How can flash stock boot logo after root?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbonine:
I've flashed my 5e so many times I'm worried about a MIB cognitive loss (for me). I keep boot looping. I was able to flash TWRP but that''s my only choice, bootloop orTWRP. I know I'm patching the correct TAR, and was originally intending to go with an alternative OS but gave up on that when I failed too many times. Ideas?

Is possible to run LTE on S5e t720 WIFI ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Essentrix:
Have you sorted this out yet? If not you'd need to give further information such as;

Have you followed the tutorial at the beginning which is very detailed? Is the tablet rooted already? Are you upgrading from a previous version?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbonine:
You're reply is 1st, thank you! I was coming from Android 9 (root) and the tablet wouldn't boot. I went to stock 11 XAR, but couldn't fix the bootlooping. I did follow the tutorial, and have been through this stuff on 9, 10, and S20 phones. I installed all stock 11 and boots great, no root . I'm thinking I should start over from here, since I now have a bootable tablet: separate AP, patch on tab using Magisk, copy back to PC and flash patched to AP (not letting Odin reboot). What's the status of the boot, do I need to play dancing keys or should it boot correctly with no fancy fingering?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Essentrix:
Don't follow you fully. Are you saying android 11 stock non rooted works well?

If so, a couple of comments;

You can't use TWRP and stock rooted in the S5e without significant issues.

You can use TWRP with a Lineage based ROM. Its works well.

If you want rooted stock, you need to follow the instructions given on page 1 carefully. The correct button pushing and timing is critical.

Once installed, reboots require the same button push though I just use Magisk reboot to recovery command which achieved the same.

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] handydandy:
I also lost root. Have you got it back?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] DHGE:
In order to "get root back" I have to boot into recovery.

I follow the instructions lined out in the Magisk Github repository for SAMSUNG devices.

I do not need/use TWRP. Where I need something extraordinary I use Magisk modules.

Sorry I can not help you with TWRP and root...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] handydandy:
Thanks for the suggestion. What's the next step after booting into recovery? I read the repo but still have no clue 😢
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] DHGE:
use the phone ;)

That is the outcome (this time rooted) you expect after a normal reboot.

For modifications you have reboot to Download mode or use Magisk modules.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] handydandy:
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. There's only a menu after booting into recovery, with options such as "Reboot system now", "Reboot to bootloader", etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] DHGE:
Maybe that is because you have TWRP installed.

As I wrote some posts above, I followed the official Magisk install guide.

NO TWRP installed:

If you end up booted without root you need to reboot into recovery.

You can either use the key combo (I nearly ever fail at that) or type adb reboot recovery on your command line.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Barium:
Thinking about if I should make a seperate thread for this, but was I wondering if more people stumble upon the same issue.

I rooted my SM-T725 tablet, installing Magisk, then installed TWRP and finally got the latest LineageOS 19 up and running.

On the first boot up (without volume up button) and setting up the device the auto rotate works. When rebooting (now with volume up button, thus with Magisk), auto rotate does not work any more. I also installed some apps to test the gyroscope, but they do not detect one.

Anyone ran into the same problem or know how to fix this? Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbonine:
A sincere thank you to the developers of this process and especially the writer for making this insanely complex process understandable. I was finally able to root my 5e last week and everythng is running very well. I'm just one of the users who appreciates all of your hard work, and I rely on my rooted devices every day. I have to wonder how much resource Samsung wastes every year locking these devices down, and how much less it would cost to cease while ensuring a significant jump in anchor customer loyalty. Often "we've always done it this way" is the best reason to take a different aproach.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] littlesthobo:
It would be great to know how you got 19.1 rooted on the SM-T275.?

I've been trying for days with no success.

Would you mind sharing the exact steps, rom, magisk gapps version?

Maybe then i can replicate the rotation problem!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Lord Sithek:
Yes, Im on latest too, I just updated from the Magisk app. Did you make sure to mark recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] falcon4fun:
Yeap. I'm sure I've marked it when made #2 try with clean flash

But github magisk issues exists, soooo :) I dunno. Will wait for new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] TheTofu:
Getting the same issue on crDroid 8.6, everything runs fine until I try to install magisk then I lose audio and sensors, and I have to reflash stock AP img then twrp and crDroid again to get it back. Tried with both magisk 24 and 25, if you're getting the same issue then possibly something LOS related, I'll post on that thread.

Hi:

I have intermittent rotation locks in Landscape, no TWRP, muted volume in embedded web players (Firefox) and a super lethargic UI. Also intermittent frozen screen unresponsive to back or recent with delayed response to power button. T-720, Android 11, ui 3.1. Not stress how to troubleshoot,ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Spudtater:
All, I should have read the entire thread.....too late now. Followed instructions as written and all was well up to the point of the ODin3_v3.13.1 flash with the patched magisk_patched.tar file. Odin should boot and recovery and then failed and I have ended up with An error has occurred while updating the device software. It must still be in download mode because Odin reattempts seem to get me back here. Have now read the entire thread but not sure what to do next. Any help is appreciated.

Model is a T720 of the XAR variant

Magisk was V25.1

Update:

Managed to get back to stock/factory. Will re read entire thread and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Barium:
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff... although I have installed and rooted quite some custom ROMs, this one is the most frustrating one EVER!. But figured it out!

Check my post in separate thread.

Sorry for the late reply, but left the device untouched for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] TheTofu:
What fixed this for me is after re-flashing stock in Odin to get everything working again, just rename the magisk apk to install.zip and flash that in twrp, and open the magisk app once booted, no other steps needed for install.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Barium:
Okay, but did you also manage to install crDroid without losing sensor functionalities?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] louvass:
I have a question, first thank you for the excellent instructions. I have a T720 wifi. Seems when I get to the first bootloader screen after holding vol up and down and plugging in. I get the blue screen but when I press vol up it just keeps saying downloading and it never moves to the black screen then to the 2nd bootloader screen. Has this happened to anyone ?

NM I figured it out, I had to go into developer options and allow to unlock the bootloader then I was able to get past that point. Thank you again for your work on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] louvass:
Now I'm having an issue where in Odin just sits at file analysis.. and it never moves when I try to flash the patched tar. I was able to flash back to stock with Odin, any suggestions ? Thank you

So I tried an older version of Odin and got further but it failed. I've done the process now 3 times I'm about to give up, again thank you for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] louvass:
NO Replies Nice !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] HunterDreed987:
Hi all, I performed the procedure for the root on my samsung tab s5e with android 11, arrived at section 12 the tablet restarts indefinitely. What did I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] louvass:
I've been stuck in a loop at boot up where it goes into download mode with an error. After trying different things like pit files, i ran odin and instead of flashing the tar file. I d/l'ed the zip firmware, unzipped it and in Odin I put each file name in the corresponding location...csc, ap etc. 3 of them, not the home file and it flashed correctly and i`m back up on stock rom. Hope this helps someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
Hi hope you can help i just pactched my ap file for my s5e wifi, but only received one file back not three is this normal.? If you could help with the steps to install magisk and twrp thet would be great. The last time i rooted was on my s7 and its changed a bit since then so any help would be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Daxorp:
Yes, because 2 files where already present.

My T725 is already rooted and with Android 9. Is it possible to update directly by downloading and patching the last firmware with Android 11?

Maybe it requires to send all files (AP, BL, CSC...) right? But no need to flash with stock version before?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] DHGE:
I did Android version updates before successfully.

You always flash all files otherwise the partion table might get changed.

HOME_CSC if you want to keep your data.

No.

What you flash is very "stockish" anyway. Just a patched AP with Magisk su baked in.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
Hi daxorp would you mind i messaged you for some help with my tab s5e wifi?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Daxorp:
I'm totally not an expert, I only follow the guides!

But look at the 1st post, the 2 other files are deleted on the next step, Magisk gives you only one file, that replace the AP one.

Thanks DHGE. 👍
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
Would still be helpful to have someone walk me thru it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
So basically i want to install magisk and trwp. Twrp is saying to flash magisk first before installing twrp recovery how does that work i get how u flash magisk, and its basically like a new tab at that point but how do u install the recovery? Do u flash it straight after b4 rebooting or let it reboot first
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
I don't know if twrp works with stock 11, it worked with 9 and I have it working on 10, but at the time many struggled to get it to work on 10 as you can see if you look back through earlier posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
Do u have to have it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
And did i get the order right?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
No everything works well without twrp

Yes you must do magisk first if you stay on stock android otherwise will cause bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
I sugest neo backup for backups
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
So i found out latest twrp supports up to android 12. Once I flashed Magisk how do i install it? Step by step would be helpful if you can
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
It's not a custom recovery like twrp but will backup all apps with their data

https://xdaforums.com/t/instal-twrp...t720-keeping-stock-rom.4072231/#post-82106415

That was how I did it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
So do you tick auto reboot and partition or no
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
If your meaning odin then from memory no to autoreboot as you need to manually reboot to recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
These are the best instructions for rooting for any device so just follow what they say
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
And for just magisk?

And leav partition unchecked ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
Personally I would not touch twrp on s5e android 11 because I don't know anyone who has it working.

Just follow root instructions to the letter
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
Yea its what im gonna do just wanna know to tick or not to tick
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
Look at the instructions!

It clearly shows repartition unticked in the picture
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
Okay section 9 and ten are confusing me its saying i should have more files than what im getting
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
And i should be getting
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
I guess it's a newer version of magisk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
Don't get worried, try things out, if it ends in a bootloop flash stock through odin and start again.

You will only learn through your own mistakes. All part of the ride of rooting

I wish you lots of luck
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Dragon1996:
Ok most guides are saying flash patched ap as is
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Lord Sithek:
Theoretically it shouldn't be possible to have both root and twrp working with stock OneUI ROM, I still don't get it how you managed to do it :LOL:

Anyway, I would really recommend to try latest crDroid A13, it's really good for me, even better than A12.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
Very interesting info. I am happy on stock 10 as of now but will keep this in mind

First you have to flash TWRP in Odin, then flash this ROM nad Gapps package, preferably this one:

So with magisk 25.2, does anyone know if recovery mode needs to be checked or unchecked

i was able to root and install lineage os fine. but hated it. so im trying to root stock and have been completely unsuccessful i either boot loop or root just doesnt work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] ExTall:
Have you tried using magisk delta, this is a more pure magisk, with magisk hide etc. Now Topjohnwoo works with Google he has backed off from the cutting edge he used to be.

This is just an idea I don't know if it will make any difference
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Jobudden:
I might right now I went with crdroid which is very simular but seems to run a lot better
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Lord Sithek:
CrDroid is based on Lineage but has a lot more customization. I use it some months now and I'm very happy with it. Good choice
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
I jumped in the wagon.

I took a chance to take $50 off 128GB version.

I have to use few days before doing root to make sure hardware is OK.

Thank you. I can tell that people are happily rooting their T720s. What I couldn't tell is whether the procedure outlined in this thread also works for the T725, or is T720 only.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] AHE_XDA:
The other difference is that T725 has vibration; T720 does not. Why?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] grävling:
Presumably to save money. Does this mean that you do not know whether your guide for the SM-T720 will also work on the SM-T725?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
I have successfully rooted mine and updated to May patch (ASF1/T720)

I have followed this instruction from [MENTION=9810135]AHE_XDA[/MENTION] as well as [MENTION=5624202]PewPewK[/MENTION] and my experience rooting T510.

Now I used official release Magisk Manager and everything works fine. Don't worry the red warning as it boots anyway. However, the way to boot is same as T510.

Press and hold volume up and power until you see bootloader warning and release all keys.

Moreover, you may need to "forget" and setup Wi-Fi again.

***** important *****

You may want to update the full ROM before rooting. Make a copy to your tablet and patch the ROM with Magisk and copy back to host computer. Browse the AP file with 7 zip and remove everything except boot.img, vbmeta.img, recovery.img, and the folder.

Have a full ROM handy in case anything goes wrong. Flash the patched ROM with Odin (uncheck reboot). Unplug your tablet and press and hold both power and volume down buttons; as soon as the screen turns dark, press and hold power and volume up buttons all the way until you see stock recovery and wipe.

Reboot as normal for initial setup and turn the power off after you see the home screen

Use button combo mentioned above to enable root. Magisk will ask you to make additional setup and go ahead.

That's it

Process is totally same for LTE and working.

Only difference to my unsuccessful try on may was that I flashed whole patched pda file, but correct is obviously to delete those files and leave only those 4...

Now I have 2 questions :

1. When some update appear, is there way to update rooted rom or must go from beginning?

2. Do you, or anyone else, have guidance for debloat - way to do it and what to delete?

Thanks.

I did a full ROM update before rooting, so it can be the same if you want to update

However, different version of ROM may behave differently. That's why I only install May update not June after reading issue.

Be aware you may not be able to download Netflix and you may need to sideload apk. It used to work after Magisk hide but not anymore
