Which version did you use? I haven't tried the new .42 version. I only saw that after using the MSM Unlock Bootloader tool for version 10.0.39. Maybe it's the boot image provided in the link that's wrong. I wanted the earliest possible so I downloaded the MSM tool and Boot.img from the crossed out links for 10.0.36 and don't get that issue. Worth a shot.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] keydel:
Yeah I used 10.0.39, the name says something different from the latest one. However I'm back on the latest stock one .

This was a refurbished phone from insurance and I think it was reflashed or something because for the life of me i couldn't get it to boot into fasbootD so I couldn't flash any other rom. Which is what I wanted, so just back to stock for now
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] :
Can confirm that the newer 10.0.39 does make the device identify as something other than 1925, which I believe is purely cosmetic but I still hated it so I used the older version and that fixed it. I would also like to point out that unlocking the bootloader this way doesn't seem to break persist.img or reserve.img as I was able to use the fingerprint scanner and take an OTA update back to the latest android 11 version without restoring those files.

I would definitely still back those up though!! Just because this doesn't seem to destroy them doesn't mean you might not need them in the in future "just in case"

all except command...i used fastboot oem unlock, worked lika a charm
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] Charles::
I can't seem to get this to work. I'm on A11, so is that why? I keep getting stuck at the "Param Pre-Processing" part like 7 seconds in. When I go into EDL mode (phone is powered off. I press, Vol up and Vol down at the same time, while I connect my cable. The MSM Tool says connected and I click Start ASAP. I installed the Qualcom drivers...I think. What's the deal here??
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] zionxgodkiller:
do not let go of the volume buttons until after you connect and click start in the msm tool Is what I believe I picked up in the thread. I went with a tool from here and can't get into EDL but I havent really tried much. Let me knw if that helps as I am right with you.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] Charles::
That's what I do. Hold Vol up and Vol down both, connect cord, MSM says "Connected", hit Start (while still holding vol buttons and tried after letting go of the vol buttons...still same result), then get the "Param Preload" error and it just sits there. Doesn't show as connected anymore.

From other posts on this, I read the fix is to install the Qualcom drivers, but I used the link for the drivers and installed them. I think. When I entered EDL mode, I saw the dialog box in the app tray in the bottom right of my task bar say something about installing Qualcom drivers. Maybe there's a new set?? Maybe this doesn't work for A11??
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Guides, News etc.] zionxgodkiller:
Not 100% sure yet myself. I somehow booted to the recovery screen where you pick your language as start fresh, but at the top of the screen it said "-fastbootd". I read you won't see anything on the screen that shows you are in EDL mode, so you might have been there. I found my L1 Qualcom info on device but I haven't seen anything on L2 yet as well.

This was my first time attempting to root a phone, and I have to say man did I pick one heck of a phone for a first try.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] 白い熊:
It does work, I patched it, flashed as AP, and root is present.

However, I have a weird issue now — when the display is turned off, either using the power button, or automatically after the timeout set in settings — it doesn’t turn back on for me now. When I press the power button now, the Tab goes on, but the display stays off.

Thought it was due to turning off autobrightness, think I’ve seen historically somewhere such behavior. But no, even when I turned autobrightness on now, it won’t come back on now. Every time it goes off, I have to force reboot, to make it turn back on.

Any idea what can be causing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] Nightmare0:
I've tested, and I haven't got this issue. Try to turn on the "Magisk Core Only Mode" and reboot. It may be caused by some module.

By the way, the boot file I uploaded is only for Galaxy Tab S7+ T970, software version TH1. What's the model and software version of your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] 白い熊:
OK, that's the reason, I've got T976B. Will have to wait for the firmware for it and patch it then — currently not yet on sammobile…

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mikedavo:
You know, the tab s6 is the first device I've owned and not rooted.

I have instead installed samsung package disabler, pushed through a couple of ADB commands for shortcutter and gsam battery monitor. Honestly in practical terms I don't believe root is an advantage any more, infact it causes more problems than it solves.

There are apps avaliable now on the play store that with the granting of permissions can do most of if not all of what only rooted apps could do in the past eg. Xposed edge has been replaced with Edge gestures.

Granted there are some notable exceptions such as backup apps and kernel tweakers but nothing game changing.

I won't be rooting my tab s7 plus when it arrives for aforementioned reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] jhill110:
I have a TabS6 rooted and I don't have any problems at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mikedavo:
Yes you do, you just haven't come across one yet but you will. Widvine l1 support, losing your warranty after unlocking your bootloader are just two obvious ones.

I would like to know what you gain from rooting an 855 soc apart from what I have already mentioned? Not being sarcastic, honestly would like to know. Even true full custom roms probably will be very limited on a tablet, I'm guessing DEX is a pain to incorporate bugfree.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] RedCriwx:
I can confirm it is working fine in a S7+ (SM-T970 EUX). At least in my case.

-Unlock OEM (under developer options)

-Boot in download mode (with the tablet powered down, press volume up + volume down and connect usb cable to PC)

-Long press volume up to unlock bootloader (you will lose all your data!)

-Download the original firmware (Using SamFirm),

-Flash it using ODIN in donwload mode (Optional, just to make sure you are using the same image you are going to patch)

-Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP_xxxx tar file.

-Decompress the lz4 to get the uncompressed boot.img

-Copy the file to the tablet

-Patch it using the latest Magisk Manager.

-Copy the patched boot image back to the PC.

-Recompress it as boot.img.tar

-Flash it using AP slot in Odin and reboot tablet.

You are done! Magisk manager shloud say now it is rooted. (you will also have a BIG warning every time the tablet is powered on, telling you how irresponsable and despicable you are by modifying the device)

Thanks to Nightmare0 and all the others that pointed the tools and hints to do it!

Well if the buttons stop working or anything else hardware wise I really don't think there would be a warranty problem.

Well lets see:

TiBu

Shortcutter

Button mapper (wonderful things if you're rooted)

ES file Explorer Pro etc. etc.

Your flat out wrong about custom roms. I've had custom roms on all my Sammy tabs and they've been great. With the un writable system (Android 10) custom roms are going to be necessary. I luv my custom boot ani's and audio's.

I've been rooted since day one and have had not a problem one. Those that do are likely just knuckleheads doing stupid ****.

I just pre ordered aTab S7 256 and I'll root that ***** straight out of the box. You shouldn't critique rooting if you're not because you really don't what you're talking about... Not to be "sarcastic"... Member...

Hey [MENTION=2757016]RedCriwx[/MENTION]

I just patched the whole AP file in magisk and flashed that on my Tab S6. Will that work on the S7 to the best of your knowledge?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mikedavo:
Oh, you mean you like to tinker.

Well yeah if that's you're thing. I got a kick out of tinkering too, as I've already mentioned, I have rooted every device I've owned until this tablet. Btw where are all the custom rom you speak of for this year old device?

Tell me why did you buy this tab, so you could tinker or to actually enjoy it?

Like I said from the start, root is just not necessary anymore to get great experience in fact it can hinder the experience.

I can critique anything I want mate, it's up to the listener to to respond or (not). If your but hurt about it, that's your issue because I don't have control over what you do.

I use my tab to watch movies, play games, do work, do art. There is not a dam thing root is going do to make those better.

If you wanna look at boot screens and semi transparent notifications and what ever that you're diggidy but don't accuse me of being some kind of false prophet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] jhill110:
Whaaaaas
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] RedCriwx:
I don't think it would work. Magisk can't patch a lz4 compressed file (I tried and it throws an error). You have to decompress it in order to patch it. Inside the big APxxx.tar file everything is compressed with lz4 so I don't think Magisk is able to path anithing inside.

I haven't tried myself, but if you ask me a would say no, it will not work.

Ok, here's what I did :

Downloaded the latest firmware zip from SamFW to my PC (XAR) Which is USA

Unzipped the file in a folder I named S7

Copied the AP file to my Tab S6

Opened Magisk Manager (Need to install Magisk Manager?)

Tapped "Magisk is up to date"

Chose "Install" then "select a file to patch"

Selected the AP file I saved to my external storage

Magisk did it's thing and patched the AP file (you don't have to reboot).

Magisk saves the file (magisk_patched.tar) to internal storage Download folder by default.

Copied "magisk_patched.tar" back to my PC in the S7 folder.

Now it's ready to flash in Odin.

Magisk_patched.tar to AP Slot

BL to BL Slot

Home_CSC to CSC Slot

There's no CP file for the WiFi version

Now your S7 should be ready to root

Keep in mind that this was preliminary to how I rooted my Tab S6 WiFi (it's easy).

I'll write up an unlock Bootloader & Root the Tab S7 WiFi version as soon as mine arrives (Sammy says it will ship the 18th)... Just to be sure.

I'm not sure why you would have to go through the extract boot image thing but this is how I did my S6 and feel confident at this stage it will work for the S7 WiFi version.

Let me know what you think guyz. The worst that could happen is you'll have to flash full firmware if something goes wrong.

I'm ready to go! All the ducks in a row.

TAB S6 WIFI VERSION XAR (USA) WAITING FOR MY TAB S7!

EDIT:

This is after you unlock the bootloader which wipes data.

Home CSC vs. CSC file... Home CSC Doesn't wipe data... CSC does.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] RedCriwx:
I tested it and you are right, it works copying the hole AP_XXXXX.tar.md5 file. But even then, that way you are working with a 6GB file. It takes "forever" to copy to the tablet. It takes "forever" to be patched with magisk manager, it takes "forever" to copy the patched file back ro your PC and it takes "forever" to flash it with Odin. With "forever" I mean like 2.5-3 minutes on each operation.

If you extract the boot.img file, you are working with a 30MB file, so each operation is almost immediate, and you end up saving like 10 minutes in all the process.

I would reccomend working with just the boot.img.tar file to speed up the process.

Can you help me please?

Hi gents, can anyone help me please?

I followed ssalkuwari step by step, I had to Wipe/Factory reset to get my tablet to boot into the system normally, and finally got two messages when I started my Tablet.

The first one says bootloader is unlocked and the second one says this tablet is not running Samsung official software. I assume I succeed to root it.

However, when I checked the tablet if it's rooted with few apps, all of them giving me it is not. Even I tried to check that with Rootoking and RootKing. Still getting the same results, that the tablet can't be rooted.

Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] hurray:
Thank you very much! This has worked for me (also on SM-T970 EUX) very well! :)

The only difference was that I used the whole AP-file for patching. Indeed it was much bigger than only the boot.img but also a little bit easier to do.

Good to know that both approaches are working.

Btw: I also used information directly from the Magisk Site itself: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root

About 3 weeks ago I bought the WIFI (T870) version of the S7 and I am loving it. Samsung gave me a $400 discount in trade for my Tab S4, plus an additional $100 instant rebate which made the purchase very affordable. I have no regrets whatsoever. I am one of those users who loves to tinker. But I am hesitate to root given that this tablet just rocks and using ADB I have been able to remove all of the unnecessary bloatware. I don't have a burning desire for a custom rom. As a matter of fact, I was running a debloated rooted stock ROM on my S4. However, there are some user data backups for a couple of my games that I can't access. The only backups I have are with TWRP and Titanium Backup. TWRP is not available for this device and TB requires root. I have been playing these games for several years and don't relish the idea of starting from scratch. So root it will be.

[Android Head-Units] jrobbom5:
The amp in my car (BMW E39) has a S/PDIF coaxial input that will only work at a sampling rate of 44.1khz. At the moment, I have the RCA analog line-level outputs of my head unit (Dasaita Max6, Android 9) running directly into an ADC that I have mounted on the back of the head unit, and from there I just run a single coax cable to the back of the car that then plugs into the amp. This sounds great to my uneducated ears, however it bugs my OCD-ness that the head unit is converting from digital to analog, and then I am converting this straight back to digital again. It would be better if I could just run a digital signal al the way through.

So, as an experiement, I bought a cheap USB to S/PDIF sound card off ebay (PCM2704), which I hoped that I would be able to plug into one of the USB outputs on the head unit and instantly get digital audio. Only it didn't work. I tried a heap of things and I could not get the head unit to output audio via USB. I did a bit of sniffing around the file system, and found all of the audio-policy configuration files (all are XML) in the /vendor/etc directory. There is a USB Audio policy file there, however the main audio policy file makes no reference to it. The main file recognises a heap of audio outputs (bluetooth, headphones, speakers etc), but neglects USB.

This is as far as I have gotten so far. There is very little info available on this that I could find. I few people managed to get this sorted on Android 6, but all of the audio policy files changed between Android 6 and 9. My next step is to see if I can add USB to the main audio policy file and see if that works, but before I do that, I thought I would post here and see if anyone else had tried this before.

I'm aware of things like USB Audio Player Pro, which uses it's own proprietry drivers to send audio out via USB, but this is not really suitable to me as it won't work with other audio sources, like Youtube, youtube music etc.

So has anyone had any experience with this? Has anyone gone down this path before? Any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Explosator:
Hello everyone. Has a Plantronics Voyager Legend BT-headset and Android 8 on SGS7.

Sometimes (1-2 times in a week) I experienced a problem with BT audio-sound: audio, that might route to BT-headset, comes to a phone speaker. After phone restart this problem gone for 3-4 days, then it repeats again. There is no reasons for this issue, just in one moment after pairing BT-headset audio-sound (like music or notifications readers) goes to a speaker (maybe before pairing, I don't know, in some moment that I can't catch).

BUT phone GSM voice call sound doesn't route to a speaker, only BT Audio does.

Who can explain, what is going on with this? I had the same issue on Android 6.0.1 and believed that after Android Oreo upgrade I get rid of this, but I was wrong, it pursues me.
