Oh man, that didn't click with me at all! The files kept showing up as a RAR due to me using winrar so naturally I got confused when I opened the zip and didn't find a .tar

Thanks! I'll flash the .tar files tomorrow

It all makes sense now, thanks for that :)

So when I install twrp, I will use twrp to install SuperSU which will root the tablet correct??

How do I flash SuperSu with TWRP?

What does it mean to flash SuperSU with TWRP?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] frosty400:
- Copy SuperSU zip file to SD card

- Boot to recovery (TWRP)

- Press Install

- Choose SuperSU zip file

- Flash (install)

I tried out 'TWRP manager' and got stuck in a boot loop to TWRP. I should've researched the app but figured it would just do a regular backup as usual. I'm famous for flubbing up on Mondays.

I did classic backup from the app. It rebooted to recovery as expected, performed backup as expected, but it wouldn't boot to system -- only Recovery.

I tried wiping dalvik and cache. I tried doing a full restore to a recent backup but the boot order was stuck on going only to Recovery.

I was able to get to download mode so I flashed the stock ROM and all is good now. I could've fixed this with ADB or Terminal but I do not trust myself with either.

Note to self: don't let anything micro-manage TWRP.

Set Warranty Bit: Kernel

Hello guys,

I need your help! After following very carefully the instructions on this thread I was able to root and install TWRP today on my son's galaxy tab a. Everything went well (I suppose), except now after each reboot there is a message "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" in yellow which appears in the top left corner of the tablet - it does not seem to do anything else, just appears there for a bit and in a few seconds it's gone - I don't think it's very serious, but it is just annoying.

After I searched google I found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527706,

Where on page 4 there is post #34, which says:

"Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" is a message showing that the device has somehow been modified from factory condition. Such action usually voids the warranty. The message will appear if you have:

Installed a custom kernel.

Rooted your device.

Installed a custom ROM.

The only way to get rid of that "Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" message is to reinstall a stock ROM/kernel, and you can ONLY DO THAT BY USING KIES. If you try to do it using Odin, it will fail, and when you reboot, you'll get an error message to the effect that you have to use Kies to fix your device. Your device will not start, and you will have to pull the battery, connect the device to your computer, reinsert the battery and switch on the phone, and then start Kies, which will then go about fixing the problem.

Kies will:

Restore your phone to factory.

Replace any custom recovery with stock recovery.

Install the LATEST AVAILABLE UPDATE for your device/provider.

UNROOT YOUR DEVICE.

THE ONLY THING KIES CAN'T/WON'T DO is set the warranty bit to "0" because you need special hardware and lots of specialised skill to be able to dismantle your device and use the hardware to write to certain chips on your device's motherboard.

Hope this explanation helps.

Best regards

Chris Souter

My questions to all of you is that really true and if any of you had the same problem, is there another way to (sort of) easily fix it?

Thanks a lot for the help,

Best regards,

P.S. The tablet model is SM-T350, bought a few days ago in Canada and based on the firmwares available on Sammobile, the tablet has the latest version (not sure if that can be the reason for the yellow message)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
It's perfectly normal as the device has been modified.

It is now in a custom state, rooting has modified the kernel boot image.

The only way to remove it is to flash the stock boot image or stock firmware.

This will lose root.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] barnautski:
Thank You

So nothing to worry about - goooood.

And if I don't restart it very often I won't even see that yellow thing that much.

Thanks a lot - I appreciate your quick reply

This TWRP is putting a lot of users in recovery boot loop. After flashing your TWRP it always sets warranty bit to recovery. You can't boot into system other than recovery and download mode. What's going on here?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] patrickbartalesi22:
I had the same problem. Luckily for me reinstalling twrp with odin changed warranty bit to kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CQCmaster:
Thanks for trying to help. I have tried that and it does change the warranty bit to kernel which allows me to boot into system. However, if I go back to recovery forever reason it sets the boot back to recovery bit which means I have to use Odin again to reflash twrp.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lancemoreland:
I also had the issue of TWRP getting caught boot loop with TWRP 3.0.2.1. It would boot loop if you booted into TWRP by any means other than the button push sequence. I was able to boot into download mode and reflash TWRP to finally get out. I have now flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and everything is fine. I hope the updated version gets fixed soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lancemoreland:
[MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION], I see versions of TWRP 3.0.3 floating around. I also see that you have developed this version for a couple of flavors of the Galaxy Tab. Is there a chance that we will see this version for the SM-T350? I am hoping that this version will fix the recovery bootloop problem that some of us are seeing with TWRP 3.0.2.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Yes if you're willing to test. There's a commit that I'm interested in trying which may fix the bootloop.

I'm on P350 and also have bootloop issue when falsh with TWRP 3.0.2-1 version.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Yes it got tested and same issue.

Again I have passed the issue on to teamwin, again no real resolve.

However even though I do have access to a Tab A, it isn't mine and I can't do much testing on it as I don't want to brick it.

But I have just bought a Tab a sm-555 that apparently has a display problem but works, so hopefully I can do some tests on it and nail this damn issue as no other dev that I've asked has a clue either.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lancemoreland:
[MENTION=407779]kevinchg[/MENTION] In the meantime you might consider using TWRP 2.8.7.0. It so far has been flawless for me.

Hi guys!

In a few days ill receive a Samsung Galaxy A Tab (i think), with the model number sm-T550X. I need to flash a recovery and a custom rom for it, as the tablet is running in retail mode right now.

Question:

- What recovery in this thread will best match my sm-T550X? The SM-T550 one?

- Do anyone know where i can find an EU (Denmark) stock firmware for this tablet, just in case?

- Would it be best to enable OEM Unlock from settings, provided the tablet has this setting? I assume that :good:

Im quite skilled when it comes to custom roms and recoveries, also on a technical level - i just never dealt with this particular model - or any such thing as "Retail mode" - jesus christ! :)

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards

First time rooting, and I got it done as per following the OP with out any problems first try.

Trying to run link2sd and it won't see my 2nd partition on the SD card, the faq says I need to disable nand locked?, and I need to "s-off". Is there a way to do this? I spent ages trying to google it but couldn't find anything on it.

Device is a T355 running 601.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
The first thing you need to do is flash t550 twrp.

If you can, enable OEM UNLOCK first(marshmallow).

If your device is running lollipop then install twrp V2.8.7.0

Boot to TWRP and factory reset, reboot to download and install the stock firmware with odin.

Firmware can be found at updato.com.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] TwinAdk:
Thanks! Very clear instructions!

- if my device is newer than LP, what TWRP should I then flash?

- On the web page updato.com (I'll remember that site, thanks!), there are no firmwares for the t550x, so I'm planning on using a t550 firmware from Germany (closest to Denmark) - would that be okay? Or can I flash any region firmware I want? I'm thinking if they locked it down, or if APN or language problems would follow?

Thank you for your time once again!

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
T550x simply means it's a demo model so you need to flash the T550 firmware to make it stock.

Any region should do, but Odin may complain when flashing if the device isn't multi CSC, so stick to the current region the firmware is currently running.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] TwinAdk:
Hi!

Thanks for clearing that up, the X means demo model, great.

How do i verify the current region of the firmware?

Kind Regards

TwinAdk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] TwinAdk:
Everything sorted, thanks! Flashed the recommended stock firmware from the Fenix ROM thread. The one I found myself (German from updato) didn't work with WiFi. I'm now on Fenix and all is good!

Thanks so much for making this happen!

I was wondering if there is anyone that can help me, I am a complete novice at rooting tablets and have recently brought a retail demo model of the SM-P550 and after a few days of failed attempts to root I have eventually managed to install TWRP from the links at the start of this thread, the only problem I have now is if I try to reboot the tablet TWRP says I have no OS installed. I have gone through all the files listed to find an OS to install and I've tried to install roms that I have found but TWRP is not seeing any of the rom files on my dual drive.

Is there anyone who can tell me where I am going wrong or can give me a link to get a copy of an OS that TWRP will see, even if its stock marshmallow.

I have a 16gb Samsung Galaxy s5, that is rooted and its external SD card used to work just fine its internal storage also displayed just fine on pc. However when I booted up link2sd on teh phone and tried to link or bind stuff (i was restored my files and data from an old 4.4.2 lg volt phone to my galaxy s5 6.0.1 phone) and all my apps and data restored just fine via titanium backup. apparently though link2sd rusn differently on an s5 using mashmallow than it dos on a lg volt using kitkat as when I booted it up and rie dto rebind/relink all my apps back to sd on the s5.

It got a message saying something like (i dont remember the error well) "this device doesnt support sdext and needs sdefs, would you like to change it. This can be changed back at any time in the slider" So I figured. Ok even if it dosnt work I can change it back with the slider so I hit yes to change. Yet nothings binded or linked and when I tried to go back and relink all apps manually its saying sd card not found or mounted. Im thinking umm this card was JUST used to restore a titanium backup so why isnt i found?

So I plug the phone into my pc and sure enough not only do I not see an external storage I also notice I cant access the phones internal storage (well i can but its nothing it it) and the pc shows it as 127 mb free of 128 mb... im thinking 128mb? Umm it should say 16gb. So i chdck the storage on the phone itself and it says sd card is unmounted (titanium backup says the same thing when before link2sd titanium accessed my sd card just fine). But the internal storage on the phone reads as 9.82 Gb used of 14-16gb (close to it) which is correct so Im like why doesnt the pc read it as such? I used to just fine before I did what I did on link2sd.

Lastly i took the sd card out of the phone and put in a different sd card and it shows it as unmounted too. so got the first sd card that I previously took out of the phone plugged it into my pc and my pc reads it just fine along with all my backups and what not so i know the sd card isnt damaged. Sooo how do i change whatever i changed on link2sd to get my phone to recognize my sd card correctly again and get my pc to recognize the external storage when its plugged into the phone and recognize the internal storage of the phone as the right size again?
