Mar 29, 2013 Ξ57 CommentsRoot and Install CWM Recovery on Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Android 4.1.1/4.1.2
posted by Rakesh Shukla
Rooting an Android device has many privileges. Having rooted your phone once, you are able to use third-party custom ROMs and mods that require a custom recovery to be installed. Besides, there are hundreds,or say thousands, of app that are capable of doing wondrous things and enhance your phones performance and usability. But this humble eulogy of rooting cannot undermine the hazards associated with it.
Rooting a Samsung Galaxy device is much easier than rooting any device manufactured by other OEMs but when it comes to rooting a Samsung phone from Verizon, things get a little more complicated and rounded. However, complicated it might be, it cannot stop our great Devs to crack the nut. All props and credit for the method described here goes to XDA member open1your1eyes0.
Disclaimer:
Please note that the procedure of unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a custom recovery on your Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 is considered risky. Moreover, it will also void the warranty of your phone. Proceed only when you are sure what you are going to do and understand the seriousness of things. More than anything, be careful while following the steps.
Looking for Rooting Tutorial for Some Other S3 Variant?
Take a look all Galaxy S3 rooting tutorials here.
Prerequisites:
•Charge your phone to have at least 60% of battery juice.
•Rooting does not wipe any data from your phone but we would strongly recommend that you backup all your contacts, messages, call-log, apps, etc. Here are some good free apps to help you with backing up your data.
•Put your device in USB Debugging mode from Settings> Developer Options>
Required Downloads:
Since this tutorial is for Galaxy S3 I535 on Android 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 both, download the files accordingly- only different being the stock bootchain file. For the sake of convenience put all the downloaded files in one folder.
These are important but mandatory files. If you have them, just skip:
•Download the Odin tool and extract the zip on your desktop: Odin3-v3.07.zip – Mirror
•Download Samsung USB Drivers and install on your computer. Skip if you already have it: Download
These two files are meant to be downloaded by all:
•Download the custom Bootchain file: VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 – Mirror
•Download CWM Recovery: CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 — Mirror
Download one of the following files depending on what you want:
•Download SuperSU file (for Root Only): CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip
•Download SuperUser file to (Root and Unlock Bootloader both): SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip — Mirror
Download one of the following bootchain files depending on firmware version of your Galaxy S3 SCH-I535:
•Bootchain file for VRBLK3 (Jelly Bean 4.1.1): VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
•Bootchain file for VRBMB1 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2): VRBMB1_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
Root, Unlock Bootloader and Install CWM:
Already made the preparations and downloaded the required stuff? It’s action time now. Be careful and proceed.
1.Copy the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file to your phone’s internal or external SD card.
2.Turn off your Galaxy S3 and boot it into Download mode: hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds till you see a warning screen asking you to press Volume Up key to continue. Pressing this key will take you to Download or Odin mode.
3.Open the Odin folder and run the .exe file present there and then connect your Galaxy S3 to PC via USB cable. Wait till Odin detects your device and you see ID:COM port turning Blue and “Added!!” text at the message box below.
4.Now we will flash the custom bootchain file so make sure that “Auto Reboot” and “F Reset Time” are selected on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select the “VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5″ file and click on “Start” button on Odin.
5.The bootchain file will be flashed in a few seconds and you will see “RESET!!” message with blue signal. Your phone will reboot automatically. Close the Odin window and disconnect the USB cable.
6.Now you need to install the ClockworkMod touch recovery. To install it, boot the phone into Download mode again (as you did in Step #2 above).
7.Relaunch the Odin, connect the phone using the cable and uncheck the “Auto Reboot” option on Odin.
8.Click on the PDA button, select the “CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5″ file and hit the “Start” button.
9.CWM Recovery will be flashed to your phone followed by “PASS!!”. This time your phone will not reboot automatically. Close the Odin window.
10.Now pull out the back cover of the phone and remove the battery. Place the battery to its place after about 30 seconds.
11.Then boot the phone into ClockworkMod recovery mode. To do this, hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously. Keep the 3 keys pressed till your phone vibrates and when it does, release the Power button but keep the other 2 keys pressed till you a gray background with blue text the clockworkmod recovery written on the top of the screen.
12.Since it’s touch recovery, you can either select options by tapping, or using the volume and power keys.
13.Okay, now go to “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard” and select the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file.
14.Confirm your choice by selecting “yes’ and let the installation finish.
15.When it’s done, go back and select “reboot system now”. But before your phone boots, pull out the battery and place it back after a few seconds.
16.Once again, and for the third time. you will have to boot the device in Download Mode. You know well how to do it.
17.Relaunch Odin, connect the phone to PC, click on PDA button and select the stock bootchain file (either VRBLK3 or VRBMB1) depending on what file you have downloaded.
18.Click the “Start” button to initiate the installation. When it is finished, the phone will reboot automatically.
So, now you have a fully rooted Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 with unlocked bootloader and ClockworkMod recovery installed. To verify the root, download any app that requires root permissions. However, there is a specific app for the purpose and you can find it at the Play Store
Everything went sucessfully and my phone was rooted. I did encounter one problem and that was I couldn't get the CWM Touch Recovery to stick. I found out with the help of a few forum members that I needed to select "yes" on the propmt to overwrite the stock recovery. (the warnign I got stated ROM will flash back to stock. Would you like to fix this? YES= This can not be undone/ NO or Go Back. I was selecting go back because I was not sure on what to select and CWM would never stick it would always reboot back to stock. Last night I did select yes, and it worked fine.) I went back and fixed the issue, and now CWM Touch Recovery is flashed on my phone. I also used Terminal Emulater to back up my IMEI.
My question is, because I initailly did'nt flash the CWM Touch Recovery the right way (right way meaning selecting yes) does this mean I didn't unlock my bootloader? I'm a complete noob and just want to make sure I have things in order.
Thanks,
Take a look at this thread to determine if you bootloader is unlocked.

This post is for people who wish to root their Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (WiFi) SM-T210. This MAY work for other versions as well, but to be safe, i suggest you proceed only if you have the SM-T210 version. But before that, i want to warn you about a few things.
Disclaimer:
Firstly, I neither own these things nor have any role in creating them. I am only acting as media acts, that is, providing the information to you. This information is strictly educational and i do not wish for any of you to cheat any hard working developer, as i myself do not do so either. Also, this information is strictly not mine. I tried this method and found it to be working and am just distributing this information
Secondly, If your android device, except for SM-T210 and maybe for it too if you don't do it properly, gets bricked during this rooting process, please do not hold me as responsible as all you do is on your head.
Thirdly, as I am sure you have heard alot of times, if you go ahead with this, you can consider your warranty Null and Void.
Now, lets begin with the rooting. After rooting, i will give you a few tips about which apps to install, although I don't know many of them.
To be downloaded before beginning: (Error, Being a new member, I cannot post outside links here. Sorry for the inconvenience, if you need these links, please email me at {removed}. As soon as i can, i will post the links
Odin (preferably a new version 3.07 or 3.09, this link is of 3.09) :-
TWRP Recovery, as it is working for my device:-
Universal rooting software (android armeabi):-
Samsung USB drivers, if they don't install on first try, try deleting and reinstalling them. I give this as this is a better alternative than Kies:-
Move the rooting software to the SD card of your device
After downloading, please do exactly as i say, unless you wish to brick your device instead of rooting it.
Procedure:
1) In your computer, install Samsung USB drivers. Also, please make sure that your device is atleast having 50% battery.
2) Open Odin.
3) In OdinSelect PDA and use it for TWRP Recovery. After you navigate to "TWRP Recovery.tar.md5" and open it using Odin, the file's pathname should appear on right of the PDA button.
4) Still in Odin, DESELECT Auto-Reboot (better if you do it) and Re-Partition. If you don't do so, this is where everything will go wrong.
5) Boot into download mode in your Galaxy Tab 3. To do so, press the home button, the volume DOWN button and the power button all at once. If successful, a screen with a big triangle with a ! mark will open with a few warnings. Ignore these warnings and press Volume UP button.
6) Connect your GT3 to your computer using the USB cable. If drivers are installed properly, a sign should open over your ID Com button, signalling the port. Also, just below the ID Com, and the other buttons of Auto-Reboot, etc, below them, there should be a small box where it says "Device added", then "Device Removed" then "Device Added" again (if it doesnt show removed and only shows added once, it doesnt matter). Also, when you use the PDA button for recovery, it should end with "Leaving CS" or something like that.
7) If everything until now is done properly, we can proceed to the easy part. Click Start
8) It will probably take a few seconds, then end at "Res OK" and RESET in the button a little above ID COM. Remove your device from the computer now
9) Now, we have to turn off the device using the power button. Just hold it and it will turn off. Once it does, you have to get into Recovery Mode. To do so, press Home button, Volume UP button and Power button all at once. Then a screen with a few options should show, and Team Win Recovery Project (if you used TWRP) should be above (if you have flashed it correctly)
Of course, if you have installed custom recovery earlier, there is no need to do all these above instructions.
Now, in recovery mode, simply click Install. Then, you will see a list on the left side. Scroll down, and select external sd card, and navigate to the android armeabi file (make sure you haven't decompressed it (unzipped it, i mean). Then, TWRP will install this to your system and you can reboot into normal mode. Download SuperSU from Play Store (preferably ClockWorkMod) and open it. Update your binaries if it asks you to.
To verify, download "Root Checker" from Play Store. By the way, install SuperSU and allow it to grant permissions to Root Checker before you try verification.
If it says Yes, which it should, then you have successfully rooted your Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (WiFi) SM - T210 and installed recovery on it.
If it says No, please comment below, or check the permissions for Root Checker from SuperSU.
For feedback (whether it be haters or questions), just comment below.
After rooting, the SECOND app to be installed after rooting is "Freedom" available at in-appstore.com. All information is provided there. And, i say second app, because the first is SuperSU.
Also, you can install SD Boosters, Speed Boosters, Recovery tools, Market Place (to download incompatible apps), and a lot more applications. Just Google it up bro (or sis). :highfive:

woul this work on android version 4.1.2? and what will be the remedy if i cant access the TWRT Recovery after the green pass?
Sent from my D2005 using XDA Free mobile app
Serphant, the green pass means that you have flashed the custom recovery to your device. To open TWRP recovery, press Home, Power and Volume Up Buttons together. It will work. Just hold them till the Samsung logo shows up.
Didn't work... When rebooting normally, the TWRP recovery starts again.
Rebot-> Power down, then power up again will show the TWRP recovery too.
So, I cannot boot to the system!
Yes, I did exactly what you said, except for:
- Auto reset cannot be turned off in ODIN (It's greyed out)
- You did not mention that the android-armeabi file should be on the external card, so had to remove that one and put the file onto it. Thereafter I did install it correctly.
Reson is mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/information-t210r-custom-recovery-t2884616
The recovery file is incorrect! So I installed the CWM v6.0.4.9.KK instead. That one does work!
Where is the file ''android armeabi'' to root the smt210 after I install twrp 3-0-0 ?

If you install TWRP 3.0 you can root it easily. Once TWRP boots it will ask you if you want to leave the system ro or if you want to make it rw. Make it rw. Then make a backup. (If storage space is an issue, you can select system partition only. System partition is 1.4gb) Once your backup is complete, it will pop up and say something like "It appears this device has no root, would you like to root it now?" Tell it yes and swipe to confirm. Then reboot system. You may have to open the SuperSUInstaller app and tell it to root or it will already have root and SuperSU installed. (I can't remember as I've used TWRP to root mutiple devices.) Last step is to update SuperSU app from the playstore, then open the new SuperSU and update binary.
Hello,
I'm new to all of this and I rewrote your instructions just to see if I understood them before trying to root my tablet. Now I have a few questions.
1. Do you know if these downloads work on a Linux Ubuntu environment?
2. What does RESET mean in thecontext below? Is it "press RESET"? Or is it a message that I must simply visualize above the ID COM before removing the device?
"7) If everything until now is done properly, we can proceed to the easy part. Click Start
8) It will probably take a few seconds, then end at "Res OK" and RESET in the button a little above ID COM. Remove your device from the computer now"
3. What is comprised in the "above instructions" here? Is it all between steps 7)-9) (aka the "easy part") or... just... all?
"Of course, if you have installed custom recovery earlier, there is no need to do all these above instructions."
4. If I do everything correctly Root checker must show Yes upon opening, is that it?
"To verify, download "Root Checker" from Play Store. By the way, install SuperSU and allow it to grant permissions to Root Checker before you try verification. If it says Yes, which it should..."
Thanks a lot for sharing these steps! I hope to update this old tablet to a newer Android version, if that's possible.
I'll try to attach the way I re-wrote you instructions, if you check it out please let me know if you spot any mistakes.
Have an awesome day.
I did what this guide told me to do:
Rooting Information: As we said already, once your device is rooted, warranty will get void. However, you can reclaim the warranty by applying official firmware update and then resetting the flash counter to 0 using apps like TriangleAway. To confirm if you successfully rooted your Android device or not install an app called “Root Checker” which is available for free from Google PLAY store.

To confirm if you successfully rooted your Android device or not install an app called “Root Checker” which is available for free from Google PLAY store. You can now visit this Best Apps For Rooted Android Devices (Android Phones & Tablets). If you face any root issue then do this: Connect your device to internet then update SueperSU app binary. After that, open SueperSU again and turn off KNOX notification from there.
But I accidentally disconnected my Tab from my PC before getting the "Passed" on the Odin.exe.

Galaxy E7 series is being highly appreciated by the users at the moment.
Samsung changed the plastic build and design into something cool with the new
Galaxy A & Galaxy E series. These devices sport a metallic build, a great look and feel.
The Galaxy E7 is the elder sibling of the Galaxy E5. It flaunts a beautiful 5.5 inches display
accompanied by a 5 MP primary cam. A 13 MP cam can be found at the back. Internal
storage is 16 GB, there’s a microSD card slot as well. Samsung used a Quad Core 1.2 GHz
CPU accompanied by Adreno 306 GPU to power this device up. Under the hood there’s a
RAM of 2 GB, a 2950 mAh battery is fixed inside. Out of the box, the Galaxy E7 can be
found running on Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
Android enthusiasts who are going to get their hands on the Galaxy E7 or who have
already got it, they may want to unleash the true power of this device. The very first
step towards the vast world of customisations on Android OS is to root the device.
We’ve already found a working method to root this device and written this post to
serve the purpose. Let’s go through some pre-installation instructions and then learn
how to root your Galaxy E7 E700, E7009, E700F, E700H & E700M.
1. This guide is only for Samsung Galaxy E7 [Variants listed above]
Make sure that your device is exactly as mentioned above. To check out what device
you have, go to Settings > More/General > About Device or Settings > About Device
and match the model number. Be careful about the device model number, flashing a
file on a device not listed here might result in bricking it up.
2. Battery should be charged at least 60%!
Your device’s battery shouldn’t be weak. In case your device goes dead during the
flashing process, your device may get soft bricked and you might be in need of flashing
stock firmware and that will ultimately result in wiping up your data as well. So, make
sure that you charge your device before you start the flashing process.
3. Use the OEM datacable to establish connection!
Always use the original data cable to establish connection between your Android
device and your computer / laptop. Using ordinary data cables might interrupt the
flashing process, so to avoid any mishap, you need to meet this requirement as well.
4. Backup everything!
Just to be on the safe side, you may consider backing up each and everything from
Your Android device. This is highly recommended so that in case anything goes wrong,
you still have the access to all of your data and you can restore it immediately.
You may backup everything as listed below.
Backup SMS Messages
Backup Call Logs
Backup Contacts
Backup Media – Copy your files manually to your PC or Laptop.
5. Turn off Samsung Kies and other softwares while using Odin3!
Make sure that you turn off Samsung Kies while using Odin3 flashtool. Samsung Kies
will interrupt Odin3 and will result in causing errors and may not let you flash your
desired recovery or root file. Also, make sure that you turn off any antivirus software
you’ve installed and also disable firewall to avoid any connection and flashing issues.
6. Disclaimer
The methods involved in flashing custom recoveries, roms and rooting your phone
are highly custom and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with
Google or the device manufacturer that is SAMSUNG in our case. Also rooting your
device will void its warranty and you will be no longer eligible for any kind of free
device services by the manufacturers/warranty providers. If your device comes with
a Knox counter on the bootloader, it will be tripped and you won’t be able to reset
it again. In case of any mishap we may not be held responsible. Follow these
instructions to the letter to avoid any mishap or bricking. Make sure that whatever
