Welp, I flashed the image on a stock bootloader of Android Pie

with Odin. That was ok.

Forgot to untick autoreboot. Not ok.

Because this, reverted to stock recovery and kg status is now prenormal.

Flashed Stock latest Pie in Odin but now the OEM unlock option is gone and I don't know how to get out of prenormal. The date trick didn't seem to work .
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Please try to avoid double postings.

I answered your question here already.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] solemgar:
Managed to flash it finally. Had to flash via ODIN Oreo stock binary 3 and the prenormal state disappeared right off the bat. I also had enabled OEM unlock option from the moment I booted the stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] theastroboy:
I encountered a bootloop after flashing TWRP 3.2.1-1 by ashx on my Oreo smt820. I found it was due to dm-verify and patches needed to be flashed. It was a scary moment as I never had such an issue with my smt71x/smt81x. Luckily, I was able to recover by flashing an Oreo stock rom.

I have updated my smt820 to Pie stock rom. Can I just flash this TWRP without any patches applied?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Afai remember when coming from Oreo I needed 2 files but when on Pie already TWRP only should work.

Did for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] solemgar:
More welp. Flashing Oreo bootloader binary 3 (for the 825) allows me to flash TWRP fine. The moment I install back bootloader from pie, back to kg prenormal again, even with the bootloader locked. Will have to wait the 7 days and see if it make a difference. From what I read, some roms do not work fine with Oreo bootloader (fingerprint reader)

Just saw TWRP has gone to 3.7.0 with official Android 12/12L support. Will you be building this for our S3 units?

www.xda-developers.com/twrp-3-7-0-release-android-12-support/

I already have your Android 13 version installed on my two T820 units and it's working GREAT.

THANKS
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Thank you for the info :)

I have been trying to build a new TWRP on android-12.1 branch with FBE support, but it doesn't work at all because of its image size I guess.

If I implement some basic FBE support on the device tree, it always reaches about 36 MB, so I tried to compress the ramdisk with XZ compression, which needs some patches to the TWRP Android source tree, it can be shrunk to 28 MB but it still not work.

But without FBE, with XZ compression, it can be 26 MB, and it finally works but has no merit to use.

So the plan is to build TWRP on android-9 branch like before, but with support LOS 18.1, LOS 19.1 with FDE encryption and LOS 20.0 with no encryption for now.

Another post of this thing..

Sad that there are not many options to choose. I don't know why the recovery image size can be a matter on our device, but it apparently is. 🤔

Will share all of the progress and the build instruction for LOS and TWRP, so I hope someone will help us in the future :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
No idea if that can help to determine the cause but I've took the pit file from stock CSC and made it into txt.

Wasn't (yet?) able to calculate the MB size as Idk the byte size of one block but perhaps you know.

On S5=G900F I know for sure that recovery partition is only 30MB big so perhaps it's the same problem here.

Tried DiskInfo as well but that even didn't show the recovery partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Didn't think that we can analyze devices' PIT information. Actually, I don't know the size of each block 🙈

From your file, the recovery size part is this.

----------------------------------------------------------
Entry Memory Address: 0xE8C
----------------------------------------------------------

Binary Type: 0 (UNKNOWN)
Device Type: 2 (MMC)
Identifier: 29
Attribute: 5 (READ / WRITE)
Update Attribute: 1 (FOTA)
Block Size: 391.168
Block Count: 155.648
File Offset (Obsolete): 0
File Size (Obsolete): 0
Partition Name: RECOVERY
Flash FileName: recovery.img
FOTA FileName:

Maybe you did use this PIT Magic tool?

In the screenshot the author posted, block size and the block both has '(KB)' unit next to their label.

Hmm, but don't know yet how to determine the actual size. But it is definitely one of the exact factors we can refer to for the recovery partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Indeed I used that

Didn't know the screenshot.

So acc to the block count=kb the recovery partition size would be 152MB (155648/1024 kB).

So that should be way enough for a >30MB TWRP. 🤷‍♂️

Diskinfo (Kuder Apps) said 30MB for G900F while its pit file names 30720 blocks.

So that matches.

"Block size" I figured out is where the partition starts.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Then, it is peculiar.

After doing my job, I will share the source codes with instructions. Looks like it need to be checked by other developers 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gukovsem:
Thank you for twrp, used 3.7.0_9 to install from Odin, because 3.5.0_9 stuck on running.

With this 3.7.0_9 could install Rom with Android 13 instead previous Android 12.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
I uploaded the new TWRP 3.7.0_9.0 recovery.

Actually, this hasn't noticeable change except that syncing with the latest source tree.

If you don't have any issues with the previous version, you don't need to update the recovery image. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] KeepingItCuttingEdge:
I installed this via Odin because it would not install as an image file in TWRP 3.6.0.

Today I tried to update your first alpha build of Android 13 to the your 2nd release on Jan. 2nd and 3.7.0 could not mount storage. I formatted Data and restarted to TWRP and it did more but still would just bootloop. Could not mount Cache. I tried repairing the file system and still nothing.

Have you tested this?

I have a 2nd T820 that I had not updated to 3.7.0 and the Jan 2nd build updated fine.

I appreciate your work and just letting you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Yes, I'm using this version now. Boot-loop on LineageOS 20 is not fixed yet, you should avoid formatting data partition on the TWRP menu for now.

Something is driving me nuts. Installing twrp on my Tab 825 works but on 18.1 and 19, after reboot the system I can't get into recovery using the volume up and home button). The screens stays black and nothing happens. Reboot the system also doesn't work anymore. I need to install twrp again (using Odin) and from there i can reboot the system again. It works flawless on Linage 20. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Sorry for your inconvenience, you may need to use TWRP 3.6.0 for LOS 18.1, 19. There is no change in the device tree, but something may be changed from 3.7.0 on TWRP side 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] KL643:
No worries :) I thought I also tried it with TWRP 3.6 but I'm not sure. I'll give it another try this week.

Edit : Just tried again, Installed TWRP 3.6, format everything and installed 18.1 but still the same problem. After reboot to recovery, my screen stays dark. From there it's impossible to reboot the device and I have to flash TWRP again to reboot the device.

edit 2 : With 3.5.2 it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
That's peculiar as my T825 is (still) on TWRP 3.6.0-9.0 and LOS19.1.

Good evening everyone, I have a T825, it has flashed the 3.7.0 recovery to root on stock android 9 fw, but when I start the recovery it is very slow and I don't know the reason, can someone post the 3.5.0 or 3.6. 0? Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nob saibot:
I've used Odin to flash this TWRP,but it failed cause I forgot to unlock the bootloader after unlocking it I flash it once more but it also failed cause I pressed the power button after flashing so it booted back to stock recovery so I flash it again pressing the right combination (home + volume up+ power) so it successfully booted to TWRP, then I made a backup to the sys (stock android 9) on my t820 tablet after that I hit reboot and I ended in a bootloop

thank God I was able to boot to the TWRP again and made a restore to the backup I had just made and rebooted back to the sys and everything went ok.

Can anybody knows what was the problem causing this bootloop?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Did you try other TWRP versions?

On my T825 I've started with 3.2.1.1 by ashyxx which worked well.

Stored that, 3.5.2.9 and 3.6.0.9 on my NAS if you don't find them.

Imho no need to backup Sys as flashing stock via Odin should restore that anyhow.

EFS is much more important.

Probably no one can tell you for sure.

Best might be to start from scratch by flashing latest stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nob saibot:
Thank you for your answers.

I didn't try other TWRP versions and I didn't find 3.5.2.9 and 3.6.0.9.

I'll flash LOS 18.1 on the coming days(by God help)and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sarodude:
Hey there. I've got T820 I've installed twrp-3.7.0_9.0-gts3lwifi.img.tar on. There isn't an option to format. I can "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partition". Applying Lineage has failed and it will boot back into Samsung's image after I bail TWRP.

Suggestions? Not sure what I missed here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
I suggest you try 36090.

On my T825 I have format options.

Can't remember exactly but I guess 37090 didn't work properly that's why I'm still on 36090.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sarodude:
Was able to find 35290 - and it had format (and other stuff). Thanks!

Did you update your kernel in 3.7.0? I have had no issues with 3.6.0, but in 3.7.0 it shows me that it fails to mount '/cache'. I have reported this in another of your TWRP threads long ago. This occurs on multiple Tab S3 (t820) units.

Also the initial TWRP screen to modify the boodloader continually shows on 3.7.0 even when the "Don't show this again" is checked.

Just an FYI. THANKS FOR YOUR WORK!!!
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] Medfordite:
I've noticed that every so often, I can pick up the phone and a random app will be open and waiting for input. Things like the camera, Deezer, ,my Reddit app, The Gallery, my Smart home apps, etc.. I haven't been able to figure this out. I tried flashing through Odin, the T-Mobile version of the ROM but it didn't like it (I'm not rooted anyway) as I am now using T-Mobile instead of MetroPCS. This was going on before I tried the Odin method and subsequently, I factory reset the phone to Metro's default. The random launches of apps occurs several times per day and I am not sure if it is just my phone or if it happens to other users.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Saeidparvaz:
Hi guys.

I have a problem with display my phone.

Redmi note 9 global

This problem is related to the phone screen. Like when the phone's LCD is damaged but my phone's LCD is not damaged and the touch and everything works fine. When I use a program and exit it and enter a new program, the menus of the previous program appear on my screen. When the background is white, I do not see this problem for example, when I use iMessage. I had this problem before, but I thought the reason for this problem was from a special program, but now this problem has increased a lot.

For example, I just typed for you by using the keyboard. If I now enter another app, which has a dark background, I can see the effects of the keyboard in that program.

Please help me

I'm trying to flash Magisk, but seeing as there is no TWRP yet, the only method is by patching the boot.img. If anyone could get their hands on that and upload it, I would be very grateful.

If I actually had the skills to do it <i would just pay the little bit of change for the phone just to have it unlocked. Sigh I thought oneplus had a decent sized community for messing with these thngs.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] onyxcode:
Usually, yes but sadly T-Mobile is only (as far as I'm aware) giving these phones out on contract so unlocking is not possible yet.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] daboross:
It's possible to buy one of these on the oneplus store, too, now. I've ordered one, and I'm hoping that since it's not affiliated with any particular carrier, it'll be factory-unlocked?

We'll see, but if all goes well I may be able to upload a boot image wednesday or thursday.

Edit: though, I'm skeptical. Even if you have a boot.img, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, can you really install Magisk?

And if you have an unlocked bootloader, you should be able to extract the boot.img file yourself using `fastboot`. Or at least, such extraction is possible.

Sorry I cannot help with that, update full zip hasn't been posted by OnePlus on its support website, so stock boot.img cannot be retrieved from payload.bin

I've gotten my device, and it is fully unlockable - I've now unlocked fastboot.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get fetching partitions via fastboot to work - I think the OnePlus Nord N200 5G might not support it.

I'm thinking the easiest way forward would be to get a TWRP build working, and use that to retrieve the boot image? Or just wait until oneplus posts a full update zip, if they do that.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] onyxcode:
Ah I see, you bought it from the OnePlus Store. That's awesome to hear! Sad about the partitions though. I'm wondering if the N100 TWRP build would be similar enough to use as a base for the N200, I'm no expert on any of it but it seems quite reasonable.

You don't need to pay it off to get your device unlocked. mobbdeep unlocked my phone even though it wasn't paid off yet and the OEM unlock option isn't greyed out anymore.

However, there's something that's been bothering me: With T-Mobile branded OP devices, you have to fill out an unlock request form on their website to unlock the bootloader. However, I checked their form and there's no option to request an unlock token for the N200 5G, so I'm not even sure if the bootloader can be unlocked on the Nord N200 just yet. Granted, I haven't tried to unlock the bootloader on my device yet. Can someone else try and unlock the bootloader on their N200?

As per my update post (https://xdaforums.com/t/can-anyone-upload-the-boot-img-if-they-can-find-it.4303179/post-85328635), I tried the method using fastboot and it is not possible on this device.

In my opinion, we need a working TWRP or other custom recovery build first. Then, one of us with an unlocked bootloader can flash that recovery and use *that* to grab the boot image.

The only problem is that no one has ported TWRP yet, and installing TWRP will erase the basic recovery so there would be no way to get back. If we get boot.img, though, we can then use magisk to patch that, and *someone else* can install magisk without TWRP and use that root permission to grab the default recovery.

Do you know how to gain elevated privileges over adb without first rooting the device?

As I understand it, the problem is that we have no way to gain root access - no custom recovery usable to modify the system ROM, and no boot.img to install magisk through boot.img. Without a rooted device, is there a way to gain elevated privileges via adb?
