I tried to flash the SM-T280 with the latest version of odin 3.12.3 with the directions in the op, and it said error invalid md5 file.

T280XXU0APF6_PURE_HOME.tar.md5.

I see others have it working. I don't know what I might be doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks.

Edit:

Here's what odin shows.

Edit:

I did get it to flash with v3 T280XXU0APF6_PURE_HOME_TINKER_EDITION_V3

When I went to google play, a white screen keeps poping up with the word Drive in the upper left.

I can't seem to get it to go away, and tried restarting as well. It still keeps poping up.

Any Ideals on this?

Will upload my stock app and priv-app folders (not modified-straight from stock for T285M but should be applicable nevertheless) and post One Drive links

TouchwizHome 2015 is in the priv-app folder

Thanks so much for that. I'd saved those folders from the stock rom before I flashed this one but it kept crashing every time I tried setting touchwiz. Loaded up the one you upload and it worked straight away. Go figure :eek:

I bought the tablet and and an indestructible case for a 6 yr old autistic relative that I look after every second weekend. The kids mode is great but after loading a couple of games it quickly ran out of room. This rom has made the tablet actually usable, just a shame it's not as powerful as my note 4 :p
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] guitarmang:
Ok,

I did manage to get the popup screen to go away by letting google do it's updates, then restart.

When I try and do the edit for the platform xml file like this

<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” >
<group gid=”sdcard_r” />
<group gid=”sdcard_rw” />
<group gid=”media_rw” />
</permission>

<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE” >
<group gid=”sdcard_rw” />
<group gid=”media_rw” />
</permission>

I'm using astro, it won't save.

When I check with root apps it says it is not rooted.

I can't figure it out.

How is eveyone else getting this to work with the sm-t280?

I've had no luck at all.

Thanks for your time.

The system partition is read only by default. So if you need to modify files there you need to remount the system partition. Or just boot into TWRP and modify it there. Also I don't think V3 is rooted by default, use V5 instead or install TWRP and root using SuperSU.

Random question:

Is there any way to get Xposed on this device without the ROM?

I'd really like to set the external memory as the default and an app I used previously was the only way, and it just so happens to need Xposed to work.

I've already rooted without any issue, this is the only thing keeping me from progressing and actually being "ok" with this device.

(Having multiple issues with the touch screen along with it randomly locking up and not responding at times.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
You could, but it is kinda tricky. You first need to deodex your stock rom and then after that you can install the wanam xposed framework for lollipop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Wanam xposed doesn't require a deodexed rom for 5.1.1/6.01.

Works fine on stock odex Samsung roms.

Just install the framework and the Xposed Installer 3 Alpha 4.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Dernkeypernch:
This is great, thank you so much OP! :D

Very few problems I've encountered...GravityBox bootloops, so be really wary using it. Write to external SD module, CoolTool seem to work well, ditto Lightning Wall. Update SuperSU.

Greenify, upon initial setup, when asking if your device is rooted - if you click yes, my device is rooted, it seems to be unable to prompt SuperSU even after updated binary and enabling Greenify under device administrators. Clicking unsure / I don't know allows it to proceed normally though, and none of the donation package / Xposed features seem to cause trouble yet. If I can figure it out I'll edit the solution back in.

If you want to save yourself some hassle, I'd immediately create a backup through TWRP before installing modules just to be safe.

Thanks again!

Problems with OTG device

Hi,

I have tried everything and I can not get my usb camera to work,

The usb device is detected in both stock / tinker firmware but there is no video coming through, all I get is a black screen.

I have tested the video device on a Tab3 10" and it works perfect, but I am really struggling to get it working on my sm-t280. has anyone got any advice or maybe something to flash on my tablet?

I have run OTG checker apps and it says the tablet is otg enabled, so I don't see why it isn't working.

Any update on when new version might be available for us 280 users?

Not sure if it's thanks to Link2SD or something else, but I note that if I'm watching a streaming video and the screen turns off at the end (I tend to watch TED Talks when I have insomnia), the tablet will need to be rebooted (and then the quick reboot to get the Link2SD mount working again), as it doesn't want to connect to WiFi again after the screen off following streaming video. If I don't stream video I can go a week or more before rebooting. I *think* it's only an issue if the screen turns itself off but it's annoying enough that I've stopped streaming video on this tablet for now since I have others I can use for that.

edit: this is a problem I've noted is shared regardless of if I'm using YouTube, Netflix, or Amazon Video apps.

The OP mentioned to seach xda, but there are quite a lot and differs - some wanted just to use the AP slot, some wanted to use the other slots, etc. It's confusing. I'm on primarily on a Mac, but have an available VM with Windows (which I've used Odin to root).

Same here, it fails to obtain an IP address, any fix?

- After some tinkering (pun intended) I found that the stock rom 5.1.1. without xposed and superSU did not have this issue. I just ended up dirty flashing that version over the tinker version and wifi got working again.

Then I installed TWRP via ODIN, Supersu and xPosed and it's working like a charm now.

The only task left is to try to get link to sd working and flasing that nice and shiny kernel by jedld...

I can't seem to get odin to flash that kernel and neither doe TWRP. Any tips on how to setup Link to SD and that kernel?

Oh and could you include a regular file manager in the rom? now we cannot even acces our downloads when we first boot up. Doesn't need to be a system imo, since users will have their own preference and will probably install a different one later on.

Cheers for the hard work done on this, really makes a budget tablet into something we can enjoy for a longer period of time.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zenful:
Surprised you have knowledge to flash stuff to your tablet but not know how to fix a soft/hard brick.

Always ALWAYS make a backup before attempting to make any modifications like these to your device.

I would suggest restoring a backup you made using TWRP but from evidence that won't happen lol

So, go for the next best thing:

1) Download a copy of your stock ROM from a reliable source (if not from xda) ((make sure to get the appropriate ROM for your device))

2) Boot into Download Mode & Flash your stock ROM using Odin(for Windows)

or Heimdall (For Linux) ((or if you know what you're doing using adb ))

3) Start from scratch.

These instructions can he found all over using Google or the handy dandy SEARCH feature.

And though this is not my thread, I'm sure the OP would love some feedback about the issue.

Good luck!

(I personally haven't tested this ROM for my T280 due to lack of a PC and no love from the maker making a flashable zip q.q)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ngvhoang96:
Thank you for your reply.

That's not what I meant.

I know how to flash stuff means that I know how to flash the stock firmware, obviously.

It's just that I could NOT find the right firmware for my device. Since the device model that is showed on bestbuy website where I bought was T280NZKAXAR.

I had no idea where in the internet could I found that fw. I supposed I came from Canada based to the end "XAR". However, I bought this one in the U.S. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zenful:
Lol I don't mean to come off rude I just like to poke fun (: but a simple Google search for the build number or make model + the word "firmware" would have lead you to this useful site, keep this in mind for future devices :D and cheer up, your XAR version with cellular south is in the list :)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] _mone:
Hi there!

I'm still working on a proper custom kernel for the T280.. Samsung made this device extremely difficult to work with.. Depends on what I add to the kernel the device won't boot, even if it's just a governor or some minor modifications that I'm used to include in the kernel of my other samsung's devices.

Today I saw your post and I've decided to share at least what I'm able to as of now, and that is a kernel that is able to set selinux to permissive (still trying to find out wtf is the trigger for the no boot).. so I've flashed this tinker edtion ROM (first time for me), made a quick set up (everything worked fine), then I've compiled a kernel (AQA4 sources) with my usual selinux patches, decompiled the included boot.img with the tinker edition ROM and replaced the kernel with my newly compiled kernel, repacked everything, applied the usual patches to the header, flashed the new boot.img and the device was in a boot loop.. So I tought was a kernel source problem, and I've used and older one (T280XXU0APL7) to compile the modified kernel and done again all the steps... again boot loop!

Then I've remembered.. when I bought this device there was no AQA4 sources (kindly provided by samsung's OSRC when I asked for it), and I've started to work with APB6 and APL7 sources.. with those sources I was able to compile a kernel that I could use for a custom recovery but not on a samsung's firmware. Only recently I've started to work on samsung firmware because my LineageOS port was going nowhere so I've decided to try to understard how the samsung mess works like that I may be able to learn something that can help me to finally get rid of samsung's software.

As for now I'm working on T280XXU0AQA4 and T280XXU0AQF1 firmwares and I'm able to modify how I like the system in my device but not able to create a proper system.img to share with the community (I'm having some issues with google play store), and I'm able to use a "limited" custom kernel (based on AQA4 source as AQF1 has not been released yet "already asked for it") with both firmwares..

In conclusion: If you want a permissive kernel, with patches for your favourite root method, for samsung's official firmware AQA4 or AQF1 I can provide it with no issue, but I can't provide a custom kernel for this ROM in its current status, if [MENTION=649003]jedld[/MENTION] updates it with a recent samsung's firmware there will be no problems in running a permissive kernel on this ROM.
