Hello, sorry if I'm in the wrong forum, I'm new to XDA and rooting android devices in general.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P7500 (has both Wi-Fi and 3G on the back) and I tried to root it using this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185). I followed it exactly except for a part where you're supposed to launch odin 3 1.85. Trying to run that program would just give me some korean letters and it would exit after closing the korean letters. I downloaded Odin 3 v3.04 thinking that the version doesn't matter. Ran all things fine, finished the tutorial and the ClockWord mod or w/e said root finished. After that I couldn't access the system root folder to change some permissions. I downloaded an app to check if my device is rooted and it says that it's not. Now when I try to access those two options (holding power button + volume down button) they don't even come up and I just keep seeing the galaxy tab logo when holding that combination. Other than that, the tablet works fine.
What do I do now? How do I get the recovery and download modes back? Help would be greatly appreciated, plz!!! :angel:
EDIT: I also have some kind of Superuser app that the process installed for me.
EDIT2: Apparently I can access recovery and download mode! What do I do now? (I have ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.4)
Final Edit ( I hope): I fixed it!. I installed (flashed) Superuser from the ClockworkMod Recovery and now it says that I am rooted.

I have a VZW Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE (SCH-i905). I got it rooted using the kernel.zip and recovery.zip method (which was super easy and worked great). Then after I got it booted up, I installed a few of my default root apps...Root Explorer, ROM Manager, etc. I opened ROM Manager, accepted the SU prompt, and tried to install CWM from there. I selected Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the list of options it gave me, it downloaded and installed and said it was successful. Now when I try to boot into recovery, it just goes blank...I get nothing. I have to power off and back on and boot normally. Any ideas? I really need to fix this. I can't stand this stock rom!
Also, my second problem is that I cannot get the ADB drivers to load on any PC for this thing. I have loaded Samsung Kies and connected the Tab but I get nothing...no access to the device at all. Therefore, I cannot even restore using ODIN because the PC cannot communicate with the Tab when it is booted to ODIN. Can anyone give me some guidance? I've been searching and finding nothing helpful.
Thanks sooooo much,

Hello everyone
I need the help of some professionals around here
I just made a mistake while trying to root my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) with Stock ICS (4.04) on it. I did the following:
I followed this a Tutorial to root the tablet with Odin.
1) I booted the tablet into download mode
2) Then I used odin to update the bootloader
3) Instead of clicking the "PDA" button in Odin I clicked the "Bootloader" button and started the flash process - which was the mistake
3) After this the tablet restartet
The problem is now the following. I cannot boot into the download mode anymore (the normal system still boots fine). When I press volume up + power the selection screen appears. When I then choose download mode, the screen turns black and the tablet restarts. I seem to have destroyed the bootloader.
So all methods to root the tablet with ODIN for flashing a new bootloader fail because I cannot get into download mode anymore.
So I tried the root method by copying the Rooting-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1.zip to the root directory. Then I went to the stock recovery mode and choose the option "update from external sd card" to install the root. Unfortunately I get the following message: "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]". I cannot find any way to choose a file. I read the the mount point in ICS to /sdcard is set during the boot process so its not available in the stock recovery mode.
So I am kind of stuck now because I cannot use Odin and also cannot use the stock recovery mode to do anything.
I also tried the following:
Reset to factory defaults - Didnt helpt still cannot get into download mode
Install Mobile Odin to flash a stock bootloader - did not work because there is no root
Does anyone of you have an idea? I am really stuck at the moment and would appreciate any help.
Try the emergency firmware recovery or re initialization tools in Kies and see how you get on. Never used them myself though so don't know how they're supposed to work. (May just try to invoke download mode?! I dunno!)

I would try a comple, and I mean a COMPLETE drain of the battery. It'll take a week but maybe that's your best option

If you've got Clockwork Mod recovery installed, you should be able to install superuser to give you root permission.
Or are you still running stock recovery?
This is my first post and frankly I am NOOB at XDA, Please help me. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i & all I want is to ROOT my phone & install CWM Recovery for testing Custom ROMs there. I read many threads here and learnt that I have to boot my phone in Recovery Mode as I am using Stock Kernel & Stock ROM. I followed the following Thread exactly and tried to use update.zip for ROOTing phone & ClockWorkRec5830i.zip file for installing CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792
I took my phone in recovery mode by pressing POWER + VOL UP (same thing on screen appears when I press POWER + VOL UP + HOME). It shows the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i logo and at the bottom left corner is shows
=> Factory Mode
After 1 second it is displaying a yellow Triangle ’ ! ‘ sign inside. Not showing any Text there on the triangle page. Now if I press vol + or vol – or power button it is not working/changing the display. If I press the HOME button, then it is showing the following page:
Android System Recovery <3e>
Android System recovery utility
Reboot system now
Apply update from sdcard
----
----
----
Restore user data
Now when I am selecting Apply Update from SDcard by using VOL up/down and pressing HOME button it is not working but it is showing the first Triangle Page again. Then I have to press the HOME button again to see the default Android System Recovery <3e> page again. No options from that page are working not even reboot system now or wipe data/factory reset.
I tried it many times by removing SD card, SIM card etc from last 5 days and same thing happening. I have to remove battery to Switch OFF the phone. I think the kernel installed in my stock ROM got BUGs. And so that it is not working but I read that I can use ODIN to install CWM or ROOT package by taking my phone in download mode by pressing POWER + VOL DOWN (same thing on screen appears when I press POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP). In my phone when it is in download mode it is first showing the Ace Logo & in the bottom left corner:
=> Factory mode
After few second it is showing a page that is like:
Factory Mode
Full test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear Flash
Version
Reboot
Here I can select any option using the VOL key and select option by pressing the HOME key. All option is working OK here. I can reboot phone from here or reset phone to factory condition selecting “Clear Flash” option. I think this is not the download mode XDA members are talking about, I am confused totally. I installed KIES and Samsung Driver from many websites, used another PC and unfortunately my phone is not detecting by KIES or ODIN anyhow. I am sure I installed proper USB driver and used latest version of KIES and Samsung driver. I used ODIN 1.84, 1.85, 1.87, even 4.22 but none of them can detect my phone. I selected the debugging mode in my phone as well.
I can mound SD card in my PC and transfer files. In my Device Manager, It is showing Android ADB Interface and drivers are installed OK. I used SuperOneClick 2.2 and clicked Shell Root and SuperOneClick Log is showing my phone model, manufacturer name etc while ODIN is now detecting my phone (ID:COM) not being YELLOW.
So, I am unable to ROOT my phone & install CWM recovery there either through Default Android Recovery <3e> OR using ODIN because phone is not being detected there. My phone is working OK, my phone don’t have the default apps from Google like Gmail, Google talk, YouTube etc. it has play store & search app from Google only. All the functions of my phone working smoothly but I can’t install non-market app now. My phone info at Settings >> About Phone:
Model number: GT-S5830i
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: S5830IZCLF1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1

Pls someone help me. I am really being frustrated with my new Awesome looking android phone.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried another SD already and nothing happens when I select "apply update from sdcard". It shows the firrst triangle page again. I tried the same without any SD Card also, nothing. Even, if I select "reboot system" it again shows me the triangle page but phone not rebooting.
I can't flash any fireware because ODIN & KIES both can't detect my phone anyhow. If my current recovery would work, then there would no problem I think...
Please help me..

First of all, wrong device section mate! This is Galaxy Ace S5830i section. Also never ever touch any system files unless you know what you are doing. This is because all your important OS files are present there. Any slight mistake and you will find yourself in a bootloop or in the worse case you can even hard-brick your phone. Now if you can go to Download Mode, then you can flash back the stock rom through odin. Follow the instructions from the below link,

All stock firmwares for Galaxy Y
Next time make sure to post the question in the correct section. Hope I Helped
Hi all,
I need some help please.
I tried to root my sons galaxy young S6310N using a video on you tube
However at the 4.41 point I didnt have the yes- root option.
I themn rebooted and it went back into CWM recovery. v6.0.3.2
It's been stuck in this for 2 days now, I have searched everywhere for a solution but I'm lost now. I have information overload I think.
I have tried to install drivers through Kies but it won't recognise my phone in CWM recovery or in download mode.
I have tried to install a custom rom via sd card, it seems to work but reboots into CWM again.
I fear I may have made a mess of it now by messing around with things I know nothing about. I panicked really.
The phone was running jelly bean and is only a week old.
I can get adb but not sure how to use it properly.
Could someone please help?
Thanks in advance
sorted it myself
Hi, just in case anyone was interested I managed to sort this.
I put phone into download mode (holding vol - & menu & power) then pressed up at logo screen to enter download mode.
My pc then installed drivers automatically (something I had been struggling with in CWM recovery mode)
I then installed stock rom recovery.tar.md5 file using odin and the phone rebooted as normal.
I have given up trying to root it now, I may learn properly before attempting again, or may leave it.
Search for your device first before making a thread..!!

Good..but always use recovery for ur phone only..or make it for ur phone..
And do any changes in stock ROM after creating a BACKUP of the same..
ROOTING is not a difficult now-a-days but overcoming from the loss of time and data after BRICKING is so painful.
If you are not friendly with the commands and codes then use a software for that or follow up the WRITTEN guide..or use FARMAROOT app.
Head to thread...Thanks Mr. Bin4ry for this awesome method:

Enjoy..!!
(Please excuse my poor English)
I have a Galaxy S3 i9300. OS is Android 4.3, rooted, and old version CWM recovery installed.
I can't remember exact OS and CWM recovery versions, because I had installed them years ago.
Today, I had decided to upgrade my old CWM recovery. I installed ROM Manager apps from
Google Play Store. (I installed and used the Rom Manager app for the first time)
I ran the Rom Manager app and upgraded CWM recovery as the app instructed. No errors were
reported. Then I chose "Reboot into Recovery".
Then the big trouble happend.
1. Normal "Samsung GALAXY S III GT-I9300" boot message appeared
2. Small Hat image and "ClockworkMode Recovery v6.0.4.6" message appeared
3. Screen blacked out.
4. Repeat 1~3 infinitely.
When I tried to connect via USB, my Windows7 PC could not recognize the i9300 at all.
I cannot use the i9300 as phone, too. I cannot do anything at all.
How can I fix this big trouble?
I have the same problem with TWRP recovery, keeps rebooting over and over again, sometimes the recovery menu appearing and reboots after some seconds automatically, please help
I had the same problem with my i9300 with CWM recovery it kept booting back to recovery no mather what i did i can recoment 2 things
1.flash new recovery with odin(did not try this but xould help
2. Flash original samsung firmware also with odin (this helped me)
My advice i olny flash recovery with odin roms with recovery
Thank you. I could fix the problem by flashing another kind of recovery app.
1. Enter the odin mode (press volume_down + home + power when power up , http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Odin_mode )
2. Connect i9300 to PC via USB
3. Flash another kind of recovery app using Odin (in my case. CWMs are not work, but TWRPs are good)
