[ROOT-METHOD][Odin] SM-T210 or SM-T210R | Samsung galaxy tab 3 7inch wifi

[Jamison904]

While it is uploading here is the info. We have been working on making a custom recovery. No luck. Close but not there yet. So I decided to make a pre-rooted firmware you can flash through Odin. Works perfectly. The firmware I used was for the UK version. Funny enough stock the kernel is unsecure. Anyways it is the whole firmware so it is about 1.1-1.2 gigs. Uploading to me Dev-host.

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

By using the rom you agree with the above terms!

Instructions:

• Download firmware
• Download Odin - Link here
• Boot into download. (either hold power and volume down or do adb reboot download)
• Click on PDA and then find prerooted.tar.md5
• MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS NOT CHECKED!!! You will have an instant brick! You have been warned.
• Click start and wait.
• once done it will reboot into (stock) recovery and finish installing.
• Once done and booted just open SuperSU and update the binary. Not by CWM but the other.
• Done. Enjoy!

i want to check if the file is corrupted before i flash it


EDIT:
...okay sorry... it's late here... xD
there already is a md5 checknumber...

The md5 is on the download page (and odin will check it too).

what version of odin is every one using for the tab 3

Hey!!!! Congrats man....


Just two questions

1. That 'instant brick' you talk about... You mean a HARD unrepairable brick x.x? (Want to be aware of everything that can go wrong haha)

2. This will obviously erase all my data right?

Not sure about the first question, but you should not lose your data. This flash does not erase or overwrite the data folder (at least I didn't lose mine).

If repartition is checked it will hard brick the device. Any Samsung device actually. This is an Odin issue and has nothing to do with the firmware. Just double check repartition is not checked and you have nothing to worry about.

Just warning people who haven't used Odin before and thought that was how to wipe like recovery. It is not! This deleted recovery, download mode and even the boot partition. Lights go out and never return.

yeah i knew that much odin is serious business very easy to brick if you do it wrong. one of many reasons i have been hoping to get a easy root and unlock up for the na firmware this solution is putting the uk firmware on the na device same hardware just a few bits flipped in the na version i keep trying to keep my self convinced to wait for safer methods and roms to get released but i miss root so much...

 

[Jamison904]

Well besides that and making sure you have enought battery life this is very safe. I flashed like 20 other failed attempts of custom recovery and this like 2-3 times getting it 100% correct.

This is only root right no recovery

Yep full UK ROM pre rooted since apparently the r in sm-t210r stands for restricted.

 

[bensonhsu2008]

can i do this on SM-T210? (Hong Kong/ Taiwan version)

 

[batman08]

I've done ist successfully on a SM-T210 sold in Germany...
Only thing i noticed is a slight problem with GPS.
It takes long to find sats and even after a minute or so only 3
sats were found. With the "stock" Rom around 10 sats were found
in less than a minute...

Other than that it works fine ! Congrats !
Cant wait to see custom roms coming...
