Nope, doesn't work either. I still the "Galaxy has stopped" message and cannot get past "This Tablet belongs to..." :(

This cannot be. I cannot be the only Galaxy Tab S owner in the universe where flashing stock firmware results in an unusable tablet. :mad: I must be doing something wrong. To recap:

I shut down the tablet.

I start it again using PWR, VOL+ and Home to get into recovery.

I wipe data (factory reset).

I clear the dalvik cache.

I reboot and press PWR, VOL- and Home to get into donwload mode.

I flash the tar.md5 firmware file using Odin 3.10.7. without errors.

I go back into recovery.

I wipe data (factory reset) again.

I clear the dalvik cache again.

I reboot normally and get errors. :(

This is getting really frustrating... :eek:

You mean using these "instructions":

I didn't use this the day before yesterday because the kitkat-based instructions were way more detailed. I wasn't even sure if this would work at all with the SM-T805, plus I'd have to look for Super-Sume first which I never used before. Now, I'd first have to have a usable tablet running any firmware whatsoever before I can even start about doing the root dance again. At the moment, the only thing I can do with my Tab S is clicking "Ok" at numerous, endlessly repeating software crashes, or rebooting it .

I will download a lollipop stock rom (let's see whether this will take 2 hours+ as well...) and reflash the device with Odin (for the ninth or tenth timein three days) with that. Here's hopin' that this will at least get me back to my original, working tablet...
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] blavov:
HELP!

Man, I must really be the most incompetent person on the planet. I cannot get my tablet rooted, and what's worse, I cannot get it back to a working stock firmware. What is so different about this d*mn tablet?!?!? Why does NOTHING work?!?!

After failed at rooting a 4.4.2 firmware, and at flashing a 4.4.2 firmware using Odin, I've now also failed flashing a 5.x firmware. I downloaded THREE dfferent versions and tried FOUR times now. FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL (see attachment).

Please, can anyone tell me what the h*ll I keep doing wrong? I've given up rooting this piece of crap (even though it pretty useless without as the internal memory is always full), I just want to use the thing again. I beg you, give me a pointer to something that works. Using the instructions I found so far, I can only FAIL and FAIL and FAIL. The tablet couldn't be any less useful now if I threw it off the Eiffel Tower. :(

Any help is appreciated. All I wanted was a usable tablet - that INSANE wish has now cost me 20+ hours and given me nothing but FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Thanks in advance from an embedded systems developer considering a career change to planting pineapples,

Pit.

I dis not read your entire text. Just looked at your screenshot. CP is for flashing modems. Bit it looks like you wanna flash a rom.

So you need to add it to AP instead of CP

Better stick to the pineapples. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] blavov:
Laugh all you want. At least it was an idiot mistake I TRIED to avoid . I actually googled after these stupid abbreviations (well, BL I guessed correctly, but as for the rest...) as all the Odin instructions I could find on Thursday used screenshots of completely different versions where the buttons have completely different layouts and texts. But as always with this tablet (as opposed to all other devices I ever flashed, and there are many more than just phones/tablets), I must have looked in the wrong place, because I couldn't find anything (now, after tkkg1994's hint, I have found an old->new picture). In the end I used a button that seemed to work, as I didn't get any errors (with 4.4.2.).

Thanks for pointing this out. As I expected, I was in idiot mistake, though that could not have been responsible for my failed try to root the phone, as the Odin flashing worked perfectly that first time.

If you had read CORRECTLY, you'd know that I haven't started with pineapples yet. But why should you do things you expect from everyone else ...
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Considering the fact that you put the firmware file in the wrong slot , it seems odin is smart enough to actually flash the images correctly regardless.

As you can see from the output that bootloader, boot, recovery, system, modem, cache images all flash successfully. It fails at the hidden.img which is a common occurrence when someone tries to flash firmware from a different region not intended for that device.

It seems your firmware has the wrong CSC.

When this happens all that is required is to boot to recovery and wipe the cache.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] blavov:
Yes, I saw that. That's why I thought I had done it correcty.

(I had to google CSC - this looks like a customization for a telephone provider.) My tablet should be unbranded, it was bought in an electronics shop.

Well, as I clearly wrote, I did both clearings available in recovery (data/factory reset and dalvik) every time. Before and after each flash. Didn't do anything.

Flashing via AP worked, though - I tried that yesterday evening. I seem to have selected a firmware which has no support for german-language display (I used T805XXU1BOCC_T805VFG1BOC4_T805XXU1BOC1 because that one downloaded the fastest), but I don't care that much atm.

Now, back to the original plan.

Should this work with my SM-T805:

I downloaded KingRoot 4.50 from here on xda-dev. I found Super-Sume 6.0 on APK4Fun.

Updating the superSu binaries is done via the super-sume apk once it's installed? Or do I need to dl something else?

My current plan is as follows:

Transfer KingRoot, Super-Sume and FlashFire apk plus the IronROM 2.4.1. zip (modified to include the Tab S apps) to the Download folder of the tablet.

Install and run KingRoot apk to get root access.

Install and run Super-Sume apk.

Update the SuperSu binaries from within Super-Sume.

Install and run FlashFire.

Use FlashFire to install IronROM 2.4.1 for T805.

Reboot into recovery and execute "Clear data (factory reset)" and "Clear dalvik cache".

Hopefully enjoy the rooted IronROMmed tablet.

Did I miss anything? Should I do anything else? Do I need more or different files?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] blavov:
Well, that didn' go very far. Both KingRoot 4.1 and KingRoot 4.5 are unable to root the device. Tried each one three times, always failed. :(

What am I doing wrong now?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Tkkg1994:
For those who don't want to flash the whole rom, here are the latest bootloaders from OG2 builds (T800 and T805). Use Odin3.10.6 to flash it. BL tab is the needed tab! Download Link

Does anyone know if the new kernel or any other supports CIFS and working cifs.ko module? I'm trying to figure out how to mount my networks shares that are running on my Home NAS, but can't seem to get anything to mount.

This fails in a terminal on the device currently with something like the below

mount -t cifs //192.168.xx.xx/mydata /mnt/obb/myData

And I have confirmed that I created the mnt/obb/MyData folder with 777 permisisons. I'm using RomToolBox Pro as well, and the Terminal included with that app.

I'm on 5.0.2 stock and am using the IronKernel. I haven't touched anything since the day I bought it (it updated to 5.0.2 on boot and then I Odin rooted and flashed TWRP).

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ptmuldoon:
Yes, ES File Explorer is the common 'solution' to connected your network shares to navigate them, etc. But it is not the same as actually mounting your network shares to local android folder. When there mounted as a local folder/drive, it appears 'native' to the file system and any file explore or other type of app can see that network share information.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Tkkg1994:
I think CIFS is not built in the kernel at the moment. Because stock did also not support it. I can add it in the next version

Reflash rom without wipes and choose stock theme

Nope. You don't have a lollipop bootloader at all. Please follow the instructions on the main page. Thank you!

That would be great if you could add it. I'm experimenting now with the SkyHigh Kernal that reportedly does have CIFS support in the kernel but haven't gotten it working yet either via a command line or with either the former CIFS and Mount Manager apps. Seem's like they mount, but shows blank folder/share data.

I hope to keep experimenting this weekend and may wipe and reflash it all fresh again.

Hi,

Is it possible to add RRO support to a non-AOSP ROM? It would be nice to be able to theme the device.

Otherwise, the ROM seems to run great, thanks! (I stayed on official KitKat forever before making the jump)

Just a naive/simple question, how do we know that this ROM installation (or any other ROM) is not harbouring trojans/viruses/keyloggers that will steal our passwords and our bank account details and spy on everything else that we are using the tablet for?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] uzi2:
Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean that they're not out to get you...
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Because we're not all green wet behind the ears idiots that install them so someone would have discovered them by now.

The kernel source code is freely available and you can pull the rom apart if you wish.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Zilliman:
I am sorry but I disagree. These ROMs and other applications that come with, just like cyanogenmod, are made by one individual, maybe two, they compile, build against the SDK from the manufacturer, they prepare everything. These individuals have bought the phone/tablet in question. And when they throw the phone away development and support usually stops. For example there is no cyanogenmod for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 because noone who knows has been bothered to build one.

Those one or two devs are not controlled by anyone they can do pretty much what they like. If they are good enough developers they will certainly know how to write/get a keylogger and embed it in the package we download and install.

The rest of the population who download these ROMs, how many 100? 200? 500 people? They do not sit down taking the package apart... They simply install it. It is not source code, they cannot and do not read it, they do not check it, they cannot check it.

This is all I am saying. :)

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
I didn't say everybody. I said not ALL of us are green enough to willy nilly install stuff without some sort of scrutiny.

Just because the rest of us don't spend hours weeks days building roms it doesn't mean we're stupid does it?

Are you implying we are all idiots?

I have pulled apart enough firmware, roms, kernel source code to know what I'm looking at as have many others on XDA.

I find your implication offensive to both developers and users alike Tbh.

This is another reason why devs give up as there is always someone complaining even after all the hard work that goes into bringing this stuff. Especially as it usually costs nothing. :confused:

Concerning IronKernel as I already wrote in the kernel thread:

since I updated to V2.4 I got an annoying TimaService wakelock and in the kernel changelog I read something concerning Tima debug log.. so maybe it is enabled.. what could I do to kill that nasty wakelock that holds my device awake for nearly 100%? :confused:

I also want to ask what 'Sched Autogroup' (disabled on my side) and 'UKSM' (enabled) is for? It is under the tab 'MISC'

Hey,

I want to update to latest Version but there is only "full wipe", "clean install" and "dirty flash" but no "update system only" so I can't update actually.

I can't accept to flash/wipe Data, I can only accept flashing system and after that wiping cache/dalvik cache.

Why? Because I don't have the time nor I'm interested in redownlowding the hole bulls.h.i.t of all my apps - samsungs original OS has the ability to flash

it's os without deleting the Data section ... it flashes only both caches and system but no data or other things.

So if I want to flash your OS it should detect the old version and provide an update optin only with wiping both cache after successfull install.

Dirty Flash

Be careful with dirty flash..... Came from 2.4.1 and produced a very expensive brick. At reboot after flash, incl. clear cache and dalvik, my tab (SM-T805) showed SAMSUNG, turned screen off, and that it was. Now it does NOT turn on again. If I get lucky I might just have to wait until battery runs out of juice to boot into recovery and restore :crying: ... but I doubt it.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Zilliman:
Press vol down + menu + power button - at 8 seconds it will reboot, if you continue holding at 10 seconds it will go into download

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Zilliman:
Is there anything on the screen? If no, and it does not reboot, then plug it into the wall charger. Wait at least 15-30 minutes. Then try to boot it again. If the battery is very depleted or if it thinks it is, I think, it may show nothing on the screen. Once there is some juice it will show the battery levels if you tap the power (or menu?) key briefly.

I tried repeating this process two three times but and even selected AP option once but still tab works as normal but boot loader does not change and remains same BOD2 and by installing the latest kernal 2.5 even tried 2.4 and 2.3 the tab is stuck on boot loop have to install back stock boot image to make it work properly I am running stock firmware rooted.

And

My tab also does not connect to 4g lte avaliable(1800 MHz FDD-LTE Bands 3) in my area I checked its specks on website it shows 1800mhz band 3 band but my tab wont connect to lte it will connect to 3g and shows H+ where as full 4g lte signals are avaliable and my xperia z1 connets to the same LTE with full bars in same location . I even tried using an app advance signal status and used mode lte only in network search it shows the name of lte network but wont connect says registration failed . I put the same sim in z1 it connects automatically to lte.

I bought my tab s from United Arab Emirates its not locked to any carrier and shows the same name United Arab Emirates in about device .
