Hey RT,

Would you mind thumbnailing the steps to restore completely to stock including all partitions drivers etc, and then installing the ROM? I'm not a novice, but I am not extremely familiar with Samsung procedures. Including re-unlocking if that ends up being necessary?? [And it would be helpful to know which is the recommended stock version ..]

I want to do the same as you.

thx

There's no magic above. You just use odin and flash stock rom. It's already scripted inside to flash over all the partitions that are included in the zip. For the 95% of the people reading this who run Windows this will work fine.

Since I'm in Canada, I picked from here the T350XXU1CQJ5 because that's the last stock that was on my tablet.

If you use linux, like me, you unzip the stock zip file and take a look at the stock partition names and match them up with the .pit file and manually type in the commands to do it. Something like

The new version that nubianprince posted is 3.5.0_9. I have tested the above, except for backup/restore, and verify it works. In addition, more importantly for people developing the rom, is that adb debugging works in TWRP mode.

@nubianprince, thanks for building 3.5.0_9 and quick turnaround.

Once you're back to stock, I assume one needs to use Odin to put twrp back on right? And a special Odin compliant one? I'm going to do this today.

Here's what I wrote about TWRP and Odin.

https://xdaforums.com/t/root-twrp-s...-p350-t355-p355.3126827/page-47#post-84322035

You don't need any special Odin, but you need to be careful where you download it from. Again, I don't use Odin as I'm linux user so I use open source heimdall to flash TWRP.

If you use Odin to restore to stock, you can use the same Odin to flash TWRP 3.3.1 or 3.5.0.9. I have now switched to 3.5.0.9 for more testing purposes only otherwise 3.3.1 works perfectly fine.

@nubianprince I wonder if you would consider providing the TWRP you're building in .tar.md5 format? I guess the bar is fairly high for any newcomers as it is, maybe we aren't expecting new people to show up. But the current path is pretty roundabout that people would have to take. [It wouldn't have to be kept up to date, but one version would be nice..]
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] nubianprince:
You can easily create your own .tar file to use with Odin,

1 - Rename my TWRP file to recovery.img

2 - With 7zip or any similar application installed right click on recovery.img add to archive and choose .tar as your extension

3 - Flash file in AP slot on odin
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] bluenote73:
My impression is this procedure won't create a .tar.md5 file though? I could post the one I converted if you'd like.

Btw I finally realized something about the problem I'm experiencing with not being able to switch away from number / symbol keyboard. It happens on landscape, but not portrait. (It survived back to stock and no restore of settings)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] nubianprince:
You don't need a tar.md5 to Flash TWRP .tar will do just fine, I added Odin flashable tar file to the main post.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ahmadbilal505050:
This is a great build. There are about of stability and crash issues I wanna point out.

1: Tablet sometimes shutdown by itself.

2: If you're typing then you can't revert back from numeric keyboard to alphabet keyboard.

3: A notification came on notification panel "Finish setting up your SM-T350", I clicked on it and it asked me whether you want to copy data. I clicked "Don't copy" and then a note came saying that " System UI, Android Setup stopped working" . This happened every time.

[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] humanWithAPhone:
Greetings,

I just wanted to share my solution to resolution of a brand-new Moto G7 Power XT1955-5 having the developer option "OEM Unlock" disabled. I see issues for a separate model here:

https://xdaforums.com/g7-power/help/oem-unlock-greyed-t4061763

I do not know if my solution will work for other models. My XT1955-5 was manufactured in 2020 06 and purchased in US.

My intent here was to get the bootloader unlocked for installation of custom ROMS as quickly as possible.

Start Phone

Skip all setup options.

Enable Developer Mode

Enable USB Debug

In about phone > time/ date settings, disable all toggles

Set phone to a period of 8 days ago - arbitrary number

Reset Phone

Reset Date to correct date (leave toggles as-is)

Connect to a wireless network with access to Internet (I was using a WiFi, and did not try data)

Read first before attempt - Done quickly -> Phone begins downloading security patch (or it begins with next step - not sure) - Done quickly -> Attempt to set up an account (Google) whilst phone is downloading security patch - account setup waits for security patch update - Proceed to developer options - OEM Unlock toggle is available - Toggle during download.

I strongly suspect that there is some trigger associated with either downloading a security update, or simply attempting to enable an account on the phone (which requires you to be connected to data), but I do not know which. It is likely that there is not specific time sensitivity involved, but I am including my exact actions that resulted in success.

I hope it helps. Happy development!

Were u able to get bootloader unlocked
[Moto G7 Power Guides, News, & Discussion] humanWithAPhone:
Yes. The bootloader is now unlocked. I did have to obtain an unlock code from Motorola. The primary issue here was the inability to toggle "OEM Unlock".

I still think its one of the best browsers even though it has shown its age simply because of the saved pages feature and the pie controls.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] The Bownz:
I got my completely free cases (one for ultra, one for just the note 20) today. Seem nice. Buttons are snappy. Seems durable. I will post a better overview later tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] The Bownz:
So an update on my case...

I actually like this case a lot. It feels pretty durable. The sides have a grippy texture. The buttons,like I said previously, are very responsive, which tends to be a big issue with other cases. The case also has a usbc cover flap, which I find super helpful, as on my pixel 3xl, the usb c port is the first thing that broke on the device. The case is thick enough to eliminate the camera bump on both phones.

The one place that this case seems to have issues is the kickstand. Perhaps it will wear over time, however I have a really hard time opening the kickstand and retracting it. The design forces me to use my fingernails to open it, however I don't really have fingernails. My wife seems to have no issues with her note 20 case/kickstand (however she does have fingernails to open it, and she does have a hard time retracting it. ) Perhaps this issue will remedy itself over time/use.

I think this will replace my spigen case my wife had and will definitely cover my note 20 Ultra.

Thanks a lot Schnail!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] mike28:
Got my case today for my note 20 ultra

Feels good in the hand it's rugged enough to protect the phone, but less bulky than other heavy duty cases, the buttons are clicky no issues pressing the button.

USB port nice detail for extra protection, will keep posting my experience as I use it daily.

Good job SCHNAIL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] vudu:
Received my cases and giving the Ultra one a spin. First impressions are that this is a nice looking case and feels good in the hand. The kickstand takes a little prying to take out and it doesn't seem to work in portrait mode (the pictures on Amazon makes it look like it does). Wireless charging worked on a flat charger that I have, but doesn't on my other stand charger. I'll keep it on for a couple days before giving additional comments.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] mikeregister:
You have to force the kickstand in to a locking position. You will feel like you're gonna brake it and it will snap into place. Will be a little difficult to close and you will feel like you will break it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] makavelisk:
Got my case yesterday and I have to say I really digging this case. I normally tend to buy really thin cases but this just feels good in the hands and you have protection for days!! The grip and rubbery edges just feel good and secure in your hand. The buttons are the perfect amount of click. It actually makes using this phone one handed a lot easier especially with the curved edges (I also open the kick stand and stick my middle finger so it's rests perfect in my hand). Grabbing the edge handle is also effortless now with one hand. So far wireless charging is on deck for both sitting up and on its side with the official Samsung fast wireless charger. The only two things I am not a huge fan of that I need more time with is the kickstand and the charging port cover. It feels like the kick stand is getting easier to open and lock into place but I am waiting for it snap and break everytime I use it. As for the charging port it just feels unnecessary with a phone that is ip68. Besides those two small items which is just me being petty Roosevelt (had to make a few Flossy references here) it is a really awesome case and is a major major go! I'll give more thoughts after a few more days of use and fidgeting with Kickstand.

Same here re: thin cases. I usually like the thinner cases, even though they don't offer as much protection. But this Schnail case does feel really good and the added bulk is still comfortable. I can see myself using it around the house also (vs just when I'm going out).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Haunt3r:
Got my case today. It feels fantastic. It's thin enough it isn't uncomfortable to use but also feels like it provides protection. I had to position my popsocket in a weird way for the kickstand to work and there's two very small portions of the popsocket the adhesive is going to wear away but so far so good. Also the buttons feel amazing compared to my last case (some cheap 12 dollar one.i grabbed just to keep it protected) thanks for the case Schnail.
