I follow all the steps outlined here but I cannot seem to get a good install of twrp. All data gets wiped but when I try to boot back to system I get a bootloop. Anybody else with this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
I will correct some points for success:

3)take the patch here for 9.0 Pi :

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80202853&postcount=531

4) the 3CSI5 core is good,it has the same changelog as 3CSL2.

There are 2 options for installing the kernel:

either install the tar-archive via ODIN,

or unpack tar and install the file boot.img as img from TWRP to boot partition .

5) install from TWRP Magisk.zip stable version(20.3).

Good luck! :)

I flashed Magisk many times but could not get root access. I think this file is what I missed. I am happy I found but sadly 'The file was deleted' Can you please upload one. I am very badly in need. Please.

The file is not deleted and I downloaded it, but You need the kernel from post 567 for T380: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80863641&postcount=567

But the core is the link: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=04461652675934069019

Got the attachment thank you. Do you mean that I should flash this before Magisk and then Magisk(root access) will works fine. I am on Pie.

I have got a file from Androidfilehost, 't385_defex_patched_boot.img' Should I flash this, is this for Pie? I am in confuse.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
You need to unpack the zip archive and the boot.img file install as img from TWRP to the boot partition, then install Magisk.zip from TWRP.

P.S. Androidfilehost, 't385_defex_patched_boot.img'

I don't know anything about such a core...

Do you have to install the rmm each time magisak is installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Eclipserazer:
Tried following your guide to the letter [MENTION=5662366]zfk110[/MENTION] i appreciate the help

But unfortunately something isnt working properly for me, and after following the guide i get into a Boot Loop. Any idea what i could be missing or doing wrong from your 'guide'?

and reading through this entire thread is so confusing, because theres patch this patch that, use this one not that one and then you have some people talking about 385 and others about 380 but they dont always specify so how are we to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zfk110:
I know there are so many patches this and that, that's why I have that guide just for T380 which I followed wrote word by word and step by step to get my tablet going, also you didn't give any info which tablet you are working on, and did you upgraded to pie or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
Is the reason why magisk is not installing is that I don't have the t380_pp_boot image being installed in Odin? I got TWRP and RMM Bypass working. Also btw, I believe my Knox counter is two by 2x2, so I got TWRP installed twice. The first time, I forgot to install the RMM Bypass. And I reinstalled One UI, I waited seven days. Made sure that OEM Unlock is on. Then reinstalled TWRP, and installed RMM Bypass. It's been a couple weeks. My device is not going locked so I'm good.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zfk110:
Yes if you are on pie then you have to flash that kernel using odin, as long you are using T380
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Eclipserazer:
I'm using T380, updated to pie.

I've tried finding and using different patches and encryption patches etc. throughout this thread and your post, most of the time after I flash/install everything im supposed to, I either get into a recovery bootloop but it never actually enters recovery, and others it attempts to start and gets stuck on the "Samsung" screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zfk110:
At this point I will freshly install Pie stock firmware using odin first then enable oem then go from there.

1st update the Pie using odin, enable OEM, flash TWRP using odin, Format, reboot back into TWRP, flash Magisk using TWRP, RMM using TWRP, reboot into download mode(use twrp to boot into download mode) flash kernel using odin.

You don't have to download all those patches and files, just use those which I have listed on that guide and you should be good to go since I tested personally, so many patches, files from here and there will make it worst.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
YES, I have the T380. Once I next get on my computer, I will real quickly back up the Rom via Google One (I have a membership), and Install Magisak, then go to Odin and flash t380_pp_boot. What slot do I flash the file too? Should I reinstall RMM Bypass, or am I Good? Also, after root, is there a way to turn off the Read/Write lock for TWRP? Also, after I install Magisak, do I need to install Magisak Manger Manually. I know before, when I tried to install Magisak, the Magisak Manger app did not install automatically. Will it this time?

I have a t380 running android 8.1. Can i simply follow the instructions in the first post of this thread? Or are there other additional steps outlined in some in between posts? Sorry, not sure if the first post has been updated or not
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
I had isscues with my t380 when installing Magisak on my T380, IT was with TWRP, but i am running Pie and Magisak Manger is working fine! Update to pie than follow the instructions a few posts above. You will get One UI 1.0 with it since it's a offcail update. You will need a Windows PC with Odin on it. You can something like Jodin3 if you are a user of macOS or Linux. One UI is worth it because you get stuff like dark mode, Good Lock (If you download nice lock and you sideload the modules), better one hand use, Android Pie, and more. It does not have gestures bescuse the device has hardware buttons, but if you don't like the Samsung Look. You can use apps like power shade, Nova launcher, and The Google apps like GClock and GPhotos, I don't think the device works with GCam, but you can use open camera. The cameras on the device are basic, and it would be silly to take pictures with a tablet, so I don't think you would need a camera app. But if you want the the Samsung stuff in Nova launcher, you can use Nova launcher prime to hide the Samsung apps. I don't mind the Samsung stuff myself.

Set Warranty Bit indicates if your going to the System (Kernel), or you are going to TWRP (Recovery). That's normal when the bootloader is unlocked. But to fix the bootloop, download One UI 1.0 for (T380/T385, Only do the one with your model number) from Sammobile. When I downloaded mine, it said Galaxy Tab A 2018 (T380) even though the T380 is the 2017. Then import the Rom into Odin. It will be in mupilte files. I had to import the files on my USB hard drive bescuse it wouldn't on my computer's internal hard drive. Then when your done. It will reboot the tablet and it go in the setup screen. Do know if your model number is not T380 or T385, you have clicked on the wrong therad. Also, you may have used the wrong filed (Example T380 files on T385.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
What slot is T380_BOOT_PP installed in? And how often has the rmm bypass have to installed. only when TWRP is installed? When any file is flashed? Once? Something else?

Need to use the kernel T380DXU3CSI5_patched_boot_111119 link : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80863641&postcount=567

Do not use the RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2.zip file, as it does NOT work on the model T380 / T385

I think that the patch is for models with an Exynos processor, and we have Snapdragon ...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Eclipserazer:
Still havent had any luck with getting this working, I definitely have a SM-T380.

Using This Stock ROM from Sammobile, which installs without any issues.

Flash TWRP > Wipe Data > Install Magisk > Flash Kernel = Instant bootloops at the first boot screen.

Flash TWRP > Wipe Data > Flash Kernel > Flash Magisk = Bootloops at the "samsung" screen after about a minute.

What am i missing here i mean really.. /Data is always mountable up until after the first bootloop, after which /data becomes unmountable and i have to reflash the stock ROM. Im guessing thats the issue.. But what am i doing wrong thats causing that?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
I Used the RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2.zip file and it worked fine on my snapdragon model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Eclipserazer:
I think i worked it out, the only thing i did differently was wipe cache after installing magisk :/ idk why that worked, but now im running into another issue, the tablet boots, but /data isnt mountable at all.. is there a solution to this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
The Samsung screen does not boot loop and you are going to wait for a few minutes. The boot animation which on a Samsung device is the Samsung Logo being on the screen for a few minutes is normal when you do stuff such as Installing Rom or in this case, erasing data from twrp.

One thing I noticed after rooting is that cellaur stuff shows up even though my device is WI-FI Only. There is no way to insert a sim and even if there was eSim support, the device doesn't have the cellular antennas. Even if I had a cellular device, I would be using it beacuse like everyone else here in Washington State, I am stuck at my house so I have no point of having cellaur beacuse I will be home for the next few weeks. Plus I dont have cellular so this device will never be connected. Why does cellular show up? I think it's the kernel that caused it. Why is this?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
I installed some magiask modlues, edxposed Framework, a custom boot animation, and a few tweaks like centered clock and seconds in the clock. I had a few bootloops, but it was beacuse it installed incompatible magiask modlues. I fixed them by uninstalling the bad modlues in the file explorer in TWRP. I'm glad I installed the data encryption bypass for twrp. Can I have the stock boot animation please? I am happy with the one I have, but it scares me sometimes when I restart because the first reboot having the anamtions my device restarted radomly while booting. I thought it was bricked, I booted in twrp, restarted... and the lock screen came up, it has not be restarting radomly anymore. But it kind of scares me to see "Cilck here to reboot to apply changes" I want the anamtions beacuse I will restore if I get scared too much. I dont like thinking of bootloops. And that random restart made me think my device was in a bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CaptainChris2018:
Install Custom recovery if you have not yet, Custom Kernel (The file with patch in the name) by getting the .img out of the .tar and flashing the .img in twrp in image install mode, install magiask, (your device will bootloop if you install magiask before the kernel) install rmm bypass (if you dont install the rmm bypass, your device will get bricked by knox). And it's not required but you should beacuse it can get you out of some bootloops down the road without wiping data. The not required thing is the Tab a 2017 forced eycpriton disabler.

The bootloops it can help solve is stuff like unsupported modlues, without installing it, you would have to factory reset to uninstall modlues. Instead. You could use the twrp file manger and go to what I believe is Data/ADB/modlues/nameofmagiaskmodlue/(folder opitons)/(delete).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] bobbylo:
I tryed rooting this tab T-380 so many times,but i was installing Magisk before the kernel,and was getting bootloops everytime.Then i read your post...

So was i flashing wrong? You have to flash the kernel before magisk? So....Flash twrp,reboot to twrp,format data,reboot twrp flash kernel.img in twrp,then

RMM bypass,then reboot to system?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
You did not do 2 actions before rebooting - Flash the encryption disable patch Tab_A_2017_Pie_forced+encryption_disabler

and flash Magisk.zip. After that, you can do Reboot system now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] bobbylo:
Yeah,i forgot to add that i flashed magisk..So heres what i did....

I flashed TWRP,then booted to TWRP and formatted data,then rebooted to TWRP and flashed the kernel,then magisk,then RMM bypass,then booted to system.I never did flash the Tab_A_2017_Pie_forced+encryption_disabler..

The tablet booted up,and i had root access,but now i can't mount the Data partition in TWRP.So i can't make a backup...Is that because i didn't flash the Tab_A_2017_Pie_forced+encryption_disabler??Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
That's right. If you do not flash the encryption disable patch, then Root rights will be, but the memory will be encrypted again and will not be available for TWRP :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] bobbylo:
Thanks,before i got this post i flashed Pie again in Odin,then went through flashing root again.This time i left out the RMM bypass.

I have the T380,and i read in a few posts that the RMM bypass dont work with this model,so here is my flashing procedure.

flashed twrp in oden,and booted to twrp.Formatted Data,and rebooted to twrp.Flashed the patched boot.img to boot partition,flashed Magisk,flashed

encryption disable patch,then wiped Cache and Dalvik,and booted to system...

I was able to mount the data partition and make a twrp backup.Do i really need the RMM bypass? everything seems to be working fine so far..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Talich52:
I used RMM bypass patch several times, but it DOES NOT work ... This patch should correct the build.prop file, but this does not happen ... we are talking about the line ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature = 1, the patch should change 1 to 0 but this does not happen :(

and in Android 9 (Pie) there is no such line at all ...

In short

RMM bypass is not needed ...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Matty1993:
You need to flash the original stock firmware back to your device and probably wait exactly 7 days you did not enable "OEM UNLOCK" in developer options, now you have triggered the security features anything custom can only be flashed once your bootloader is Unlocked, this is what the OEM UNLOCK does is unlock your bootloader,

You have all 1 in your AP SWREV download a copy of your stock firmware from sammobile.com or search the forums here maybe you'll get lucky,

You want the nougat 7.1 firmware so make sure the firmware has a U1 or S1 on the firmware file do not use any firmware with U2 this is oreo and not hot supported on T380 just yet dev is in progress making changes but isnt released as of yet,

Flash the stock firmware using Odin 3.13.1 place BL in BL tab AP in AP tab and HOME_CSC is your CSC tab, if HOME_CSC fails use just CSC,

Wait for flash then the tablet will reboot and boot up,

Go to your settings,

Go to about tablet,

Go to software information,

Tap the build number tab 7 times until developer options is enabled,

Go to developer options, see if OEM UNLOCK is present, if not your locked out for 7 days exactly before you can unlock the bootloader for TWRP & root.

I tried to install TWRP on oreo, ended being a nightmare and it's not compatible ie wont boot,

Use any firmware that is labeled as T380××××U1×××× this is 7.1 nougat and the only OS at the moment that supports TWRP for T380 on this thread from the OP

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Matty1993:
All good :)

& Magisk is easy to use mate, I use it personally myself on all devices as it has hide for banking apps, snapchat and other apps root detection,

Install the magisk.zip with twrp, boot the device and you should now have magisk manager.apk on your tablet with magisk root installed,

Open the magisk manager.apk then tap the menu at the top left, then tap settings,

In settings, enable core only mode then magisk hide, and systemless hosts if wanted it will prompt to reboot after magisk hide and core only so reboot,

Then re enter magisk manager.apk the go to settings again this time tap repackage magisk with a random package name after it has completed reboot and that is it, magisk also will pass the safety net check whereas super user will not.

That one may not work for his/hers as its 32GB version will depend if his/hers is the 16GB or the 32GB version

Would be best not to flash the CSC if going to use this firmware as the CSC contains the .PIT file (partition information table) and may mess something up severely,
