Is TWRP somehow related to power management?
With everything wiped (first 4 options in advanced wipe) I got the following behavior(battery at around 93%):

While starting into TWRP (samsung logo): 700mA
TWRP booted: 550mA
Power cord disconnected and reconnected without touching the system: 450mA (Battery is discharging at this loading current)
After being disconnected for a minuted and then being reconnected(TWRP still on): 510mA
When turned off and un and replugging several times: 550mA, 450mA, 110mA, up to 800mA(system suddenly started all by itself(samsung logo, cause no OS)) and than down to 550 mA again(samsung logo still displayed)

Seems like the usb power signalling is broken there?
Especially the 450 mA smell like the USB 2.0 standard limit of 500mA, but that's just an assumption.

I've got T310 and twrp 3.1.0-0

Ok I upgraded to TWRP 3.1.0-1 and it changed some things regarding the charging current:

Charging current while the system is on: 550-680 mA (double the value in comparison to 3.1.0-0)
Charging current while system is off: 700-900 mA (ramps up to 900 mA and then drops to 700 mA)

Definitely changed to the positive side, system performance while connected to the charger has improved quite a lot, as well.
On the lock screen it displays "Slowly charging" (translated by myself, i've set it to german).

I think I discovered a bug:

When I try to start the system while it is connected to the power plug, it does not start.
It turns the screen on and off, showing an empty battery symbol with a loading symbol placed central in it.

When I unplug the tablet and then try to start, it starts flawlessly.

I'm probably making a basic error but when I go into recovery I don't get anything like the options menu and no advanced wipe options. Any ideas why?

Are you sure Twrp is shown or is it factory recovery? Maybe you forgot to instantly boot Twrp after fresh install? It's mandatory. If you boot to Os some-weird-samsung-stuff brings you back to factory conditions (is it KNOX, I don't know) Could you be more precise what you did?

I installed twrp using odin, it automatically rebooted once it had finished. I then turned it off and held power and vol up and got to the basic menu.

    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 @ketut.kumajaya for providing us with a working source tree for CM which I used to compile this recovery.


    Credits go to:
    @ketut.kumajaya 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:
    1. Boot into your previously installed TWRP recovery.
    2. Select the Install option.
    3. Select "Install Image"; then select the .img file.
    4. Choose "recovery" option.
    5. Flash.
    6. Reboot recovery.
    7. Enjoy your new recovery.

    Flash at own risk!!!!
