If you own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210/210R and are looking to install a custom recovery in it, we have the guide for you.

In this guide we’re going to walk you through installing either CWM Recovery v 6.0.4.9 or TWRP Recovery 2.8 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. But, before we do, here are a few reasons why you might want a custom recovery on your device:

• It allows you to install custom roms and mods.
• Allows you to create a Nandroid back up which will let you return your phone to its previous working state
• If you want to root a device, you need custom recovery to flash SuperSu.zip.
• If you have custom recovery you can wipe cache and dalvik cache

Prepare the Tablet:

1. Make sure your tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM T210 or T210R. Don’t use the guide with other devices.
   • Check device model number: Settings > General> About Device.
2. You tablet’s battery is charged to at least over 60 percent. This is to ensure that your device doesn’t run out of power before the flashing process ends.
3. Back up your important media content, sms messages, contacts and call logs.
4. You have a OEM data cable to connect the tablet to a PC.
5. You have switched off your anti-virus programs and firewalls.

Note: The methods needed to flash custom recoveries, roms and to root your phone can result in bricking your device. Rooting your device will also void the warranty and it will no longer be eligible for free device services from manufacturers or warranty providers. Be responsible and keep these in mind before you decide to proceed on your own responsibility. In case a mishap occurs, we or the device manufacturers should never be held responsible.

Just visited the XDA developer website forums and found that a custom ROM for Galaxy Tab P1000 already available. The CyanogenMod 11.0 custom ROM, built and compiled by terenceng, I just downloaded the ROM and flashed to my Galaxy Tab P1000 via CWM Recovery.

UPDATE: There is unofficial release of CyanogenMod 13 which is based-on Android 6.0 Marshmallow available to download. You can follow our tutorial on how to install CyanogenMod 13 on Galaxy Tab P1000.

The ROM flashed successfully smoothly. According to the forum post, it should have all the features mentioned there however in the result the very important thing, Mobile Networks, is not there…dohh!! It is missing, so my GT-P1000 flashed with this ROM is not capable to send SMS, phone call, 3G data and other mobile network-related tasks. It is confirmed that other users also experiencing the same issue that no mobile networks on this ROM. The latest build now supports Mobile networks (sms/call, data services). See the update below!

Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 Features

UPDATE!!! 27 Nov 2013 – the developer just released a new version cm-11-20131127-terenceng-p1.zip which supports Mobile networks feature. I have tested send/receive SMS, make/receive call, and Data services (3G/HSDPA), it is working well so far. You must upgrade to this version if you are already in the CM 11.

5 Dec 2013 – the developer released a new version cm-11-20131205-terenceng-p1.zip which works almost perfect. In the new build Screenshot now working (Enable screenshot: Settings > Buttons > Power menu > Screenshot. To take screenshot: hold Power button and tap Screenshot). Switching between portrait and landscape mode are now also smooth. Since Google Play is removed in this build, you need to download and install Google Apps manually. You can download the Google Apps packages from here (Banks GApps).

7 Dec 2013 – Official CyanogenMod 11 nightly build for Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 is available for download from CyanogenMod website. It is based-on Android 4.4.1 KitKat which comes with several bug fixes. WhatsApp application now runs on ART mode on this build. You still need to download and install separately/manually the Google Apps (Banks GApps 4.4.1 works well).

The Wifi is running perfectly. I tried to install some popular apps such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Google Chrome, Google Maps, GMail, YouTube and WhatsApp Messenger. They are working without any problems. However, one of my favourite app, Google+, is not available. It said that ‘Your device isn’t compatible with this version‘ when I tried to install Google+ app. Google+ now running well on this build.

If you want to try download and install this ROM, the download link can be found in the forum post above.
