Hi....
I would like to try this ROM, but does it really have to come from latest PhilZ Touch unofficial repack from NEXT kernel thread ?
Indeed, I tried to follow step by step on that thread but alwayw failed due to the error while trying heimdall thing.
It is said that I am missing some file MSCR100 (something like that), which I have tri3d to solve this by installing the missing file.
But still unsucessed.

When trying to go to TWRP and install the ROM directly, it is failed as my device was recognized as a tab 8 wifi (I am using the 3G version of device here).
Please advice, and many thanks....

If you are already rooted just flash the recovery with flashify from the play store. No computer needed or Heimdall.

first, thank you for the advice.
but sorry for my question (again), which file should i flash over flashify ?
i tried to flash the philz's zip file but it is not working.
and then i tried to extract teh file first, and flash the recovery.img file.
it worked, and i can go to philz touch recovery.

the other problem came up.
tried to flash the rom, but failed.
and when i tried to reboot, it keep going back to philz recovery.

please advice.
thanks again....

Recovery.IMG is the file to flash. Unzip the flashable zip and point flashify to recovery.img.

Is the ROM already on your SD card? Flash it and see if that fixes thee boot to recovery.

Did you flash the recovery.img to boot or recovery?

You have 3 options at this point.
+. Flash the new ROM and see if this fixes the boot issue. The negative is you will lose all your apps and data. Pictures and files will remain but all apps will be deleted.
+. Download a stock ROM and push to device with adb from computer. As before you will lose all data.
+. Odin or Heimdall a stock ROM onto your device losing all data again.but this time pictures and files too.
+. Adb push ketuts kernel onto device and flash it. I suggest trying this first.

@andikasaja Reflash PhilZ Touch (with selinux suffix) and then directly flash latest NEXT kernel. NEXT kernel don't care about your ROM version, it boot everything. Good luck!
mmm....it seemed that i flashed the wrong philz touch, as i was initially flashed philz touch blackhawk (without selinux suffix)
okay.
will try following :
- reflash philz touch with selinux suffix
- flash blackhawk-next-kernel-0.6-t311
- flash new rom (i would like to try cm-11-20140103-UNOFFICIAL-lt013g or maybe omni)

please advice if i missed something.
thanks again...

Flash PhilZ Touch recovery and then directly flash NEXT kernel, reboot into recovery and then flash Omni. For dual boot, discuss it in NEXT kernel thread.

my bad....
as i am too excited, seemed that i had do it in a wrong sequence.
i reflash philz touch, and did not directly flash the NEXT kernel.
i go to philz touch first, and then flash the NEXT kernel from philz touch
now my tab stuck on samsung galaxy tab3 logo

I start it over, flashed philz touch, flash NEXT kernel, and flash the ROM.
And now my tab stays on bootloop, galaxy tab3 logo and cm logo.
Any advice, please...
