[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] thuddome:
I need some help. I've been out of the game a while. Decided yesterday to root my SM-T710. It was completely stock up to this point. Had OTA upgrades to 7.0. I ODIN'd it with the autoroot tried rebooting, just clocked with the Samsung logo turning dark to bright. Then I tried the 5.11 autoroot, still same thing. I did get TWRP to install. It does say the warranty is tripped so it looks like the autoroot worked but I'm guessing I'm having a kernal conflict. I tried taking the stock 5.11 and ODIN back to kind of start over, that fails, can't copy the boot.img. I think I have everything I need just have done it in the wrong order. Any advice, tips would be appreciated.

The reason I wanted to root this is because I kept running into problems with reading/writing to the SD card, same issue as years ago that Google hasn't fixed. I know from experience with root you don't have this issue. This tablet is around 4-5 years old, if all else fails I could get a new one but I'm sure from experience someone could walk me through the order/tricks to get it booting again.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Just install the latest Supersu with TWRP. Everything you need is in my TWRP thread.

If you have a Tab S2 it can't be more than 3 years old.

With a stock ROM

Download twrp, magisk18.1 magisk manager

Download and flash from [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] the twrp In Odin. Do not let reboot !

Immediately boot to twrp and allow twrp write access

Flash magisk zip, boot to your tablet, install magisk manager apk.

Search twrp for 815 its been up for a while

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

First off, if you can see download mode or recovery your not bricked yet.

You can flash the OEM ROM on the 710 no problem but you will loose your data. However

Need to install twrp via Odin, do not allow a reboot.

Force reboot then as screen goes black force recovery otherwise twrp will not take.

Once in twrp, perform a backup and then install magisk

Boot the device and install magisk manager.

Hey guys, I just attempted to root my galaxy tab s2 sm-t813 and i ran into some problems. I looked around to find a file for my model and used odin to flash "CF-Auto-Root-gts210vewifi-gts210vewifixx-smt813.tar" on my device. At first it wouldnt let me due to FRP so after looking around how to fix that I found that removing the google account linked would disable it.. the 1 thing I did not know is that adding a google account after it was flashed would re-enable it. So yeah.. i flashed it, it was successful but after downloading root checker it told me I didn't have root access, so i decided to go research it some more.. but sadly i was met with a "Custom binary blocked by FRP. Secure fail: Kernel" when I tried reboot the device. I still had access to both that download thing and the stock recovery.. but factory reset/data wipe didn't help so i went looking for a stock kernel thinking I could make everything stock again so it would allow me to boot the device. I found a thread on here that had links to stock kernel and rom, I downloaded the kernel and using Odin flashed it "T813XXU1APF4_Stock_Kernel". However it did not fix my issue, it only made the device boot loop. So, then i tried to flash the entire rom "T813XXU1APF4_T813XAR1APF1_HOME.tar.md5" but was met with an error message "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1". So yeah, that's where I'm at right now, the device boot loops, I have access to both stock recovery and the download screen but FRP is on and the binary is still "Custom". Any advice on how to get this thing back up and running would be appreciated.

EDIT: Downloaded another rom, "T813XXU2BRB2_T813OXX2BRB1_HOME.tar.md5" and this one worked perfectly, I have the device back up and running :) The binary is now "Samsung official" and the warranty is still at 0x1 (4) so i assume that's voided, but at least it works :P

Samsung tab s2 sm-t817v no cf auto root or twrp is not found anywhere.

I just bought this used tab today. For ebook reading. But I never like shackles of being under certain os.

I love custom os and my own settings. But I haven't found any cf auto root or twrp recovery for this device. Also tried some where one did flash but inside is stock recovery image. Another two just fails to flash through odin.

thought may be Verizon is tough enough for the open-source community. I am in extreme pain with this. Any help will be massively appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] alpward:
Just a real quick one. I currently has an S2 8.0 completely stock on Android 7.

I want to install Lineage OS.

Are the steps I should be following?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Check as well if OEM unlock is a feature in dev options.

Can't check on my T810 as it's already on AOPK extended (Pie).

Which do you own exactly (T***)?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] tripLr:
Set to developer mode

Settings device build number click 8 times or so

Developer mode .. Check if unlock bootloader is available

Whatever device that is an s2 8.0 find the appropriate twrp in twrp.me

Like 710 713 etc 715..

Flash with Odin, and before device boots go directly to recovery mode ( up+ home+ power )

If you see twrp success otherwise flash again. ( uncheck autoreboot. It helps )

Then flash magisk ( www.github.com/topjohnwu/magisk )

Then download and flash lineage, and pico gapps ( 32 bit android 10 )

Gapps.org.

Best to ya.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] xT29c:
I'm on the 810. After enabling developer options, I do not see an option to enable OEM unlock.

Can I proceed with root/twrp/custom Roms then?

All I'm really interested in is gaining root. I'm on stock firmware. Nougat 7.0. I enabled ADB settings but cannot find an option to OEM unlock the device.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
The unlock option is sometimes shown one or two days later.

To bypass that it might work to change (wifi off) manually the date, restart it and turn on wifi again.

For me that worked.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] xT29c:
Thanks for your quick reply! I went ahead and tried flashing TWRP and it worked! Even with no OEM Unlock option shown.

I'll look for it after a couple of days, but I was able to root the device!

sorry for my question, but was not 100% sure if you have test it on a T715, some dev post there scripts / tools and they have dev it on a other device and they think it works also on other devices.

You have a T810 and a T710 and also a T715? -->cool

And it makes no differents if i have a German Model or a US Model, because i see there are different Firmwares on the devices. all 5.0.2?

I cannot seem to flash back to 5.0.2....

I tried to flash 5.0.2 back, but it just bootloops after the Samsung logo. Over and over.

I'll see if I can flash the oldest 5.0.2 now. Maybe work my way up to the latest and then 5.1.1. Seems like once you are on 5.1.1 - you cannot go back to 5.0.2 ?

Known issue maybe?

Edit: I wiped the cache and Data from stock recovery and seems to be getting back in....that must be the problem....cache ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
More likely to be the data partition that needs the wipe.

So is it booting now? No need to flash incremental, just flash the latest firmware with flashfire.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bert269:

Nope. Flashed 5.0.2, Autoroot_t710 and installed 5.1.1 with FlashFire - bootloop again. (Strangely - no sound during SAMSUNG logo startup)

Wipe data - bootloop (no sound during SAMSUNG logo startup)

Wipe data & cache - bootloop (no sound during SAMSUNG logo startup)

.....Stuck

Reflashed 5.1.1 and will wait till we get a solution for this

Thanks

I hope the BoH6 recovery file I send you will help in getting SU installed again - thanks for you help
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
How are you rooting when flashing with flashfire?

The procedure is, flash 5.0.2 with odin, Root with cf_autoroot.

Flash 5.1.1 with flashfire ensuring EverRoot is checked.

Check boot to Download mode.

Let Flashfire do its thing then when it completes and boots to download mode, finish off by flashing the 5.1.1 bootloader with Odin.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bert269:
Ok. I did everything as you stated up to the "boot to bootloader" part.

First off, how do I get the bootloader? Do I just delete all the other files/partitions and leave the boot.img file in the .tar file? (I do this easily with Total Commander)

Then, do I specify that resulting .tar file in the BL section of Odin?

Update: I did exactly like you said: Flashed 5.0.2 with Odin, logon and setup device. Then installed cf_autoroot_t710 and confirmed that it works.

Then I install 5.1.1 with Flashfire and set the reboot to bootloader and ensure that everroot was checked. Let it finish the install of 5.1.1 and in Odin I installed the extracted boot.img file in the BootLoader section.

The device goes into the same Samsung-logo bootloop like before, over and over - also- no boot sound.

Ideas?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
ashyx, If I am correct.. you probably need to make a custom kernel with autoroot in order to get root in TW 5.1.1 if I recall. With that, that is why root bootloops in 5.1.1. The Tab 4 had a similar issue on TW 5.1.1 so someone had to make a rootable kernel for root to work on TW 5.1.1
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Boot.img is the kernel not bootloader the bootloader is sboot.bin.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Not if you already have root. Flashfire does the rest.

I know 5.1 security policies are oppressive and if this is the issue then a custom kernel is going to be needed to boot also.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bert269:
OK - so I messed up - let me go back after work tonight and try the sboot.bin file - I was not sure.

To confirm - I should load that into the BL section of ODIN, correct (or just the regular AP where one do the whole rom)?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Doesn't matter which, it will flash either way.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bert269:
no Difference...

Same thing - goes into bootloop with Samsung logo and no boot-sound during that process.

I did exactly as you said - tried it twice,

more ideas?

Any more files form the 5.1.1 rom you need to help us get to root?

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Ok, firstly we need to establish what is causing the boot loop.

Whether it's root or something with flashfire.

What I suggest you do is get your tablet up and running again then flash the update with flashfire, however this time un select EverRoot, so this just ends up being a basic flash just like you would do with odin.

See if it boots then.

Remember to flash the bootloader afterwards.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] hurray:
Thank you very much for the CF-autoroot-port!!

I am able to root my new Tab S2 Wifi (SM-T810) under Odin3 v3.10.7.

Till now I am on the delivered Android 5.0.2 (T810XXU1AOG9). The Software-Update do not find any new Android 5.1.1 for me.

Is there a link where I can download the Android 5.1.1 for the T810? Then I am able to test if the rooting also works under 5.1.1.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bert269:
OK I flashed 5.0.2 and cf_autoroot, then flash with Flashfire v5.1.1 (without EverRoot), booted to Download and reflashed the 5.1.1 Bootloader.

It booted up, Sammy boot-sound and all. Confirmed that I am on 5.1.1 - so we know that the FlashFire flashing works fine...(accept we had to reflash the 5.1.1 bootlaoder)

Since I did not had to wipe anything, all my apps and data are there (no root though!...shoot)

Where does this leaves us? EverRoot is not compatible with 5.1.1?

Will it help if I instead flash 5.0.2 bootloader again (or will this brick)?

Thanks for your time and help with this.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
This is what i would do.

Downgrade to 5.0.2 and root.

I would only flash the system and boot partitions with Flashfire when updating to 5.1.1.

If it doesn't boot, then boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

See if it boots without the 5.1.1 bootloader.

If not update the bootloader.

Heres a link to flashfire v0.21, set the date back to August.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bert269:
OK - Rooted 5.0.2 then flashed only system and Boot partitions with FlashFire, rebooted and it was not rooted.(SU gets installed into /data and /system paritions

Flashed cf_autoboot and that goes through the installation of su into /data and /system - but it goes back into the samsung bootloop......

Even after I clear data and cache again - it keeps on bootlooping.

I even went as far as reflashing the 5.0.2 bootloader again, and did another wipe of data and system - but it keeps on rebooting.

So - I got /system and /boot from 5.1.1 installed over the system that was cf_autoroot before, (but then I have no root anymore) - the moment I flash cf_autoroot -= it goes into a bootloop

It looks like something in 5.1.1 is preventing su from being installed...totally.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Bit confused here, are you saying after flashing system and boot with FLASHFIRE and EverRoot enabled you don't have Root, but it boots OK?

However if you try cf_autoroot it roots, but causes a boot loop?

But you are still able to boot into stock recovery?

The thing is if cf_autoroot completes it will flash the stock recovery from 5.0.2.

The bootloader may not like this and refuse to boot.

You may have to flash the stock recovery from the 5.1.1 firmware.

Either that or the enforced file security in 5.1.1 is preventing a modified system from booting.

This could be a massive headache, I don't even think there are any official versions of cf_autoroot for 5.1.1 available.

Hello how can I root T 815 running on Android 5.02?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
You can use the t810 root or wait until I get around to uploading a t815 version.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] jaidev.s:
I'll wait then :) Thank You
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Deacon-Frost:
Thanks for that root
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bert269:
No, I did not say that. Entry #40, you wanted me to "....un select EverRoot"- and I have not tried that again, not with the full rom and not with only system & boot. It boot-looped with the full rom, constantly.

No, I looses root, since 5.0.2 system contains root and we flash 5.1.1 system with no root, over 5.0.2 system that contains root.

Not with 5.1.1 recovery, can only get into download mode. 5.0.2 recovery yes-but we already lost root there.

Anyway we can flash a SU package from a zip file from stock recovery( after 5.1.1 system and boot has been installed?)

Hmmm, your last entries asked me not to flash recovery from 5.1.1, only system & boot. I am not clear now what you want me to flash, and what not...confused myself....

If you can give me the sequence of things I need to flash, I will be more than happy to and redpond back with no problem.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
CF Auto-root reflashes stock recovery when it is done rooting. However that will flash stock recovery from 5.0.2.

If the bootloader doesn't like this recovery it may cause a boot loop.

So you need to tar up the 5.1.1 recovery and flash it with it odin after rooting is done.

After that boot into stock recovery and factory reset.

If it still doesn't boot then it's highly likely some sort of security policy enforcement is causing the issue and a custom kernel may be needed.

Does the supersu script in cf_autoroot even run?

If it does I can build it with the 5.1.1 recovery and you can give that a go.

In fact there is an easy way to establish whether it is the recovery that is causing the issue or not.

Install 5.1.1 as normal let it boot then take the recovery.img from 5.0.2 and tar it up. Flash it with odin.

If it doesn't boot then there is part of the problem.
