I have SM-T818V and have the same blue screen . I m also doing insurance. Couldn't get it off using every way with power and volume keys.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
Just hold POWER + VOL DOWN it should boot out of that mode or just boot directly in to download mode and flash stock, POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME.

DON'T hold the POWER button longer than necessary. As soon as the screen screen goes blank release all the buttons.

It's all about timing and pressing the right button combo.

Have you got a screen shot of the screen?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] strskysun1:
Already sent it to insurance. Nothing worked . I tried them all for a couple days.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] strskysun1:
Nothing is working . I t hank you for working on the SM-T818V. I've tried every think mentioned. Please keep trying. I know you can figure it out.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] strskysun1:
I have the firmware download. But I don't know how to get it to you.

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------

Yes I will try.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
Wait, what, what's happening now?

Have you managed to sort it out. I'm confused. :confused:

Still unable to flash TWRP without fail. Help

SM-T818V
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
Please try and explain clearly what you are attempting to do as it's getting a little confusing.

There is no TWRP for the T818v.

Are you now able to enter download mode?

I thought you said you were stuck in upload mode?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] strskysun1:
I sent in my tablet and got a new one. I want to root it. With your help. Yes I can get into download mode. I can not get king root to take either. I'm sorry about all this. And you are a very kind person to help me.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
Do you think it's wise to continue messing with your device considering what happened with the last one?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] strskysun1:
No,, but I can't help myself. Haha. It's just that I've rooted every devicell I ever had and I want to do the same with this one. Honestly I don't like to admit to those words ( I cant). So let me start all over. Is there a way to root this device? SM-T818V
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
I uploaded the APL1 eng boot image in post #21.

Please follow the instructions carefully. All you need to do is flash it and let your device boot.

If you get stuck at any point post back with screen shots and detailed info.

I suggest you post your device's full build info before doing anything?

Will this work with the SM-T817A model? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] oferyuval:
I would like to root my SM-T818A

I searched all over the web and did not find any useful information about root and custom recovery for this device.

I am not an expert but have rooted / flashed custom recoveries / roms before.

Current version is: T818AUCU1APJ4

What is the procedure and what files should I use for T818A ?

(BTW: I couldn't even find the specs of 818A. You write "AKA T819" is it the same device ?)
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Bsober:
Really like to try this even though it seems the only one to try so far fried his tablet. I have a SM-T817V. Will it even supposedly work?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
Your tablet is completely different.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] julzee:
I have T818VVRU1APJ1. I'm working up the guts to root using your directions. I've rooted my note2, 3 & 4 before so understand the basics. I'm a little confused though. I thought I'd need twrp no? But you say there's no twrp for this model?

I've got to study the steps a bit more before I jump in. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Bsober:
My luck. Where do you get eng boot images? I'd love to get one for my tablet or make one if thats how it's done.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Limeybastard:
You guys sure the sm-t818 is similar to the sm-t819? The 819 has two variants that are incompatible, example I cant flash a sm-t819 on to my sm-t819Y variant as the two have different radios.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] drewlamo1:
anyone know where we can find stock full image for this? i currently have t818v but it has knox customization on it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Alpha1BA:
would this be compatible with a t819 lte?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Alg0rhyth3m':
I'm surprised no one has figured this out yet. I'd like to see it done, and I'd try it if I could find a stock image.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] freediverdude:
Yes i am thinking of trying this, I have a T818V with build T818VVRS1AQC1. I would like to get rid of that stupid boot animation with Verizon logo and stuff.

Ashyx have you made anymore headway with this? This is my only lte tablet option and its a great tablet, but id love to help contribute, am willing to test stuff for you.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] futurama140:
Ashyx: I have some interesting information and a baffling puzzle in regards to the 818v, but my story contains some essential and very sensitive information regarding the tablet's circumstances. May I PM you?

I have the 818v with BQE1 on it because the OTA upgrade to nougat was the only way to get around certain security features that I could find.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] evrkusd:
did you ever find the stock firmware for this one?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] burattino:
Yes. try updato dot com (can't post link because I have less then 10 posts)

but I haven't use it. Can't return my S2 if anything goes wrong unlike others...

Please post here your results if you can.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] devonmark:
I messed up like that other guy and flashed that boot image and I cant get it to boot back up. I downloaded that file but I dont know how to flash this on odin. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Alg0rhyth3m':
I think I may have the files somewhere to restore back to stock if you can't reboot.... Somewhere. I just got out of jail, but right before I went to jail, like a week before, I had bricked my device, and after 4 days of researching, I found the correct files to restore it back to function. But I'm having a difficult time finding the files on my laptop. Google was a blessing. If you can find the boot image, you need only start the tablet in Download mode and flash via Odin like you usually would. Make sure you have a full charge.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] dre2068:
Why is this so difficult?! SM-T818A

So I have an AT&T Galaxy S2 currently running Baseband Version: T818AUCS1AQD1 (6.01). I like another member in this form have been unable to find anything useful as far as rooting my device. I cant even get my tablet to update though the regular software update process. I no longer have a SIM card in this device as i purchased it on Craigslist (not sure if that makes a bit of diffrence. Everytime i try to update my software it tells me im up to date. I took it to AT&T and they told me to take it over to the samsung rep at best buy...what a joke. Anyways As of today it is missing two update,:mad:

1. Baseband: T818AUCU1BQE2

Build: NRD90M.T818AUCU1BQE2

And

2. T818AUCS1BQH1

All i really want to do is root this thing and get it updated. the only thing i have been able to find as far as firmwares are concerned are ones from Turkey. Im not the brightest bulb in the box but i'm thinking this is definitely not going to work. Everything else i have found does not include the "A" after the "SM-T818" so im very hesitant to try anything when i have minimal knowledge about this device because it is AT&T branded. At this point i know its a long shot as i know many people have moved on and this device isn't getting much attention it once did. I don't want to screw anything up so any information anyone can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] andyroidking:
From 1 dim bulb to another...lol... If there is an updated firmware (not the OTA) from Turkey you should be able to use it. I am still using the German update on my S2 SM-T810. You will just need to pick English when you run setup (make sure you know what to click on the first couple screens as they won't be English). Also I need to go into language settings after to change something, don't really remember what it was but it was important.

As always.... Try this forums advice at your own risk, always have a BACKUP and at least have copy of you current firmware to flash in case.

EDIT: BTW... You probably won't have LTE at all... Just saying they are more than likely not compatible networks.

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] elliwigy:
i might havefound away on t827v and t827r4 :)

still got kinks but the method is sound.. basically using my SamPWND root script that gets executed by an init script
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] elliwigy:
just a follow up but i got root shell.. fightin dm verity but almost there on T827V
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
Don't you have the eng boot from the combo firmware?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] elliwigy:
combo firmware is not ENG firmware.. if it worked i would already be fully rooted.. the combo firm hasdm verity enabled still..

my laptop also broke and wont turn on so i might be out for weeks unfortunately
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
I know it's not ENG firmware, but in my experience the boot image does not have dm-verity enabled otherwise how would we be able to use the boot.img with modified rooted system images?

Also no need to be so touchy, you're not talking to some idiot.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] elliwigy:
haha that was me normal bro.. just a pet peeve of mine is all when ppl refer to factory firm as eng.. no harm intended

i fixed my laptop but shortly after bricked my tabs3 lmao.. its completely dead

i managed to downgrade the BL but soon as i flashed the bl in odin it bricked even tho odin was successful.. y i did it i have no idea.. i set the swrev from 1 to 0 and there is a combo firm swrev0 so i flashed the bl only and killed it

attached is before n after.. the black bg pic is wat i get when using root to dd a custom aosp kernel built from source.. logssay theheader is incorrect.. you can see the swrev in both pics and cansee i changed from rev1 to rev0

to respond to the dm verity stuff yes, usually the combos have it disabled but for t827v dm verity is enabled preventing full boot once root script is ran.. luckily a full root shell isstill useable.. just need to find a way either around dmv or disable it
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
No worries, water under the bridge. I with you when people post incorrect nonsense, I sometimes get on my dev high horse, usually with noobs.

Seems like you did what I did to my Tab A last week.

Was messing with the bootloader and flashed an earlier revision of aboot. This killed it and ended up with dead boot.

I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't flash the matching sbl1 also.

Hopefully I'll get it backup and running at some point once I get the license sorted on my Riff box.

Regarding dm-verity, did you disable it in the actual kernel?

Also I'm intrigued as to how you managed to downgrade the bootloader version?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] elliwigy:
is ur tab A still down? mine wont even charge and pc doesnt recognize it.. basically 0 signs of life.. i did the same, only flashed the emmc appsboot file lol.. im trying to get it back up.. last i looked at the device before the flash it was below 8% battery.. i assume it was the bootloader bcuz soon as itsaid "pass" in odin is theinstant it died but im hopin its just a dead battery (not with my luck tho)

i downgraded the swrev first before flashed the rev0 bl in my scenario.. in fact only reason i tried it was when i noticed it haha... ive had a rev0 combo that doesnt seem special that i was wonderin y theyd have a rev0 and hoping that itd open up for more flashing in odin

i am not sure what did it to be honest haha.. i do have my backups and a list of partitions i messed with.. doesnt seem to be any other t827v users in here or else would b able to help me in testing n such lol
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
It's completely dead, no boot, no battery charge, no USB connection.

The problem is the SBL1 kick starts the aboot and in turn that boots the kernel.

The kernel needs to be able to boot for the device to charge as its the kernel that handles charging.

So no boot no charge.

The device will have some life but only accessible via Jtag. Its primary bootloader will still function.

However Samsungs recent devices seem to have Jtag disabled, so to resurrect the device you need to connect directly to the EMMC chip.

Riff box can do it but mine needs it's license renewing.

It's been a while since I've had to resurrect any dead boot devices.

If worse comes to worse you can buy a used motherboard to get it up and running again.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] elliwigy:
yea.. thing is, i should have edl mode but its not even going into edl lol.. but no need to worry on my end, i got through verizon and technically my warranty isstill intact lol will just have to wait for it in the mail
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ashyx:
I was also expecting EDL to kick in, but apparently not.

Probably another thing Samsung have disabled. It seems they really do not want anyone bypassing their security or messing with bootloaders.

Ah well at least I'm sure you'll have no worries under warranty.

No sympathy for Verizon, they shouldn't be so uptight and lock the Bootloaders on their(sorry our) devices.

Anyway seems like you made good progress, almost there. :svetius:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cclough101:
ok now im not sure how this could be possible, but what i did...

I broke a phone and asked a friend if he had a phone i could have.

He gave me a lgl52vl, with NO SIM that was stright talk, but says trackphone, i dunno

so i wasnt sure it would work. so i then start looking for a sim activation like ting was

ting was my last provider i requested a port from that was successful from what i found out spending hours on the phone after

i get my activation kit with Net10 Wireless BYOP

then it happened.

after activating it the first time, it worked, but then got locked or again im not sure. i had to call net10

then my friend calls that gave me the phone.

i didnt know but he said she ended up with a better phone so she kept the sim active and it was all good

but then he tells me how her number was changed and it became a net10 deal

he has never had net10 nor did i

so then i spend even more time with net10 attempting to fix the phones cuz

we live in different states, but somehow someway, my net10 account is active for both devices now..... wtf

id like that for my girl n i but not in this deal.

im not sure what i can do now after i bought the net10 deal and screwd both us cuz now our numbers have to be the same to keep both phones active

and it uses all my net10 resources nothing from her straight talk..

can anyone break this down for me so i dont make this mistake if it wont benefit me.

PLZ with much thanks!

Yes it will change but it doesn't really matter. I've had several different Android ID's and I haven't seen any negative affects from it.

A total newbie here........

so go easy "Geeks" otherwise i will give you a hard time when you need a question answered about "getting a life" !!!!!

This "screen turning off" during a call issue.

Now i have read many threads on this and other forums. And i have noted that for some..its not that easy and we feel a bit worried about screwing things up.

Is there not one simple way to do it . maybe a "stickie" just for this to allow a beginner the confidence to know that the info is 100% correct and the way to do it isnt going to cause a nightmare!!!!

I have yet to be confident about one members thread about it..due to such technical talk etc !

Thanks !

Did you try Kaiser tweak? There is an option to turn on/off this function.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snooginsguy:
Obviously, one thing to keep in mind is that the screen is designed to go off so you don't touch it with your face and inadvertently hit a button. But yeah, KaiserTweak would be the safest way (imo) to go about it.

And LNG's 7.1 omap4 repo is a red hot disaster. That's what I am trying to fix.

Thanks! Will investigate.
[Motorola Droid 4] Careless_:
then it shouldn't be hard for you to include a link to a main page for info about your ROM if it's so popular... or at least provide screenshots. I've been on this site since 2010... definitely not new to the ROM community- still haven't heard of your ROM. perhaps you're not as popular as you think.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
It all started with me flashing a new rom. Okay, i was vaguely knowing what i was doing and it went without any problems. After that i noticed it had come with magisk, so I checked out magisk as i had never used it before. Got myself the uninstall zip in case anything went sideways and installed a module, then rebooted. Bad idea. The module apparently wasn't compatible with my device or my installation or whatever , making my phone get stuck while booting (at the SAMSUNG symbol). Okay, that's really bad, but i do know that you can get into download mode from here, so that's what i did. And no, i can't boot into recovery mode. Tried to get there every step of the way and it just doesn't want to work. Even

adb reboot recovery

doesn't want to work, which is quite depressing.

Eventually got hold of a stock .tar.md5, tried to flash it, bam.
