How to repair-unbrick-solve my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1" after rooting
I was trying to root my device, but I think something went wrong. I may have bricked my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1.

I was trying to root my device, but I think something went wrong. I may have bricked my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1.
When I noticed that the device was in loop, I tried to root with the
CF-Auto-Root
file a few times with Odin3-v3.07
The tablet doesn't start up. The only way to turn it on is to plug the USB cable in, then it starts and doesn't pass through Loading Screen where it says 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 3' something like that.
And when I connect into my PC, it starts up but keeps itself in a loop.
By loop i mean -> Turn on, Show Galaxy Tab 3, restart and show again...and again...and again...
Now i think i could get him to charge his battery..i hope at least, cause when he was in a loop i think he didn't charge as well as it should...
I try to go Recovery mode, to try to wipe those sys folders that we know can help in this loop scenario, but it just won't start recover mode, i think it did just now, but battery was low so to avoid further problems, he just says battery low or voltage low...something like that...too fast to read...And then he just turn off...
I do have TWRP to recover, i did a sys bkp before, is on my ExtSdCard, but i took it off from the slot for now...When i first saw on web that if not enough free space is available it can get to startup loop, but as i choose my ExtSdCard to save my Sys BKP i don't think that is the problem...Should i put it back in?
Sorry
Can someone give some hint, anything really?
Oh and i downloaded the ZTO version of firmware already to try out later...if i can't get it to at least work for boot...if...just if...
But i saw here that some have been able to unbrick so i'll die trying :D
I hope not literally..haha
Firmware that I downloaded is
ZTO-P5200UBUAMF6-20130801180132.zip
~1.1Gb
There are a few different types of bricked devices: hard brick, soft brick or coma brick. Which one applies to my situation?
I live in Brazil, so English is not my native language, sorry for any mistakes I might have made.

Galaxy Tab S3 suddenly can't support SD cards

After the Sept Update (now shows "Software update to T827VVRU3CSH4), my Verizon Galaxy Tab S3 stopped "supporting" the SD card that I've been using for the past year or so. It now does 1 of 2 things for all SD cards:
1. Displays a message "Unsupported SD card". "This device doesn't
support this SD card. Tap to setup in a supported format". I've tried formatting the same, previously working SD card a few times now, but no luck.
I've also tried 2 other SD cards, but they too cause the same, repetitive formatting prompt.
2. Doesn't recognized at all
Has anyone else experienced this recently? I'm wondering if it might be a bug in the recent update, or something specific to my tablet + SD cards.

**where the problem might be located**
my skill is decent regarding soldering and so on, and I am willing to repair it myself
P.S. the tab does not boot due to dry and un rechargeable battery

GT-P5210 bootloop
I've been trying to root my Galaxy tab 3 (i think 4.2.2) for a while and recently did it. But after I installed supersu from TWRP, my tab wouldn't boot normally and would keep looping. I tried flashing the firmware back and rooting it again but it didn't do anything. I appreciate any ideas.

I own a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, and I just updated it to Android 4.4.2. I have a Zagg Folio Tab 4 10.1, and up until the update, it worked perfectly fine. Now, it connects to my tablet, but input does not work. I've cleared my cache and the Bluetooth cache, but neither have worked. Also, I have tried unpairing and re-pairing it. I also paired it to my Galaxy S4, which worked fine. I then re-paired it to my Tab 3, but that did not work either. What can I do to fix it?

got a problem with my samsung tab3 10.1 (5200), installed twrp and rooted the device and after that i formatted it in twrp to install a fresh android on an empty tablet. But install couldn't work , the installer couldn't make directories data and others so the install did not work ( took about 2 minutes) but at the end it says succesfull.
It cant boot past samsung logo because i think nothing really installed.
Anyone has an idea to try and install in another way ?
I'm trying to instal cwm now but says md5 hash invalid and same with the twrp file which is on the device.

i've been trying to find a way to allow all my notifications and phone calls from my phone ( galaxy s3 or galaxy s5) to go through a galaxy tablet, as i'm wanting to replace my car stereo ( honda civic 2007) with the tablet and i'm wanting to be able to control my phone from the tablet and stream music from the phone. the closest thing i can think of that does this is the galaxy gear watch so can we put the capabilities of the gear in the tab.
below is a list of things i wish to have.
- Hands free
- music sync or transfer
- control music
- allow the use of my data from my phone ( i know i can tether but i just thought i would mention it
- make calls
- view contacts from phone
- use maps
I really do think this is possible, so if anyone has any thoughts if this is possible then please help me out.

A little more searching gave me the feeling that this kind of ROM **will never be available** for downgrading.
Does anyone know if such a ROM exists, or if it is impossible to exist?

I am trying to root my tablet and it won't show up in My Computer when I plug it in. I have tried different ports and have tried rebooting the phone. I just purchased it 5 hours ago. I have Windows 7. I installed some Samsung drivers, but I am not 100% sure they are the ones I need (I got them from a guide).
I don't have an SD Card, but I do have 8 GBs of internal memory. I have Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 T210R with WiFi.
Thank you!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 not working with Android SDK
I can not get Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 to be seen in Eclipse Android SDK. I believe the problem is related to the usb device driver. I loaded Samsung Kies and it sees the device fine, just not Eclipse.
