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?^^

i also have an e617g on 4.1.2 bell network id like to root and unlock the bootloader so i can install cwm and finally swap roms, this is a nice phone but it barely exists on the web any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
Never mind figured it out myself. I may post a guide here soon. Seeing as any help I ask for is ignored. I'd rather help than hold back
Turn your lG-e617g into an LG-e610 then root it and install cyanogenmod.

this is my first tutorial so message me if something on here isnt clear.
step 1: download things, this is crucial, you need to download this stuff, it took me a while to find everything that ACTUALLY WORKED so i have it all in a nice little package to download.
step 2: make sure your phone is NOT plugged in the computer, install drivers if you do not have them. i have the drivers that worked for me in the package via direct download links. if they dont work for you somethings screwy with your computer and youll have to scour the internet to find drivers that'll work, google is your friend.
step 3: make sure your phone is recognised with your lappytop or computer. thats right i said lappytop, so sue me.
step 4nce all the drivers are installed and your phone is connected to the computer youll want to open up the folder labled: "LG FlashTool and Accessories" inside youll find "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" open that right up.
step 5: next youll see a modded lg tool made by some guy on the internet, im not sure who but he/she did a good job thanks man/wo-man!!
ok youll want to leave all settings to default dont touch any thing, its good to go as is.
step 6: make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled, use the kdz updater to browse for this file (download it via links in the package) "V10D_downgrade.kdz" then click on "Launch software update" this takes a while go make a coffee.
step 7: when its done its magic, your phone will boot up and youll see the LG logo for about 10 minutes any longer and your in a boot loop remove battery put it back in and hold both volume buttons down and power at the same time. time it carefully the lights on the soft keys will come on and a split second later the phone will slightly vibrate, the second you feel that press the home and hold it for about 10 seconds and the phone will do a hard reset, the phone will turn on now and initiate the first time use wizard, its in russian at first so just change your language to whatever, assuming english here. the phones software is now rooted just no su/superuser installed download from play store and update binary in settings of su app.
step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",
type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"
step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.
seems i cant upload the programs needed so all i can do is this:

changes the phones id from e617g to e610, startup wizard is in russian at first simply change to english.

That happens when the kdz file is corrupted. Redownload the firmware and try again
its more than likely a bad connection causing a bad download also are you starting off with an e617g or e610?
Will all app data, contacts, etc. be lost using this method? Thanks in advance!

Does this method actually unlock the network too? Can I use fido sim card? would it work?
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.

Welcome to XDA,
To root your phone you can follow the steps below. Remember you need to have a PC.
1. Download a custom recovery. You can download one from here. Make sure to download the Odin one (not anything else)
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxygrandprime.html
2. Download and install Samsung USB drive for PC from this link
http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
3. Download Odin from this XDA thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
4. Download and copy the SuperSU (root) file that I attached on this post. Should be attached below.
--Now downloading stuff finished. Let's go to the rooting---
1. Open up Odin and select the custom recovery zip in CP or AP or DL spot. Make sure other than Auto reboot and F.Reset time nothing is enabled. Both auto reboot and f.reset time should be enabled
2. Go-to about device and tap build number few times to enable developer option.
3. Go-to developer option and enable usb debugging.
4. Turn off your phone and goto download mode by holding down (Vol -) and (power/lock) and (home) button at the same time until there is a warning sign.
5. Press vol + to go to download mode. Put on USB cable to your phone from pc
6. On PC you should see a blue sign with a text like 'COM:01'. If you see it just press flash button.
--your custom recovery is flashed--
Now comes rooting
7. Once flashed Power off your phone again and hold down (vol +) + (home) + (power) and keep holding until Samsung logo
8.. you should be booted to recovery. Now flash the SuperSU zip attached at the 2nd post.
9. Reboot and your rooted

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.

Congrats for rooting your device
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.

Its showing because your device is not rooted. Mounting system requires root previlage in your device.
Root your device and try again.

Download the mena firmware, and then press and hold power button and volume down button it will force reboot your device, then your phone may get rebooted and go on black screen
Dont worry, take a deep breath and keep patience
And do the following steps
Install OST and follow the steps down here
The instructions will be for OST tool and for mena firmware but you can install Chinese varient too
Install OST tool
Now
1. Open ur directory, c:/program files x86/OST and replace the online update tool from there and delete the config file,
AND REMEMBER THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,
2. Open online update tool from ur directory only, from c:/program files x86/OST only, donot start it from any shortcut created on desktop or from start menu, just start it from its original directory,
if it still gives error about microsoft error warning, try fresh replacing ur online update tool again from the zip
And start the program from there only, once it successfully started
3. Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 file your one could be CNxxxx) and put ur phone into bootloader,
For now what you need to do is connect your phone and keep holding your power button for a while till it switches off your device and leave the button once if it turned of before it get rebooted
It should automatically take you to boot loader or else try this step for 1-2 time again you will surely rebooted to bootloader
Once it boot to bootloader
click next button on OST, now the first time u may stuck on flashing splash file and ur phone could restarted
4. Follow all the same steps again
5. Start the tool again
The tool will surely give u error for Microsoft.net
Dont panic

6. Remember no matter if u replace the file before error, it will give error for one time surely
7. Replace it again with online updating tool and the start it from the directory
8. Now Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 ( your one could be CNxxxx) file and put ur phone into bootloader
Same as above i told once to goto the bootloader by connecting phone and keep holding power button untin it get rebooted and release the power button just after the phone turns off and before it get rebooted.
9. Now it should be connected and click next this time your phone will get flashed successfully...if it give error again, then try one more time u will be successfully installed the mena firmware

Look every step is written, your phone will be recognised once you start ost tool
When u start the tool the ost will ask you to browse the firmware file with .nb0 extension
Then it will ask you to connect the phone
Now connect your phone
Then keep holding volume down and power button together, once your phone get turned off then it will show u that its been booted into bootloader or download mode, click next on ost tool and it will start flashing your device
Thats all

hi, i can't flash or update anything because i rooted my phone and making update will brick my phone : "10.After your phone rooted, you can reboot your phone. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTA UPDATES OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK AT STOCK RECOVERY (However I've never tested Magisk on Nokia 6), but I’ll recommend you to disable automatic update in settings."
