Hi,

I’ve sent my Tab A SM-T510 2019 Android 10 at the xth attempt to root it to last with TWRP 3. 3. 1-1 via ODIN into the beyond. It only boots up to the TWRP home screen, is there hope??? Can someone help me??? I have tested all possible key configurations. Always the same.

Best regards

Hey, just some notes to clear up any confusion about Magisk on the T510. The tablet doesn't have a ramdisk available for boot, so Magisk must be installed to the

recovery partition

. Below is a screenshot of Magisk Manager data from my own tablet:

View attachment 5261089

And per the Magisk installation instructions:

In order to boot into system with active Magisk, one has to essentially boot into recovery. From the Magisk in Recovery section (Bixby button references can be ignored):

I can understand now why John Wu was spitting nails mad when Google switched to dynamic partitions with system-as-root: it completely effs up the architecture for rooting with Magisk. :mad: ☠️

I don't know why Google and manufacturers persist in making it messy to nigh-impossible for end users--who desire to do so--to have full control of their own devices. Stupid. Just stupid.😾 Usunoro...

(P.S. Since hardware attestation is used on the T510, SafetyNet won't pass, no matter what. There aren't any modules that can address this, given that hardware is being used for the evaluation. Another baka change! Also, I'm sticking with Pie since I can't stand Scoped Storage. Can't. Stand. It.)

I need latest SMT515 TWRP. Is it possible to Flash SMT510 TWRP ON SMT515 ANY ONE TRIED🙆🙆🙆🙆
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 1x2d3a:
Hi,

thanks a lot @Magendanz for your hard work.

For all SM-T515 (LTE version) owners - here's what I gathered after spending a few hours on that topic (can be important for anyone who wants to root/install TWRP on SM-T515, not on SM-T510):

1. This is probably the only thread on the entire web where you can get TWRP (and root) for SM-T515. Other websites, even foreign ones, reference this thread.

2. If you buy SM-T515 now it will probably come with "T515-XXS-4ATB4" firmware.

(Android 9, March 2020 security patch)

3. If you upgrade your system more than once (to anything after the 1st update (T515-XXS-3ATE3, May 2020 security patch)), you will be OUT OF LUCK, installing TWRP will NOT be possible.

On top of that, SEVERAL people here claimed to have bricked their devices trying to install TWRP on newer firmwares (*XXU*, Android 10) without any path to downgrade.

The main developer here even stopped supporting SM-T515. All new builds are for wifi version only.

4. There is only ONE confirmed success story here from April 30, 2020 for TWRP build "T515-XXS-4ATB4".

5. Other success story here is about installing T510 TWRP build ("T510-XXS-3ATE3-20200626") on T515 from Jul 3 2020.

It's not clear, unfortunately, how well (if) this T510 version worked.

The problem is that there is also T515-XXS-3ATE3 version on github (the last one that was released) and there is no info if anyone tested it.

Here's another from Aug 5 2020, even less clear.

However, if "T510-XXS-3ATE3" worked, "T515-XXS-3ATE3" will probably work fine on your device upgraded to May 2020 security patch.

So, as a summary:

if you want to root/install TWRP on SM-T515, you'll have to use old firmware and Android 9,

if you install it on Android 10, you'll brick your device.

P.S.

@Magendanz, as I understand you don't have any plans to return to SM-T515 or release old code with kernel fixes, right?

Hi,

I'm having issues flashing TWRP on the SM-T510:

Settings/About/Android version: SM-T510; Android 10;...

I did the unlock bootloader properly.

Then I did use odin3_v3.13.3, to flash the sammy firmware for my version (AUT-T510XXS5BUC4-20210421105041)

(I even tried Odin3 v3.14.1.exe after)

There were three things:

BL :BL_T510XXS5BUC4_CL20709318_QB39002062_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

AP: AP_T510XXS5BUC4_CL20709318_QB39002062_REV02_user_low_ship_meta_OS10.tar.md5

CSC: CSC_OMC_OXM_T510OXM5BUC4_CL20709318_QB39002062_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

That went ok.

Then I try again odin to flash twrp-3.5.2_9-0-T510XXU4BUA1-20210508.tar.md5 to AP.

It gives me:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
It looks like you triggered Samsung's VaultKeeper "feature" during the reboot between flashes. You've can connect to the Internet and enable Developer Options immediately after OEM setup to prevent that. Do a search for more details.

Personally, I just prefer to skip OEM setup and hold Vol Up & Down after reboot to immediately return to Download mode to flash TWRP. Then in TWRP you can install Multidisabler to disable VaultKeeper for real.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] htchd2sucks:
Thanks. Yesterday I had suspected that, after seeing some of your old replies. I am trying related steps again now.

Is there a way to verify that Vaultkeeper is active/activated? I had discarded that possible root cause because I was still able to go into bootloader, so I though it was letting me do everything ...

Edit: that does not seem to be that...

I went into download mode, pressed "Up" long to reach the mode again, allowed OEM unlock.

Rebooted, did the internet + setup + enabled OEM and usb debugging.

Powered off + booted into download mode using vol up + down,

Tried AP flashing from ODIN of TWRP: same situation:

Having said that, I do have in ODIN a red message "custom Binary (Recovery) blocked by OEM lock".

Before it was saying only official rom were valid...

I'll try again.

Edit2: I did it again, bootloader, volume up, accept OEM unlock... and again the rest of procedure and this time it flashed properly...

Surely something weird with vaultkeeper...

Thanks!

hey so I'm new to this whole thing and I have a few questions

1) my SM-T510 is android 10 and the bit I m not sure it says 64bit armv8-a ( 32 bit )

so will this twrp work for my device?

2)also will it work for no root

3 do you need Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] I AM THE GOD:
hey so i am a dumbass and don't understand any of this

so basically your sm-t510 had kernel version t510xxs5buc4

and you flashed the twrp for kernel t510xxu4bua1 right?

i just want to flash a lineage rom and root my tablet for gaming .

any guide or advice.

(I am a prof. codm player and recently broke my iPad and have to manage with the smt-510

and the world cup codm stage 2 is starting so I need to boost performance asap)

any help/advice would really be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
First of all, the T510 is an "economy class" tablet. It is NOT meant to compete with iPads and anyone expecting one to replace an iPad for gaming is going to be sadly disappointed. Second, rooting and installing a custom ROM requires many steps and if you get a single step wrong, it isn't going to work. The first step is to check what version of the stock ROM your tablet has. If it is later than BUA1, then you are flat out of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] I AM THE GOD:
So how do I check
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Look for the last 4 digits of the Build Number in /Setting/About tablet. But, again, if you are expecting a dramatic increase in performance from rooting and installing Lineage , you are going to be disappointed.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
You can't install the Lineage ROM from that version of the stock ROM. You have to wait for the dev to upgrade to it. But I doubt that it would cure your problem anyway.

But I have one simple question: how to root my device? What file I needed to patch? I don`t understand that after reading @ianmacd topic, which you refer to in the beginning of our theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
I believe you need to need to have Magisk Manager patch the recovery partition on this device, which can be a custom recovery like TWRP. I haven't tested this personally, but you can probably just point it to the .img file downloaded here and then flash the patched recovery image right in TWRP. (I tend to run custom ROMs that have built-in dynamic root, so this isn't part of my normal smoke testing.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] vlrgamaley:
if i understand you, i need to doing these steps:

1) patch your last twrp img through magisk manager app

2) boot into twrp

3) reinstall modified (patched) twrp

4) (?) install multidisabler (???)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
You should install multidisabler first so that it disables boot security features and VaultKeeper. (If you don't want to reformat the data partition, there are versions that will allow you to keep encrypt.) Then yes, it's just a matter of patching the TWRP .img file in Magisk Manager and then flashing that patched .img in TWRP -> Install -> Install Image -> Recovery. There's then a special boot sequence you need to load Magisk vs. enter TWRP, but I forget now what the key sequence is.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] vlrgamaley:
I need to format data after multidisabler installing?

install magisk zip (v21.4) without all preparations through twrp and it works good, root checker shows full rights)

upd: after 3 hours of work stopped to load the system (bootloop), only twrp works wtf... restore from backup, but that was been very strange...

i try your way:

1) patch recovery img through magisk app

2) boot to twrp

3) install multidisabler and modified twrp

in the result: no root + no twrp) lol) install recovery again from odin....why is get root permissions at stock is so hard???!!!:rolleyes::cry:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] waterpolo:
I thought that you need to patch the boot partition (boot.img) from the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] vlrgamaley:
thx for advice, thinking about it later, but i really dissapointed about that :poop:which Samsung used to obstruct getting root permissions...

pls, give me the steps which you offer to solve that problem, because i tired and my mind doesn`t create good thoughts)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I thought it was the AP module that needed to be patched. If you read the thread for rooting the T500, that is the one that gets patched.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] vlrgamaley:
ok, i understand) but before that i back to full stock through and try to root again using advices from original guide. maybe i needn`t a twrp if i wiil get root)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Forget that generic guide. This one was written for the T500 and should work for the T510 while, of course, substituting the T510 images.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] vlrgamaley:
really great, thx) rewrite that post when i get some results)

did all for instruction, all going good, but didn`t had Magisk app at the end at app drawer and no root :c very sad :c maybe that guide doesn`t work for android 11?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zfk110:
Instructions:

1st you have to ***** Unlock bootloader ******* if its not unlocked then stop here and unlock your bootloader.

Ensure you're running the T510XXU1ASEF release

go to settings and then software updates and let the tablet download latest updates using OTA, once these two steps are done then move forward.

after updates Reboot tablet normally, check OEM lock, if its unlocked then go back

Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons during restart to enter Download mode

Install NoKnox to from AP TAB within Odin as soon it flashed NoKnox

Hold Power & Vol Up buttons during restart to enter stock recovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Reboot tablet normally, go through setup, connect to WIFI, check OEM lock, if its unlocked then go back

Reboot to bootloader

Install TWRP from AP TAB within Odin

Done.

If you don't follow, or miss these steps you wont able to install TWRP in 100 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CJSmyth99:
I followed that exactly until you flash noknox. The flash fails.

Hi,

The files now work with Odin. However, I still have the same problem. After booting into twrp, I factory reset using twrp and then boot to the system and experience the boot loop again. Eventually my 515 boots back to twrp by itself. Let see if others will have the same experience or not.
