[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?^^

Asus Zenfone 5 (T00J) Lollipop - Unable To Root

tried everything , every possible and suggested way...
with zenfone rootkit, showing 'Rooting Please Wait, Waiting For Device' on pc screen and 'Fastboot Cmd Waiting' on mobile screen...
tried with different ADB installer versions...
tried with rootzenfone app for mobile...
also with kingroot...
with pc & without pc...
still nothing
if someone know the solution please convey...
thanx in advance...

Asus zenfone 5 is one of the best devices from the Asus and recently it
also got the lollipop 5.0 update as promised by the company but this is
not the topic I am here to discuss the most easy way to root your asus
zenfone 5 and I already published a video guide on it on our YouTube
channel its HowTrends. So, those guys who are facing problems and tried
a lot of thing to root asus zenfone 5 and at the end they failed, we
recommend them to go through this simple, easy and one click root
procedure.
This rooting procedure is tested on the Asus Zenfone 5 (CG501) Android
Lollipop 5.0 and Android Kitkat 4.4.2 V2.21.40.44 and working fine.
However if something goes wrong by your mistake then please don't held
I m not responsible for it, so go ahead at your own risk ..
Pre-Required files:
1.Asus Zenfone 5 Lollipop Rootkit
Http://d-h.st/0S31
2. Asus Zenfone 5 Kitkat Rootkit
www.mediafire.com/download/mjg542cd5w8my7w/HowTrends-RootZenFone5KitKatv4-ww.zip
3. Intel adb drivers for PC
www.mediafire.com/download/hxjosurat8o6ubk/HowTrends-IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.1.5.exe
Step to Root Asus Zenfone 5 Lollipop/Kitkat:
Download intel drivers and install it to your PC and the download the
RootKit as per your android version lollipop or kitkat to your PC. (i.e for
kitkat download kitkat root kit and for lollipop download lollipop root kit)
Enable usb debugging on your asus zenfone 5. To enable it first go to
settings > about phone > system information > build number. Tap 7 times
on build number and you will get the devloper settings in your android
settings.
Go to developer settings and enable USB debugging and connect your
phone with PC via usb cable and you will get a popup on your phone
select there always allow.
Refer pic 1
This is all you need to do with your Asus Zenfone 5. Now go to the folder
where you downloaded the root kit.
Rootkit will be a zip file so first unzip it and then press and hold shift
button and right click on file folder and you will see "open command
window here" option. choose it.
Now in command box type "adb devices" (without comma) and hit enter
and if you get "demon started successfully" message in command then
close that command and go ahead to the next step. otherwise try again
all above steps.
Refer pic 2
This will be the final step, open file Root-zenfone.bat and wait till that
window close automatically, during this process your phone will be
rebooted 4-5 times but no need to worry it is the part of the rooting
process.
Once your device bootup and starts then search for SuperSu app in your
app list, if supersu app is there it means you have successfully rooted your Asus Zenfone 5 then you can unplug your device from PC and enjoy the root features to your Asus Zenfone 5.

Worked for me, first time itself. Thanks for your effort. Now that my phone is rooted can you kindly refer me to sources where I can upgrade it to Lollipop. I've read many tutorials where they've shown how to upgrade to Lollipop from KitKat on a non-rooted device, but mine is rooted, so how do I upgrade?
Thanks, awaiting your reply.

Then your only option is using Kingroot. But that's causing problem for you. Can you give me the screenshot of Kingroot that has the problem for you. In past on 5.0 I also tried rooting with Kingroot and it worked fine for me. It works for everyone else as well.

Strange. It should work. I used Kingroot before and it was supported. Even the device is still in the official Kingroot supported device. Maybe it's not working because you have the latest XCS firmware installed. I use xcu and it's working for me.
Looks like you have no other option but use PC method.

I am sorry, I don't have it. I deleted it. But it doesn't matter which Kingroot you use. Because the root files are saved in server. Even if you use a very old version of Kingroot you will get the same root files as the new one has.
I deleted it because Kingroot is a malware (or at least I heard). It takes a lot of your personal details (like IMEI, Phone Number, etc) and adware in both statusbar and lock screen. So I don't like Kingroot that much.

To answer your question, nope. This method will not work on any other OEM like Sony, Xiaomi, LG, Nexus etc. This only works on Samsung devices.

Lenovo K8 Note (XT1902-3) - Fix Dead/Hard Bricked Phone,Downgrade to Nougat from Oreo

Revive Dead/Hard Bricked/Dead after Flash/LED doesn't light up the phone - K8 Note (XT1902-3)​
If you tried to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat and your device is hard-bricked. Don't worry, follow the procedure below...
1. If your device is fully hard bricked and doesn't boot up by pressing the power button, and also the white LED light doesn't light up while u connect the charger/power on the USB to the PC. Try pressing all the 3 buttons, Volume Up+Volume Down+Power Button for about 25-30 seconds and connect your phone through USB to SP Flash Tool (install all drivers before as said in step 3) and see whether it detects your phone (If it detects, go to step 3). If this also didn't work, don't get panic - follow step 2 (Dismantling your device - the only way to recover. But be cautious while doing it, use proper tools).
2. Remove your phone back cover carefully and disconnect the battery connector as shown in the video
. Use proper tools and a screwdriver. Connect the charger and see now, the LED light will blink surely (If it doesn't blink now also, then it's a hardware problem, you should go to the service centre only).
3. If the LED light blinks properly, then go to SP Flash Tool (download the latest version here - https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool), and in Options->Option go to Download and check USB Checksum and Storage Checksum. Then choose the option Download Only in the drop-down list. (Dont Forget to install all Drivers before - MTK Drivers and Lenovo USB Driver, links below)
MTK (USB DA COM,Preloader USB VCOM,USB Port,USB VCOM) Drivers : https://spflashtool.com/download/Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip
Lenovo USB Driver : https://lenovousbdriver.com/download/lenovo-driver-v1-1-33
(CAUTION : Don't select Format all+Download because if you mistakenly chose Format All+Download option it will delete all your IMEI no, Device Serial no, WIFI MAC address, and Bluetooth Address. But don't worry you can retrieve it through this method : https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-12328.html or
. Make sure you know all your IMEI no, and device serial no {You can get that from your device box, there will be a label in it}.

7. Then select Restart System now in Recovery Mode (Volume Up and Volume Down to Select between options and Power Button to OK). Viola...!!! Your system will reboot and your'e on Nougat Rom...!!!
{Note : After downgraded to Nougat, you won't get OTA update to Oreo. But you can get all the OTA updates of Nougat. Main thing: Don't use "fastboot oem lock" in downgraded Nougat Rom it may brick your device. Because while you lock the oem in downgraded version, the system updates will look for Oreo Rom so it wont boot as you already downgraded. If it's bricked try flashing Oreo Stock Rom using spflash tool. So try keep the "device unlocked. Orange Status......" text that comes while you boot up, always in downgraded Nougat Rom}
Follow the procedure correctly so you can retrieve your K8 Note, don't blame me if you totally damaged/bricked your device.

If u have installed twrp in oreo get rid of that and go for stock oreo recovery, if u have rooted already on oreo means unroot your mob, uninstall xposed/magisk manager if it's there. Then start the process with unlocked bootloader, go to fastboot mode and run flashall.bat inside the Stock Nougat Rom zip. After the process finished successfully the device will boot automatically. You may get some errors or not, no probs about it, go to recovery mode manually and factory reset your mobile. Restart the mob. This will surely work. Go for it...
Anyways, I feel good that you retrieved your phone back through Oreo Rom. :good:

Try factory resetting using Recovery mode, if u can go through it. Else flash Oreo Rom through latest version of spflash tool. Only Downgrade using fastboot mode....
