Rooting problems Samsung GT-P5200 - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please I can't find clear guide or reacheble files to root with odin my tablet, I've been looking for the last 3 days a correct twrp recovery file that works. They're all unreacheble I only found a file: "CF-Auto-Root-santos103g-santos103gxx-gtp5200.tar" that I insert with Odin but then when the process finishes ( with PASS ) the tab won't reboot and remains on the Samsung logo. So I reinstall everytime this file: "P5200XXUBNK1_P5200ITVBNK1_P5200XXUBNK1_HOME.tar" and reworks but the device remains unrooted and without the twrp bootloader. What should I do? Please help. Thanks!

hi guys,
This is my first thread so please dont mind my mistakes
im here just try to provide possible answers to them , who were looking for "Security Fail" error while flashing Bada firmware over wave 1 2 or 3,
i hve able to recover my wave 1 from security fail error, and successfully flashed my wave1,
if you have security fail errors, try latest Multiloader v5.67 , (dont try older versions)
download Multiloader v5.67 from here http://www.mediafire.com/?s59s0xq99uj5bq7
after connecting phone with PC via USB in Download mode , check LIS checkbox,
if you want to flash boot file, check Boot Change(only boot change no other checkboxes) and load boot files from your downloaded firmware folder, after selecting boot files press download, wait for massage 'wait for reset', your phone will try to reboot but it will stuck at bada logo, dont worry, pull your battery, make your phone again in download mode , press PORT Search ,now uncheck all check boxes except LIS, (do not select Full Download , Master Rom or Diffrances only) now select Amss, Rsrc, Rsrc2(low), facotryFs, apps compressed, CSC, ShpApp, and fota file from downloaded Firmware folder to their respective fields, and press Download, wait untill massage "All files completed". your phone will boot if not try battery pull and again boot your phone, once booted do factory reset using this code *2767*3855#,
thats it

hope it help others also,
please forgive me for my english
Take care
I tried flashing all the files but the phone is now stuck in the samsung loading screen. Please help

pit files for i317 and i317m

As a general FYI, if you think you need to repartition your phone it is also possible that your phone has experienced:
a) A hardware issue, possibly partial or total emmc failure.
b) A mismatch between bootloader (sboot.bin) and trustzone (tz.img) versions. See this post or my MK6 stock thread for some possible options to fix this.
As a step of last resort to recreate the partition table on your phone, a pit file may be what you need. This can be done in either Odin or Heimdall.
Warning - repartitioning your phone may erase all data and might cause other unintended consequences. You assume all risk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use a pit file in Odin, this is typically done as part of a flashing a stock rom package, like the LJ2 or MA4 package for the i317 (or similar package for the i317m). You specify the pit file in the PIT section, make sure the repartition box is checked, and then add the rom package in the PDA section like usual.
If you are running an official 4.3 or later bootloader you will not be able to successfully flash a stock firmware package that contains earlier bootloaders - Odin will hang and you will need to find a different stock package to flash that does not contain a bootloader. (i.e. If you took the the i317 4.3 OTA and are running the MK6 bootloader or a later bootloader, you'll want to avoid UCAMA4)
The attached zip includes pit files for both the i317 and the i317m. The partition mapping is the same for both (see the included analysis files), but the pit files have unique security signatures which are accepted only by the bootloader of the specific model phone for which they are intended. I've tested the file for the i317 and can confirm that it works as intended. The file for the i317m was pulled the same way by an XDA member (thanks @plemen !) with an i317m and I've confirmed it is formatted correctly. It has now been confirmed as working.
If you want to learn a bit more about pit files, check out this thread by Adam Outler:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540480
Very interested in this, as I need the pit file for my I317. Question about the bootloader, though.... I've never taken an OTA, just flashing CM and OmniROM nightlies (was on 4.4.2 when my phone committed suicide). Should I be safe to use this pit file? And what factory firmware would you recommend to go with it?
pit files should be back in a day or two (I'll be testing over the weekend).
Depending on what happened to your phone it's still highly probable that your pit (partition) data is fine. There's a way to confirm this using Heimdall - when time permits I'll add instructions to post #2. That's a safer first step than attempting a repartition.
As for bootloader and firmware - if you've never taken an OTA, and you're not on a 4.3 bootloader your best bet for stock firmware is UCAMA4. It's a more complete and somewhat newer package than the other option (UCALJ2). You can get this from sammobile, or a mirror copy I have linked in post #2 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
that post also has information on a couple apps you can load that will allow you to check which bootloader you have loaded once your phone is operational.
Thanks for doing this! Did you have any luck over the weekend? Looking to re-partition as I'm unable to mount.

I expected a test phone on Saturday that didn't arrive until Tuesday thanks to the USPS getting the day off on Monday. Once I confirm the files work as intended I will repost them.
As for the issue you are having - what partition isn't mounting? Can you provide more detail?

The Note 2 (ATT) suddenly rebooted and stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen. A couple reboots and a battery pull did not solve the issue. I even let the phone stay on the screen in the event it needed to do some sort of repair.. but after an hour, nothing changed.
I loaded CWM recovery and got recovery mount errors. Also, I am unable to mount any of the internal file system when attempting from the advanced menu. After a couple of hours of following tutorials I went into download mode and installed the stock ATT rom. It was successful but still did not boot (attempted this twice). I came upon a few suggestions for similar issues that said the PIT file was needed to repartition. I used Beanstalk 4.4.2 before the crash.

The symptoms you describe are similar to those I've seen on the Q&A forum recently. I don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I suspect you have a partial emmc (hardware) failure.
My time during the week is limited so I expect to have testing done this weekend.

The files provided are only for phone I317 and not I317M
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490003986
Instructions:
1. Download "back to stock" zip folder I uploaded. It contains all the files needed. No need to search around.
2. Unzip the file and extract the folder to your desktop.
3. Open folder and install Samsung drivers if not already done so.
4. Now make sure you have root and custom recovery on the phone. Turn the phone off. Hold volume up, home and power button at the same time.Wait till u see custom recovery screen and then let go off all the buttons.
5. Once in recovery... delete data, system, cache, dev cache like you want to flash a new rom. Turn the phone off by pulling the battery or see option for power off device under custom recovery.
6. Once the phone is completely off lets get into download mode. Hold volume down, home and power button until you see the screen with an option to press volume up to get into download. Press volume up to enter download mode when asked.
7. Now open odin3.07 I provided in the folder u downloaded. Once open connect your phone via usb. Windows should install device drivers. Once thats done, you should see com## on the Odin software.
8. On odin software you should see button called PDA. Click on it and browse to the file called KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user _low_ship.tar. in the folder provided by me. select it and hit ok. Odin will process the file. It will take max 2 to 3 min.
9. Before you click start on Odin make sure auto reboot and F. reset time is checked only. Everything else unchecked. Click start button. Odin will start flashing the factory firmware. It will take time.
10. Once Odin is done flashing. phone will reboot. Now you can disconnect the usb cable. When phone is fully rebooted, skip all the prompt and get to home screen.
11. Turn the phone off again and get into download mode. Connect usb cable to computer with Odin open. Click Pda and select file called CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar. Let Odin process it and then click start. Once flashing the root file is done. Phone should reboot to home screen. Now you have root. The reason we need root is to get rid of counter # in download more. It should say zero.
12. Connect your phone to computer while on the home screen. Open phone internal storage and go to download folder and copy Triangle away.apk into it.
13. Go into settings and security and check unknown sources.
14. Go to apps and open application "my file". Go to download folder and select triangle away application to install. install it. Open application application and scroll down and select reset counter option. Make sure your are connected to wifi. Confirm you phone is I317 and triangle away will download the file. Your phone should reboot into some type of reset counter recovery screen. follow the instruction on the screen to reset the counter. After that phone should reboot.
15. Once rebooted uninstall triangle away apk. Now open super user application and scrool down and click fully unroot. When done go into stock recovery and clear data and cache. reboot phone. All done. Your counter is set to zero. Your phone should read normal under settings.
You can update your phone under settings from att servers.
Enjoy.
Thanks to chainfire for his triangle away app and root for our device.

Nice job Zen

Pit files are back up and attached to the OP. The i317 pit file is tested and confirmed working.
The i317m file is identical, except for the security signature. I'm currently looking for someone with a healthy i317m willing to test flash the i317m pit file to confirm it works. (I would do this myself, but I don't have an i317m).
Unfortunately it did not work for me. emmc failure suspected. Strange thing is that in ODIN I can still "Successfully" install a ROM.. and even the PIT file succeeded. I still got a logo screen for several minutes.
Fortunately for me, I have an additional mainboard from a otherwise damaged note 2. I'll be swapping that out.
Thank you anyway. Hope your file helps others!
My phone was not booting and stopped at Samsung logo. After the pit file and stock rom, my phone is live again. I am still having issue with storage but at least I have good starting point.
thanks
Works fine on i317m

I have never used skipsoft but I know that you cannot downgrade the 4.3 bootloader.
Try this:
1) Download ODIN and extract the zip file from here.
2) Download this file and then extract it. The extracted file will have a tar.md5 extension.
3) Boot your phone in-to download mode by i) turn off phone ii) hold volume down + home then press power iii) on prompt press volume up.
4) Start Odin on your pc(windows) with admin rights, (right click and run as admin).
5) Now connect your phone to PC, on ODIN if you see a message that phone is connected.(ID:COM tab on left will turn blue)
6) Click PDA tab and browse the extracted file, it will take couple of minute to verify md5 and then once it's done
7) Auto reboot and F.Reset time options are checked by default, leave them as it is and make sure no other options are selected/checked on ODIN.
8) Click Start
8) Let ODIN do it's job, phone will reboot automatically.

I figured out that this is causing due to corrupted internal sdcard partition.Anyone give me a solution.How to fix a corrupted internal sdcard partition
I Fixed it by myself.
IF you also facing this you can fix it by this method
1. Run Odin with Administrator Privileges. Hope everyone is familiar with using Odin
2.Connect your Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 inn Download Mode (HOLD Volume Down+Home Button+Power) and see phone gets detected by Odin.
3. Click on the PIT Button in Odin and select the .pit file you have downloaded.
4. Click on PDA, and Browse for the original Stock Firmware File of Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082.
5. Ensure that The Checkboxes Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time are checked.

Thanks for sharing.
But don't forget, pit file usually different from device to device, just certain is the same. If wrong pit file flashed to wrong device, might brick it.

Fix Softbrick for S20 series if you Odin flash the device with FRP on

Hello,
Because I am an idiot I forgot to turn off the FRP lock on my device before flashing with ODIN and ended up with a brick.
After searching for some time, I found the solution to this problem and I will share it with you so you don't have to search again.
The phone will be stuck in a blue screen so use FRP hijacker to get out of the "an error occured" screen ( link:
) and reboot to Download screen.
Download the appropriate software with the correct binary for your device and unzip it.
Extract the PIT file from the CSC file unzipped above, and use it with ODIN in the PIT tab ( https://www.droidviews.com/extract-samsung-pit-file-from-firmware/ )
Flash the device as you would normally do.
