[Guide] Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5200/P5210 without pre-rooted firmware

[LYandroid]

Can I use TWRP 3.x version by nels posted in dev topic with this method right away?

I think it's possible, even thought i still haven't used that recovery yet,but you should give it a try

 

[XpertSource]

For some reason when I followed all the steps correctly when I flashed the SuperSu file. The app didn't show up when I rebooted. Could anyone help?

Compatibility with android 4.2.2

Hi,
it is compatible this method with Android 4.4.2? Do you need any more information to verify the complete compatibility?
Thanks
P.S.: Don't look at the title, I've written the wrong version...

 

[tadewarka]

Well done. I am fresh on this subject, but with this guide I had no problems. Thank you

 

[battierpeeler]

with supersu, i get "failed to verify signature. failed to verify signature. signature verification failed."

with the second root method, i get "footer is wrong. footer is wrong. signature verification failed."

all downloads are from OP. guessing i missed something simple somewhere

any help appreciated if anyone still sees this thread :fingers-crossed:

edit: cwm worked when twrp didn't. all good on my end. root is working. thanks op

Boot problem after flash

I flashed android 7.1 & gapps using twrp. When the device reboots it gets stuck on a screen with a curved blue line with a blue circle running through it. How do I fix it l?

Change USB cable and USB por, then try again. Sounds like you're not getting a good connection between your tablet and PC.

I literally just gone through the guide and it works fine. Even flashing a later version of SuperSU worked.

Ok, do u think its from bootloader not being unlocked? + im using my phones (nova 3i) cable charger to transfer files, it works fine with my phone if i transfer files from my pc to phone.

How does rooting work when you cannot find an image matching ODIN?

i only find images with a boot.img
and a system folder

ive used odin only with a tar.md5 files

use recovery to flash root image. Not ODIN
7-Select install zip from sdcard,locate the root file where you have copied it (Internal storage or sdcard) and select it.

I just now flashed Lineage 14.1 which is Android 7 and I believe that is the highest rom for GT-P5210.

Hello everyone,
my english is not too good so exuse me.
This guide is for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5200/P5210 only.
i take not responsibility for bricking your device so please be carefull.
*NEW* video tutorial of this guide (made by @hamsturcio)

i have rooted my galaxy tab 3 10.1 P5200 without pre-rooted firmware and i want to show you all how i did:
1-Download TWRP Recovery (make sure to use the version that matches your tab model):
Link for the P5200 model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613332
Link for the P5210 model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613346
*or you can use CWM recovery incase if TWRP recovery doesn't work:
Link for CWM recovery non-touch (works on both P5200 and P5210):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23125694133305802
2-Download Odin 3.07:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490002273
3-Download the ROOT file (SuperSU)*:
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
*Incase if the SuperSU root method doesn't work,try this one instead (Superuser):
http://www59.zippyshare.com/v/96195148/file.html
4-Reboot into download mode(hold volume down+power) you will see a warning message,press volume up to continune,and your tab is now on download mode.
5-Open Odin,Connect the Tab to the computer and click on PDA,then select the TWRP recovery,
-make sure to uncheck 'auto-reboot' before flashing,because the tab might reinstall the stock recovery (thank you @Benzoman for telling me that).
6-When done,reboot the tab,and copy the ROOT file directly to the internal storage of the tab (or even external sdcard) and reboot into recovery (hold volume up+power).
7-Select install zip from sdcard,locate the root file where you have copied it (Internal storage or sdcard) and select it.
8-Flash the root file.
9-Reboot the tab,you will see a new app called SuperSU or Superuser,and surprise your tab is rooted

Credits goes to the developers who made the rooting method possibe on this device,i didn't make them so im only here to share information.

Have a nice day!!

Nice of you LY brother .

Je viens de flasher Lineage 14.1 qui est Android 7 et je pense que c'est la rom la plus élevée pour GT-P5210.

Bonjour,

Avez-vous le lien pour cette ROM s'il vous plait ?
J'ai essayé d'installer le SUPER utilisateur, cela à l'air de fonctionner, mais je n'arrive pas et ne comprend pas comment utiliser l'application super utilisateur.
ET je voudrais aussi installer un android plus récent.

Merci / thanks
