Ok so I flashed the twrp for my Galaxy Tab s3 and everything went as planned but then when I go to boot in recovery mode it just boot loops till I just force it to stop and ten it will boot back in to my os but it will not allow me to boot in recovery mode to flash the supersu file any ideas guys? Really need to root this tablet and in a hurry so if anyone can shed some light on this that would be great also can not find the stock rom for this Tablet on any of the sites either
Has anyone rooted their Galaxy Tab S3?
I'd suggest reading the twrp/root thread, and finding the correct version of twrp to flash. I had to flash one of the versions that was posted later in the thread (I am running the firmware that shipped with my wifi tab S3) https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s3/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-0-1-samsung-galaxy-t3581359/post72228835#post72228835 Good luck...
edit: or flash this firmware from http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=1D0F4E90377111E7963AFA163EE8F90B. It should get you running then you should be able to follow the instructions from the twrp/root thread. (not sure what thread I saw this in to thank them....)

Hi I hope someone can help me. I have searched this forum but could not find a similar situation to what I ended up in...
I tried to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the CWM/Odin.
This seemed succesful but was not, it did not start but was stuck in the Samsung logo.
So I tried entering the CWM and download and install an original Samsung ROM. I can get it into CWM, but CWM cannot enter the download mode only the other mode.
In this mode all options are available:
- reboot
- apply update from SD card
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
All options have been tried without any luck. In the update from SD card it only shows ...
or Error opening /data/media: no such file or directory
Any ideas how I could get this directory back or put a ROM on the Samsung in this situation.
Odin does see the Galaxy but as I cannot get it into Download mode I am unable to download anything to it.
All or any suggestions are very welcome!
1. CWM (Clockworkmod) =! Odin.
In the beginning, you don't have CWM installed. You install CWM, by flashing CWM on your Phone with odin.
Odin is the Windows Programm, that is used to flash Recoveries/ROM's/Kernels onto your device.
2. it seems, that you still have the default Samsung recovery installed, that meand CWM is not yet flashed on your device.
If the flashing process was succesful (I suppose it was done with odin), but you can't get past the Samsung logo, that means, you probably flashed a rom, that isn't made for your device(ex. a GTab 10.1v Rom).
If you DID flash a wrong rom, then you probably ****ed up the partition table and removed the Download Mode(Odin Mode). Strange thing is, that you still have the Stock recovery.
Could you please redirect us to the rom you downloaded?
Also, did you flash with a repartition on and/or a .pit file?
hi Kaukassus,
thanks for the reply.
OK I checked the files and what I did.
I think I totaly screwed this up. It was a theme I tried to install the AOSP_HC_v1.3_3G+KI1.
I rooted the Tab. So first when the Tab was still functioning installed it on the TAB via USB.
Than tried to install this via update from SD card.
This appeared to work initially. But hung at the start.
After that I tried (via Power Volume Up) wipe data/factory reset.
No luck.
After that I tried wipe cache partition followed by wipe data/factory reset.
And this is what I got now..
Bad news is the Tab was/is a X-mas present and I managed to screw it up even before I officially got it !-(
The valuable lesson you're learning is that you need to be aware exactly what things you're flashing and their compatibility with your device and the software it's running.
You haven't mentioned what specific device you're using or the specific things you've tried to flash (as kaukassus pointed out, direct links to threads where you got the files you tried to flash are best). Not sure if you're aware but not all GT 10.1's are equal; there are several models out there and each and every ROM is specific to a particular device. Verizon LTE GT 10.1's like mine can't take ROMs from any other device for example, it's likely that the new T-Mobile 4G one's wont be able to trade ROMs with Verizon ones . . you get the point.
When you say you installed via USB what exactly did you mean? If you simply copied a zip file via USB to the tab to flash in recovery mode that's not installing; the flashing from recovery may be but the file copy operation is not. If on the other hand you pushed things via ADB or you flash using Odin software then that's a different story.
Best thing to do at this point is to properly identify your device, look for a stock recovery image for Odin and flash that via Odin to your device. At that point you can start from scratch again to build what you want.
Thanks Muzzy996.
You are right. I was in a rush and should have taken more time.
However I am getting somewhere. Managed to get in download mode twice today, don't ask me how. This Tab just will not go into download mode!
However I did not have the stock ROM ready to be installed.
Will keep you updated.
i have the same problem. i just rooted my device was going to overclock. decided to save my rom with rom manager. saved it device went to reboot now the samsung galaxy 10.1 shows up screen goes dim then shuts off, and will cont. do this. i can get into download mode but recovery will not work. is there anyway to download my stock rom. im using verizion 4g 10.1 any help would be great, btw sorry to thread jack
Problem solved.
Managed to get it in download mode again and install stock rom via Odin.
Appeared to work fine. But kep switching off, even after full night of charging.
This morning Tab was dead after recharging whole night..
Got it back on by holding volume down and power button down.
i found a stock rom and im trying to upload it via odin, however odin does not find my tab? any ideas. btw congrats on getting ur tab back
I crashed both my I9000 (galaxy s) flashing custom roms and my tab 10.1 (editing some system files) both ended up just looping but managed to get both back. I purchased a small connector of ebay £1.59 that has just a resistor accross pins 4&5 331k I think anyway plugging this into most samsung devices boots them into download mode. Even before getting my resistor I managed to get things working I think that you'd have to be properly unlucky to really brick a samsung I've flashed both my devices with all sorts of crap with my little resistor I just reset them with ease.

did you ever resolve this issue? i am currently faced with the same issue.
hey guys. just want to start by saying im a NOOB in the rooting/flashing world so i'll greatly appreciate your patients.
now, I had my glaxy tab 10.1 rooted and was running clockworkmod 4.4 and wanted to upgrade that to the new 5.5.0.4, I went to the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
and downloaded the zip file and installed it on to my tab (P7510UW) and now i cant get into recovery. Im not sure where I've gone wrong but if someone can help me get back into recovery that would be awesome. And also if someone can explain why this would happen and how i can prevent this in the future, would be great.
I am running the AOKP rom 4.0.4 if that helps.
again, any and all help is appreciated
thanks.
That recovery isn't for the 10.1 that's why it didn't work. Grab the correct recovery and you won't have a problem.

Thanks for the info. Any idea on how I can install the new recovery? Because when I try to boot into recovery my tablet just turns off. Is there a how to guide or something I should be following?
Thanks
Grab the correct recovery for your tab from the development section. Boot into download mode on the tab and Oden the modified recovery.
Are you even able to get the device to the download mode...???
ok, I', usually pretty good at rooting and such having my galaxy S4 for many years now but I got this Galaxy Star for work just to use it off wifi and bluetooth but it had 4.1 and i needed it on 4.4 for it to work so I knew i needed to root it, load recovery and find an updated rom.
I Odin'd CWM recovery and all I got was a white screen when going into recovery mode. didnt matter what i tried. I wound up flashing a file that also wiped out my download screen, now all I see it a blueish/white screen for download mode, but I can odin files ok.
I've tried every stock recovery hard reset file i can find online and nothing helps. Any help is appreciated. Is there any samsung stock firmware somehere that wipes everything???
Model: GT-S7262
and I seem to have bricked it now, wont even power up after flashing a phillipine version of the firmware.
well, no more white screen but now I have no display at all. still goes into download mode though.

I came from a Galaxy S4 too
You need to flash FireLord1's CWM 6.0.5.1 on stock ROM, otherwise you will get a whitescreen trying to enter.
I know it works with both Indian and Eaten European firmwares.
ok, so i need a link to a the stock rom and his CWM. I can find indian firmware i think.
Weird thing is, I can hear it boot up, Samsung Kies and Odin see it just fine. Just a black screen for everything now.
got it back working with this firmware..

Don't know if I'm posting in the right place or not but I do apologize before hand.
Now I've been trying to get twrp recovery installed on my Samsung j1 ace (j110m) android version 5.1.1 with no luck it was flashed successfully via odin but it wouldn't boot the custom recovery just the normal one I've tried other versions of twrp for this device but still no luck
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Again I apologize if this is not the right place to post this

A liitle more information like which model and a link to the twrp you flashed would help but some sammy devices have a quirk. Untick reboot when finished before you flash then once flashing is completed unplug the phone and reboot straight into recovery rather than rebooting the phone
https://dl.twrp.me/j1acelte/
This is the link I used the model is in the previous comment Samsung J1 Ace (J110M) yes I did unchecked reboot but the phone just went into a boot loop after so I flashed the original recovery file and it went back to normal
