I have another request, if you don't mind jedld.

Is it possible to make a rom that run magisk instead or normal root so that pokemon go can run?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Working on custom recovery, that way you can revert back to stock and use the standard methods of root install to achieve that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] venomrat:
That's great.

Thanks.

I have the T280. I managed to download it with a third-party application. Nice work! I was so frustrated that this device had no root and I lost all hope for it, since Ashyx told me about it. I installed it and it does work! Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] klemen241:
oh ok, i have t280 too, if you need any info just ask. Yea i was like omg another unrootable device i bought, i was so sad. But now i am happy i bought it,its gonna be great. Just wait for cm or aosp and oc and it will be a beast
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
Im Rooted

but i still cant find the file to raise the volume

also how can we take off when we are talking on the phone and you have to double tap to unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
You can wait for ashyx to release TWRP for the T280, after that you can flash the various sound mods available in the xda site. You should also try out Samsung's SoundAlive by enabling it in the sound settings, seems pretty decent to me. Dolby is also included so try it out as well. As for the double tap to unlock, not really sure, maybe there are samsung specific xposed framework modules to handle that.

I am currently working to get a CM or OMNI build on this ROM, however do note that this takes a lot of time and effort to perform, don't expect it to be out within a month since I am just working on it on my free time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] venomrat:
I got excited when I saw this. :p

If I may ask, is this stable enough for everyday use?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I do not make any guarantees, but I am using it right now and managed to install magisk, xposed, phh superuser and a bunch of other stuff, haven't tried if mtp works. ashyx may release a better/official version but take of this of what you will :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] venomrat:
Great! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
If you need to flash any mods you can use flashfire.

I'm slowly making some progress with twrp.

However the T280 setup is very different to the T285.

You think they'd be the same with just a bit of extra hardware, but there seems to be many differences.

[MENTION=649003]jedld[/MENTION] is there any chance you could try something out for me.

Could you see if the custom kernel boots the stock recovery?

I think the sources for the T280 are fubarred.

The defconfig is very different and the kernels are totally different too.

T285 uses a compressed kernel the T280 doesn't.

The build scripts aren't even the same. I had this issue months ago with the kernel not booting and nothing has changed even though there has been a newer release.

ext sd not mounted

Thank you very much for this root. One thing i noticed my external memory cannot mount. When i checked in storage there is the sd card but not mounted. when i press mount it mounts and automatically unmount itself. im using SM-T285 & V5 of your rom. I do wipe and perform factory reset for this tab before flashing this rom. maybe it is only me or something i did wrong, Other than that this rom is good and smooth.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I'll probably have one more release just to clean things up now that we have root, will bundle in twrp as well. I'm working on getting a custom kernel that works with the stock image and an OMNI build next.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] piki88:
ok thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Haven't tried if the custom kernel boots the stock recovery however I did try booting the stock image using the custom kernel, I was unable to boot it up at first, but after a couple of hours of work and tweaks to the kernel flags I was able to get it to boot animate. That is as far as I got so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] dracolito1:
My sd card is ok because i tried to flash original firmware for this tab and no problem for mounting of sd card. but no worries i just flashed twrp and root my tab. its now rooted thanks to you all for making this possible.. i just want to use your rom because of its good features, bloat free and more free memory thats why im very eager for this rom to work for my tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
It's OK it works fine with the stock recovery.

However same issue with booting the OS as you.

We had the same issue a while back with the Tab A T550 and T555 on LL. Wouldn't boot the OS but was fine with recovery.

I suspect it's an SElinux issue.

Samsung would not admit to an issue with the source code.

The problem wasn't solved until they released the sources for MM and it was magically fixed.

Good afternoon,

If I install this Rom (T280), would it trigger any flag (hardware based) that says it was rooted? ... I mean that, in case of any problem with the tablet, can I just re-flash the stock rom and no-one the wiser or would it leave a non-erasable flag that the warranty was void?

Best regards

jedld mentioned he used gparted in linux to perform the formatting.

http://gparted.org/ has a livecd / usb version you could use. Maybe you could try that.

Might need to tweak the kernel for that. I am unable to investigate further for your device since I only have the SM-T280. I just got a working kernel from source for the SM-T285 so I'll try to check it out for the LTE users.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:

miscellaneous files

Guys, need your help please. A bit of history: I am a site manager and I work for a big house builder in London. We use an application called Field View Priority One for all our site management. This works on Android devices like Samsung Tablets. I was put in charge of this and long story short I've ordered a large number of Samsung Tab A SM-T285 to use with this not realising that this 8Gb of internal memory.

Field View application it's only 40Mb but it downloads all the info that is related to the project (like drawings, forms etc) and creates a single file called MCS under the miscellaneous files. For our project here this file is 4Gb so unfortunately no more space on the tablet.

I've contacted FV developers and they will not allow the app to be moved to a memory card so I ended up here.

Can you please advise or post a link on how to use Odin to flash the tablets with the new ROM developed here, I've read a lot of other guides for how to format the memory card etc. and also can you please advise if by rooting the tablet and using a using an application like Link2SD will actually move the miscellaneous files also as moving the app itself only won't help.

Thank you so much for your help.

George
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
In theory Link2SD should help as it is able to move both app and data files and creates a softlink to the SD. Though you have to test it for yourself.

Thought I was given a crappy Samsung tablet by my step father (for free and we don't get along at all, so I know this will cost me later...dunno how but I know it will) but because of jedld and ashyx this tablet will survive for a year or so.

Thank you guys so much.

I will flash it and let you all know how it all goes.

Question thou, I have never used Heimdall and now that I have an iMac and a Sumsung device can someone please tell me if I have to flash just the system img as in the first post or will I need to flash both system and boot img's. I am coming from stock firmware for NZ with ashyx's root and recovery guide for the T280 here.

And lastly, what would it take to compile CM or AOSP for this device? I'm guessing we need sources and such but what is available and what isn't to get this done? Im pretty much ready to steal my work PC one weekend and bring it home to build from source.

Anyway,

Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
First, for V5 edition you need to flash both boot and system as the boot image is setup to support root. If you just need root and remain on the stock image you can just follow the post for installing TWRP on your 280 in one of the threads you mentioned.

Second, for CM/AOSP like roms, I am building an OMNI based 6.01 rom for the T285 here (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/rom-omni-galaxy-tab-7-lte-sm-t285-t3489150). For the T280 I'm not sure if anyone is taking it up, for one thing T280 users still need a working source compiled linux kernel, something which I've already done for the T285. I'd build one for the T280 if I had access to the device, unfortunately my country only has the T285 widely available.

If you do have time, the kernel sources for the T280 can be found here http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=SM-T280. From what I know [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] already gave it a shot but was only able to use it to boot recovery. For the T285 that was also the case until I spent time figuring out the correct defconfig flags to enable so that it would boot the stock image. After that, if you intend to boot anything android 6.0 and higher, you need to patch the selinux kernel libraries so that it can read the latest policy db versions.

After rooting I was not able to use Link2SD on my 280 to mount my 2nd partition for moving complete apps. Therefore I flashed this ROM and also got rid of some bloatware, good work!

Problem is that I still have issues to mount the second partition so my question is if I have to run the scripts where the OP is referring to? And are those 285 scripts OK for 280 devices too?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
In theory it should work for 280 devices as well, though this is for advanced users only and it is recommended that you understand what those scripts do and at least know how to read them.
