Just successfully flashed OUDHS CWM-based Recovery 1.0.3.0 successfully...haven't tried much of the functionality until I fix my phone from the bootloop I put it in.
Something I did notice while navigating around the menu using my volume keys was that the screen was only refreshing every other keypress. I know that the state of the program was changing but the screen was only redrawing every other input.

sorry been testing cwm but yeah I was talking about twrp. its just the touchscreen not registering will test again in a sec

I had the same problem as the guy above and tried the test 3 tar and it fixes the screen but no touch function.
also just tried CWM recovery and it was only letting me go to every other selection then rebooted all on its own.

Please don't forget to post in the CWM thread as well so no information is lost to the that effort.

confirmed test 3 did not fix the touch screen issue. cwm will sometimes double click and is tricky to navigate with the graphics issue but functions normally otherwise. did a full wipe and restore booted fine both times with no permissions issues. this was garwyns version btw.

[RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE (GT-I9195)

WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9195 MODEL!
Hello all S4 Mini owners!
I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery and an insecure kernel for the GT-I9195. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.
Attached to this post is the necessary files needed for this task. Download the following files:
Odin_v3.09.zip (if you don't have it already)
recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.zip
S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip (contains SuperSU v1.89 and BusyBox v1.21.1) ONLY FOR STOCK ROM! NOT FOR CM OR OTHER AOSP BASED ROMS!
Extract recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.zip file to your computer.
The procedure is as:
Copy the " S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip" to your device SD card.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.
Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-serranoltexx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.
After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.
Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
Optional: Flash GT-I9195_Kernel_v1.zip (Only for Android 4.2.2, not KitKat) to use a custom stock kernel, which might fix battery drain for some.
Kernel changelog: https://github.com/arco/android_kernel_samsung_msm8930-common/commits/stock
If you get warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app, or let SuperSU fix it for you.
KNOXAgent.apk
KNOXStore.apk
ContainerAgent.apk

Quick question before I root it, what do you mean by "insecure"? Certainly not shy, but as in unstable or as in unsafe?

Insecure is needed for rooting, not unsafe or unstable. As far as I know, it removes some security-thingies added by Samsung. For normal use, this shouldn't make a difference.
Correct me if I'm wrong please

An insecure kernel has disabled the root prevention checks that Samsung added. Other than that it's the same as stock kernel. Although in this kernel I also made two minor changes to allow apps to read the kernel log and the full logcat.

Great, thanks. One last noobie-like question - is this procedure going to delete what I have on the phone right now?

No, all your stuff will still be there.

Thanks for the effort! I'm building a similar package for the I9192 (the dual sim variant, a.k.a "serranods") and I was wondering if you made any serious changes to the kernel except the usual ramdisk rooting changes (ro.secure, adbd binary, su binary etc.)
I'm going to release an insecured kernel based on the dual sim stock kernel, but I'm probably going to reuse the recovery. I expect the two platforms to be very similar in terms of recovery support (drivers, libraries, recovery kernel, partition layout etc.) and I know you can't make any implicit or explicit claims that the recovery won't brick any another model or variant than the one you made the release for. However, I expect no issues whatsoever as the hardware is identical except the modem, so I'll let you guys know.
Cheers,
C.

I follow the first steps but I always get stuck at the beginning. I only get a screen with "downloading.... Do not turn off target!!" it does not matter what buttons I push. On top it says "odin mode" in red, some product info and then it says "Wrtie protection: Enable".
Any suggestions?

@charliebigpot: That's normal. When that screen appears, connect your device and start ODIN. Then, in ODIN, your device should be detected and you can start flashing. If you still need more info, please search the forum. In any event, you don't have a problem (yet)...
Cheers,

Thank You for the hard work, it work perfectly for me.
I was able to restore my Angry Birds Stars wars Backup which is a life saver for me .
One little thing, I keep getting a notification that says :
"Device Information :
The device as detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot."
So I hit reboot and it reboot in "recovery mode" instead of normal boot.
So I hit reboot in recovery mode and get back on the system, but the notification comes back a few minutes later.
Can somone help me fix that ?
Frem.
PS : The only actions I did after rooting is installing "supersuer" app, then using "ES file explorer" activate root access, to copy angry birds backup, then deactivate "ES file explorer" root access

dsixda's Android Kitchen files
THANKS MATE FOR GREAT JOB!
Now, if some1 can produce dsixda's Android Kitchen files for i9195, it would be awesome!

Delete KNOX apps (containing KNOX in their name), I think there are 3 of them, in system/apps, that would do it. You can use ES file explorer of course with root permissions

Thank you jba.33a that worked perfectly .
One last question a friend of mine told me that "rooting my phone" will stop it from getting the samsung "official updates".
Is that true ?
If it is true, is there a easy way around it like rooting it back ?
Thanks again for the hard work arco68.

Thank you arco68 works perfectly donation coming your way!

[Recovery] & [Root] [T211] TWRP 2.7.1.0.KK Unofficial

READ THIS POST BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY
Updated to version 2.7.1.0.KK on 10-28-14. Now works with KitKat (and older JB) bootloaders.
Now properly supports all set_metadata functions in newer updater-scripts.
Click HERE for the latest version.
Please report any bugs here in this thread.
Please take a moment to say thanks and/or donate to @ketut.kumajaya for helping us out.
I have a T210R, so I haven't tested on a T211.
Credits go to:
@ketut.kumajaya for working kernel
@Jamison904 for giving us root
@hkjr for getting ketut to help
and of course the Team Win group
Instructions for ODIN
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).
After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.
Your internal SDcard will get mounted as "/data/media". So look there for any files saved to the internal card.
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if TWRP 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).
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.
Flash at own risk!!!!

Thanks for the report, will look into it.

Hey @ketut.kumajaya, it seems the touchscreen needs to be rotated for this one. I would attempt to fix it, but we all know you can do it much, much better (and I don't want to start all over without your kernel source)
EDIT: I used the new zImage from the 1.8 T210(R) version in my T210(R) TWRP and the touchpoints are off in it as well. Looks like the previous touch orientation fix you made got overwritten with the new update.
Looks like it only needs to be rotated clockwise 90 degrees (not flipped, just rotated).

Not true...your internal SDcard is mounted as "/data/media". Navigate to that folder and you will find everything on your internal card. You will have to hit the "Up one level" button to find it.
EDIT: I will add a note to the OP about this.

Now that there's root and recovery, has anyone flashed a successful ROM for the T211?

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 Smoky Titanium (SM-T350) XAR/USA only!!!

If anyone needs help or advice, then post in this thread. I own this device and I have tried everything and I'll use that knowledge to those who need help. I am currently working on a Cyanogenmod rom for this device.

i'm new to this forum, but I've received an OTA update or maybe 4 updates and I'm wondering if I should take them? I just got this tab and it has T350XXU1BPE3 Marshmallow on it already. I would like to Root this and perhaps put a ROM on it, but I'm concerned about Samsung Locking the bootloader and keeping me from doing that.
The new updates are:
T350XXU1BPE3, T350XAR1BPE3, T350XXU1BPI2 & T350XAR1BPI1
Also, how do I root it and are there any good ROMs built for it?

First: Go to this link and download TWRP for SM-T350 (Lollipop version of TWRP is better than the updated Marshmallow version of TWRP. The Marshmallow version of TWRP has many unsolved bugs.)
Flash this via ODIN. Download ODIN
Turn off your Samsung Device and then go to Download mode (Vol. Down + Power + Home Button) then plug in the USB to PC and the device. ODIN will say, Device Added! Press AP slot and find the TWRP file. Then press Start. It should say RESET OK! Then your device should reboot. If it says failed, REPLY BACK TO ME. These are the methods I have done it and it works awesomely.
Second: Download SuperSU
If you've downloaded the file from the PC transfer the file to any desired folder you want. (Ex: Downloads, Music, etc.)
If you've downloaded the file from the Tablet itself, you should be able to find the file in the downloads section, unless you changed the download file destination.
So turn off your device then go to Recovery Mode (Vol. Up + Power + Home Button) [Don't get mixed up with Download mode!!!]
Then, press the Install slot and locate the SuperSU file from your desired location and press the file. It should say, Do You Want To Flash This File? Swipe right to flash the file. After installing, don't Wipe Cache/Dalvik and Reboot Device. If TWRP asks you to install TWRP DON'T LET IT!!!
Your device should now reboot.
Congrats you have Root.
Reply back to me if you want a Permissive Kernel so you could use and download ViPER4Android for Music FX, and etc.
If you want to know how to install Xposed (for modules such as Youtube Background) reply back to me also. I have a SM-T350 and I would be appreciated to help you and others.
If you want a custom rom for this Tablet, reply back to me also.
I am making a Cyanogenmod for SM-T350, so hitting that Thanks button will contribute me to working harder for all of you guys.
Hit the Thanks button if I have helped you and others!!!
Peace out.

Wow! Thanks for all the detail! For future reference I have and know how to use Odin, ADB/Fastboot, etc. But I really appreciate your help! I don't have time tonight to do this, But I will on Wednesday and will get my Tab rooted with TWRP installed.
Just curious, is the CM your building Nougat by chance? That would be just too cool!
Thanks again!

The CM rom should be based on Nougat. Also I would be porting the rom, so not really creating. Glad I helped! If you need any more help, just feel free to ask, that's what this thread is here for.

Those who need a [UNOFFICIAL] Rom for SM-T350. This is highly experimental and is under process of developing.
EVERVOLV (Not maintained by me but by @elginsk8r): http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...volv-galaxy-tab-sm-t350-t3411150#post67607709
Description: It is based on the AOSP project and it is running on a pretty much a Pure-Android experience.

TWRP for SM-T350: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/recovery-t3426560
Download Lollipop version of TWRP because it works with Third-Party apps.
The Marshmallow version of TWRP is under development by @ashyx and is also not compatible with Third-Party apps yet.

Have you ever heard of ViPER4Android? In order to run with the best features, then you will need a Permissive Kernel. SeLinux Changer doesn't work with Samsung Marshmallow. (It worked with Lollipop though) In order to get a Permissive Kernel for SM-T350 go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/kernel-galaxy-tab-sm-t555-5-8-2016-t3433560
It is not developed by me, I just put links that will be useful for SM-T350 users, but it was created by @ashyx. Flash it through ODIN!
Happy Flashing! (Please flash it after flashing TWRP if you haven't done so. Also, use the AP slot and choose the .tar file. If it is not extracted from .zip or some other file, extract it, if it's not a .tar)

Sure, I will help you, also have you checked out that EVERVOLV rom in the previous posts? Check that out and it is still in beta. It is not maintained by me, but by @elginsk8r. I, currently am working on a Nougat build which will be Cyanogenmod or maybe, I will make a new OS called AnKore (Korean if you move the An to the back of Kore, cause I am South Korean).
Anyways, good luck in the Android World now!

Good to hear that some body work on Android n for this device. Simple is the best.

Quick question will this work on a sm-t357t

Under progress, I have a lot of tests and quizzes for schools, stacked with homework too, so the project will be held back and probably will be finished by the end of February or during the summer. I am working very hard and I am putting more features than the original Cyanogen roms. I will announce after I finish.
@Xdevillived666
The status of the rom is:
Camera working
Themes are working sometimes and sometimes not
Home button is sometimes responsive
NavBar support
ViPER4Android working well (I don't like AudioFX that much)
Screen works perfectly, meaning it's responsive
Lag issues
Game rendering
Spoofing Google Play Store so you can install applications that are incompatible
Nougat Version AOSP, meaning untouched by any bloatware from Samsung
Gallery is unresponsive because of framework
Camera runs smoothly, but may need more options for photography
More to be added! This is just what is in my mind.

I followed the steps in the post above about rooting, but something isn't working correctly.
I installed Odin and flashed the tar file for TWRP. When I reboot into recovery (holding home, power, and up) I get the standard android recovery. I tried to flash the SuperSU file from there just in case and it fails with an invalid signature.
Is there something I missed along the way? I've flashed things with Odin before and didn't really see anything here that seems any different. The flashing in Odin was all boilerplate, passed and saw "RES OK" and the device rebooted.
My tablet is fine, but I can't installed SuperSU!
Thanks in advance.

thanks bro. I've been using cwm for all these times and i'm pretty comfortable with it. will try it some other time. btw i'm planning on upgrading to a redmi note 4 this week. i heard it is easy to customize and get good roms. after android one, i don't think i can use a phone without rooting or custom roms for long anymore hehe...

I too have a redmi-note-4 64GB one, it's quite good.
As you can see development is also topnotch atm, it's kicking!
Yes, once you get addicted into Android, you can't just leave it lol.
It's easy to customize with Miui, like themes etc.. But as a Android one user, you will feel like you need to flash an AOSP based rom and get rid of Miui.

But youve to unlock its bootloader first, for a kind info - Unlocking bootloader was like really really pain in ass!
You've to apply for that via their website then wait for their approvals, once you get approvals then try unlocking oem, it'll fail... Fail.. Fail..again n again, but one day it'll let you unlock your phone successfully. Lol
Like that, once you get your device unlocked with their official method, then play with roms! ?
