Just flash as usual.

- Wipe data, cache, system (dont forget to backup your important files)

- Flash MIUI

- Flash lazy flasher (optional)

Keep in mind

If you flash global beta version, it will replace your TWRP, you need to flash your recovery by fastboot whith pc.

China version, cannot replace your TWRP.

Hi,

with the xiaomi.eu rom, you won't loose your recovery. Just follow instructions told by [MENTION=8903322]MattHdH[/MENTION] :

- Wipe data, cache, system (dont forget to backup your important files)

- Flash MIUI

Reboot.

Done !

can you tell me how to install stock eRecover ??
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] dlewando:
normally, erecovery should run parallel to twrp. when i use 3 button mode, erecovery starts. if i use vol+ & power button, twrp starts. maybe you release the 3 buttons to fast ? it take a very long time, starting erecovery. hold your 3 buttons 40 seconds! then u will normally enter EMUI install mode.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Mast3r.71:
Use huawei update file extractor and extract stock eRecovery.img and recovery.img from donloaded update file(update. App)

Then u can use fastboot

Reboot to bootloader and flash erecovery an recovery partition using fastboot and stock extracted img files

Then go for dload method and success ?

I have to say after successfull flash, ur bootloader will be locked again (no data wipe)

Hey everyone !

I recently bought a op2 so I need to flash a rom asap

I have had experience in flashing ROMs and flavors of ROMs like AEX, Lineage, Viper etc

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] heartog:
Hi, I've updated my G935S to oreo since May and I am still unable to solve this issue:

Ever since I updated to Oreo, when I connect my S7 to my car (2018 Kia Rio, top trim with Android Auto), it connects as in it supports volume sync and plays fine, but after playing for around 10 seconds, it switches back to no volume sync, which makes the volume extremely low.

My question is, is there a fix to this? I know that I could disable Absolute Volume Control in Developer Options but I have other devices that are working well with that function and I don't want to disable it completely.

Things I've Tried:

-Clearing Bluetooth Cache

-Forget and reconnect car

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NYCgirl:
Posting in response to to general confusion :confused:, for example here and here. If you like it, please click "Thanks" below (bottom right) :fingers-crossed:.

Ingredients (plus links) :cool:

Best to use the latest versions available at the time you read this guide. I noted the version numbers I used.

TWRP (I used 3.2.1-1)

Odin (3.13.1)

Magisk (16.0)

Latest ROM from your device, regardless of country, from Updato (slightly faster downloads) or SamMobile. I used the latter simply because it had a more recent version.

Preparation (about an hour) :cowboy:

1.	Create full backup using TWRP, because you’ll need to wipe your data (and then restore it from backup). Plus, with a backup you’ll always be able to return to the current state of the device.

2.	If not enabled, turn on Developer Options. Then, go to Settings/Developer Options/OEM unlocking. Turn on OEM unlock. Otherwise, you may encounter an error when attempting to flash ROM.

3.	Boot into Download.

4.	Whether you downloaded from SamMobile or Updato, install using the instructions here (bottom right side)

5.	Follow the instructions to disable forced encryption and dm-verity, and to mount internal storage (DATA). Source and files are here

5.1 Install the relevant boot patch for your device below. This can be installed with ODIN or extract the boot.img and flash with TWRP:

T820XXU1BRE2_dmverity_patched_boot

T825XXU1BRE2_dmverity_patched_boot

5.2 Boot to TWRP

5.3 Install the Forced encryption patch: Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler

5.4 Format DATA using the *FORMAT DATA button* under the wipe options.

(NOTE - THIS WILL WIPE ALL INTERNAL STORAGE!)

5.5 Reboot and check DATA is mountable​

6.	Root by installed Magisk (or SuperSU). Instructions under “To Root” in the source above.

7.	Reboot and verify that the system works right

8.	Now, use the TWRP backup to restore your data.

You're done! :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kholargol:
Hi,

I think you really want to help because it's confusing indeed, but you forgot to mention how to install TWRP installation or didn't make distinction between coming from a Nougat or an Oreo stock ROM.

I know that tutos are not so easy to make because you must explain in a simple but clear and comprehensive way. I would do it myself if my english was better and if I had installed TWRP and routed my device myself.

But to do that ,I need a good tuto.. And if I had one, obviously I would not need to write an other one by myself !!

Good day dears,

I already posted my concerns on another forum which later found out that the steps it showed were taking from here.

the***********.com/install-twrp-root-galaxy-tab-s3/#comment-6493

Hi, I followed the steps until step “Install TWRP Recovery #9” I removed the wrong finger and it booted. I turned it off and when I turned it on using the same method, it went into the TWRP mode and I continued the steps until I reached the step to turn on "Enable MTP button" but it was already on as the only option was to decibel it. in any case, my tap s3 was not showing up on the PC. When I tried to restart it just loop on but not continuing to normal power up.

When I decided to try to do factory reset and use the factory button sequence, its always goes to TWRP mode not the factory reset options.

I don’t have any impotent data on the device, all I ever wanted was to change the aspect ration from 4:3 to 16:9 for my wife to play games and watch movies which require rooting. And now here am I trying to get out of this situation.

I appreciate all the help you can give, and thank you in advance for taking the time to read my problem.

You'll need to flash the stock firmware with Odin and start the process over again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
If you've already got to twrp stage then all you should need to do is format data and install magisk at the same time
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adsonic:
Thank you for taking the time to reply, yes I can access TWRP but when I connect it to the PC to move files to it, my PC doesn't see it. I pointed to this because I'm not sure if magisk is a file built in TWRP or it is something I need to transfer from the PC (which is not seeing my Tap connected).

Apologies if I'm double checking, its just I don't want to jump on action that might complicate things because I was not clear in explaining my issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
Magisk is a separate zip file that you need on your device to install with twrp. After you have twrp installed you could use wifi, or cell if you have it, to download the magisk file from your device. Just Google magisk 18.0 zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
MTP should be working both in twrp and android.

Note that if your internal storage is still encrypted it won't mount in twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adsonic:
These are the steps I did:

Reboot Tab S3 into Download Mode

Connect tab to the PC

Opened Odin in PC, clicked on the AP button then transferred file twrp_3.2.1-1_T825_29518 (my Tap has phone chip), then unchecked the “Auto Reboot” box. Finally clicked on Start to begin the flashing process. Once it is complete, disconnected the device.

until this step all is well, the next step is where I messed up.

I wanted to boot into TWRP recovery mode, I held the Volume Down, Home, and Power keys. As soon as the screen went off, release all the buttons instead of only the Volume Down key. this allowed the Tap to boot, and when it reached the the security pass-lock, I turned it off.

Then retried to boot into TWRP recovery mode, it went there fine, then I started the Decrypt process (Wipe > Format Data and enter “Yes” in the provided field after it finished I went to Reboot > Recovery). The device rebooted back into TWRP, connected it to the PC. Then went to Mount, there I should tap on the Enable MTP button however for some reason it was already tapped so i left it as is.

At this stage my PC should be able to connect to the Tap, but its not seeing it.

So I tried to boot it up maybe then I can connect it like before and try to move the folders this way, but it kept looping on the Samsung logo.

Tried going to the factory reset, but it always goes to TWRP recovery mode. So here am I stuck in TWRP don't know what action should I do.

Do you still have twrp installed and can you boot to it? You might try the tweaked t825 rom by rorymc928 in the roms, kernels, recoveries, section. I'm running his for the t820 and it runs well. Or if your friend has twrp installed he could backup system, and boot and you could try to restore it on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adsonic:
Yes I can access TWRP, but don't know how to tweak anything.

My friend doesn't have TWRP, and I don't want to mess with it so he wouldn't end up like me. IS there any way I can take a copy of his firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
Either way the Oreo bootloader needs to be flashed as I doubt the Firmware will boot on a Nougat bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jd1639:
You really can't copy his firmware unless he had twrp too. But try the rom by rorymc928. Download the zip file and then copy it to your device. You should be able to do that once you are booted into twrp. Then in twrp go to where it says wipe and do the default wipe. Then go back to the main screen and use install to install the rom zip file you copied to your device. It may not work depending on the current version of your bootloader. There are different versions of the rom depending on what bootloader you're on so download the version for your current bootloader. Note that if this works you will be stuck on that rom for the life of your device unless you can find official firmware that works on your device.

Flash didn't give me Oreo

I have two Tab S3s. The one I've had for nearly 2 years that has developed screen issues that makes it difficult to use and a used one I purchased recently on ebay. My old tablet did its update to Oreo some time ago, and it went smoothly. The one I just bought appears to be stuck in Nougat. The update downloads and installs to around 25 -30% and then fails. I restored that tablet with my data from the Oreo tablet when I set it up, so I don't know if that messed anything up. However, if it is the tablet, I might have grounds to return it as it was an ebay auction purchase and the seller did not disclose any information about an OS problem.

I've never flashed anything before, but decided to try it since the update itself fails. After a little trial and error and a bit of trouble getting the correct files, I finally got a flash to "pass." I assumed that meant that the firmware installed, but on the reboot, the tablet is still in Android 7. I honestly don't care to root it, though I do know there are some advantages to doing so. Anyone have any suggestions what else I should try? I have a good backup, so a factory reset is not out of the question, but I'd like to see if there is something else to try before taking that step because I'm not entirely sure that it will work anyway.

If its still nougat then that's what you've flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] EveFranklin:
I downloaded the Oreo firmware files dated July of 2018. The name of the files I downloaded match the firmware name that keeps failing on install on the tablet. I got them from Updato. That's what I flashed. How is that Nougat?

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

I'll go back and see if I can find something else.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

I went and downloaded another firmware set with a different date from Updato:

updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=5E5494E9655911E89F15FA163EE8F90B

It says it is Oreo. I just flashed it, and the flash passed. But the tablet still says it is running 7.0
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] EveFranklin:
Update my Oreo woes

I've been trying a few more things after the inability of the flash to put the correct OS on my tablet. Someone on the Samsung support forum said that resetting just the settings to factory settings (not the factory reset that wipes the tablet) fixed it for them. This did not work for me, but a Samsung rep came into the same thread and suggested that users with the install failure problem try using Samsung Smart Switch on their PC to manage the install. So I tried that . . . and the tablet just now finished rebooting after a successful install of Oreo!!!

Posting this here in case there are any others coming to the flash and root forum looking for answers to a failure of their device to install an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
Even though you've got this fixed.

Can you link me to the exact firmware you flashed that is supposed to be Oreo, but you say is Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] EveFranklin:
I can't post actual links because I haven't been on the forum long enough to be allowed to, but the first one I downloaded was the Updato link on the Upgrade to Oreo and Root original post at the beginning of this thread. I put the URL (also Updato) for the second one I downloaded in the post right before I posted my fix.

I'm not saying that the flashes are Nougat, I'm saying that that they didn't install Oreo. Even though Odin said the flashes passed, my tablet was still running 7. I may have done something wrong, or my tablet was rejecting them somehow. Not sure what was happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
The thing is every image flashed successfully. It's almost an impossibility for the device to have not been running Oreo afterwards if the firmware you flashed was indeed Oreo.

Why your tablet stated nougat still I don't know.

I shall download the firmware from the link you provided and check it.

Infact I think I already have previously as I needed the boot and recovery images to compile TWRP and it was certainly Oreo.

EDIT: looking at the Odin log again, it seems nothing actually flashed as the images are just listed before flashing.

According to the log towards the bottom nothing actually flashed.

Odd? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] EveFranklin:
Ah, so I probably did something wrong. At least I have Oreo now. I've wasted enough time on it. LOL! I hope Pie comes through smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
The only time I've seen something similar happen is because the device wasn't actually in DOWNLOAD mode before flashing the firmware.

Did you attempt to flash the firmware while booted to android or in recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] EveFranklin:
I was in the blue screen Download recovery mode, as the instructions said. You'll note in my original post that I mentioned that I had difficulty finding the correct files. I started out on another website that gave me incorrect firmware for my tablet and the first times I tried to flash I got the "Dev not supported" error in red on my tablet and a Fail in Odin. It wasn't until I downloaded from Updato that I got files that would pass. I'm wondering if the same issue that was failing the on-board install caused the flash not to take? I also wonder if the gentleman who sold it to me on ebay did so because he couldn't get it to upgrade to Oreo? The tablet was in immaculate condition.
