I recently resolved this problem. You can use gdisk to delete the both partitions , then create a whole new partition, at last format it .

download : https://github.com/wangdaning/Static-Disk-Tools

1. copy gdisk to sdcard

2. reboot to recovery. run cmd:

adb shell

cp /sdcard/gdisk /sbin/ && chmod -R 777 /sbin

(copy gdisk to /sbin and make it 777 permission, or it will show permission denied)

3. run gdisk , then type in device filename : /dev/block/mmcblk0

4. command : p (you can get a sreenshot for the table, the value or string may be helpful)

d (delete the partition by type the Number, my phone is 14 & 15)

n ( create a new partition , type partion number , start and end sector. just accept default value)

t ( change a partition's type code, just make it as same as your phone default)

c ( change a partition's name , just make it as same as your phone default)

w (write table to disk and exit)

5.format this new patition and reboot, (twrp can do that)

@AdrianDC

Hello. When flashing to this firmware, Sony TX internal memory dropped from 16 GB to 4 GB. How to fix it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] variablehare:
Just fresh rebuild of AdrianDC rom (bug with the provision of only 4 GB has not been fixed) https://cloud.mail.ru/public/uc2m/5ojYjRVDr

Excuse me, it is android 11 version, not 10.

Hello, i do not know where to post this but i really need help solving this issue.

I was installing twrp on my Redmi note 9 (merlin) and once the set up was done my phone rebooted to twrp, but it took time (a lot of time).

And i could not resist the urge of pressing the power button to restart it, problem is miui was not starting and it was stuck at the boot logo, i figured out it was a great idea to press the power button again, but it booted up on twrp, wich worked but the screen seem to be frozen and doesn't register any tap on the screen or anything, and now each time i press the power button no matter how, it either boots on my broken twrp recovery, or boots on my absolutely destroyed os.

PS: No matter how hard i try it seem to be impossible for me to access fastboot too...
[General Topics] kyaaa_:
I was able to get this issue fixed by :

1 Installing adb

2 Opening cmd inside adb folder

3 Entering "adb devices" while the device was connected

4 Then entering "adb reboot bootloader" while the device was still connected

5 Once the device was in bootloader mode i installed miFlash and downloaded this rom : mifirm.net/download/4163

5.1 If you have an error with the drivers, create a folder named log inside of the said miFlash folder

5.2 Also make sure that the path to the rom is not too long (i heard that miFlash had problems handeling long paths)

6 Once everything was set up i just hit flash and flashed the rom onto the phone

7. You're done ! You successfully repaired your phone and saved him from the depth of hell!

If you have any problems or need precision on certain points make sure to ask me in this thread so that other people can get help too.

Newest word is Sprint will release the Diamond on September 2nd with the name Victor and the Touch Pro will go a month later as the Herman.

Some interesting facts:

Both Sprint iterations will have more then double the RAM of Verizon versions, 256 vs. 128.

Sprints Pro will have an accelerometer while the Verizon version will not.

The Pro will have 512 ROM verses the Diamond's 256 ROM.

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/More-information-on-Touch-Diamond-and-Raphael-for-both-Sprint-and-Verizon-article-a_3021.html
[General Topics] stpete111:
Interesting info. This goes to prove that in fact the hardware is NOT identical in all phones of a specific model, which goes against what many people here have said about the Diamond.
[General Topics] Hypeo:
Sprint

I guess if your with Sprint, you get the better end of the deal!!!

Sprint

I guess if your with Sprint, you get the better end of the deal!!!:)
[General Topics] yrsmart:
I would be to disagree there. The Sprint version gets the better ram the Raphael has with 4gb of built in memory, but the Verizon version just get ram the current Diamond has but it gets a microsd card slot which goes up to 32gb of space at this point in time. I dunno I rather have more space over a slight increase in speed and increase in ram.
[General Topics] stpete111:
Yeah if I had one wish for a feature to be added to the Diamond it would be for it to have a card slot. This Verizon version does it. Too bad I'd rather have my private parts eaten off by rabid wolves than have anything to do with Verizon or Sprint.
[General Topics] galaxys:
well said...I would never deal with sprint or verizon (having tried them both)!
[General Topics] yrsmart:
Kind of a mystery why HTC or Verizon would take away the accelerometer. I dunno I have had more luck with Verizon than AT&T.
[General Topics] mphayvanh:
Verizon has way better coverage that AT&T & Sprint in my area.

If those specs are true from Phonearena, I would pass on better coverage and have a solid/full featured phone.

Verizon version of the Touch Pro is slower, less RAM, no accelerometer.

I'm a power user and I need processing power and memory, but I also know that developers will be incorporating the accelerometer in their software (ie iPhone). Verizon has no business sense and their phones are crippled (BT profiles, etc). I'm leaving them for Sprint or AT&T, whoever offers the Touch Pro first.
[General Topics] yrsmart:
My Samsung i760 isn't crippled at all in terms of bluetooth, and neither is my sister Moto Q9c and my friends Touch. What is ISM? Because the slower Qualcom chip has 64mb ism while the faster has only 32mb ism.
[General Topics] burgertime:
The boys over at PPC Geeks have figured out that Best Buy will start selling the diamond at 729.00....steeeeeppp, I am sure this is out of the box unlocked though.
[General Topics] yrsmart:
I read Telus is selling the Diamond(not sure if it is 4gb model or sd slot model) for $150 on a three year contract and $350 for a two year.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] WalterCool:
Hi everyone,

I decided to make a thread about this topic because I took too much time trying to check how to do this, as isn't really documented.

If you are at Official Android 8 - 9, so you must use A-type Treble images. If you are at Official Android 10, so you must pick AB-type Treble images. Always pick ARM64 images.

Some nice projects about Treble:

- AOSP 10: https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...velopment/aosp-10-0-quack-phh-treble-t3992559

- LineageOS 17: https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...lopment/gsi-lineageos-17-0-gsi-archs-t4004673

- Resurrection Remix (Android 8, 9, 10): https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...pment/gsi-resurrection-remix-o-6-1-0-t3811299

- Many others: https://xdaforums.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development

How to install it on your Tab S4, order is important here:

- Basically, get TWRP and install it: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-0-sm-t83x-t3928278

- Format your data folder at TWRP

- Make backup at least from Boot and Vendor Image.

- Pick and install any of the Treble images mentioned before. At TWRP go to "Install", then tap "Install Image", and pick "System Image"

- Install DM-Verity disabler https://xdaforums.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389

- Install Magisk https://magisk.me/zip/#Download_Magisk_Zip

It should work, if doesn't, try another build as might be some bug. Be sure to follow all previous steps as mentioned, or you may be stuck at bootloop.

Known issues:

- Mono audio, only bottom speaker works.

- Some projects may have a rotation issue.

- S-Pen is detected as a mouse instead of pointer, but not really a bug.

- Others: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S4-10.5

Hope this helps to anyone! Let me know if you get some problem, from my side I had built and installed LineageOS, it works flawless! Encryption or password lock doesn't work (for me)

Just took 2 screenshot at my tablet and added them to first post using LineageOS. One at main screen, Second one at Settings using S-Pen (appears as mouse)

Be aware those roms may have incompatibilities, for example I can't encrypt or set a lock screen. Will report that later.

Hmm haven't tried HavokOS, what is the error you are visualizing? And where?

Can you boot TWRP normally?

It works like a mouse, as someone said, if there is some app supporting drawing with a mouse, it will work.

s-pen works quite good, but mouse icon is annoying for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] veekay:
Those running a treble rom, does your whole screen fill when in landscape mode or does it cut off the side by 96 pixels?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] inducer:
Does the S-Pen support pressure sensitivity when used via one of these ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kitamurt:
don't install gsi roms, i tried several times and i advice you not to do it. they're too much unstable, but what's more important is that it will boot only once, if you reboot by mistake it won't boot again and will go bootloop. that's very sad that no rom has been developed for this device, indeed it has got very good specs. so, in short, tab s4 is not suitable for modding. sell it and buy the previous model, it has got more support and roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kitamurt:
no gsi rom supports s-pen features like the stock one, cause no software has been developed for them, so pressure sensivity won't be recognized. only stock rom fully supports it.

Out of curiosity: was anyone successfull in installing LineageOS 20? I tried it with several different versions already, but somehow I always end up in a boot loop...thats not much fun!

So I am open for any hints/tips/tricks which help to make it work!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
Or was anyone succeeding in installing LineageOS 19? Looking for anyone who is interested in making the tablet work with GSIs
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amr.Bendari:
Hello bro , thank you so much for your info and your time

I have two questions

When you tested LineageOS 20 :

1- Stereo Speakers (4 Speakers) working fine ?

2- When your tablet restart did your tablet boot loop or lost it ?

Because i heard that when your device restart you may loses it

Sorry about my English

Do you recommend to install LineageOS 20 ? Because i want to give my tablet fresh looking oneUI 2.1 so old

And i tried many versions of treble roms but no thing successfully with me
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
1) Only bottom speakers work (as far as I can tell this is pretty much always the case)

2) Depending on what I tried it either bootlooped or was stuck at the bootanimation logo of LineageOS. I documented some cases here.

I did not loose it (not exactly sure what you mean). If you're asking whether it broke, then no...still works fine.

If you do not care about encryption nor screen lock, then I recommend to install it! Actually, LineageOS runs very smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amr.Bendari:
Thanks for your reply

Last question : The sound with only two speakers is low or fine ?

Could you please give me download link for those files ?

Sorry for annoying you
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amr.Bendari:
With speakers issue can we solve it by root and install stereo module ?

i remember from 5 or 6 years there were method like that to make the sound stereo from all speakers

When the default was only mono speakers
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
For me totally fine. But I do not know what you expect.

LineageOS link is now included in the post where I explain the process. Rest you can google.

I have no idea. Try it and POST it here! I heard somewhere there was a Magisk module you can install for DolbyAtmos to work. I have no further information, however.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amr.Bendari:
Need to install gapps or it's included

If no please suggest me which version

And ROM extension is xz

Should i use extract manger ?

And do i need external sd card or usb flash ? Because you said i will format data
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
Brother start googling. I installed the no GAPPS variant. Look at the sourceforge page for the version including GAPPS.

Extract it to an .img file.

I use an SD-card, but maybe it also works with usb
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amr.Bendari:
I installed the version with gapps and everything is working smoothly

Do you know how to get root access ?

Because i want to try install magisk then install Dolby Atmos module

Maybe i can fix speakers issue or another method
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
I am not familiar with rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amr.Bendari:
Thanks for your help and patience 🙏

Have a nice day

You bring the life to my Tablet
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amr.Bendari:
After one day

It's not stable at all

The device randomly restart and go to LineageOS logo

I re-install the Rom again ( first install TWRP then Format data and clear delvik, cache..etc. then install LineageOS 17.1 then install DM then reboot system and the rom start then restart to recovery then install LineageOS 20 then install DM then restart system and everything is fine, but after install my apps )

The device randomly restart and go to LineageOS logo

Did you install any kernel ?

Or i'm did something wrong ?

How long does this ROM still work for you?

Please Help because i like the new OS
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
I actually experienced the same. Maybe it helps to first install 17.1, then 18.1, then 19.1 and then 20. Somewhere I read that one is not supposed to skip major updates...but not really sure about that. If you want you can try and report whether it solves any issues or not.

Of yourse you can try to flash a different kernel, but I am not really familiar with that.

Someone also test it. I have no problems with SM-T835 since two weeks with all apps and banking. Everything is very good. LineageOS 20.0, Android 13.0 with minimal Gapps (without guarantee).

Extract it Into your TWRP-Folder and restore. Enjoy.

This sounds very interesting. I do have some questions:

Could you provide the link of the GSI?

Do you also have a bvN version? (No Gapps at all)

Does encryption work with this GSI?

Do you need Magisk, or does it work without?

Just out of curiosity: is it based on the unofficial GSI maintained by Andy Yan?

If yes, did you modify a much, or is it basically the same as the GSI of Andy Yan?

It sounds very nice to be able to use LOS 20 on the T835!

Here is Android 13.0 as Lineage OS 20.0 for the Tab S4 (gts4llte) for me without problems.

Please also test it. I have no problems with SM-T835 since two weeks with all apps and banking. Everything is very good. LineageOS 20.0, Android 13.0 with minimal Gapps (without guarantee).

Extract it Into your TWRP-Folder and restore (unlocked bootloader necessary). Enjoy. Dont't forget to backup your device before. I give you the following images: Boot, last Recovery, System, Vendor only if needed. Please format data and delete caches, install dm-verity. Read first posts please.

SafetyNet passes with Magisk and Universal SafetyNet-Modul. TWRP-Helper backups your data.

I use it now for daily work and stay with it and Magisk 26101 now. Everything is stable. I also use Novalauncher and GBoard.

This file ?

If yes i tested it before and it's unstable

Device boot loop only after one day

My installation:

Install lineageOS 17.1 then install DM-Verity

Then install lineageOS 20 then install DM-Verity

....

And when i install any treble rom after installation completed

in setup pin or face unlock, the device randomly restart

....

Please if the rom stable with you give me the download link

....

Finally what do you mean exactly by extract it into Twrp folder and ( restore )

I'm sorry alot of questions
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
@Autodakt you have to provide a link. Just linking to the repository of AndyYans GSI builds is not sufficient. Please be more precise. Also, how does encryption work if you install DM-Verity disabler? That does not make any sense...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Autodakt:
Hello, yes I began with above file .....arm64_bgN. I have uploaded here a zip-file (and on Telegram Weta Tab S4). It is a virgin TWRP-backup of my Tab S 4 without EFS etc. I'm working now with my Tab S4 here, smoothly and stable all the time. I made a backup of my images boot, last recovery TWRP, system and vendor. This should run on every T835. My device shust down correct, starts into recovery without loopback. Try it. (I can't find here my uploaded zip). I flashed before the last AP-file from sammobiles original samsung Android 10 firmware from july 2022 and started one time. But with this files it is not necessary. I also locked with pin or sign my device. No problem. Only the automatic brightness is not available.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0byn:
I cannot see a zip file attached. Maybe try a different compression format, or provide the files via a file sharing platform.

Could you explain in detail which steps you flashed and also in which order? So for example:

Unlock bootloader

flash TWRP (provide link to which TWRP)

....

That would be very helpful!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Autodakt:
I am not a professional. I don't teach. I give only my functional virgin TWRP backup. Read and flash after backup your Tab S4 LTE (gts4llte). You should have flashed TWRP and unlocked bootloader. Then extract following .zip into your TWRP device folder on external sdcard.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] prasun.com:
Is it advisable to flash these ROM?

Update: Installed Lineage 20 - it was fairly easy to install. There was a lot of confusion on the steps to follow - summarizing what I did:

0. Device: SM-T835 (India), I was running on latest stock (Android 10) to start with

1. Installed latest TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_9-0-gts4lwifi) via ODIN

1a. Keep twrp read only, you will need to format data to start with.

2. Flashed lineage-20.0-20231214-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img,

2a. I believe file may keep getting updated so get the latest file for arm 64_BgN

2b. You will have to unpack the file using a tool - use 7z or winrar

2c. While flashing twrp will ask you which partition to install to - choose system

3. Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020

Later I will try to flash magisk and then report back.

Thats it. I can post ROM performance and experience if people are interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddietoll:
Hi,

Thank you for your instructions, I did a similar flash with my t830 as lower below. Tried 2 roms, Andy Yan lineage 20 & aosp 14 (https://github.com/ponces/treble_aosp/releases).

The lineage 20 froze on 1st setup fingerprint, it cannot jump over without the setup fingerprint, dead. Also 2 top speakers not working.

Aosp 14 pass setup is good, normal running ok, but 2 top speakers not working, and also a random restart from 2nd stage of the system boot (android only logo), not 1st stage of tablet boot (seeing tab s4 name & android logo). Not always but sometimes, especially when in the settings menu, install new app, or app update. I saw other people with a different brand saying similar reboot problems.

Below is how I did it.

Magisk new ap file - odin flash stock with new ap file - odin flash twrp latest 3.7 - boot twrp then install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020, format data, install new rom on system partition, reboot system. (https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-3-4-0-6-t83x-mtp-otg.3928278/post-87434607)

Tried different ways, flash TWRP only without Magisk for new ROMs, and boot loop. Uninstall magisk after the AOSP 14 runs, still randomly reboots, same. Tried flashing vbmeta as well, and boot loop.

Do your top 2 speakers work?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] sigbin69:
Any solution to top speakers? Tried aosp 14 and lineage 20 same problem. Top speakers not working
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddietoll:
I don't know if there is any solution to make top 2 speakers work, I think our tab s4 not fully compatible with newer gsi roms, unless someone make custom gsi for it, or back to stock android 10. Which I don't think that happens. :(
