Okey, first of all Im pretty noob in this topics, second of all my english is not that good. Third, my mobile is a GT-S7500L
By some reason I uninstalled the play store, so I wanted it back, I downloaded Rom manager or CWM I think so I could install Gapps in recovery like I read, the thing is I installed the wrong one, because I had GB and the Gapps were for ICS. After that I rebooted and the GB didnt run, after rebooting just the CWM window started. So I decided to install the stock rom. I searched it in SAMmobile I think, I dowloaded it and the screen send me a message that says (bad) cant install. So I downloaded other two custom roms from here, Jellybread and elruki-rom, these roms install normal, but after pressing reboot, the phone still send me to the screen of CWM, I mean its says installation complete but after y reboot, it still send me to the CWM screen!
Please someone help me, I really need my phone for work. I need to know how to fix it, or at least know that I can fix it and its not completely wasted. Helppp pleasee!!!

Hey thanks for answering, I fixed the boot problem yesterday, the problem now is Im with a custom rom, gellybread, do you know where can I find the stock rom? I searched in Sammobile but when I download it, it doesnt work, its a zip, do you know where can I find it? Gellybread works good but there's a bug and I cant use wifi.
Or maybe Im doing it wrong, the Rom is .zip, how do I flash that kind of files?
Thanks for your help

The stock firmware cant be flashed via cwm,you have to extract the zip file and flash it via odin
I have one problem. When I try to install new ROM, the recovery (TWRP) says that my device isn't rooted (I tried it on few ROMs, always the same...). Also, in the things that are shown when the ROM is installing (like mounting data, system, installing system files etc.) ins't installing superuser (I think that should be there)
Is there somebody to help me? Thank you...

TWRP search whether the superuser app is install in your phone or not,and roms like cyanogenmod have a inbuilt superuser ,so you should ignore that. :highfive:
But it seems to be.happening only on sense based roms... And it won't boot either I install it or not...

You should be able to post on ROM forum now(as you've reached 10 posts.
And the fix permissions option should be in 'advanced' section in CWM(not sure, I use TWRP recovery)

In the end, I just used a previous version of Odin (3.4 instead of 3.9) to flash an original stock rom.
Now the problem is that I have a new CWM that works with the volume up, volume down button, and this menu:
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- zipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update from cache
Since the rom is not really good, i wanted to flash another one (one of those we just talked about), but the backup i did with the previous CWM i had (Philz Advanced CWM 6.08.90) is nowhere in the tablet anymore (i dont have any sd card) and i dont know how to make a back up with this CWM...
So now the question is how to make a backup with this version of CWM so I can try to flash other roms, or how to get the version that i had before without takin any risk of brickin the device (so i can make another backup and try to flash another)

Are you sure the new recovery is CWM and not stock recovery?? If you flashed stock ROM, it should've given you stock recovery again...
(Does it show the CWM hat logo in the background?)

HELP
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T311 in Mainland China last month and I cannot install google play can anyone help.
Hello guys,
I installed cm-13 successfully and it was operating fine until yesterday. Today I tried to install a theme or something and it hung. So i just felt like doing a factory reset and I did it through my cwm recovery. But before that i made a backup, then i did the reset, then i did the restore...ever since then i havent been able to open the OS...it gets stuck on the samsung GALAXY Tab2 10.1 screen. I can however access the cwm recovery. I did infact try to unzip the cm-13 that i had previously used, and it doesnt work...
Please help guys!
I am pretty new to this and i feel like i cant figure out what to do next.
Is there a way to maybe restart the whole process, like get rid of the cm-13 that is already installed and redo the whole thing again?
Kindly help guys, i was really enjoying the cm experience and i messed it up :/

you did a backup before factory reset, then you restored the same data after reset. this hardly changed anything. the reason it didn't boot, is that The problem lies at the system partition, you should wipe system partition, data partition as well and flash the same cm-13 zip again along with gapps, if you had.
now let the system start. it should boot up with a clean installation. you can then try to advance restore and chose only data partition.
later just switch to twrp recovery by Android-Andi

Hello, actually I did exactly that, i wiped system partition and all of that...then i did try with cwm, and it didnt work, what is happening is that i select the option to flash the ROM, then the screen goes blank for a second and comes back to the home screen of the cwm recovery. So basically i selected the zip and nothing happened! I then tried flashing using twrp and the problem now was that there was the "no md5 file found" message and the installation would not stop, it would go on for too long, like some sort of loop. I then switched back to cwm and tried again and it still doesnt seem to work...kindly advice on what to do next

first thing check if you have updated to last official stock jellybean rom prior to cm13 upgrade.
this thread will help you to update your bootloader to jb from ics. if you have a jb bootloader already. you can skip this.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642005
next thing you should get twrp 3.0.2.8
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48848&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
after wiping, restart recovery, then flash the Rom zip
it takes time with the new CM13 builds to complete installation. some earlier twrp recoveries had issues(3.0.0.1 and 0.2, not sure right now, try latest only). cwm is not supported and twrp is the only preferred recovery by the Rom developers to flash the newer roms.
remember p5100 tab is called espresso3g now, since development has been unified. you need files marked as espresso3g for your p5100.
I don't which files are you using, development has changed so confirm the files that you're using are for unified builds and not device specific.

I followed all the steps that you suggested, and the thread suggested.
I installed custom recovery, then I updated the bootloader.
Then i flashed the new twrp, which is alot more easier to operated compared to the cwm .
then i wiped , restarted recovery, then flashed the rom,
the exact same thing that was previously happening with the cwm happened : I tapped on the rom, then a blank screen appeared and it went back to the main menu of the twrp...
The ROM i am using is: cm-13.0-20160220-1347-UNOFFICIAL-p5100.zip
i also tried using the ROM i got from get.cm : cm-11-20160822-NIGHTLY-p5100.zip
Okay so i played a slow mo video to see what the screen says before it goes back to the welcome screen:
Updating partition details. . .
. . . done
Full SElinux support is present.
MTP Enabled
Then after this pops up, it goes back to the main menu of the twrp.
What if i just reinstall the stock OS then do the whole process of getting cyanogenmod again from rooting onwards?
Kindly assist!!

do what @billysam said.
dont use device specific stuff. the latest twrp will only work with unified builds. for your device you need espresso3g builds.
you will find the latest roms on android-andis github site http://andi34.github.io/index.html

you're using device specific Rom build, cm13.0 unofficial p5100, the latest twrp recovery you have, is a unfied espresso3g one.
latest roms, are build upon espresso3g for p5100,p3100 and espressowifi for p5110,p5113 p3113.
use latest cm13 rom zip, marked espresso3g.
there are device specific roms and recovery, which developers have stopped working on, your issue is because of this. get unified recovery and rom.

maybe the zip got corrupted, checked your pc with anti-virus? are you downloading the zip file from androidfilehost of android-andi? or some other source? checked your sd card as well?
Hello guys,
I have a p5113 tablet that i have been having trouble with. I have tried flashing like 5 different roms and they all boot loop. I think its because I am using an old recovery (Device Specific TWRP 3.0.0-0) the problem is only the old recoveries are working for me. When i flash the latest common TWRP (3.0.3-0) Wiping gets stuck at updating partition details, it wont install any roms it stays at "detected filesystem ext4", and if I try to reset the tablet through TWRP menu it wont do anything. When I use the old recoveries it flashes and wipes fine. When i flash stock rom through odin, the system works fine. I have tried different versions of the latest twrp but to no avail. Thank you in advance for your help.
EDIT: I finally have a custom rom working on this tablet, it is Dhollmen stock 4.2.2 with GT-P5110_PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.59.2. recovery, device specific TWRP 3.0.0-0 would give me error 7. Im very happy but I would like to get Marshmallow on this tablet if anyone can help with that.
Install the 3.0.3-0 common TWRP, then try to format data (Wipe ->Format Data-> type yes). Reboot recovery once and then perform a wipe of all partitions (Wipe->Advanced Wipe-> select everything). If you get stuck at "updating partition details..." just wait. It could take as long as five minutes some times to get unstuck.
This is the link for the thread of Slim6, the mm rom I recommend by Andi:

And this is an aosp mm rom also by Andi, try it if above fails
http://builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-6.0
Flash both with TWRP 3.0.3-0
If problems continue, post the recovery log (you can find it after reboot at /cache/recovery/ )

Hello guys,
I have a p5113 tablet that i have been having trouble with. I have tried flashing like 5 different roms and they all boot loop. I think its because I am using an old recovery (Device Specific TWRP 3.0.0-0) the problem is only the old recoveries are working for me. When i flash the latest common TWRP (3.0.3-0) Wiping gets stuck at updating partition details, it wont install any roms it stays at "detected filesystem ext4", and if I try to reset the tablet through TWRP menu it wont do anything. When I use the old recoveries it flashes and wipes fine. When i flash stock rom through odin, the system works fine. I have tried different versions of the latest twrp but to no avail. Thank you in advance for your help.
EDIT: I finally have a custom rom working on this tablet, it is Dhollmen stock 4.2.2 with GT-P5110_PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.59.2. recovery, device specific TWRP 3.0.0-0 would give me error 7. Im very happy but I would like to get Marshmallow on this tablet if anyone can help with that.

have you used the twrp on the http://andi34.github.io/ website? and roms compiled before 3/22/16 dont flash with common twrp when I updated twrp I had downloaded the zip and went into twrp to flash it I havent used a pc at all to install twrp and root . so I just put the zip on my sd card and it updated it did you update twrp with odin?
Thank you for your reply,
Yes I used the recoveries from Android Andi, and yes I have installed recoveries in zip form through recovery and Odin. Unfortunately neither have worked. I did use the latest recoveries when I tried to install the newer roms but it just gets stuck, I can't even make nandroid backups it also gets stuck with the newer recoveries.
Edit:
@ john99ap Sorry i just got home, I tried what you said but it just got stuck at both wipes, I waited 10 mins but a no-go. I found the logs, I couldn't paste them in here because it exceeded character length so I put it in pastebin. I didn't know which log to use so I am giving you the ones that I think are more relevant
Log:
pastebin/gpWgBEm7
Last_log:
pastebin/12uLYgwS
Last_log.10

Thank you guys again for your help!

I can't find anything in these logs
I need the log in which you try to install the zip file.
Try this:
-Install TWRP 3.0.3-0 (if it's not already there)
-Reboot and delete all recovery logs you can find
-Install the zip without doing anything else before or after so that the log is as clean as possible
-Post any log you find
PS: you could upload logs in your reply by hitting the button with a stapler on the bottom left corner
Thanks for your reply, sorry about the old logs, here are the new ones like you requested. Hopefully you find something in these new ones. Thanks again for all your help BTW I don't have any staples in my advanced reply so I had to use Pastebin again sorry. I think its because of my low post count.
pastebin/UcntGLTZ
pastebin/Fq8V7WUf
PS: Not even the reboot button works on 3.0.3-0.
Sorry but I can't find anything in these logs either. Maybe it's my fault since I 'm not an expert
At your first post you said device specific twrp gives you error 7. This is caused by a safety check in which your recovery checks if your device is compatible with the rom. In your case, it must be a mistake of the recovery (I had the same issue with my p3110 device specific twrp). So you could just remove the safety check.
Here's how to do it:
- Go to the zip you want to install and find the file /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
-Edit it with a text editor and remove the first line (it begins with asserts and ends at the first semicolon)
-Install the zip
Good luck!

Awe thanks anyways dude, I really appreciate you trying. One last thing, on Andi's website he say that device specific 3.0.0-0 recovery should work to flash the latest roms. If anyone can confirm this maybe I can get the new roms working on it. Thanks again for all your help john99ap :good:
