Flash recovery, stock firmware image
- Read system information
- Run Odin within this app to flash recovery/firmware
- View live logcat
- Supports JDQ39 firmware 4.2.2 (does not currently work with 4.3/4.4!!)
- Perfect for noobs and advanced users

Ok DEV i may need a spoon-full. Fired up the tool and scanned, it worked perfect, tab information showed-up and all buttons lit-up. Didn't try any recovery options cause i'm already rooted but i had been meaning to install galatab3. Clicking on "Get GT3 Kernel" didn't do anything and neither did clicking on "Gala Tab 3" (tools section) took me to the discussion thread but nothing else. Neither option downloaded the file, so is it something I'm doing wrong?

Downloading odin worked like a charm, i didn't try TWRP or CWM since I'm already rooted.

Reboot recovery and reboot system work. i haven't had a need to try any other functions (yet). Oh, one thing i found inconvenient is the tool is always-on-top.

I do believe if you intend for it to a tool for noobs, you do a separate tool for rooting and recovery only, sort of like a one or two click rooting with only one or buttons to click. As it is right now, there are too many options. And also you can really get in that noob mode and it would dawn on you to put in the instruction how to make the developer options show up in the first place LOL Just IMO DEV.

Thank you for all of your feedback @treetop777

When you click "Get GT3 Kernel," it should download the GalaTab3 Kernel right into the same directory as the program itself.
Once it downloads, if you then click the "Copy GT3," it will then copy the Kernel over to /sdcard/ path of the device. From there, you can reboot into recovery and install the zip file of GalaTab3 from the sdcard.

Please try that and let me know how it works for you. I will try to categorize everything better and lay it out easier with your feedback. Thank you :)

NP DEV. Will you put out an update? Cause for sure the version i have DO NOT download the Kernel and also, i don't see the "Copy GT3" you mentioned.

You know, now that i think of it, when i hover over the "Get GT3 Kernel" i get a message about the SD card. Maybe you meant that button to read "COPY GT3 Kernel" ?? If that's the case, then it would have to be moved to the tools section.

But first DEV, it has to download the Kernel which it's not doing right now. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

I have uploaded version 1.0 now, and have fixed the bug in the Kernel download method that I was using.
Please try the new version, and let me know if that fixes your problem(s)! :)

Once you click "Get GT3 Kernel," it will download the kernel zip, and place it into the current directory of the GalaxyTab3_Toolkit, then the button will rename itself to "Copy Kernel." Click that, and it will ask you if you'd like to transfer the kernel zip over to /sdcard/ on the tablet. Click yes, then once it finishes, click Reboot Recovery, and you will be able to install the kernel zip file from there. :)

Worked EXACTLY as expected! Downloaded GT3 then pushed it to the internal storage then rebooted into TWRP. After flashing GT3, rebooted into system and the tab is running smooth. No glitches, no problems. What more can i say - flawless!

It's nice to have all these procedures all in one place.

Thanks!

Great! I am going to work on making everything a bit easier for everyone to understand, thanks to your input!
I'm glad everything worked for you :)

Using it now but why no philz recovery?

Update....
Worked great thanks.
One small issue was having to put the device into download mode manually. I was getting an exception error about no root when I chose the reboot download button.

Once philz was installed, I used his root option and then installed supersu and Staricson busybox using smart install. Device is now rooted and I can start modding.

Thanks !


Small recomendation.. allow for the app to use or not use system proxy. Also, app should have an option to not always be on top. :)

Well, I haven't had the chance to test Philz recovery out just yet, I only included the tools that I have personally tested. :)

I am going to add an option for all of the updated recoveries that support CM10-CM11! Also, I will add an option to allow it to not always be on-top, too!
I will look into the root-required Download Mode reboot, but it would always fail to reboot into Download Mode for me if I didn't run it as SU.. I'll see what I can do to fix it, because I know that it doesn't require root through a regular shell.

Thank you for your feedback!!

I've updated to version 1.1 guys, please check the changelog in the original post for more information!

@gx3k - no, I'm sorry, no support for T311 or T315 yet! I think everything is now good with the T310, so I will start working on the other two now!

@Phil3759 & @gr8nole - I added your recoveries to my project, and have hosted them on my server as well for a direct-download method. If this is a problem at all, please let me know and I will remove them asap! Thank you guys for all of your work :)

    @emwno I tried to contact you in your twrp thread, but never got a response. If you want me to remove cwm & twrp from this program, or my server, please let me know and I will do so! :)
