Hello, I have a SM-T550, I have read all the thread (all pages), I just want to make sure before I start flashing because I flashed yesterday the cf autoroot and the Tablet stayed on the SAMSUNG flashing screen so I had to flash back the stock MM.

I have seen a post where says how to flash the twrp and then the cf autoroot but only says its for the SM-T555, would that guide work for my SM-T550? If not, please tell me the exact steps to get the root working with the recovery too, please.

On SM-T555 its inverted due to a firmware bug in stock MM...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
It's not really a bug it's intentional by Samsung, why I don't know!

The MM bootloader causes the screen touch to be inverted 180 degree, the MM kernel corrects this, so both are required to have correct touch placement.

Add to this, which as far as I can remember, the P versions of the tab A have the touch swapped as well as inverted.

For TWRP you need the correct version. If you have MM then ONLY the MM version will work correctly.

All this will soon be fixed when I update all models with proper MM builds of TWRP.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Gysss:
Hello guys,

I have just recently bought a Tab a sm-t550

live demo unit

. I flashed a stock rom with Odin, but it still has a lot of restrictions. (can't use internet, no writing permission).

What would be the right way to go about this, I'm pretty new to rooting etc.

Should I:

1. Unlock bootloader ( is this necessary? )

2. Use Odin to flash cf- autoroot.

3 Flash TWRP

4 Flash a rom

I have read a lot, but can't find a complete guide to this.

Well guys, i did manage to get the retail mode off and a have stock rom running. First I flashed cf autoroot, then I Used twrp to wipe everthing because stock recovery had it greyed out because it is a live demo unit. I then just used odin to flash a stock rom from sammobile.

Do you guys think the cf autoroot was necessary before installing twrp?

Any change someone will develop a nice android clean rom?

MM Root

When it finishes flashing and says done in odin (with auto reset unticked) I unplug it from the pc. Then the only way to get the tablet out of the download mode is pressing power+volume down+home button, I know its the combo to get in the download mode again but as soon as it comes out of the download mode I press the recovery combo and it just wont boot. It says on top of the screen in yellow letters: SET WARRANTY BIT: RECOVERY

After leaving it a minute or ao in that screen it turns off on its own and if I try to boot recovery it does the same, but will boot into the normal system.

Please help me, I would like to root the tablet. It cant be so difficult to root this samsung SM-T550 tablet.

There are two versions of TWRP 3.0.2-1. You need the Marshmellow-only version. By rebooting into recovery you 've left out one step.

Holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN, As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.

The procedure to reboot is described here: http://galaxy-tab-a.boards.net/thread/6/recovery-twrp-t350-355-p355

and there you can get the right recovery.

So, for those wanting any progress on the Tab A 10.1 2016, it's an exynos chip. The SM-T580 uses the Exynos 7870. Looks like we probably won't see any development for it, even with the bootloader unlock. Now, I'm gonna see if I can flash an unpacked image to it once I get the chance.

I installed that firmware from Sammobile and all worked fine. This was on a P555 from US - although I think it was a Malaysian market model. The install took as an update and left all settings and apps in place. Data still works in UK for 3G and 4G and S Pen still works. Root and TWRP cleared though, as expected.

Lollipop TWRP did install and run, but touch is all wrong and goes to wrong menus so unusable.

I'm only trying to add to the forum and help others with the limited knowledge I have. Clearly you know more than me. Perhaps those you learn from are as condescending to you, too? What a strange way to behave.

Hi ashyx

Thanks for uploading the MM P555 recovery. Very much appreciated. I think I may have found a small bug....

All installs and works and root installs no problem.

If I boot to recovery using home, up and power, all OK.

If I boot to recovery using twrp app (as in the app whist running Android OS), recovery boots but then any further reboot will only boot to recovery or download, no matter what reboot option is selected (inc up/down Power button reset). Android OS will not boot. Only way out is to reinstall twrp with Odin. Then all works OK again.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T350 Locked Features

I for one would like for the SM-T350 Samgsung Galaxy Tab A 8 to get it's own forum. There are two critical items that the vendor locked down that destroy this tablet's capabilities. First of all, there are not any advanced network settings. For example, I cannot delete old WiFi networks, nor configure other settings for these networks. I had to get a third party app to even see old WiFi networks that are not "located" where I am, and was not able to manually delete them, even after a WiFi/Bluetooth reset. Secondly, in Marshmellow, there is supposed to be an option to use external memory (SD Cards) as internal memory. This alleviates the problems associated with running out of memory, with say a 16GB model. Sadly, the vendor has removed this option, so a non-rooted device is unable to move items like Google Drive or DropBox to external memory, neither manually nor by adding "internal" memory via an SD card. It's quite obvious why both of these options are unavailable; the vendor wants users to pay for a new device instead of having these two basic options available. I have tried factory resetting as well as resetting cache memory just in case it was a glitch, but can confirm after countless hours on forums that these are Samsung created problems. I want to root my device and put a custom ROM on it to get around these two issues.
