hello friends need help do not find this recovery.tar.md5
Link was broken and it has been updated..
While “Rooting” the device I get to step three then get “unable to verify whole-file signature” and then it just reboots
Hey read my reply to Leo Silva Souza and try it.
Trying to do that and having some difficulty actually doing it. Mind breaking it down barney style for me please?
I just can not get access on Custom Recovery mode … could anyone help me please ?
you have to wait about 5mins after samsung logo apears!!!! yeap its slow!!!!!
The root does now work. It always fail with error “Unable to verify whole-file signature” during the installation (Step 3).
Hey Leo you can try downloading SuperSU from here and flash it using the same instructions as mentioned above:
http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip
Do let me know?
I use Linux. To tackle this problem, I used the Heimdall Frontend. But it is giving the following error when selecting the T110.CWM.v6.0.4.8.tar.md5 file:
“Firmware.xml the package is missing”
Tried with this zip and got the same error from before. D:
When you flashed the Recovery, It should work. Just reboot it into Recovery Mode and Flash it. Just give it another try..
Dear All,
I found the solution for signature issue. You have to replace CWM with TWRP (via Odin) and then install android-armeabi-universal-root-signed from SD. This will allow to skip the error
I am having the same problem, please send me a video tutorial on how to root. I have been wanting to root for a long lime now, and it would be very helpful if you could help me.Thank you for sending me the video, and will visit this site more often, as well as share it around the world.

Hey Imran buddy do you know any thing about cheat engine for games?
If you are rooted you can installatie freedom, you can installatieit from 4 shared or if you wants the cracked playstore you can download lucky patcher
I can’t root my device after i finish the step of odin and i hold #volume up-home button-POWER BUTTON# it get me to the samsung logo and it restart regulary and when when i turn of my device and make it into recovey mod it don’t get my to clockworld mod and i install the file from choosing install zip from sd card and when i install it , it say error under the android logo and when i open root checker it say sorry you don’t have root access
Stuck on recovery menu help pleaase!!!!!!!!!!!!! everytime i hit reboot it just loads up the recovery menu and cant get to the home screen
I know this is a old post and you may of already resolved it, but you have to reflash the stock recovery and factory reset. After that you may restore your custom recovery and be able to boot
how do u do that I have the same problem please help me!
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
Man i love you so much!!!
thnx alot!!
I rebooted my tab after flash recovery step 9 its just a blank screen
hey thanks everything you guys do worked perfect.
my tab got bricked
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.
When i want to flash the CWM file with odin, odin says “MD5 hash is invalid”
Root Zip Package link is dead.

Go to Settings > About device and tap the build number for about 7 times and it should prompt you to enable the developer options.

I flashed in the custom recovery following the instructions to the letter but was unable to boot to custom recovery. if i try and do it straight from download mode i tried simply holding down the buttons continuously and it would display the first screen in booting then cut back to blank. as long as i held the buttons it would simply repeat that. i then tried booting the device as normal (which worked fine) then turning it off and attempting to boot to the custom recovery but it just boots to stock, can anyone help?
ROOT SUCCESSFUL!! 🙂
thanks! 🙂
