You can Format your System partion Form TWRP, go Wipe / advanced Wipe select System .

Then install your Rom , Boot into your Rom after this is finish, reboot to TWRP and than you can flash Magisk.

Hello, sorry if it's a stupid question but is there any way to install this rom in normal way without "tripping" KNOX?

I'm quite used to flashing roms on other devices using twrp, but I read that on the t550 (and other devices with KNOX) if you flash on a custom recovery this causes KNOX to trip.

I'd like to avoid that.

OR can I do it via Flashfire and be sure that it won't trip KNOX that way?

(Because I read that some the kernel of some roms will cause KNOX to trip even when using the Flashfire method to flash the rom)

Please help !

[MENTION=8846360]virsys[/MENTION] any advice much appreciated! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
Anyone??

I'm trying to help a friend out by updating her Galaxy Tab A for her, but she uses two different banking apps, and it has KNOX on it.

I believe one won't function with root, and I suspect the other won't work with KNOX at 0x1 -- so I think it might be a no-go.

If I install Lineage via twrp that will definitely trip KNOX to 0x1.

If I install it via Flashfire I need root first. Then the flashing of the rom itself won't trip KNOX but the fact that the rom has a custom and not stock kernel will.

I could unroot after that I guess, but that still leaves KNOX tripped and at least one banking app not working, and who knows what else.

Or maybe I'm getting this all wrong?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

[MENTION=8846360]virsys[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] layman22:
I think with root and magisk/magisk hide option you can use any banking apps...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
yeah though root in itself isn't really the issue, magisk can't hide the fact that KNOX will have been tripped by flashing by a custom rom via a root-enabled flashing app.

so that still puts me back in square one with no way to update this tablet higher than Android 7.1 without the issues I described above :(

Thanks though!

crDroid 6.1 camera not working

Hi [MENTION=8846360]virsys[/MENTION] thank you so much for this Android 10 rom! It's pretty smooth on my Sm-t550 :)

It's a pity the camera is not working :(

I went a made a logcat and bug report link for that....and only after I then saw you mentioned this issue at the start, and it's a known issue.

However it took me a long time and effort to make the logcat because it was my first logcat ever and had to start from zero with that process, so I'm going to post it anyway :D (please see attached)

And here is the bug report: https://del.dog/tapykallug.txt

Sorry if that's a bit overkill...not sure if that's the exact same thing as the logcat, but just in case.

Btw, what's the deal with the errors in "Trust"? Is that because of encryption not working?

Netflix not working....(again)

Hey all,

I know Netflix not working was already discussed here many times but I think this is a slightly different variation on what I read so far (read all the Netflix mentions in this thread) :

So I'm using the 20200318 build of Lineage 16 from [MENTION=8846360]virsys[/MENTION]

I installed the latest version of Netflix and got the following error:

"The app is not compatible with your device. You can download a compatible version from the Netflix website".

Hmmm sounds ok so far. So I click on "Learn How" and go to https:// help.netflix.com/en/node/57688 and there download version 4.16 of Netflix.

Except that (and this is what I think is a bit different than what I read so far here) even that one doesn't work now!

With v4.16 installed I'm getting the message "This device is not supported by the app".

Damn, from the other posts I read here I got the impression that at least v4.16 was working, even if it is a really old version. Well unfortunately that doesn't seam to be the case anymore, at least not for me :(

(btw I know that Netflix is working on the latest CrDroid for this device but I'd prefer to stick to something a bit more stable and tested, like this version of Lineage)

I'm going through the older Netflix versions to see which one/s might work, right now v4.15 opens and plays for me but after a few minutes the play bar at the bottom disappears totally and won't come back no matter what way I touch the screen. Definitely not ideal, not very useable like this....

The Netflix question seems to be going around for a long time now. Is there any solution yet?

Any ideas for me?

Hey [MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION], thanks for figuring out this solution and sharing it with us!

I'm trying to give it a go but I'm kinda stuck....how do I actually copy the individual files over into the relevant folders? I don't see a paste option anywhere. I'm using Xplore with Google Drive like you suggested....but I can't figure out how to get the files into the folders they are supposed to go in.

Super confused....I'm only seeing the "Move" option, but that's only possible from the system folder into my Google Drive, not the other way around. I'm a total newbie at this kinda stuff, so sorry if this seems a bit dumb.

Mayber I'm just not understand the process correctly?

Please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
[MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION] ahh you can ignore most of above, I figured how the copying over part now (I needed to change to superuser + mount access in config) and I got everything copied over in Terminal!

I'm not clear on what to do, I'm entering the commands you wrote but nothing is happening. I mean Terminal is not reacting, it's just dropping down to a new line.

Please help?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
[MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION]

ok I managed to figure it all out I think....followed all the steps but it didn't work for me :(

of course since this is my first time making this level of changes, I could have missed something.

But I did go very slowly, step by step (and wow this was painful for me)

is it not normal that after running chown root:root filename the result is something like "chown filename to filename: read only" ?

that's what I saw after running chown root on each one of the 13 files.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Barnyarddog:
Hi, glad you managed to work your way through my instructions, they are perhaps not as clear as they could be.

The chown root:root filename command changes the user and group of the specified file to user. There is not output from the command as written. If you are seeing "read only" then I think the

mount -o rw,remount /system

command didn't execute properly.

I suggest you try the Terminal part of the instructions again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
thanks for your reply!

hehe it took me some trial and error (hence my many replies and corrections:D) to figure out what you meant in some places but that's mostly because I'm a newbie to this kind of stuff ;)

What you said about the chown root command makes sense....but I don't know why I was getting the read only result :(

I mean, I don't know what I did wrong with that. Because obviously it was half-working at least.

Do you think maybe you could post me a screenshot here of the way it looks like in your Terminal when you do it?

It's hard when I'm just blindly entering these commands not knowing what I should be seeing...

Would really appreciate!

It's so frustrating because I think now I'm really close to getting it! I just need to solve the last step with Terminal :confused:

By the way [MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION] are there any files that I actually need to delete??

Like the already existing 1.0 version of android.hardware.drm@1.1-service.widevine, for example?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Barnyarddog:
Hi, [MENTION=11006023]boyfromtomorrow[/MENTION] there is nothing to delete, the final rename sorts that out and gives you the option to back out if you want.

Here is a screenshot from a terminal session (it's from a different tablet but that's irrelevant). I just used one file as an example.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
thanks [MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION]! that helps :) I didn't get time to try it again but as soon as I do I'll let you know :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
Hey [MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION], I finally got time to try it again. This time was easier and I didn't get any read only results in Terminal, so chown root seemed to work

But sadly it still didn't work in the end, no DRM :( And I don't know what I did wrong or what I missed. I'm attaching a screenshot from Terminal....maybe you can see if somethings looks incorrect or missing?

After the screenshot I of course exited, and then restarted device.

By the way, regarding the files that already exist on the device, should I nevertheless replace them with the same file from your zip. or leave them like they are and only perform chown root on them? (personally I don't really care about renaming them)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Barnyarddog:
[MENTION=11006023]boyfromtomorrow[/MENTION] The screenshot looks fine. The idea is that you copy over ALL of the files in my zip to your device, placing them in the libraries as stated and ensuring that the permissions are set as described. Then carry out the terminal commands. Whether you rename your existing files is up to you. The same is true regarding whether you delete or rename older versions of files. I only took the rename approach to make it easier to back out the changes if they caused a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
Thanks for the feedback [MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION]

Ok I think I get it a little bit better now. So that means that when I'm copying over the files that already exist in my device (e.g. android.hardware.drm@1.0-impl.so) Terminal is going to ask me if I want to delete the already existing file and replace it with the one from your zip (I didn't do that on the last two attempts, I just left those original files in place, checked permissions, and chown rooted those ones)

So actually I should just go ahead and let those original files get deleted when I'm copying over the files from zip, ok.

(Please correct me if I misundertood)

Anyway, I still don't see what I missed or did wrong but I'll try it again starting from scratch

No signature spoofing in this CrDroid??

Hey,

is there no signature spoofing in the latest CrDroid by [MENTION=8846360]virsys[/MENTION]? :confused::confused:

I'd like to use microG and have installed all the necessary stuff for that but it's not working and doesn't pass its own check, and the main reason seems to be that signature spoofing (which is apparently required for microG) is not there.

So after some googling of this issue I enabled developer options where the signature spoofing option is normally supposed to be, but there's no sign of it.

Strange because CrDroid is supposed to be one of the roms that does in fact have signature spoofing.

Am I missing something??

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Hey [MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION], cool thanks for the info. I was using Magisk also, but a different terminal app at first (Termux I think).

Not gonna lie, it was painstaking for me as a novice, but so happy I could finally get it working. Thanks for all your help!

I do have 2 more questions:

When I did the final mount step I got the following error message: /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system'->'/system device or resource busy

Tried a couple of times but it was always the same.

I mean, luckily the solution still worked in spite of this but still I'd like to know if you got this and if there's a way to properly resolve it?

And the more important question: how do I paste into Terminal Emulator? Ideally I want to copy the commands and file names out of your text file guide and straight into Terminal as that saves sooo much time. This worked with Termux (although when I used that I didn't get DRM working) but not for me with Terminal Emulator. That made things so hard and it took ages to type it all in.

I might have to repeat the process as I need to reset the device for other reasons, so it would be amazing to be able to copy and paste straight into Terminal Emulator!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Barnyarddog:
[MENTION=11006023]boyfromtomorrow[/MENTION] 1) Not sure about the error but that mount is only making root read only again so it's irrelevant if you restart straight away. 2) I use Gboard as my keyboard and use its clipboard facility to paste into Terminal Emulator. It's going to depend on the keyboard you are using. It shouldn't matter which terminal emulator app you use though as long as it's half decent. As long as you aquire root access via the su command you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] boyfromtomorrow:
oh cool, thanks! I figured out the copy/paste issue. Gboard is cool by the way, cheers for the tip [MENTION=10751911]Barnyarddog[/MENTION]

I know I'm going a bit off-topic now, sorry, but I'm now trying to add Clearkey drm to my Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5110) running Lineage 14.

So I just followed the same process and copied over all the files except the 2 that are explicitly for Widevine (because L3 was already working and I didn't wanna touch it). In some cases, the file paths didn't exist so I created them. Then did the Terminal work and restarted. Sadly didn't work and I ended up with no Clearkey and no Widevine haha.

Any idea of how I could manage to get Clearkey working on this tab using your files? The SM-T550 was a friend's which I've had to give back for now. This is my GT-P5110 and there's a video app I really want which uses Clearkey so I'm desperate to get it working!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Barnyarddog:
[MENTION=11006023]boyfromtomorrow[/MENTION] Glad you figured it out. I can't help you any further except to suggest that you find a Samsung device running equivalent nougat stock software, search on it for files with clearkey or some abbreviated version in the name, copy them over in the same way and see if it works. A bit trial and error I know but you may get lucky.

Unofficial builds don't get updates via updater (unless the maintainer offers the required infrastructure, like @steadfasterX for some devices), so flashing a new image is needed.

You don't necessarily have to clean/wipe your tablet, though : dirty flashing (= flashing an image without wiping anything) may very well work !
