Ok found the error, it attempts to set a permission for something that's not there, I removed that line on the previous zip, but picked the wrong file to insert the code from for this one, that file still had the error, it will operate normally, just a bit messy at the install. Let me know if you find any other errors.

New zip being uploaded with the coding fixed, as said above, unless you find a problem the one already posted should be fine, any new downloads best wait for the new one that's uploading now.

Sorry guys ?

Has anyone tried flashing this onto an SM-T825Y? Mine is really laggy with the stock firmware. For some reason I'm only getting ~1100 single-core and ~3455 multi core on GeekBench, hoping a different ROM will fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
TWRP will reject the rom with a failed flash as the model number is different, the rom programming checks that first.

Is the T825y a chinese version? Do you have root access and twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] eug:
Oh, right. It's the Australian version. I tried flashing the stock UK BRL2 ROM and got a secure check fail error too.

I haven't rooted it yet, I'm deciding between installing this ROM or selling it and maybe getting a Tab S4 instead. If I install TWRP it'll trip Knox which might make it harder to sell, but if this ROM speeds up the tablet to what it should be, I won't need to sell it. Decisions! :)

I'm happily running v 3.6 of the ROM. However, I can't put nether new Samsung loader, nor new Samsung firmware (for the loader sake) - it reports error on re-partition. How do we deal with such errors?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jd1639:
What version of Odin are you using? And do you have the repartition box checked in Odin? If you do you shouldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] alexeyp:
Odin is v 3.2.13. Repartitioning check box is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jd1639:
I would redownload the stock firmware and check the md5 to file out any file corruption. Then try different USB ports and cables. Odin can be sensitive to the ports and cables.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hokage073:
I just hot device recently, for me this is amazing device with beautiful display.

But sometime when using chrome and playing games (like hearthstone) it is bit laggy.

I think with debloated some bloatware like this rom offer can give some performance gain.

So, Can anyone confirm that this rom works on T825Y version

Thanks in advance

The firmware still slow as compare to lineage 16 for T820
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
New builds up....

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397964302

Requires a bootloader flash, available here

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397964302

Based on the BSD1 firmware, sorry for the delay, it's more reliable for me to do the T820 version first so I can test that, unfortunately it always seems a lot slower to turn up.

Tweaked Rom 4.0

[MENTION=2320544]rorymc928[/MENTION]

Hello, I'm currently on my SM-T825 with Androifd 7 and BL BL_T825XXU1ARA2_CL12700481 on the way. I would like to try the newly tweaked Rom 4.0. If I now flick the Oreo version 4-part T825XXU1BRE2 CSCT825DBT1BRE2 via Odin and then flash your bootloader BL_T825XXU3BSD1_CL15760769 via Odin and then TWRP on it and Tweaked Rome 4.0, then if necessary, can I flashing back to Nougat? I mean just because the new bootloader is an xxu3 and the ARA2 is a XXu1. I once read that you can not downgrade the bootloader. Just one last question. Can I also exchange the Magisk.zip for the Superuser.zip in your rootzip directory? I would like to have superuser roots for running all my apps best. Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ch3ck3rM0n:
i come from ARA2 and just made a factory reset, flashed via odin the bsd1 bootloader and flashed the newes rom 4.0 version.. everything works fine.. i just missed the samsung notes app for my pen, but i reinstalled it out of the store :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tlissy:
[MENTION=7406016]Ch3ck3rM0n[/MENTION]

Thanks for the answer. If I do it like you did, can I go back to ARA2 and nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ch3ck3rM0n:
haven't try it but as far as I can read/understand in the description - yes.. i think you only have to wipe the data/cache/system partition, flash old bootloader and old rom.. should work then again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Renaluv991:
lf you running pie os can i flash tweak 4.0?

Does it still have widevine L1? ( im other words Netflix HD)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ch3ck3rM0n:
why it shouldn't? for my.. yes it has L1..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] BraianV:
I dont know. Im New to understanding L1 and L3 and i thought that only stock rom has L1 but it you flashed aosp or custom from stock, you could lose L1 and only have L3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] marvi0:
Hi guys i want to try this rom but need to know if I will be able to use sd card as internal storage or adoptable storage please?. I have an sd card 256gb and have lots of games so really need this feature thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ch3ck3rM0n:
It is not possible to get sd memory as adoptable storage, having the same problem since the update. If you want to use adoptable storage, rollback to Nougat (Android 7.0)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
As a work around, go to.... Settings apps... Select the app /game then select storage, here you can choose the data storage location, select change you'll have the option of internal or external. Most games will allow this out of the box. If the option is not available for the specific app, go to developer options, there's a setting to force selectable storage for all apps. Let us know how you go.

Another option you could try is an xposed module, XinternalSD. It has a setting to designate the path to the internal sd, just enter a path to your external sd. /storage/("external sd name ") /

I've not tested that on this rom,
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ch3ck3rM0n:
Nice try with the workaround but the most apps and games do not move the data to SD card with this option. The just move a minimum of data but for example "Minecraft Story Mode" it still stays with 4,5 GB on the internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
Difficult to know without using the specific apps myself, thanks.

Have you tried the xposed app, XinternalSD ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Thank you for making this tweak. :)

I'm the one who uses S pen a lot of time and needs the quad speaker with its Dolby Atmos sound effect. This one is the best pre-rooted rom for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Life Companion:
Downgrading to Nougat :-

I just tried flashing nougat ARA2 BL as you mentioned but it failed at Auth and Error on Tab is something like Binary 2> 1 etc i dont remember exactly...

What should i do?

Should i go for U1BRE2(0re0) from U3BSD1(0re0) and then flash U1ARA2(Nougat)?

Because you said BSD1 is backword compatible to BRE2..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
In general you're better off with the latest version, the bootloader used with later firmware /roms is not always backwards compatible to all previous firmware /roms, flashing back to BRE2 should work anything earlier may work but can't guarantee it, from memory nougat roms required the older firmware. Some updates have meant you can't flash the earlier bootloaders though, guess Samsung decided they don't want you doing it. At this stage flashing nougat bootloaders should work, I haven't tried it recently.

As for which earlier version you prefer that's up to you, if you've got a particular issue with a later rom, your choice,which to try.

The error you listed sounds like it could be a bad download, try again, perhaps save a log from twrp if it keeps happening, ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] pankozin:
Thanks for this rom, really loved it!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
Thanks for your comment, I notice there's an update out from Samsung , I prefer to do the 820 update first as it makes it easier for me to pickup issues, unfortunately it tends to lag behind in release. ?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] pankozin:
Cool! Thanks for ur work, ur Rom is the best around. Anyway, I'm happy with the present Rom version too, it works faster than stock, debloating kicks in, more ram available tho. Everything works perfectly without this Samsung crapware flooding the system :) Samsung will always need guy like u, to wipe all the **** from it, making stock usable :)

The only device I can use complete stock on is oneplus and pixel, others need treatment.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Good news, cant wait one ui to kick in. Hope it will be up till tab s6 release, otherwise I'll swap. Or MB I'll buy it anyway. Wasn't dat happy about how samsung adopted snap 821, so much lag compared to oneplus 3t, for example... What do you think about s6? Worth it?

BTW, link to to debloat list is dead, can you refresh it? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
The link seems to be working for me.

I thought the the next top tablet was to be a tab s5 without the (E), had you heard tab s6?

Behind the times I see it is the s6, looks good

After I flash twrp 3.1.1-0 or the older ones, it goes into the twrp, but everythings size is 0

0 internal

0 system

0 external

this is making me mad.

Anyone know a fix for this?!

Can I install Magisk with odin not with Twrp so I can install xposed from there??

thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] peppeson:
I have the T825 tablet... I'm just a bit confused: I tried to flash the TWRP and I selected read-only (not allow modifications) but I can't do factory reset or wipe data... so, what is it useful for? I must allow modification and solve dmverify problem to install this rom. Isn't it? If I do this, can I than came back to stock rom to receive future updates?

Then, with the last version of the rom, is the issue with netflix offline download solved?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
You need to allow modifications to flash the rom,dm verity, rooting and debloating are all taken care of in the rom installation.

If you were to, return to stock for updates you lose the rom you flashed, if you wanted to do that it is a relatively simple flash of the firmware via odin. But you can of course just flash the updated firmware in odin to begin with. The firmware releases via sammobile.com or Samsung update follow the automatic updates fairly regularly. So it really is a choice, after market rom, or official. If what your asking is can it be returned to stock, most definitely yes. It will show the knox trace of having been altered at some stage, if that effects your warranty, but it will accept online updates from Samsung.

There is a slightly later update available now for the T825 than this rom is based on, generally I wait till the update is available for the T820 so I can easily debug first, as that's what I have, unfortunately it's updates tend to lag by a week or so.

As for Netflix there's a fairly simple fix if you search this thread or the T820 thread for it it'll be easy to find.

Thanks for the best rom for Tab-s3

Sim card not detected, No network menu..

(Edit: please ignore the post, found the culprit mentioned at bottom)

[MENTION=2320544]rorymc928[/MENTION]

I used the rom for 2 days without problem..

Everything was fine..

Suddenly after a restart mobile network was gone and I was prompted to insert a sim card..

Sim card is OK, checked with other phone..

I tried with another working sim card..

Still the error remains..

IMEI is intact..

There is no settings menu appearing for Mobile Networks at all

So I flashed INS latest firmware successfully through Odin..

Still no network..

I have tried everything..

Factory reset from settings

Factory reset from recovery..

Nothing works..

What could have gone wrong?

Please Help..

Thanks and regards,

Semantsen

(Edit: After much research I have found that Sim Card fits loose in the slot. I have fixed it by adding packing on back. Please ignore the post. Rom is fantastic)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Swizzle Firma:
Just a heads up - you need the very latest version of Odin to flash the latest Bootloader.

Thanks Rorymc!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ch3ck3rM0n:
Hi Rory,

as far as I can see the international version of Android 9.0 for the SM-T825Y is released. Will you offer/build us a TWEAKED version from you, too?

Greetings,

Manuel
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
The short answer is probably yes,

The long answer is.....

I have a T820, the updates tend to be later for it, it is more reliable and simpler for me to encounter problems, there always are some, directly myself first.

Then with a successful T820 rom, use the same technique to build the T825 rom, with larger changes sometimes opting to use a tester to check it first.

I've been considering a T825Y rom for a while, it would probably fit in that same process with the standard T825.

On that line is root fairly reliable on the T825 at present ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dagrim1:
Owning a T825 myself and can also work on this, but my knowledge isn't as great... I have done an OREO rom likewise to yours and that works fine, incl root. My main questions

though are:

1. Will TWRP still work with the pie update/how to test?

2. Are the Y and non-Y roms 'interchangable'? (What is the difference between the T825Y and normal T825 and can I flash a rom without the risk of bricking it)

3. If I just make a TWRP backup of the current setup, it should be simply flashing that back when things go ugly right? (Reflash stock rom, put TWRP on it and restore backup)

Just not sure if I won't mess things up when I want to try the Pie rom ;)

*Edit*

And now read the BTU version for the normal T825 is out as well... so that solves that part ;)

Got vacation after tomorrow so some time to dig into it then at least... will be checking it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
Just got a S3. New to this forum. Updated it to latest Oreo.

Installed TWRP, Magisk and this Rom.

Rom runs smooth:good:

Just a few questions:

Is there a option to advanced reboot options in the Rom?

And a black or dark theme option?

Double tap to wake?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
Two of those are within gravity box,

Advanced reboot is in the power options section

Status bar double tap to sleep, is in the status bar options, not seen double tap to wake, but an alternative is the home key, fingerprint reader, resting on it without clicking will wake and unlock the tablet at the same time . Not sure if that has to be set or is always there

Theming will be much more straight forward with the pie update, if my s9 is anything to go by
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
Sometimes I get a bootloop after a reboot or shutdown. I use then a softreset to boot it normally. I reflashed the Rom again. Still it happens. Any idea whats causing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
No, not seen it actually happen although on a couple of occasions, I've found it wouldn't accept fingerprint with the usual message after reboot enter password. It hasn't interfered with things for me.

Is this happening in the middle of work? interesting if you remember what you've been using at the time and shortly before.

With the 9.0 update it's likely all these things will wash out.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
Ok,

Android pie version up now

Tweaked 5.0

I have tested bootloader requirement on the T820 , no bootloader update required.

Based on CSH9 base, not sure yet as to backwards compatibility if you did upgrade the bootloader , though as I said it's not required

Got myself tangled up in frp lock at one stage, suspect that was an error on my part, so make sure you have oem unlock selected, numerous dirty flashes over full pie worked fine.

Will check a wipe then flash next.

I see no reason it won't flash direct from bsd1 firmware or Tweaked 4.0,but make sure of your encryption state, and backup fully,and have the new bootloader at least standing by.

Links to follow....

SM-T825 TWEAKED 5.0 based on UK T-825 CSH9 firmware

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962579651

The T820 version has an issue with the fingerprint scanner, still debugging this.

Recommend dirty flashing over the earlier 4.0, for the time being

By the way: Do you have any possibility to add adoptable storage support with Pie?

Thanks for fast and awesome work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
Fingerprint issue has to do with the downloaded rom size.

1 file is trouble, 5 files extracted for Odin is the good one.

Tested this a few times.

It's a faulty rom uploaded in Sammobile I Guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
There have been some flashes of this rom with fingerprint sensor working, so it has to do with the individual process, wiping etc. I haven't tracked that down yet. Some total wipes and some dirty flashes have left fingerprint sensor functional, for me it didn't,. Once we figure out what, it'll just be a method to use or avoid that will fix it.

The fingerprint sensor is actually functioning on mine, it just won't store new fingerprints or unlock with existing ones. You can tell by attempting the add process, when you go to add it first shows a cartoon of fingerprint adding, when you place your finger on the sensor, it moves to the next stage, so it does receive the data, but then refuses to process it.

The firmware from sammobile is fine also as the scanner works fine with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ch3ck3rM0n:
I tried today a fullwipe and flash your rom again to get fingerprint working. It do not :(

You mean your fingerprint reader is working? Can you add fingerprints?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ZPeppe:
Yes without any issue. Flashing the new bootloader did the trick for me, even with a clean installation of the rom. Sorry, I haven't been clear enough in the last post.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rorymc928:
Thanks for your insight....

That's confirmed now by me, same effect.

So for others, a dirty flash over 4.0 will work it will boot, but the bootloader update is required to keep the fingerprint reader working.
