I am happy to help with any problems my subscribers are having on their android devices. I am going to need lots of info from you to help. 1. What device you are on. 2. What android version you are running. 3. What custom rom or stock rom / build number you are on. 4. What you have done to the device. 5. What recovery system you are using. With this info I will be able to help much faster. 

[@spartan456]

So I've got a tablet here, model GT-P5210, and I've gotten the correct firmware for it (or so I think). I got it from SamMobile, and it is for this device and it is the correct region (assuming Cellular South is Samsung's way of saying "it's for the US"). Every time I flash it with the firmware using Odin, it boots to the screen with the Android logo and the loading bar at the bottom and then shuts off. When it boots back up, it boots (once again) to the Android logo and then to a dead Android with a red triangle above it, and then it just reboots a second later. After a lot of time, I've determined that the stock recovery rom on this thing is somehow damaged (or the firmware I'm using is incompatible). Nothing I do will allow me to enter stock recovery mode to get it out of this boot loop. Any suggestions?

[@quarryman2]

Wonderful - Just unbricked my daughters Galaxy Tab 3 that we were about to recycle, Thank you for such a clear concise guide!

[@xxdjtheshadowxx3704]

what one do i do

[@JeffLebowskiOG]

I've done an unsuccessful root on my SM-T210R (Build MK1) a while ago. Today I've found your video, downloaded the necessary files and followed the instructions - Worked like a charm! I really appreciate the effort you've made, thank you!

[@ericmustermann9219]

hey, can you say, which differences between the 7 and the 8 in-device you know. did you think this can be done the same way with the 8in sm-t315?

[@charliehancock9570]

Hi I can see that the tablet you are working with in the video is an SM-T210R. I own a bricked SM-T210, can I still follow the same process as you and use the same kieshome, or would I need to install a different one for the SM-T210 model?

[@TfiveR]

Your walkthrough got my son's tab 3 back to life. I cannot tell you how this is appreciated. Seriously.

[@Rootjunkycom]

TfiveR glad I could help

[@nathanjones9495]

Mine doesn't work, and root junky avoided my comment for 2 months

[@smooveleader]

Does this method work with a SM-T217A? Since yesterday it got soft brick

[@erinvillarreal6322]

Do I have to root my tab to go back to stock OS? Tab updated last week to 4.4.2 and I hate if and am having problems now. I just want to go back to how it was before update. I have a SM-T217S and I know I need the files for my device. Just need to know if I have to root in order to go back to stock. I'm brand new to android. Nervous because I've bricked a few iPhones. Any help would be great!

[@dannyjohnstone777]

Question please! If I bought a galaxy tab 3 unlocked and then do a full reset, will I then have to unlock it again?

[@jamiebrown7695]

Thank you so much for the detailed video! Unbricked my tab in no time. The link you have for oden wont load, goes to Google drive saying it is corrupt.

[@MrPapacole1]

Rootjunky your the best been trying to fix my tab 3 for a while now its 1000% good .nuff respect

[@hativa7]

Hi I have same device, have done all that you instructed,when got to point where you hit start to download in Odin mine failed . any suggestion?

[@ReesesTechPieces]

when i begin to use the odin program, and transfer the files, the message box says setupconnection.. and it doesn't go past that, and suggestions?

[@jojobering4300]

just revive my tab back... :) thank you so much, after flashing for the second time... what did i do: boot up to recovery mode then factory reset the phone... wipe cache and rebooted it... after restarting, it didn't stay that far on glowing samsung logo... everything did go well... thank you so much...

[@Benicida81]

Is there a Difference between SM-210 and SM-210R, Firmware-vice i mean? I have the SM-210 and would like to know if the Firmware link below will work for my Tab 3 7 inch?

[@kuukihaya]

Does it matter if you use either XAC or XAR build number? I read 'round, and it said that the XAC is the Canadian build, and the XAR is the US build.

[@WonderWorld12391]

When I try to install Samsung drivers that app is blocked because my protection.I have Windows 10, but is this file safe?Fast answer please i dont know what to do with my tablet!!

[@tommyc510]

[@SwapnilSoni]

[@RossCanpolat]

I had CM11 installed and when i went to flash back to stock as per your instructions it reboots back into CM11 even though Odin passed. I tried wiping the device in TeamWin Recovery and it says it wiped successfully but again it boots back into CM11. Any suggestions?

[@Max-xe6df]

Does it matter if you have a SM-T110? Can you still put the same firmware on it?

[@yoyopeter4]

Hey i recently rooted my samsung galaxy tab 3 SM-T210R and when ever i try to turn it on it boots into CWM based rcovery mode i installed a supersu update because mine didnt have a binary and then i installed a newer update of it from google play store and then it said that it would put it into recovery mode and it did and now it wont get out of it please help. i have CWM v6.0.4.5 and i installed a root signed thing and i dont know how to stop it from booting into this mode

[@russdirect1]

Can you help me with my tab 3 7.0 t110? I cant boot up and when I go to recovery it says failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

[@TheKrShy]

I messed up when trying to root my samsung galaxy tab 3 (10.1), and am in a boot loop, i dont know which firmware to download, so i can odin it back. i googled the number KOT49H.P55210XXUBNK2 , but i cant find any firmware for it

[@RCloke-fv2fy]

Quick question, my restore is unsuccessful at "Secure Check Fail" I noticed one difference in the message from mine to yours. Yours says: system.img Mine says: system.img.ext Is that my issue, and if so, can I fix it? Right now, i'm stuck.

[@blistertit]

Worked like a charm! Thanks for taking the time to make the video

[@linussword1237]

[@shindvs]

Rootjunky Thanks & congrats my self unbrick my tab3 T211 with ur some procedure Thanks Vijay

[@lilazndumby]

I bricked my SM-210R and cant seem to get it to work at all anymore. I can boot up the CMW recovery, but when I try to install any zips and reboot to see if it works it gives me a bootloop. I tried many different .zip files but nothing seems to work, after fiddling with it for a while I notice a message that says no operating system. I been working on locating a OS that will be installed but nothing seems to have worked so far. This all started when I tried to root my tablet.

[@sareenghany3004]

Hi i have a question, i updated my galaxy tab 3 sm-T210 to software kitkat and now its giving lots of trouble. So if i unbrick and restore it, will it go back to jellybean?.

[@louie081399]

Hi RJ, I already unbrick my SG TAB 3 thanks for that. But when I'm trying to software update, still says "your device has been modified". what should i do? thanks for the reply.

[@cyrusgonzalez2912]

[@henk-jank1898]

thanks for the elborate video. A friend gave me his t210 that would not boot, only downoad mode would start. So I tried, but at the radio.img it failed and no other threads were fired up. Now I cannot get anything started on the t210. Any tips on what to try ?

[@sumayya003]

Are firmwares region specific? I downloaded 3 different firmwares are none of them work! I'm gonna pull my hair out ughh. I thought maybe there was so I downloaded two different Odin programs and neither recognizes the firmwares. It just ticks the "AP" or "PDA" but doesn't verify the firmware or anything. And yes I downloaded the one for my tab's model.

[@LeonardoRodriguez-nl8kq]

This really works. Bricked my Samsung Tab 3 (sm-t217s). Found the firmware, used Odin and unbricked the device. Thanks RootJunky, you rock.

[@Rootjunkycom]

Hello there, so here's my question: I recently bought the white tab and rooted it and everything, now I've changed my mind about the color and would like to return it and exchange it for the black one, the golden question is: is the binary custom reset after restoring the tab? could I exchange it at best buy? Thanks in advance!

[@christophergiannell3345]

Hey RootJunky - first, thank you a bunch! I tried to install Sweet Dreams v3.1 after I rooted and it made my tab too glitchy to use. I wiped system and used Odin to reinstall firmware, and everything works just like your video, but after it finished downloading, the screen went black and it shut down. When I go to turn back on, it just gives me a sound effect and a completel black screen. Not sure what to do. I booted back into Downloading Mode and I see the product name, Samsung Official Bindary, and a System Status of Custom. Not sure where to go from here.
