Restoring Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 and Adding TWRP with Root

[droidvoider]

This is my post basically backing up files for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 "p4noterf" so we don't lose them later.

Restore factory fimeware
If you have crashed out your Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 and need to restore it try the following
1. First make sure you can enter download mode: Power + Vol. Down and then Vol. Up to continue (Google if unclear)
2. Download the latest factory firmware (N8013UEUCOI1_N8013XARCOI1_XAR) here:
https://mega.nz/#F!UdFwWLyL!006TWe3MPyK-9yeAJlH7AQ
3. We need it unzipped so unzip it.
4. Download Odin such as Odin 3.13.1 here: https://mega.nz/#!wZ9H1ArK!TLiWdY9YUKNzVpnVXuqzJz4rtA86XysGlmFfdWl5LvE
5. Unzip Odin and click it to start it up. It's the file named Odin3 v3.13.1 (or Odin3 v3.13.1.exe)
6. With your tablet in download mode plug it into your computer, it should show up in Odin
(If it won't connect to PC try another USB port or install the drivers: https://mega.nz/#!lFMVDbSC!j_sMAjcXneHSPkqgOysc382dqVzNB82QP5T_Huet8YA )
7. Load the unzipped firmware into the AP slot and press start

Install TWRP
1. Through Google Play store Install TWRP app and either select your device, download files and flash firmware in the app or continue at step 2 after installing.
2. You can direct download latest versoin to your sdcard (Download folder will do): https://dl.twrp.me/n801x/
Backup of latest at the time of this writing was ===> https://mega.nz/#F!EYlXCQhB!fTx37McGKNCWXkumldtHLA
3. Inside the TWRP app select the file you downloaded
4. Flash firmware

You can now use TWRP to install a custom rom if you wish, I used CM 13.1

1. On the WiFi screen in the bottom corner there's a little keyboard symbol, touch it to open option.
2. Move slider to On position

Thank you for this! Made sure to save those files while I still can. Was able to restore, root and install Lineage OS 14.1 on this old Note 10.1 I inherited. Truly amazing to jump from Jellybean straight to Nougat when Samsung couldn't have cared less to update this tablet.

Cm 14.1 sidesync 4.7 on samsung gt-n8013 not working

Does anyone have any luck getting the Sidesync to work with Wifi Direct from the Samsung Note 10.1 Gt-N8013 Android 7.1 to the Android 8.1 Samsung S8 Phone. Trying to Get the Mirror Feature to Remote Control the Phone on the Tablet Screen
Can install sidesync and click to run .. app screen opens but than crashes with error message about not being able to mirror. Seems something not communicating with Wifi or hardware on tablet incompadability..??

Firmware V1.0

Your post has nothing to do with this topic .
see your identical post moved to Q&A

When I download the firmware using Odin, where does it get saved? I can't find the file with TWRP when I am ready to flash the firmware.

 

[JJEgan]

Odin does not download firmware.
You download firmware .

Odin is an installer for stock firmware tar files .

TWRP installs custom rom zips .

Not sure if you'll see this but how did this go? I have the n8013 (2013) model and would really like to update it past Jelly Bean. My biggest concern is the S Pen and S Notes still working as well as they do now. Is yours still up and running? Thanks!

SPen etc dont really work on non Samsung firmware .
Suggest a search for alternative spen on play store etc .

I'm trying to fix a bricked Note 10.1 (stuck on a bootloop and can't even access Recovery Mode, TeamWin logo appears and then tablet resets) but everything you linked there is already gone.

I managed to solve same problem by flashing TWRP recovery using heimdall

Ok, I extracted the PIT file from my tablet with Heimdall (like it was suggested in the readme), then I flashed TWRP Recovery and same result... Bootloop, and when trying to access Recovery Mode the TeamWin logo shows up for a second and the tablet reboots. Also tried flashing a stock rom, PhilZ Touch recovery, and still both Odin and Heimdall always say it was "succesful" but the result is always the same, nothing changes.

It's just weird to me how the TeamWin logo still shows up even after I flash the stock rom. I read somewhere that the oldest stock rom for my device might work, but I can't find a link anywhere for it except here, where it's Premium Only...
