All good mate wasnt takin it like anything just trying to help,

What you'll need to do with the patch is flash that in TWRP,

So after you've flashed TWRP and you've booted it to TWRP, DONT swipe to allow modification tap the button above, now plug your device back in to the computer you wont need Odin or anything it should now install and come up with the storage automatically, if not see below about formatting the data partition,

Copy the patch to the tab storage from computer, then on the tab after patch is copied tap the last icon on bottom right to see if there is red writing saying that data is not mounted, if so you need to format the data partition, in the main TWRP screen tap WIPE tab then tap the FORMAT tab then type YES after everything is done wipe dalvik now reboot the recovery by going back to main screen and selecting REBOOT then select REBOOT RECOVERY, dont install TWRP app if prompted to,

TWRP Recovery will now reboot now you can tap install tab then navigate to the patch file you copied, select and install and patch is completed, then flash your magisk or SU.zip if you have the red writing as explained before above or you can read the OP=original post on page 1 also to format

Wipe dalvik again after install and everything should be ok to reboot and you will have rooted T380 with TWRP installed,

Hope that helps mate,

Thanks

it makes alot more sense now yes, so yes it has.

so the camera wont work after rooting? will the SDCards still be hotswappable?

I have a library of movies scattered across 10x200 GB and 4x400 GB sdcards.

most people don't realise this tablet works like that i think, is a nice ability, woudl hate losing it, makes it into a fantastic little VCR type device using casting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Matty1993:
You shouldn't have absolutely any issue with the camera whatsoever, and as for the SD cards I believe from when I read OP it was only an SD card naming issue, but which has now been resolved,

I would suggest to use magisk for root however as has the modules for magisk hide, some apps need this after root or they will not run or you'll get the annoying your device is rooted message when opening them,

Also If you use secure folder as soon as you flash TWRP your warranty void will go to 0×30c or 0×500b rendering your Knox warranty invalid, secure folder and anything to do with Knox security systems will be rendered useless as they are controlled by the efuse (warranty void) just in case your un aware of that also.

Thanks

I don't think it will affect most of my software actually, i have alot of games on my tablet, some have DLC which wont run if i am unconnected from the internet though, which it should, but something about this particular tablet does this, i am trying to circumvent that as well as be able to back up and restore personal data (I bought titanium backup already and have it in my account waiting).

lately google has been taking software from my account, paid software, and there is nothing that can be done about it, besides downloading it online and installing it on a rooted device, that was the lat straw really.

I actually have 2 of these tablets, one is brand new (the one i am going to root) though it came in a openbox ($155 from bestbuy, so i saved just under 25% on it). I wish to have one rooted and one stock. If things go well with the rooted one in time i may do both, but for now one is good. Whatever I can't do on a rooted tablet I will have a stock one for, but if titanium backup works as well as it is said to work I figure it won't be long till i prefer the rooted one.

I have a sister with children at home, and she doesn't have much, so every now and again I like to send them a tablet for the kids to tear up and all, so long as I don't brick it it will be easy to find it a home there. Best case scenario, if i can figure out rooting this tablet and setting it up right the way i want it, and getting the restoration setup to autoinstall the same way (with root and all) then it would be a great thing for them. These tablets will be replaced with a new model soon, the cases are already about impossible to find (the actual samsung case that is) 155$ for one isn't bad really (usually $199).

what software other than titanium backup would you consider a staple on a rooted device?

whatelse should i look into?

Hello may i ask i have t380 so what should i do install modified kernel and then install magisk ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] joeyw007:
The only way I was able to establish a stable systemless root on my T380 was on any build of android 8.1.0 NOT 9, use the instructions at the beginning of this thread to install TWRP, Install Magisk any version works from 18 on, Install encryption patch. Then once up and running load Busybox module through Magisk. Stable root. Follow instructions to the letter at the beginning of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Follow the instructions in the OP then after step 5 install the patched boot image then install Magisk.

Please report how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ahmad_chatila:

Ok, tried this tonight. Thinking I messed up. I flashed twrp, rebooted into twrp and then formatted data. I went to install magisk and for some reason, twrp was not seeing my OTG card as what it was. I tried un-mounting and re-mounting the OTG to no avail. So I rebooted recovery, not system. I rebooted right back into twrp. Twrp then saw my OTG and I installed Magisk v20.1 and the RMM file as well. The tablet does seem a bit slower. I then went to flash the modified kernel(that is for pie right?) and when I rebooted to twrp, I could not mount data or microsd. I could not even mount my OTG. I am going to reflash the stock firmware and start over. I am guessing that the decryption didn't take. Nor did root it seems. Just to make sure I am doing this right(this is my first samsung device)

Odin flash TWRP in the AP slot

reboot into TWRP and format data

Install modified kernel

Install Magisk

Install RMM zip

reboot to system

This is of course with wiping dalvik and cache inbetween each install.

That is my understanding of the process after reading all 59 pages. I am in the process of flashing all the stock firmware right now. May try again later tonight
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
Did you install the decryption patch?

Magisk of any version does not disable encryption on our model ...

And this

Install RMM zip

no need to do, it does not work ...

The patch is here:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] DessertArbiter:
does the patched boot image have encryption disabled? i flashed the encryption disabler separately and it still booted but im not sure if doing that was required
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
You need to install Magisk.zip to disable kernel protection, then there will be no bootloop and the device will boot :)

P.S. Magisk does not disable memory encryption, so you need to apply the patch, otherwise after a reboot the memory is encrypted and TWRP will not have access to it.

2017 Tab A with TWRP and Magisk installed. I keep getting an annoying 'unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes' notification. I need to disable the security scan. Anybody know how?

Thanks

Figured it out. Security scan is now disabled, but I keep having the same warning. Security is deactivated. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Just disable securitylogagent. There is an app on play that can do it for you.

Hi, I am very confused so thought that I would ask here. Is there a custom ROM (LOS or similar, official or unofficial) on a SM T-380 that is rooted? My search queries all take me T-580/550 or T-585 but not to a T-380. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Roms do not come rooted any more or shouldn't do.

It is not good practice to include root in a custom rom as it can cause many issues.

Also the developer of Magisk forbids it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] aarem:
Sorry, I was not clear. My question is, if there is a LineageOS or some other similar Android ROM for the SM T-380? All my searches end up in threads on T-550/580 and in T-350. My apologies again for the wrong terminology I used.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
I don't think one exists at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] asakurato:
For reasons, I had to stay on Oreo. Installed TWRP, rooted with magisk, flashed RMM bypass. Everything is fine and Magisk seems to be working. Tried Titanium Backup, it gains gives root prompt and even if I grant, app says there is no root detected. Most of the root apps doesn't fully work, giving me different errors. Am I missing something? Should I disable something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
You need to disable the defex kernel protection, here is a ready-made custom kernel 8.1.0 Oreo, install it and there will be full Root rights :)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
When installing the patched kernel from my link for 8.1.0, Magisk Manager is not needed,

Root rights will be by default ...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] daizu:
What if some applications accessing root rights without my permission and it could harmed my device how can i deal with it? sorry for my english.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
I agree that with this kernel there is no control on the part of the user over the receipt of Root rights by applications ... :(

But unfortunately I have no solution, I need another kernel, namely the T385 kernel with defx protection disabled, which could be patched by Magisk.zip and have control through Magisk Manager ...

Here for 9.0 Pie there is a kernel for T385 from the sources, with which you can get 100% Root-rights with distribution control through MagiskManager:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80874563&postcount=570

You need magisk manager installed for root to work properly.

Just install it separately.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
I agree with the recommendation, but the root kernel 8.1.0 proposed by me does not work with the standard version of Magisk Manager :(

At the same time, Root rights are granted in full by default ...

Hey guys, yes, its another "OEM unlock not popping up" wtfkery post BUT with a twist, I hope. :fingers-crossed:

Anyway, gotta SM-T380 I'm trying to root like a majority of pepz here (its a gift so I want to get it rooted asap, if possible). Here's the gist of it:

Bought this son of a gun (yes, its running stock Nougat) and I did a factory reset on Day 1 (even though it was already factory reset to begin with). Enabled developer options and then waited the awesome 7 days of Samsung paperweight without restarting/rebooting/powering off the thing. Now, having a paperweight for 7 days isn't fun so after 168 hours of twirling my thumbs around; you bet I was ready to begin rooting this baby.

Yeah...unfortunately, as you can tell, OEM unlock isn't popping up like it supposedly should. The cat in me got curious so I decided to boot into download mode to check the RMM Status.

Cool, its normal but I still don't have OEM unlock showing. I've tried to re-enable dev options and the setting your date back a month or two trick to no avail. Any ideas, stories to share, or am I SOL?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
What are the parameters of the current firmware, what is the code * # 1234 #?

Judging by A1

(RP SWERV: S1, T1, R1,A1, P1)

bootloader 1 version is firmware 7.1.1

Never upgrade to 8.1.0 until the RMM Status line is gone ...

By the way, is it Normal or Prenormal?

usually Prenormal.

I recommend that you reset the data from the settings and then change the time 8 days ago and forward, checking for updates and rebooting the device ...

P.S. Internet must be on the device, i.e. keep Wi-Fi turned on ...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] khenkis:
Current firmware: T380DXU1ARB3

So, yes 7.1.1 (Nougat)

RMM Status is Normal and definitely have no plans to upgrade to Oreo.

Thanks for the recommendation! I tried it but unfortunately still no OEM unlock. Steps were as follows:

1. Ensured WiFi was on

2. Cleared all settings data

3. Manually changed date to 8 days prior and then back to today's date

4. Checked for updates

5. Rebooted

The problem is due to the line KG Status: Prenormal. We need to flash the stock firmware and check if this line has gone, it will go away with time and not always for full 7 days ...

I just upgraded to Pie on my SM-T380 and am now running into an issue after trying to re-root the tab.

I had previously rooted the tab using TWRP and Magisk and didn't have any problems except that I could not update Magisk since every time I went to TWRP I could not mount data, etc. I did an upgrade from Oreo to Pie today and it appeared to work without problems. I then tried re-rooting following the instructions in this thread but now only get an error screen when booting up (Security Error...) stating that "Only official released binaries are allowed." I can't boot into recovery and I've tried to reflash TWRP and get a FAIL in Odin every time.

I've tried to find the stock images to just reflash everything through Odin but am unsure which is the right image file (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a-2017/firmware/#SM-T380, I'm in the US). Can someone point me in the right direction?

OEM Unlock on and has been since I bought tablet in 2018

I was able to get the right stock image for my SM-T380 and have installed it and am back to normal and like shown over the last few pages on this thread, Magisk is not working. I am trying to follow the steps below and would like to clear up some questions:

Boot to TWRP

Format the Data partition (not wipe) using the FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options

Install the memory decryption patch

Assume this is the file found in Ashyx's siganture? Samsung encryption disable patch

Install the kernel

The file for the SM-T380 found in this post appears to be for the T380DXU3CSI5 but my current stock image is T380DXU3CSL2. I assume a new kernel is needed for this latest version. Is that the case? Also, the file is in tar format but need in zip format to flash in TWRP. Is it as simple as repackaging the tar into a zip file instead?

Install Magisk
