Hello there is there any method I can do by myslef to unlock my device network so I can insert all types of Sim card?

sorry no. You will either need to get the unlock code from your provider or a 3rd party for a fee.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu Pidaso:
So I have gotten a notification that update n910pvps4dqa1 is ready to install. My problem is that my Note 4 has the issue that some others have (mmc error) and cannot restart my phone without removing battery for 5 minutes. The phones NEEDS to actually restart in order to install the update. Is there a way to get the update off of my phone and use ODIN or something to get this updated?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashthemw:
Download the firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin.

Untick auto reboot in options tab.

Reporting Via N910G.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu Pidaso:
I'll do that as soon as they have it.

having trouble with the SM-T580/XAR link

any alternative links ? and what is the difference between the to files under that link ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] DingoBat:
I've read on other threads that Google FRP (factory reset protection) may cause boot loops when rooting if you've not disabled it, but I can't find a definitive answers on exactly how you disable on the Tab A.

Anyone have the answer?

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Make sure you disable any ad blockers in your browser and you sold get to the free (slow) download. Different files are for various regions providing language and keyboard locale settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ctaranto:
Fantastic write up. Worked flawlessly on a brand new SM-P580.

Only thing to add: After finishing all the steps and the tablet is booted, at first launch of SuperSU, it will ask you to disable Knox. If you say OK, the process will likely will hang. So press OK and let SuperSU try. If it hangs for more than 30 seconds, reboot the tab, go back into SuperSU, select OK when asked again, and it should successfully disable Knox.

Also, I did not re-flash the original firmware (since this was a new tablet).

Any work on SM-T587P being done? Us Sprint users are chomping at the bit, lol.....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] DingoBat:
Does anyone know if or when Lineage OS (official or unofficial) may come to the T580?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] th3 game:
Negative On Sprint

I am unable to get this working on the T587P, Sprint Varient. I can flash the LTE version of it (For the T580) but it will not successfully boot to recovery, instead getting stuck on "Recovery Booting" and then showing an odd modified download menu (oddly, I can still flash things through this broken recovery).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] the gladiator:
Any workaround to root the device without modifying the Knox counter ? It's very hard to choose between voiding the warranty or standing with the ads!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] DingoBat:
In short, no. Any custom recovery will trip the Knox counter, and as this is required to obtain root, you can't get root without tripping the counter.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] klaberte:
I agree with Dingo. As mentioned in the Warning on the first post, because of Odin, it is pretty hard to brick these devices; you can always flash a stock image (assuming you have one for your exact make and model) to bring your device back from the grave. If you think it is likely that you will seek support from your phone company, ask them if they can provide support to phones with knox tripped. If instead, you seek your support from XDA, then a tripped Knox is kinda the ritual of initiation. Welcome to the club!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] bartveld:
I can get to point 5f.

However, I can't mount the SD card. Clicking on it doesn't do anything. Any suggestions? I checked if the card could be read before installing TWRP and the SU-file was there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] klaberte:
Are you able to boot into Android, and if so, are you able to see the contents of the SD card using the file browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] bartveld:
Yes, it's all accessible through Android. But of course, once I start up Android after step 5f I lose TWRP and have to start over again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] bartveld:
Yippee! All I had to do was format the sd card and now everything works fine! Thanks for the help and a great guide.

Flash it then get into TWRP format Data to eliminate the encryption (lost all your data and settings like Factory Reset), then install SuperSU and Voila Oreo 8.1 Rooted !

Hope that help. I could not find back the URL which told me to do so !!!

Oreo

Dear all, thanks for so many of you joining this thread. It seems that this type of detailed tutorial has an audience here at XDA. I hope to do something similar for my future devices.

Unfortunately, I no longer have the T580, so won't be able to update this guide for Oreo and future versions of Android. From what I am reading, there are some different steps needed. I can point to this thread, as the more-recent posts seem to be working on updating TWRP and root for Oreo:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] DoyleChris:
Website is a scam.

The website posted for the firmware is a scam, they make the file big enough you haft to pay for a premium account.

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T580/XAR/

They have the 8.1 Firmware and after i registered with a junk email you still cant download it.

So with the link that is provided you are unable to get any of the firmware files.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] fireattack7:
That website you posted doesn't have the US version like the original thread.

I can't get my SM-P580 to start the updated. I am in Odin Mode, and get it to start in Odin, but nothing happens on the tablet. I have updated the drivers and Odin sees the tablet. Odin gets stuck like below.

I got it to flash with these steps and Odin 3.13.1.

1. Right Click, start Odin as Administrator.

2. Select files required.

3. Untick Auto-Reboot and Untick F. Reset Time

4. Put your device into download mode from power off. Do not plug in your device to the computer until you have added the files you wish to flash.

5. Make sure Odin successfully sees your device (you should see COM:<number>).

6. Click Start.

7. Your device will get stuck on the SetupConnection step.

8. Hold POWER + Vol DOWN + HOME until you see the download screen again. This will reboot your device into download mode.

9. Now unplug the device and plug it in again and flash the file.

file copying

Currently trying to root my tablet and am having problems with copying the files over to my memory card via the USB cable. The no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1 file will not seem to copy. Every time I go to copy it, it starts to copy but then stalls a quarter of the way through. Odd thing is I got Magisk to copy over perfectly and that file is even bigger. Also the memory on the card still has 10 MB free.

Hi,

I'm a new here. I would like to flash my SM-T585. However there is no way I can get my tablet in download/odin mode. I tried several options:

- Samsung 300k tool

- USB Jig

None of above works... Recovery mode works though. Any advise? Thanks in advance!

After Pressing Home + Vol. Down + Power to access Recovery, take your finger off the Down button and press the Up Button (While keeping Power and Home buttons pressed).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Nimueh:
If you have the 2 green checkmarks then you're rooted and when an app requests root you will get a popup box asking you to grant or deny it, just like you did on SuperSU :)

Has anyone gotten T580/5 TWRP to work on P580? Brick?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] noxarcana:
So, I just got the SM-P580 and I'm already becoming discouraged. Have I once again bought another Samsung device that's basically dead? Can't do anything with my S9 because of carrier/Samsung shenanigans and the only device I have that I has a working root and TWRP is my SM-T700 (Tab S); which my son now has.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] mordantly:
What firmware is on it? Oreo needs to be downgraded. I would go with CM but I bought mine FOR the spen!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] klaberte:
Holding down Vol - AND Home AND Power, it should go into download mode. From there, reflash an original ROM (like the instructions) and you should be go to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] noxarcana:
Ah, didn't realize I would have to downgrade first. It came with Oreo out of the box. Does the SPen not work on custom roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ashyx:
Not true, where did you aquire that info?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] mordantly:
Everyone reports twrp crashing on O+. My P580 is on N until a fix is available.

As for the spen.. only CM roms are for the non spen version. So to have my pen, I am limited to Sammy based as in stripped stock roms. Small price to pay for the non battery inside pen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ashyx:
You don't necessarily need twrp to gain root.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] mordantly:
True. But twrp makes everything more directly available to us. I'm tempted to try the T580 version.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] noxarcana:
I couldn't get TWRP to flash at all. Tablet was in download mode and the file loaded into the AP section of Odin. Clocked start and it just sat there doing nothing. As I stated before, my P580 came with 8.1 installed. What are my options as far as what necessary? i.e. downgrading required...

Also, ashyx, I remember seeing you around the Tab S forums a lot. Your posts helped me out quite a bit over there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] mordantly:
I recommend getting the tar for Nougat I run BQK1. No issues with twrp or systemless root, etc. Not gotten around to xposed yet. If you are in the US, I can mail you a dvd with the aforementioned tarball ready for odin flashing. It took me many hours to get it from samsung firmware.

Magisk?

Greetings,

I have been at it for hours, and I'm dumbfounded. I have followed the instructions in the OP, but I can't get things to work right. I have an SM-P580. I'd like to have the ability to grant root access to apps that request it, and still be able to install flashable zips.

I much prefer Magisk over the deprecated SuperSU. I tried the instructions in the OP, substituting the Magisk flashable zip file for the SuperSU one. I'm definitely formatting the /data partition, (not wiping it) then installing Magisk, then ashyx no verity. All goes well initially; my tablet boots up, and I go through the setup routine without a hitch. I go into Magisk Manager, and it confirms Root. When I run an app that requires root, it prompts me for access, and I can grant it. The trouble begins when I boot back into TWRP (3.3.0.0). Whether I choose Read-Only or swipe right, I get the dreaded "failed to mount /data (invalid argument)" error, and internal storage reports as zero. I tried this with Magisk 18.1 and 19 as well.

Out of desperation, I started over. I reflashed the stock 8.1.0 ROM using ODIN, flashed TWRP, booted into TWRP, formatted (not wiped) /data, flashed the SuperSU zip linked to in the OP, followed by the ashyx no verity file. I deleted cache and Dalvik, then rebooted. Frustratingly, I get a splash screen boot loop.

I've tried it with Magisk about four times, and with SuperSU three. I'm absolutely at my wit's end. I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's impossible to obtain.

If someone would be so kind as to lend a hand here, I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

Big T

Flash the zip below then format again. Should then remain decrypted.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] BigT74:
Greetings,

Sadly, that didn't work. Here's what I did:

1.) Installed SM-P580 Oreo firmware via ODIN, and allowed the tab to reboot.

2.) Rebooted tab into download mode and installed TWRP 3.3.0-0

3.) Rebooted tab into TWRP.

4.) Formatted (not wiped) the DATA partition.

5.) Without restarting, installed Magisk 19.1 (Stable), then the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019.zip

6.) Wiped Dalvik and Cache.

7.) Rebooted and completed setup.

8.) Updated Magisk Manager to the latest and verified root.

9.) Install Root Essentials, grant it Root access, go through Adoptable Storage routine.

I reboot into recovery and try to flash a .zip (in this case, the Adoptable Storage plugin that accompanies the Root Essentials app).

I get all sorts of grief, as in my previous attempts:

"Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer"

"Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument"

"Unable to recreate /data/media folder"

"Unable to mount storage"

"Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/ .twrps"

"Error: Root Essentials not found on your device"

If I reboot, thankfully I still have root and my apps are still present.

I then tried your instructions by themselves. I flashed Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019.zip and formatted /data. I then repeated steps 7 through 9 above. When I went into TWRP again, I tapped Mount-->Select Storage, and Internal Storage was Zero.

I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I'd be extremely grateful for some assistance.

Thanks Sincerely,

Big T

When I had that issue it was because i didnt want to format the internal sd card...not just factory reset..but format everything. When i didnt format the internal sd section part it would leave behind a .secure or whatever and it wouldnt overwrite it. I tried everything to not wipe it but thats the only way it would mount after.
