I did everything in the tutorial and I reinstalled the twrp everything went well I thank you for the help, I don't know what I would have done without your help 👍One last question, do you have any idea how to clear the system? 🤔To avoid deleting it by accident again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
How do you mean, clearing it? If you delete/format/wipe this partition, your system has a good chance it won't boot and/or do anything. Or do you mean that the option will be hidden in TWRP? There is some way I think, but I need some research for that first.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] klisman123:
It was mistranslated, it said how it is that I deleted the system by accident, do you have any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
I don't know. You accidentally selected it in TWRP while wiping?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Seems I'm far to stupid to get into the installed TWRP :-(

I've installed stock A11 Rom (latest CVG3), successfully unlocked the bootloader (checked it in dev options that it is really unlocked) und successfully installed the latest TWRP (twrp-3.7.0_11-0-T290XXU3CVG3-20221120.tar.md5) via Odin ...

But if I try to get into the TRWP recovery, I only get a black screen (only with backlight, nothing else) :-( :-( :-(

Can s.o. describe the exact steps (and the timing) to get into the TWRP after flashing it ???

I'd appreciate any kind of help .. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lifehackerhansol:
Your steps are correct.

Are you still able to boot to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Yes and no ... ;)

I have to get into the download mode (that works blind means without screen display ..) and install stock via odin .. so 'back to the beginning' works flawless ..

The only issue is that I can't manage to get into TWRP after install .. oder better can't see anything but a black screen .. :(

Even when installing the stock rom via odin the tablet screen remains black .. not until the first boot of stock the samsung logo appears again ... 🤔

btw: happy new year :):):)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] klisman123:
If that must have been..... Happy New Year 🎇🎆👍

One more query when I turn off my device and put it to charge it does not go past this screen.....will it be because I previously deleted the system or is it the twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lifehackerhansol:
Could try disabling auto reboot in Odin, and then manually try to reboot to recovery via Vol Up
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Hhhhm .. you mean turn the device off (how when in download mode ?) and then start it with 'power' and 'vol up' to get into recovery mode ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
That's normal. I have the same issue, and it's because you use the bootloader from Android 9 Pie on an Android 11 operating system. If you want it to correctly charge, your device must always be on while doing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] klisman123:
thank you 👍

To all the 'black screen victims' after trying to enter the freshly installed TWRP:

@Viggen66 ; @xompax ; @patmasxda ; @themace51 ; @AndreSchw ; @Netrambler ; @billye.perrin ; @captaincrook ; @zolotiyeruki

Did any of you managed to solve this issue ?

If yes, how ? ;)

If no, any idea which commonality we may share ? :unsure::unsure:

I've managed to install custom recoveries and custom roms on at least a dozen devices (even on Samsung phones and tablets), but this device is gonna driving me nuts .. :mad::mad::mad: ..

Any help appreciated ..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
After a couple of tests I think I found the reason, but yet not a solution:

My device (shipped with Android 10) doesn't like the Android 9 bootloader ! Even after flashing the Android 9 stock rom (ATF1), the screen goes off and stays black ...

My theory is, that Android 9 stock may have an old partition layout (A-only device) instead of the newer partition layout (A/B device).

So for you guys with a device shipped with Android 9 this TWRP works flawless while for other devices -shipped with >= Android 10- the screen becomes black after installing TWRP.

Even after unlocking the boadloader (A10/A11) my device doesn't shows any warning screen which I have to accept with the power botton (like 'older' devices), so that's also an indicator that we have different behavings of devices shipped with Android 9 or the later ones ..

So the challenge would/should be to create an TWRP without rolling back the relevants bootloader components (imho aboot.mbn, maybe also vaultkeeper.mbn ?) to Android 9 and to provide an A10/A11-adopted vbmeta ?

@Magendanz :

Are you willing and trying to help ? I'm willing to test and/or supporting you with more informations if needed .. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
That's nice to know. My device came with Android 9 Pie, and has no issues to installing whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Yes, you're one of the lucky users who can follow your rooting guide .. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
By the way, can you post this issue on the issue tracker on GitHub, if you have an account or want to make one?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
:ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lifehackerhansol:
This tablet remains A-only. Samsung did not switch to A/B (nor is that feasible without accidentally losing data). If you flashed TWRP and it did something different, then it has a recovery partition, and thus does not have A/B.

If you really want to check, there are many apps on the Play Store that checks for A/B. If I am to be proved wrong, let me know, as this does affect LineageOS which I maintain for T290. But I have seen no such behaviour when digging through the stock ROMs available for this device.

The latest TWRP (and pretty much the one ROM for this tablet) requires Android 11. You must be on it before doing anything else with it, or it will fail to do anything useful for you. The kernel, the blobs, they're all based on the Android 11 stock ROM. There should be no reason to downgrade anything.

TLDR: dude just update to latest stock
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
That is exactly what I told in my rooting guide with TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
Did you manage to find it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Well, I assume you're right ... for your device ..

Mine (on A11 as well ..) seems to behave differently, see attachments.

Treble Info say it's an A/B device ..

Even when you're looking for the stock firmware you can see a difference in the naming scheme of the files:

SM-290_1_20210607...BUE1 (latest A10 firmware, may _1 meens A-only ?)

SM-290_2_20210622...CUF8 (first A11 firmware, may _2 meens A/B ?)

Could it be, that samsung changed the partitioning scheme from A10 to A11 ???

The result could be that the ones that did an OTA update from A10 to A11 remain on A-Only while the ones who sold the device with A11 or did flash it with stock A11 now are on an A/B partitioning scheme ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Tested that by myself:

Good idea, but no satisfying results .. After flashing the TWRP.tar the device won't boot neither without aboot.mbn nor without abboot.mbn and vaultkeeper.mbn (see attachment).

Atm I'm stuck and hopless because even trying to get root without TWRP (by flashing an magisk-patched AP ) was unsuccesful ... :cry::cry::cry:

Other tips/hints/advices by your side ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
No, I'm sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Minionguyjpro:
You could try patching the boot image with Magisk and then flash it using Odin. This may work, and then try to flash the Android 9 bootloader. This will allow the device to use the patched boot image which is pre-rooted.

When you have done that, you could install the Magisk APK.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lifehackerhansol:
Your screenshot shows that there is no seamless updates. A/B must be able to do Seamless Updates. If it cannot do Seamless Updates, then it isn't A/B. Google calls A/B and seamless updates the exact same thing: https://source.android.com/docs/core/ota/ab

This app appears to assume that all devices that are system-as-root are A/B devices, which is not the case. system-as-root works on A-only devices as well, and is often the default configuration for many devices on stock and on custom ROMs. Perhaps this should be suggested in a bug report to the app developer.

In fact, as far as I'm aware, there is no Samsung device that support seamless updates. Not even the Galaxy S22 supports it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Unfortunately I've tried that already, result see attachment in the post before yours (-> secure check fail) ..

And as soon as I flash the A9 boatloader, the screen becomes black/blank :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 2faraway2:
Ahh ok, thanks for clearification :)

Then I'm wondering why s.o. can flash an AB-GSI on this device ... ? :unsure:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lifehackerhansol:
A GSI is differently built depending on whether a device is system-as-root or not. When seamless updates were first launched, A/B devices were the only devices that were SAR, but now all modern devices are SAR. This is why people call it an A/B GSI, although the name isn't entirely correct in today's standards.

So A/B GSI: system-as-root, A-only GSI: not system-as-root. Since we are SAR, we flash A/B GSIs, and A-only GSIs won't work because our kernel will not support it.

So anyway, no Samsung device has A/B to this day, and we are no exception. The problem with your device and TWRP lies elsewhere.

@Magendanz I'm not well versed in building recoveries, but I do have a fully functional LineageOS build. Do you wanna try taking my boot.img and repack it into TWRP? Entirely possible the stock boot.img just hates us.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
The boot.img isn't used in building TWRP, only the kernel. I suspect your LOS build is already using the OEM kernel. Sadly, I've been unable to build the OEM kernel from source on this device without breaking wireless capabilities. For TWRP on the SM-T290, I'm just using the OEM prebuilt kernel as-is. The downside is that we often need to modify Samsung kernels to get MTP working with GSIs, since they use their own proprietary implementation.

[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stev067:
I know that we have the camera ring LED app that some are liking for notifications, which is great, because I've really been missing the notification LED from my 2XL. I haven't gotten it to work great yet. Seems there are still some UI improvements coming, and possibly some concerns with battery drain. I was hearing of an LED for the proximity sensor, that was bugging out for some users and that got me wondering, could this LED possibly be wrangled into being a hardware option for a notification? Is it a physical LED, or just a couple pixels on the screen? Even if it's the latter, I wonder if it could be a viable option. I definitely don't have the time or experience to dig into it, but I hadn't seen anyone mention it yet, so I just wanted to put the idea out there. It seems like it could maybe be a low power, reliable option. Kind of like when dev's unlocked the hidden LED on the Nexus 6.

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] NuroPreak:
Hi,

I read several posts where people talk about 7..9 hr SOT I start to doubt about the quality of the battery inside my pixel 4a.

Mine is usually depleted around 4hrs, no special apps no gaming only browsing, some YouTube, spotify nothing special. Most of the time using WiFi and good/moderate cell phone coverage.

I already disabled screen notifications, AOD display.

And not sure what else I can do to improve the standby time.

Any tips?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] NuroPreak:
30wakups /hr seems a bit high?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Makes no sense to discuss alarms/wakelock/wakeups in the context of SOT. Besides, the former has little correlation to overall battery life with modern Android builds.

Panel brightness is generally largest variable in perceived battery life which is one reason comparing SOTs is problematic unless that variable is controlled. Consider your settings to see if it's a factor.

Radios (signal strength) and CPU are the next biggest consumers. SOT will almost certainly be less for active gamers vs casual browsers. Connected devices (eg: fitness band) can also take a toll. Make sure GPS receiver is only on when needed. A dirty finger scanner or stuck proximity scanner (rare) can be huge drainers.

If all that seems 'normal' the you may indeed have a bad battery. Device should be under warranty; reach out to Google or seller for a replacement.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] NuroPreak:
Thanks for your detailed answer, I'll perform a test with lower display setting, although I already think this is not the issue here. Because over the day screen off I also experience battery drain -2,5%/hr.

Any test I can perform to check battery performance?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
Ah - that's a different matter. I can easily score idle drain rates <0.2%/hr on my 4a. Biggest culprits for idle drain are social and fitness apps that intentionally evade Android's native power management tools. Verify 'adaptive battery' is enabled and no unexpected user apps are shown as exceptions under 'battery optimization'. Restart your phone in '"Safe Mode" (Google for instructions) to see if the idle drain persists. If still no joy install one of the legacy battery monitoring apps like BBS or GSAM (available in the play store) to see if they surface one or more culprits. You can also post a BBS idle dump in the BBS thread where 'good seminarians' will offer commentary on what may be causing the drain.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
0.2%?!? Damn! I always look for and am happy with less than 1%. Crazy. You must get days out of the battery
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] DB126:
That's idle (screen off) drain rate with only SMS (text) exempted from what is commonly known as 'doze'. Stock A11 configurations; device is not rooted nor have I gone to any length to optimize behaviors. It's a breath of fresh air after many years of 'tuning' hardware, kernels and ROMs to my liking.

Those running a handful of active social apps along with corresponding notifications will see substantially higher 'screen off' drain rates.

Yes, I can score "days" off a charge if I use my phone sparingly. Typical use is somewhat different; I usually recharge every other day with 30-40% remaining. That's obviously much better than others report because I use my phone only when another option (tablet or laptop) isn't readily available.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Allen77777:
I usually use my phone 3-4 hours a day because I work 10 hrs but when I go to bed there's still 60% remaining. On the weekend I charge once a day and use my phone constantly (youtube/reddit) with a remaining 20%. Battery definitely doesn't last as long as my old 7t but honestly I have no trouble with it with dark mode/adaptive battery/auto brightness/ restricting permissions to "only when app is running". Like others have said I'd check your battery health and maybe tinker with your settings
