The Nougat bootloader is likely compatible with Marshmallow. To downgrade you can just flash the AP part of the firmware.

Thankyou for the advice,

Was just wondering which one to download?

SM-T719 obviously (then region) doesn't matter of course unless worried about SIM card stuff.

But which variant of 6.0.1 do I need? Because I see there are 3 releases. I have had trouble with some of them. I have read inconclusive evidence that I need the very latest one of 6.0.1 in this case I have pasted the link to one from GB (Jan 2017).

Any thoughts again would be much appreciated.

temperature bugged twrp 3.1.0-1_ashyx (tab s2 sm-t713)

Stock ROM 7.0 nougat.

I dont know how to fix it, it shows me the temperature with 5 digits at the TWRP screen and with xposed cpu temp module does the same, something like 31920 ºC, but with AIDA64 or cpu-z the thermal is showed correctly, with just 2 digits, from 30ºC to... 70ºC when gaming.

But this is not related to xposed bug, because I have seen it bugged before to install xposed, maybe when I rooted it. The first time I installed TWRP it showed the correct temp, but now it shows big 5 digit numbers.

Any suggestion to fix it? maybe is some file missed or corrupted, or need to wipe something?

1 more thing, the data is formated and decrypted, otherwise is impossible to mount -system and get root the first time.

Thank you very much, regards.

Many thanks to the developer!!.

Stucking after done everything

Hello ashyx and everyone,

I have a problem since long time and I have tried many times to root my TAB S2 (2016) SM-T813 but I get always stuck at the boot screen of Samsung. Just like here:

https://i.imgur.com/vDGBfOm.jpg

My device information:

Android Version: 7.0

Kernel Version: 3.10.84-12212928

Build Number: NRD90M.T813XXU2BQI1

Knox Version: 2.7.1

I follow these steps;

1. Flashing twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t813_14417n (ofc USB debugging is and OEM were enabled)

2. Changing to TWRP and FORMATING DATA

3. Check if data mountable

4. flashing SU with twrp (from micro sd card)

5. flashing bypass for encryption (from micro sd card)

6. Rebooting

I have tried some other steps too but my device gets everytime stuck at this point

https://i.imgur.com/vDGBfOm.jpg

I have also tried it with different firmwares, I have tried it on;

T813XXU2BQI1 - Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T813 DBT Germany

T813XXS2BRC2 - Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T813 DBT Germany

T813XXS2BRB1 - Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T813 TUR Turkey

and I got on all 3 firmwares the same problem.

I have tried also TWRP 3.1.0-1 and TWRP 3.0.2-1

still same problem

I have bought this device in Germany and I were just once successful to root this device while it had the original firmware it came to me. I dont remember what steps I followed but it were not complicated and it never stuck before at this point. Im wondering what I am doing wrong.

I would be very happy if you guys can help me out.

What am I doing wrong? What should I do? (I would appreciate if you explain like Im 10 years old since Im not very experienced with rooting and stuff )

Thank you in advance,

Hugo
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:

Other TWRP ---> bootloop
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] HornyHugo:
Tried this also

I have also tried this.. also bootloop, stuck at samsung screen
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] iDennisX:
Hmmmm....

ROM is correct..(i think)

After bootloop reflash ROMs?

Need an active ROM.

Enable OEM unlock. (only need to be enabled once!)

Is it possible to root smt-713 with the latest nougat update NRD90M.T713XXU2BRB2?

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
I may need a bit of expert advice on my just bought S2 8.0 LTE running stock Touchwiz Nougat.

After successfully flashing twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t719_13417n with all the right steps and then trying to boot into recovery, I get stuck on the following boot screen displaying the "RECOVERY BOOTING.. Set Warranty Bit : recovery" message on the top left corner, and never actually getting into recovery past that. Its just there frozen for about 1 minute and then self reboots normally into Android. Ive repeated the flashing a few times but this is all I get.

Im using the T719 file on my T719C variant tab (Hong Kong), but that should be perfectly OK. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Ive flashed countless Samsung Devices and this is the first time I run into an issue like this.

Thanks in advance:)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Try the previous version.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] nk33:
Make sure when you flash you UNTICK auro reboot in odin - then reboot to recovery manually using the volume down, then volume up method
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Thank you, yes I tried the previous version and no luck. And certainly I followed the right steps and unticked the auro reboot in odin and manually tried to reboot to recovery with the proper key press sequence.

Finally I decided to flash CF-Autoroot to get the Tab rooted first and maybe then try install recovery via the the Android TWRP app. Things turned for the worse. After the CF-Autoroot flash the Tab now gets stuck in a boot-loop trying to get directly into recovery, 1 minute later power off and immediately back trying to get into recovery again. I cannot stop the process, turn the Tab off, go back into Download Mode or do anything with any key press combination.

Any expert suggestion as to what to do next? 10 years flashing Samsung phones and Tabs since the P1000.. first time I messed up like this.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] nk33:
holding power+volume down+middle button will always get you into download mode if you hold it long enough...

if it doesnt then just leave the tab on the table and do something else for the day until it runs out of battery - then do it
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
OK thank you, as per your suggestion after 1 minute pressing the power+volume down+middle button I am back into download mode. The poor Tab became so hot I can hardly touch the back with my bare hands.. amazing..

What step do you suggest I take next? I feel like a moron (sorry, a TOTAL moron) and out of tricks in my bag:) Thanks much again for your help, very much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] nk33:
if i was you mate - i would simply download the official ROM for your device from Sammobile and flash it with ODIN. The tablet works beautiful with that ROM and i have a 9.7 and i love it. No need for custom rom.

I have custom roms on my other devices - such as Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 - the stock rom runs slow and sluggish but Lineage runs so smooth.

on this tab it is not necessary
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Update: After re-flashing TWRP I can now re-enter Android normally.. I still cant get into recovery but at least no more bootloop and I can boot normally into Android. Ive tried every version of TWRP I could find for the T719 (3.0.2-1, 3.1.0-1, 3.1.1-0 and 3.2.1-0) and none of them gets the Tab to boot into recovery.

Its all fine and the stock ROM indeed works great. But if no recovery, I need to get this at least rooted somehow. I want debloat all the crap, get rid of ads, etc.

Any suggestion to supersede my total helplessness with this Tab, super appreciated as always:)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] nk33:
have you seen my earlier commment about unitcking auto-reboot in odin?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Yes of course, auto-reboot in odin has always been unitcked on all my flash attempts and I manually reboot to recovery using the volume down, then volume up sequence method
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] nk33:
ok - only one more thing i can think of - this must be something to do with the stock rom on your tab.

Please install the BTU rom from sammobile - once you have booted into it, then try and install TWRP - should work.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
You mean flashing a BTU for a T719 instead of the stock TGY I have on my T719C?

I will give it a shot, thanks much:)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] nk33:
excatly - let me know if it worked man - i know if you're not a paid member the firmware will take a couple of hours to download from SAMMOBILE
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
I will try it and report back. Not sure if there is some sort of hardware protection to stop a non-Chinese region ROM to get flashed on a (C) model but its definitely worth the try. In fact (as far as I know) the hardware (modem and radio included) is the same among all T719 series models and variants, aside from the ROM and included Android apps themselves. That is why I would assume a recovery and/or root for a T719 would flawlessly get flashed on a T719C as well. At is doesn't seem to be the case, lets see what the BTU ROM can bring to the equation, if I can get it flashed. Thanks again for the suggestion:)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Have you unlocked with the CROMservice apk first?

Anyway try this: https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4061890&d=1488643141
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
First of all thanks a lot for the heads up on this!:)

So I searched and read about the CROM Service and followed the instructions step by step to unlock the bootloader. I got it done using CROM Service v1.0.7 and the app confirms that the unlocking procedure was successful. But that's where the good news ends.

I am still stuck at not being able to enter recovery after flashing TWRP. I re-flashed it a couple times again after that, used different older and newer versions of TWRP, different versions of ODIN (of course that doesn't make any difference) and the problem is exactly the same as before.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
FYI, after flashing TWRP and trying to get into recovery, this is all I get. It will stay frozen like this for about 1 minute and then just self-reboot into Android normally.. but it never enters recovery.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] nk33:
I just remembered - theres also the OEM unock in developer options....
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
UPDATE: Flashing recovery v3.0.3.0 from the link you gave me (https://xdaforums.com/att...0&d=1488643141) I actually get to boot briefly into TWRP, long enough to see the TWRP screen before it crashes and the tab reboots into Android again. At least there is a change in behavior..

I cant understand why this hardware is giving me so many problems for something so simple:(
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
Most likely a kernel issue.

I haven't got time at the moment to rebuild the kernel, but I'll try something else later if you can post the firmware build you're running. Even better if you have the boot.img.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Here is the info it shows me. Thanks a lot for your help:)

help

ps..I tried odin and installed twrp-3.2.1-0-gts28vewifi.img.tar

but when i did the home/vol up/power button i booted into a recovery screen different then the downloading screen i get with home/vol down/power..

now i get this:

installing system update and then the android robot falls down with "no command" message.

i cannot seem to get to the twrp screen :(
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
As I predicted, cannot install a BTU ROM on a TGY hardware. Back to square zero and about to give up.

One more thing, is there any way to get this rooted without TWRP? If no recovery, at least I need this Tab rooted. If that's not possible, I'm selling it straight out and not dealing with it any longer. Thanks for the help

:)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] pointbob:
Thanks Karl. Just a bit of help.please..can you link me up to bootpatcher.zip? I Googled it but only found an app called dualboot.. And what does bootpatch do exactly? Thx
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Did you ever manage to get your T719c rooted with a working TWRP? I've been fighting with this for more than 2 days on mine and seems to be a completely lost cause no matter what I try to do or workarounds I can think of. If I only knew about this on the T719c.. for sale by tomorrow morning. Is useless for me without root or recovery. Was worth a try..

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

Definitely didn't work for me. I boot into TWRP, see the recovery splashcreen for a couple seconds and everything crashes.. I'm on a stock 8.0 ROM and maybe the kernel makes incompatible.. no clue.. or maybe my T719c was born cursed haha:p
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
I would like to beg someone far more brilliant than myself to give me some sort of a brilliant insight as what I should (or can) about getting my T-719c to become a workable piece of hardware.

As I have been completely unsuccessful at making ANY flash of TWRP to work on my new stock Nougat T-719c (TWRP will never start-up, I assume being some sort of a wicked Kernel issue), Ive come up with the idea of downloading and flashing a stock 6.01 ROM to the Tab in hoped TWRP will work with that OS version/kernel. Indeed that's the case and I got TWRP 3.0.3.0 in seemingly working, though I cant use the Tab with 6.01 because on the first Android startup, the first thing it asks me halfway during boot up is my password (.. hummmmmmmmmmm a freshly wiped clean install and this thing is asking me for what kind of password exactly?.. no clue and wither way none works including trying to leave it blank.. and before the downgrade, I had never setup a password anyway). But, it doesn't matter.. with stock 6.01 I successfully flashed TWRP 3.0.3.0 and all seems to be working, which was actually the only thing I wanted. I have now wiped everything on the Tab so there is currently no OS nor any caches of any sort. That means the Tab doesnt boot pass the Samsung splashscreen and refuses to turn-off. So at the moment, the only thing I am doing is waiting for the Tab's battery to die off before I proceed with anything else. This is the first mobile hardware I have ever owned that it is physically and technically impossible to turn-off. Quite an achievement from Samsung:)

So my question to whoever is waaaay smarter than me is, from this point on, how do I get Android 7.0 again while keeping my TWRP in working state? Mind you, if I flash stock 7.0 via ODIN, there goes my TWRP again replaced with stock recovery and then trying to flash it will result in getting stuck again exactly where I was before. One last resort would be flashing Lineage 15.1 (if it works on the T-719c variant) and knowing best case scenario that I will loose the phone/Mic functionality as that is a bug with no solution. Finally, as I mentioned before I am still on TWRP 3.0.3.0 and I have no idea if I need to update it to do any flashing or what to update it to, 3.2.1.0, 3.1.1.0, 3.1.0-0LL/MM or Nougat or 3.0.2-1.. (these are so many different newer versions available plus I dont have any OS installed).

Thanks again and sorry for the long post :)

PS - On a side note, I got a new (second hand) Note 8 a few days ago (love it) that to get TWRP in, rooted, costumed ROMed and tweaked to death, was all child's play. I cant understand why the S2 T-719c is such a nightmare.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
To reboot hold POWER + HOME. To turn off do the same thing with USB cable attached to PC or install TWRP.

To boot up without the password FORMAT the DATA partition(NOT wipe) using the FORMAT DATA button under the wipe options
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Thank you ashyx:

- POWER + HOME to reboot: OK.

- POWER + HOME with USB cable attached to PC to turn-off: FAIL, doesn't not turn-off.. nothing happens.

- Install TWRP: 3.0.3.0 is already installed and the turn-off command will reboot, not turn off.

And to get 7.0 back on with TWRP still working, any advice? Thanks again :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ashyx:
TWRP would need to be updated to work.

Just followed the instructions in post #1 and got TWRP + SuperSU + noencryption patch on my new T719

Thanks very much to the developer who has made it possible. A small donation is in your way!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] whatever000:
I followed the instructions in the original post. However, I flashed the latest TWRP, and instead of SuperSU, I flashed Magisk. I also flashed the no-encrypt patch as well. Tablet works fine, no problems or anything like that.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] tweeny80:
Hey, my understanding of the no-encrypt patch is that it's NECESSARY once root zip is flashed.

That right?

Also, which magisk version u use?

Thanks for your post.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] whatever000:
You should always flash the no-encrypt patch after you flash SuperSU or Magisk.

Also, I am using the latest stable version of Magisk (16.0/5.7.0).
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] tweeny80:
And also need to format user data at some point, likely before flashing Verity patch?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] whatever000:
Yes, format the user data before you flash anything (in TWRP, Wipe > Format Data > type yes > click the checkmark button. Note that it may say failed to mount and such, but don't worry. The data will still be formatted.). The reason why is to remove the internal storage's encryption. Then you proceed to check if the data partition can be mounted by going back to the main menu and clicking Mount, and seeing if you can mark the checkbox on Data. If you can, then you are good to go and you can now flash Magisk/SuperSU and the no-encryption patch.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] tweeny80:
Thanks mate, i managed to get twrp and root sorted
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] whatever000:
No problem. BTW, did you use SuperSU or Magisk for rooting?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] tweeny80:
I used supersu.

I use magisk on my phone but actually don't use any modules so, may as well use su i reckon
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] darkuni:
At the risk of not reading all 101 pages before posting ...

This is pretty much the only way to root on Android 7.x correct? I attempted to do the CF-Auto Root and upon first boot I was told something about verifying integrity and my whole tablet was wiped.

This is the working solution? Along with the boot image patch?

Odin->TWRP

TWRP-> SuperSU

TWRP-> Boot Image Patch

Profit?

Thanks everyone. I just got this tablet and I need me some root REAL BAD :D

EDIT: Yep, this did the trick! I did not wipe my data partition during install - probably not the smartest idea, but ...

A little donation is on the way.

I got my SM-T713 back from Samsung and I cannot flash it with either the latest Odin or Heimdall. ADB and Odin detect the device just fine, but not in download mode even after swapping the driver while in download mode. I tried this on two different PCs with no luck. I'm using the original cable, I might try another cable though if that helps, but I'm running out of options here and really want to get LineageOS on here if possible.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] StarbuxMcCloud:
Ok, I solved the issue. I hard reset the device, deleted the cache in recovery mode. Then I tried two different USB ports on my computer after deleting the drivers. They were separate USB controllers on the PC but it still wouldn't connect despite disconnecting everything. I finally tried all 4 and finally the 4th one connected to Odin! Tricky part was going into TWRP from download mode. Had to do it twice but it finally booted into TWRP.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Techguy777:
I'm asking because I can't find answer for something. I just got a Samsung Galaxy s2 t813 off eBay and I have had tons of problems. When I first tried rooting I was on Android nougat and flashed twrp then flash no encryption zip, then SuperSU I got a lot of errors in twrp but it did root my tablet and it worked. I tried flashing custom rom and it shut down I turn it back ok and it's shuts down then 3 times it works and rom boots up and works perfectly. I reflashed the latest frimware on Odin nougat. The tablet kept rebooting after flashing firmware. Booted into stock recovery did factory reset and it booted up just fine. Same thing again flashing roms it shuts off then eventually the rom will boot up and work perfectly. I looked hard for trouble shooting on here for s2 and didn't find anything so maybe some could offer some type of help. I'm curious if flashing roms is safe with that being said. Also have had twrp bootloops not sure what causes those I know its a common problem.
