Ok, This is the bit that I'm missing...

So install SuperSu, then do another instal, of the boot, before reboot??

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

Yeah losing it here....

After I put the zip for twrp in the AP slot, all goes good, then start twrp and load the SuperSu, when thats done, all I can do is slide to reboot?? (maybe clear cache also?)

Where do I go for this next step?

Help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Just press the home button or back key to go back to INSTALL.

Thanks mate, I'll buy ya a beer for sure...

Ok, mods can delete my ramblings if they wish but for any that want to know... my problem was..

The back button, or home button, after twrp had done its initial thing...

Then even though most processes seemed to want the packaged, 'zipped' content...

The last step doesn't. It wants the unpackaged 'image' file.

So unpack it and direct to the IMG file!

Then all seems dandy!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Yep you got it. As per the instructions you can use ODIN or extract the image and flash with twrp.

Mount issue

Hi. I've installed TWRP and all went fine.

I have one problem though: When I mount USB storage in recovery, it confirms it is mounted but the menu bar at the bottom disappears. This means that I cannot do anything other than hit the unmount button. ie I can't go back to the main menu to, say browse the USB storage, save an image to it, load an image from it, etc.

In all other options/menus, I get the menu bar at the bottom with the back and home buttons. It's only when I've mounted USB that I dont.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Which device. Have you tried pressing the home key?

Can you post a screen shot?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] brekel42:
Can you take screen shots in recovery mode?

I'll take a photo with my phone in a few minutes. It's an sm-t280.

Aftet mounting usb storage, the basic screen layout is the same except the bar at the bottom that normally shows the 3 icons is just all black.

Can I upload a photo directly, or do I have to upload it somewhere else and link to it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Screenshot in recovery is POWER + DOWN.

Like I said in my previous post you can press the home key to return to the main screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] brekel42:
The home key seems to work from other screens, but doesn't work after USB mounting. It wont do anything (other than the screenshot) until you unmount.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
What screen shot?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] brekel42:
The screenshot attached.

I got around it by using an sd card instead of usb, but it just won't respond after mounting usb.

The same usb drive works fine from the tablet when booted normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rootinchase:
Yesterday I flashed the latest TWRP onto my T280 and then flashed Magisk 16.0 and it works. It seems like we no longer need to use the special pre-rooted boot images on the T280.

P.S. I know I need to charge it, you don't need to tell me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] teapotman:
I'm a dumbass and didn't backup the stock boot image before I installed the supersu image, and now magisk won't install(says it requires the stock boot image). Am I correct in reading this that it is either supersu or magisk? Also, where can I find the stock boot image so I can restore it?

Thanks, other than my dumb ass mistake this worked great.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
SuperSU makes a backup. Just unroot and it'll ask to restore it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] teapotman:

Thanks in advance. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:

You can flash roms with twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] TayZe:
First i'm rly appreciate ur work!

I follow the guide step by step.. but odin doesnt do anything at > recovery.img

cause why? i checked the oem thing and debugg.

installed samsung drivers

boot into download; plug the tab on, uncheck auto. reboot and hit Start.

sometimes it hangs on connection, after reboot the tab it comes to > recover.img...

Odin shows no Fail or something.

It just does not work anymore.

I installed win10 2 weeks ago

and maybe i miss a few dates (Drivers etc.)?

Thanks

EDIT: I figured out whats the problem. Odin 3.10.17 doesnt work for me. I need the 3.12.17.

EDIT2: Damn, after install Magisk v14 zip, i see Error 1 but all seems okay.

then i installed the img all ok.

reboot and try to install Magisk Manager. Nothing happens... look at SU -> No root?!

After another reboot i stuck in a loop.

Re flash zip, then the img. No loop. but also no root.

And i cant open Magisk Manager now ( was stopped) [after couple of minutes now i can start the Manager; wants to install v16]

Can anyone help me?

I want the root for deleting bloatware and someday install a cw.

EDIT3: Sry for so many edits, SU wants to update the binary files, after i try to update in twrp ( reboot while install?!) ->loop

i only want that damn root back. but nothing works so far.

EDIT4: Haha im such an idiot, i thought i need to install Magisk AND SU.

I updated to Magisk v16. (loaded zip and installed manually through trwp) (In app option doesnt worked for me)

Updated the Official TWRP App, try to give them Root acces -> worked.

looked to SU -> wants still to update SU binary ->closed.

try to give Titanium Backup root again -> worked!

Root Checker -> Root!

I dont know why but im glad that i figured that out ;D

The last thing is Do i need SuperSU AND Magisk? If not i wanna delete SuperSu if thats possible.

wow that was a hard work of 4 1/2 hours to get it.

Sorry 4 Bad english and a big Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Karen954:
I just rooted my Galaxy Tab SM-T280. I followed this person's instructions. Since this is my first post it won't let me post a link. It is **********DOTcom plus the following below

/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-a-sm-t280-and-install-twrp/

After I installed the first SuperSu, I could not get it to reboot either. I'm not sure of my exact steps, as I have no clue what I am doing. I know I clear cache, data etc and don't know if that was necessary but finally got to the point I was able to use TWRP to install the 2nd SuperSu listed in the above link and it boots perfect and checks out that it is rooted.

I would like to return the tablet to it's stock ROM, but can't seem to find the official Samsung OEM. I downloaded an app called NoBloat to try and remove unnecessary stuff, but I also don't know all that is necessary or not. The ROM in the very first post, is that a totally barebones thing or does it still have the camera, email etc.? I do want the basics like the camera and stuff on the tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wegiwegi:
I have rooted my Tab A SM-T280 following the instructions from ashyx on the first page, and I have done it as follows

First Backup all your files, using smart switch or other backup methods

Installed Odin 3.10.7 on laptop

Flashed TWRP 3.2.1.1

Booted into twrp

Swiped to allow modifications

Then wipe>Format Data>typed YES and continue this will delete everything, and allow twrp to decrypt and write into data folder

Once done, middle botton home

Then I followed the Magisk root way

First I copied magisk_v14, magisk_boot file and magisk manager.apk to the tablet's sd card from laptop through MTP

then Installed magisk_v14 within twrp

then back home click install>install image obviously select storage>sd card your file will be there

then before rebooting into system, I have done a backup from twrp

once rebooted, you have to set your tablet as new, just a few minutes,

Do not forget to go to about device>software info> click seven times on software build number

then developer options>OEM unlocking> and USB debbuging then go and allow unknow sources on lock screen and security

then install magisk manager, during installation will ask you if you want to upgrade to v16, just say yes, same thing for the magisk manager will ask you to get the latest one, then I restored the backup made before flashing twrp

All done and rooted in one go, enjoy

You could reboot into twrp recovery and do a backup of your actual system as it is right now :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jimabecker@homtial.com:
Confused

Ok so let me get this right I install magisk instead of supersu. Also that magisk 14 link seems to be broken. I was going to get it from someone else but I found out that magisk is up to 16.4. So I assume that there is something about this version. So I guess I will have to wait for the link to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] The Lich:
Just wanna confirm that I successfully rooted my girlfriend's SM-T280 in less than 10 minutes using the TWRP from the first post (v3.2.1-1 as of this writing)

Thanks so much to [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] for his work!

Anyway, Magisk has been updated a lot since 2017 so the process has changed.

Since development on SuperSu is dying, Magisk is the recommended rooting method now.

I think it actually patches the boot image for you and everything. (Can anyone confirm this? The flashing output mentioned it)

tl;dr - Here are the steps:

WARNING:

This will delete your data at Step 6 in order to prevent random errata and ensure everything is writable.

0. Tap on the Build Number in Settings to enable Developer Mode, then check Developer Mode > OEM Unlocking (and Developer Mode > USB Debugging for good measure)

1. Download the latest Odin - I used 3.12.10

2. Download the corresponding TWRP .tar image for your device from the first post

3. Plug In your Device and put it into download mode. (Power + Home + VolDn)

4. In Odin, click the AP button and select the .tar from step 2. Then, switch to the Options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot.

5. Click Start. When Odin says PASS, reboot into recovery mode (Power + Home + VolUp) - it should be TWRP.

6. Swipe to allow modifications, then go to Wipe > Format Data and type "yes" (Formatting deletes your data)

7. Download the Latest Magisk and Magisk Manager (v16 and v5.7.0 as of this writing)

8. Push Magisk-vXX.zip to /sdcard with adb or Android File Transfer

9. In TWRP, go to Install and select the Magisk .zip from step 7

9a. (optional) Busybox is no longer included with Magisk as of v13. I flashed a .zip by osm0sis for it from here

10. Boot up and install MagiskManager-vXXX.apk via adb or whatever means. Update the TWRP app, etc.

Voila!

A reboot couldn't hurt, but you should be good to go!

Magisk should show root *and* also pass all SafetyNet checks!

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Hoodeddeathman:
To my best understanding the 821 is exactly the same physically as the 820 however they are the better binned versions that are able to overclock more. My brief explanation would be they are tested and found to be higher quality thus can run faster.

This website will be able to offer a better more in depth explanation of binning just think of the 821 as a better binned 820 as you read: http://androidcreations.weebly.com/cpu-binning-explained.html

With regards to the Pixel being clocked lower than what QC said the 821 is capable of my best guess would be they wanted to use less power and create less heat and tested 2.15 and 1.6 respectively as a sweet spot. The GPU is also clocked higher according the QC.

Check both Dbrands and Slickwraps. I recently got the concrete skin from Dbrands but I am not to happy with them. When I order something from Slickwraps, it normally comes in a pretty timely fashion.

Go ahead and look at a map for once in your life. Tell me where Toronto is and where New York is. I'll wait.

They're Canadian. It's obvious to anyone who has ever opened a book that they use the USPS in NY to ship to their American customers.

I also had a package lost in transit, but they not only sent another one out within a couple days, they added an extra skin to the original order. I wasn't happy that it got lost, but they definitely made up for it with good CS.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Tower1972:
Well that was a nice little volatile response. It just seemed odd to me that it took them almost a week to release my order. So the central office is in Toronto, and the warehouses are in New York? And crap..Toronto is in Canada? I could have sworn it was a suburb in New Zealand!
