  8. I got the whole-file signature verification error, but I noticed my recovery mode isnt TWRP but the default one. so I figured I tried patching CWM via Odin, and thing got worse, my device wont boot into recovery at all, it kept rebooting infinitely LOL
    as a last effor I patched it back to TWRP via Odin, and guess what… the recovery mode boots into TWRP… hahaha… installed SuperSU fine, and now my device is rooted. I hope that helps, panicked a bit due to the cwm looping boot XD

    My device: SM-T111

  9. I followed all steps and gained root access with no problem. I rebooted and attempted to open supersu and immediately got a notice saying the binary needed to be updated. I followed the prompt and it enterred recovery mm mode and began installing some files. Then stopped and informed me that proceeding could disable root access. And asked if i wanted to cancel or continue. I pressed cancel. It then immediately rebooted, except it wouldnt boot, it only booted up to custom recovery. Now thats all i can do. I cannot get it to boot normally.
