Does this work on China version firmware? I flashed that region and while in fast boot and in settings theres no mention of OEM lock anywhere so i assume the bootloader is always locked. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
There is no Fastboot mode on Samsung devices.

You need CROM service.apk to unlock Chinese devices.

OTG doesn't work with TWRP installed. After its removal without any other changes, OTG works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
I highly doubt twrp is directly affecting anything to do with the OS.

They are completely independent of each other.

It may be a driver issue. Check device manager and do a hardware scan with an otg device connected.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:
can that be its the bootloader patch ? I made this test and OTG is working when its all flashed from "0" , but something breacks this after flashing TWRP and bootloader , like i say the integrated "mount OTG" from TWRP isnt working also not , the only thing what is working is connect to PC , no other OTG things works only when its Flashed to Stockfrimware ...

I had the same problem with otg-usb not working. I'm not sure if it was because I froze a number of things with TiBu. But I used [MENTION=2320544]rorymc928[/MENTION] rom and it's working now when booted into system. Maybe he has some insight. It's still not working in twrp though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:
Strage what can that be at the end ? I have the firmware BRJ1 stock , and with disablet app or without the OTG dosent work, I made a "0" stock flash and all was working , but directly after Flashing something its brocken somehow ... I am not a developer , but when TWRP have nothing to do with it ... maybe bootloader patch ... no idea ... maybe i should take a look to this rorymc928 rom ... but what he could have done so it works there ? ... its not so importent to me in TWRP works the OTG buut in system would be realy nice :D

When you say it stops working after flashing bootloader patch. Which particular patch are you referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:
Hello ! :)

i used only the patches and things from here in your rooting manual :)

it is this one from here : T825XXU1BRE2_dmverity_patched_boot

and then the : Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler

these both are from the Oreo section ...

Greetings

Nonny
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
It is probably the patched boot that is causing the issue.

It seems otg isn't included by default in the defconfig.

As long as you install the latest magisk immediately after booting to twrp you probably won't need the patched boot image.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:
Now i remember , that was one of my questions ! With magisk there was no need to patch the boot image , i belive i read this somewhere , so then i will try like this :

1. Flash back all to "0" BRJ1 firmware ... with ODIN

2. Flash twrp_3.2.1-1_T825_29518 with ODIN

3. boot Directly into Recovery TWRP

4. Flash Magisk (v. 18) right now

5a. Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler <--- i need this one ???

5b. Format DATA using the *FORMAT DATA button* under the wipe options

6. DONE ? stock ROM with TWRP Rooted ?

Is that correckt i will try this like this then , but do i need the point 5a too ?

Greetings

Nonny
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
Initially the patched boot was needed, but with the latest magisk update it is able to patch the boot image.

It should be able to patch encryption too, but it wouldnt hurt to flash the disabler too. You could try without and report the current state of play?

Anyway your method above should work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jonsu1517:
Just started from scratch but left out the boot.img flash. OTG is now working, thanks everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
Did you use the encryption disabler?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:
THAT would be an interesting answer i would like to know also :D ! ok i will give it a try then i will try without the encryption disabler first an see how it goes if it dosen work then with the disabler ... i will report later on how it goes ! :)

Greetings Nonny
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jonsu1517:
Yes I used the encryption disabler, no issues with it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
Does it work without it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Jonsu1517:
Haven't tested it without, could someone else try?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:
Well , i have not found anything about the disable forced encription by Magisk root ... the boot patch ok that one is writen in some manuals and posts , yes , but encryption not , i will do with the encription disabler then ... because when this is now finaly working i am finaly done :D juhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :D :D :D !!! --- i will start soon !

Thanks !

Nonny

EDIT: HEY i belive something went "strange" with my Tablett i flashed the encryption disabler , but i belive it didnt work out ! so at first start it says in Magisk 18 its not installed so i restartet because it also not flashed from the Magisk app itself after reboot it worked BUT now i have the "Hook" in KEEP FORCED ENCRYPTION , THAT i didnt had before so then maybe there is no need to install the disabler ????
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Marton1:
I think I lost root because of upgrade to Magisk 18. So I installed backup with 17.x and everything was fine again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jd1639:
18 worked fine for me. I let the magisk app update from 17.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Reneval:
I can confirm, that it isn't only OTG which is not working with the patched boot. img

TitaniumBackup is not working at all, too. Cannot uninstall and install Apps correctly.

(On debloated Rom all is working).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nonny_SA:
Hello ,

for the flashing methode i was thinking would work i belive i confused the order of the way how to flash it "corecktly"

I wrote :

1. Flash back all to "0" BRJ1 firmware ... with ODIN

2. Flash twrp_3.2.1-1_T825_29518 with ODIN

3. boot Directly into Recovery TWRP

4. Flash Magisk (v. 18) right now

5a. Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler <--- i need this one ???

5b. Format DATA using the *FORMAT DATA button* under the wipe options <--- THIS should go in the point 3 and 4 !!

BUT i belive coreckt would be :

1. Flash back all to "0" BRJ1 firmware ... with ODIN

2. Flash twrp_3.2.1-1_T825_29518 with ODIN

3. boot Directly into Recovery TWRP

4. Format DATA using the *FORMAT DATA button* under the wipe options <--- better i belive!

5. Flash Magisk (v. 18) right now

5a. Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler <--- not needed anymore

I belive this should be the coreckt way , maybe someone who anyway set up ""fresh" his / her tablett could confirn this ?

Greeting and happy X-Mas

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] klaberte:
I am trying now, and found that I could not move Magisk onto the tablet to install without first formatting data. Then I was able to move Magisk onto the main storage of the tablet, then install it without issue, then rebooted. So that is one vote for formatting data before flashing Magisk. [Perhaps if I had found a way to get Magisk moved to the SD card before flashing, it would not have been necessary. ]

Note I did not run the oreo forced encryption disabler. How do I tell if this is necessary?

I'll keep experimenting....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] klaberte:
How could you tell if it works "without [oreo forced encryption disabler]"? Is there some immediate symptom, e.g. cannot boot into system or twrp? Or might it work for a while but cause issues later?

Similarly, why do you say to install magisk immediately after booting into TWRP? It remains unclear why the order of wiping the data, installing Magisk, and installing the encryption disabler should matter. Any insights or advice?

[fyi, I am trying a couple of different orders, but haven't seen any particular differences, but am not spending a lot of time using the tablet between tries]
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
Without patching encryption the device will re-encrypt the data partition at first boot to the OS.

Data needs to be formatted first so magisk can install properly.

Magisk also patches several key files to allow the device to boot properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] klaberte:
Hey, thanks for responding so quickly!!!

But we are still unsure whether or not magisk v18 avoid the need of installing the forced encryption disabler, right?

If the device would "re-encrypt the data partition at first boot of the OS", what is the clearest way to determine if this happened?

In other words, if you

i. install TWRP with odin

ii. boot directly into TWRP

iii. format data

iv. install magisk

v. do not use the forced encryption disabler, but just reboot into the system

is it possible that successive reboots to the system, the user would be unaware if the data partition is encrypted? Would root still work? Would it only be possible to confirm whether the data partition was encrypted by going back into TWRP and trying to mount the data partition?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
To confirm whether the patch is needed or not simply format the data partition, ensure it mounts, install magisk and then boot to the OS.

Reboot to twrp. If data is still mountable the patch isn't needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
You don't need to access recovery to obtain the file, just use a root explorer.

Are you using a proper root explorer? There's got to be something even if it's just another folder or file.

I'm guessing ODIN wiped it, damn you ODIN. :mad:

So let me get something straight. You flash twrp and even if you don't boot to it, but boot to system it still tries to boot to recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jonathonalexander:
It simply boots to the picture I sent early. the black screen with blue and yellow text before normally would TWRP load - it's justs get stuck at that point, even just a normal reset and it still attempts to boot to recovery

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

so basically, yes, in answer to your question
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
While it's booted to the black screen do you have ADB access.

After a few minutes do you get a response to:

adb devices
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jonathonalexander:
It seems that I do not
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
Is your device using encryption or is it disabled? Did you ensure to FORMAT the DATA partition and flash no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx after the firmware upgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jonathonalexander:
I can't do that, because I can't access TWRP after the upgrade. I can downgrade to the original firmware and everything works just fine.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

Btw this time I cleaned flashed the newest firmware. Perhaps I could do that if I download the original and update through the software update system, with TWRP already installed

is that worth a try? --.////

Wait that won't work, I remember now it doesn't allow updates with a custom recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
Samsung seem to be upping the game regarding security. Just lately devices that have encryption enabled fail to boot if non official firmware such as recovery is installed. It seems an integrity check is being performed at boot.

To prevent this you would need to downgrade, install twrp, FORMAT DATA, install SuperSU and no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx, then install the firmware with FLASHFIRE.

FLASHFIRE will allow you to unselect the boot.img and recovery.img before flashing.

This should prevent the device from becoming re-encrypted and hopefully TWRP will boot.

I may be off base with this, but without someone testing it out we're not going to know.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] klaberte:
Using this test, I can confirm that the oreo encryption disabler is needed. So, after installing and then booting into TWRP, you should

1. Format (not wipe) data

2. Install Magisk

3. Install oreo encryption disabler

4. Reboot into system and done

Dear all, I managed to install and root the most recent firmware, that I have mentioned in a previous message of mine. I have noticed two issues that I present, so that if someone knows a solution to tell us, since they are very annoying.

1) I have noticed that all wifi passwords are encrypted in a hexadecimal format, or something like that. I followed all kinds of suggestions that I have found on xda forums. For example I added the following two lines in buildprop:

ro.securestorage.support=false

ro.securestorage.knox=false

etc.. No solution. Any suggestion?

2) When I installed xposed for Oreo, many applications, including google play services keep crashing randomly. It must be an xposed thing, because as soon as I deactivate xposed, the problem stops right away. Again does anybody have any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
The solution to both issues is in the Magisk module repo.

Install the secure storage patched libs module to fix wifi/Bluetooth passwords.

Magisk also has its own Xposed module, there is no need to install a 3rd party xposed zip.

Both these modules can be found in the download section of Magisk manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] xpil:
Regarding xposed, the magisk xposed module is the one I have used and created the problems with the various crash incidents.

Regarding the first one I did not find which module to use. Could you name it? The issue is that the passwords are stored in /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml and they are encrypted in a hex format. So you cannot share them with others easily.....

Hello! I've followed all steps, for installing TWRP on T820 Oreo (8.0) but not installing Magisk (I want to use Chainfire SuperSU).

Either using or not "Oreo encryption disabler" I'm getting in a boot loop only flashing TWRP and just rebooting it.

Some info regard that problem?

I have also two unknow zip files ("no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx" and "T820XXU1BRE2_dmverity_patched_boot"). I don't know if is for Nougat or Oreo or if is replaced by the newer "Tabs3_oreo_forced+encryption_disabler"

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
For oreo you need magisk, simple as, which is why your getting the boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Frunktz:
Oh well, so no way to use SuperSU? With Magisk I remember that I cannot remove systemapp (or bloatware) in a easy way with apps like SDMaid
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ashyx:
Plenty apps can do that.

System app remover (root) for one. Titanium backup is another. Even good ol' twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Frunktz:
What? System app remover (root) can "delete" apps with Magisk? It just create a blank symlink I suppose.

Now I'm try to use that apps.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S.A.aquaman:
I did the whole process but something was wrong with the format. When the TWRP starts the internal memory tells me 0. I flash magisk and after I go to do format. But then I go to check the internal memory and it's not 0. I do install and encript Oreo. But eventually I don't have the root. Can I Use the 3.2.1-1 of twrp? This is the solution to my problem??

Yes, use 3.2.1-1
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S.A.aquaman:

In twrp, go to Wipe. You will see format data. You need to do that or magisk will not work.
