This has not been tested by me and is still experimental. I hold no responsibility for any
problems caused. YOU! Are trying this at your own risk. Don't blame me that I wasted your $$$.
Put a scare in you didn't I?

Nothing to be credited for, until the device boots to CWM

How do you flash this custom recovery with ODIN?, what version?, thanks

I flash the file 2 times and it said pass but when reboot to recovery is stock so I don't know what went wrong

I added the zip to the pda area and flash Odin v3.07

I installed the image with ADB.
put the recovery image on the sdcard mount or ext sdcard mount
ADB to the note 8.0
su to root
go to your image directory
dd if=xxx.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
switch back to the note and reboot directly to recovery (i used goomanager)
it does boot the first time - but it is jittery and in landscape mode.
after the first system boot- the device wipes it and goes back to stock recovery.
I have seen this with other stock android devices- sometimes there
is a script that gets triggered on boot to remove any custom recoveries.
I did clear the recovery check from CWM - but it was hard to see because of the
landscape mode and the screen jumping around.
It looks like the full backup is working- now I wonder what ROM will be close enough
to the 8.0 to try flashing.

Found this Q&A in the Note 10.1 rooting guide in RootGalaxyNote.com:
Q: I don’t see ClockworkMod Recovery when I enter recovery, I see stock Android recovery.
A: With newer software updates, you may be encountering this error because it will overwrite ClockworkMod Recovery upon reboot. To get around this, simply boot into ClockworkMod Recovery right after flashing in ODIN. You can set auto-reboot off in ODIN then when done, just hold down Power and Volume Down straight to bootloader menu.
This may have been the problem.

To get it to stop resetting to stock recovery every time you reboot, under /system, there is a file named "recovery-from-boot.p". Rename it to .bak or whatever. That file is typically the culprit for custom recoveries not 'sticking'.
Also, we don't have a factory image yet, do we? I'm hesitant to mess too much with this stuff until we have a way to Odin ourselves out of a softbrick.

Also, to the OP, thanks for doing this. I'm pretty familiar with adb if you'd like to do TWRP. Would love to have it instead of CWM!

Yeah, But i'd like to keep, just incase something goes insanely wrong. The stock recovery.img is provided, you can always flash back it something goes wrong. And i am readying up TWRP, may need you to pull some logs if it doesnt boot

I will be releasing a full Note 8.0 Toolkit today or tomorrow with support to rename the stock recovery restore files so that custom recovery isnt overwritten after flashing. If anyone wants to help test please email me at [email protected]
Mark.

Attached is a tar of recovery.log pulled with ADB while booted to CWM.
The display goes to landscape on boot - and the fonts seem extra large.
When the vol up/down navigates the screen jumps and you can't see the
highlighted option.
It is usable with trial and error if you know the order of the CWM menus and
use the vol up/down and power to navigate.

Only thing I can judge by that are the missing mount types for the recovery.fstab. Ill fix that now. But someone, try keeping the device physically portrait and see if cwm works properly then, if not then physically landscape.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S try using touch input, its a touch recovery, or so I built it
^thats why fonts are large
^thats why there are no indicators

I tried changing orientation before boot - it always goes to landscape.
I attached 2 images - one is the display after the first CWM boot.
The second is after pressing Vol Up to navigate to the 2nd menu option.
I have seen jumpy CWM presentation like this on some smaller screens like the
Sony Xperia 2011/2012 phones.

[Recovery] & [Root] [T211] CWM Recovery v6.0.4.9.KK Unofficial

READ THIS POST BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY
Updated to CWM v6.0.4.9.KK on 10-28-14. Now works properly with KitKat bootloader.
Now with SELinux enabled kernel for flashing roms that require it.
Click HERE for the latest version.
Compiled from source.
@ketut.kumajaya has provided us with a kernel for CWM recovery.
Here is CWM recovery for the T211.
Please report any bugs here in this thread.
It takes a few seconds longer for CWM to boot than the stock recovery, so be patient.
Credits go to:
@ketut.kumajaya for working kernels
@Jamison904 for giving us root
@hkjr for getting ketut to help
@k.aibutsu and @Unjustified Dev for there device source work
and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team
Supplied in 3 formats:
Odin flashable tar.md5 (for first time installation)
Recovery flashable zip (requires a custom recovery to currently be installed)
.img file (for those who use Flashify or other direct methods).
Instructions for ODIN: (use T211.CWMv.....recovery.tar.zip)
1. Download ODIN on your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash.
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Wait for device to restart. Skip this step if you unchecked auto reboot.
10. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.
It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If it doesn't boot into recovery:
Please reboot into android (hold power until it reboots) and send me the last_kmsg. See my thread about ADB in the General section for instructions.
To get the last_kmsg with adb use: adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.txt
Stock T211 recovery also attached.
Instructions for recovery flashable version:
Boot into your previously installed custom recovery.
Select the Install Zip option.
Find the recovery zip.
Flash.
Reboot recovery.
Enjoy your new recovery.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.

I added the adb command to get last_kmsg to the OP. You have to pull it immediately after rebooting after the failure (before any secondary reboots) or it will get overwritten.

Does this mean that we will be able to flash a zip file for root (of stock ROM, without using a custom ROM?).
If so, could someone pleae link to that zip file?
Thanks

Nice!
I already know ROMs are different for 211 and 210, but what about kernels? Do we need separate, specific kernels for SM-T211 devices, or just flash SM-T210 kernels?

New version (v2) in the OP. This version corrects the touchscreen orientation. That is only important if you flash a zip with a touch interface (such as Aroma File Manager).

im still new with this tab. there is a universal root zip. does this means i dont have to use the other method of rooting by zidkijah?

there aren't much differences between cm build and fxp build. fxp build may contains a few more patches which haven't trickled down to official cm.

Nightlies can be very problematic, but they also get you the latest and greatest. Many times the nightlies work great and get you the latest features (privacy guard) and newest bug fixes (the Android security bugs were fixed in the nightlies before they released new stable builds). In fact, most of the time, nightlies work great. But there are those few times that something gets screwed up (they are built and released automatically with no human intervention). That is why you should always keep your last good install zip on hand, that way you can easily revert if needed.
M Snapshots are designed to be more stable and better tested, but they aren't released nearly as often.
It really depends on the individual. I always use the nightlies (I usually don't even bother installing the stable builds), but I know others who only want the stable builds. You need to decide for yourself.

NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE. CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Method 1, need to have any rooted rom installed that IS NOT CM 10.2 and a custom recovery (like clockworkmod, more commonly know as CWM)
Step 1. Download the ROM and the latest GAPPS (goo.im/gapps) and put them on your sd card or internal storage, they should be .zip files, if they arent, this wont work.
Step 2. Power of your phone/tablet
Step 3. Boot into your custom recovery by holding the vol.up button, the home button, and the power button, keep holding these buttons but let go when something shows up on the screen (on the sIII (GT-i9300) it says samsung galaxy sIII GT-i9300) if you have a different phone it will say something different.
Step 4. (these steps will differ if you have something other than CWM, but they will be very similar), use the volume keys and the power button to navigate to "install zip" then navigate to where you put the .zip for the rom. If you put it on the internal storage, hit the option at the very top, if you put it on your external microsd card, hit the option above "go back"
Step 5. Do the same as ^step 4^ but choose the gapps .zip instead of the rom .zip
Step 6. Hit "Go Back" then hit "Reboot System Now" ENJOY!!!
Method 2. need to have CYANOGENMOD 10.2 and a custom recovery (like clockworkmod, more commonly know as CWM)
Step 1. Open your settings app and navigate to /About Phone or Tablet/Cyanogenmod Updates/ and hit the download button next to the rom that you want.
Step 2. When its downloaded, your phone will do the rest and then your good to go.
Method 3. phone isnt rooted and NOTHING HAS BEEN FLASHED TO IT, no kernels, no roms, just plain, boring old android straight from the manufacturer.
Step 1.Root your device and install a custom recovery (I dont know what device you have so google it, make sure that a custom recovery is also installed
Step 2. (Follow Method 1 at the top if this post)

1) Download and Save the RoM in your phone, like the latest GAPPS
2)You must extract the BOOT.IMG from the ROM
3)With Flashtool flash the boot.img in your phone
4)With CWM first Wipe all and then flash the ROM
5) Flash Gapps
6)Reboot
Like ever do Backup !! this is important if you have any error in the ROM

Even If i pick in "show more devices" Xperia ZR doesnt are here then cant install CWM Recovery with ROM Manager

[Q] Newly Rooted Note 4 T Mobile help

Hello fellas...just rooted my note 4 using odin. After rooting I tried to install the TWPR flash recovery to no evail. For some reason after downloading the recovery file, when I open it up in odin it get's stuck on the screen ( using my computer). So I cannot install it to my phone....yet. I did download ROM toolbox pro...i do notice there is a recovery option here. Is this the same thing as the TWPR recovery? Do I absolutely need TWPR recovery? really new to this so all and any info will help thanks!

Use an older version of Odin. I'm using 3.04 everyday. Yes you need a custom recovery.

Did you install Chainfire Root before trying to install TWRP. I have a short Odin video on YouTube I made for another member that you can check out. See if it helps you
http://youtu.be/hMOsw0RDeSQ
Remember that this was for a specific member and rom he was installing as far as the Firekat files. The Odin, chain root, and twrp will work for your needs. You might want to update the twrp to 2.8.4.
2.8.1 works fine for me so that what I have installed

make sure your file is a tar file and not an image, if it is good then I would try a different version of Odin as mentioned before. If still no luck I would definitely try a different file location to get the Download or a different version of TWRP. I have files that I know work if you need.
Hope we helped

Also when your loading in the pda slot it takes a minute to populate in the slot sometimes 60 seconds....

That is normal. Sometimes when loading firmware it takes up to 3 minutes or so for the md5 check to be done. Usually root and recovery aren't quite as long but still can take a min.

To answer this question, are you planning on flashing ROMs? If not, I wouldn't worry about TWRP. Some people just like to ROOT and be on their way.

Yeah I realized that when I loaded the chainfire file in odin. But after waiting 10 minutes for the recovery file , I figured something was wrong. If you can provide me with the recovery link that would be great. Its for the note 4 t mobile.

Make sure that after it reboots you turn off your device. Hold volume up, power and the home button at the same time and go into recovery mode and back your device up. Leave what is x'ed off as is but I also back up the modem. Change the location of the back up to be saved to your SD card. Factory wipe, the advanced, checking off dalvik, system, data and cache. DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL or SD card. Reboot your phone. Let it sit for 5 min on the welcome screen then enjoy

[ROM][ROOT][i9506] How to FLASH N' ROOT Lollipop Samsung TW

This guide help you to
install the Samsung Lollipop TouchWiz and get the root permissions
on Galaxy S4 GT-I9506​
Do it on your own responsibility! and keep in mind that you will lose your warranty!​
Before you proceed, make sure:
1) You have installed your Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9506 USB drivers on your PC (the easiest way is to install Kies)
2) Your S4 should have 70-80% charge remaining.
3) Backup all your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data stored in phone memory in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt
4) Make sure that Kies software is not running and disable your antivirus
Download the requirements:
Click on each one for download
-Odin software
-Recovery TWRP "flashable"
-SuperSu "flashable"
-Samsung Lollipop Firmware from SAMMOBILE (only if you have KitKat installed)
WARNING! I FOUND PROBLEMS WITH SOME SAMMOBILE FIRMWARE'S READ BELOW
The Czech Republic - ETL firmware (I9506XXUDOA6_I9506OXXDOA1), has WiFi broken
The Czech Republic (Vodafone) - VDC firmware (I9506XXUDOA6_I9506VFGDOA4), has wrong "Hidden" partition size
If you meet this problems you can download this official firmware from samsung updates site:
Greece - EUR firmware (I9506XXUDOAA_I9506EURDOB1)
BUILD DATE: 30.01.2015
How to install the firmware and root
If you already have the Lollipop firmware installed: Skip to the Step 8
NOTE: I racommend you to do the wipe of cache, dalvik cache, system, data partitions before proceeding,
this to prevent any problems with the apps (through recovery)
Step 1
Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a tar.md5 file.
Step 2
Turn OFF you mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Power + Volume Down + Home Buttons.
together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up.
Step 3
Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy S4 to your computer.
Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue (or yellow) and will show the COM port number.
Step 4
Click on PDA (or AP) in Odin and choose the file ".tar.md5"
Step 5
Check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
Step 6
Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the flashing process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
Step 7
When the installation is completed, you read a "Reset " then a "Pass". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic)
> Step 8
now you have to do again all steps from Step 2, for flash the TWRP recovery needed for apply the ROOT,
the only difference is when you arrive on Step 4 you must have to choose the TWRP Recovery ".tar.md5" downloaded file
Step 9
Turn OFF you mobile and go to Recovery Mode by pressing and holding the Power + Volume Up + Home Buttons.
Step 10
Connect the mobile with USB and copy the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip" in the SD
Step 11
Click on the "INSTALL" button, select "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip", and swipe to flash. After this reboot
Finish! Enjoy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat the procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Make sure the antivirus is disabled
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install the USB driver.
- Try another computer.
Titanium Backup does not recognize the root:
- Install Titanium Backup version 7.0+
Titanium Backup does not recognize external SD:
- Install SDFix app for applying the missing external SD card permissions

After flash the warranty Knox is rightly marked,
that's becouse i wrote that you lose the warranty,
but this happens anyway if you perform unauthorized flash...

General Information:
CastagnaIT and my GT-I9506 devices are originally from ETL CSC... so Czech Republic firmware.
We found that the original ETL firmware has broken WiFi, and we discover that flashing the cache partition of Vodafone firmware has solved the issue... this is the reason we provide here an already fixed firmware.
Probably with newer updates it will be automatically solved, but for now this fix is working perfectly.
I dirty flashed the modified firmware file directly over my TW 4.4.2 installation, and I saw the phone has correctly get the update without any loosing of apps or datas... so my installation is exactly equivalent to a normal Sammy update.
Thanks for the attention.

German Vodafone have also broken WiFi...

The German rom seemed to work for me, no issues.

Hi,
I have a doubt... let me explain.
When you flashed with Odin, the correct procedure I think is this one.
1) After flash complete the phone must restart automatically
2) at the first boot, the recovery must be automatically activated and a flash of a cached element must appear
3) after this recovery flash, the phone reboot automatically and finally start with rom initialization
I think that for @Drady this has happened, and I think also that for @Developer.WL this has not happened.
This recovery flash is the culprit (probably) that give as result the wifi working.
I saw this, because I prepared a modded firmware with removed the recovery.img, so my Odin flash has not installed the stock recovery, leaving twrp as recovery.
After my flash, the phone was just shutdown (no reboot). Remembering that recovery flash was also done for previous KK firmware, I switched on the phone by pressing the buttons Vol-up + Power + Home, and my phone has booted into twrp and has flashed the missing cache part, than the phone auto-rebooted correctly and the system is working as it must.
My suggestion to @Developer.WL, is to reflash the firmware, taking care that at the first boot the phone must go to recovery (flash is about a couple of seconds) and after this must reboot into the rom...
Please let us know if this solve the wifi issue.
Thanks for cooperation.

AFAIK you should turn off device before enter download mode and then flash Czech version, this will let you to replace old modem with new one.

At this moment there is no way I tried root uninstall, TB and uninstall without any result.
I think we have to wait for updates

i don't fix glonass on this NEE version....

I have LineageOS 13, TWRP and I want to ROOT my i9506. As I understand, I can't ROOT it on LineageOS 13 - I have to install official ROM, ROOT it, and then install LineageOS again, yes?
