MAD PROPS to @@JonathanRAZ FOR GETTING US UP AND RUNNING WITH ROOT!
I stole yer stuff!! MUAAHAhahahahahaaaaaa, be sure to thank at least one of his posts.
I’m just consolidating things down to one post to follow. I did this, worked perfectly on the first try for me.
WHAT YOU NEED:
YOU NEED TO READ THIS ENTIRE THING BEFORE ATTEMPTING.
The ACTUAL links are further below.
- Marshmallow TAR file:
Thanks to @SamFirm2016 for uploading the ZIP.
- ODIN
Thanks to @TEKHD for having a direct link.
- TWRP & SuperSU **Courtesy of @Chainfire and @bigbiff**
TWRP-3.0.2-1-G928T-N920T.tar
From what I have read, Philz Recovery doesn’t work currently.
- SuperSU-v2.71-G928T-N920T.zip
Thanks to @Misterjunky for sharing these direct links.
WHAT TO DO!
READ EVERYTHING FIRST, then…READ IT AGAIN!
I will not hold your hand as I’ve written this out so it’s easy to follow.
READ EVERYTHING FIRST!
1. BACK EVERYTHING UP! You’re going to want to have a nandroid and backups with Titanium Backup or ROMToolbox. You can thank me now AND later. Also, might do the SMSBackup for your messages.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF BATTERY!! This is common sense, but you know how people are.
2. Plug your phone into your computer and copy the “SuperSU-v2.71-G928T-N920T.zip” to your phone. This will be flashed via recovery, TWRP, in a few steps.
3. Once copy is complete, TURN OFF your phone, completely off. Power that baby down.
4. Make sure your phone is no longer plugged into your computers, UNPLUGGED. Then press the vol down + power + home button. This puts you into “Download Mode”. Press the vol up button, as the screen tells you to do, but DON’T plug it in yet, that’s in a bit.
DO NOT PLUG YOUR PHONE IN.
5. Unzip “N920TUVU2DPD1_N920TTMB2DPD1_TMB.zip”, the file from the Marshmallow update, and remove the “.md5” from the end so it’s just “.tar”.
Should be “N920TUVU2DPD1_N920TTMB2DPD1_N920TUVU2DPD1_HOME.tar”.
6. Open ODIN!
7. Installing the Marshmallow update:
You will click on “AP” and select the “N920TUVU2DPD1_N920TTMB2DPD1_N920TUVU2DPD1_HOME.tar” file.
AP = N920TUVU2DPD1_N920TTMB2DPD1_N920TUVU2DPD1_HOME.tar
8. NOW plug your phone in and let Odin recognize it.
9. Let’s click on the START button at the bottom of ODIN and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SCREEN.
The phone will reboot and start up Android, and this is fine for this portion of the process.
10. Power off the phone and unplug it from the computer, just as we did before in step 3.
11. Go ahead and bring it up into “download mode” as we did in step 4. Don’t plug it in yet.
12. Now let’s get TWRP loaded-
Installing TWRP:
You will click on “AP” and select the “TWRP-3.0.2-1-G928T-N920T.tar” file.
AP = TWRP-3.0.2-1-G928T-N920T.tar
13. NOW plug your phone in and let Odin recognize it.
14. Next, READ STEP 11 FIRST!
Why? Because you’re going to have to have fast hands and fingers to hit the vol up + power + home button when the phone automatically reboots.
Suggested by @richie_b:
"in Odin (Options tab) u can uncheck (Auto reboot ) so u wont have to have quick hands ...this will leave the phone in download mode...but all u have to do is press vol-down + home + power ..to get it out of download and into twrp"
15. Let’s click on the START button at the bottom of ODIN and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SCREEN.
Get ready for the reboot and those fast fingers.
16. As soon as it passes the phone screen will go black, IT IS REBOOTING, and you NEED TO HIT VOL UP + POWER + HOME BUTTON to boot into recovery.
If you miss this then do it again.
17. Once done correctly, the Samsung screen will come up, relax because the TWRP screen is coming up afterwards.
18. In TWRP, press “install”, navigate to the “SuperSU-v2.71-G928T-N920T.zip” you copied over, select it, and slide the slider at the bottom to install.
19. I didn’t do any wipes, I have a Zen Watch 2 and that disconnects it from the phone and I’m lazy…meh. Regardless, you can or you can skip that step. Some have and some didn’t.
20. REBOOT system.
21. It WILL ask for the pin code with your fingerprint access, if you have that set. I noticed it does this after every reboot.
22. Yer welcome. Should work now.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS and there should be no questions.
Thank me and the people I listed.
NOOBS! Search the threads before asking. I’m nice and like to help, but I WILL refer you to this post and tell you to follow it.
If you’ve never rooted you will want to do a bit of research first.
BRICKING OR BREAKING YOUR PHONE IS NOT MY FAULT!
OPTIONAL KERNEL:
@ UpInTheAir has a MM kernel you can try out, but do so at your own risk.

Having issues with Marshmallow biting pay the logo?
You need to do a full and complete wipe in twrp recovery, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik and last but not least a factory reset in twrp.
After that put the phone into download mode and flash the marshmallow firmware.

Great thread, thanks!
Question. I'm obviously missing it somehow, but where/when do flash the firmware? I've downloaded all the files. Extracted to my desktop. Odin's open and ready. I have TWRP sitting in the AP section but when/where (which step) is the firmware being flashed?
Will try this later tonight thank you.

Press start
It's step 10, "Let’s click on the START button at the bottom of ODIN and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SCREEN. "
Reread the steps before you proceed to make sure you know what to do next. Hope that helps.

I think he's saying that he followed this step:
7. You will click on “AP” and select the “TWRP-3.0.2-1-G928T-N920T.tar” file.
AP = TWRP-3.0.2-1-G928T-N920T.tar
But nowhere in the guide does it say to load the N920TUVU2DPD1_N920TTMB2DPD1_N920TUVU2DPD1_HOME.tar file into Odin

Hi guys. I recently got interested in the world of ROMs. I wanted to try out Jelly Bean and followed a guide from DroidViews (I am from The Philippines. I downloaded the UK firmware.) --can't post outside links because I am a new user.
I didn't see anything about rooting, no ClockwordModRecovery something, so I'm kind of worried if I really did it right. I followed the guide literally as it was my first time. There was little lag when opening the app drawer, and returning to the home screen. The little text in the notifications bar is slightly blotched/noisy edges--very minor but I really like things neat.
Also, from this, how do I get back to my old 4.0.4? THANKS!
EDIT:
- I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 - P3110
- I downloaded Jelly Bean 4.1.1
- I used Odin v3.04
EDIT 2:
- I did a factory reset. No change. Lag is still there.
EDIT 3:
- Installation procedures that I followed:
Download the firmware from the link above and extract the zip. Inside the extracted folder, you will see a .tar.md5 file.
Download Odin3-v3.04.zip and extract the zip.
Download Samsung USB Drivers and install on your computer.
Charge your device and backup all important data.
Turn on USB Debugging on the device from Settings> Developer options>
Switch off your phone and enter the Download Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Down and Home buttons simultaneously and then long press the Power Key. Press Volume Up key on the next screen to enter Download Mode.
Now open Odin.exe and connect your device to computer.
When your device will be connected to your computer, one ID:COM box will turn green and you will “Added!!” text at the message box at Odin.
Click on ‘PDA’ and select the firmware file with .tar.md5 extension from the firmware folder.
Now in Odin, ensure that only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are checked
Click on Start button on Odin.
This installation might take a few minutes and when it finishes, you will see PASS! message on the ID:COM.
The device will reboot now. Disconnect it from the computer.

What kind of question is that? Did you even read my query? I was asking lol. How do I get back to ICS 4.0.4 (My original firmware)?
Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P3110&pcode=XTC&os=1&type=3# you will get your original firmwares there I took the liberty of searching it for you so the link will take you directly to the firmware for your model and country just flash this firmware and it will return to 4,04 for Philippines :highfive: good luck mate let me known if it helped

Jaggy, I thanked you for being so helpful. This is what we need around here. People who are helpful, and not so quick to jump on people because they didn't search. I know how annoying it is to see the same question for the 100th time, but just because we understand what is going on, doesn't mean they do.

Thank you thank you so sooo much!
Okay so I've been at it for days and i mean like months.... when I first bought my 8 gb white Samsung galaxy tab 3 Kernel 3.4.5, android 4.1.2, model JZ054K.T210RUEAMK1 and all i have been running into is problems, like jittery display issues, or flickering display, I tried every method but none has worked but i finally found one and got it all working and running, First of all i would like to thank gr8nole for this method, and all who have helped him. So first let me explain the most easiest explanation for dummies like me, or noobs
Just and example video for visual learners http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XolmtyvS3Yk&feature=youtu.be, but you want to click on the files i suggested on the bottom lol not what he has on his screen xD
Must Have: KIES, make sure you have fully updated rom from samsung themself which can be found on kies when you plug it in and update firmware, which your android should be on 4.1.2 and version because that's what i have
1. First lets Get all the files we need, First go download SM-T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip at his xda post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853, after you have download that you will a friend name odin, which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539 (With odin you only want to use v3.07) and nothing else , Last but not least you want this file from gr8ole android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip and save that to your sd card or ext while click on usb debugging or w.e you wanna store in on tablet
so you should have odin 3.07
T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip
android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
2. Use the same method as g8nole and minor adjustments
Instructions:
1. Download ODIN on your computer (just do a google search to find it...version 3.07 will work fine). http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2189539
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program using admin rights which means right click run as admin. I recommend un-checking Auto Reboot. DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION LEAVE UNCHECKED YOU BEEN WARNED (which it already should be). See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them) which can be found here http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/.
7. Select "PDA" then choose the T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip.
8. Hit "START"
9. Wait for device to restart. Which means wait til odin says OKAY in the white box and the Picture ask you to reset, When the download icon under download updates is full bar, and odin says reset!, just unplug it. then restart by holding the power button down, with vol up, and home, once the samsung picture shows, only hold the up vol button, recovery mode should now be on. Select install zip, and locate the android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip)navigate with the up down volume button and power button to select) file, whichever you placed in sd, or exsd,
10. When all is done reboot device, then it will update your android once you turn it on, Now the anoying part, It will be rooted but what google play won't connect?, easy fix , first lets just update all the binaries since its already rooted in supersu app,
Google Store Fix, now first you have to delete your some things, your apps wont dissapear or nothing as long as you dont uinstall them, go to settings<application manager<all<google play store<clear data/cache w.e<force stop<uninstall updates<it will then ask you it will be factory installed<yes, next step, delete your gmail account if you haven't done so, now go to your time settings (Date and Time) and change it to recent date whichever today is , then open play store and it will ask you to sign in again, blah blah google needs sign up and it should be up and running
ALL DONE, remember this is for people who have run into flicker display problems, which is caused by kernal issue with our model, but with stock rom itself we can universally root it through odin with just that simple method which took me like 3 mins lol to do
Grats guys! you have root and cwm now who doesn't want that enjoy and thanks to developers hard work! and my ambition!
this worked for my SM-T210 also. Thanks heaps for this how-to!
Ok my device is already rooted but I would like to install CWM Recovery on it. So I can make a backup. Or does anyone have the stock kernel for it

But you can also use Odin 3.09.
I'm portant is that you flash always the newest CWM / TWRP or PhilzTouch Version about the new updater scripts.

Your best option is to get CWM sknce it will be your original backup instead of a Rom created from another device.
SM-T2105?
Hello,
I came here beacause of a shorcut link given by @gr8nole and another member (I forgot sorry).
But my English must be to bad, i read and re-read, still don't find the answer...
I have the G Tab 3 kids model, SM-T2105.
@bierma32 says: "Important is that you flash always the newest CWM / TWRP or PhilzTouch Version"
Could you tell me wich one is the best, CMW or TWRP, plz? (the last I can find for T210 is CMW-6.0.4.9 and/or TWRP-2.8.2.0)
More important, do you know where I can find the zip of a rooted stock rom, including that 'kids' stuff? (SM-T2105). Or will I not loose the stock rom? Is there no wipe? Sorry, I don't understand.
I want to root, because of lack of space, and the rest.. but I don't want to loose that..
And the most important, "last but not least", I could not find the zip " android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip", so can you help me please, putting a mirror or so? Or could it work only with flashing a SuperSU zip? Not so easy, right?
As you maybe can read, I am a newbie in Android rooting. Or is there another way to do?
Thanks for reply.

These are the steps I used for my Sprint Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and it worked for me.
It may not work for you.
I cannot provide support in case anything goes wrong.
There are virtually NO ROMS out that I'm aware of that are able to work with Sprint service. My tab is out of contract so I'm going to be working on loading wifi only ROMS.

Optional (Recommended):

Return to Stock Thread for a just in case scenario.
Steps:
Make sure drivers are installed and ADB can see your tab.
Reboot into download mode by either typing "adb reboot download" or by holding volume down & power when the device is off.
Open ODIN. Usually do this with administration privelages to negate any shennanigins.
Device should show up on the top left. Click AP / PDA and select "espresso10spr-cwm-test1.tar". Don't click start yet!
Get ready to hold volume up. Auto Reboot is selected by default. Don't click Start yet! When the flash is done the tablet will reboot. You want to go into the recovery on the first reboot or the flash may not take.
Get ready to hold volume +, press Start. When the tablet turns off, HOLD volume +. It will say booting recovery, act like it took, and turn off. This is the voodoo feature of the ShabbyPenguin file.
Turn the device back on, and reboot into download mode again. This time selecting the "cwm_recovery_espresso10att_childofthehorn.tar.md5" file. Same thing, get ready to hold the Volume + button when the tablet reboots.
Viola. Violin. Vegasaurious Rex. Clockwork should boot. At least it did for mine.
If anything goes wrong, there's a link in the optional list to revert your tablet back to stock. As well as the RECOVERY ONLY stock image you can flash with ODIN.
Some footnotes, sometimes with my tablet it doesn't like to turn on after a failed flash. A workaround for this is to hold the power for around 3-5 seconds, wait one second, and then hold Volume -. You should be presented with an option to go to download mode or restart the tablet. Select restart the tablet to get it working again.
<Reserved for Wifi-Only ROM Testing and results>
YES!!!!
Flashing the recovery worked for me. I can't wait to hear from you as to what custom roms are ok to flash.
Thanks a bunch!
Anybody find any ROMS yet?
I so hoping someone has made some progress with this.
Thanks to all those who have gotten us this far!

It's beena slow process. All the ROMs I have tried don't really do well. Wifi not working, that kind of thing. I was waiting to see if more roms came out to try. I'll be checking again in the next few days.

Some footnotes, sometimes with my tablet it doesn't like to turn on after a failed flash. A workaround for this is to hold the power for around 3-5 seconds, wait one second, and then hold Volume -. You should be presented with an option to go to download mode or restart the tablet. Select restart the tablet to get it working again.

I just inherited one of these suckers and would love to see upgraded past Jelly Bean. What ROMS did you have success flashing? I'm not seeing much out there about flashing this device besides what is linked to this post, and no specifics were ever mentioned, just that it might be possible with some serious bugs. Can you point me in the right direction?

<GUIDE><TOOLS> Verizon S6 Stock Restore Files<ODIN><SmartSwitch>
I will not be updating this thread any further. I no longer own the device.
Here is a link to the stock Verizon tar file to flash in download mode via Odin. I will add more files as they become available. Use this to return to factory stock if a factory reset dose not solve any problems you may have with your retail Verizon S6. If you find these files useful and download them please hit the thanks button. Do not copy these files and repost them, make a link to this thread instead. If I missed anything in the instructions please let me know and I will update the OP. Thanks and enjoy.
Install Instructions1: Download Odin and Verizon S6 Retail Tar from the links below. Then extract the Odin.zip file ..
2: Run Odin and pick the AP button then navigate to where you saved the file you want to flash and chose that file. Let Odin verify the file.
3: Turn off your phone and enter download mode by holding the home, volume down and the power buttons until the enter download mode screen appears. Then enter download mode by letting go of the buttons and then press the volume up key.
4: Now you should be in download mode, connect your phone to your PC now. Odin should say connected in the message box, if not you need to install your Samsung phone drivers.
5: After connecting your phone and loading the tar file select the Start button and let Odin do it's job. This will take about 5 to to 10 minutes to complete. Please be patient and do not disconnect your phone until the phone reboots and the word Pass appears in the upper left corner of Odin.
6: That's it, you should now be in the phone setup screen with the words Pass in Odin if all went well.
If you get stuck in a bootloop after flashing a tar file don't panic. Enter the maintenance menu by holding the volume down, home and power keys for about 10 seconds. Then clear cache and factory data reset.
Firmware Flashing
1: Using flashfire wipe and then flash the ROM you are switching to that is of a different build. OE2 to OC3 for an example. You wikll most likely get stuck at the Samsung lockscreen when the phone reboots.
2: Don't panic just reboot into download mode and flash the proper firmware with Odin by holding down the home, volume down and power buttons for about 10 seconds. Select reboot and use the same button combo to enter download mode.

Is it possible to remove bloatware via this? May be a stupid question but I recall in the past of people having modded restore files such as this which did not contain bloatware or for instance even contained root. Possibilities of this? Also thanks for the thread!

No, we can not do that without root. If the stock image is modified in any way it breaks the signature and fails to boot. Thank the locked bootloader and Verizon for that but we can disable the apps witch is nearly as good.

Good to see you around too. I got the g920v. I ditched my DevEd Note 4 for the rootless S6 because I like it that much. The hardware is pretty amazing. Plus I wanted to step away from ROM building for a while with all that has been going on with life. It's way too time consuming. I will probably get back into it some day but for now these tar threads are a good way for me to give back to the community.

I know this may be a stupid suggestion, but you might want to add press "start" in your instructions instead of saying "press the AP button" on step 5.

Marshmallow OTA for canadian xt1563 : https://mega.nz/#!1pxWiSIS!u279kerhsu1HspzFZ4-wrzYfWgtSUqb3o8K8ffLw4lM
For the procedure, look down. Someone posted it on 1st page.
If you altered system ( ex:root) you'll need to go back to stock:

Root (optional)
TWRP recovery (after applying the OTA) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-t3194656
The correct SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125
The X Play is actually XT1563. This firmware is for the Moto G.
Update: the above statement is wrong. I can confirm this update is running perfectly on my Koodo X Play!

Yeah, but the file listed on mega has lux_retca in its name. Moto X Play is codenamed as Lux, so maybe it is in fact the right file for XT1563? Maybe, it was just an error from poster MerlinMerlinMerlin?
Hmm... I have a Koodo X Play and just checked for the OTA and it wasn't available for me yet, but that has me wondering now. I don't wanna risk it until I'm sure though. Hopefully this means the OTA is out soon though.
Oops! I messed up the title.
Corrected the incorrect xt1053 by the correct xt1563
Just finished installing it through ADB sideload (I'm a Canadian Koodo user), I reinstalled the stock firmware before so that I could start on a fresh image. I had trouble getting into stock recovery at first. I was seeing a no command message when trying to enter it but, then I found the solution:
To get passed that point, you have to use the hold power + vol up button solution but, it's tricky, I had to try 3-4 times before getting it right. This part is kind of messed up, if you hold power button for too long, the phone interpret it as a reboot command. What worked best for me was holding vol up button alone for 5-6 seconds and then, I'd tap and release power button while still holding volume up button.

How do you install it? Simply install it in recovery or do we need to install it by adb?

First, you need to have stock recovery, if you installed TWRP custom recovery, you will need to reinstall stock recovery. Entering stock recovery can be tricky, at first you may get an Android robot laying down with a "No command" message.

Edit: a user reported that this method work better (your mileage may vary)
Press and hold the Power Button for 2-5 seconds, while holding it, press and release the Volume Up button. You should now be seeing all the Recovery options.

Once you are booted in stock recovery mode, you can simply follow those steps:
Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Download the OTA update .zip file on your PC and rename it to ota.zip.
Enable USB debugging:
Go to your phone’s settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” Seven times. This will enable Developer options on your phone.
Now go to Settings » Developer options » and tick the USB debugging check box.
Connect your phone to PC.
Now open the folder where you downloaded the OTA update .zip file and then open a command window inside the folder. To do that, do a “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
Now issue the following window to command window to reboot your device into recovery mode:
adb reboot recovery
└ Check your phone’s screen, if it asks for “Allow USB debugging”, accept it by selecting OK/Yes.
Once in recovery mode, use Volume buttons to navigate up and down between options and Power button to select an option.
Select the “Apply update from ADB” option.
Now issue the following command to finally begin installing the OTA:
adb sideload ota.zip
└ This will begin the OTA installation.
Once the OTA zip is installed, select reboot from the main menu of recovery.

Please take note that once Marshmallow is installed, nothing is stopping you from reinstalling TWRP and then, it will work as if nothing ever happened. If you need SuperSU, make sure to use SuperSU 2.62, earlier version may cause problem with Marshmallow. Also, if TWRP , ask if you want to install Root, click "Do not install" as it would install an older version of SuperSU. That's why you need to flash SuperSU 2.62 zipfile.
And if I want to keep TWRP?
Any chance someone could post a TWRP backup after installing the OTA?

You'll just have to reinstall TWRP after. No big deal, you can easily reinstall it afterward. That's what I did and TWRP is working perfectly as if nothing ever happened.
