[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I could not get it to work on my T800 and i followed all directions and tried multiple times, My S1 was stuck on the Samsung boot screen, I had to odin lollipop to get it working again.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
Two possibilities one you may not have been using a later bootloader from Lollipop stock when you started the processes. Second on my T800 the reboot in step 5 was essential. I also highly recommend this aosp MM and Rom and have been running it for months. Check the thread for the bootloader image version you would need.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I was on stock UK KitKat, I had not flashed my T800 before.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
Check the "Prerequisites" from the AOSP MM ROMs original post it specifically mentioned the bootloader that must be used plus gives an ODIN flashable version. I've also found a person who mentioned that they were on KitKat but flashed the lollipop bootloader (Prerequisites) then successfully flashed straight to the AOSP MM ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67875606&postcount=3887

I was already on the latest Lollipop ROM so had the required bootloader. The ROM flash was straight forward. I absolutely love the OTA process but had to create the directory manually which needs to contain all the post-OTA flash files (SuperSU, Gapps, ... etc).
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
So looks like the fail was because i did not read that i needed lollipop to be installed first :eek: at least i know what the problem was now.

Thanks

This will trigger Knox, right? But the official one should keep it intact.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

I was saying that because the guy who asked you were looking for a MM. I am not sure about power consumption as I kind of needing to charge it all the time.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Sorry to ask you again. I noticed you mentioned flashfire in previous thread. Did you try to use flashfire? And like other speculated, the Knox is tripped, right?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
First, Flashfire does not specifically trip Knox but requires a rooted device. While under warranty I rooted KitKat then upgraded to Lollipop Samsung stock. That did not trip Knox but provided root for my root dependant requirements (e.g. Viper4Android, SuperSu with policies). If you changed the recovery image to TWRP that would certainly trip the Knox counter.

There is a thread that tells you how to root the TabS Samsung stock (either KitKat or Lollipop) while not tripping Knox. Basically it uses an OS specific version vulnerability to get root. In later versions those exploits were closed.

The day my warranty elapsed I flashed TWRP, created a back up image and then flashed the AOSP MM ROM and have never looked back. As I now have TWRP I have not used FashFire since but bought the pro version just out of respect of the developer and the features it provided while my TabS was under warranty.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jm1981:
Here is the link to the guide I followed :

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/guide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484

I'll check the bootloader I have at present, but I thnk I have an equivalent bootloader as the one mentionned in the guide :

T800XXU1BOCC_BOOTLOADER.tar

What is the last bootloader for SM T700 ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] warriorking:
Still Patiently waiting for the OTA update for my T800 Here in the States...
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
I installed it yesterday. It seems geared more for phones. The pull down menu is very small for a 10" tablet. I'm going to play around with it a bit checking into the features but I'll probably end up uninstalling it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GoldExperience:
It's very buggy and don't work well with our tab. Also the settings menu only display in portrait mode, it's a pain.

I uninstalled and for some reason the lock screen animation stopped working, I tried to put it back but the option is now grey in the configuration menu.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Buckster76:
settings only in portrait mode ? not on mine it isn't

Marshmallow and Root on Tab S SM-T800

I live in Akron Ohio and have the Samsung Tab S 10.5 Wifi tablet.I installed marshmallow using the Australian update and than installed TWRP using Odin.I than flashed SuperSu.The tablet is running fine and I have already noticed improved battery life.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bjones7134:
My SM-T700 here in USA downloaded 6.0.1 H5 last night.

Marshmallow and Root on Tab S SM-T800 10.5 Wifi tablet

I live in Akron Ohio and have the Samsung Tab S 10.5 Wifi tablet.I installed marshmallow using the Australian update and than installed TWRP using Odin.I than flashed SuperSu.Tablet is running smoothly and no observable anomalies thus far.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
I agree. I just uninstalled it. It's not ready for prime time. :) Not sure how you uninstalled it, but to uninstall it properly it has to be done within the app itself.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fred_be9300:
All XXU1 ROM have the same worldwide set of languages. As I remember, the Canadian and US ones were also XXU1.

You must have seen the short list of languages in the Korean ROM, which is not XXU1

I've not installed the Swiss M, but I've run the Swiss L (somewhat coincidentally) for a year.

Edit: in fact, all XXU1 ROMs (where the version tag is same, e.g. T700XXU1CPH5) are identical at OS level, and only differ by region, in terms of promotional content, bonus apps, extra wallpapers, etc.
[Galaxy Tab S General] HornetRider:
Unfortunately I can't use Good Lock.

After installation my tab rebootet and started with Good Lock but after a few minutes it reboots again and TouchWiz is back and Good Lock isn't installed anymore.

And before the second reboot it's not possible to unlock my device.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
That don't sound good, I hope you can unlock it, mine did not have a lock enabled on my 10.5" and the app seemed to work.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] HornetRider:
Maybe this is the reason.

I'll try it again without any lock, in the next days.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Sprelle:
I may be somewhat slow, but I took your advice and reinstalled the canadian one, whick is a XXU1 rom,

and a very limited number of languages were presented at install. :)

Certainly not any scandinavian language, but only english, french and asian languages.

Anyone? :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] anees02:
I am still waiting for MM in my T800.

I purchased it from Hong Kong.

Until now, no update yet.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DBCAB:
Check Under General-Languages and Input in Settings ? Not There ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Sprelle:
I have looked, but find only the short list :crying:

Could somebody with the Swiss, US or Canadian ROM please prove me wrong :eek:
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
I see Sammobile now has the India version of T800 available for those who may be interested.
[Galaxy Tab S General] lianaboy:
Hello, running the Swiss ROM since yesterday on T-700 and I can confirm that it contains extensive list of languages including Norwegian, Finish and Swedish among others...
[Galaxy Tab S General] Sprelle:
Thanks lianaboy, installing the swiss ROM now :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
Yep, I'll be installing the Swiss ROM eventually, too! I'm learning Norwegian so this will help out.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fred_be9300:
well i be damn. That's a new one. So it seems they can change the language list as well in the CSC variation. I've never heard of them doing so, maybe because I've focussed mostly on European region XXU1 variant.

In the meantime I've also installed the Swiss rom (it's still doing "optimizing app xx of zz") to give you the answer you needed, but you beat me to it, and in the end you have your happy ending ;)
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
Has anyone experienced the screen flashes, random reboots, and false locking with less than 50% battery that was present in Lollipop and, for some, KitKat in this new Marshmallow update?
[Galaxy Tab S General] hungpakto:
It's the hardware problem, you can reconnect the battery and fix the problem, I've got the same problem before.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
I don't believe it's a hardware problem. Not everyone has this issue and some had the issue ONLY while running Lollipop. I never had an issue under KitKat, but on Lollipop the tablet became unstable below 50%. That would indicate something other than just a connection issue; at least not the entire issue. As I just finished testing it, I can say the problem doesn't exist on Marshmallow. For me at least.
[Galaxy Tab S General] hungpakto:
You can google it, it's a widespread issues about the battery problem since kitkat
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
I hope that my US version T-800 tablet is among the last Tab S devices to receive the Marshmallow upgrade, preferably some time in October. This way I could start bragging that Samsung can take up to a year to push an Android upgrade to its less than two year old "flagship" devices. This wish may actually become true now that Samsung is probably much busier with the Galaxy Note 7 "explodegate" recall.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fred_be9300:
I think that involves different departments and people :)

I've installed Swiss Android M on my T700, and while I wasn't unhappy before, and while I've not yet noticed significant changes (my usage is fairly basic, using no peripherals, like chromecast, Bluetooth), I'm happy to be more "with the times" in terms of Android OS (general UX) and security patches. I feel "safe" again using this tab. It (almost) makes me willing to consider Samsung again, when in the future I'll be in the market for a new tablet.

Yes, the update came late, and it bites that M is 1 year old and N is out, and they should do something about their time to deliver. And it seems they easily could, if they just didn't flood the market with too many devices...

But (and this is a genuine question) which other tablet, flagship or other, released around that time, has gotten Marshmallow earlier (not including Nexus). It's seems to be in a sad state the Android tablet marketplace, in terms of OS upgrades. Who's doing better?

Cheers, sorry to ramble :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
I think the Nvidia Shield Tablet (released in late 2014) already got MM before Tab S. Yes, Nvidia has been making the same and only one tablet for two years.
[Galaxy Tab S General] nanca:
Does it take ages to boot?????
[Galaxy Tab S General] tinko975:
Flashed over roted LP. Rooted again and works good.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
As I said before, it isn't JUST a battery issue. Several, including myself, have tried this and it did nothing! I'm on my second Tab S now and both, my first and second Tab S, only experienced this under Lollipop. Nothing under KitKat.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GoldExperience:
You forgot the Xperia Z3 Tablet that received Marshmallow back in april.

But yeah, androids tablets suffer when it comes to receiving updates.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
I really think, for MOST companies, it's about MONEY. Not updating the OS on a device that has capable hardware just means more sales of newer devices with the latest OS. To me Android just means $$$$$. Why would AT&T, Verizon or Sprint bother to update their versions when they could just say sorry, you need to upgrade your device.

I think we need some consumer protection here in the US that mandates at least 2 full version OS updates to all devices sold. I'm talking from like a version 5.XX To 6.XX not some minor BS like 5.01 to 5.02.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
It did take much too long to get MM but the tablet in not less than 2 years old. I got mine when they were first available July 2014.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------

I agree, It's more profitable for them to sell new tablets opposed to keep updating older ones. But we did get 2 full updates on the Tab S. It was released with Kitkat. I would like to see them support the tablets for 3 years. Since there is a new Android version every year, that would mean 3 firmware updates.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Got mine with v4.x.x and got one full version step to 5.x.x...when I get v6.x.x that will be 2 full updates in my way of seeing it. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S General] DKM119:
So I have a question about default application selection.

On lollipop when I play a video I get to choose the player that I want to use and if I want it to make that player the default player for all videos, if I choose no I would get to choose the video player app everytime I wanted to watch a video.

Now on MM it doesn't give me that choice, it automatically stick the last player that I use for video as a default... and I have to go to settings>application and remove the default from whatever video player app was assigned.

Is there a way to deactivate this?

I use different video apps sometime I stream to chromecast using allcast sometimes I watch it on the tablet using mx player or vlc player...
[Galaxy Tab S General] SammyK300:
It's also a mainboard issue, I had mine and the battery replaced by Samsung which fixed it
[Galaxy Tab S General] gadzooks64:
I was SHOCKED to hear my custom Hangouts notification go off on my tablet when I could see I had no new conversations going on via my desktop. Wandered over to see what was up with my tablet when I see the notification for the update!?!?!?!?

OMG I was sure we were never going to get another update on the Tab S.

And now I not-so-patiently wait for my 268 apps to optimize.

This will have all be worth it if only for the fix to the stupid touch lights. I want those bad boys off all the time.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Funny how different we all are....I want mine (lights) on all the time.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
I'd keep mine on too if they weren't so bright or could be dimmed, but since I can't I keep them off. I don't like being blinded at night.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GoldExperience:
Sadly this is the default behavior for all Samsung devices running Marshmallow.

I saw a lot of people complaining about this, take this article for example: http://www.droid-life.com/2016/03/07/things-i-hate-about-the-galaxy-s7/

As a workaround you could try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&hl=en

Not the best solution but better than nothing.

Edit: Here's another option https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith&hl=en

[Galaxy Tab S General] warriorking:

Just a bit of a bummer that we in the States are one of the last to get it..

Oh well.. It will come eventually..
[Galaxy Tab S General] grahamu:
There's an app to control the lights. Can be on, off or adjust on time (no dimming though). Galaxy button lights.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mrbears:
Can you confirm you got marshmallow stock update from Samsung in the U.S. for Galaxy Tab S 10.5?

If so, this is the news we have all been waiting for. Are you wifi model or LTE model?

Thanks for sharing and do let us know how your experience is with updated system.

P.S. How long did the update take?
[Galaxy Tab S General] gadzooks64:
Stock update on the Tab S 8.4 not the 10. Yes, in the USA. WiFi model.

So far so good. Seems zippier. Best part, more storage left after the update. Gained less than a gig but every but helps.

Thrilled that my phone, S7E, and tablet are on the same version of Android!

Flashed the Swiss 6.0.1 rom from Sammobile, won't boot, samsung logo with series of vibrations like 1.... 1 2 3....... then repeats.

Tried reflashing a few times, can't seem to get into recovery but can get into download mode for odin, any ideas?

Had a search but didn't find anything.

T700 8.4 wifi, latest odin, but tried with older version, swiss 6.0.1 rom.
[Galaxy Tab S General] deniz1905:
you need to wipe cache. to enter recovery you should press vol down + home + power button in samsung logo screen then once you see black screen change to volume up button without releasing other fingers until you get into recovery mode. so you can able to wipe cache to pass samsung logo. but remember first boot lasts 10-12 mins, be patient. Good luck and let me know.
[Galaxy Tab S General] grahamu:

My Nexus 5X phone is nagging me that Android 7 OTA is now available. On the other hand, the Tab S still hasn't gotten the official 6.x OTA. And Samsung still wants people to buy its hardware after this?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ThePigletWhisperer:
Guys, has anyone successfully enabled the navigation bar on official TW MM without having overlay issues?

I tried a bunch of apps that edit build.prop and most of them don't work.

The few that do work, eventually are rendered useless since they trigger the overlay issue.

I prefer holding my t805 in portait mode, so it makes more sense to disable the capacitive buttons and enable the soft bar
[Galaxy Tab S General] _RoRo_:
I updated my sm t800 a couple days ago. No issues so far. I'm in france
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
Did you try the New Zealand version? I'm in the U.S. and the New Zealand firmware works great.
[Galaxy Tab S General] warriorking:
No..

Never Rooted or used other Software to upgrade my tablets..

I usually wait for the OTA updates when they become available..

I am afraid of bricking my tablet....
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You can't really brick your tablet with official firmware.

In fact it takes some effort to brick it all.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
That ain't sayin' much for Samsung...sometimes I wonder if they even test anything before they toss it out to the public...
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
I have owned a S7 Edge since the first day they were available. I fast charge mine with the USB cord and also a fast wireless charger. I never felt it overheat. My S6 would overheat while using my Gear VR but not the S7 Edge. I know quite a few people with the Edge and I never heard one owner complain about heat while charging. Maybe that owner you speak of has a defective phone.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
I apologize, I can understand why you apparently took my reply as being critical. I know everyone's experience is not going to be the same. It's just that I don't have a overheating problem, nor had the several other owners I know ever mention overheating, though they talk a lot about their phones. BTW, I do use the travel charger and cable that came with the phone. I have a Samsung quick charger that I connect the stock travel adapter and cable to. Sometimes I remove the cable from the cordless charger and plug it directly into the phone because it charges faster that way. Either way, it's gets just a little warm. Nowhere near being hot. I know hot, that's one of the reason's I got rid of the S6 as has others. I was sincere in suggesting that the person with the hot phone may of had a defect. I may be wrong but I don't think the S7 Edge generally overheats. If mine was overheating I would have addressed it with the carrier or Samsung and demand a solution.

[Galaxy Tab S General] amateurhack:
Yeah, like I said back when the German version first landed, we will see the US/English version in November.
[Galaxy Tab S General] stopa10:
So, just to confirm this, no T705 MM update available anywhere in the world yet, right? All announcements so far were just fakes, weren't they?
[Galaxy Tab S General] msd24200:
yeah I am still waiting for that update as well.

[Galaxy Tab S General] warriorking:
Installed without a hitch, Android is now optimizing apps...

:laugh: Finished optimization and I am now officially running MM 6.0.1...

Will now do a factory reset and reinstall my apps...
[Galaxy Tab S General] DaWeav:
Crap, it still has all that bloatware that cannot be natively uninstalled! Why they still have all of those Hancom Office apps in this build is just dumb.

And, I will confirm a previous post that they might not have the native Marshmallow fingerprint stuff loaded since an app with fingerprint support that I can use the fingerprint to login to on my S6, doesn't give me the fingerprint option on the 10.5 at all. Bummer!
[Galaxy Tab S General] rstekeur:
I just checked and I'm d/l a 872mb OTA now. Mine has been so buggy since I did a factory reset, I hope this fixes it. I'ts been a great tab untill I did a reset but since then it's been a POS
[Galaxy Tab S General] warriorking:
Been purring like a kitten thus far since the update..
[Galaxy Tab S General] rstekeur:
I did the reset before the 6.01 update so I'm still optimistic, If it's as bad as it was before, it's going in the garbage and that will be the last samsung I ever buy. It froze up in the D/L mode, I couldn't even shut it off. I had to let it run untill the battery died
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Well after the MM was installed I now have issues with Kodi 17 Krypton Beta 2. Each time Kodi starts and off and on through out doing things, like starting a video, I get an audio pop. Sounds as if a 3.5mm headset was plugged in but didn't make a good connect...short static pop. So I'll fall back to 16.1 and see if it's there....other than that, I like it so far. It's not all that different to me.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I get the same on my T800 with with "Kodi 17 Krypton Beta 2" it must be a bug and needs reporting.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
You know I would report it but they made it so difficult to do I'll just wait and see what happens. For now, I'm back to 16.1. Tried beta 1 and got the same issue...just an FYI.
