OK I hope I'm doing something wrong, but I just flashed newest (3.3.1) over 3.2.2 and whilst I could browse the file structure before (to actually install the IMG file in the first place etc). But now I cannot browse any folder (the sdcard mount for internal storage .... Not using an SD card)

Any ideas?

Just moved from stock recovery to TWRP (in order to install LingeageOS). Thank you for the work of everyone putting effort into this piece of software!

But contrary to what I recall from various other devices using TWRP, I was not able to connect the device to a PC via USB and copy the images for further installation of LineageOS that way. Is that normal or specific to this device or TWRP build? Just curious as I was a bit surprised.

PLEASE IGNORE IT

HELP!

Tried for first time to install TWRP 3.3.1 in my 815Y and now stucked in downloading page!

I did an initial successful instalation of TWRP with ODIN but tablet was rebooting so I couldnt enter the TWRP menu.

When trying to enter the TWRP menu with power+vol up +home I was entering into SAMSUNG recovery menu

Then I did it for second time but with unchecked the "autoreboot" optionof ODIN.

Upon completion of the second flash of TWRP with ODIN the tabled is frozen at Downlaoding page

Any clue hot to revive the tablet? and install the TWRP finally?

T-710 TWRP 3.3.1-0 from official site has no mtp, adb or usb-otg. USB port not working. Didn't look to see if it was charging, have to boot back into it to check. Also layout seems confused. It's short and squatty in places and stretched in others. Terminal keyboard is just messed up with arrows in the wrong spot. Is it supposed to be this way? Theme change takes care of most of it but I prefer the original mostly. [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] I appreciate the the work you've put in across the different variants but ha e to ask, can you fix the adb and mtp?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] ripee:
What older version of TWRP are you coming from? Sounds like some old settings have been left over. In the /TWRP folder in internal storage, there is a hidden file called twrp that stores TWRP's setting. Delete it, flash 3.3.1-0 again, reboot into TWRP, then see if the layout is as it should be.

MTP, ADB, and OTG work for a lot of people on T710, as per the old adage that your mileage may vary, so please post logs.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] tek3195:
I had twrp-3.1.1-0 from ashyx on it before this one I believe. I had actually flashed a few different ones to it when I got it put together. I used to have a t713 but motherboard went bad and cost too much. Bought a t710 with shattered screen for 20 bucks and put whole mid-frame assembly in t713 case. So yeah, mileage will vary I'm sure, not expecting too much out of it. Pickled tink with having it working again for 20 bucks. Here's logs if you want to take a look.

Well maybe not. I'm getting android error retrieving files when I try to attach them. I'll get on computer and post them from there in a bit.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] tek3195:
Alright, finally got it by disabling documentsui and converting MiXplorer to /system/priv-app and changing ownership and permissions. This may have been a mistake but I'll find out soon enough. [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION] if you happen to see anything in logs as to why usb not working in recovery I would appreciate any advice on a solution. USB is totally dead in recovery, no charging, just dead. Works fine when booted to android.Thanks

Hello Guys

Can not download boot img on google drive. To many requests is the message? is there any other mirror to do this?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] mdurkin:
I've been struggling with my sm-t810 for a while. The only thing I can get it to boot is twrp 8.1.0-1_ashyx in recovery, or an older twrp recovery I found (2.8). I've tried flashing stock ROM from ODIN and it won't boot the ROM or go into recovery. Later twrp version will not boot into recovery.

Whilst in 8.1.0-1 I can't flash any ROMs as I get an error relating to device ID being called '.' so ROM flashes have all been from ODIN. I read this is fixed in later twrp, but I can't get a later TWRP to boot!

I tried flashing stock rom 7.0, followed by later twrp, followed by not rebooting, and rebooting using hardware keys and switching quickly from volume down to up to enter recovery. Honestly, I've read this whole thread back to front and tried everything :(

I'm just hoping someone might have been here and managed to find a way to get the device to boot again... help!!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] bmwdroid:
Did you use multiple part stock ROM for that might be better?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] mdurkin:
Where can I get the multiple part stock rom - I've been looking for that but can't find it anywhere? The one I'm using us one part.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] bmwdroid:
Use samfirm tool and activate the "binary nature" button.

This should give you latest stock in multiple parts at least after unzipping.

@ripee, yes, I'm sure others have it working, but there seems to be a corner case where it doesn't work for some reason. My tablet was running stock and I used heimdall to flash TWRP 3.3.1 first so it had Samsung's recovery on it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] geko1966:
Hi,

Great work on the TWRP for my old tablet!

So I wanted to give it new life, and I must admit, it´s been a while since I have been involved in here, so a bit rusty.

So I have this issue, cause I am not able to inject TWRP via Odin. Odin injects TWRP tar with green pass and all, but when I HOME-VOLUME UP-POWER but it only starts up the SAM recovery. 😥

I have not been able to find a solution for the OEM Unlock, as it is not visible, so I would guess that is perhaps the issue or on of them.

Could you do me a very very big favor and write the process installing TWRP?

My Tablet data:

SG Tab s2 T-815 LTE

Running stock Rom NEE Nougat but would like to give the Lineage latest release a go.

So I hope you can help me out here, cause as I stated above I am a bit rusty since I have not been active on xda for some years now.....been focusing on parenthood and work 😉

Cheers

G
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] bmwdroid:
You probably did everything as supposed to.

Had the same problem on my T810 as it has problems with the power button and therefore it was very hard to boot it up into TRWP directly right after flashing via Odin.

Had to try up to five times until it worked.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] shutdown-h_now:
Suggestion for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T-815 LTE (gts210ltexx):

Update your tablet's Stock-ROM to the latest build available from Samsung.

Download ChainFire's CF-Auto-Root for exactly this device and install it. This injects the now deprecated SuperSU.

When you are done and the tablet has started normally, install the official TWRP-App from https://twrp.me/app/ (somehow outdated) or Play Store and flash the TWRP-Image via this app. Then you can boot up to TWRP and flash the ROM, Open GApps etc. you like. This worked fine for this old device.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] manhart:
I have the same problem: SM-T810 with stock rom (Android 7.0). I could install and run TWRP 3.1.0-1 from here (Link). If i install a newer version of TWRP, the device does not enter into the recovery mode. The device is rooted with Magisk.

Any idea how to install a newer TWRP ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] ripee:
When going between stock recovery and twrp, you have to factory reset before you can boot whatever rom you have flashed, regardless if the rom is stock or custom.

Try factory resetting in stock recovery, then flash twrp -3.5.2_9-0-gts210wifi.tar in Odin. Once it finishes flashing and reboots, immediately use the button combination to force it to boot into TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] manhart:
This was the missing hint ! I restored the stock recovery, made the factory reset in the stock recovery, pushed with ODIN the last version of TWRP on the device and now TWRP is fine.

Thanks for the quick help !

Is it clean to reinstall TWRP 3.7.0 img using TWRP install menu that I already have on tablet?

Hello guys,

First of all, I want to say I'm a total noob at XDA and at android in general.

I tried to follow the tutorial but I somehow get stuck at Step 2 (TWRP with Odin)

I have a SM-T819 and I downloaded twrp-3.7.0_9-0-gts210ltexx.img.tar from the recommended website (https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs297ltexx2015.html).

I started the tablet, opened the Developper option. Since I wasn't able to find the Advanced rebbot (French version kinda suck and there was no approaching entry), I disabled security, activated debog mode and used the Power/Vol Down/Home then Vol Up to access the download mode.

(sorry for the picture of a screen, can't manage to find a way to screenshot this menu)

So far so good, I opened Odin, selected the downloaded .tar and pressed Start but somehow, it doesn't seems to work:

Step 3 (Power/Vol up/Home) does nothing. I can restart the tablet without any issue (I tried this 2 times with and without security option ticked). Pressing Start again simply double the same log again.

Do I need something else (BL/CP/whatever)? Am I stupid and doing things completely wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm in fact stupid and tried to connect with an unsupported micro-SD cable. Worked with the proper cable

The athena 6.1 ROM you found here is just a preview.

You have to learn:

1) How to SUPERCID your device (hardspl 3d)

2) How to flash a unofficial ROM (and Pro and Con of RealVGA, and language pack, look into the 3d)

3) At that time may be an unofficial WWE 6.1 ROM will be OUT :)

P.S. WWE means Worldwide English, I think there aren't unofficial ITALIAN Athena ROM

Flashing rom

I wouldn't advice you to do so. Cooking and flashing the rom is not so easy like cooking spaghetti. The worst that can happen is that if you are not careful you will brick your device and make it useless.

The best thing to do is not doing anything with it. Flashing the rom is serious business.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
Hi guys

I have been struggling with the screen on my phone and i want to know if its only me who is having the grainy screen or there are more people having the same issue. Any solid color on the phone appear to be noisy and dirty. People in google are persisting that this is one of the characteristics of the screen and is normal. I cant believe that.

I have had one RMA and the second XL is the same as the first one, first device was shipped from the factory on 31 October and the second one on 31 november.

Should i stop overlooking this issue and live with it or should i push for another RMA?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
Compared to my Note 8, the Pixel 2 XL is indeed grainy, however I found it's only noticeable on white/light gray backgrounds, and is hardly noticeable above 35% brightness. My friend's Pixel 2 XL is the same way so I assume this is "normal" for this phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
The display is a grainy piece of ****. Had 4 phones, all the same, all noticeable even at max brightness on white backgrounds. Makes the screen look like paper. Photos look noisier when viewed on the phone as a result too. If it bothers you, best move onto a new phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I've heard the reports of a grainy screen. I've seen 5 Pixel 2 XLs (3 in a Verizon store, mine and a co-workers) and none of them have been grainy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
That's a different news. There is also another fact that its not visible if you don't really look for it on my phone but when you see the grain there is no way back. That's when you would say ignorance is a bliss. Still i would like to hear more from others if there is noise (i rather call it noise) on the screen or not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
Thanks for your reply im more interested to look into differences in grain visibility on pixel 2 xl's, because i have read very uneven comparisons for the same device and none is consistent. Some say they see it some say they don't. I can see the grain in all situations with 20% brightness and also with 100%, if there are some cases which phones are grainless (if that's even a word) i would like to report this to google. In your case all of what you have seen are dirty AF. ( They call it dirty screen effect on tv's)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Bigmille:
I had 2 Pixel 2 XL over the last 3 weeks. 1st one did not have any noticeable grainy screen. Had to exchange for spontaneous reboots.

The 2nd Pixel I have now suffers from what you are describing, the graininess is notable from minimum to maximum brightness most pronounced on light grey and white backgrounds. In main setting menu, scrolling black text on white background such as websites and YouTube comments. In fact, this is noticeable to me on the 1st setup screen when you power on a new Pixel the 1st time. My looks like snowflake of old CRT screen, or using a matte screen protector. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to capture with any camera I have.

There are couple of long threads here you can search for grainy screen, and you will find few posts on it.

Check out Ars Technica's pictures of the grainy screen.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...view-the-best-android-phone-you-can-buy/2/#h3

Here is Erica Griffin from YouTube on the same issue (6:40):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JjbMT_x6CM&t=503s

Both of my Pixels was manufactured on 13/11/17, and they also have different degree where blue shift becomes apparent, so I think it is a pure luck if the next Pixel's screen you get might not have a grainy screen that you will notice.

At this point, from all my research it seems most screen of the Pixel 2 XL will have some imperfections compared to latest Samsung screens find in iPhone, Galaxy, OnePlus and the smaller Pixel 2. This is due to the immaturity of LG's OLED screen technology and the lack of any batch or individual screen calibration at the factory.

For me, the whole package of smooth UI and fastest security updates means I will overlook the Pixel's screen imperfection compared the my Galaxy S8+. But it does irk me for Google to charge similar price as Galaxy/Note and iPhone, when they know they can not provide a visual experience anywhere close to those phones. Even the OnePlus 5T I compared in store have a much better screen in terms of non-graininess, lack of pronounced blue shift and maximum brightness.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
This is a bummer. The grainyness on mine is faint, but definitely there. Kinda wish I hadn't noticed it but in all honesty I kinda wondered why some pics didn't look quite as good on my phone as they do on my wife's pixel 2. I made trade this for a pixel 2 and be done with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
Don't have this issue. I prefer gray wallpapers and I don't see this issue. I just tried looking at all white wallpapers and didn't see this issue either. Over on Android Central there seem to be a few people with this issue but the vast majority do not seem to have it and/or notice it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
I think for the majority it may be more about not noticing as opposed to not having the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pixelsquish:
Perhaps. I see it on a couple wallpapers here and there but it's rare - but I believe those are just not high rez enough for this screen. That graininess commonly happens when resolution of the image is lower than that of the screen it's being displayed on as far as I know.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
That is what i also think is happening because i tried to check how many would notice the grain on my phone this friday. The baits were my friends. And only one noticed it. The rest noticed after i told them what to look for.

It is really a shame for google to think they would be able to compete with pixel 2 xl in such a tough market with thus screen and the price tag. I had high hopes for this phone and i have waited for so long to buy a pixel.

Anyways i received an email from a high level supervisor in google's hardware department saying:

"I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you due to this. As I can see that the phone is working as intended and there is no issue with the device. In this case, we cannot process a replacement for the device. If you want, we can go ahead and check for the refund options of the device. "

Now i want to see what other phone you guys would think i can replace this with. I cant deal with Samsung's bloatware so no S8 or S8+ or note 8 please.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Hoshneer:
I notice it on white backgrounds but then I realized it's an overlay and it looks grainy because the screensaver shows through a bit on app drawers and such.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
I'm thinking of getting the Pixel 2, if I do decide to replace my 2 XL. It really is a fantastic phone other than the screen. Right now I'm trying to decide how's much the screen bothers me.
