[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] capriorn1971ad:
you had said previosly to put it on a sd card, i can do that real quick, the rest should only take me a minute to accomplish, I guess I will flash TWRP right now while i wait for you, before I do that I will put magisk.zip on the sd card so from there it will be ready to go, if i hear from you in 30 minutes or so then i should have the other done already.

about to begin, wish me luck.

do i need to extract the zip beforehand or just throw the zip on there? i extracted it already, i can grab it again, i guess i will do both for convenience and speed.

hmm, says it cannot be placed in adoptable storage, this device is one of those..

I should kill the wifi on this device before i do this I think, in case.

paranoia? lol.

seems to be sticking at :

shutting off usb debugging and tryign again with only oem unlock and dev options checked.

wonder if a 2 amp cord (S7) and a micro to c adapter would produce different results..

3 fails already.

device not recognized.. no go..

handy for charging and carrying less cables with me but not for file transfer, is one of these:

unsure how to proceed from here.

whatever i do it will obviously be with original cable, which is what i used the first attempts.

at least it isn't bricked.. is as if i did nothing.

edit:

the OEM unlock is missing again..

i rebooted a few minutes ago, it was there previous..

rebooting the tablet and connecting to wifi to try to force OEM unlock again.

bootloader unlocked again.. fifth attempt.

figuring that out about the time and date works really fast, convenient, i am unchecking detact automatically and then rechecking it while connected and it is coming up instantly.

6 fails..

downgrade odin?

any ideas?

stuck in download mode, bricked i think..

made it out, retrying again, i think i found whats wrong.

so much for thinking:

I will assume the 11 at the end of the ID means it is with a void warranty even though unrooted.

seems to work fine though..
