[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

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...

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

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.
