If anyone is willing to help I'll be a tester

Thanks in advance !

PS : The only Nougat Rom that works with my phone is Destructosphere's LineageOS 14.1 Build , so you kight wanna start from there
[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] da.fallen:
I'm waiting too.... hope they will fix these problems for Y6 SCC series.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] knipp21:
Does BBS or wakelock detector not work with Android O? After giving the app root permissions and letting the phone sit for a few hours, it isn't finding any partial wakelock data.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nisavid:
BetterBatteryStats 2.3 (beta, currently 2.3-109) works for me on my Pixel XL (on Fi) running OPR1.170623.026, rooted with Magisk. It's said to not require systemization anymore, but I have it systemized anyway (systemlessly, with Magisk, via Terminal App Systemizer and Privileged Permission Whitelist). For full effect, it requires doze whitelisting, as it always did. As far as I can tell, SELinux Enforcing mode is said/suspected to interfere with some BBS stats, so I'm using the SELinux Permissive Script (Magisk module) until/unless I find out otherwise. The BetterBatteryStats forum thread is very active and contains loads of info related to troubleshooting and making use of the data.

BetterBatteryStats 2.2.2.0 doesn't work. I believe this is (at least in part) because it can't handle the large size of the battery info packets that it is fed by the system's battery info service.

Wakelock Detector Full 2.0.4 doesn't work for me. I've tried setting it up essentially the same way as BBS (altering its privileged app permissions to suit it). It recognizes that it's a system app, but its stat pages are all blank and a toast that says:

Its forum thread is much less active and contains no mention of Oreo.

I need to know the refresh rate of the video that I am currently playing. Can an option be added to show the frame rate of said video in real time?

We will forward your request to our developer team for further review.

Isn't there a way to do with developer options?

Can you specify the exact usage/application of your request in detail?

It will be help us to understand your request better.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] snovvman:
Not surprised and didn't expect it to work. There is also no OEM Unlock under Developer Options. I presume the bootloader is locked but haven't verified.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] caizida123:
same as me

mine is T827 AS well , I can not flash it with any ROM except the original from the carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iriman:
Yeah, have the US Cellular version sm-t827r4 with the exact same issue. Have had it since launch and have been hoping they'd enable the unlocker by now. Good luck!:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
I don't think anyone's even working on it. I have one too, and would love to see root, but I'm not a developer-wouldn't even know where to start. I also have a VZW Note 8 which has been rooted by the same methods that worked on the VZW S8. I believe that a variant on that method could work for our Tab S3s as well, but again, no clue how to begin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
well, i just picked up atab s3 from vzw so ill b looking into it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
Hey, even if it doesn't make it, isn't it great to have a powerful tab that can do HDR video and also has 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
just need a combo firm.. the one on gsm firmware sayin cant find it when i try to buy it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
Well some progress today... I got the OEM lock switch flipped so both the prop values are set to 1:

[ro.oem_unlock_supported]: [1]

[sys.oem_unlock_allowed]: [1]

Somehow I also managed these to get set:

[ro.boot.verifiedbootstate]: [orange]

[ro.boot.flash.locked]: [0]

I am still trying to figure this one out:

[ro.boot.other.locked]: [1]

If someone who has a T825 or other tablet that is unlocked on stock can pull those prop values for me and let me know if I am on the right track then that would be great... I am still having trouble flashing anything customer in ODIN but with orange boot state I feel soon as we can get the img onto the device it should in theory boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yliria:
Slowly learning root processes. Where is this build prop located and I'll check mine.

Never mind. I'm a dingbat. I have the wrong model. I tried!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sam Sung:
Thanks for your efforts, ellwigy. If there's anything a novice can do to help with the process, let us know.

Also (to anyone): I think I can install a custom recovery (i.e., TWRP) even though unrooted so that a backup image of the device can be made? Is there a TWRP and guide for doing so? - Thx for any info!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
If you figure this out, think something similar would work for VZ tab s2?

I just got my T820 and rooted it. I'll pull those values when I get home.

Also if you want, I'm that guy from the Note 8 root group Ali on Telegram so you can also contact me there if you need anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:

Let's all just sit back and cross our fingers. If anyone can get that sucker cracked open, I'm sure it's Ellwigy. I've seen the magic they've done elsewhere on this site. I personally can't wait to stick a finger up at VZW and root mine.

have you find a solution to use another carrier like T-mobile?

how to proceed ? because I'm struggling on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrblaga:
T827V

SO is this going to happen? :/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dragon_76:
I have my Verizon Tab S3 running on AT&T with LTE. You have to use a Verizon SIM to register the device (any SIM, even unprovisioned), then you just make sure all the right information for your carrier is input in the cellular connection page.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kabascolby:
cool I'll try today and give you the feedback thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vaderyeh:
I tried. Even though Odin says passed, it keeps booting into stock recovery. No go unless we can unlock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
Odin doesn't reject it? That's surprising.

You need to disable auto-reboot when flashing then immediately manually boot to recovery for twrp to stick otherwise it will be replaced with stock recovery at every boot.

However id be surprised if it actually boots.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vaderyeh:
That's exactly what I did. I unticked that in Odin and tried a few times... still no dice. I was thinking about trying to use "SM-T827" Turkey firmware. Wanted to see if it would take in Odin. If it did and booted maybe I would have an OEM unlock option. I haven't ever done that before but it seems that elliwigy didn't find nearly the roadblocks as they found with the S8+... other than bricking his tab s3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yliria:
Have we made any progress? Having no root for my tablet or my s9+ is killing me. Hopefully, the powers that be are close to a breakthrough.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] USAMac:
Hey elliwigy, just wondering if you were able to make any progress after ashyx's referenced suggestion? I'm sure you are a busy person, but figured I'd ask since it's been a couple months since your last post here. tia

Galaxy S3 settings for use on ATT

I'm trying to do the exact same thing: use a Verizon tablet in the ATT network, I even got a supposedly provisiobed SIM card from ATT. I can't maintain a LTE connection. Could you reply with the proper network settings that you us.e? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dragon_76:
I’m assuming your tablet is already registered. You have to use a Verizon SIM (even one that’s unprovisioned) to register the tablet, then you can use a different LTE provider.

FYI: Verizon updated the Tab S3 to Oreo and I get better data speeds now. You don’t have to have a Verizon SIM installed to get the OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
anyone with a T827V that wants to help figure out full root PM me for tgram or hangouts info... (i prefer tgram as we could make a group)

preferrably users who know their way around adb and odin (more experience the better)

also recommended u have a warranty still and/or insurance...

i have a root shell but no longer have a tab s3 to continue testing..

active users preferred
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
PM'd!

EDIT...Nevermind. Its a vz tab s2!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
Does it matter which version of Android? I held off on the OTA for the longest time, and a few weeks back in a moment of extreme weakness I buckled and updated to Oreo.

I don't have insurance or a warranty, but don't mind taking some risk. My tablet is more for fun - nothing critical or work related - and have rooted every Android device I've owned since the Galaxy S2 phone.

Not a dev, but I know my way around ADB and Odin fairly well (well enough to root my current VZW Note 8 and root / BL my previous Note 4)

You didn't lose your Tab S3 by trying to get this to work, did you?

I attached my current build info...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
build doesnt matter since oreo is still rev1
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] crimsonsin:
Tgram group created, pm me or Elli for details. Let's get to work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i bricked 2 lol i went extreme tho n was goin for bl unlock.. after 3 replacements i sent back to verizon and they wiped out my contract lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
What a cool way of getting out of your contract!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yep.. i changed boot state to orange and set rev to 0 anddowngraded after rooting it each time with warranty still intact lol

at least it was still good last i checked.. it stopped booting up tho so mightve been tripped..

im 99% sure they couldnt even turn it on to check lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vaderyeh:
I am game! Let me know what you need me to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
hate to say this but sammy finally reached out today and theyve assigned my exploit a high severity rating and are working on apatch lol

so i cannot release it yet until i get the clear (and hopefully a reward)

good thing is, oreo build is still rev1 so u can easily use my method once im able to release it.. just be weary of updating if it popsup bcuz its probably the patch lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
heres a cropped img of the email
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
Was that sent to you and how are they aware of the vulnerability?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yes.. it was sent to me.. been goin back n forth with em a while now.. i submitted a report on it.. they have a rewards program.. theres some requirements such as certain devices, cant use leaked firmware etc. (must be legit exploits) which they pay between 200$ to 200k depending on severity and impact etc.

i honestly was going to post it but at the time i seemed to b the only one with a t827v and the only one workin on root so i figured y not try n make some $$ off sammy lol.. plus i got rid of the tab s3..

hadnt heard from em in over amonth so i was gonna say screw it but of course soon as i posted in here they responded lmao

i signed an agreement anyways saying i wont release publicly until its patched..

its a high severity (second from top which is critical) for excessive priveleges..

pretty much pwnd it lol.. during my testing i rooted, semi unlocked bl, changed rev to 0 and downgraded to rev0 all without tripping knox lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vaderyeh:
If it pays the bills go for it. Exploits are nice but the reality of a security risk is a real concern. They should make away to allow customers to unlock their devices with a legit bootloader unlock program.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] USAMac:
I agree, I just don't understand the drawbacks in a manufacturer restricting root access. If security is maintained, why not unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] USAMac:
First I've heard a manufacturer offering reward incentives for exposing weaknesses in their systems. Pretty cool really definitely makes a lot of sense. Anyhow, any idea or other examples of how long these types of situations tend to get resolved? Was super excited to see you were gonna be releasing soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its been goin on a while already lol most companies offer some type of rewards program including google.

I am not sure about the time frame, its been submitted probably 2 months now but seems to be slow moving.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] br0adband:
Question: If this turns out to work for the Verizon variant meaning if an exploit that's found allows for rooting that specific variant, could there be a possibility of it being ported over to the US Cellular variant (SM-T827R4) ?

I found a nearly mint condition T827R4 on craigslist a few days ago and considered buying it (for $100), the previous owner or at least the person selling it said it was missing the SIM card tray which like $10-15 on eBay so not relevant. They didn't say if it had been reset, was FRP locked, or any other info so far. Apparently it's a "Mom" whose son stiffed her on some bills or something and she decided enough was enough - she bought the Tab S3 for him like 6 months ago from US Cellular direct and basically took possession of it one day when he was out with friends along with a lot of other stuff she'd bought for him.

Now she's dumping it and the other items super cheap just to get rid of 'em so that means there's a good chance it's still technically under contract with US Cellular, might have been reset and is FRP locked, etc, I don't know. I'm hoping to meet with her later today or tomorrow to give it a look but for the price I might grab it regardless.

I'm just starting to do research into this Tab S3 device so I'm sorta new to these devices, never messed with Samsung tablets in the past so, if it works out, great, if not, there's plenty of others. :)

Thanks for any info, it's appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
Woke up this morning to a notice on my tab that there is an update waiting. Not only that, but I can only defer installation nine more times. I suppose after number eight I will simply turn off data and wifi and power it off and cross my fingers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
Did you get your "bounty" from them? VZW is rolling out an update...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
frp easily bypassed with combo firm.. also I believe us cellular devices are similar to verizon as in unlocked already so should be able to use on other carriers (probably just not on us cellular once its black listed)

either way wifi will always work and 100$ is a steal considering verizon is over 600$ new
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
what is the build number and is it rev2? itmost likely patches the exploit i found that is not released yet..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
not yet.. what is the build info for the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
How do I find out without actually taking it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] USAMac:
I also havee gotten this update notification trying to force me to update today. I was able to get around it by clicking away on another notification for gmail. Hope this helps anyone else!

elliwigy, I'll be happy to grab the build number if you think you could guide me on how to get it without accepting the update..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
Here is the Update Version Number

R16NW.T827VVRS2BRG2

Android Security Patch Level 2018-07-01
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i didnt see anything specific to my exploit on the August security bulletin but doesnt mean its not patched in this update..

with that being said, the update is incremented to rev2 which would prevent downgrade so if u plan to root once im able to release publicly id recommend not taking the update..

I did advise how to patch it as well as recommended they increment the rev to prevent downgrading to an exploitable firmware so its possible they listened lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
They are making it difficult not to take the update. I can put it off a total of nine times. The reminder box stays on top of everything and cannot be dismissed without either me taking the update or giving it a time to remind me again. It increments each time. I did stall it once already by doing a full wipe which I was planning on doing anyway, but doing it every nine days would suck. But if that's what is needed, so be it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
use adb and disable the update apk lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
I can do that without root?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lmao yea.....

adb shell pm disable --user 0 PACKAGE.NAME

should do the trick.. replace PACKAGE.NAME with name of the update apk of course
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
Thank you sir! I will dig around and figure out what the auto update apk name is...

Once the exploit has been released then a root solution still has to be developed, correct?

And again, thanks for everything!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea, sammy takes foreverrr...

but i had a root shell among other stuff so should be easy from there..

i actually got a tab s4 currently lool.. its def patched on the newer tab
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
How would you compare the S4 to the S3? Is it noticeably more powerful?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] USAMac:
Did you miss my comment? Just click away on another notification after you scroll from the top.. works for me every day.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:

I was able to downgrade to 6.0.1, and i have enable oem unlock checked....any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dan Miller:
I managed to stop the update prompts. So I don't have to worry about how long it will take for Sammy to take care of you. As long as that exploit will get me root, I'm fine with having first gen Oreo.

Thanks again for your work, and patiently waiting...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] -logik-:
Just received a T827v and was playing with combination file. On first boot with combo file, the OEM Unlock became active. Unfortunately, it has been a while since I have noodled around with a Sammy device. Of course I didnt know about RMM timer and the unlock became inactive. If OEM Unlock is active, is it possible to flash BL? Has anyone seen this and tried flashing while active? I am assuming someone has, but ya never know and thought I would ask... Searching around, I hadnt noticed anyone talking about this.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
You can flash stock firmware regardless of what state it is in. Only custom software is affected.

I know it's bad form to ask, but it has been several months and I know this was already low on your priority list. Or maybe I missed something. Did you ever release your exploit? I have stopped any upgrade requests, but if it isn't going to happen, then I might consider wiping, starting fresh and just dealing with a :( no-root device for the first time.

Again, thanks for everything you do here and have done in the past.
