[HOW TO] Restore your tablet to stock + Reroot + Flash New Recovery

Before doing anything, make a backup to your external MicroSD card before continuing. Even if this method is very safe, and has been done several times without problems, we can't predict anything that may happen during the process.
RESTORE YOUR TABLET TO STOCK, APPLY ROOT, THEN FLASH A NEW RECOVERY.
This tutorial applies to both P3110 and P3113. They are the exact same models.​
REQUIRED:
Odin ( Take any version you wish. The latest ones should do the trick )
The stock Firmware file. Concerning this part, Google is your friend.
The official Samsung USB Cable that came with your tablet. It is recommended (but optional) to connect your tablet into your computer's built-in USB ports.
The latest Odin-flashable recovery. ( P3113 uses P3110 files )
CF-Auto-Root
Patience
Returning your device to a like-new state.:
1. Boot into Recovery Mode. This can be achieved by holding Volume Up + Power when your device is powered off.
2. Wipe all data. [ Factory Reset ( /data /cache ), System ( /system ) and Internal Data ( /media/storage )
3. Reboot into Download Mode. Usually found on the Advanced Options of most CWM-based recoveries.
It happens that your Tablet cannot boot into Download Mode due to various reasons. There is a battery trick that can be achieved. Do it when you absolutely cannot boot into Download Mode.
1. Remove your tablet's battery.
2. Connect your tablet to your computer
3. Your device should automatically boot into Download Mode.
4. Put back your Battery back into your device.

Hi, I have PA installed with TWRP installed. I downloaded my firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/. Do I need to flash the stock kernel as well? and stock recovery? Sorry for the noob question.

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I've gone to a couple of firmware sites and I can't find US firmware. Is there anywhere I can get that?

Does anyone have a link that's not to one of these stupid-ass, lame, @#$%ing pay download sites?
3 hours for firmware? WTF?

I have a similar situation. A previous rooting operation on my Tab2 7 P3113TS was either bad or partial and it appears it will not go into the download mode. power-pgup, power-pgdn, or just power all go to the Samsung splash screen then to a blue VeinDroid rom screen but no further. I tried 3 different version of ODIN and all recognize the device (port goes yellow) but cannot communicate. It stops at the SetupConnection step. Is this thing toast or is there something I'm missing?

WaryLouka said:
If a message is shown, press Volume Up. If you can't enter downloadmode normally, try doing "adb reboot download" in ADB. If you still can't, connect your phone to your computer, REMOVE THE BATTERY, hold Volume Up/Down + Power until DownloadMode is entered and put the battery in again. If your phone doesn't boot or/and battery trick doesn't work, use an USB Jig. If theres no usb jig, while until the battery icon is shown ( charging ) then do "adb reboot download" in ADB.

Are you serious????
REMOVE THE BATTERY????
I think it's not recommended to do anything like this only because of flashing a Fw, isn't it?^^

Yep. Try this:
1. (Dont conect ur phone to ur pc for do this step) Open Kies3 normally and update it to the latest version (Menú Information - Check for updates). It will ask u for uninstall the old for continue the installation, select always YES)
2. Use other USB conector of ur pc to conect ur smartphone
3. I hope it will solve the problems

Somebady???

Ummm.... what I don't understand.... why do you want to initialize your device?
As far as I can remember, my S2 (I-9100) did not support that with stock software.
And I just checked, my S4 (I-9505) does not support that either...

Samsung back to official status + OTA Updates

Hi there!
I saw many questions about returning back to official device status and receveing OTA updates after device was rooted with or without a different custom rom.
All you need is Odin3_v3.09 and your official ROM witch you can download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
1. Shut down your device, and turn it on in download mode (VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER) than enter download mode (VOL UP)
2. Install Samsung drivers for your model.. search google
3. Open Odin connect USB cabble wait for connection COM to come blue or yellow
4. Load as PDA / AP your file extracted *.tar.md5, be sure that you didn't tick other than Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time
5. Hit START ! (don't touch your device, don't chuing your cabble ..don't move it .. just do nothing !!!)
6. When you see a green message FINISH in up left corner you can unplug the cabble and just wait for device to boot
Now you are UNROOT-ed .. your KNOX is still 0x1..and that means you cannot use Knox if you try to install / run it will say " Your device is not authorize to use Knox".. BUT you can download OTA updates and everything seems to get back to how it was .. Device status become also Official
You can Re- Root anytime you want..
Good luck guys
Best regards,
Andrew

You'll want to use ODIN to restore your phone to normal. Your computer will not recognized your phone as a USB storage device, but ODIN should be able to see it.
You'll need to find the correct ODIN files for your phone type (Tmobile, Verizon, etc and the ROM combo). If you just go to "http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5" you'll see different sections based on the service provider; the ODIN files will be in there somewhere.
Once you find the thread there will be accompanying instructions on what to do.

thank's for your reply .
I've experimented with many files ODIN. but any of them did not succeed !
and before this problem, No computer connects to mobile !
model phone : G-900F :crying:

download mode working? press all at the same time: vol down + menu + power button. then follow instruction (press vol up to confirm enter download mode).
once your phone on download mode then connect to PC. ODIN should recognize your phone n flash it. (i assume your PC has all driver installed and u have correct firmware for yr variant)

Don"t freak out.

Mohammed this thread is probably going to be closed. because again its not where it should be. so PM me if this isn't clear .
i wipe system every time i try a new ROM. so dont panic okay
whatever the issue with RECOVERY it doesn't matter if the odin mode or download is still reachable.
if u having trouble with PC recognizing odin mode on your phone. try to make sure u have both samsung usb and google usb drivers.
( NOTE: if it still doesnt recognized it try another usb cable. )

and if it does launch ODIN 3.09 . and make sure that u have the right firmware for g-900f in good state not corrupted.

Thankz bro for your Guide and sorry for my late reply i follow your guide but unable to resolve my problem only airtel and vodafone sims get network i tried reliance gsm,aircel,bsnl,idea all sims get network only for 2 minutes and then network are gone in only emergency mode.
Hope you understand my problem

If ur problem is not solved then 1st format your phone then download latest firmware available for ur device extract firmware file then go to odin connect to pc via an usb cable and go to download mode by pressing volume down+home button+power button together and then u will see an android icon after this u need to press volume up button to go to download mode then select ap option in odin (Note:- U need to check only ap option and select the tar.md5 file that u've get from firmware file after extract.)then click start button it will take time about 10 to 15 minutes. After pass msg u will see that your phone automatically rebooted and it is booting and after 2 or 3 mins complete your setup and check those sim Cards which is not working for u.(I Think Surely It Should Work For You)
