[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eudemony:
Hi Ashyx,

Just got the missus one of these Tab A's (T350) .. Registered for the forum .. waiting approval.

Why are you using a free board to publish your work but someone else is admin? .. seems a bit strange! .. but each to their own :confused:

Anyone try the new CF Auto Root? http://www.xda-developers.com/cf-auto-root-updated-with-support-for-over-300-devices/

I'm just looking for TWRP mainly. Could try and build it myself lol but why make my hair go grey ;)

Appreciate the effort :good:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It got posted there because xda didn't see fit to provide a forum for the Tab A, so nowhere to post. Another member created the proboards forum. However I don't agree with member only login.

You can find twrp and root below:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgreaper:
anyway to request xda create a tab section? that other site seems a bit useless (im actually still waiting for staff approval) just spent an hour trying to figure out why my tab a has decided to be the only device i own to refuse to connect to my home network even though it worked fine a few hours ago, that coupled with the still random reboots ....well lets just say a dedicated section on xda would give me a better idea of how to fix as im sure im not alone in the issues.

I have actually just wiped the cache and im waiting for it to finish rebooting to see if that fixes it
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
People would need to contact Admin. The more that request the more chance of getting a forum.

It was the same with the Tab S2.

news about cwm for sm-t550

Hey, Thanks for the great work and the very nice TWRP recovery for the t550... However, i need to use incremental backup and was wondering if there is any chance to make CWM work on this galaxy tab A t550 ? The version I have found suffers from mounting issues!

Any info on that?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Why would you need incremental backup in recovery?

You would use something like Titanium backup for that.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lulucious:
Well, he have hundreds of tablets and have developed (for galaxy tab 4) a script to clone devices over wifi. Indeed, we need to clear and update full configs (app data, backgrounds, wifi networks, brightness levels...) every day 2 days or so (we organize events with tablets). Differential backups allow us to push less than 50 Mo of data each time. Otherwise, wireless network does not handle it fast and properly... The process is done so many times that the logistic effort becomes unbearable if we have to push 1gb instead of 50mb...

Titanium backup requires manual work and an expertise that our logistic team does not have (in addition, we must clear previous data, set icons at the right position....).

Currently, we create the backup, it is automatically saved on the network... then the logistic team just has to apply the incremental backup (we developed an app to to that in seconds with tasker). This clears all sdcard data, upload new specific files to the sdcard, and restores the diff for data and system partitions... Well it is perfect, if only we could upgrade our devices and use CWM!!!!!!!

Thanks for your precious help :)

Hi, I am a complete novice at this and am trying to recover my young daughter's Galaxy Tab A SM-t550. I think she must have downloaded something, and we can't boot up past the screen with Odin on the top in text. Following lots of research I have followed all instructions (power/home/volume) and have got to the download screen on the Tab, have downloaded what I think to be the correct firmware to my pc (tried 3 versions) and have downloaded Odin to my PC. This is what I get and I am at a loss to know what the next step is. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Susan

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Was it actually in download mode when you tried to use odin?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staylor12:
Yep.

From the original black screen with Odin Mode at the top in text, I did Power/Home/Volume down. It brought up a screen that said "Warning, A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key. Otherwise press the volume down key to cancel."

Then on pressing volume up I was taken to a screen that said "Downloading...do not turn off target". It was while on this screen that I connected/used Odin. The device did connect and the little panel at the top turned blue. I also tried a couple of different versions of Odin. 3.07 and 3.11.

No idea if it is of any help, but the text at the top of screen says:

Odin Mode

Product Name: SM-T550

Current Binary : Samsung Official

System Status: Official

Knox Warranty Void: 0x0

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)

AP SWREV: S1, T1, H1, R1, A1, P1

Secure Download: Enable
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
There should be no reason why it won't flash unless the firmware is wrong.

Which region did you buy this device?

Did you ensure to put the md5 in the AP slot?

Also according to the info above you still have the official software installed unmodified.

You may be able to fix this by booting to recovery mode. POWER + HOME + VOL UP, then select wipe data/reset.

This will wipe ALL personal data stored on the device internal storage.

When booting at which screen does it hang, the first 'Powered by Android' or second?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staylor12:
In Odin 3.07 I put it in the PDA slot. In Odin 3.11 I put it in the AP slot. I am in Australia. The three firmwares I tried are:

T550XXU1BPE1_T550XSA1BPE2_HOME.tar.md5

T550XXU1AOCF_T550XSA1AOD1_HOME.tar.md5

T550XXU1AOJ1_T550XSA1AOI1_HOME.tar.md5

One of the above failed very quickly (can't remember which one), whereas the other two thought about it for quite a few minutes before failing.

I had Auto Reboot and F Reset Time ticked. I am using Windows 10.

If in theory these should work but they aren't, would you think there is anything else that I could try?

I am very grateful for your time. : )

Sorry, I didn't see all of your response. When I do Power/Home/Volume up it comes to a black screen with the above Odin Mode text I mentioned in the top left corner. In the main part of the screen it just says Samsung Galaxy Tab A, powered by Android. I don't appear to have a choice to do anything else. This is the same screen that appears when pressing the power button. Actually I don't seem to be able to turn the device off. Holding down the power button just brings it to the same screen.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It seems it's not booting to recovery mode. You need to boot to recovery from power off or you can do it from download mode.

Whilst in download mode hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.

Timing is the key here.

This should boot you to recovery mode after a short while.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staylor12:
Thanks, but no luck. Still goes straight back to Powered by Android screen. Tried from both that screen and download screen. I can't actually power off as such as it always just sits on the Powered by Android screen. Am I close to calling this one a brick? Hope not.

BTW, just FYI today I also asked the TabA Pro-board the same question earlier today.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You can try the upgrade and initialization option in Kies3 or Smartswitch.

You will need the s/n off the box or device for it to work.

Put it in download mode, attach the cable, select upgrade and initialization, type in model number SM-T550 then s/n.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staylor12:
Hi, sorry for the delay. I tried Kies3, but it said "connected device is not recognised by Kies3". I also tried Kies and in both versions ran the software update and initialisation with model no and S/N while in download mode. Unfortunately in both versions after quite a long time downloading I received the update the error "The PC failed to recognise the mobile phone...".

Time to give up?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Dont worry about that error it says that quite often, it will still download the firmware which you can flash with odin.

Which windows os are you running?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staylor12:
It's Windows 10...

I just tried Odin again and with firmware T550XXU1BPE1_T550XSA1BPE2_HOME.tar.md5 I received this error message. Following this I also tried the other firmwares that I have and got the same error as previously advised.
