[Discontinued] [HOW TO] Root, Stock, ODIN For P3113UECLK7

This is nothing more than a pre-rooted completely stock image that you would flash in Odin.
It is based off of this stock image: P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_HOME.tar.md5
Simply adds the SuperSU apk v0.99 and su binary.
From there you can chose to install busybox, flash a non-stock recovery, etc.
It DOES NOT wipe any data. So if you are coming from a completely different rom base then you will want to boot to recovery and factory reset.
This is good for getting back to known good state after you may have flashed something and now have weird behavior going on. Also good if you want to run stock but just have root for a few apps like adaway or tibu.
Instructions:
Extract the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 from the .7z file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put device into download mode, connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let device reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the device, users have had issues using other cables.

Few questions....
I see in your signature you had AOKP. Did you flash this direct from AOKP? This doesn't wipe data and since it goes back to stock its still trying to use all your /data from aokp. You'd want to boot into recovery and do a factory reset coming from a different rom base than stock.
Also I use the Region XAC stock file. There is also an XAR. Does anyone know the difference? Samsung-updates seems to list XAC as N/A for region while XAR as Cellular South but I think I read the opposite from someone on the forum here.

Nah haven't updated my profile in a while. I had actually come from stock 4.0.4 i believe in my case atleast that my battery simply wasn't charged well enough.

Close. That thread shows you step by step how to do it yourself using mobile Odin lite using original official unmodified update files. This thread seems to give you one file to flash with Odin. Haven't tried this file yet...yet.

There are a few differences. To use that thread your device has to be rooted. Here it does not.
In that thread you are using mobile odin to flash the stock file, then using recovery to flash root. Here root is pre-injected into the stock firmware. You can use mobile odin to flash this and be done. (unless you want a non-stock recovery etc).

Yes though you mention to use the XAR file and I've pre-injected the XAC. Outside of what you've said I can't find what region would be for what tablets. I'll post up the XAR as well and let the user pick.

XAR region uploaded..

I found this suggestion to be quite helpful. I was coming from Tsunami and found if it would not boot to go back and factory reset. Thanks!

Interestingly I am having a problem using TWRP to backup this ROM. TWRP FCs and the Tab reboots before any data is written to the SD card. It does create the named backup folder but dies early on in the backup process. Going to try CWM next but the backups created by CWM and TWRP are not compatible. TWRP has worked fine on all the other ROMs I tried. I need to perform more testing.

I have got exactly the same issue like this one when I was trying
root66_XAR_P3113UECLK7.7z - JellyBean 4.1.1
on my P3113. The tablet seems frozen at this stage and if I hold the power botton and let it reset, it will come back at the same screen with the progress bar unchanged.
My P3113 is with stock ICS ROM and rooted.
I cant do factory reset because when I trying to go to recovery mode, this screen shows up...

I got the same result as well, eventhough Odin said pass. Funny thing is I put in download mode again and flash this official firmware from France. The Odin said failed, but after I reboot all good.

You must have lost the root by flashing the official stock rom, right?
I was thinking to flash the stock ICS rom for P3113 someone post on this board also but don't want to go through the hustles to root it again

Yes, I lost root. But I end up flash USA official firmware again and used this root method . It's very easy, took 15 sec. I came from CM10.1 nightly, but want to try official JB from Samsung. Actually, it's smooth and fast. Maybe I stick to it, I am tired of update everyday for CM10.1.

Removed post.

i tried this from a corrupted cm10.1 nighlty custom kernel which is stuck on the samsung galaxy tab 2 logo. odin was successful, i got pass the android screen shown in the previous post but now im stuck on the samsung logo with the blue orb. help

Boot to recovery and factory wipe.

Removing the my external SD card did the trick for me.

Thanks cumanzor. One small comment like yours and it relieves a major headache for me, thanks again.

[Q] Installing a custom rom

I rooted my phone yesterday and tryed to install cyanogen 10.1 for android 4.2.2, however instead of putting the zip file in the sd card i had put the extracted files, which was a big mistake, as i had wiped out data and then booted as i couldn't find the rom (i am practically a noob since i was doing all this following a guide but i had mistaken zip files for extracted files). Now when i install rom manager it is hard for me to flash anything as it gets stuck in the screen that says "reboot from sd card" or something like that and when i press ok, it gets stuck in that screen, can someone tell me how to install the rom, im thinking of installing probam
can u also tell how to go into recovery manually, i have clockworkmod recovery (5.x.x i think)

You really don't have to be this rude. We all know that it's annoying to see these threads every two days but that's not an excuse for breaking the rules.
For OP: Search the Forums for Root, Bootloader Unlock and Custom Roms. You should read everything before trying something to prevent damage or you'll probably create a "I bricked my phone! Help!"-thread in two days
The key combo for recovery is vol down + power and release power when LG logo appears or it will reboot (a one minute search for "manually access cwm", just saying)

OK in order to flash custom rom you are required more than rooting.
those are the stages you must fulfill in order to flash :
1- Root :as u say u already rootd " u can check if u rooted properly or not by root checker.apk at play store"
2-Unlock bootloader :you can choose between any ways i prefer two ways 1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263627
b- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020
"you can check if bootloader unlocked properly by hiting 3845#*880# then bootloader then checkbootloader the unlock " u should see this "
3- flash custom recovery : i prefer CWM through that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298420
4- Flash to custom ROM : a- choose ur ROM ,download it as zip file - download Gapps if u like b-put them in to sd card and boot in recovery " power + vol-" choose to install zip file - install first the ROM then GAPPS " optional " - DON"T FORGET TO WIPE DATA AND CASH " after installation to be stable

if he wipes his cash , please call me get some because im low these days

How did you install recovery? What's the rom details? Do you want us to aim in the DARK?

You can't install CWM and TWRP at the same time. So my guess: you didn't install one of them successfully and that's the reason for the missing Backup option.
What Rom are you using? If stock rom go to Philz thread and download an install the correct kernel for your version. After that you'll have a recovery with backup options.

Sir I remember It Next time Sorry sir..
Can you Please provide me a Link of my kernel because in Philz thread there are Many Links and Infos i am Confusing a Bit sir
I hope U understand ( i already posted a screenshort of my kernel ) please provide me a Link so that i download and install it..
and one More Q sir.. if I install a kernel.. before it i have to backup my apps and messages ? or Not ?

Please no PM with the same questions. Asking and answering questions in public is the preferred way.
If you want to understand what you do you'll have to read the threads and try to understand what is written. The thread owner doesn't do this for fun or because he wants to waste time.
You'll find the kernel in post 3 of Philz thread, there is a link after "tw only:". This will bring you to dev-host and folder with different versions (the one with 5.11.2 contains your kernel).
And after downloading please follow the instructions how to install. It really isn't so difficult.
(A final one: please no "sir", absolutely not necessary and makes me feel like I'm at the wrong place)

May be better to download DDLSC rom and flash it via Odin to revert most of the changes done to system, recovery and kernel partitions.

How to install a custom rom on my galaxy s3 mini?

Hi all,
i would like to ask how to install a custom rom onto my samsung galaxy s3 mini. I know there are many guides but i am a complete starter, i just made a switch from apple and i have no idea what they mean, even the clearest one.. I just want to update these devices to lollipop since they are still on 4.1.2 jelly bean. Omnirom or cyanogen or others, i dont mind, i just want an updated device. Step by step instructions on everything would be perfect thank you!! By the way, i dont have windows, only mac.
this would help me a lot in the future.
thanks

Hi, at first I suggest to you to choose between two roms: The Omnirom and the CM. Your choice depend only about what you want from your phone. The Omni one is pretty nice and it looks like more a stock rom. The CM is very customisable in a lot of stuff. If you are not very expert, I suggest to you the CM, because it's more easy to install. But decide at first what you need from your phone!

I’ll choose Cyanogen then. Thanks for the reply.

What you need to flash is:
- the original firmware
- Odin
- USB drivers
- CM (Odin version)
- gApps (Google Apps)
You can find the original firmware on sammobile.com, and you can find other sottware on novafusion.pl in the section . When you have everything we can start!

Is it ok if i get odin for mac? Because i'm a mac user. I'm not sure if this is official
techbeasts . com/2015/04/13/download-odin-jdoin3-mac/
I added two spaces between on the left and write of the dot because I'm not allowed to post links, idk why. Just remove the other two spaces thanks.
Two more things, I can't find the USB drivers or original firmware on novafusion. And please be patient as it will take a while to download these things. My internet has a whopping 200 kilobytes per second, yeah it's slower than a snail...

It seems that Odin for Mac doesn't exist, the software that you can find is only similar but not the original Odin. Maybe they are good software as well but I don't want to risk to brick the phone for a not fully compatible software... Don't worry: we do everything also without Odin, is just a little bit longer but it works.
At first reboot your phone in recovery mode (menu button, volume up, power botton than wait) and do the wipe of cache and than reboot it and wait.
When the Phone is ready go here and download the SuperSu (to root the device) https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
and copy the zip file in your phone, than, reboot again the device in recovery mode and select "instal ZIP" (or something like that, I don't remember exactly honesty and choose the zip that you downloaded. Reboot the phone and now if everything worked you should find an app called "SuperSU" in your drawer. After you got the root access, we can go to the next step

Oh i actually already rooted it with KingRoot, is it bad?

KingoRoot is also fine.
Regarding "Odin on Mac":
jOdin uses "Heimdall" which works fine with S3 Mini - so unless they messed up the UI completely (giving wrong commands to Heimdall) the tool works fine, too.

KingRoot is should be fine at the same. You just need the root access to flash the device from the recovery. I sugget to you to install the TWRP recvery if you don't have it yet. You can download it and flash it from the recovery (you have root access now) or you can download an app on Google Play store like rom manager or TWRP manager and install the recovery from the app. Then we can go to the next step

KaffeeKiffer thanks but i'll stick with Stefano's method . Ok i got TWRP, but i still can't find the USB drivers or the original firmware (it's not on SamMobile). And for cyanogen mod 12.1, do i now get the normal version, like not the odin one?

Yes, you have to download not the Odin version but the other one "recovery version". At the same you have to download and flash the TWRP recovery first (always "recovery version" of the download). It should be the same also if you flash the CM with other recovery but I read online that flashing CM via recovery, by the TWRP recovery is better.
1) Download and flash TWRP recovery
2) Wipe cache and clean everything
3) Download and flash
Now the next step will be installing gApps

I'll jump in long enough to point out that Heimdall/Odin is not functional under current Mac environments. SInce Mobile Odin is effectively obsolete for current devices/ROMs, Mac users often rely on fastboot and similar tools instead for what can't be accomplished via a good custom recovery such as TWRP.

Hi all,

I know there are many guides but i am a complete starter, i just made a switch from apple and i have no idea what they mean, even the clearest one..

install odin on windows pc: http://depositfiles.com/files/m2n77b1vc
install samsung drivers on windows pc: http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117#none
get cyanogenmod 12.1: http://novafusion.pl/
get the odin version
when mobile powered off, hold volume down, home and power button. You get the downloadmode option on your screen, let go all buttons and press volume up button.
Now connect the phone to your pc with the usb cable and let odin find it.
Load the tar file in the downloaded zip file as pda and flash it.
If you want clockwork mod, install this as tar, also in pda flash option: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526789241
If your samsung doesn't work but you can still get into download mode, view next page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122548
and install a fail safe firmware according to your type of phone.

I don't have 12.1 running, but isn't TRWP 2.6.3 a bit low? I hope somebody with experience in that regard can help you.
But on Novafusion's site (which I assume you're flashing), the current version is 2.8.
Androidandy's version also worked great for me.

Thanks for the info - I tested it some time ago and have a windows PC, so no need to run it ever after.
I was just relying on my past experience.

What i don't understand is why the flashing went wrong, I did everything right, at least I think. Wipe everything and flash the rom, why didn't it work?

Back to stock please

Hello all
I have an old Samsung Captivate, my kids were using it. Now they've new phones, so they left this aside.
Anyway, my son put cyanogen mod on this phone. But I want to put this back to stock. I tried the methods at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989, but that didnot help, as I cannot yet go into download mode, as well as Odin or Samsung Kies does not recognize this device. It goes into recovery mode and shows CVM-based Recovery v6.0.3.1. There is no download link on this. I've tried vol down+power, then vol up+vol down+power, then just both volume buttons, but nothing helps.
The device is reconized by my laptop, and it is there under android devices in device manager, just doesnt get recognized by either samsung kies or odin.):
My all other samsung devices are working fine with the drivers I have.
I'm on Windows 10.
So please help me get this phone back to stock.
thanks

Did you pull the battery before attempting the button combinations for getting into download mode?
If you did that, this thread may provide another way for you to get to download mode.
Is there a specific reason you are going back to stock Eclair, android 2.1, instead of using one of the newer one-click stock roms?
Others are available here. But then, that may be where you found the link to the rom you tried.
Which bootloader and modem were on the phone while it was in use? Which version of CM?

I've not used CM on any of my devices, I always use stock rom, even after I root.
Secondly, I am loaning this phone out to my friend, and she's not very digital savvy. I want to give her the phone with as little customization done as possible, because that's what she'll be most comfortable with.
I'll try the methods on the thread you posted above.
thanks

Hello
Nope, nothing helped, the phone just booted into the home page.

I must have misunderstood what you said in the original post.
I thought you stated that the phone in question had cyanogenmod rom on it at one time, installed by your son. I also thought you said it currently had CWM Recovery, v6.0.3.1, installed. This could be important because some versions of CM ROM would require an update in the bootloader from the Eclair bootloader. Those versions would require an upgrade to the Gingerbread bootloader. This includes a re-partitioning of the internal harddrive. Supposedly the GB bootloaders will work with the Eclair roms
So far AT&T GB bootloaders have been backward compatible with all I897 (even I9000) Froyo/Eclairs ROMs. I have used I9000 based ROMs with AT&T GB BLs. Someone in CM7 thread claimed to use AT&T GB bootloaders with CM7 without any problem.
Click to expand...

but if you are on the GB bootloader, why not try the GB stock rom, android 2.3.5?
Since you can get to the home screen, is the current rom fully functional?
What rom, and version, is it that you can boot into?
If it is CM, there should be an app named Terminal Emulator installed. If it is present you can run these two commands to determine the bootloader and modem that are on your phone:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband

for bootloader, it says unknown.
for version.baseband it says [gsm.version.baseband]: [T959TLJL3]
When the phone bootsup, it shows cyanogen mod, then when I boot into recovery, it shows CVM Recovery, v6.0.3.1(and it says CVM, not CWM). So now I am confused what do I have on the phone?

You may have just given a valuable clue.
That baseband is from the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, a T-Mobile device, not the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, an AT&T device.
Either someone flashed T-Mobile software on your Captivate. Or, you are trying to flash AT&T software on your Vibrant. I don't know if these devices and their software are cross compatible.
Could you remove the battery and check on the underlying label the model of the phone?

Hello
I found I had GooManager installed. will that be of any help here?

You said odin didnt recognized the phone right? I ll recommend uninstall the kies, that thing is always in the way and mess up the connection in odin

Thanks for chiming in. That sounds vaguely familiar, but I have had no experience with Kies in years. I use Linux and Kies will not work on Linux based computers. (I think I used Kies for my first upgrade on my Captivate, back when I was still dual booting Linux and WinXP. That was the upgrade from Eclair to Froyo.)
Yes, @tahrang those pics help answer some of the other questions I asked. They show that you have the a Jellybean ROM installed using a Gingerbread kernel (GB). I think it is the PACman ROM. Hopefully removing Kies, as Dennis suggests, allows you to get to download with one of the many methods suggested in the thread I linked to works, then you can flash a stock rom. I would suggest one of the Odin-One-Click methods that installs a stock Gingerbread ROM. I think they final three identifiers begin with K, ones like KH3, KK4, etc. Use a one-click that does not install bootloaders, it is not needed at this time.

still not going into download mode. always goes into recovery ):
I can access the phone via my laptop. From recovery, if I have a rom zip file on the sd card, can I flash it that way? Where would I find such rom(stock) zip file?
thanks

Yes, you can flash roms from CWM recovery. The One-Click files will not work for this. You will need to use a recovery flashable zip. You can find stock and custom roms in the Development sub-forum. With the Captivate and CWM recovery you need to put the flashable zip on the root of the internal sdcard, IIRC. I don't think it will flash the rom from the external sdcard.
Since your laptop will access the phone, did you use either of the adb methods to boot into download mode? They are described in one of the other threads I linked.
Also, you could use adb to flash the portions of a rom, whichever type it is - recovery flashable or Odin one-click. But you would need the adb/flashboot tutorial threads to understand that process and the commands involved.

can you send the link to the flashable zip files?
thanks

The link in the previous post will lead to them. The early posts in that sub-forum are to the one-clicks. The custom roms on the first page are flashable zips. It may take going through several pages to find a stock rom that is a flashable zip with a valid download link. I am on a slow connection with limited data, I can't test the downloads for you.
