Flashing using Odin3 v1.87:
Flash the *.tar.md5 file as PDA
Make sure "Re-Partition" and "F. Reset Time" unchecked,
"Auto Reboot" checked!
Flashing using Heimdall:
extract cache.img and recovery.img in *.tar.md5 file first
SuperSU v2.74 from Chainfire
TWRP Recovery 3.0.2-1
Single step for TWRP recovery and root!
Based off single step root made by @ketut.kumajaya but he doesn't develop for it anymore so I took over.
Tested on P3113 but should work on all devices. This includes all 7" and 10.1" model Galaxy Tab 2!

Hi @Skazzy3, @Android-Andi
I know that it's an old thread, but I was wondering if you still had the files you provided in the OP.
Because links are broken (but since it's been more that 3 years, that pretty normal lol)
Not sure. Not sure if I find time soon to dig around on my PC. You'd better use an up to date TWRP and root from there if needed.

P31xx and P51xx don't have a locked bootloader.
You only need Odin and the recovery.tar.md5 or heimdall and recovery.img

Only note that you have to directly boot into recovery after flashing, else stock recovery get restored at boot

THANKS A LOT, you just saved me a lot of time
It doesn't work
I have watched a video named "How to upgrade Samsung Tab 10.1 P7500 P7510 SGH-T859 from Android 3 to Nougat + Roms full class 2019" and did all steps.
I've rooted my Tab 2 GT-P51000 with SuperSU succesfully. Now I've put CWM 6.0.5.1 (for my device) in Odin 3.11 into AP and started it. But when I self reboot (like it's shown in the video) my device didn't started the recoverie. My tablet just started normal and I've tried it 30 times.
Can anyone pls help

following this guilde you need custom recovery to root so you can't use root app's without root
Can any one say whether the Canadian 4.4.2 has multi user enabled, if not has any one tried to apply the multi user hack.
Newbie question. If I wanted to temporarily disable the root so that apps which may have an issue with rooted device can continue to work how would this be done. I saw in one forum where someone said they were only able to do this with the 4.2.2 ROM.
Legendsmoker -
I just got prompted when starting KIES for the KitKat update. I have the US version of the Tab 3 10.1 (5210). I assume I can use your root steps to root the US KitKat firmware?
Here's what KIES says:
Current firmware version : PDA:NB2 / CSC:NB2 (XAR)
Latest firmware version : PDA:NH2 / CSC:NH2 (XAR)

Use the xposed framework and there is a plugin called rootcloak.
Fix?
I recently did the Samsung update to Android 4.4.2. I've tried multiple times to root my device, but each time, the SuperSu has not functioned properly. The first time it would not update correctly, so I tried a different .zip and the SuperSu in that one would freeze every time I would try to use it. Will this fix the problems I am having?

You are great. My months long research finally ended in this small post of yours. I have a samsung galaxy on5 chinese model sm-g5500 and I was trying to install gapps on it with no success. I have almost given up searching since its a rare model and there are no custom recovery or custom roms for this model available. But this twrp worked and i am able to flash gapps. Thank you very much. I had to pull the cable and battery immediately after odin shows 'pass' message otherwise it will replace the same old stock recovery after reboot. Not sure mine will be replaced after the next reboot but that doesn't matter because my job is done.

Hi guys! Welcome back to another R&R guide and I've been tricking out the AT&T Galaxy S4 of one of my friends, Laguire, and decided to make this guide. So as usual here comes the requirements, followed by a detailed and noob-friendly guide and download links whatsoever. If you have any questions about the guide, you know what to do underneath. This guide is my riskiest guide EVER, so use it at your own risk. Don't blame me if it dies.
Requirements
A PC running Windows
Your AT&T S4
Samsung USB cable(not neccesary to be Samsung's, as long as it is the same type)
A stable Internet connection
How-To
1. Download files to the correct devices:
-Root ZIP -> S4
-Odin and Recovery -> PC\
2. Connect your device to the PC via USB cable
3. Boot into download mode (Power off > Power and Volume Down)
4. Run Odin
5. Uncheck the Auto Reboot box.
6. Click AP and locate the MD5 file you downloaded earlier
7. Click OK or Start(haven't been using Odin recently)
8. Wait for the first box above to say PASS
9. Power off your S4 and unplug the cable.
10.Boot into recovery mode(Power+Volume up)
11.Tap Install > Locate to the folder where you downloaded the Root zip earlier > Select
12.Swipe to flash
13.After finished reboot your S4 and download Root Checker to check root
Done! Your AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 is now officially rooted!

It is probably for SGH-i337 with exploitable old bootloaders (MDB, MDL). Odin and TWRP is a new one but superSU is 2 years old.
How It Will Works ? I Think Not Possible To Install TWRP ! .... Because AT&T i337 Locked Bootloader ... How I Will Install This ?
Sorry guys, I haven't noticed that Laguire's I337 is the old version. Sorry again for the convenience though.
I have a smart question >.< :/.
Does this work for the Galaxy S4 I337..OC4<-- kernel? lollipop*
Thank you!
Does this work with build ok2?
And why is this considered the riskiest???
This seems to be for phones with the MDB and MDL firmware as if you try to flash TWRP recovery on any other firmware, it won't install.
its not warking for me i get this problem : E: Failed to mount / system (Invalid argument) is there any Solution

This guide is for the MDB and MDL bootloaders that can use the Loki doki patch. Once you've upgraded your firmware, there's no going back.

I'm on oc4 rooted, I tried flashing twrp 3230 using flashify...
Big mistake tried to boot into recovery and it said I wasnt using official at&t software and had me stuck until I finally found if I set odin to autostart 1 after flashing the stock kernel it will boot up.... trying to find a recovery to use atm
I thought that the carriers locked the bootloader sometime before kitkat, I'm still using my AT&T sg4. I looped it installing superuser,had a difficult time getting fixed,found a group of F/W files at sammobile that had to be flashed 1 at a time all the way up to lollipop 5.0 then it took an OTA to 5.01. I need to Root so I can clean out all the useless apps at&t installs. I haven't been able to tether my tablet and forgot what files to use to root with.
Did you still have bootloader you use Recovery on,that would be great.

The only recovery you can use is the stock recovery given you are on OC4 which patched the bootloader exploit that allowed TWRP to be installed.

You are correct, AT&T locked the bootloader from day 1 of the S4 launch. However, there was an exploit for the MDL firmware that allowed TWRP to be installed. If you updated past MDL then there's no going back. MDL was Android 4.2.2 jellybean. The only thing you can do with later firmware is root and boot custom TW ROMs by using safe strap for kit kat and flash fire for lollipop.
Hi All,
I have a Canadian S4, SGH-I337M. It is essentially identical to the AT&T version except the Canadian one's bootloader is UNLOCKED. I have been running TWRP 3.1.1-0 to create nandroid backup for YEARS.
Unfortunately, all the sudden I'm getting this error message when I backup, "E: Another threaded action is already running -- not running 1 actions starting with 'nandroid'". It would try to do something and then quit after a minute without creating anything.
So where do I start to troubleshoot this issue? Again, it has always worked in the past! Thank you

Are you sure the Canadian version's boot loader is unlocked? When I go in download mode there is still this line "Write protect enabled" on...
so I do have an S4 on the MDL bootloader, and i've followed all the steps but I can't flash TWRP.
pretty much every link is dead for the i337 root now except for this which doesn't appear to work. if someone is able to provide the loki, motochopper, and other necessary files for this device so i can get this paperweight loki'd, that would be sweet.
Hey. I did and successfully tested the mod of stock firmware 6.0 T585XXU2AQA2 SEK region (Ukraine, although it does not matter).
The bottom line is that, you install via Odin the firmware itself and the custom recovery - TWRP , that is, two in one . And after successfully installation firmware via Odin automatically opens immediately TWRP, where I recommend immediately to install SuperSU or latest magisk and then fix or attach below . In result we have a stock firmware with TWRP and root.
Notice. Do factory reset before flashing.
P.S. I tried this mod over current 6.0 rom with installed TWRP. I think if try this mod without installed TWRP you need checked internal memory. If you have 0mb you need to do Format data before flashing supersu and fix.

UPDATE. I did mod based on the 8.1 OS firmware
Latest builds no need fix only magisk!
Downloads all builds for SM-T585 and SM-T580(Updatable)
Importantly :
If you have issue with download change your browser to Firefox or use downloader.

Hello, I have a simple question. I am getting the SM-T585 soon and found your thread while searching for TWRP for that tablet. I like the idea of having stock with the custom recovery. I have currently the Tab 9.7 with uses a single file for firmware. The question I have is where in odin do I put the HOME file? or can that one be skipped? Thanks in advance for any responses that answer this. Peace

CSC HOME saved your data . CSC OXE format your data . Do your choice.
Next 3 files to appropriate tabs : BL to BL , AP to AP , CP to CP .
Hello,
I have a tablet SM-T585
I have used your "Simplest method to get ROOT & TWRP"(https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/root-t3674409) to get root with SuperSU : it works perfectly.
I have used ODIN to flash TWRP : no problem.
After some modifications on the Settings,I made a BackUP.
Now my question : is it possible to install this Backup via ODIN ?
Thanks for your advice

No , only you can restore your backup via TWRP.

UPDATE. I made another mod based on the firmware T585XXU2BRB2 with cut userdata and without CSC. TWRP latest 3.2.1-0 from @followmsi. CSC can not be added to Odin, it remains the same.
