I went through the process of rooting and installing 3.1 yesterday on my I/O edition of the Galaxy Tab. I ran into a couple of snags because:
1) I cannot boot into recovery using a button combination (see image)
2) 'adb reboot recovery' will simply turn off the device while I am on 3.1 (works on 3.0.1)
So, I eventually got it all fixed. Had my tab running the Touchwiz UX with root. Then I needed to use Busybox but did not have that installed. So, I used pershoot's package to install root, busybox, etc. Upon flashing that file, I lost root. Now I am unable to boot into recovery because I am back on a 3.1 version where adb does not work and I cannot use any apps to reboot to recovery because I lost root.
How can I get a non-rooted version of 3.1 into recovery?
Also, why can I not get fastboot to work? I have the drivers installed, and when the device is in fastboot & plugged in, I see a fastboot in my Device Manager. But fastboot devices yields no results.
In the attached images -- 0702 shows the screen I get when I use the POW + Vol Down combination -- a USB icon (taking me into fastboot) and download mode for ODIN.
0708 is just the screen showing fastboot when I select the USB icon at that screen.
You cant boot into recovery with hardware buttons on the I/O TAB 10.1
this is what i done:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gcenefqc3khcc0c
= PDA SIGNED P7105.tar.zip (ODIN REQUIRED TO FLASH)
Dont worry about the P7105 .. this is for the P7510 (TYPO)
This is Android Honeycomb 3.0 ... However, you have root & su.
Once you are all booted:
1-Go to market
2-Install Clockworkmod Recovery.
3- flash clockworkmod recovery for the tab 10.1
download the update.zip (Touchwiz UX) and put it in the root of you SD card.
download su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511 and put it in the root of your sd card.
go to clockworkdmod on your tab & choose reboot into recovery option.
flash the update.zip (touchwiz ux)
flash the su_busybox_misc-sam_tab_10.1-051511
data/factory wipe
reboot....
you will have 3.1 Touchwiz UX & root.

That's exactly what I needed to read. Now I can stop looking for the 'fix.'
THanks!
i tried to do this as well but have a problem with boot loop - and thoughts on how to get around this?

why don't you guys grab the bootloader.tar.md5 file from stock roms, and flash them via odin! Than you can choose between odin(download) and recovery directly with keys combo. But remember not to select re-partition else your bootloader will be locked!Once in recovery, try clearing cache, data else flashing a stock rom!

I have the same problem. The first time i went through flash TW and then it just got stuck on a blank black screen. I ran the ODIN PDA flash again and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with the SAMSUNG symbol that flies through the stars. Did you get a way around this?

miui v5 by gtbluesky
i tried this rom on lg g2 4.4.2 kitkat stock rooted with twrp recovery and it isn't stable (camera doesn't work, sim card isn't readable)
the solution was to flash philz touch recovery (CWM) for the aroma installer to work properly. But i couldn't install cwm on 4.4.2.
I now enjoy miui on my lg g2 fully working (except some bugs) by doing the following:
downgrading my phones rom to 4.2.2 (before downgrading you should wipe davlik cache and cache and data, and if possible internal storage)
then rooting it with ioroot.
To install the recovery:
-Enable USB Debuging Mode
-USB connection Mode Media sync (MTP)
-Root is required
then download this batch file with the recovery to install
After that proceed to flash the miui zip file and enjoy miui, if you have any questions post in the thread and i will try to help you
4.2.2 stock download link :Here the link which isn't labeled kitkat is jellybean 4.2.2 make sure you select your correct version of device 16gb,32gb
miui battey life
=================================
if you are stuck in bootloop hold the power button to turn off the device. Then hold power button and volume down until you get the lg logo, after that quickly release both button then hold them again to enter the recovery menu and reset your phone
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 3.
As of yesterday it was functioning perfectly with a rooted stock Android 5.0 I tried to put a custom rom on it so I could use xposed and it has been borked ever since, I will list the steps I took and everything I've tried and their results below:
(I did full wipes in between each different flash)
1. Flashed TWRP with Odin (worked)
2. Flashed CyanogenMod with TWRP (worked)
3. Booted into CM to discover I could not get any data connection (could still make calls)
3. Booted to TWRP and flashed DarkLord rom (said there were errors [writing symlinks], caused boot loop)
4. Tried step 3 with Norma rom, CivZ rom, and a Stock Rooted rom (all same results of boot loop)
5. Booted to download mode and tried to flash samsung stock kitkat (just said failed)
6. Booted to download mode and tried to flash samsung stock lolipop (failed)
7. Booted back to TWRP and flashed CM again (this time not only no data, but no calls either)
Seems like maybe one of the issues may be the abundance of region codes and whatnot for all of these roms (including samsung official) and none of them seem to be for USA.
Does anyone have any suggestions or help to offer that I haven't already tried? I don't care what the rom is at this point, I just need a working phone that makes calls and has data as I'm out of town away from family and need to be in touch.
That said, obviously my preference would be to have a rooted KitKat rom so I can install xposed, or a rooted lolipop that isn't a samsung ART (for the same reason), but I'll genuinely be happy with anything that works.
I could be wrong, but is it maybe best to stick with CM simply because it's the only thing that will boot right now? If so how would I go about solving the non existence of a network connection.
I am also using Ting as a provider and they hop off Sprint networks. I had full bars of signal in this location the entire time when I was stock. Thanks in advance!

1. Power off your phone completely
2. Boot into download mode (power + volume down button - then press volume up button to get into download)
3. Use Odin to flash this, which is the tar for OC5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/romodin-t3095540
4. Reboot into STOCK recovery and factory default reset. If you skip this step, you will have issues
5. Once booted into OS, power off again and re-do step # 2 to get into download mode
6. Use Odin to flash TWRP
7. Once complete, immediately reboot into TWRP, or you will be dumped into stock recovery next time you try to get into recovery. I've done it this way since MJ4 and never had an issue.
8. Wipe everything including internal storage - NOT your external SD
9. Install ROM of your choice; I would recommend this one which is deodex and will allow you to install Xposed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/rom-t3132662
10. Profit
Good luck!

Thank you so much for such a quick response! I'm downloading the file now and will be trying this as soon as it's completed. Also the rom you recommended was one I tried that failed, but hopefully with your extra steps it will work because it looks exactly like what I'm looking for.
UPDATE:
That worked fantastic @rpenrod23 thank you so much! Where is your donate button?
I'd say I'm above average when it comes to rooting and installing ROMS, but this one has be stumped. It may just be that I simply need to flash the stock ROM and try again, but here's my dilemma.
I successfully installed the correct version of TWRP for my tablet, as was I able to root it, but Xposed posed an issue. Upon flashing Wanam's custome Xposed zip, I am got the dreaded "Encryption Failed" screen. Assuming that Wanam's custom Xposed zip is what I need, because I'm using a Samsung device, what might I have done wrong? I have now formatted and wiped everything and am back to the setting up the device run through, but TWRP is still installed. If I do need to flash the stock ROM (firmware), I can't because I have not found it when searching here or Google.
If anyone has successfully installed TWRP, rooted, and installed Xposed on this tablet, I beg of your assistance. Also, a link to the stock firmware would be amazing.
EDIT: I will add that after I was able to get back to setting up the tablet and no longer facing the "Encryption" boot loop, as well as flashing Wanam's Xposed uninstall zip, I no longer have root and flashing the Chainfire SuperSU does not give root, but brings back the "Encryption" boot loop.
EDIT 2: I have found the stock firmware for this tablet. I found it on two file hosts. One is the well-known RapidGator. The other is an obscure (to me anyway) filehost called Alfafile. I am downloading it from Alfafile because RapidGator makes you pay for their premium service to download a file this large (1.6 GB), but the speed is awful to say the least. Once I download it, I want to share it. Where could I upload this that it would be available to everyone without paying a premium price, a site we are allowed to link on here??
Success... at last!
I did download the correct stock ROM (including boot.img, recovery.img and system.img). It was found as XAR-T580UEU1APG1-20160905144918.zip located HERE. This is the correct stock ROM for this device.
Before trying any of these steps, make sure you have installed the latest Samsung drivers. It may take a few minutes during some of these steps for the drivers to install. If at any point during these steps Windows has a notification that it is installing drivers, stop and wait until the drivers are finished installing. I noticed that a "Gadget Serial" installed when I connected my tablet to Odin in Download Mode. If that happens it's fine, let the drivers install before moving forward. Also it should be noted that this was performed using a PC with Windows 7 Professional.
COME WITH ME ON MY JOURNEY TO FREEDOM!
1. Boot in stock recovery
Hold Volume Up button + Home button + Power button
-OR-
Power off, wait for battery charge screen to come up, the hold Volume Up button + Home button + Power button
2. Wipe data & Factory reset
Press the Volume Down button until wipe data/factory reset is selected (highlighted/colored), then press the Power button, on the following screen use the Volume Up button or Volume Down button to select Yes and then press the Power button, once your screen is back on the main screen where you started, continue to step 3
3. Boot to Download Mode from stock recovery (do not boot to Android OS)
Press and hold Volume Down button + Home button + Power button
4. Odin, prep for flash and connect tablet (latest version, v3.12 at the time of this posting)
Open Odin and click options, then uncheck Auto reboot, and finally plugin your the USB cable into your tablet and PC. Once Odin recognizes your tablet, the far left box under ID:COM will turn blue and the Log tab will say "Added!!"
5. Flash TWRP custom recovery (twrp-3.0.2-0-gtaxlwifi.img.tar)
Click the AP button and find where you saved the TWRP zip.
Once the box next to AP is checked, click Start, if successful the Log will say "Successful 1 / Fail 0".
If this was successful, move on to step 6. Note that you don't have to unplug your tablet from the PC, just close Odin.
6. Boot to TWRP recovery (do not boot to Android OS). This step can be a tricky one and requires good timing. It is important to do these steps quickly.
From Download Mode, press and hold the Volume Down button + Home button + Power button (the Download Mode combo) until the screen goes black, then immediately press and hold the Volume Up button + Home button + Power button (the Recovery mode combo). You must switch from the Download Mode button combo to the Recovery Mode button combo before the Galaxy Tab boot screen appears. If you're too slow, you will have to go back to flash the stock ROM back to the tablet and start back at step 1.
Once in Recovery Mode, swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen, tap mount, and verify that the box next to Data is checked. Once that is verified, you can flash the SuperSU (SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928.zip).
If you had not already copied it to your tablet, you can do this now since Windows should recognize it and allow you to copy the zip file to the table. You can also copy it to the external SD card if you have one and flash from there.
Once you have the SuperSU on your tablet, tap install from the main TWRP screen and then find it (you may have to search the folders), tap on it, and then tap install. If you are wanting to flash Xposed (xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.zip), or the boot image patcher (no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip), do not check the reboot box. Just swipe and flash SuperSU. Once done, go back and select the Xposed zip and flash. Once it is finished, go ahead and reboot, unless you also want to flash the boot image patcher to remove encryption. If you do, install, flash, and then reboot system.
NOTE: If you are going to flash all 3 (SuperSU, boot image patcher, and Xposed) do them in that order.
7. Confirm your work
Once Android is booted, check the SuperSu app and you'll verify you're rooted. Go ahead and reboot into TWRP recovery and you're Data partion is mounted and unencrypted. Now go ahead and install Xposed Installer (XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk) and you're ready to download and use Xposed modules.
I followed these steps and have my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) (Model SM-T580NZWAXAR) rooted, unencrypted (data partition mounts in TWRP recovery), and Xposed framework installed flawlessly with no boot loops, no lost Data partition, no Encryption errors, and no hassel. All credit for the mentioned files and part of the steps to achieve this go to those that the credit is due. My contribtion is merely my journey and this 5 times tested, yes, I completely wiped and formatted my entire device and did this method 4 more times after I had success before writing this, to help others that might be frustrated for days as I was.

Thanks for this, I'll be looking to root my tab after the holidays.....:fingers-crossed:

Why should it be necessary to flash the whole ROM again?
I know that many ROMs reset the recovery to default, if TWRP hasn't patched the system, but then it should be enough to flash the custom recovery again.

When flashing the custom recovery, your Data will be unencrypted until you boot to Android OS.
In order to have an unencrypted Data partition, you have to follow these instructions in this order. If you are too slow and boot into the Android OS, you have missed the step and Data will become encrypted. Going back to Stock will once again reset the Data partition to unencrypted in order to properly make it permanently unencrypted.
Anyone unencrypted Data partition is needed in order to flash SuperSU, Xposed, the unencrypted method, or anything else in TWRP. The only exception may be flashing from external sd.
Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this should answer your question.
Wow thank you worked so well best of all guides

To achieve this it is sufficient to format data partition in TWRP before flashing files, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ifi-galaxy-t3437666/post68154208#post68154208

Thanks for the info. I do welcome improvements to my instructions. I want to emphasize that these steps were the steps I took and that I figured out these steps on my own because there were no other instructions available that I could find. I'm always learning and growing!
