Latest Recovery for ATT SGH-I497 Tab 2 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This question will sound n00b ... but I have to ask since I just got my ATT SGH-I497 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 back from Samsung after blowing it up TWICE trying to install TeamWIN recovery onto it. Can anyone please inform me of the EXACT recovery file that will work for my device? I have tried several and I only have a TeamWIN from MrHyde 2.4.4.0 that works and I want to use a newer version (2.6.x.x) so I can install newer roms. Anyone who can answer me with the latest exact TeamWIN recovery file to flash gets a free beer from me. -smiles-
I realize this post may be sent to the wrong part of the forum but I hope that one of you talented dev's can get me squared away. There are many more ATT guys who will appreciate the newer recovery also believe me.
Thank You to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

I flashed recovery_twrp2.6.3.0_tselling.tar.md5 with odin 3.07 and it worked for me. I did have to do it several times before it took. That was on the sgh-t779 and ithe recovery was originally created for your ATT model.

If you flash something with Odin or mobile Odin, the flash counter will increase

Tripping the flash counter is only an issue though if i plan to take my tab back to the store? Or does that have implications with it even if i dont try to return it or exchange? I dont plan on returning my tab soon just currently the only available root method for the sch-i705 is by odin

The app ''TriangleAway'' by chainfire resets the flash counter. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Triangle away works amazingly well. I use it on my phone to get rid of the yellow triangle thats caused by flashing. I will use it on my tab if I ever need to send it back. Chainfire is an awesome developer.

Flashed JB back to ICS but want Root
Been combing thru the developer section for hours. Of course, you have to almost go back to September for ICS related stuff. But, only saw the rom, recovery & root rom for JB. Where is the one for ICS? Even some of the custom tweaked roms for ICS now have dead links. I have root explorer and want to take some of the crap off and add some stuff.
I didn't like JB because of the GUI the notification bar was awkward and not sized right. Didn't like the screenshot softkey being gone either. The youtube buffering and connectivity was a turn off too plus the battery drain. I got 8 hrs on JB and 13 hrs on ICS. I would love to root and or put on a custom rom, any suggestions?
so i'm gonna be getting this tab in a couple weeks, and i have never had a multi version tab before (wifi onlyversion, and different carrier versions).
i found this thread, and i'm glad i did. my first question about this tab, is development related. i want to know how the community is, and how active it is. i quickly looked through the dev section and it seemed pretty positive, but it was just a quick look, so not a very accurate perception.
secondly, my question is on different twiz versions, are all stock images rootable in the same way? or are some versions more difficult to root? and i don't care about flash counters as the device is a glorified secondhand device.
and finally, just wondering how others like this tab, i don't want to start a war, or anything. just wondering about the device, because i'm new to samsung tabs.
besides that, i'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

There isnt a whole lot of development for the 10.1 version. But all of the man stuff is there and awesome. Its very easy to root on all versions of twiz. I personally love the device. I have the 5113 version which has an infrared blaster which is very useful to me. The specs arent spectacular but I havent slowed my tab down even playing high quality games. Im currently on stock jb rooted with twrp as my recovery. I havent overclocked yet either. Dont have the need for it currently

Galaxy tab 2 p3110 3G + WIFI has two problems after rooting.
I recently got a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 P3100 and rooted it with cwm and everything was ok. Next day, i decided to upgrade os to Jelly Bean but i copied the file to internal sd card instead of the external one, In order to correct this, i removed the ext sd card while the pad was still connected to the laptop and copied the files through the card reader of the laptop, put back the card in the tab before disconnecting. Now I completed the upgrading process, but instead of the jelly bean, i got the ICS. In download mode the laptop recognised the tab and I've flashed with odin two more time.I've rebooted in recovery mode twice without luck.
These are the problems:
PROBLEM 1. back and since then my laptop can't see the tab, I've done kies, reloaded usb drivers etc, no luck.
PROBLEM 2. In-coming calls are blocked but I can call out.
PLease help.

Very cool seeing this forum getting started. I've had my Tab 3 7.0 for about a month and while I like it having a couple of other Tablets and two smartphones I'd almost forgotten how miserable it is working with a non-rooted device. Almost 90% of my apps require root so at the moment the Tab 3 is just a toy to play a few minor games on, looking forward to seeing this fourum getting rolling with some excellent Devs and great mods.
Thanks to all you guys and gals who do such great work and rarely get thanked or compensated for it. If a dev does some good work for you and you aren't on the donation list then consider what your getting and why you think it should be free. Nothing, including your phones or tablets are free, why should these devs, who bring your device to full functionality, not at least be worthy of a few dollars donation???
Geez, I sure got up on my soap box today, guess I'm just so grateful to see the beginnings of a journey into great work on the Tab 3 I just wanted to remind folks that our Devs work hard and they deserve a few tangible thank you's. Sorry about the soap box, just happy to see us getting started!!!!!!!!!

The recovery for the tab3 8.0 using TWRP works and is 100% functional. I have it running and full root on the tab3 8.0
The 8.0 is running 4.2.2 while the 7.0 is running 4.1.2 so besides that the processor is different as the boot and kernel which makes some differences and more all around Dev work.
Triangle Away and any other method to go back to factory and remove custom device status is not available for either device so at the moment if you root you can't go back. Hopefully it is only a matter of time before all tab3's can be fully utilized.

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

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.

[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

Yeah sorry about that. I navigated the forums for days before I finally broke down and made a post. I'm a noob and there is just such a steep learning curve that maybe I saw the information I needed but it wasn't dumbed down to where I recognized it.
Anywho, I was checking Up on what you said about safestrap. And I ended up @ Has-of codes safestrap wordpress blog and I could not find a download for the VZW SG3 so is that also out of the question then or am I missing something?

Yeah sorry about that. I navigated the forums for days before I finally broke down and made a post. I'm a noob and there is just such a steep learning curve that maybe I saw the information I needed but it wasn't dumbed down to where I recognized it.

Yeah I understand what you mean. I suppose I have been a member for a couple years but still consider myself a noob when it comes to many things.
I apologize if I came off like a pr*ck, wasn't my intention.

Believe it or not a lot of the stuff I know has been both from the help of others and a ton of reading. I don't know everything myself. Being on here for years doesn't always mean a lot either

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
