One question:

I believe that samsung came out with a new firmware for the US SM-T580. When I check for software update, I get a message saying " The phone is rooted and we cannot update via OTA, connect your phone to smartswitch on your computer....bla,bla,bla". If I upgrade to the new stock firmware from samsung using smartswitch and doing a complete new firmware re-initialization ( which will install the latest firmware), can I use this same guide to root my tablet? SM-T580 WIFI US
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] klaberte:

can anyone confirm SM-T585 working? (TAB A LTE). (No SPEN)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] madscientist_42:
For Linux users trying to do this, the recovery's just FINE- but you'll

NEED

to do a few things different.

1) Instead of Odin, use Heimdall. It works perfectly from the GIT repo. (Do

NOT

use the downloadable distro packages...they're

useless

and outdated. Pull down the git repo and follow Linux build instructions (basically have CMake on your machine and let it tell you what's "missing" and install accordingly. run make.)

2) Unpack the tarball or grab the .img file instead.

3) Issue "heimdall flash --RECOVERY <recovery.img>" to flash in the same manner as with ODIN on Windows.

4) Follow all the rest of the steps. The rest of the info's dead on.

Can't mount data partition in TWRP

I just installed the new German version of Nougat and I have the same problem with it that I had with MM. TWRP won't mount the data partition so I can't flash anything in the download folder or backup to internal storage. It will backup the system and cache partitions to the external SD card but NOT the data partition.

BTW, I've already tried formatting the data partition and doing a factory reset from stock recovery. And I never encrypted the data partition.

Hi,

i have a question regarding format data. Often is written, that I should use format data, not wipe. Will I lose all installed apps including data? Or is that a "small" format on the system partition?

I'm asking, because I downgraded my T580 with Odin to the stock rom 6.0.1 and after that I installed all apps again (including customizing). Now I'm planning to backup all apps with Titanium backup. If I will lose all the data again, then I will postpone rooting ;)

Thanks for your answer.

Christian
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Shadowghoster:
Formatting​ data will delete all data stored on /data. It will also delete your internal storage. It is advised to do it since this removes the encryption on this partition, which is often problematic for Root (not sure if dm-verity enabled Root works with the tab)

As a general reminder: Formatting a partition deletes the file system and writes it fresh, wiping will only delete the contents of the partition but not the partition itself. In both cases you have an empty partition afterwards except the fact, that formatting allows you to remove certain file system flags like encryption.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Not surprising. Your tablet is entirely different with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset instead of the Exynos that the T580 and T585 use.

The problem with having the "latest and greatest" is that none of the devs have one yet and so haven't created anything for them.

It's working very well on my SM-T585C (Chinese TD&FDD LTE+ wifi version) using "twrp-3.1.1-0-gtaxlwifi.img.tar". Thanks for the work!

But there's some trick things. After flash the recovery, you have to disable the dm-verify (e.g. install the SuperSu), otherwise the system will keep rebooting at booting logo screen. And also you have to install a patch (--> search "no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip") to disable the auto-encryption, otherwise your /data partition will be auto encrypted at next reboot and the encrypted /data cannot be read by the recovery (you will get in trouble next time when you want to visit /data in recovery).

Hope the decryption algorithm for /data partition can be implemented in the next version of the recovery.

U'll need to do a full data wipe in twrp (you'll lose all pictues vids etc etc)

Then reboot twrp and flash your desired rom.

If you flash magisk 13.5 and above (after you flashed the rom). if im right It will remove the encryption for you

That's what I ended up doing. I was trying to avoid it, but I ended up installing a new rom with magisk built in because of it, so that fixed the problem for me.

First off, thanks for the outline - exactly what I was looking for. :) However it doesn't seem to work as desired: heimdall reports success, the device immediately reboots (into the OS), and whatever I try, I just get back to "stock" Samsung recovery ("Android Recovery"). What could be wrong here? Am I missing something?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
You have to force boot to recovery immediately after flashing. If you allow it to boot to the OS, recovery is replaced with stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
You have to be quick with your fingers. If the "auto-reboot" option is on in Odin, it is even more difficult because as soon as the screen goes black, you must press Home, Vol up and power buttons all at once. Then when the logo screen appears, release the power button. This should bring up the TWRP screen. If not, you have to start over and try again. It is a little easier when you turn off "auto-reboot" in that you manually start the reboot by pressing Home, Vol down and power. Now all you have to do when the screen goes black, is to switch the finger pressing the Vol down button to the Vol up.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] repey6:
I many times installed TWRP to my T585 via official app from Google Play and via Odin and never turn off auto-reboot in Odin. After reboot to system shutdown tab and then press combination of 3 buttons and enter to recovery. Mayby that i T585?

Second method , i used ADB Run app for enter to TWRP from system.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I don't know what happens on a T585, but if you allow a T580 to auto-reboot without being quick enough to hit the three button IMMEDIATELY when the screen goes dark, the tablet will reboot to loading Android system and rewrite the recovery img in the process. Believe me, I've done it many, many times. If that wasn't true, the OP wouldn't be having a problem.

edit: I have two T580 tablets. My "goto" tablet has the stock ROM but the other one I use for experimenting. On that one, I try EVERY new ROM that is posted. So I've performed the "from scratch" install many times.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] repey6:
If you tried to use cf-auto-root method you get supersu at beginning and then via of.app flash TWRP remaining in the system. Then simply reboot to recovery.

I agree that are two situations when need turn off auto-reboot and when not on the same models. Strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Why should I go to that bother when I know perfectly well how to do it very easily with Odin? Particularly when I'm already in Odin and it only takes a couple of mouse clicks?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] repey6:
You have to be a great virtuoso to do these combinations with three buttons as a musician . For example Sony devices need one button for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Not if you turn off auto-reboot in Odin. Then you can wait for TWRP to finish flashing and take all of time you need to position your fingers on the HOME Vol down and Power buttons. Then its just a matter of moving one finger about half of an inch when the screen goes dark. Easy peasy!!:)

Is this currently still necessary?

Chainfire said here in May 2017 that the next version of SuperSU would deactivate encryption:

"The next SuperSU update will contain an option to completely disable encryption, and today's testing makes me consider enabling this by default (on Samsung, if detected that /data is currently unencrypted, so a format /data followed by a SuperSU install would automatically fully disable encryption)."
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
I did the testing for one of Chainfire's supersu releases as he wanted to include my patch in it.

However it was decided it would be safer to allow the user to manually invoke the command below:

sorry for the probably already discussed question, but i'm not an expert in this kind of things, and i want to be sure to not make any mystake!

Under these conditions, is really necessasy format data? Could i just, via Odin, flash the TWRP (3.1... or 3.2...), than flash magisk (or SU) from an empty SDCard and reboot without doing anything else? (No format, no dm-verity)...

If not, what about the CF-Auto-Root method?
