Hi, I want to use Google Pay and have downloaded the app - however although my bank supports Google Pay the app says "this feature is not supported by your banker this card yet". What feature are they talking about? All I want to do is to use my phone in shops where normally I would use my card. Any help most welcome! The card is registered with Google at the moment.

Which slot to flash the vbmeta?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
AP
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] wizzdome:
Thanks,

After flashing the vbmeta it booted into recovery automatically after what looked like a bootloop in progress, so I wiped with factory reset and then it rebooted fine. (still not sure exactly what the vbmeta does I was hoping it would make it so i didnt get that stupid pop up asking me to hit power button to continue booting due to it having the patched os) anyhow booted fine and twrp installed as you stated without touch screen but mouse with otg works fine. (great job so far) On to LOS... I think I should have checked oem lock before flashing LOS as when I installed I get stuck at boot screen that says oem lock is on... must have been from my factory reset... (facepalm)

Nope... Still sticking on boot with the following showing on the screen...

RPMB fuse not set

RPMB Provisioned

Current BInary: Custom (0x30f)

FRP Lock : OFF

OEM Lock : ON (U) {this was off verified before flash}

KG Status : Checking

Waranty Void : 0x1 (0xE02)

Quallcomm Secureboot : Enable

RP SWREV : B3 (1,1,1,3,1,1) k3 s3

secure download : enable

grdm status : normal (d0000501)

did : 041ce2d22dba

this is displayed in the corner on the bootscreen and looks like it belongs on the download screen, anyhow booting into twrp from this point works however factory reset fails with unable to mount key(something and key(something else) i figure i will let it sit a while as I know sometimes it just takes first boot a while to go through however it doesnt seem to be the problem. Have you had a positive install of the LOS? I am wondering if I had maybe gotten a bad copy of the file. When i go to install I get a pass in odin so not quite sure where to go from here other than back to the factory image any help to get this going would be great... I took on this task cause i needed someting to take my mind off the severely crappy week I have had... so looking forward to anything you can share here...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Actually, userdata is the slot I always use. It might work in both though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Something to mention: there is not enough space on the /system partition to flash Gapps. I created a build that supports it (with a resized /system partition) but I couldn't get it to flash via Odin. The only way I got it to work was by flashing it via TWRP as an img file. I will be posting that soon. Unfortunately that will be the end of development for now as I hard-bricked the device and need to wait for a repair or replacement. Should be back developing in 2 weeks.

Get adb access in the OS and then run "adb reboot recovery"
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jayzarry84:
question. I don't have an OTG cable and TWRP keeps booting. I've tried rebbot, rebbot bootloader, reboot system. any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
You may need to get an otg cable for a USB mouse and choose "reboot system" from the gui. Alternatively, look at the /dev/block/by-name/misc partition and try blanking that out with dd. That has worked sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Also, from an adb shell, try "twrp reboot". Supposedly that should boot to system, but I feel like in testing I got mixed results. According to the TWRP documentation though that should be the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jayzarry84:
Not working. I'll wait for my otg cable to come in
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jayzarry84:
I was able to use adb to run the TWRP Format Data command and it rebooted the tablet and now LOS has booted up. I think I'm good!

Rom is fast and snappy. Brightness control does not work. I haven’t played too much because of work but that’s what I’ve found so far
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jayzarry84:
Can a mod move this to the rom release section?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I've not been able to flash this yet but I know that the latest TWRP versions have a way to fix the system partition to accept gapps. /Wipe/Advanced check system then resize. Sometimes you have to do it more than once if it is a large gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
I will look into that, but I'm not optimistic it will work. This device does not separately present the system partition, rather it uses a super partition which contains system, vendor, product, and odm. TWRP only shows me the super partition for working with. I was able to resize the system partition by expanding the Lineage image and file system on my pc to match the original stock system partition, then rebuilt the super image with the other partitions it needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Sift:
After registering my device I can install apps from Google Playstore but in Playstore settings it still shows Device is not certified, is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Yes, that's to be expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Sift:
Well that settles it then.

To note I do encounter something. Before this I installed Magisk and Swift Installer. Must be something Swift Installer messed up or something and my tab kept rebooting every 1 or 2 minutes even after uninstalling both Magisk and Swift Installer. Booted back into TWRP and wipe data. Now I'm not rooted and tab is working fine.

Just something to mention. I can live without both of the apps mentioned.

Thanks for the wonderful rom, now my tab works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
The reboot thing happens if you mess with some root binaries on the device (and possibly other things). If you install Magisk use the fix script in the OP to make it work without causing the reboot issue. For theming, there is built in stuff within the Phh settings app that will hopefully cover what you wanted to do with Swift.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Sift:
Did the fix script before installing Swift Installer and still happened. I'm not too bothered by not having root so it's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Mogster2K:
Is it necessary to flash vbmeta_disabled_R.tar to use TWRP? I tried flashing it directly on an already-rooted (stock) system, but when I tried to make a backup I got the createtarfork() error.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
If you were booted into TWRP then the problem isn't vbmeta. Try saving your backup to an SD card instead of internal storage. I'm thinking perhaps the encryption of the internal storage is causing your error.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
That worked for getting the number and I used it to register. I no longer get the constant nag and setup is now restoring apps from a google backup, but I still can't run Play Store. That still pops up the screen saying Play Protect isn't certified. But if I tap play.google.com on that screen, Play Store opens. I guess I can live with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Give it a little time and a few reboots. Eventually it goes away.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Installed Magisk and ran the fixes script. Got an error on the rm line saying no such file but the tablet seems to be running ok. Have root and brightness control.

edit: there is a /system/xbin/su file but no /system_root directory. Should I delete the /system/xbin/su file?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Don't delete anything or you risk causing it to randomly reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I'm getting the same error trying to backup to the SD card. Have boot, data and super checked.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
I don't think you'll be able to back up data with any positive result because of the file based encryption, but I'm not positive. I haven't tested backup but will give it a try. In the meantime try unchecking data and see if it succeeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
It works with data unchecked. I guess I can use Titanium to back up data.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Yea, I'd go that route. Data secured with file based encryption is not something that has a clear way to access via TWRP. I tried looking for solutions on multiple occasions but haven't found anything yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
On the T510, formatting the data partition got rid of the encryption and installing custom ROMs left it unencrypted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Unfortunately that's not the case on the 500. The 510 I believe uses a Mediatek chip vs the Qualcomm SoC in the 500 so it's not really comparable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] skyler13:
anyone managed to get play store to let them sign in? my t500 keeps saying device not certified even after registering it and leaving it over night, have tried multiple reboots as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Try wiping data for the Play Store and Google Play Services. You may need to register again after that, but it definitely should work. I've done it several times with this device during development.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Before it started working without the not certified screen, I was able to get in by clicking on the play.google.com link on that page.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] skyler13:
Tried that which didn't work also tried to re-register the device and it comes up with device already registered.

tried clicking the link but it takes me to the page to register the device which i've already done but still cant access the play store
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Farciminis:
Rom is great but I'm getting some major freezing in games that requires a hard reset any ideas for a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Please capture a logcat at the time of the freeze and post that. I've not experienced that myself but I don't game so I haven't been in that scenario.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Farciminis:
When it freezes up logcat just spams this
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] //.dax:
Okay, just installed and first impressions are.. mixed

1. My purchased apps from Play Store cannot be downloaded again (Sync Pro for example)

2. How do I actually install Magisk? Renaming APK to ZIP and flashing it, then running fix script makes tablet reboot every 2 minutes still. App even says that there's an unsupported su binary or something like that
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
I don't know about #1.

#2 happens if you don't use the fix script from OP. Make sure you do that. If you have, then reinstall the rom and then install the Magisk apk and patch your boot.img and then flash that file. Don't do the Magisk zip from recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] //.dax:
The first one actually bugs me much more tbh

I'll try to make Magisk work with patching boot.img, since the script didn't work

Edit: should I just use stock kernel IMG, or the one from LOS?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
There is no LOS kernel included. You need to use stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] //.dax:
Flashed stock patched, Magisk app says:

"An "su" command that does not belong to Magisk is detected. Please remove the other unsupported su."

This is after using the script too

Edit: and it started doing same thing, freezes after 2 minutes and reboots
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
The message in Magisk is fine and can be ignored. It should not be rebooting though obviously. Did you reflash the rom (super partition) first?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] //.dax:
Yeah, I did a clean install
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
You did run the fix script after the clean install and Magisk install right? And you wiped data?

You should take a logcat and post that from when it crashes. Are you doing anything in particular during the crash or is it just after about 2 minutes regard of what you're doing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] //.dax:
No matter what I did, it happens

I'll try some more debugging, if I'm still hopeless, I'll try to send logcat but only maybe tomorrow

Thanks for helping though, appreciate it a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
I see the log mentions the charger. Are you on the charger while this is happening? If so, try taking it off and see if that makes a difference at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] luniz7:
Can someone help me out? I followed the directions exactly and all I get is a bootloop no matter what I do. Do I need to rename the SM-T500_LineageOS_18.1-Beta2.img to something different? Also the SM-T500_LineageOS_18.1-Beta2.img is being flashed via TWRP?

Ive been out of the android scene for a long time and this is a little new to me. Im good with adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
No, you don't need to rename the file. Yes, you flash it via TWRP as an image to the super partition.

Are you installing Gapps also? What have you done so far?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
It always amuses me when someone claims "I followed the directions exactly" and it didn't work. It would have worked if that were true. Instead, to know what step was missed or done incorrectly, the post should give a list of exactly what was done and how it failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
I seen that before I was about to download it but then I saw this and downloaded this one and it's much safer than that link
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] luniz7:

Anyone noticed gifs/videos making tablet freeze for some time?

Apps like Twitch and YouTube (sometimes even Samsung browser) stutters after the video starts
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
I have it's well annoying since most of the time I would watch a video It buffers and wont respond and sometimes I have to force restart it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] xazakasrizava:
So I'd say this ROM is quite usable but I'd wait a bit more because although it is much faster than stock, it tends to freeze up quite often. Other than that everything worked fine. Can't wait for future updates because stock android is absolutely terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Agreed and i'm starting to get mad over the build locking up
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I just watched an hour program on Amazon Prime and then streamed a live TV show for 30 minutes and didn't any lockups or buffering. What apps are you using that lockup?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Well it's Firefox Beta Discord and YouTube
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I just tried the YouTube app and had no problems. Or are using the Firefox Beta browser to play YouTube and discord.com? Have you tried another browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] GarlicBreadFox:
1. How do I enable developer options on this ROM? I don't see it anywhere (and no, tapping on the usual build number etc doesn't do anything, except for google/LoS easter eggs).

2. How do you guys install Magisk? I see everybody just casually mentioning it as it's not a big deal but there's even a special section about Samsung on Magisk website, so this is not trivial. Specially considering what firmware to use etc. Care to share your knowledge?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Dev options: /Settings/System/Advanced and scroll to bottom.

Magisk: Download Magisk-v21.4.zip and flash with TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] GarlicBreadFox:
Thank you, I will both later.

So Magisk basically, using the "unsupported" method (I had to use it for another phone as well recently), sounds good. The AP OG Samsung firmware is 4GB, cannot imagine what patching that and applying on LoS would do.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
AFAIK, patching AP really just patches the boot image within the archive, and then when you flash AP it would flash all of partitions it contains, including boot. Since AP includes the super partition (which in turn includes the system partition, where Android/Lineage resides along with Gapps) by flashing a patched AP to your device you would overwrite Lineage and be back to stock with the exception of now having Magisk in your boot image.

You have 2 recommended options for root:

1. Extract the boot image from AP and patch it using the Magisk app within Android and then flash that boot image to your boot partition from TWRP or with Odin.

2. Flash Magisk from within TWRP which will patch your boot image in-place without requiring any modification of anything from AP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] GarlicBreadFox:
Sounds good thanks for the extra details. I should stick with 2 yeah.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
2 is probably the easiest. Personally I prefer 1 because I have more control over the process.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Annonnimmouss:
@agreenbhm

I noticed, while using TWRP, that it doesn't support installing GSI's, do you plan to bring this support, or won't you modify it anymore?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Annonnimmouss:
@agreenbhm

And if you don't plan on modifying it anymore, can you tell me how to bring this support?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
I have no plans to continue updating TWRP. I'll most likely be updating Lineage as new GSIs come out and the stock ROM is updated.

Unfortunately I don't know how to do what you're asking about. You can find my device tree for TWRP on my github and build off of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:

got stuck at stage 3 lol 'flash "vbmeta_disabled_R.tar" via Odin'

Linux user, Odin runs but it doesn't recognize the tablet

Any instructions for doing it with adb?

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
No to adb but you can use Heimdall in Linux instead of Odin. Or, you can use a Vbox session of Windows to use Odin. I've checked that and it does work. You just have to make sure you capture the USB port in the Vbox session.

Has anyone managed to setup an sd card as internal storage?

Mine reaches 40% then spits out a toast message with "Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.os.storage.VolumeInfo.getId()' on a null object reference" and my sd card changes to corrupt. The sd card should be fine, i used it for installing lineage n stuff and stored media on it before.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Annonnimmouss:
This happens because TWRP cannot read and decrypt the internal storage.
