T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T217T) CWM recovery and Root - Galaxy Tab 3 General

Hey All,
I didn't want to risk the ban as I have found this site very useful over the years so I'm posting this here. I know a lot of work goes into finding ways to root each device when possible so I thought I'd throw my $0.02 in.
I purchased a T-Mobile (SM-T217T) Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 last night and wanted it rooted. After hours of trying every method I could (SuperOne Click, Cydia Impactor, Kingo, and every other non Odin based root I could find) I gave up and decided to try some Odin methods.
I downloaded the CWM recovery for the SM-T217S
I grabbed The Universal Root file.
And lastly Odin 3.07
BEFORE STARTING put the untouched Universal Root file on your EXTERNAL SD CARD
Put the Tab in download mode (Power + Vol DOWN)
Open Odin 3.07
Connected your Tab to the PC
Click PDA in Odin, and select the CWM file which then asks to select the recovery file inside the tarball.
Make sure the ONLY options selected are Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and then click start.
Once the Tab turned off I let it reboot fully before touching it to make sure I didn't brick it but You can skip that and go right into recovery if you want.
Reboot into recovery (POWER +Vol. UP)
**Vol. Up and Down control line selections and Power selects the line**
Select Install Zip
Select Choose Zip From External SD Card
Select android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
Select Yes
Reboot
WIN!
Once I can find a way to safely upload a a nandroid or similar back-up (maybe a more experience Dev can send me a guide/walk me through it) I'll update this post with a link for a T-Mobile stock rooted rom. Or someone else can do it after you have root.
If You were part of creating any of the root files I used (found through Google and direct linked here) please let me know so I can credit you in my post.

Unfortunately, the links became invalid after a day or so.
I suggest just looking around XDA for the specific file names.

That was the entire reason of my exploring with root methods. I hate T-Mobile's unlock plan and figured the first step was rooting and debloating.

I haven't really looked to be honest. I'm not sure if anyone has attempted to flash anything custom yet or if they have then they had issues and haven't posted for the rest of us.

yeah i am hopeing to port over the galaxy rom for the p51xx i saw it had the phone app and would love to add it to this one also this will be my first time making a rom but seeing as how we do not have one for our tablets its a start at least after its started maybe someone with more knowledge will pick it up and run with it.
ok finally out of factory mode jesus christ it took 100 internet searches and thousand of useless pages to find two useful ones that could help. One of them on here and the other on w0lfdroid for how to fix it. If anyone is wondering the old galaxy tab generic imei trick does not work.

[ROM][STOCK][JDQ39][4.2.2] SM-T310 Stock Rom T310UEUAMH2 (NOT ROOTED)

Hey guys, this is the newest (as of October 5th, 2013) stock rom available for the North American, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" WiFi model.
I am not sure if this will work with any other version (ie: 7", 10", 3G, international, etc..)
Hopefully somebody can work with this to make our first custom rom, who knows!
This is intended to be used on the North American, SM-T310 8" WiFi model!
DO NOT COME AND CRY TO ME ABOUT IT BRICKING YOUR DEVICE.
YOU WILL LOSE ROOT. YOU WILL HAVE A FACTORY RESET DEVICE WHEN THIS IS FINISHED.​
This was taken directly from Samsung's FWUS and is exactly what you would get by using Samsung Kies to update the device.
I'm not going to give a tutorial about how to place your device into bootloader/download mode, or how to use this file, but I will give a brief description for you. Search this site for plenty of tutorials on Samsung Download Mode, and also where to obtain Odin (along with instructions on how to use it.)
I have NOT found this file ANYWHERE else, so if you're going to leech it, or re-upload it somewhere else, just give credit, or link back to this post, please.
1 - Decompress the zip file
2 - Put device into bootloader/download mode
3 - Execute Odin
4 - Select "PDA" option within Odin, and select the .tar.md5 file that was extracted from step 1
5 - Start

I'm uploading my deodexed rom currently. Been working on it for a few days and had to get the flash script working correctly. Will post a new thread when it eventually uploads.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
flashed.
its quite different from what i had though... T310ZTUAMG2 (Taiwan)
like auto brightness, my previous rom allows me to adjust the auto bightness level, but this one does not. its either manual or full on auto.
which one is newer?
I assume the one with fine auto brightness adjustment is newer...
Yet this one has a better keyboard... like numbers above qwerty keyboard. handwriting with multiple words on lines.
(The other one uses full screen handwriting, numbers located at a separated tab) >> I think its because Taiwan version uses "Samsung Chinese Keyboard" instead of "Samsung Keyboard", which by the way both support multiple languages but with different layout.
Are the Gapps included in this rom?
Thanks

Yes, this is the entire stock rom, just like you would receive it via ota or Kies.
Download link is no good.
Is no one developing custom ROMs yet because it's so new, or will we never see custom ROMs?
Sorry for the dead link, guys.
I accidentally deleted it from my server, and never realized it!
I've uploaded it to a mediafire link for you all, though! The link is in the original post
Let me know if anybody needs any mirrors or anything!
Is the MD5 hash available for comparison?

I've tried flashing this over my existing CM 10.2 install; Odin seems perfectly happy writing out all the images ( boot/recovery/system ), but when the Tab restarts, it gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
I can revert back to CM10.2 without issue - but I can't seem to get back to stock.

Philz did it.

foil,
Thank you so much for this. I was looking for it since yesterday...not sure why I missed this thread
Quick question: do you have access to stock recovery only? I flashed philz, but would love the option to flash the original recovery without the rest of the files, just in case.
Thanks bud.

No, you just need to get a CDMA SIM, a Verizon LTE 4G SIM is best, yes, I know the device is 3G, dont bother asking or wondering, just take my word for it, ALL of the LP d2vzw ROMs require SIM because they are for the Verizon S3 which is a 4G device and 4G devices require SIM for service and data, that makes us need it also. Another thing, stock MMS won't work with any other SIM than Verizon 4G SIM then dialing *228 to auto program SIM then manually edit APNs. Get a SIM and I'll set you up with what you need. Until you get a SIM just go back to stock or one of the kit kat ROMs from the first 6 months of last year and you won't need the SIM on those.

The team of guys I know are pretty good at what they do. Its mostly in the works upstream with the CM team. The guys I know are working as it comes from upstream. Its coming soon to the STS3 though. The team I know is already at work on it, they have it under control, I don't know about the other ROM teams though. It won't be out for beta testing for a couple of months so just be patient.

[Q] Help Flashing a ROM

Hi All,
I am looking for help on flashing a new ROM (probably a recent version of CM) to my SG3 I535 running Android 4.4.2. I was able to root it using towelrot and ended up soft bricking it when I tried to use ROM manager to reboot the phone into recovery. I then used Odin to flash back to stock.
This is where I am now stuck. My research shows that maybe I need to unlock the boot loader? But am unsure if that is actually my next step or how to get there. Any help or a guide in the right direction would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks in advance!

With being on NE1 4.4.2 you can't flash a custom recovery other than safestrap. Your lucky you didn't hard brick it trying to flash a recovery with rom manager. You can't unlock the bootloader at this point, that was last available on 4.1.2 and it is no longer an option

The Galaxy S6 G920R4 Rom Request Thread...

Hi there. I have a Galaxy S6 G920R4 from US Cellular. I absolutely love it. I'd love to have a custom ROM to run on it, but I of course don't have the know-how. I don't see much in the forums about my phone. I just wanted to start a thread and get some replies from others to show support and kind requests that have this phone from the same carrier. Maybe a kind developer will help us out here with whatever modifications need to be done to get a ROM working on our phones. I'd like to thank you all for the work that you guys do to make phones fun for folks like us.
I second this. I would love to have a ROM for this device. It's a wonderful phone but doesn't have the ROM support of the bigger carriers as of yet.
I have been waiting patiently When I had my Mesmerize, it really only took one person to bring support on, and I was able to use other ROMs through flashing specific stuff. This was with an AOSP rom, so I'm sure it is much different with these Touchwiz ones.
I've got two US Cellular S6's, both rooted but would also love a new rom..
don't forget us with the Marshmallow System dump of touchwiz!!!
This would be great... But I don't think an pure Lollipop will be available for a long time, since Samsung's drivers aren't public-domain anymore.
People with some know-how though should be able to at least modify the TouchWiz version, though.
Kinda wish that were me!
I have the S6 Edge and hope this thread takes off!!!!

I gladly second that. But first we need a functional recovery. Ive learned the hard way that the current and only recovery for it (TWRP) doesnt work on this variant..

Did you use Sprint TWRP then flash the kernel? Also, does unikernel fix the custom recovery deep sleep problem?

Flashed unikernel from the sprint forum, works great. Rooted.
I take intrest in it aswell, I have high hopes. Whoever makes one for use will have the dominating rom for this variant no doubt
Glad I found this thread. I have a G920R4 S6 in US Cellular. Can someone point me to the correct thread for rooting our phones? I just downloaded the Unikernel v9. Thanks.

Will installing the sprint TWRP work on the SM-G920R4 (us cell)?
Has anyone tried any roms at all?.....I know we would probably have to edit apn settings
