Thanks! Ill definitely keep note of that. Thanks so much! Btw about the cache part. Did you unpack it and add the recovery? What were the other files you changed in it.? Sorry for all these questions. But you should post the cfautoroot port in the development section. Also, so you did you change the recovery. Img from the tar? You just needed to edit the cache stuff inside of it correct? How would you unpack the cache, I tried one way but didnt work. Thanks for your help!

I don't mind if you post the download link in the android development section. I was hoping to hear from others about the root to see if any other bugs were found. I've been using for a week or so without any other problems.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You can factory reset from within the stock recovery. However if you are willing to check some details on your phone I will try and build cwm recovery for you.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I think I've got the boot and recovery. I just need some info from the device itself.

Basically I need to know some info about the t807p partitions so if someone could just run the 3 following commands either in a terminal from the device or using adb and then copy and paste or screenshot the output here:

1. cat /proc/partitions

2. ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

3. df -k

Of course I realize that this isn't for cars... However, considering that this was my post & im just enjoyin casual conversation, in conjunction w "MY" Discussion Thread of which "I" began, I personally see nothing wrong w sharing information on/about plans and/or hobbies that might be accomplishments that I am doing beforehand or might need to do first. Besides, If you have taken the time to read the beginning of the article (or simply noticed the "OP" following my name) you should've noticed and realized this small, yet important "attention to detail" fact that: "sure, I know this already!" So, what's the problem exactly w sharing something extra w some people here, that I find exciting although, still pertains to technology, computers, and writing programming to an ECU on a vehicle. Heck, one day someone here might, get the idea to maybe, hardware hack a smart device; hoping to replace entirely an ECU, diagnostics tool, and tuning hardware & software all together. But, honestly, why does it really matter? Our discussion is still on topic. *Kisses* x X x : * LoL
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VenomousViper:
I'm trying it now... BTW I cought up on some reading and noticed that people are having some problems w the actual "rooting" process w some models right? If that's the case tell people that they should try completely removing "Kies" from both devices (that is "IF" installed on their PC/Laptop/MAC and also on their tablet/phone Smart Devices), also have people try using their USB 2.0 ports VS their USB 3.0 Ports! I made a post on this w the Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 PRO. I kept receiving simular error messages w Odin. After, I figured out that this was the cause of my installs failing to stick, I quickly resolved the issue & I had no more troubles. Something that is worth evaluating, especially to see if this might be the cause of the installation errors since since it's strikingly familiar in comparison to my SM-P900 errors! Hope it's just as simple or people already have figured it out.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
After a few build errors I've managed to compile CWM. The link is below if you want to test it. There are 3 files - a recovery.img which you can flash with flashify, a CWM tar file for ODIN and the stock recovery in case you get soft bricked.

I suggest you backup your stock recovery with flashify first.

If anyone can confirm it working, then you may see some custom roms.(probably from me since im the only one supporting these devices). Btw i got ubuntu set up with basic tools.

Strange it doesn't work as the Exynos version I built works perfectly.

All I can do is try to build it with the Kernel from your recovery as I would have at least expected it to boot into recovery if the kernel was correct.

Did you flash the stock recovery back I posted and if so does that work ok?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jono1767:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I'm working on it, the recovery is likely working, but it seems Samsungs stupid knox security is preventing the recovery from running. It works fine on the Exynos version and also no problem on my HTC m8 which uses the same platform. I'm building the recovery the same way, so at the moment I'm scratching my head. I've seen that others have had the same problem with Samsung devices with kitkat that uses Selinux which is what seems to be causing the problem.

It's strange because I am building from CM11 sources which has Selinux support implemented.

Anyway I've made a couple more builds for testing:

Recovery is not seandroid enforcing

no go I tried a few different ones sorry..
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpalmer:
That message is not an error and makes no difference as to whether or not the recovery is going to boot. That message is from the bootloader and telling you that the recovery you are booting was not signed with Samsung digital keys and it has not marked the device as tampered wrt the recovery (it keeps separate recovery and kernel tamper flags).

If you're stuck on that screen then most likely either the kernel is not booting (e.g. it's not the right kernel) or once the kernel is booting the video drivers are not working right for some reason.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Thanks for replying to my message and chiming in on this.

The kernel, dtb file and command line are all pulled from stock recovery and these are a repack with the cwm recovery as there is no device tree for this model, so having to build without.

The closest thing is the t525, I have checked out your repo for this, but not sure if anything's useable.

Regarding your comment about video drivers, if this was the issue wouldn't recovery still boot, but the screen just be blank?

Also I notice this isn't an isolated case, seen plenty of others facing the same problem. Even older versions of twrp had similar problems with some Samsung devices.

Is there anything you could suggest?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Great news, glad it's working.

Jono could you get a couple of screen shots for me and send me the recovery log? You can take screenshots within twrp by pressing vol down + power. You should see the screen flash.

Could you take a shot of the advanced wipe options and the mount options.

Recovery log option is under advanced settings.

Also could you check adb is working. You can check this by typing 'adb devices' into a Windows command window from where you have the adb binary installed.

You should see a mix of numbers and letters listed after 'devices attached'

Then type - adb shell

This should get you into the shell.

Once we confirm everything is working including the Rom then DUHAsianSKILLZ will probably post it all in the development forum.

EDIT: I have uploaded another build, this one should fix any ADB issues (I.E. adb not being able to get root using the command 'adb shell')

Have also added OTG-USB mount option and renamed external sd card to 'Micro sd card'
