I tried the 3.12.7 Odin with no luck. I went back to Odin 3.13.1 and tried a couple of more times with no changes and it finally took the AP for the AQ BTFN and installed it. I need to go back to TWRP and check out a couple of things when Google finishes all its updates. I will root with Magisk and run Multidisabler.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't know what I did to fix the issue!!!!! Persistence I guess, or desperation....

Glad Samsung sent us a an update, but really big thanks to OP for getting this done - the GSI makes it relatively easy but OP really did us good by doing all the work to tune the ROM and make it nice for us, so thanks [MENTION=903232]Magendanz[/MENTION] (do @ mentions work in xda?)

Hi folks,

I just have succesfully converted an 128gb samsung sd card to use as portable storage with this rom (LQ) using this app. Hope it helps.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted

It used sdcardfs as filesystem, yu can't change it's filepermissions and i was not able to use winscp to put files/folders on it. But i can use adb push and i can put it in a pc to write to it.

Hi, wich files do you flash with Odin?

Thanks

Just wanted to give a heads up, the Infinity Kernel has been updated from the new source and works great with this rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] X-Nemesis:
Hi, I just flashed the latest build in TWRP, cleared Dalvik and Cache after and then rebooted. The tablet is now stuck on a black screen with the google logo and a continuous loading bar.

I'm unable to turn the device off as it just loads back into the Nexus boot screen and then back to the loading bar/symbol.

Any recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Hold the vol - and power for about 9 sec. As soon as the screen goes black, switch from vol - to vol + and it will boot to recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Also sounds like you didn't upgrade to Android 10 (T510XXU3BTFN) before you installed the custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] :
I just updated from 20200713 to the latest and I'm stuck similar to above. I have updated a few times in the past using the TWRP method and each time was ok. This latest though now just shows the boot logo and loading bar. I have tried re-installing the zip, wiping various caches etc, I have tried re-installing using the Odin method but can't figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas please?

Edit: gone back to a build from last month, after wiping I managed to get it to work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Just to be clear, moving from Android 9 to Android 10 is not considered an incremental update. You first need to flash the OEM Android 10 release (T510XXU3BTFN) in Odin before applying any custom ROM based on that firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] memz180:
Download the latest version 10 from Samfirm for your device and flash via Odin. Then flash the latest nexus rom via Odin over it. If you dont want to lose your previous files then flash using the HOME_CSC file.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kenaz Rune:
I need clarification. I tried to update from the July release, and also had these problems. This will be the first time I will flash the stock ROM to get an update. Should this be the case? I'd like to avoid a wipe, and especially the FUBAR Odin process.

Separately, where can we find a change log for the stock ROM, and a high level change log for Lineage releases?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Technically, you should always do an update to the underlying OEM build before any custom ROM update. This can be done with Odin and BL + AP + HOME_CSC without wiping the user data partition, then just reboot to Download mode again to install the custom ROM using AP. No need to reboot to system between, and that eliminates the possibility of triggering Samsung's VaultKeeper feature.

That said, for incremental updates it's rare that a kernel/vendor/product update will be dependent on changes to other images in the firmware update (e.g. bootloader, device tree, partition table, omr, cm, etc.), so you can usually just get away with updating those three images (along with the system image) using the .zip file in TWRP. That's just not the case for a major OS update like going from Android 9 to Android 10.

Hi all, is there any way to flash the T510XXU3BTFN via twrp without Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
You can't do it with TWRP because the kernels don't match. And the only way to get TWRP with the BTFN kernel is to first flash T510XXU3BTFN. What's known as a vicious circle.:(

I ran into the same trouble as the others when trying to upgrade from the 20200712-build. Maybe there should be a note in the first post to prevent users from falling for that trap by not knowing about the need to upgrade to the recent OEM-software first.

The German firmware is available on SamFirm, i downloaded it, flashed it via Odin and flashed the ROM right after that. My device is now running again, everything seems fine.

The only thing i noticed is that the splash screen when powering up the device is not the Nexus-one anymore but the "Samsung Tab secured by Knox" one. [MENTION=903232]Magendanz[/MENTION] Can you probably exchange that as it was in the previous versions? Or did something go wrong on my device? Thank you very much in advance for your work.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Bigtwisteronjupiter:
Thanks. I finally flashed back to Samsung stock. And I am planning to use it for awhile.

There is still the bootloader unlocked warning message during boot and while I tried to relock the bootloader. The one unlock option in the developer option is visible but greyed out. Anyway to solve this?

Also even after revert back to stock with a full wipe, Netflix is still not showing in the play store. Does it mean my system is still rooted? If so, it’s possible to unroot it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Roarmaster:
Did you try booting into download mode (while holding + and - volume, plug usb cable with odin on your computer) and selecting unlock/relock bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Bigtwisteronjupiter:
I don’t have easy access to a windows computer. Does it work if I use the Samsung smart switch instead of odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Bigtwisteronjupiter:
Actually, I just tried. I couldn't seem to see the option to relock using this method. The download mode only display pressing power and volume down for 7 seconds to reboot. I wonder if I'm in the correct place.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
The method you used will only get you to download and NOT lock/unlock. You must use the tablet off, USB pluged into PC and, while holding vol up and vol down, plug the cable into the tablet. And, just to lock or unlock, it does NOT have to be a Windows PC with Odin. I just tried it with a Linux PC, and it worked fine. (Heimdall not needed either.) :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Roarmaster:
If you're on Linux or MacOS, you can use heimdall instead of Odin. It's a bit less user friendly, but I've seen some people use it successfully before.

Is "OEM unlock" greyed out for you in developer settings? If it is, try checking for a software update and then check if it is still greyed out. If it's not, then you can shut down your device. Once it's shut down, hold the +&- vol buttons while you plug in a usb cable connected to your PC and you should boot into download mode (the background is cyan color)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
It is "OEM enable", not "OEM unlock". And it has nothing to do with locking and unlocking the bootloader. They are entirely separate issues. You can lock or unlock the bootloader with or without OEM enabled. But if you unlock the bootloader, it does cause a "factory reset" and if you do that without enabling OEM, you will need the Google Account info to get back into the tablet. And if OEM is greyed out, just look a the switch position. It will most probably be in the enabled position and so you don't need to do anything.

Finally updated

I waited a few days, and found the US version, and I procrastinated because I don't have Windows, and didn't want to deal with making my own Heimdall package.

A couple days ago I went ahead, and for whatever reason, I couldn't get the Heimdall packages to flash, so I ended up using my work laptop with Odin and got it done. Even then I had to finesse it. Anyway, I'm finally on the newest build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rw_on_xda:
would have been setting up an Virtual Machine with Windows in it an option ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I can verify that using a Windows Vbox session on Linux DOES work to install from Odin. Make sure you install the extension package and the "additions". Also, you must add your Linux user name to the last line of the /etc/group file and then reboot Linux so that you Vbox session can use the USB port for the tablet.:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kenaz Rune:
Thanks for verifying that. Honestly, if I didn't have my work laptop in front of me, I would have installed a VM, as I used to keep one around for these kinds of things. I just didn't want to take the time and effort if I didn't have to.

The first time I installed this ROM, I did successfully create Heimdall packages and use them, so it can be done. I just did something wrong this time. Mostly, I forgot that in addition to the TWRP zips, I can download the Odin package, so I tried to do a partial from the zip so I could get to TWRP and install the full zip. Fail.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rw_on_xda:
- maybe I'm pedantic -

:angel:

three notes from my side (running Linux (Fedora) for ~20 years):

1. I hadn't mentined to use VBox, if I hadn't test it myself. (some moon's ago, though)

2. regarding group membership:

one can also use in an linux terminal "sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers <your-username-here>"

and a subseq. graphical (!) logoff and logon *is* sufficing to activate the new group membership

NO need to reboot (it's a Linux box) !

3. one should also click the right USB-Port in menue point "Devices" => USB => <Port-with-the-TAB-connected> while the VM is running

otherwise the USB Port is left occupied by Linux

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not going to do it. The built-in speakers on this tablet aren't going to make much of Dolby Atmos.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Aww gee!! Are you trying to tell me that a few little software tweaks can't make my little 10" tablet sound like a multi-million dollar movie theatre? What kind of horrible junk is Samsung trying to pass off?:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ayushagarwal9753:
Yaa but adds a bit to speakers in stock rom, as far as I have realized it. If its easy like flashing a zip, using xposed etc. can you please guide me how can I add? I tried it earlier with different mods but none of them worked :( .
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
I think it's a matter of porting the OEM app (SoundAlive_70.apk) from the original system image over, but there may be other dependencies like SplitSoundService.apk and MultiSoundSetting.apk. Any driver (a.k.a. kernel module) dependencies are probably already present in the vendor partition, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kenaz Rune:
Atmos vs Viper

Well, I think there might be a magisk module. Personally, I use ViperForAndroidFX, and it really improves the onboard sound quite a bit. You can get a decent volume boost and fuller sound - less tinny. Just bump up the output boost, set speaker optimization, and set the equalizer to "small speaker".

Viper is finicky in Android 10. It might take a few tries to get it to work. Install the Audio Modification Library, also in Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
You could also install the LQ release, which has the LineageOS AudioFX app. That should be able to boost the audio a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ayushagarwal9753:
Thanks I'll try that once I get time and report back if that works. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
The tiny speakers in a tablet can only move so much air. Adding enough "bass boost" to make a significant difference is just going to overdrive the speakers and ruin them. "Bite the bullet" and buy a good set of bluetooth earphones.:victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ayushagarwal9753:
I tried that today but as soon as I touch on Dolby Icon in the status bar rom crashes (everything disappears except the status bar which starts blinking). Also tried installing only soundAlive but the result was same.

Viper is good but I am bad at configuring and optimizing it.

I do have a Bluetooth speaker and earphone. But using Dolby will enhance them too?:confused: yaa I know bass boost is not good for speakers health but, I am not going to use them extensively so I guess it's okay to have better sound :confused:

Hello Magendanz

Is there any update of the rom in progress?

Thanks for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] robertozombie:
first of all, thanks for your work [MENTION=903232]Magendanz[/MENTION],

I'm deciding on which of your custom ROMs to install on a SM-T510 tablet.

is it possible to do the following with one of your custom ROMs?

1.- When tablet is connected to USB, powered off and then gets power (when I turn my car on for example), it will turn on and boot directly to android.

2.- When it boots to android, it boots with root privileges automatically (i.e. it doesn't require the vol up + power button combination)

3.- Previous Bluetooth pairings are not forgotten after reboots (I read that there is a bug in some ROMs)

4.- This is not a must, but it would be cool if I can set a charging limit (i.e. the tablet will only be charged to 60% and not 100%, this way the battery is not stressed)

5.- Also not a must, but able to watch Netflix in 1080p.

Thanks in advance

You mean the Android 11 builds? [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION] is continuing with the pre-release builds, but they're not yet really stable and the last one was completely broken. Once these move out of pre-release status, I'll port to the SM-T510, SM-T290 and Mi Pad 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
I spent a few days experimenting with this when working on the cold charging fix. While I could get it to boot "normally" when the charger is connected, the kernel was still disabling the touch screen in LPM mode. So, this is possible, but would require kernel modifications. (Note that LPM does bypass the bootloader warning delay, which I'm sure you would appreciate.)

This is totally possible with a rooted custom ROM. I think most AOSP and LOS GSI ROMs based on [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION]'s builds come with su, which you can remove with securitize.sh script, if desired.

I haven't been tracking this issue, but it's just a bug that I'm sure can be fixed.

If you set the CONFIG_SEC_FACTORY kernel option, it not only fixes the MTP behavior, but also provides a charging cap at 79%. This might be worth exploring.

Yeah, this a "whack-a-mole" game with Netflix that I'm not interested in playing. Any device with bootloader unlocked is compromised from a DRM perspective and should not be WideVine L1, so I don't exactly blame them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] robertozombie:
