[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Tronje:
ok, I did, downloaded, flashed with the same disappointing result

I even cannot shut it down. That's what make me think, it's lost.

I didn't find any. In bootloader there should be a warning message first before entering, but there is none. And later some characters (a status message or something like that) on the top of the screen, but there is none.

that's my very last hope
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] bartleby999:
All is not lost - If it powers on, it isn't bricked - Simply software malfunctioning. Would assume you've corrupted the system with Magisk, which means just flashing stock should fix it. No idea why Odin isn't working though, since you've already flashed back to stock recovery - Are you sure you have the correct Firmware? Your bootloader is probably locked again, so you won't be able to flash anything but stock.

That's great indeed.

Now we get down to the firmware issues...it appears you might have upgraded to a higher BL one which may not allow you to downgrade BL)...might I suggest you try a different firmware?

And you are also already OEM Unlocked, right?

Was this round one of flashing BL, or round two, as per my guide? Please PM me and lets troubleshoot that way rather...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Moe5508:
I think this is a TWRP issue then, and you can ask in the thread there...as far as I can recall with flashing TWRP, you must be quick again at first boot to NOT let the device boot fully...you need to boot directly into TWRP else the custom recovery won't stick...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Tronje:
Yes, I know. But I don't know what to do with twrp?

There seemes to be no operating system on the tab and there is no possibility to flash one from twrp. I flashed it just to see what would happen. It couldn't get worse.

What I need is a methode flashing by odin or something else with available firmware.

I only know odin. Is there something similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] MadusDogusUK:
Sorry but I have to ask, why are you repartitioning anything? The only option you should touch in Odin from the options available on the left side of the screen is automatic reboot as far as I'm aware.

I would slow down and reread from the beginning.

1. Get all the correct firmware, double checking model and version numbers (is it SM-T860 or SM-T860N for example).

2. Prioritize your tasks and do them 1 at a time (get recovery working correctly, then install stock firmware, then if desired install TWRP OR root, one or the other, don't attempt to speed things up and try flashing 2 operations at once).

3. Reread what you are about to attempt before you start the process.

4. Don't try and improve on the instructions you are following, follow them exactly.

If you do the above I really can't see how you can go wrong.

Feel free to PM me any questions and if I can help I will.

Good luck brother :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] TiTiB:
Perhaps redownload...maybe everything? If possible do CRC/MD5 checks on downloaded files; if you can find out what they are supposed to be, that is. Not all sources provide that info, which I think is weird considering the importance of having a non-corrupted file for such things as ROMS and System files.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Tronje:
I have been at samsung support in a town near to where I live.

The young man at the counter made a competent impact and tried a lot ...

At the end he had to quit and told me, that he will have to change a circuit board.

Will cost 329.- €

This as a warning ...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] bartleby999:
Sounds like the same thing that happened to another guy in the TWRP thread - Part of me thinks there's a faulty batch of Tabs out there, perhaps a problem with the circuit board that is causing catastrophic damage when the e-Fuse is tripped. I have no evidence of this though and it's just a guess. Samsung definitely isn't going to admit to it but I can't see any other reason why tampering with software would cause a hardware failure.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Tronje:
Yes, it's absolutely insane.

I wished Oneplus would sell tablets, so that I could get rid of this ...

My last tab was a Lenovo Tab 4 plus and there I never got an update (they just decided to not longer support their flagship), now with Galaxy Tab S6 I'm having problems with root because of Samsungs's insane root restrictions.

I cannot eat as much as I would like to vomit.

329.- €!!! Samsung is absolutely bat**** insane!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Extreemator:
i don't understand too why did you touch re-partition option? Did you try first without it too? Seems like you did a lot stuff even finding pit fike somewhere which I don't even know what is about. You write about trying first isntalling twrp and then lossing magisk. What were you trying there are clear instructons that are not completely precise but there is nothing to invent. Are you sure that you just simply followed them. Sorry for doubting, you are not to first and behavior of this is certainly weird and not for the first time I read and encounter samsung's odd failures in software.

Why did you agree to pay. They should fix it for free. You payed premium and this crap behaving as it isn't supposed. I would just call police. This is unacceptable. And their warranty is piece of crap too, it's a big pain to get it. I am disgusted with those companies as you are and don't understand why eurocomission would not annihilate them with regulations for consumer protection.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] poster74:
Hi,

Just wanted to know, are there any custom Kernels for MIUI ?

I can see there are now some custom roms but couldn't find any custom kernels, specifically any that work with MIUI ?

Thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] u8ububu:
I haven't seen any. I'm not sure there's any freestanding kernel for any ROM atm. From my experience, it is not trivial getting a working one for this phone (but I'm not really a phone dev, so YMMV).

If anyone tries building and booting a kernel for this phone, here are some things I've discovered on my own:

1) DTBO

a) official dtbo + non-official kernel = brick and requires SPFT

b) lineage dtbo + official kernel doesn't work (can't remember if it bricks or not)

c) lineage dtbo + custom kernels = ok

I've tried building a device tree manually, including the voodoo public key appends from HyperTeam's tree, but couldn't get one working.

It should be noted that any kind of broken dtbo results in a brick. Which seems weird, because fastboot should be implemented in lk...

2) Boot image

a) When building the image from the kernel, the offsets must be set correctly, especially kernel + ramdisk. For me this is complicated by a bug in the mkbootimg binary which needs a ramdisk with non-zero size to accept the offset.

b) The image must be signed with avbtool. Interestingly, partition name and size don't matter too much.

3) Charging light

When keeping the phone connected by usb, the charging/notification light is on while the phone is in preloader & lk. When the kernel boots successfully, it gets turned off. Checked it by comparing with pstore logs.

Also, there are some proprietary bits in the vendor partition interacting with some interfaces in the kernel which resulted in kernel oopses for me when trying to boot lineage (I'm seeing some page fault in nl80211_vendor_cmd). I'm expecting MIUI to be even worse.

Hi guys,

I just installed gsen to my diamond. But there are some programs which i want to be excluded from the auto rotation.

I understand that in order to exclude the programs i have to use '#window(***)'

But there are some programs which i do not know what they are called.

So here's the few things i wish to exclude,

Phone, Message, Contacts.

Hope someone could point me in the right direction.

Hexagons: swap and merge hexa numbers is a brand new match-3 puzzle. Just swap 2 numbers to match 3 or more same adjacent numbers to merge them into the next higher number.

It is a relaxing and brain training match 3 hexa numbers game.

Google Play Store: Hexagons: Swap and Merge Numbers

Apple App Store: Hexagons: Swap and Merge Numbers

How to play:

- Swap 2 numbers in any direction.

- 3 or more same adjacent numbers will be merged into the next higher number.

Simple rules:

- No automatic swap-back even there is no match.

- Every match gives 1 star.

- Every swap without match costs 5 points. The cost is incremented by 5 points every level.

- It costs 100 stars to remove a number from the grid using the Remove button.

- The game is over when you run out of tries and stars.

- It is your responsibility to save your progress to resume it later by hitting the Save button.

Every new level: minimum and maximum generated numbers are increased by 1. So try to match all the minimum numbers before the next level because they will not be generated again.

Play, enjoy and have fun.

After I cracked my screen, I decided to start looking into different phones. I've seen many phones I like, but they all tend to have the same problem: XDA developers have not decided to toy with the devices! This is a huge problem for me, because, if I buy a phone, it MUST have a large developer-base. Otherwise, I get bored. So, if it's not too much to ask, what is the cheapest, not-ugly-looking phone I can get with the following specs, that has a decent amount of developers working on it?

RAM: 6+ GB

CPU: Octacore Snapdragon 8xx, or a different brand similar to that level

Storage: Either 128+ internal, or 32+ internal with expandable storage

Camera and GPU: Doesn't matter

OS: Android

Date: Doesn't matter

Hello mate, I've been looking myself of late as the last of my back up Nexus devices has packed up.

From what I've browsed over the past few days I'd take a look at the OnePlus range as they seem to have picked up where the Nexus range left off with strong development for pretty much every device they've launched and decent specs for the price point which is what the nexus' were all about for me.

The other thing to bear in mind is that some custom ROM's now use Telegram as a base rather than here on XDA so a good search online may give you a bit more of an idea what's out there if you find something that fits your requirements/budget etc.

Hope that's some help
