Works great on SM-T357T .

Although browsing the forums I haven't seen a too much to flash for the 357t variant . I've seen a few for the ROMs 350 .

can any T357T users give me some input ? Which ROM's / Kernels out are capatible for the 357T chipset?

Hi! I'd like to install twrp and your patch on a sm-t550 running NOUGAT

1. Do I need to root it?

2. May I use Magisk if needed?

3. Any advice on the process?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Root not needed, use whichever root method you like.

Spreadtrum and Snapdragon SOC's are 2 totally different chips and manufactured by completely different chip makers.

Qualcomm are not associated with Spreadtrum.

They are also different ends of the scale. Spreadtrum is considered a budget chip maker whereas Qualcomm manufacturer the Snapdragon chips used in middle to high end devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Delgoth:
Well then I have to ask, why do all the devices I mentioned above list themselves as using the MSM8916 Board? When the MSM8916 board is actually the Snapdragon 410.

Do the board just have different cpu cores in them then? And the rest of the SoC are the same? Because the only difference in the hardware I see otherwise is the CPU Clock speed. And only the APQ8016 versions run at 1.2GHz while the others are normally clocked @ 1.3GHz
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
They don't, wherever you're getting those specs from is incorrect. Those phone sites often list the specs wrong or confusingly.

They also seem to use the same source for their incorrect info.

These are the correct specs and come from the device itself so is always accurate.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Delgoth:
Okay, so I get your point now. I have been a bit messed up on my information. Glad to be on track now then. But please bare with me for at least this one last thing.

I guess what really got me confused in the first place is how the Snapdragon 410, has both the MSM8916 and APQ8016 designations. Using devicespecifications.com like you mentioned here is the comparison between the SM-T350 and T355. The T350 is listed as Snapdragon 410 APQ8016, yet the T355 is listed as Snapdragon 410 MSM8916.

When I use the apps "Dalvik Explorer" & "Droid Device Info" on my SM-T350 & SM-T560NU, they list the Mainboard as "MSM8916", but the hardware as "Qualcomm Technologies, Inc APQ8016". Both Apps only show "armeabi-v7a armeabi" on the CPU ABI's line. So my devices are not 64-bit ARMv8 like devicespecifications.com indicates.

There's just a bunch of different stuff out there about these devices. My bad for putting my foot in my mouth, I'm trying to get it all situated since the info is all spread out.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Snapdragon 410, APQ8016, msm8916 are all part of the same chipset.

They are not different cpu's or boards, it's just different terminology.

The chipset supports 64bit architecture , but Samsung has decided to run it in 32bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] megamb11:
Thanks for your insight on this Delgoth.

I have both the T350XX and the T357T and will be interested in your further developments and comments on this.

[MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]

Thank you too for the work done within TWRP.

What is the latest build available for the T350 running Nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Nougat T355 build can be flashed on the T350.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Delgoth:
Well that's good news. you think the Official TWRP for the T560NU would work as well? I feel it should.

But I had a question about how you compiled TWRP for the T350. I'd PM you, but yeah lol. I prefer the info to be in the forums in the traditional XDA Spirit.

My question is, did you use the TWRP_Samsung_gtelwifiue repo to compile TWRP for the T350? I don't see a device tree for the gt58wifixx anywhere on the internet really.

I'm looking through your Github, because I really want to compile it myself, even if it is unmodified by me. I have the Ubuntu Box to do it. I''m writing this as I'm preparing to start walking through Dees_Troy's TWRP Compile Guide, but you have already compiled it for my device specifically.

While I'm not asking how to set up the whole build process. What I am asking for, is what you did to make Dees_Troy's guide work correctly for the T350 so I can do the same. Because right now I feel a little useless since I bought my T350 & T560NU tablets specifically to learn how to build Android/TWRP. It's the only thing about Dev'ing that I can't attest to and help others with.

I really want to Compile TWRP myself so I can change the logos and some strings here and there. Just to make it personal ya know?

EDIT: I guess I forgot about the Evervolv 6.0.1 ROM for the T350, found their device tree here .

But I'd still like to know about you please.

HI. please provide twrp for tab A 8(2017). SM- T385 NOUGAT. I READ SOMEWHERE IN THIS FORUM THAT TWRP FOR SM-T380 WILL WORK ON T-385 ALSO. BUT IT DIDN'T. I TRIED AND MY TAB WAS STUCK AT REBOOT . NOT EVEN ENTERING DOWNLOAD MODE AND RECOVERY MODE. I TRIED ON THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT IT. IT WAS BEYOND RECOVERY . I VISITED SERVICE CENTRE AND EVEN THEY CAN'T RECOVER IT. THANKFULLY IT GOT REPALCED.... SO I DONT WANT TO RISK ANYMORE SO PLEASE PROVIDE TWRP FOR THIS MODEL THAT IS SM- T385.

thanks for replying.... but that was the thread i was talking. i tried this twrp but my device got damaged. thats why i asked for twrp specific for t385. but now i will wait for 2-3 months. may be in this time twrp for this model be developed. if not then will try this twrp after sometime so that if my device got damaged again. i will get it replaced.....

and one more thing. i was not SHOUTING. just asking for help
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Capitals = SHOUTING.

The TWRP referred to has already been tested on both the T380 and T385 and confirmed to work on both.

Also it is HIGHLY unlikely simply flashing a custom recovery can in anyway damage your device even if it wasn't the correct one for the device.

The most that could happen is a soft brick causing a boot loop or boot hang.

Both totally fixable.

I'd probably suspect pilot error.

All I know is. Since I flashed TWRP 3.1.1 onto both my WiFi only tablets. They now have a bunch of new services running that normally only run a mobile device with Cellular Data connections. I have modem partitions now that I never noticed before.

Its like my devices don't realize they are WiFi only now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] drvish:
I will explain in detail what happened. May be some other thing went wrong. I flashed twrp with odin. I got pass message and my tab. Rebooted. It didn't boot in twrp recovery mode but normal boot and my tab worked like normal. Then i rebooted my tab to recovery mode to install super su. But when i press power vol. + and home button to enter recovery mode. My tab vibrated for long time and then rebooted. Since then it was stuck on that reboot mode. It vibrates, samsung logo appears and reboot. It keep on repeating whole night. I waited till next day so that tab battery will drain and it stop rebooting. And i will try to flash stock rom again. But it never booted nor recognised by adb.

Fried my T550?

I just tried to install TWRP on my T550 (with latest Nougat 7.1.1) but it appears to have burned something out (physically damaged)

I got the "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" message like some of the T350 users had, I continued holding the home+up+power buttons and the screen went black (but still on) and it had some faint wide white lines on it and could barely make out some text in the upper left corner. I repeated the process a couple times, with the same result every time.

But then the bottom got extremely hot and now the screen wont turn on at all.

I can hold the home + vol down + power buttons, wait a few seconds, hit the up button, and Odin will recognize it, so the device is working, but I have no screen.

I flashed a stock ROM onto it through Odin, it chimed afterwards like it was booting for the first time, but no screen.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm listening. It was working perfectly before, but I wanted to remove the bloatware for more space, now it's a brick. Warranty ended 5 months ago.

sm-p550 latest factory image 7.11

tried twrp for nougat twrp_3.1.1-1_sm-t355_251117 sits on black screen

tried twrp twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t550_13317 loads slowly, looks good but all buttons are reversed ie install is wipe and wipe is install, home button etc works

everything appears to work but the swipe to continue doesn't work so you cant actually do anything

ie I can load supersu from local memory but am unable to actually apply it

any suggestions please

You should be using twrp 3.0.2.1 for the p550
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] kwhelan12:
thanks just confusing as its listed as MM so your saying the android version isn't critical

perhaps the OP can be reworded a little better because the question seem to be repeating

worked perfectly

for anyone else who's wondering sm-p550 with 7.11 nougat works with twrp 3.0.2.1 perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
That's because people don't search the thread before posting.

The OP hasn't been updated in a while to reflect the update to Nougat.

It's due, however when I can find the time.

seems small bug in twrp_3.0.2-1_SM-P550 running on nougat where after flashing a zip or wiping cache. randomly tablet is stuck in reboot to recovery every time. Doesn't matter if its a cold boot from off or whatever reboot option is chosen in twrp itself. Only way tofix it seems to be reflash of twrp install from odin.

Doesn't seem to cause any other issues and twrp appears to work ok once reisnstalled.

Blank screen on SM-T555

Have SM-T555, flashed stock 7.1.1, then flashed twrp_3.1.1-1_sm-t355_251117.

Now, when trying to go to recovery it goes to blank screen, after SAMSUNG logo with yellow warning in top left.

Any ideas to fix it?

UPD

twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-t555 - got recovery, but frozen on welcome screen. Tried swiping to allow modifications, etc., but no response. After abt. 1min padlock icon appeared. May be it was trying to react to swipe...

I previously used the adb shell command on my sm-t350 (a year ago) to have my SD card function as internal memory. Since it updated to 7.1.1 I factory reset it and now that will not work, I am looking into rooting it, but even looking at the superSU link on the first page it says I need an unlockable bootloader. I have never rooted anything before, and I am wondering how I unlock that so that I can do TWRP then install superSU, I don't want to brick it and everywhere I have looked has no real clear answers about how to unlock the bootloader on the t350, probably because everyone knows something I don't. Any help or answers would be awesome! Thanks

Check out lineage 15.1 Oreo for SM-T 350 on xda Bluetooth error just keep closing error and quickly setup your account and wifi. Twrp 3.2.1 is also available on the xda thread with lineage although there's trouble with restoring efs and modem don't do it it'll break your efs partition but I wrote on the the thread the fix you need to go into twrp terminal or adb and type a command and it'll fix it. Do full wipe install room, gapps and magisk 16 for root.

Twrp 3.2.1 was made from lte source code I believe it is what causes the efs to corrupt but I'm not 100 percent sure could be something else.

TWRP Will not open. Goes to stock recovery

I have done exactly what this thread says. I have done exactly what other threads say. Everytime ODIN says PASS, but when I reboot to recovery it goes to the blue screen where there's an android logo and says "installing system update" then it will say "no command" and then it goes to stock recovery. I am using the correct twrp file.

One instance I used a file that I wasn't sure if it was the correct one... And it was the closest I've got to it almost working. When I used that, and rebooted to recovery mode... The screen briefly flashed the logo of twrp, but when blank and stayed blank until I rebooted in download mode. I am using galaxy tab A 9.1 SM-T550 on Nougat 7.1.1.

I read somehwere that the custom recovery is temporary and after using ODIN it said not to reboot normally or it will go back to stock recovery. Well I have tried going from download mode and rebooting normally, going from download mode to recovery mode, going from download mode to download mode to recovery mode. It just won't open the twrp recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Quite obviously not.

Posted as clear as can be in th OP and reiterated countless times in this thread and still ignored:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] princethryan:
Yes. Yes I am doing exactly that. And the results are still the same. TWRP is not coming up. I am doing exactly as you said step by step. I explained that in my first post. I've tried it your way, and I've tried it other ways. They all don't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] princethryan:
I seriously have done exactly as you said. I'm no noob at this. I have flashed and rooted samsung phones before. I have experience with download mode, recovery mode (stock and custom), and Odin. I have done exactly as you said and it does not pull up twrp. It will only go in to stock recovery.

And only when I go from download mode to download mode again to recovery mode it will almost start twrp but it doesnt. What I mean is, it will very quickly flash the twrp screen, then will just go blank. The device is still on but it will just be black screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Booting to a blank screen is a different scenario to booting to stock recovery, which is purely pilot error. I've dealt with it countless times which is why I get snarky when someone comes along and posts it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] arbitrarygrill:
Heyy OP, I really appreciate your work but on my SM-T350 no matter which stock firmware I flash it seems that recovery boots to a blank screen while device manager seems to pick up that it has booted into TWRP.

You mention a 'pilot error', but what am I doing wrong? I'm flashing it through odin on AP, I'm pressing power+home+volume up, it's mentioning set warranty bit recovery.

I've flashed every single version of the recovery listed and all lead to a blank screen for me unfortunately.

The custom build on the lineage 15.1 thread also does the same thing!

I probably should elaborate that I'm using variations of the november build.
