[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] AnonVendetta:
I have decided to make publicly available the latest Tab S7 Plus TWRP build by @afaneh92, which i've tested all the way up to Android 14 gsi ROMs, and stock firmwares, I've found that it works fine. Moreover, it is newer than @ianmacd's builds, and i've not noticed any weird behavior. In particular, @ianmacd's builds gave me issues with MicroSD partitions mounting and backups/restores.

I did make a minor mod to it so that it will automount my MicroSD's 2nd partition, but this wont affect functionality for anyone else, so it can be ignored.

Currently, @afanah92's account is disabled, i doubt he will return in the future. I dont know the reasons behind this, and have nothing for/against this user. But he deleted his builds from AndroidFileHost, which naturally makes it harder to obtain them, except from a user like myself that already had it stored away. Because his build is the only other available TWRP build for the plus models, i feel like users should at least have access to an alternative.

In the event if/when that mods remove the download link from this post, interested users may private message me for the link.

Technical info:

1. Only flash on Tab S7 ***PLUS*** models! Not on non plus models.

2. The downloaded file is a tar file, use a PC and flash this file with Odin (recommended software to use). Or, if you're already running a different TWRP build, you may extract the recovery.img from the tar and flash this from your current TWRP.

3. There is a file in the root of the vendor partition, called recovery-from-boot.p. You must delete or rename this file, or else you might lose TWRP, being reverted back to stock recovery. Easiest way to handle this is to delete or rename the file with a root file manager app (of course, you must already be rooted to do this).

Mods deleted the link. If you want a copy, send me a private message.

Is there a stable fully working twrp build yet? (Also would like clear instructions on how to exactly do it on this device while keeping stock rom). Where would I get the updates for stock rom to update with root and keep data?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ianmacd:
This one is stable, although MTP doesn't work, so it's not "fully" working. In every other way, however, it's perfectly usable.

Root the device first with Magisk, then install this, run the multidisabler and format /data.

To update, just flash rooted firmware with Odin and then rerun the multidisabler. No need to format /data again.

If you need more detail, consult any generic guide to rooting 2020 Samsung devices. They are all the same in this regard.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bluwolf024:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ wifi only (SM-T970)

I am trying to use odin or any method to load twrp recovery.

I've tried via odin but crashes odin when I add twrp.tar to AP slot and hit start.

When I try via adb it says remote command failed when I use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

OEM unlocking greyed out and on

USB debugging on

Rooted via magisk

I can post some pictures later. Let me know what info is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
What version of odin are you using? I use Odin3_v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD and it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bluwolf024:
Tried using this version it still crashes on me.

to confirm i put trwp.tar into AP slot and thats it correct?

twrp-gts7xl-3.4.0-1a16_ianmacd.img (repacked to .tar)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bluwolf024:
Finally got it

Fixed just needed to relearn how to read.

"rename the image recovery.img and tar it before flashing"

I renamed the .tar file not the .img file

installed multi disabler via twrp all should be well now

Thank you all
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bluwolf024:
How are updates performed

If I download a software update how do Install it without losing data preferably.

If I use odin both magisk and twrp will need the ap slot , correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] elliwigy:
if ur rooted y not just use dd.. or twrp app
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bluwolf024:
Because I didn't know how and I had instructions for odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] vangry2020:
1. FLASH the new firmware update using odin and use HOMECSC in the CSC field and use VBMETA.tar in USERFOLDER FIELD.

2. FLASH TWRP and disable encryption and from TWRP install Magisk Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bluwolf024:
Thank you, whenever i reuse odin I always get a screen telling me to factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] vangry2020:
In odin use the homecsc file instead of the usual csc file that way it will keep your files intact.

Cannot figure this out

I cannot get this to work. This is my first Samsung device.

I managed to unlock the bootloader and flash the VBMeta thing, but renaming the TWRP img file to recovery img, putting it in a tar file and flashing that to AP using Odin does absolutely nothing appart from resetting my device, I still have the stock recovery.

Furthermore, downloading a firmware for this device (my tablet has ATJ4 at the end, but the only firmware I could find was ATI2, which I downloaded) and trying to patch the boot.img.lz4 inside the AP file in Magisk Manager also doesn't work, it apparently fails to repack :/

want to try this, instead of downgrading? https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s7/firmware/SM-T970/XSP/download/T970XXU1ATJ4/485236/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Shervrar:
Downgrading?

I feel like I am missing something here.

Either way thanks, I am currently download the firmware that seems to be on the tablet.

After it's done, I will try patching the file in magisk again...

Still not sure how to get TWRP installed though :/

Fastboot boot seems to just...not work

And flashing the recovery via Odin does nothing at all :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jhill110:
You have to un-tic reboot in Odin. TWRP won't stick if you don't.

After odin is finished boot into twrp and you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] rosrog:
Try carefully reviewing and following step by step instruction by ianmacd on page1; if you have any problem with the "recovery.tar", I'll see if I can send you a working one.

Thank you so much this helped. It now finally works :D

Could you please send me this tar? Seems like I cannot create right one...

Odin stucks with "File analysis.."

And - I tried to do it with my SM-T975 =) I thought - if it's cool for 976 AND 970 - why not to try with 975?.. =)

Will it work on 975? Same codename - gts7xl...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ianmacd:
Then you didn't properly rename the TWRP image inside it.

Yes, it should also work on that model.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] ianmacd:
Evidently no-one has even requested the kernel source code from Samsung, because it's not on their site; and the device has been on the market since August.

That suggests very little interest from users, who probably number very few compared to the T97x models.

Request the source and I'll try to find the time to build TWRP for your model.

Questions

Sorry to bother everyone, but I’ve read many conflicting things about rooting the Tab S7 on many different forms. I was hoping maybe someone or some of you can help clears things up a bit.

1. No matter which way you root, once you unlock the boot-loader, DRM Wolverine L1 will be lost and become L3 (no HD Netflix) until you unroot and re-lock the boot-loader.

True/False?

2. If you root with TWRP that will trip Knox (which I’m cool with) and break DRM wolverine L1. However if you reload stock back on, you’ll regain DRM Wolverine L1.

True/False?

3. If you trip Knox at all, you loose DRM Wolverine L1 forever. Even if you reload stock, it’s gone. There is no fixing this.

True/False?

I would great appreciate any and all answers. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] NullCode:
Sorry man I actually know nothing about DRMs (since I am the biggest pirate to ever exist)

From my 5 minutes of research, I have concluded the following:

1) As soon as you unlock the bootloader, some sony devices lose Widevice L [idk about Samsung]. But if your primary concern is Netflix, people have confirmed that you can bypass the no HD junk using Root and Lucky Patcher.

2) As soon as you flash TWRP, you can say bye bye to Knox Warranty Bit (cuz it will be gone forever). All the security features related to KNOX (Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, OTA updates etc.) will be GONE [You can still patch your framework and fool Secure Folder into working by using SmaliPatcher].

3) DRM and Knox are not related. But unlocking bootloader IS related to breaking DRM [on sony devices]. But as stated above, Netflix can be patched using Lucky Patcher (my go-to pirate app).

Hit thanks if I helped pls

You will not lose Widevine L1 if you root the device and install TWRP.

Sadly it seems there's no custom rom or LineageOS available for the Tab S7 or S7+ ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] LSS4181:
Yeah, at least not for now. Not sure if anyone has managed to boot a GSI on the S7/S7+. I'm still holding on stock until a working custom ROM or GSI is available...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Markeee:
Broke my Pixel C changing the battery been running LineageOS and other roms on it for years. I'd love to grab the S7+ but the fact that there's no rom support has me worried it may never martialize. I don't even see much talk or interest in the unit here rom wise

What do you think ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] LSS4181:
Given Samsung devices have Knox and some people might still have use for its features (such as Secure Folders), the interest in getting root or custom ROM at this point (while it's still supported and updated) can be low. I've been thinking about this myself as well, whether or not I should give up Knox and pursue what I really want, although personally I'm never a fan of stock ROMs and they often have issues or limitations that could usually be worked around with rooted custom ROMs...

Trying to get GSIs to boot might be another way out. My current phone (Razer Phone 2) doesn't really have a specialized custom ROM, but can already boot different kinds of GSI (including Android 10 ones) and they're working really well.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Markeee:
I'm not following the GSI Trebble world do you think there will be some serious releases that will work with the S7/S7+ any time soon or at least by the time support is ended years down the road ?

Been a long time since I've owned a Samsung device maybe 6yrs forgot how much of a hassle it can be to root and flash deal with Knox but after reading around the forums here seems like it may of gotten worse and maybe a strain to re-learn it all.

I been living in goggle land with my Pixel C Tab and Nexus 6 for a long time both are super easy to deal with just flash and go no issues.

I'm torn between 3 choices say WTF buy the flagship S7+ live with stock for a while maybe forever, or settle for and buy the Tab S5e which already has official LineageOS support and then strain in the not so new user friendly LineageOS forums re-learning how to root flash the thing or just buy another Pixel C off ebay for like $100 or so flash the thing and be done ? :)

What do you think ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Rec] LSS4181:
I'm mainly after its 120Hz display. However, my experience with some games is not quite satisfactory, as some effect-heavy games have proven themselves to be quite demanding even for Snapdragon 865.

Anyway, having usable TWRP recovery can be considered a first step, as one can now make nandroid backups as well as flashing other stuffs including Magisk on it.

Like you, I'm yet to hear any reports on booting GSIs, but in theory it should be able to boot one as Treble is supposed to be supported on recently released devices, just not sure how many features would work out-of-box. However, it seems GSI builds are currently being stalled as getting AOSP 11 GSI working and stable is more important.

Thanks for the work on this TWRP build.

I'm having some problems (T970):

I unlocked the bootloader

Flashed TWRP + the vbmeta image together via Odin

Rebooted to TWRP, flashed multi disabler and formatted /data

Booted to system, installed latest canary of Magisk Manager, patched my boot tar file

Flashed the magisk patched file + vbmeta image together via Odin

Magisk is working great, SU access is fine. But TWRP has gone!

What did I do wrong?/What mistakes could I have made?

I have attempted this twice, and both times the stock recovery will return...

Any ideas?

Thanks

UPDATE

After flashing using odin and flashing TWRP + vbmeta image again (after device is set up, with magisk working etc), it's staying. I thought flashing TWRP after the patched Magisk tar might remove Magisk(?) but Magisk is still installed and su is working.

So I think for now, my journey is complete! :cowboy:

Hey there. I've been using android since the galaxy tab A6 2016 came out. I had to move from Windows Phone OS to android and chose the galaxy A50. I rooted the A6 (sm-t580) from the moment I turned it on first time. I have been very pleased with XDA custom ROMs since. Many thanks to the active forum members.

The A50 provided me with a stock ROM that does everything I want and more. I have no reason to root my phone so far. But now I got the sm-t970 and the use of my tablet is a different ball game I now notice.

Since it has been a while I get confused reading this thread so I have one question. I need to consider using Knox features and encryption. From what I read I cannot understand if it's the rooting, or the flashing to TWRP that kills the Knox bit?

Many thanks in advance.
