Yes, yes and yes. ;) Problem is, Odin wont flash anything thats older than whats on the device. Sadly all roms and twrp are based on the december firmware and not on the newer february firm...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] dnrdrd02:
Hi, I just bought this new tablet but there's no way I can seem to install this Nexus ROM.

Bootloader is unlocked.

I tried to flash this ROM through Odin (like in OP first post wrote) but an error message always appears to me: "Only official binaries are allowed(boot)"

I then tried to install it through TWRP too (using the same OP's guide) but image files doesn't appear on sdcard therefore I can't flash the ROM. I flashed Multidisabled tho and then formatted data again obliviously, but even after disabling FBE there's no way the ROM file appears in TWRP.

I tried to flash this ROM on Odin ONCE AGAIN but FAILED. Now I'm stuck in a blue screen that says: "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software".

Is there anyone in here that can help me?? Seems things work for everyone or I am probably the only dumb person here because this is the first time I mod a Samsung device and I have never seen something so difficult to do in my whole life. I didn't want to waste money but I gotten an useless piece of garbage right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
You can't flash it with Odin and you have to have the file on the external SD card because the first thing you have to do in TWRP is FORMAT the data partition. Notice, that is FORMAT and not just wipe. That will delete everything on the internal storage so the Nexus ROM must be on the external card. Also, you'll need the zip file to flash with TWRP and not the img one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] FL0R1AN:
Not sure if it's possible but your option is to downgrade to December firmware. :confused:

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 AM ----------

Are you on December firmware? You have to be on December firmware because It wont work if it's after December firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
I believe Odin's only going to object to downgrading the bootloader (BL), but you still should be able to flash the AP and HOME_CSC from T510XXU2ASK5. That should suffice to ensure none of the other partitions are mismatched when you install TWRP or a custom ROM based off that kernel.

BTW, I got an email message today from Samsung acknowledging my request to post kernel source for T510XXS3ATB4. They're working on it!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] kurdes:
So this means i should flash AP and Home_csc from ASK5, then it should be possible to flash your rom?

ROM installed and working fine. But as with Nexus 9 ROM, I still cannot download some apps from the Play Store. For instance I can download and install Nova Launcher, but cannot download Opera browser. With a brand new, fresh install of the ROM. And I even cleared cache and data for the Play Store app and Google Services. Still won't download certain apps from the Play Store.

Yes, I can download and install those apps from somewhere like APK Mirror. But then the apps won't update through the Play Store, obviously. This makes the ROM unusable to me. Guess I'll go back to stock or try something different for now unless someone has any better ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I don't know what the problem is with your tablet, but I just installed Opera from Play Store without a hitch.e

BTW, I love opera. I just listenned to Pavarotti sing Nessum Dorma. Made the hair on my arms stand on end. Don't much care for the brower though.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] -BoneZ-:
I think I just fixed the issue. I went back into TWRP and not only wiped (factory reset) again, I also Formatted Data, which I haven't seen in the instructions. Once the data partition was formatted, I did one more wipe (factory reset) and installed the ROM again. Now I have no issues downloading from the Play Store.

BTW, I use Opera because Brave is still buggy and needs work. Chrome and Samsung Browsers still force you to use mobile websites with no way to permanently visit desktop versions of websites. Constantly pressing the "view desktop site" switch is not convenient. And Firefox is a huge resource hog, laggy and still buggy. Opera works perfectly everywhere and has all the options one needs (permanent desktop view, adblock, etc.). That's why I use it.

Thank you for downloading and making sure it downloads fine on the ROM, which made me look at other options to get it working. Seems to be working fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Glad I was helpful. I have a strong dislike for mega corps like MS and Google, but I just can't seem to break to Chrome habit. I have so many devices that keeping them all synced is a major headache and I've grown dependent on Chrome to help with it. Right now I have 3 Samsung tablets, T580, T510 and T720 and I'm always trying out new ROMs. If I had to re-install apps each time, instead of just restoring via my Google account, it would be a read PITA.:(

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

All of the newer Samsung tablets have this problem. The stock ROM encrypts the data partition and the encryption messes things up with custom ROMs. The instuction do say to format the data but most people seem to read that and think wiping will suffice. It won't.

Need an advice

I have just installed the ROM, but there is no keyboard preinstalled. I can not log in into WiFi and the Tablet says "Phone is starting" all the time. Am I doing something wrong? I used Nexus_Stock_AQ_T510XXU2ASK5-20200315 ROM and the newest OpenGApps opengapps-arm-10.0-pico-20200407.

----edit----

There is no need to install OpenGApps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
First of all, Nexus Stock includes the stock variant of OpenGApps, so installing the pico variant on top of it is only going to cause problems. My recommendation is to revert to the unmodified custom ROM, format the data partition, and see how that goes. If you want to make further changes from there, knock yourself out...but don't be surprised if you break something.

Just installed the rom and it's had great performance, but I ran into the problem of no sound being picked up by the microphone, this is problematic for me as I need to use my device for online classes and conferences, it's weird because google assistant voice recognition works, but when recording video sound is mute.

Great rom overall, hope the issue can get fixed soon, maybe it's happening to me only, but I followed the procedure (format data and installation through TWRP). If you need any log file I can provide you with, just tell me

Edit: tried reinstalling and problem persists. Also tried mictest app to test the microphone and it does work indeed, but revoking permissions for apps that are not picking up sound (instagram, camera) and later giving permission back does not.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
I've tested on Duo and the voice recording is working fine. And as you pointed out, Google Assistant is working. Those are really the only two apps on the custom ROM that record audio. Which specific third-party voice recording app are you having problems with? (I obviously don't test every app.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] AlmostIdiot:
Camera recorder and other camera recorder related apps. I'm gonna try editing build.prop

Edit: tried editing build.prop to no avail:

ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=none persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=true persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false use.voice.path.for.pcm.voip=true

Edit 2: also tried with previous versions of the rom and with nexus 9.0, but I faced the same problems. So I'm returning to stock for now, but is a great rom, much smoother and less sluggish than samsung's

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] shravansp24:
Thank you sooo much for the ROM. Though I loved One UI, the stock ROM was sufferring alot and sluggish due to very limited RAM availability.

This fixed that issue to a very great extent and the ROM has minimum bugs too! Some of the bugs I have noticed other than the ones in the first post were:

1) random reboots during early morning(scared me one night when I woke up to use the bathroom). It reboots every morning.. searched for all possible settings.

2) Few personalization settings does not work.

3) AudioFX does not work for me neither did viper4android

But other than these 2, the user experience is amazing, smooth, fast and has extremely less app crashes(only pubg crashes sometimes - I assume it has to do with the 2gb RAM because after using memory swapper[128mb / 15% swap] while playing pubg seems to correct that issue).

If only Samsung had given atleast 3(or)4GB of RAM, this tab would've been the perfect tab for the budget.

Contradiction in terms. If you had done everything right, you wouldn't be getting an error. And seeing a photo of the screen isn't what's needed. What was the tablet running the last time it was OK? What EXACT steps did you take from there to get you where you are now?

First of all, thank you Magendanz for this great Rom!

Yesterday, I tried your 10.0 Stock and LineageOS ROMs.

Can you please add a short note on the "VaultKeeper mode"? I spent several hours trying to get the ROMs installed (well, I am on Linux as well and haven't used Heimdall before...). But knowing about "VaultKeeper" and how to avoid it would have helped me a lot!

I get some graphical glitches on the Stock ROM (see attachments): the Google search field on the home screen is cropped and sometimes the app labels in the app overview get distorted. The latter one (randomly?) comes and goes as you scroll through the apps.

LiveDisplay is not working.

I have downloaded and converted the Odin file to a Heimdall archive with the Ubuntu version of Heimdall.

The error is "Hunk #1 FAILED at 82 (different line endings)." I made the patch file by copying and pasting, and nothing appears amiss. File attached. Any ideas?

I did not allow an OS update so it is still on the May 2019 ROM. Do I need to update the Samsung OS first before flashing this ROM? I am being cautious because Samsung has been known to lock the bootloader with some updates (my brother got burned with a Note 8 auto update before he could flash an AOSP ROM), but I realize that there may be some important updates to other partitions.

I'm considering switching from stock to this ROM, but before I jump into it I have a couple of questions.

1. What are the main differences between this ROM and LineageOS 17.1?

2. When I flash via Odin does it automatically boot into recovery (to format data) or do I have to do it manually?

3. I getting rooted as simple as flashing Magisk in TWRP?

4. If I decide to go back to stock (not very likely ;) ) do I just flash the latest stock via Odin and what happens to the encryption after that?

Thanks in advance for any help on this questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
This ROM is built on LineageOS 17.1, so they're functionally very similar. It just includes custom Google splash, boot animation, wallpaper, and all the Google apps in the stock variant of OpenGApps (including a custom version of the Pixel Launcher).

An Odin flash will bring up recovery automatically so you can format the user partition, but you don't have to do that if you're not coming from the OEM firmware. To restore, just flash the OEM firmware that you download from https://samfrew.com/model/SM-T510/.

I'm not a Magisk guy, so someone else will need to answer that question.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
If you flash a stock ROM via Odin, it will encrpt the data partition. So, if you later want to flash a custom ROM, you will have to format the data partition again.
