i noticed a phew other bugsit doesnt show up if conect it to my pc and i cant format sd to internal storage
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
OP has been updated to include a script (sm-t500_fixes.sh) that can be run in TWRP to fix the brightness adjustment and to make Magisk work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
I see those two issues, but I don't have a fix for you. Troubleshoot it and submit a patch if you find one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ak1998:
Hi, I tried flashing vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in userdata slot on odin. But as mentioned in OP my data isn't wiped. After that I tried flashing the twrp image from AP slot and my device restarted and booted to the stock rom. Then when I tried to boot to recovery mode (I used adb reboot recovery command) I am booted to stock recovery not TWRP that I flashed from Odin. Am I missing any step. Also I still see the secure download is enabled in download mode, even after I flashed vbmeta.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Nice but one problem can you please use google drive since mega has this stupid Quota crap and I can't download the rom if you can that will make me happy Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Try resetting your device (wipe it from the os) and then go through the unlock process again and try flashing again. Make sure whenever the device gets wiped that you go into the os and ensure oem unlocking is still enabled, otherwise the device can relock itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Didn't know about the quota. I'll post to AndroidFileHost later today.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Alright Thanks, It's just that Mega wants you to pay more
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
BTW I would use mega for some smaller stuff and for Roms use AndroidFileHost
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Only reason I used Mega initially is that you need to be approved as a developer for AFH and I wanted to release the stuff before I was approved.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
oh right and Touch Works finally lol but now I can't install Lineage OS for now
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
OP has been updated with links to AFH.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
alr thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
I tried the gapps but it failed with ERROR 7 and if I use Mind the GApps it gives me an error saying This Device isn't Play Protected Certified
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
The certified error won't go away, you'll need to register as a custom rom by clicking through the link on the error page.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ak1998:
Tried doing factory reset and flashing again. And I verified that OEM unlocking is enabled in dev options. Actually after I flashed vbmeta, my data was not wiped (mentioned in OP that data will be wiped after flashing it). After flashing TWRP and trying to reboot to recovery is still taking me to stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Are you booting into the stock OS? because I did that and it restored Stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Tried that but it still is showing
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ak1998:
yes, odin automatically rebooted the device after flashing vbmeta and it booted to stock os. How did you manage to overcome it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Might take a little while or a few reboots to go away. It persisted for a little while for me then finally went away within an hour after registering. Make sure you're on wifi of course so it can talk to the Google servers to update
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
I had Odin opened with the files already on there and what I did was I waited for the "Device has an unlocked bootloader" screen to disappear until it says "Your not using Samsung's official firmware" and then Press and hold the Power button then the Vol up button and let go off the power but hold the vol until you see twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
ah ok, and Magisk won't install properly is there a file dedicated to the tablet, or do I need to reflash?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ak1998:
Or should I prevent odin from rebooting after flashing twrp image? If so from download mode, is there any way to reboot to recovery? Because till now after flashing twrp, I am booting back to stock os so that I can use adb to boot to recovery. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ak1998:
ohh ok. Thanks, will try that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Yes, the fix script is in the OP and needs to be run from TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ak1998:
I tried this, holding power and volume up button on bootlogo with warning screen, is making the device screen go blank and then it is coming back to boot screen with same warning and booting to stock rom again. I have been holding the buttons the whole time. Any other way you know of to boot to recovery without booting to stock rom. Actually this is my first experience with samsung devices. In my redmi devices, after flashing recovery in fastboot, I used to do fastboot command to reboot to twrp. But for this device while it is download mode, my PC is not recognizing it as a fastboot device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
You have to start holding the buttons with the power off and the cable unplugged. By time the bootlogo screen appears, it is too late. And most Samsung tablets don't respond to fastboot. You can try, with the tablet on, to hold Vol dn + power for about 7 seconds. As soon as the screen blanks, switch from Vol dn to Vol up while still pressing power and keep holding them till the warning screen is replaced by the second logo screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ak1998:
Thank you!!. Able to boot to TWRP now and also flashed the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Myrmeko:
I have just two questions.

1. Does it work on T505 since it's basicaly the same thing, but with LTE?

2. Does it support Treble? Well, with a little bit of modifications, of course. Since "vendor", "product" and "odm" are sepparate folders within the same partition, and not inside the "system" folder like back in the old days, could it be possible to take a GSI, unpack it, put the "system" folder where it belongs and repack the whole thing with the "vendor", "product" and "odm" folders back into the "super" partition image?

Edit: Also, the Lineage you ported, was originally a GSI?

@agreenbhm

Just to be clear. I'm not asking you to build anything. I just wanna know if i can install TWRP on mine. Or even Lineage, because i neither use, nor care about the LTE functionality. If i remember correctly, this wasn't a problem on the other Galaxy Tab series tablets. The stuff was interchangeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
If the reply didn't work you can use ADB but that's gonna be a doubt since it might restore your recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Your Welcome
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
So wait how do I flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
There are instructions in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Alright but how do I fix the storage issue because if I try to Install an App it fails and says I need to delete an app so I have more space on my tablet
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Format data. All of this is in the OP. Please read it thoroughly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Ok, but when will there be MTP Support?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
As of now I'm not working on any additional fixes. You're welcome to try one yourself and submit a patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
Oh alright I'm not good at making patches
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
You can use TWRP for file transfer, or, as I do, Wifi File Explorer Pro. Using wifi allows it to transfer in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I know MTP is no big deal, but in case you are interested, the devs for the T510 had the same problem and I think they solved it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] EdwardTCM:
damn that sucks for them as well
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jason7246:
what version of the rom should have the wifi fixed? i tried the SM-T500_LineageOS_18.1-Beta2 version and the wifi wont turn on, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Wifi was never officially broken. Make sure you're on the stock ROM ending "BUF3" first and then install twrp and LOS again. No reason wifi and bt should not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] BrokenBee:
Did ya try? I have a T505 as well
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
1. I don't know, I don't have that model. Try it and report back.

2. GSI implies Treble. I did exactly as you're describing to port it. I took the stock super.img and replaced the system partition with the Lineage GSI.

I don't see why TWRP wouldn't work on the LTE version since that's not used in recovery anyway but I'm not certain. You probably would be safest to make your own port if LOS by replacing the system image within the super image of the ROM for the LTE version with the Lineage GSI from Phh. Look into the tools "lpunpack" and "lpmake" for a starting place for how to do that. It's really not very difficult. TWRP was the part that took me a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I can't count the number of times I've seen this question asked over the years. "Does this ROM for the SM-Txx0 work with the SM-Txx5? They are the same except for the LTE modem." I've yet to see the answer be "yes". Same is true for the SM-Txxx vs SM-Pxxx. Doesn't work. You might try doing what #agreenbhm did with the GSI for the T500 using the one for the T505 and create your own ROM, but I doubt very seriously if this one will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Annonnimmouss:
If I flash the rom and then format and install another rom I will still have this space to install Gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Annonnimmouss:
I'm new to this but i think the rom increases the size of the superdirectory so i wonder if i change roms will it still have the same space so i can flash the gapps? I asked again because I think what I asked before was difficult to answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
What ROM are you planning to change to? I thought this was the only one available for the T500.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Annonnimmouss:
No, I don't intend to change roms, lineages already satisfy me, it's just a question I have.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
The super partition is a finite size but not all of the space is filled. The Lineage GSI that I replaced the stock system image with was about a gig smaller than stock. I then expanded the size of the file system so that there was about a gig of free space available for installing Gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Myrmeko:
Ok. Perfect. I'll try to do exactly that.

Just need to extract the super.img. I think it was doable within TWRP if i remember correctly.

If not, i'll just have to look into it.

Thanks for the tips. I'll look into those tools.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Myrmeko:
I've seen the answer be yes and no.

The roms from the HTC Desire 500 are interchangeable between the dual and single sim. The roms between the S4-Mini models with the same chipset are interchangeable.

Note 4 with Note Edge are also interchangeable to some degree (some just don't boot).

S6 with S6 Edge are interchangeable (some issues like flipped touchscreen, but easly fixable with a patch).

But i've also seen some that don't work. That's why i asked.

I have no idea if Samsung changed their mind regarding the interchangeability of their ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Dual or single sims are both still LTE. Not the same as LTE vs wifi only. And I guess if you look hard enough, you can find exceptions to any rule. Want to bet that this ROM will work on the T505? My bet is slim to none.

edit: I noticed that none of your examples are Tab As and some aren't even Samsung. If you'll notice, my post referred to SM- tablets.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] //.dax:
Anyone that can compare performance difference between stock ROM and this one?

Honestly stock kinda lags at basic stuff, I'm hesitant to flash this ROM as I'm pretty used to One UI, but if the performance is significantly better, then I see no reason not to try LOS
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
I've succeeded in getting to boot TWRP, but when I try to format the data partition, I get two error messages "Failed to mount '/keydata' " and "Failed to mount 'keyrefuge'
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ogkillergreen:
Performance is noticeably better with LOS. It is very smooth compared to One UI on this device which is very laggy IMO. Obviously it's not as stable, but I recommend flashing it

Plus if you don't like it, it's easy to go back to One UI
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
That is expected and should not affect usage of the ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Good. I edited the line in nikgapps.config file that said

InstallPartition=default

to say

InstallPartition=system

is that correct? When I tried it, the tablet will only boot to TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Yes, that is correct. Try wiping the cache partition and formatting data again. Hopefully it should boot after that. If you're still stuck trying reinstalling LOS without Gapps and see if that boots. If so we can figure it out from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Tried wiping cache and formatting data. Still only boots TWRP. Factory reset wipe and install LOS without gapps and it boots OK. But no google stuff. I'm going to try editing the config file and pare down the install list and see if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Are you using the Omni Gapps package or something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
NikGapps for ARM64 and Android 11/R.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Right, but which one specifically? You need to use the Omni version otherwise you may run out of space.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Didn't realize there was more than one. Downloading OMNI now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
OMNI does the same thing. Still won't boot to system.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Is it giving you any error when installing? Maybe post a copy of your nikgapps.config also.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
It will have to wait till tomorrow when I have some free time. But thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
These are the errors when flashing gapps. I get the same errors when flashing LOS but LOS works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
That looks normal to me (mine looks the same but still boots). I'll post my nikgapps.config later today and maybe using mine will help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Annonnimmouss:
I can use core or basic, or it's only possible to flash the omni on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
I think you can probably use those also, but Omni is what I used and can confirm works. I tried stock at first but it failed due to space (though it seemed like there should have been enough space, so that might have been a misleading error).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
This is getting really frustrating. The OMNI I was using was dated 20210709 so I down loaded the 20210718 and edit it. There was one more setting in your config file addon_version.d=2 instead of 3. Made that change. I finally got it to boot system but after setup it just keep yelling at me that my tablet isn't play protect certified and can't run google service
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
That is to be expected. You need to register your device as a custom ROM in order to get that to go away. Click through the link on the notification page and the instructions will be there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
More frustration!! Seems registering requires I install ADB and drivers for the A7 and then run some commands. But even after install the driver, ADB doesn't see the device and wont run "adb root". Plus I'm having a hard time booting TWRP. Hold vol up and power but don't know exactly when to release each button. Not the same as on other Tab As.

edit: I got adb working. I had to skip over registering and put up with the nags long enough to setup usb debugging with root. But I'm apparently typing something wrong in that long shell command. Is there any other way to get that id?

Exactly how should this be typed"

adb shell 'sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db \ "select * from main where name = \"android_id\";"'
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
Try just typing: adb shell. This will drop you into a shell (should be root if you already ran" adb root"). Then you can just run the "sqlite3 /data/data..." command from there rather than figuring out all the quote escaping. Then when you are in sqlite3 run the rest of the command (the select statement).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
No, but reboot recovery from shell, does work.

I've been using Samsung tablets for several years, so until this model, there was no need for adb. IOW, it's been quite awhile since if used it. I know how to get to shell but I'm not sure of the syntax and punctuation of the commands needed. I know its an imposition but would you mind "spelling them out for me"? I can cd /data/data to get to the com.google.android.gfs file, but what are the exact commands to run from there? I've tried but keep coming up with "inaccessible or not found" results.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] agreenbhm:
adb root

adb shell

cd /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases

sqlite3 gservices.db

select * from main where name = "android_id";
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] lewmur:
Thanks, That makes a whole lot more snese than that long string in Play Protect direction. I'll give it a try first thing in the morning.

Not sure, but I just wouldnt. That charger doesnt look like it even has a cooling fan, and all that heat on the battery is going to be awful on the battery longevity.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] null0seven:
You are joking, wright ?..

With around 60 $ Usa you can get OnePlus 50w wireless charger, from Aliexpress. I did.

This days they have some summer offers. I found one with 54 or 56 $ , free shipping.

I use 30w wifi charger on my "old" OnePlus 8 Pro. AWESOME ! Works fine on 9 Pro too. But i already ordered 50w . Waiting to arive.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] lil_rain:
I've been using HTC U11 Plus as my main phone since the day it came out. I absolutely love this phone. In my opinion it's the best phone I've ever had. I never felt the need to get a new phone. I've been gaming, working, etc. and I never had any issue with it.

Two days ago all of a sudden while using my phone it got stuck. None of the button were working and the screen also had response so I pressed and hold the Power button and Volume Down button to boot into recovery mode. So i could clear cache and reboot again but my phone doesn't seem to reboot. It just turns off when I select reboot now. I even tried "Wipe data/factory reset from the Recovery menu options" and then delete all user data option and then Reboot system now to restart your phone. Still no luck. As soon as I press on reboot system my phone just turns off and doesn't reboot or turn on at all.

Even when I put my phone on charging there is not light to indicate that my phone is charging at all.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Notorious_PDR:
Same problem here... Screen flashed white, phone rebooted to encryption screen to enter pin, then powered off... Hasn't been back on since (thins happened in October 2021).

I'm interested in a possible way to get the data off the phone, even if some parts swapping is involved.

PS. I changed the battery thinking it was that, but the phone still isn't coming on or showing the red battery charging light.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] gentle_giant:
I guess it is time for you both to use ADB. When installed properly you should be able to see your phone in device manager on Windows systems. That in itself would be a good starting point. Or just fire up ADB and check if ADB detects your phone. If you are unfamiliar with ADB, Google it.

In ADB use: *.\adb devices* (without the *) If it works properly you should get a return with a device number. You could then flash a boot image or system image or both and see if your phone start's up again.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Aurora1:
Hello,

same Issue here.

Solution is to heat up the Phone above 50°C and hold the temperature while it run and copy Data.

I have spend 40h+ to Backup Data and heat up the Phone.

Seems for me to the same problem like the RROD at Xbox360.
