Well, it's been a week and a half (sorry about the extra wait time - the pandemic really messed things up over here) but I finally have the tablet in possession.

I was about to start your advice to unlock the bootloader before you gave further instruction and.....to my surprise, the model is different.

I got the tablet via T-Mobile, and this version doesn't get calls or text (unless I link it to my samsung phone, which requires using the Samsung account....and I believe someone said that triggers Knox?).

So the model is:

SM-T867U

I can enable "USB Debugging" but there is no "OEM Unlock" option in the developer menu.

I did a google search which gave me basically no info I could understand (and there wasn't much).

But I think this might be a version that I can't unlock bootloader, which means I cant root?

Here are some specifications:

Model Number: SM-T867U

Version: Android 9

Security Patch: Feb 1, 2020
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
I build kernels using the latest source code. They aren't outdated. TC7 source code covers TC and TD firmware, and most likely will cover the TE firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
You can't root or do anything without oem unlock. You are probably stuck with an unrootable device. I could be wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
Just unmount system before flashing magisk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
Keeping twrp is easy, it's really not that complicated to update.

Until autoreboot and Update everything using Odin

Flash TWRP .tar

Boot into twrp

Reflash kernel, enc disabler and magisk before booting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
Nice to see installing TWRP and rooting is much simpler on snapdragon!

Grabbing my T865 tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
do you mean un-check auto reboot and update everything using odin than without rebooting flash TWRP and than boot into TWRP?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MissMarilyn:
That's what I was afraid of.

Thanks for your input!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Ill try that thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tin2404:
I have noticed that when I checked your download source and big thank you and respect for helping us.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
Oh my GitHub? Yeah I haven't updated that for a bit
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
I'm finding less time and energy at the moment so it may be best for me to update my GitHub just in case I'm missing in action for a bit. (newborn baby on deck) I'll try and get stupid to it this week.

Is it possible that your android 10 kernel wont boot because of this? I ran across

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s10/sa...ynos/g97xf-multi-disabler-encryption-t3919714

Process authentication (a.k.a. proca): This service must be disabled in order to use a custom kernel without problems. All devices with TWRP utilise a custom kernel for Android, because the same kernel is shared by Magisk to boot the system.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
i patched the TWRP to the corresponding sec patch date (March on T865) and am using the TWRP without issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Ok sounds great. Im not a 100 percent sure how it works Ive built roms but could never finish a TWRP because im not the best at reading and the TWRP instructions from DeesTroy are so awful there not instructions he doesnt want people to be able to do it. None of the really good developers do they like being like oh look at me im a big developer. Lets be honest android is hard its not easy to build but technically most 90 percent of devs are coping someone else's coding. Which is great and thats what its supposed to be but man some devs get pissed like android belongs to them and it doesnt. Like right now for the S7 Floyd rom 2.0 is oneui 2.0 samsung ok the dev writes dont kang. Im thinking thats hypocritical as you steal samsungs codes and apps of their roms to port. You know its stupid.

I gave up its dumb and as people see I have no problem saying what I feel. I think ubuntu sucks I have a hard time with ubuntu harder than source building. I feel making with windows now has improved but technically its going to leave more room for errors and im not that good. So I dont know if TWRP uses the stock kernel from samsung or if its a custom kernel based on any kernel or how that works. I just know that both TWRP and the rom need a kernel

hello everybody,

i succeed to root my tablet all went fine, however after a reboot the tablet went into download mode......any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mp3addict:
Successful in loading Android 10 with 20.4 magisk on a T865 which is stable and very nice. I was wondering if someone was able to make safetynet set both to true and are able to use banking apps. What firmware are you on and what magisk version are you using. I have tried the 3 listed fixes on the magisk site. Unable to use the 2nd one using terminal as i dont see this model on the list.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
once there is more development on the tablet someone (hopefully) will write a mod to hide it. the same needed to be done for the s10
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jhill110:
Thanks for all your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rsktkr1:
Install EdXposed Magisk module for Xposed Framework then install hidden core module Xposed you will than have "true" safety net status.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
very surprised how easy and well this worked, I have had an s10 for so long I can patch the ap file and replace the recovery in my sleep. this was so much easier. great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
ok i have just had the same thing happen to me twice, it was working fine then on a rebot it will only reboot into download mode. After the first time i thought it was possibly caused by a magisk module. so i started from scratch, didnt install any modules this time, and after a day or two of no issues it happened again. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
No I have never had that problem. What zips did you use and what model number? Are you using Edxposed?

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 AM ----------

I was just going back and seen this and figure I'd ask do you and the other guy plan on making a custom kernel or do you already have 1?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
ill look into this
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
SM-T860 on T860XXU2BTF2 with TWRP 3.3.1-13. I'm not using Edxposed. I was happy to see that the restored function worked. I had just recently backed up. At first i thought it was a magisck module, bit i didn't add any the second time it happened. The only other things I added that I am going to try use it without to isolate the problem is vanced youtube and quick reboot. I think the second time it happened i used quick reboot (which works very well for getting into recovery mode) to boot to system and then i couldn't boot into anything but download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
I do know that reboot apps are using a depricated way to reboot Samsung devices. Not sure why noone is updating their apps, but you might notice, when you reboot using simple reboot, the screen dims and freezes before rebooting. This is because it's basically like pressing and holding your reboot button on your PC instead of properly shutting the system down. I'm not saying this is the cause of your issues but who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
thanks i am thinking it is a possibility. I wont use it again. if i need to get into twrp i will use the volume up and power button instead and see if this solves it. thanks for your work and help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bartleby999:
The official TWRP manager app can reboot directly to recovery. That's what I use whenever I want to boot to recovery, much easier than the button combination and works flawlessly.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
Wow tanks I'll try that
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bartleby999:
For reasons unknown to me, it doesn't like Landscape mode natively so you'll have to use it in Portrait Mode. If that's a problem for you (like it is with me) you can get an app that can force it to rotate and it then works fine in Landscape too. I use this one (from a recognised XDA developer) if you're interested...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation

In fact, as someone who uses thier tablet exclusively in Landscape mode, that's an excellent app - I use it on lots of apps that do not seem to like to work in Landscape for the S6 - Reddit, Xbox among others.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
thanks again, i will have to try that with the instagram
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
That is a great app I used to use another one but this one is really good.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

Does anyone here know how to make other rooted phones or tablets appear to be Samsung devices to install Samsung apps? I'd like to think there's a way as people use to use pixel magisk module and build probs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tensux:
shoot it just happened again, this time all i did was uninstall the briefing app using system app remover pro lol. i was careful not to use the app to reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Unfortunately since like nougat or oreo system apps have been come really hard to play with. You cant remove them without boot looping on samsung and you can't convert apps to system app normally either. The only way to do it is to use Magisk manager and systemize module which use terminal to convert user apps to system app and than debloat module to remove system apps. I have no idea why the regular apps like system app remover cause problems or why if you convert a user app to system app with an app it disappears or bootloops. In some ways kitkat was the best time for android if you had root access you could control everything without a problem.

I have SM-T866N version. 5G Korean version. it is possible to rooted it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] xnmb:
Flashed TWRP on my T860 now my device's storage shows 32GB capacity instead of 128GB. Anyone else had this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
Yes its usually due to your file explorer. What file explorer are u using? If I got into setting and go to storage its 79.9 used out of 256gb. Because they actually count all the system apps to. If I go into es file explorer its 52.75/228gb. So es file explorer doesnt see the system apps or something but its normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Riamuyumemi:
After flashing everything like in the instructions, my T860 will only boot into download mode, or TWRP if I make it. I'm not sure how to get it to boot to system, is this normal for Samsung devices? I tried once with the kernel, then a few times without the kernel, but it never works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bartleby999:
No, that's not normal - It shouldn't be booting directly to Download nor Recovery.

Are you sure you followed the instructions correctly? What Android Version are you on?

If you're positive you've done it correctly, I'd suggest flashing stock before trying again something may have corrupted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
This almost always comes down to the user not being fully updated, what firmware were you on before attempting
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:

Updated to 3.4.0 twrp

Updated kernel and dtbo (TF2 Android 10 only)

The most recent U.S. one at the time. I'll just flash stock and try again, is it only possible to go back to stock through Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mentalmuso:
I actually think the XAR firmware is behind at the moment. I have a USA device, but am using XEF firmware now. You can swap around the firmware as long as you don't flash t865 firmware on a t860 device or vice versa

Edit actually, xar has TF2.

Hi!

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 T865 LTE, bootloader unlock, Firmware T865XXU4BTI1 - Wi-Fi works

Install TWRP_T865_3.4.0-15, Format data, Flash custom kernel WETA_Kernel_T865-6.1_TF1, Flash encryption disabler Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_05.21.2019, Reboot system - Wi-Fi Does not work, does not turn on.

What am I doing wrong? Help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
I think your the second person to report this Im not sure to be honest. Maybe try staying on stock kernel and flashing the newer Disable dm verity force encrypt. Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip. Or try samsung multi disabler zip 2.4. We dont have a positive answer yet that im aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bartleby999:
BTI1 is OneUI2.5, no? OneUI2.5 has "WIFI improvements" So, just my guess but since Weta kernel hasn't been updated since July, so I'd say it's quite possibly incompatible. Unless someone can confirm to the contrary? I cannot as I'm still on OneUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Goryna:
Ок!

The kernel is standard +Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip, recovery Data +MagiskCANARY = Wi-Fi works

Я think WETA_Kernel_T865-6.1_TF1 breaks Wi-Fi on the new firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
I appreciate when people write back with anything they find you dont always need a log cat to figure out problems. So on stock kernel with magisk canary wifi works yes? So what firmware and region are you on I personally use the TF1 permissive kernel in XAR and it works great. At least we figured it out.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

My apologies yes I didnt see he was on OneUi 2.5 update yes definitely without a doubt the kernel. I feared that because samsung makes it so you always have to have everything right. I havent updated to 2.5 yet myself. How does it work if the security patch is later than the kernel the wifi doesnt work right ? I Can never remember cause im always using custom roms on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bartleby999:
Honestly, I've no idea - I'm certainly not an expert, I kind of learn on the fly from mistakes I've made or seen happen in the past. My only assumption is since OneUI2.5 made improvements and added functions to the WIFI, the system is asking the Kernel to do something that it doesn't recognise, thus WIFI doesn't work.

Again, only my guess though I could be completely wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Techguy777:
So how is OneUI 2.5 treating you? Im wanting to update my tablet but I like having the permissive kernel lol. Im curious if wireless dex is nice?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cbb77:
So question is, is the WETA kernel required? I am rooted with TWRP but running a few versions behind ; forget what version but I believe March security patches if that says anything. In any case I chose to not install the WETA kernel the last time and everything seems to function OK. Curious if this is still the case and WETA kernel is optional.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jhill110:
Well, I'm running Android 10 (T860 wifi) with stock kernel and everything work's perfectly. Although 3.4.xxx won't work on my device... It just won't make a backup. I'm running 3.3.1.1 and all is well.

My S7 is coming in a couple of days and I'll have to wait who knows how long for TWRP but I'll survive with just root. TiBu will have to suffice.

I've been rooting and flashing every android device I've had for over ten years and have never had near the trouble I've had with this tab. I have been working on my tab on and off for two months and while I have the rest completely figured out, I am stuck before I am able to even flash TWRP. Can someone please help?

I keep getting the "only official binaries are allowed to be flashed (recovery)" error. Bootloader is unlocked and I continue to reflash the factory firmware with every version of Odin I can find, along with different firmwares and TWRPs. I keep going back to the original instructions and feel like I am following them meticulously, but this error just keeps popping up. I tried using adb/fastboot and the device was recognized as adb but not as a fastboot device. I've unticked USB debugging, Verify Apps over USB, and reboot the tablet into download manually. I've tried patching the AP file in Magisk Manager, but this fails at the very last moment of the flash each time. The funny thing is I HAD root at one point, but did not flash the decryption disabler so had to to back to original factory unrooted. Internal storage is now un-encrypted.

I've literally tried every combination of every variable I can think of and still no luck on getting root. If anyone can help me get root and twrp back I'll be grateful af THANK YOU
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bartleby999:
Your bootloader isn't unlocked.

You need to unlock your bootloader using OEM switch AND booting into download mode and holding Volume Up to confirm the unlock. Merely switching OEM isn't enough to unlock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nastyneighbor:
Bootloader is unlocked

Thanks for trying but this is not the problem. I've done this and verified unlocked bootloader status before every attempted odin flash.
