I tried to use the standard method outlined here to root my Tablet after updating to the June version of firmware (BUF5). But for some reason flashing the modified boot.img file from OSDIN fails. I finally gave up and went back to the BUE2 version following the same procedures and it worked just fine. Has Samsung pulled a fast on on us to block us from rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] pastorbob62:
Does anybody have any thoughts on this or has anyone experienced similar issues? I have searched far and wide but nothing similar shows up. I left a question on the Magisk site but no answer yet. Surely I am not the first person to see this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] xpdragon:
I had no issue of updating my SM-T970 to firmware (BUF5) with root. My guess is it would be the same for SM-T870.

My steps:

1. flashed the vbmeta_disable image (put into USERDATA slot) along with the stock firmware (BL, AP and HOME_CSC)

2. flashed magisk_patched.tar for root.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] pastorbob62:
Very interesting. That is different than any previous version of the firmware. Where do I find the vbmeta_disable image? All I can find is vbmeta.img and vbmeta_samsung.img.

U2BUF5 is working fine with latest Magisk on my SM-T870. If you like I can post the patched image for you to try to flash
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Jerry12798:
vbmeta isn't needed for WiFi only devices to my knowledge
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] pastorbob62:
That would be great. Because I just tried again with no luck at all. I am using Odin Odin3_v3.14.4. It works fine on version BUE2 and every version prior but I can't get the darn thing to work on BUF5. What did you use to compress it into a tar file?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] pastorbob62:
That's what I thought, but I tried with it anyhow and it still failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] pastorbob62:
Okay. I finally gave up and just modified the whole AP.tar file for BUF5. It flashed just fine and Magisk updated everything on first boot. So I am now rooted on BUF5 and up to date. The only downside was it takes longer to transfer the huge AP file twice. But it only took about 5 minutes total combined.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Jerry12798:
Here you go.. be sure to flash as AP with the appropriate BL and HOME_CSC from the stock firmware as well. I used 7Zip for compression by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] pastorbob62:
Thank you for your help. But I got it working by modifying the whole AP file. Also, my security software flagged your file hosting site as a known phishing and malware site. So I am not accessing it. Just a heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Jerry12798:
Super strange.. it's just androidhost.ru.. the flag is probably due to them not monitoring the files uploaded so therefore if someone hosts something malicious it can make it look like their the bad ones. I had tried uploading it here but for some reason once I clicked post my attachment disappeared. I then was going to use anonfiles but was getting an error.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] pastorbob62:
I have issues in the past with my security software blocking sites that are safe. Usually it depends on how badly I need the file as to whether I override the warning. Where are you located?

hi to all guys i am a new user and i would like to have some information .... the patched boot file must be from the XAR region or is it good for others? I have SM-T870 EUX T870XXS2BUC1 firmware. Okay this post here XAR? thanks in advance Marcello
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Jerry12798:
That's fine.. it will work so long as it's bootloader is unlockable and you use the corresponding firmware files for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Marx71:
Thanks to the immediate response

Yes the bootloader is unlockable from developer options. So it is enough that I use one of your boot files at the first post corresponding to the firmware I have on the device without considering the region of belonging?

R11_BUC1.zip for T870XXS2BUC1

R11_BUC6.zip for T870XXU2BUC6

etc etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Jerry12798:
Just modify the boot file for your current firmware from your region
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Marx71:
Are the boot files you posted only compatible for XAR firmware? so i have to download the full firmware for EUX and modify the boot.img with Magisk Menager?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Jerry12798:
Yes the files I posted are only for XAR variants.. you are aleo correct about the process for your EUX variant. I think there's something called Frija or something similar to get an unthrottled download of your firmware going.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] Marx71:

I can't fix my safetynet after rooting. Both, basic integrity and cts are failing. I tried several firmware versions (variations of Android 11, the last one BUD2). I tried my own Magisk-patched boot.img and the one availbale in this thread. In all cases my safetynet check fails miserably. What am I doing wrong?

The procedure I followed:

Flash original AP, BL, CSC in Odin 3.14.4.

Reboot

Flash R11_BUD2.tar and vbmeta_disabled in Odin 3.14.4 (flashing fails without vbmeta_disabled)

Reboot into Recovery

Factory Reset

If I flash just the original firmware, everything is fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gloege:
does the note 20 ultra have Programmable Power Supply (PPS) charging like the note 10+ had?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Gareee:
From what I read when looking at chargers for it. Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gloege:
then why are people complaining it does not support 45 watt charger:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Gareee:
Because high power charging degrades battery life too fast..so they use lower wattage variable charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
It's more because you gain less than 10 minutes in comparison to the charger they provide by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yeap. The gain is slight.

As long as fast charging is enabled, and a cable that supports fart charging is used, the 25 watt brick charges very fast.

Especially if you use it for quick boosts say in the 40-62% range which Li's love. My 10+ charges at 2% a minute through that range and that yields 2-3 hours of SOT.

Take a 10 min break and hundreds more cycles of battery life.

I've just bought this phone, I have a SIM that does support WiFi calling and VoLTE (it's EE in UK), but I don't see the option anywhere. Similarly I don't see a VoLTE option. I've been everywhere in the menus, and it's just not there, or in the phone app.

Is there some magic code I can type in to force it on, like *#*#86583#*#* on a Xiaomi ?

Do either of these work OK for anyone ?

I have version 17.0922.2005.11
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] lordxenu:
I found the answer, and if someone else is looking, Asus needs to add your carrier / country VOLTE/VOWIFI profiles to their firmware.

I guess I have to wait.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] bs3pro:
Your carrier/counrty COULD be in there already. Prop edits might be necessary. I posted a thread a few days ago, but deleted it, because the thread got spammed.

can we possibly convince you to share the info again ( read the thread, and yeah, seems people either are clueless or want everything 5G .. aparently they dont get the dofference between network limitations and phone limitations or something :/ ) just got the ROG3 yesterday, but living in a low coverage area, im more or less depending on VoWIFI most of the time, so would be great to have the phone actually working as intended instead of mostly handheld console XD ..

Hi Guys,

Just finished adding some hours ago all what is needed to enable it for my ROG 3 and my carrier.

[Guide] Enabling VoLTE/VoWiFi v2 | XDA Developers Forums

I have rooted the phone...

1) download the bootloader unlock from asus support webpage and unlock the bootloader (!!!this wipes your phone!!!)...just select the model and they give you the apk.

2) download twrp custom rom and flash it in fastboot (you need drivers and fasbtoot tool)

3) install magisk apk and use the app to download the proper zip that has to be flashed via custom recovery to enable root

4) having root enabled now you can use the guide above and activate diagnostics (I had to use the remote port option as it would not detect it via USB

5) based on the guide I also used the Xiaomi mi9 mbns (sort of config files for volte and vofi) using my carrier file.

Rebooted and all works now :)

PS: I had to enable magisk hiding mechanisms to make sure banking apps are working also.

While at this I also added some ad blocking capabilities now that I had to have root :D

PPS: here is a guide for rooting....(https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-install-xposed-framework-on-android-10/)

I use greenify. You don't have to be rooted to use it and there is a setting that puts apps you select to sleep and turn screen off (that might be a root feature tho, I'm not sure, I don't use it, I just have it set to force stop battery draining apps).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
3rd party power management apps tend to screw things up by creating conflicts. You may find it better to let Android do it without using any other apps except to shutdown apps that are known offenders.

On my load it's Bixby (except Bixby Vision and Bixby Vision Framework) all cloud apps, Samsung Push, Gmail, Google backup Transport and Backup Transport Framework.

All I'm using is PD MDM and Settings changes on my 10+ running on Pie. You will need to -play- with it to optimize it. Most guides and power management apps just drop the ball.

Monitor it. The usage you see is AOD running. After I turned off the screen Android powered all the running Apps down. No trivmcks; in Stand By Apps you can see all are in the Active state, all the time, always but they power down when not in use. So much for buckets... using Samsung Device Manager adaptive power management will toggle those buckets to various states and cause more battery drain eventually.

Use Galaxy Labs>Battery Tracker

It's possible the newer versions of Samsung Device Manager run fine but test by monitoring and always be wary of all 3red party power management apps!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
Have you looked into Bixby Routines or an app like Tasker where you can create rules? I can't say this will work (I don't use these apps), but if you haven't looked into using rule setting apps, that may be a solution for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gloege:
still someone mentioned the note 20 ultra may not be sleeping the phones cores that is why battery life is so out of whack. i just wanted an app that when i tape it it will turn off the phone and sleep the cores instantly. someone mentioned it is better then waiting for the time it takes to let the phone do it. this will help me find out if the cores sleep or not buy using the app to see if it will give me better battery life. really no harm will be done. the phone sleeps cores anyway. but if a bug is keeping them awake i want to catch it and report it. so it be nice if i can find an app to shut off screen and sleep the cores as well and it will save my power button from wear

All I would like is an icon on my home screen that I could tap to turn the screen off. I feel I’m wearing out the power button the amount of times I use it to turn screen off. Not found any other way to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Oh. Why didn't you say so?

Don't think Double Tap* works on 10....

but the Samsung Good Lock family app One Handed Operation Plus does

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lus&pcampaignid=APPU_1_dXJXX46SK8nEswXYmoWwDQ

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sl...tion-good-lock-app-from-samsung-11569355/amp/

This app is why you bought a curved screen Note....

*Double Tap may work on 10; it has a 2x tap on home button off option. No ads, no data usage, very low resource/battery usage. This is one of three screen off/no button options I have enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gloege:
so will that force the whole phone into immediate sleep when i tap it and the screen goes off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Mine does but no idea how yours is configured.

The app simple turns off the screen same as hitting the power button.

Apps like Greenify tend to make a mess out of unrooted phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gloege:
well i need it to turn off screen and force the phone into sleep the instant the screen goes off i heard of apps like this but never needed one

To what end? I have about 60 apks blocked, no sync running for Gmail, Calendar, etc, no cloud apps, no trash message apps, no FB, Playstore is blocked unless I unblock it and no 3rd party power management*.

My OS "sleeps" within a minute or so of turning the screen off.

Still a lot of stuff running though plus I'm using AOD.

It uses a little under 1% of battery per hour and better with no AOD.

Reboots generally don't fix power issues at all.

*all 3rd party power management apps including Samsung's Device Manager (disabled) cause more problems than they solve and many times cause excessive power consumption as well. All my app buckets show as active in Developer Options.

i bet, but some have said it is not sleeping cores that may be the same as os sleeping. and why wait a min when you can have an app do it when you tap it. i just want to test if forcing the os/phone into sleep will make a difference and they got apps that can turn off screen and force sleep i just can not find them. i found one in 2015 and lost it forever

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
I use Nap Time by Francisco Franco the kernel developer for rooted devices from a couple years ago. It will put the phone into a deep doze, which android already has. You will need to do a couple adb commands to get it working on non rooted phones, it's one of the first apps I install on a new phone. The phone can sit 10 hours over night and drop between 3-5%, you can have it turn bluetooth, wifi and data off while in a doze. Here's what Franco says about his app.

This is the real battery saver. No placebo and dumb marketing shenanigans!

Naptime lowers your device's power consumption while the display is off by empowering Android's built-in doze power saving functionality. Faster idle means less power being consumed unecessarily. By default doze can take a while to kick in so Naptime just speeds-up that process automagically for you.

It can also automatically disable W-iFi, mobile data, location & bluetooth as soon as doze kicks in.

Experimental features such as automatic Android Battery Saver, Aggressive Doze timings, Aggressive Doze scheduling times and location detection.

Now you have profiles so you can load them up on demand based on your usage and accessible from Quick Tiles.

Most features work if you're not rooted, but to have the full experience you'll have to root your device.

You can't double tap with that one; set one or more of the slides to turn off the screen. I use that as to kill the screen, navigate and more.

Double Tap is the one that does just that.

Many thanks, but I cannot find that setting at all. is my 80 year old brain letting me down, I wonder :(

You need to install the app, Double Tap first:)*

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...apk&pcampaignid=APPU_1_GzNZX_bWNsWosgXA3bmQAw

Give it required permissions/access. A clean app; zero data usage, no ads.

*Sorry if I mislead you. I have a lot of customization apps on this Android; most are Samsung but a few like this one aren't.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gloege:
does it put the phone in deep sleep or do i have to use them in tandem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It turns off the screen. There's always system apks running in the background unless you power off the phone. You can limit what runs to some extent.

If your getting around 1% per hour battery drain when the screen is off I call it done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] gloege:
i still would like an app that can force sleep and screen off at same time without rooting. why is it so hard to find this. i do not care what apps are running this is due to cpu activity and some admitting that they think the os does not go into sleep a bug you may call it. i want to test it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Your options are very limited unless rooted. You can disable or change settings of apks that are sucking power when the phone is sleeping.

Don't go too nuts or you may end up having to do a hard reset. You don't need to be rooted to discover the joys of a boot loop...:eek:
