Guys ! Perhaps some of you knows, but I have to use aromafm in TWRP, but when I try to load zip I get message " Update process ended with signal: 11" and can't flash it...Whatever I do, downgrade/upgrade recovery, downgrade/upgrade firmware, changing kernels,formatting,whatever...nothing helps. Is this error in recovery,firmware,kernel or device ?

On my Note 10+ and Note TabPro 12.2 aromafm works without problem.

I use a lot of aromafm.zip and it would really be helpfull.

Any idea ?

You only need to flash stock BTD1 Android 10 rom if you want to do this process for Android 10, not ASL3 (Android 9). That's what I call stock. Pure official Android 10 rom from Samsung. After this you can proceed with the steps for rooting / installing twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] diehard2013:
So I'm good to go, right?

Android Version: 10 / API Level: 29

Android Security Patch Level: 2020-03-01

Bootloader: T860XXU1BTD1

Incremental: T860XXU1BTD1

Im not a 100 percent sure but lately my TWRP for my S7 which is 3.3.1 gives an error everytime I make a backup I believe its like error 7 or something but it doesnt mean anything. It might have to do with android pie OneUI or it could be you mounted an OTG cable and than unplugged it so it errors on that partition. Its common to get TWRP errors if you can do everything fine I wouldnt worry. ALso a lot of Magisk modules now cause errors because they unmount the system and when you flash the next zip it says error because you need to reboot in to recovery so it mounts your system . Just things ive noticed maybe im wrong.

I see one guy says it the updater script.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] diehard2013:
I ask this out of curiosity. Why does DATA need to be formatted? Not formatting DATA is referred to as a dirty flash, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Alright I got my S6 860 model and im ready to flash twrp I have the bootloader unlocked. I am wondering how to boot directly into TWRP once I flash with odin and is this true

Important Note: It’s extremely important that you force-reboot your tablet directly into TWRP recovery after step #8 below. If your Tab S6 even tries to enter the system (OS), it will end up in a bootloop due to triggered KG/RMM state. You will have to restore the stock firmware and wait for 7 days, only then you’d be able to re-install TWRP.

I haven't heard of that before.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

Heres how I do it on my S7 instead of rebooting into twrp from odin after flashing. I learned to hold the home button volume down and power button while leaving it plugged into the usb. That hard kills the S7 and than I can place my fingers on the recovery buttons and boot into TWRP recovery without a problem. How do I hard kill this thing? Because itll work for this to. its a sweet trick to not mess up

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Im reading through and it looks like there are big issues with messing up. Normally on XDA all issues with messing up are posted in the OP as warning. Why was there no mention of anything. Same with telegram ?

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

I got it first shot. So whats all the new partitions in twrp vendor and others I've never seen. Im using twrp 13 your latest. Im making a backup and than flash kernel , format, disable encryption and root. Very good tablet so far dont care for the rooting method thats bull**** lock you out for 7 downs.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I got root finally now I can play with my new tablet. Very fast I cant believe how fast it is feels like im on my PC.

If anyone is going to try to root it you need to explain that you need to not let go of the volume up and power button after flashing twrp with odin. I bet thats where everyone messes up. You feel like its going to boot into twrp like they used to but the bootloader warning and **** flash on screen still just keep them pressed down it took like 20 seconds or more. Not good im not a fan of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Well thanks for the Kernel and the TWRP the tablet seems to be running great.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
I think the instructions for unlocking the bootloader and rooting it could be further expanded upon. I have rooted about 20 different devices and made about 4 custom roms. Even I was thinking from the basic instructions that it was similar to the way its always worked. First thing bootloader unlock- to boot into the bootloader unlock wasn't even explained. Now im trying to remember pressing both volume up and down at the same time while plugging in the usb. Than explain you'll have a bootloader unlock splash screen on reboots that is new Samsung has never done that I wish they would get rid of it.

Im trying all possible combinations to hard kill it after flashing TWRP with odin so people who aren't able to hit the buttons fast enough can shut it down and than turn it on right into TWRP for their first boot and that will work like Ive done on my S7 makes it super easy no mistakes. I'm sorry but the instructions imply that its the same thing as it always is and its completely different now really and there's no detail im surprised anyone got this rooted if you are new. I think you'd have to disable the wake on plug feature with adb if you could than maybe it wouldn't reboot after shutting down. Has anyone figured out a way to get through the process faster than 7 days?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] prototovsky:
Yes :)

Why format data with rooting it? Its because its encrypted so you want to wipe everything than disable encryption with the kernel and disable zip. Things dont read in TWRP if you leave encryption on so you cant make backups if I remember. If you have any more questions hit me back I know these threads get cold at times you'd think they dont sit online all day waiting for notifications I always try even if I dont know the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tin2404:
" Update process ended with signal: 11"

I found it also on Google...but problem is there is no updater script on stock ROM neither in TWRP..Therefore, I presume something wrong about mounting is in TWRP script inside it. What is confusing...on ALL my other devices TWRP works excellent...except on T860.

But bigger problem is I don't know how to edit TWRP image because that knowledge is beyond my stupidity.

I found something here to check ,so if Mentalmuso or anyone can look up and try to rebuild our T860 TWRP

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
I know what you mean last year I got my first PC and I wanted to build Roms and recoveries. So I dual booted Ubuntu 14 and I was able after about 3 weeks to build a Rom for my Nexus 6 and S2 tablet. I however cannot build TWRP the instructions Dees Troy has on the TWRP are crap It doesnt explain anything for newbies it would be like if you already knew what how a little. It should be easier than a Rom. I have looked on youtube for videos they are either fake, not english, or they just tell you how to build one thats already been built. Because if you look into building its a lot of coping and thats fine but I built roms that already had the device tree, Kernel , and vendor blob from the muppets github. I dont know how to change anything. Needless to say I was thinking it would be fun and I could find help on XDA but the developers dont help they want to be the only ones that know because they take pride in it and don't want everyone able to do it. Also I use a TLC TV with HDMI and ubuntu went out of the screen resolution and Ive spent weeks at a time trying commands to get it back and it wont. So I would have to buy a monitor that would work and Im 0 income at the moment. Its honestly just a pain in the ass I love rooting and modding to death. I thought I spent 12 hours a day on my devices and I got 500mbs internet with a brand new PC I can build a rom in about 2 hours total including downloading over 100gb of source codes to build should be a new hobby and I got no pleasure off making a rom because it was a nightmare learning when theres no real guides and everyone you ask will say I dont spoon feed newbs. I would love to help out but actually im on TWRP 13 of his and I havent had one flaw. Can ask what are flashing or doing when it gives you the error? Ill try it on mine.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

I've never had a brand new flagship and I been pretty amazed at how good this tablet is. I love the Spen for a remote while watching videos. I think battery life is insane for how fast it is and I also love the Spen translate you can just hover over top and itll turn the language into whatever you set it for. The speakers are amazing. Im super impressed with the tablet I really thought I might not be. I figured its all the same on every device. Really love this tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ElsaReyes:
Quick question. I checked the twrp download link just now and saw that the td1 kernel is now in the old folder, and the newest kernel is tc7. So I'm confused, didn't the C7 rom come out before the D1 rom? Is the C7 applicable to all Android 10 updates or do I need to go back to C7?

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Do you know maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Yes your right the C7 rom came out before the D1 rom. I haven't moved up to android 10 yet. My thought would be that the C7 was remade because he liked the C7 kernel better. For whatever reason maybe D1 kernel wasn't as good. I don't know for sure this is where the developer would have to explain it to make sure. Only dont count on that if there was a bug or something.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Ok if you go to the telegram link on the opening post it'll lead you to the discussion it seems like there are problems with the latest kernel with the 865 LTE model but maybe also the 860 but I havent seen anyone say they have problems yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] smartymcfly:
I am not entirely sure. Most apps are backed up through Google now, there is no need to backup anything for that. Then the kernel has to flashed through Odin anyways and there are no custom roms to flash so there are no very many things if any that need a custom recovery to flash when there are apps that can do it without booting to recovery... Then add to that the wonky way of booting up and it makes even more sense to not have twrp installed. On old devices I did not want to keep the device encrypted because there was a noticable difference in performance, that is no longer the case, so why not use it?

There is also Android 11 coming up and as far as it appears right now, TWRP's days are numbered because dynamic partitioning is required for all new devices that will run Android 11. A/B devices on 10 with dynamic partitioning already have adapted to not having twrp. Pixel 3 on Android 10+ and Pixel 4 do not have twrp. I wouldn't count the twrp team out, just that that it looks like the future is no custom recoveries.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tin2404:
Thank you. I will be very happy if you can assist.I am also on his latest TWRP 13 and it works in all other occasions excellent..

btw. I tried all versions of TWRP because I am desparate..I am using on daily basis AROMAFM FILE MANAGER from here...https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 for manipulating with files inside ROMs. For example, copy/paste from aromafm is 80% faster for large files or folders with multitude of files.Or, in flashing ROMs you can previously debloat them on low level from TWRP even before you flash ROM on device, you can edit/copy/delete/move files not accessible from ROMs..etc.

Here you have in attachment 2 flashable files (latest one is 2.00b7) what I use in my NotePro 12.2 tablet, S2tab, S8+,S10+ and Note10+...everywhere it works.Just to mention, I used all versions but this one works the best across all android versions and devices EXCEPT T860.

It is an excellent recovery file manager which gives you possibilities to do some things which are mostly impossible inside ROM file managers apps.

I checked in terminal emulator and my device is system-as-root, not A/B.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Sweet I haven't used this before I always wished there was a file manager for TWRP better than the stock TWRP one. This does seem to suggest what could be wrong. When your debloating the system what do you remove? Im guessing you've changed something in the system that is causing the TWRP not to work right. Like I said if you plug in an OTG flash drive do a backup and pull it out when you go to flash a magisk module it'll give error because its unable to mount the OTG cable and it doesn't find it. Im going to try this out

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Well ok than it seems logical to not use A TWRP. I was unaware that people would use google now for app back ups. This is the first I've heard of that. I agree I used to always avoid encryption because of lag but it probably would be not noticeable with the tablet or new phones. I do think though its still very hard to work inside TWRP with encryption. I tried it 1 time on my moto g4 and the entire internal was 0mb and it wouldn't flash anything or make backups. But if thats not a problem for you than yes it could make sense now. Im a big fan of on board backups. I dont have to wait for cloud to download all my apps and use data. I like to be as self sufficient as possible. I personally love TWRP I hope it doesn't go away in later years. I would hate to have to flash stock firmware and reroot my tablet instead of a backup with root and all my apps ready to go. I think its really up to the person I can see not having TWRP actually to. I personally would like to see online added to TWRP and be able to restore your rom from a cloud. How cool would that be? No need to have a SDcard so now OnePlus 8 would be the winner. Ive they could do an internet connection in the recovery It would be so great. I think they could to but it would be hard. I dont know about the dynamic partitions im going to look into that thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tin2404:
No.

I know what I am doing. OTG doesnt have anything with that error code because I dont use it anyway..

.As I said...same procedures on ALL my devices...everything works fine on all devices ,except that TWRP in T860..Therefore, problem is something inside that TWRP for T860 because TWRP for all other devices works fine.

Googleing about that error code 11 didnt give any solution either.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
I wasnt saying its your otg error I was giving an example. Like right now on my S7 im making a backup and getting E:recv error on unevent. Which I have no clue why its just a normal backup. Its still working though. I dont get the error with twrp but im not on android 10. If anyone else is getting error code 11 let us know thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] d.cortez:
no, i'm not kidding. i asked because i have a Tab S6 (865 model), with Android 10 / One UI 2.1 with TWRP installed and was concerned there could be issues i'm not aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] altae:
The TWRP for the Galaxy Tab S6 SM-T865 does support encryption right? I've got everything up and running, device is rooted, TWRP is working and I also did a system backup. If I want to re-enable encryption to protect my data in case I lose the tablet can I simply encrypt the device again in the settings? Or is there something I have to pay attention to?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tin2404:
Yes there are issues unfortunally:(

I don't know for T865, but in T860 for sure. You can download my aromafm.zip and try to load it in your TWRP...If you get ERROR11 you have same unstabillity problem in device between recovery and kernel as I do.

I think Techguy is right...There is problem between TWRP and stock kernel related.

Joking aside, maybe someone else can use their own initiative to create a thread to explain these basic steps in preparation to modify this device. I never expected to be alone in here. I'm also not very good at spoon feeding.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Well I understand that but I see what you did was just left the instructions simple or basic and copied and pasted to all the Samsung devices your working on. So with that said I understand your very busy. Well now that I've posted on it you it's at least been said. It's unfortunate Samsung had to add all the security features. I mentioned the spoon feeding in another comment.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

If you do that when you go into TWRP it will show 0mb internal it's like TWRP is blinded to your internal storage. It can't flash zips in recovery to. At least not when I did it years ago. You lose alot with encryption. No one cares what your doing on Facebook or how much porn you watch. Lol I actually don't even put a pin on my tablet it's wide open.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Well as far as I know I know like the one guy said 860 is problematic at the moment so I am thinking to proceed with caution with 865. However worse case you flash stock and your good to go .
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Nothing special at all I spent 5 hours downloading it on sammobile and I figured Id do everyone the favor so you dont have to download it. Most threads all use the XAR United States at it comes out that way everyone is on the exact same firmware just to be safe. The other samsung firmware downloader is fast but it encrypts the zip and decrypts its. Again adding potential for extra problems. Ive always used sammobile and its never failed.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Great I didn't figure you would but I would feel bad if I said no and than you did. Did you decide to go without encryption? Did you try the kernel 5.3 tc7? If you did it boot?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
There is absolutely no issue with T860
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] altae:
Well too bad. Since I take notes on the tablet at work and also access my business e-mail account/ calendar, being able to encrypt the device would have given me peace of mind in (the unlikely) case I lose the tablet. But fair enough, I'll have to do without encryption. Thanks for your answer anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
You can always use external sd unencrypted, and put the flashing zips and other things needed to be viewed in twrp on that

Thats a good call because really if you have your S-pen set up as smart unlock and leave it on your desk all the security features a blown right out the window. Knowing that though I still leave it for unlocking I love the spen. Translator is great all though Russian is really confusing its like short choppy english and I get the main idea of whats being said though.

I should mention Ive heard of TWRP being able to work properly with encryption on some devices and that would be awesome but I dont know how they do it. I just hated thinking I would flash a zip in recovery and be meet with error system didnt find it or something its a real pain in the butt.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] smartymcfly:
Has anyone tried to put the files they need to read in twrp via root file explorer or adb in /data/

The encryption for pixel 2 or pixel 3 prior to Android 10, when the first twrp versions were released they couldn't unencrypt so all of the files were just a bunch of random numbers. Also I don't believe that twrp was actually flashed it was just booted one time to flash what was needed. The only way to see anything that was readable was to put the files into /data/ and flash, it can`t read the files but it could still write what is to be flashed. I only ever used to flash a custom kernel and magisk though, I don't know if you flash anything else that way or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MissMarilyn:
I'd like to apologize if I sound like an annoying fool due to my lack of "know how" - but I'd like to ask if the issues have been worked out and I can successfully root my new T860 tablet with these files and instructions?

I know some people in the comments ran into load (and other issues) before and Im feeling a kind of anxious.

Ive only ever rooted one phone in the past, in which I followed a video tutorial to do so. And even then Im still not 100% sure how I did it lol

I appreciate all of the love and work that goes into you making these guides, files, ETC and I want to express how thankful I am to you and for XDA in general.

Again, pardon me for being a noob but I really dont want to make a mistake with a new tablet.
