[Q] Issues installing TWRP - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) running on Android 4.4.2. Rooting did go well (had to reboot a few times before knox disabled). I tried root checker and its OK.
I then would install TWRP. I downloaded the latest version for my device (2.8.0.0) and tried to flash the IMG with Flashify.
It said complete and rebooted into Stock recovery! Something did go wrong.. I tried TWRP manager (app from app store) to install TWRP, but it wants BusyBox.
I tried to install Busy box but it said it had a problem with installation and said I could try another directory.
I did, and again the same error. I couldnt find the file busybox in system/bin nor system/xbin.
What might the problem be? Should I continue, or is my device unstable and might I brick it?
Edit: Or would Odin do the trick and flash TWRP properly?

This is common and someone should answer already!!

[Q] Dlashimg SuperSU fails to root my device

I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. I flashed a prerooted stock version of KitKat and I think root was working. But now for some reason it doesn't work. I flashed the supersu zip (v1.80) via TWRP recovery but after rebooting, the SuperSU app doesn't even show up on my device. When I install manually from thr Play Store it's as if I'm not rooted. I've flashed the zip multiple times and I do not want to factory reset and delete all my data (especially since I really can't backup without root atm). Any ideas?
Edit: sorry about the post title typo. *flashing

[Q] SuperSU keeps stopping

I am on stock 4.3 and used the CF-autoroot to root my S3. When my phone rebooted it said unfortunately SuperSU has stopped. So, I googled the problem and someone said to download the latest apk and it should work. I did that and SuperSU did work and I installed titanium backup to make sure. However, after I installed Xposed and rebooted, it said that SuperSU has stopped again and I can't go in the app. Will I have to update it every time by downloading the apk when I reboot? When I go in the playstore it just says open and not uninstall or update.
Edit: Ignore the thread. I got it working after flashing the KNOX remover and flashing the latest SuperSU through TWRP.

Everytime I try and flash anything in recovery it reboots

So i was trying to flash hacker kernel
It bootlooped.
So i reflashed renegade and tried reflashing.
it rebooted
now everytime i try and flash anything it reboots
super su is missing.
I installed super su from play store
when i go to flash binaries it reboots.
I updated TWRP
still same thing.
If i flash anything it just boots back to recovery.
Any thoughts?
Flashed back to stock and rerooted.
Did the trick.
Would you consider editing the topic to add the word "solved" please? The might help give others direction.
So when you started out from stock, you used Odin to install TWRP, but then thought you could get rooted by installing SuperSu from the Play store, which did not work.
Proper steps are to install TWRP using Odin with SuperSU on your phone. After TWRP is installed, instead or rebooting completely, reboot to Recovery and flash SuperSU that way.
Is that about right, @phelony?

No I had previously been rooted fine and dandy. for some reason TWRP started just rebooting on any flash.
so is it not going into bootloop mode anymore? because i've been having this problem for the last 6 months. i thought i'd try again and still doing the same, it'll get to the setup at the beginning and then reboot back to twrp????

SM-T217S Kingroot worked?

I got a galaxy tab 3 (sm-t217s) given to me and had a wild hair to root it so i natually looked up some auto root methods after towelroot didnt work and was pointed to Kingroot. Never used it before and not sure if im regretting it yet or not. I obviously have root access because i can install and use root only apps but i tried downloading supersu (before realizing that kingroot also installs its own super user app) but it wouldnt successfully update the binaries. Also there seems to be no custom recovery options availablefor me to directly install from the device, all have tobe done via Odin. My big main question is would i be fine to use Flashify or Rashr to flash a custom rom or a custom recovery file i downloaded?
Yeah You can Use flashify Or Download TWRP Manager From Playstore and select Samsung Tab 3 lteltmo And Then install it ..it'll install successfully And you can use The custom ROMs to flash it via TWRP..

Sweet I'll try it out. I kinda figured it would work but better safe than slaving on Odin later reflashing stock firmware
Please repot your sucess..
It works or at least did for me. With the kingo su thing that came with it I just installed titanium backup and uninstalled the kingosu and then installed supersu via store and/or flashing n custom recovery if I already flashed it using flashfire/twrp/flashify.

G928TUVU4DPK6 Firmware Root Issues

Has anyone upgraded their firmware to PK6 and attempted to root? I don't have any issues flashing TWRP with Odin. None whatsoever. When I flash a SuperSU zip or a PHH Superuser zip, I cannot get past the T-Mobile boot animation. It freezes every time. Once this happens I cannot boot to recovery. I can only boot to Download Mode. Hell, I can't even power down my device after I flash a root zip. Just curios if anyone has dealt with this issue. I have attempted to flash SuperSu zips starting with the 2.71 Beta up to the 2.78 SR5 with zero luck. I've also tried with PHH Superuser and I get the same results. Can anyone shed and light on the subject?
After several failed attempts to root my Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928T) with the latest firmware update to 6.0.1, G928TUVU4DPK6, this is what I had to do to get a working root solution. At no time did I ever have a problem installing TWRP with Odin. Ive been using Odin 3.12.3 but I had the same issues with Odin 3.10.7.
I started with a clean slate and performed a fresh install of the stock firmware which I downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...al/sm-g928t-stock-odin-g928tuvu4dpk6-t3516310
After flashing the stock firmware with Odin 3.12.3 I did the basic setup on my device to make sure I could boot and everything was working. Next, I shut down my device and booted to Download Mode by using the key combination of Volume Down + Home + Power. Once booted into Download Mode I used Odin again to flash TWRP 3.0.2-0, which is available here:
https://dl.twrp.me/zenltetmo/
After the flash was complete I booted to recovery using Volume Up + Home + Power. When TWRP starts it will ask you if you want to swipe to allow system modification. If you swipe to allow system modifications you will trigger DM-Verity and you will not be able to boot normally unless you flash a custom kernel that has DM-Verity disabled in the fstab or you can flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip that I dowloaded from here:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
The newest version available is 5.0
So, I swiped to allow system modifications. Next, I transferred the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip from my PC to my device and installed the zip in TWRP. Once this was completed, I transferred my root zip from my PC to my device. I used the PHH Superuser to root my device which is available here:
https://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip
I installed the root zip in TWRP, wiped cache/dalvik cache and then selected Reboot System. I didnt know if I would be able to boot or not. I could never get past the T-Mobile boot animation each time I attempted to root this damn thing but low and behold everything went as planned and I was fully booted up and running. I went through the setup wizard and everything was working as it should.
I am using PHH Superuser instead of Chainfires SuperSU. Its a personal choice for me as I have been using PHH Superuser since the hand off of SuperSU to a new company, CCMT, LLC.
Once I was finally able to boot normally I downloaded PHH's app in the Play Store from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
This is just my experience of what I had to do to get root working on my S6 Edge+. All of my root apps are working as designed. I cant remember the last time I didnt have a rooted device and it was starting to bother me. I was having root withdrawals. If anyone decides to upgrade to the latest firmware from T-Mobile and wants a working root solution, here is what worked for me. I have not tried to use Chainfires SuperSU again. If you dont want to use PHH Superuser and wanted to use SuperSU instead, try to insert SuperSU in place of PHH Superuser and see what happens. Do this at your own risk because I have not tested it with this solution that I found. Good luck. Happy Rooting!!

I tried that version too and I ended up with the same problem each time. I figured it out last night though. Im going to update my OP with the steps I had to take to get it working and that way if anyone upgrades to the latest PK6 firmware for their G928T and has this problem my thread is available with a solution.
