[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sd_dracula:
I have installed the ones linked at the top of this post. Is that the reason why is happening?

Is it not strange that when I am not in recovery and just booted to normal android and try to connect to my PC it also happens?

Hooked up my Samsung phone and Odin picked it up instantly - thinking the usb port on the table is gone and is only charging now. If that happened there is no way to TWRP without it right?

I'll look for those drivers thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] srgrusso:
Try these drivers and let me now if they fix your problem.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fjPf4m7XXmj2qIj4IO9_AO4LYYZfZnfG

Also you can try cleaning your usb port with a small piece of plastic or a pin. They can get packed with dirt sometimes. Also try a different cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sd_dracula:
Tried them too but it looks like the usb port is damaged and needs replacing :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sd_dracula:
Got my usb port fixed, OEM unlock in dev mode, ran odin along with the twrp-3.3.1-1-gtaxlwifi.img.tar file but it doesn't seem to work. Tried twice and this is what I get after powering on with Power + Home + Up Volume which seems like the default bootloader?

Odin completed ok too. Any idea why it won't take?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
It probably is taking but getting immediately overwritten because you are allowing it to reboot into the system. When you flash TWRP with Odin, you need to click Option and uncheck the auto reboot. Then, after flashing, hold the Home, Vol down and Power buttons until the screen goes black. Then, VERY quickly switch from Vol down to Vol up until the Samsung logo screen appears. Then release the Power button while still holding Vol up and Home and the tablet will boot into TWRP. After that, you can reboot system and TWRP will remain as the recovery app.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sd_dracula:
Yup that did the trick, thanks :)

How can I make a full backup of stock OS using TWRP? Is it safe to restore from that backup in the future if needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
You can't. The data partition is encrypted and TWRP can't handle it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sd_dracula:
Ok so the only way would be to install the official ROM again right?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
There are backup apks in Play Store. You just can't use TWRP. Typically, people install TWRP because they want to root and use custom ROMs. Before using TWRP to flash custom ROMs, you must first format the data partition to get rid of the encryption. But that erases EVERYTHING on it. Including any saved video, audio, pictures or apps. Even Google apps. But remember, by installing TWRP, you have already tripped knox, so you won't be getting any further updates from Samsung.

If you really want a stock ROM that you can backup with TWRP, it might be possible to format the data partition and then flash the stock opengapps for the version of stock ROM, probably ARM 32bit 8.1. But I don't know of anyone whose tried it. Of course, you need to backup any data you want to save and reinstall any Play Store or sideloaded apks you are using.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sd_dracula:
Plan is to try a couple of custom ROMs and if any issues go back to one of these: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a/firmware/SM-T580/ that shouldn't be a problem right?

Also I have wiped data which cleared everything and then when I tried to go wipe dalvik/system/data/cache in preparation for LineageOS, but it keeps failing because of /data, still encrypted after the initial format?

Why does it not work?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] srgrusso:
Did you choose the format Data option in the wipe screen? You should have typed yes to confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sd_dracula:
Got it sorted in the end, the problem was I had booted to the OS after wiping that instead of just installing the zip which solved it, thx
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Lonnie Reeder:
So glad I was directed to this forum thx [MENTION=8017005]srgrusso[/MENTION]. I flashed the official version of TWRP using the TWRP app from the app store and it work just like it was supposed to. Thank for suggesting I give it a try. I will be using it go forward, to verify, backup and update my TWRP from the official web site. Thanks again for all you do for the T580 device, you have breath new life and interest into this device for me. I love playing around with now.

Does it work on sm-p585
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I get sick and tired of answering this question. The T58x and the P58x are entirely different tablets. They don't even use the same SoC. Look up TWRP for SM-P585 to find what works for your tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] raphael mark:
They are the same the only difference is p580 and p585 has spen while t580 and t585 don't

tab a t585

i have tab a t585 with T585XXS5CSH1 android 8.1 official. i need to downgrade it to 7.0 so that i can increase internal storage with sd card.

is there any other way so that i can format sd card as internal storage or only way is i can downgrade it to 7.0 then ?

please please please help me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nimueh:
That has absolutely nothing to do with TWRP - I suggest you ask in your rom thread or check the general Q&A

section.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] seandpa:
Hi all, I have, hopefully, installed twrp correctly, but when I tried to do a backup of my stock Rom I had error messages saying failed to Mount! Should I have done a full wipe in twrp first?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Backup in TWRP doesn't work with the encrypted data partition and wiping doesn't help. You have to use the format data option, but when you do, it erases EVERYTHING on the partition. Photos, videos, downloads etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] seandpa:
Thanks [MENTION=4034185]lewmur[/MENTION], thats what I thought I needed to do. So if I do the format data option, ill be able to do backup before installing a custom Roman and twrp will remain as recovery? I don't need anything like verity installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I don't know. I've never tried backing up stock with TWRP. Always used app to backup to PC. Only use TWRP for custom ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] seandpa:
OK, which app do you use for backups?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
It's been so long since I've backed up a stock ROM, I don't even recall. But I know a lot of people use Titanium.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] SuperHiro16:
is this compatible with p580?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ps_minky16:
[MENTION=8017005]srgrusso[/MENTION] i updated my tab to latest china march 2020 release via odin. And now twrp doesnt seem to work. Odin always fails to flash it. I cant downgrade. So i am struck here on china stock without recovery. Any inputs would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] srgrusso:
What do you mean Odin always fails to flash it? That Odin errors out or it doesn't show up after flashing? Have you tried different versions of Odin? Try the newest one if that doesn't work try older versions. I

have't had stock on my tablet for at least a couple of years now.

Hello, sorry to annoing, my t585 can't boot in download mode, did jig usb works on this tab model?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] antoine62:
I think, just try, if it can boot to the os reboot to download using adb, or do the combo for 15s.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] srad99:
thanks Antoine, yes it can boot to the os but i don't know the pin, it can boot in recovery mode but hard reset doesn't works, already try adb but isn't able to reboot in download mode, jig usb is my last chance and I'm looking for someone who has already try or can give me other solution...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] srgrusso:
Please post a seperate thread for this since this is devoted to twrp and twrp specific issues.

Did you try adb reboot bootloader in twrp? Also to be clear the button combination you are using is holding home+power+volume down at the same time until it reboots and are still holding it as it reboots. Also you may be able to try this https://************/delete-android-security-pin/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] dunhill_:
Hi,

Does the twrp can be installed on T585 with firmware Oreo 8.1.

I hear that if this device has been updated OTA from 7.0 Nougat to Oreo 8.1, the bootloader will be locked and there is no way to unlock

Thanks in advanced
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Lebedew:
Hi Guys,

i have a Problem, it simply doesn't work. I did everything like it's mentioned in the first post. OEM Unlock, Download Mode, flash with Odin (Success!), but my SM-T585 still boots into the stock recovery. What's wrong here?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] srgrusso:
Did you boot directly into TWRP before you booted into Android?. The stock rom will overwrite TWRP if you don't boot into recovery right after you flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Lebedew:
Yepp, that was the problem. Got it working now :)

Thanks!

This is such a bs guide... all of them are... every one of them asking me to download multiple possibly dangerous files.. not one mentions there is no ****ing physical home button on the newer tab a.. not one mentions that even with oem unlocked it will still block the .tar file ... this is such a waste of time .. stop promising you have methods that work when its all bs..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nimueh:
This TWRP is NOT for the newer Tab but ONLY for the 2016 versions, SM-T580 + SM-T585 - the one WITH a physical Home button! None of those files are "dangerous" and the .tar file works just fine in Odin.

Don't download stuff that's not for YOUR device but find the guide + downloads for YOUR device - then if you follow the guides properly you won't have any issues.

@Nimueh can i do anything with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nimueh:
No idea what MDM even is, so not sure why you singled ME out here?

I'd suggest heading to the Guides Section and checking if there's one for your scenario. Alternatively ask in the Q & A Section of our tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
There is no viable way to install TWRP in that state, without download mode. Even if you could try to install it through some other way, to boot TWRP, you must have the bootloader unlocked. I suggest taking your device to the organisation (or whatever) which enrolled your device into their MDM, and ask them to remove it if possible, or if you bought it from somewhere, return it and get a refund - you're not going to be able to do anything about it.

It's Mobile Device Management - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_device_management

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Don't use the TWRP app. It's garbage. Now, you have to either install it using the tar archive - available to download from TeamWin's site - in download mode using Odin (or alternatively Heimdall if you're not using Windows), or by running this in a shell with root access:

dd if=/sdcard/path/to/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/13540000.dwmmc0/by-name/RECOVERY

Replace "/sdcard/path/to/twrp.img" with the actual path to an image file for TWRP.

By the way, @Nimueh was referring to TWRP recovery. You could've used the "Install image" option in the install function in TWRP to write the image file for TWRP to the recovery partition to install it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nimueh:

Since you report that it can boot if it's connected to power using a USB cable, that, along with the display flashing visible in your video, would suggest that your battery is going bad. That isn't a software-related issue.

One day when starting Youtube app I got the message that I need to update the app and the next one was that the latest version is not compatible with the device anymore. So i intalled older version, menaged to open it, but now videos doesnt load at all, there are stuck at buffering forever. I've tried installing couple of even older versions but it didnt help at all. Same thing happens in Chrome when I try to watch youtube via the website. The built in update app says the device is already running on latest version

Is there a way of using device with Android 6 to work with Youtube ? Some modified version of the app maybe ?

Also does youtube check server side which version of app is trying to access it, then and allows only latest clients as a form of forcing people to buy new gear ?
