[Q] root device and install CWM from source code? - General Questions and Answers

I would like to root my device first, however after I downloaded the superuser.zip from CWM. In stock recovery mod, it cannot be installed because of `E: signature verification failed`. I googled around, it said I need to install CWM first. But it is a ecsotic device, which does not have proper CWM img yet.
So I try to create my own img. However, I stuck at the boot.img extraction step. Because the dump_image apparently require a root privilege, which will need root the device. ...
What can I do? Is ther anyway I can extrace boot.img without root privilege? Or anyway I can gain root access without CWM?

Installing update.zip file without root

Hello ,
Installing update.zip file without root is possible or not
Maybe only if its signed by Samsung put in sd card and boot to the stock recovery.. Im not sure if samsung has a install from there or not....
So the answer is Root does not let you install a update.zip Its the Recovery that does.. Custom recoveries will flash any complete .zip . Stock recovery only samsung signed files.

If you have USB connectivity, you can use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, put a copy of the SuperSU.apk on the internal memory, then use that recovery to install SuperSU (or Superuser). That'll get you root access on the device, allowing you to use MobileODIN to flash a custom ROM if that's what you want.

It WILL keep the same recovery though.

1) Download the zip file
2) Flash it with a custom recovery

Use SuperSU, no need for custom recovery, and unroot. No need to flash stock rom to unroot.
Ah interesting, I did not know that. Thanks

Galaxy Note 10.1 Root or Flash recovery

Hello,
I have got a problem to do anything with my tablet N8010. Some time ago I flashed custom ROM Lineage 14.1 (android 7.1) using custom recovery TWRP. Everything works fine except on some bugs in the ROM. These bugs convinced me to flash good old stock Kitkat ROM. But there is a problem. My USB port is somehow broken - I bless god that it charge battery at least but data communication is dead even when using different accessories. Problem is even worse because I managed to flash stock recovery over TWRP. If I recapitulate this, I cannot flash stock ROM over odin because USB data transfer does not work. I am stuck with stock recovery which allow me to flash only Samsung signed ZIPs.
The target is to either root Lineage ROM or get back custom recovery somehow.
What i have tried already:
LineageOS - addonsu-arm-signed.zip
This ZIP should be flashed through custom recovery to achieve ROOT access but thanks it is unusable unfortunately thanks of absence of Samsung's signature
All kind of ONE-CLICK-ROOT-APPS
Since i cannot root device through USB cable I have to use applications to try to reach root state. I have tried most common apps for this kind of purpose but non of these worked.
Ideas to solve this kind of problem
ADB-ROOT option in LineageOS
I can enable ADB-ROOT access in developers settings. I know there is a way of connecting to ADB via Wi-Fi. This I have tried already and I was successful.
Questions:
Will the Wi-Fi connection persist event when going to bootloader?
Is it possible to flash custom recovery at least from booted Android through ADB?
Is there any other way to flash or root recovery not from bootloader?
Use stock TAR.MD5 file
I managed to get all IMG files from stock firmware .md5 file but is it useful somehow? Can i just put them into ZIP archive and flash it through stock recovery or ADB-ROOT?
Prepare ZIP for stock RECOVERY
I would either need custom recovery ZIP (not IMG or tAR.MD5 file) to flash it through stock recovery or create / change / delete some attributes in ZIP file to be able to pass the signature verification of stock RECOVERY
This is my situation. External SD and Wi-Fi are only friend of mine in this situation and I am asking you kindly if I am stuck with ROM I have or if I have a chance to resolve the issue and flash stock ROM.
Thank you
Have a look and see if Mobile Odin or Flashfire work on this tablet .

Since i am stucked with stock recovery, the signature verifying fails. I does not work.
I have managed situation by following this article. Also, do not forget to type adb root before typing adb shell
