[Recovery] and [Root] Galaxy Tab 3 Lite T110, CWM, TWRP, Philz Touch

[Isis111]

Thanks love, I appreciate the help. It seems no one has found a way to unlock the S4 bootloader, which in and of itself pretty amazing, but if thats the way I have to flash that thats what I'll do. Thanks again

Cheers, Krissy

Thank You

The only time safestrap is required is when a device has a locked bootloader. Safestrap is not a custom recovery in the same sense as Philz. It is also very limited in the functions it can perform due to the locked bootloader (ie. Can't flash boot.img). I have never had to use Safestrap, so my knowledge is a little limited.

I am so happy that your around, your advice is always to the point, and at least for me, always on target. Even though this is my sisters phone I'm working on I have to tell you how sick I am of buying something, like these devices, software, etc... I don't really own the device. The manufacturers have managed to find away of sellling us stuff and retaining ownership, its nauseating. Sorry, didn't mean to soap box ya, its just a pet peeve. If they were smart they unlock the boot-loaders and my guess is they'd sell more phones since allot of noobs would brick em.

That's all my pontificating I'm gonna do tonight, sorry, giggle.

Very Welcome, I think if you devs help us noobs then we should all donate, but that's just me and so far no one has offered me Goddess of the world. My son-n-law does IT at ESPN so I know how hard you guys works. Keep up the great work,

why i can't go into recovery? it always turns off.. philztouch and cwm. both not working on tab 3 t110. is there a fix?

 

[sushil888]

i installed twrp, rooted, thanx,
but can ibackup stock rom, it says, E: boot partiyion not available.

 

[Fidelcastrol]

Hi,

Could use some help. Flashed Philztouch successfully following this guide. Everything went perfectly.

Then I tried to flash DrKetan rom...and all went to hell.

Can't boot to ROM anymore ! I go directly to recovery every time the tablet boots. Tried to reflash using ODIN, but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm quite knowledgable when it comes to HTC devices, but right now I'm quite stuck.

I think only works on the t110 and that's a tab 3

If that's the case you pretty much brick your device just look up how to unbrick my htc on xda you'll find it

My bad, forgot to tell that I'm using a Tab 3 lite...so of course I don't use this on my One !
Anyway, fixed the tablet using samsung restore file. Then TWRPed it / rooted with success.

Ok..so I cant boot into custom recovery even though odin says flash was successful, tried with several recoveries, stock recovery is all I get, would like to flash stock firmware, didn't see a firmware for the US model, I say a fix for my problem somewhere in this forum would like to try it, just need to know the correct firmware to flash. Thanks ..Mod # sm-110

how much rework would need done for this recovery to work on our tabs?

 

[TheAreS]

Hi,
I want to just root my tablet but after i flash root zip i get signature error. For flash root zip i tried to install CWM and Philz CWM. Odin says Reset (If i select F Reset Time) or says Pass (if i unselect all) (file in PDA) but after i enter recovery mode no cwm, stock recovery. I tested everything. Minimum 20 times i installed. I downloaded 2 apps for root my device. Please help me!

 

[petermg]

My recipe is:
- flash stock recovey in cwm/twm/philz
- now it boots to stock recovery. It says a command (or binary? - dont remember) not found error, then reloads itself
- in stock recovery do a cache wipe (not data, not factory defaults, just cache wipe)
- than it formats cache

Than selecting reboot my t110 boots as expected
Clearing cache with cwm makes no sense, bootloop to cwm remains, so there must be difference how stock and cwm clears cache.

WHERE do you get a STOCK RECOVERY image to flash to this thing? I am having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!! WHY is there NO stock ROM links or stock RECOVERY links in the main thread!? The main thread says if this don't work you gotta flash stock ROM.. OK, well WHERE is the link especially to the US version??? I can't find one for US!? And I'd rather just do what you say and flash the stock RECOVERY instead of flashing the entire ROM. !?!!?

OK PEOPLE. I created an MD5 file of the STOCK RECOVERY that you can flash with ODIN when in DOWNLOAD MODE!!! THEN boot into recovery, that would be STOCK recovery, and just WIPE CACHE partition. Nothing about Dalvik, just the option that says to WIPE the cache. Then reboot. This will take you OUT of the CURSED custom recovery bootloop WITHOUT having to REFLASH your ENTIRE DEVICE with the STOCK firmware, wherever the heck that might reside.

MAYBE you can then flash a custom recovery using FLASHIFY or something from within Android but all I really want right now is root and I have that. I was stuck in the custom recovery boot loop and did NOT want to redo my ENTIRE device's ROM. So this is the way out. This info and file should be posted in a highly visible area, sticky or something? Someone posted that they flashed the stock recovery, but didn't post a file just said they used the custom recovery. I couldn't find any flashable zip of the STOCK recovery. I did however find an IMG of the stock recovery and I made it an MD5 file flashable with ODIN.

At last I get RELEASE from my OCD for the night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you SO MUCH! This is exactly what I needed. A customer brought their tablet in to me. They had tried to root it (no idea how), and it was stuck in a recovery bootloop. I loaded Philz (from post 4, Awesome recovery, btw. Thanks gr8nole!!) SPent several hours looking for a stock US ROM, and found no joy.

Downloaded, extracted your recovery, flashed with ODIN, and bam!

Blackscreen with This CWM on SM-T111M

I'm flashing the CWM from this topic the "T110.CWM.v6.0.4.8.tar.md5" on my SM-T111M, But all i get is a Black Screen, Someone can help me?

 

[CptKlink]

Not to be rude but whats the point of any of these custom recoveries when none of them work? And also whats with the neglect of the Tab 3 Lite I guess Devs don't like cheap editions of phones or tablets.

Well i know for me you have to wait a few secs/mins for any of the recoveries to actually boot then its just a matter of the custom recovery actually working.

I already waited for a long time, I just tested with a video and the one from the video boots in about 15 seconds, my just black screen.

i guess this version does not work with SM-T111M, Team Win Recovery boots but i get stuck on the Recovery.

When you get the black screen, hit volume up or down and see if menu appears.
