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:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-slim6-t3414798/page1
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/ )

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:

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:

Hi, thanks for replying. I cannot post in the topic of the rom because I am new on the forum (what I get when I try to post something overthere).
Could you please explain me how to fix the permissions in CWM?
I am a beginner who been trying to fix his tablet for a week now, but I still dont understand everything since I cant put all my time on it... If its not about following tutorials step by step, i am lost...
I also tried the fast team one, without any success, when the rom is installed and the device is rebooted, this time the screen stay blocked on "samsung galaxy tab3" for years!!!
sorry, i meant the fast dream rom
I just tried to Flash three roms from sammobile.com (one from hong-kong, one from spain and one from germany) through Odin.
Everytime I get I click on AP to load the rom on odin, I get this message:"md5 error! Binary is invalid".
Since I have rooted the tablet using odin to instal CWM, when I boot the tablet in download mode, I can see:
- PRODUCT NAME: SM-T311
- CURRENT BINARY: Cusom
- SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Is it related? Someone help plz...
The question is do i really have to install a new rom, now that the tablet is rooted with CWM on it, can't do any manipulation to allow the chinese rom to accept google playstore etc...
My biggest problem with the chinese rom that comes with it is that i cant install download google playstore, i installed it but everytime i open it, it closes right away. Not google nor other google apps available neither since it was sold in china...

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?)

Hi, I have android l preview has secondary rom and I would like to know how to root it or flash a .zip for it. Thank you!
If I flash any .zip file by recovery. In which rom it will be installed? is it primary rom or secondary?

If you use the Install, Backup or Wipe options when you first get to recovery are your internal (primary) rom.
All secondary roms are located in Multirom/manage roms/
Please help me.

First make sure your bootloader and radio are up to date.
Regarding Tassadr's recovery flashable zips, I have one question: what will happen with google OTA updates? Since the recovery is not overwritten, I assume they wouldn't exactly work as usual. Any insight or precautions I should take?
So, these factory image zips don't have a recovery? And won't wipe my data/sdcard correct? So I 'should' be able to dirty flash over the dev preview. Or if not, I will at least still have my custom recovery to restore a nandroid?
So I flashed the lollipop stock rom, threw on super su and francos kernel as secondary rom, but I cannot connect to wifi. Any idea how to fix wifi?
The problem seems to be related to DHCP. I clicked on the advanced option and entered a static IP instead of DHCP and I was able to connect.
Why I can't see multirom boot menu? I press and hold volume up or down but nothing, why?

I'm trying to replace the curtain on team win. ive done it before on a different device (no multirom) by unpacking it with (http://www.techknow.me/forum/index.php?topic=6816.0) replacing the curtain.jpg with my custom one, repacking with the same program, and then flashing through flashify. (twrp manager didnt work. no idea why. and the phone couldnt fastboot flash so i couldnt test that, but flashify worked and it replaced the curtain perfectly). my nexus 5 w/ multirom recovery doesnt work though. unpack works. changing curtain works. repack works. but no method of flashing it works. no matter how i flash it, i dont seem to have a recovery. (booting to recovery sticks me at the google screen with the padlock) does anyone have success replacing the curtain or have any clue what im doing wrong? or if its possible?

Yep works no problem. I was able to use that method on Linux Mint and right on my Nexus 5.
Last question, Did u do it on a windows machine as well? I know Kitchen is a lot easier to install/works better on linux.

I've got an A700 that appears semi bricked. I can use fastboot to install a recover, and then use the recovery to install, say, OmniROM, but then I get freespace errors on the data partition when trying to install GAPPS, but otherwise OmniROM boots and runs seemingly fine. Wanting to start over from scratch so I can have Google Apps access, I try to install the stock ROM from Acer's site via the update.zip file, but TWRP and CWM both error out with an Error 7 (product name mismatch), so I edit the update script and remove the first line/product name check and get an Error 6 (Unsure why)...
My next course of action was to flash the stock recovery, so I could then hopefully flash the stock ROM, but I can't seem to find a live link. Can anyone help, or suggest another course of action?
Thanks

Thanks, but I don't see any stock recovery files in there. Am I missing it? Also, all the stock files I do see are EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), I'm pretty sure I would need the PA (Pan America) files since it was purchased in the US? Not sure if there's a difference
I have ran into a problem and came here for help. I was on Android 5.1.1 and I wanted to try omni and a slimsaber build of omni so I tried to flash with 2.8.7.0 and could not get it to boot, tried for days. So I wanted to try the recommended recovery, 2.8.6.0 and tried through fastboot, flashify and toolkits. And I am unable to change recovery. Fastboot flash results in a loop to the OnePlus Android logo but flashing 2.8.7.0 is a quick fix for that but it's the only recovery I can flash. I have never seen a phone not take a fastboot partiton flash. I have flashed back to stock.. Flashed OOS you name it I tried it. I know others have had this issue but never seen a fix posted. Anyone?
I have a .zip that can be flashed on TWRP v2.8.7.0, so as to get TWRP v2.8.6.0
I'll upload it if you want me to. Thank me later!
~noob (you gotta start from somewhere)
Download the img and when are you on the twrp, change zip to img and will appear the img and it will be possible apply it. Its really simple.

To change TWRP version, to upgrade or downgrade, you just have to download the Flashify app from PlayStore and let it do the job in about 10 seconds, without any issue :good:
Did anything work? I'm stuck with the same problem, except on 3.0.2.0 and downgrading out of the question I can't even make any other recovery work!!!
On the OnePlus One, was trying to flash Jgcaap's MM build.
There is no downgrading or upgrading like matters. You can flash any version of twrp via twrp, FIRST GO TO YOUR TWRP AND FLASH 2.8.6 OR 3.0.2 . BOTH HAS FLASH ANY ROMS WITHOUT PROBLEMS.

I already tried. -.- Wouldn't ask if I didn't run out of options.
The flash doesn't work, instead my recovery disappears and I reboot to system directly. Facing problems gives you experience, man :| Not a n00b here.
I found a typical kinda work around by trying this and that. Gonna create another thread to ask, now.
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!!

OKAY! So i have had some progress in the situation i got myself into! Now i just changed the sd card and tried to flash the ROM, so it didnt successfully flash, it says:
Zip file is corrupt!
Error installing zip file ..*the directory of the ROM*
This doesnt make sense though because i used the exact same ROM earlier and it worked, i used it for a whole day and it was fine...

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.

Yea i thought so too, thats why i downloaded the cm-13.0-20161117-NIGHTLY-espresso3g.zip, then i wiped and tried to flash this rom, this also gave me the same error,
i also noticed that before the lines
Zip file is corrupt
there was:
Checking for MD5 file. . .
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

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?
