(Guide) How to root Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T111

[sushil888]

@dr.ketan

I flashed the T110 .zip TWRP on my SM-T111 (different than the T110, I guess) and the screen is filled with vertical lines. The screen works - recovery does function, apparently... but the lines...

Is this normal?! Can I use the recovery to flash ROMs and such?!

Hi,
I installed TWRP no probs on my t111 but it wont install the SuperSU v2.46.

I go apply update from external storage
then select supersu-v2.46

then it displays
Install /sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed

Applying Multi CSC
applied the CSC code : ITV
successfuly applied multi-CSC

Install from SD card complete

Any idea what is going wrong?
Thanks

Your recovery is not updated and still stock.
Open odin and uncheck Auto reboot. Flash recovery again and when flash Complete, manually reboot device to recovery and you will have custom recovery

Sorry ignore all that rubbish I just wrote.

It is all working OK now, it was a a combination of the auto reboot and then me being a complete muppet when trying to flash TWRP with Odin.

Thanks a lot!!!!!

 

[slippyjim]

Now I'm stuck in the bootloop, after I rooted it OK, I used Titanium Backup to try and remove Dropbox using "Force remove app (by recovery exploit)" that said it was going to reboot the device twice, it booted into TWRP and that is all its done since.
Ive tried wiping the cache & dalvik cache and also the data partition (after backing it up) but no help.

I've reflash TWRP with Odin but still the same bootloop

Have I totally bricked it?

 

[dr.ketan]

Shouldn't bricked but you need to Reflash rom. Either flash stock ROM and re do flashing recovery. Or straightway copy custom rom to ext SD and flash straightway.

I found this website with the stock ROMs on - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T111 and I also see you've created a custom ROM so I'm going to have a look at that as well, I'm sure its gonna be good as you seem to really know your stuff!!!!!

I have downloaded your custom ROM and it said it installed successfully but it still boots into TWRP.

I'm still waiting on the stock ROMs to download as they are coming from some annoyingly slow download sites.

SHould I try flashing the Stock recovery you uploaded in this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51712177&postcount=3

I have a feeling somehting similar happened on my Galaxy S2 with Titanium Backup, but I cant remember how I fixed it now as it was years ago

Once again thanks for your help

 

[slippyjim]

Wooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I successfully installed the Stock ROMand have got root back again no problem, so now time to try your Custom ROM I guess!!

Once again thanks for everything!!!

 

[apurvmishra]

Hey, I am having the same problem can you please tell me in detail what you did and which stock recovery did you use. I am pretty f*cked up, Please help me man. Thanks.

 

[slippyjim]

I cant quite remember exactly now but
pretty sure I got my stock rom from - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
booted phone into recovery then flashed the stock rom with odin

It looked slightly different that my original rom but worked fine

I can not find the procedure of my Samsung Galaxy Tab3 7.0 lite (SM- T116)[/QUOTE]

I can't find it either! My tablet is the Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T116BU too, funny), bought in Brazil (Android 4.4.4; Baseband T116BUUBU0AOH1; Kernel 3.10.17-831418; Build KTU84P.T116BUUBU0AOJ1). It seems they sold the same "T116BU" Model with several names all over the place, are they supposed to be the same?

I'd like to root my device, but not install another ROM (I didn't find that either). Tried several methods, both in the Phone and using Root Genius, no success...

Root Genius Screen (I enabled USB debugging etc):

I know it has been a long time since this thread was created... but since it's still "alive" I'll post my doubt.

I have a SM-T111M and I couldn't find any info about that particular model. It's always the T111 or the T210.

So... my question is: any procedure for the T111 will work on the T111M? Rooting, ROMS etc.

Thanks in advance.

=)
