SW REV has returned to (S1) (T1) (R2) (A1) (P1)

SW REV (K1) (S1)

and not (S-2) (T-2) (R-2) (A-2) (P-2) like it was,

___________________________________________

used the same firmware I tried to previously flash after repair and this time the BL, AP & CSC all flashed without an issue, whereas before the entire BL.md5 would not flash would give aboot(fused-2) binary 2,

___________________________________________

Heres how I repaired the TAB A 8.0 T380 running the new REV002 8.1 OREO SDK this should work for all other flash errors of the correct binary,

Download the corresponding factory binary for your REV00? ( 1 is nougat 7.1 & 2 is oreo 8.1) from shell.boxwares,

Do not flash the entire combination.md5 you will receive the same error aboot(fused)-2 binary 2,

Downlaod 7zip.exe of you already havent got it and install it,

___________________________________________

INSTRUCTIONS

___________________________________________

Extract the combination.tar first to get the combination.md5

#1 go to the folder containing your combination.md5 or put it in a folder

#2 right click on file & move the mouse cursor over the 7-zip option.

#3 click "extract to combination_ FA_70_T380ect ect ect " option, the combination rom is now being extracted to your folder, now exit 7zip

#4 from the 21 files we will need only the following,

• adspso.bin

• cache.img.ext4

• cmnlib.mbn

• keymaster.mbn

• lksecapp.mbn

• msadp.mbn

• NON-HLOS.bin

• persist.img.ext4

• recovery.img

• rpm.mbn

• sec.dat

• system.img.ext4

• tz.mbn

• userdata.img.ext4

________________________________________

DO NOT USE THESE FILES

________________________________________

These will all give you SW REV (fused)-2 binary 2

• apdp.mbn

• devcfg.mbn

• sbl1.mbn

• aboot.mbn

You wont need the .pit file or the modem file these are irrelivent to this repair.

#5 in the folder with the 21 files delete the files above under DO NOT USE THESE FILES also delete .pit and modem as they are not needed,

#6 with the files that are left as described above in the needed files, individually on each file right click on them, then move the mouse cursor over the "7-zip", now select "add to archive"

#7 leave the names as they are do not edit them,

Select the options as following,

"archive format" = .tar

"Compression method" = Store

#8 Next press ok, now do this for all of the files, NOTE YOU MUST archive each file individually and not all at once or Odin will not flash the file and will crash every single time

#9 once all 14 files have been converted to .tar archives individually, you can then exit the folder,

#10 open Odin prince comsys 3.12 works or Odin 3.13.1 standard either will do,

#11 click the "AP" TAB now navigate to your folder containing your 14 .tar files, select the first in line to flash and then click ok.

12# leave "auto reboot" as it is and checked, now connect your T380 in either download mode that appears and wait for it to say "added" in Odin,

13# click start and wait for it to pass and reboot,

14# do this for all of the 14 .tar files but make sure "cache.img.ext4" is last to be flashed,

15# after cache is flashed your device will reboot and you will now see the colorful circle that is spinning once this has completed the device will reboot and your issue is now solved and you can now flash the stock firmware back to the device to have it functional again if this helped you hit the thanks button :)
