PM SENT.

Yup. Been there. Done exactly that. I fixed it by subscribing to SamMobile, then paying for and downloading the OEM firmware. That's probably the best news, You can always get back to a box-stock condition. If you have the patience, you can download the firmware for free.

EDIT: Once I got back to stock, I looked for and found:

DAMMIT! I keep forgetting we have two different tabs. Obviously Klimtwifi is wrong for you.

lineage-14.1-20200321-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi, installed it with Odin3_v3.11.2 (Not sure it matters.)

Then rooted it using Odin: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/android-basics-root-with-cf-auto-root-0167401/

And, once rooted, installed the Official TWRP app from Google Play. I always use the next older version of TWRP (twrp-3.3.0-0-klimtwifi) because TWRP doesn't like me much.

Then, rebooted into recovery and flashed GApps (open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20200417)

FWIW - This is from feeble memory, and I still have all the files - both those that worked and those that didn't - all in the same folder. So if something doesn't work for you, I've got what worked for me.

All said, getting LineageOS on this thing was far, far simpler that trying to get it back to stock.

IS A build guide available ??

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE is no longer maintained.

I just thought I’d switch to android 4.4 ....

The problem comes from the loss of boot files?

This should get you where you want to be: http://www.lineageosdownloads.com/download-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-lte-lineage-os/

I'm not sure what caused the problem in the first place. I was just very relieved to see it boot when i got the stock ROM back on it.

Did you restore yours back to stock? It's good practice.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tex_kit:
Good morning,

The tablet is Hungarian (made search via samsung and s n), I install unique files (extension .md5).

installed the version K.K. 4 , the only novelty the presence during the first restart of the colored logo, performed manual restart and hard reset /wipe ,

At the end it remains with the Samsung logo bright intermittently (Samsung logo power etc.etc.). Found the multifile firwarware.

Odin does not recognize extension . enc4 and (oddly ) I find nothing to extract Files...

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wellersl:
Did you find your model number on the SamMobile website? That's really where you need to start. Once you have the correct OEM firmware, using Odin to install it is a no-brainer. You need to get back to stock before you can move on to custom.

What is your complete model number?

Send me a private message. I think I may be confused and am causing you extra confusion.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tex_kit:
Good morning,

Downloaded and installed the latest version SM-T805_t805xxu1cpl1_marshmallow(Android 6.0.1)_Xeh_factory Rom (4 File)_20170111.zip.enc4. (decrypted with an earlier version of samfirm (3.9 ).

the installation procedure of the 4 files, AP, BL, CP, CSC, does not involve problems.

Unfortunately at the end of the procedure the Tablet does not restart automatically, and after its hard wipe reset remains locked on the initial logo samsung always bright intermittently.

During the tests I noticed that holding down the power button tries to start. The second samsung logo stands out completely but does not pass the stage.

The feeling he can’t make it.

A new PIT file?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tex_kit:
Good morning, first of all

I want to thank you for your patience and time.

Performed yet another installation test with Odin this time with Android 5 (XEH-T805XXU1BOJ1-20151111094815) similar result, you have precedents.

But with a novelty

.At the end of the installation, the tablet remains off, as in the pretending tests, I try to start it normally but nothing, in addition to the ever-present Logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) flashing intermittently.

I press the power button for several seconds with the result of making the second samsung logo appear (colored) with an Android loading start, release the button, the device turns off.

By re-activating the flashing logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) normally.

Holding down the power button starts

Android update - optimization of the accompanying application (192 tot), a few minutes later always with the power pressed, the process ends and the installation of applications begins, after a few seconds, the first APP starts., the tablet turns off.

By turning it on again and the intermittent luminous logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) reappears.

Repeating the procedure (power button pressed continuously) you get colored samsung logo and the writing (alkalmazàsok telepitèese) installation of applications and turns off.

I perform a wipe data / factory reset obtaining:

--wiping data—

Formatting / data ...

Formatting / cache ...

Formatting / sbfs ....

E: unknow volume for path [/ sbfs]

E: unknow volume "/ sbfs"

Complete data wipes.

I run reboot system now.

The tablet turns on with the intermittently lit Logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S).

By repeating the whole procedure previously described, no changes are obtained.

Neither Google nor I understand that phrase. Do you?

Irrespective of that, I'm at my wit's end. And, assuming you're following the published directions, you may be looking at a hardware failure.

Just to confirm, before all this started for you, this was a working tablet?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tex_kit:
good morning,

the tablet was working, during a game session started to reboot, always and only with the logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) bright intermittently, performed hard reset, I did not fix anything. The only news, these days, after Odin, is the complete installation of android 5 with the power key pressed all the time.releasing the tablet key turns off . At the next power on I get the logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) bright intermittently.

thank you for your patience and professionalism

Arrived in Italy.

Camera Api 2 not supported :(
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] n0b0dy666:
I haven't test it in full (obviously) but there are already some annoying glitches...

No problems for me so far. Loving it

What kind of glitches?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
on mine i can't remove the top most notification on settings (customize your a2 phone with wallpapers, blabla)

L.E. and the notification led was broken for a bit, fixed itself after a few restarts.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] x_avier:
No boot loop (I was afraid)

It took about 5 minutes to restart, after password took about 3 minutes with the message your phone is starting, and it restarted again, then everything is fine.

*Camera API2 not enabled, (Though this would be it but...Xiaomi)

*the downloads issue from past update is gone

*camera seems fine,

*there's this app called "Device Personalization Services" which just crashes, it can be unistalled though

*persistance Custumize your Mi A2 message at the top of settings (can't dissmiss it?)

Everything else seems fine so far.

Gestures in third party launchers don't work
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 6931281:
So I've installed it, here are some important points worth mentioning :

1- no camera 2 api

2- no ARCore

3- The device personalisation services which is the app responsible for app suggestions in app menu and smart replies etc. is now visible via app menu and it shouldn't

4- Google play music is now force installed, you could uninstall it in pie and Oreo

5- remember how we complained about xiaomi not adopting to new Google material design guide lines by making dialog corners edgy ? Well it became seriously worse, everything is pointy and I don't like it

6- Google Assistant gestures are not working

7- all new features are working pretty well including new gestures and system wide dark mode and new theming options in developer options, tho unlike pixels system wide dark mode doesn't apply at boot screen

8- I suspect there's again some noises coming from camera, better check that yourself

9- there's an annoying banner in settings about some suggestions which you can't get rid of , possibly because of Device Personalisation Services app being faulty

10- if you have 2 users set on your phone you can't see the user switcher until you turn it on and off in settings

11- The security patch is still from December so expect another OTA in near days before next month which possibly includes bug fixes and January patch

12- some quick step ( default launcher ) features aren't working, you wanna guess which ? You're damn right, the ones related to Device Personalisation Services.

13- a lot of lagging, well there's nothing really there to say about it, is it? Expect some annoying lags.

14- the trusted face option is removed from smart Lock so you can't unlock your device with face recognition at the moment.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] iluvatrix:
What about disabling Device Personalisation app?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
i'll add a few bits:

- no longer says charging quickly (i hope it's just a display thing and still fastcharges)

clear cache on the device personalization services and it should stop crashing on load (still doesnt open, but wont see the force close)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] carlosm182:
Bluetooth is not working to me :(

Anyone can confirm?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
nope, working here
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 6931281:
Hi, I don't think you should disable it, well you can uninstall it but that would be pointless. Device Personalization Services is an app which was present in OS since Android pie and it has always been hidden as a part of system apps, now due to a bug it's not working and it's being shown in apps list like any other app

Multimedia audio doesn't seem to work yet the other audio channels seem fine, anyone else?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] q0kHaN:
1- requires device with pie release(ours oreo)

2- arcore with sdm660 ? hell no

Bluetooth problems...just go Developers options...Disable bluetooth A2DP hardware offload...solved.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] BtB:
I have not done any change to my phone (no root, no unlocked bootloader, no GCAM, .....). Pure stock, and just OTAs.

Still, I have bluetooth bug and poor WiFi bug. And I had download bug in previous update.

So I generally agree that a lot of people complaining in those forums are people who tinkered with their phone and then complain, you can't remove the fact that last 2 updates where catastrophic.

dunno if due to the poor wifi... But some games fail to install (carx, carx2, assoluto racing, ...).

These apps kinda install (they appear on the device), but playstore throws an error at the end of the download, and if I try to open them, they just hang...

Already factory resetted the phone trying to fix the slow wifi...

Now not only I still have poor wifi, but osme of my games won't install LOL

Any ideas?

Update in India?

Anyone from India received the update?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] vijaymk:
Not yet waiting waiting....
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
"Successfully" updated. Wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, camera, and other basic functions are working fine. Just the Device Personalization Services, Google apps (music, movies, etc.), and especially the unpolished user interface really annoy me. I will dig deeper into this update, settings-by-settings, apps-by-apps, and I hope there's no more bugs. I am a stock android user and I didn't flash any custom ROMs before but if these bugs are still present in the future updates, I might consider to try the Pixel Experience ROM.

Edit: I was impressed because it seems that the performance buffed up. I tried to play some demanding games and the loading time reduced significantly. Just deal with the bugs, Xiaomi. Btw my device has 4GB/64GB.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] akforever:
Same here

I think the global Version will receive it then the indian Version as the indian Version of Mi A2 is diffrent
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] motorindam:
How is the Indian version different apart from QC 4.0 charge support? That is a hardware feature i guess.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ChuckleSyrup:
Anybody encountered with charging problem? Mine says "charging slowly", i use official charger and cable that came with the phone.

Never have such problem when using pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ixyco96:
have u tried different electrical outlet?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] HRSE:
that difference can be equivalent to a 10min job or even a 1 day job. The driver code can be different, the text / sound / animation can be different, the battery temperature is different so testing is also different.

Or xiaomi may have finished india version even before global version but decide to release later.

No need to make a big fuss just stay calm and watch out for reported bugs, you may even not want to update immediately when it's available.

Is it software problem or hardware one? Like i said before, i never encountered this problem until last night when i update it to Q

Yeah sure, I've been thinking about that possibility too. If it actually happens, well... What a coincidence lol
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] HRSE:
from what i know, baterry charging speed is not constant, for lithium batt the charging speed is slower when batt is going to full. Also, batt temp will affect charging speed.

You may need to note down these parameters to compare with others.

Last time i used ampere app to get more details on charging.

Yesterday someone reported no mobile data until resetting/re-entering APN
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ChuckleSyrup:
Ahh i see, the battery was slightly warmer when it says "charging slowly". Now is it normal when it just says "charging" and not "charging rapidly" ?

My phone is on 35% now and it says "(3 hours until full)". From my experience when using pie it doesn't takes too long from 35% to fully charged or at least 80%
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] danannnn:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] HRSE:
I've tried a few things but all do not work well:

Clear data of the app com.android.settings.intelligence: the suggestion becomes adding email account

Add email account as suggested: the suggestion doesn't change (I've added a hotmail account)

freeze/disable com.android.settings.intelligence: the suggestion disappears together with the setting search box above it

Need expert's solution for this

Or wait for xiaomi's fix

EDIT: i've found a workaround:

open the pref file at

/data/data/com.android.settings.intelligence/shared_prefs/suggestions.xml

and edit two values to true as below:

<boolean name="com.google.android.gm/com.google.android.gm.setup.AccountSetupFinalGmailSuggestions_is_dismissed" value="[B]true[/B]" />
<boolean name="com.android.settings/com.android.settings.notification.ZenSuggestionActivity_is_dismissed" value="[B]true[/B]" />

attached is the modified file

you will need root to access/modify the file

Probably only one value is needed to be changed instead of two, but I'm lazy to try.

before factory reset... i had change wallpaper notification.

It's my second factory reset since yesterday.

First was to try to understand the wifi issue (tried with no account/restore), wifi was still slow.

Then with my account... some apps wouldn't install..

So today I did a factory reset again to fix the apps.

So now that notification is about adding another account :silly: but before was about changing the wallpaper, annoying nonetheless

The only bug i'm still facing is slowwww wifi
