I have never had this problem with this phone before. But, after changing the radio to 1.54.70.11 it worked great... for a while. Then, it suddenly got really slow to find a network. I flashed back to the last ATT radio (1.54.07.00. Now it takes about 3-5 minutes to sign onto the network.

Any thoughts?

Not sure how big florida is, but the doctor seems to have better luck with a 1.47.30.10 radio.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
I had issues with 1.54.07.00 taking a while to get a signal after being inside a building or in a rural area that had no service. Sometimes I had to turn the phone off and back on in comm manager.

1.47.30.10 fixed that issue, but I am testing 1.54.70.11, just flashed it last night. I had been getting some dropped calls and such. Hopefully I don't have those issues. I'll be going back to 1.47.30.10 if I do.

btw I am on Cincinnati Bell Wireless in Ohio, and from everything I read, it seems to be very similar results with people on T-Mobile here in the USA.

ok i have a tilt with google maps installed (l26 just put out a new rom)

the thing is, i dont have a data plan with my phone. So when i was toying around with the new stuff that l26 put on his new rom and opened up google maps, the gps was working. Am i going to be charged the data that was used? and how was it possible for google maps to work if there was no data plan?

also i also wanna know if i have a wifi connection open, google maps will use the wifi data?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] strikeone:
^ yes, if you are connected to the internet via wi-fi, Google Maps will use it [the wi-fi] and not access you carrier's network for data.

Introduction

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.

TWRP version: 3.5.2_11

Thanx a lot bro. was looking for it. working fine. is there any custom or modified samsung rom without bloat sothat we can use this recovery for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
Glad it's working well for you. And to be honest, I've tried a few GSI roms and they work well, like crDroid GSI and CAOS GSI... I've been trying to cook up my own port of a few ROMs also to no avail yet but soon...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
How do I install the GSI ROMs because I only get Boot Recovery dtbo vbmeta_samsung VBMeta and Super (system vendor odm product)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
You have to use a patch called DynaPatch v1.5. It patches TWRP to be able to install individual images to the super dynamic partition... I don't know if I can post a link but if you Google DynaPatch v1.5 you'll be able to find it, just flash via TWRP and then reboot to Recovery and it will show system, vendor, product etc in the install
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
Oh alright thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] EdwardTCM:
I got the file but nothing happened

Edit: Never mind I fixed it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
Enter TWRP recovery

Select Install – select DynaPatch-v1.5.zip, Swipe to confirm Flash

Select Reboot – Recovery or Turn Power off

One time only to flash this patch except you reflash the TWRP recovery

The images attached are to show that it works.. I show a before the patch is installed and then after its installed... make sure you follow the directions above.

Aight, after i unlocked the bootloader, everytime i try to flash the vbmeta or even the twrp, it fails. any idea why?

"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(vbmeta)"

I'm having a problem with stock recovery overwriting TWRP. I have the latest stock, BUJ1, installed. I flash vbmeta and recovery with Odin and boot into TWRP. Format data and reboot recovery. Everything works fine. Reboot to system and go through the setup, make sure developer mode still enabled. Again, everything appears to work. Download the DynaPatch and copy it to the T500 SD card. Turn off the tablet and attempt to boot TWRP. It's gone. Back to stock recovery. What am I doing wrong????
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
read post below... sorry ... tried to edit and it double posted...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
Thats my bad, youll want to use the multidisabler to fix that.. I have added it to the twrp.. once twrp is installed go to Advanced > Terminal and then type multidisabler then press enter. This will disable the stock recovery restoration.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Mogster2K:
What if I don't have TWRP installed yet but the tablet is rooted with Magisk? Is it okay to flash TWRP from within a running system?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Thanks. That worked but I flashed DynaPatch and then lineage-19.0-20211216-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvS-vndklite.img in super and it bootloops. Any ideas? Of course this was after format of data and factory reset wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
You'll have to reflash stock super or extract the stock super img and flash vendor, product, odm, then the lineage to system
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] paziusss:
Also @lewmur will need the lineage-19.0-20211216-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite.img variant. Not a64
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Thanks. Got LOS 19 to boot. Do you know what gapps to use with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
Nikgapps Omni is the usual suspect

What if I don't have TWRP installed yet but the tablet is rooted with Magisk? Is it okay to flash TWRP from within a running system?

You can but more than likely it won't be decrypted. But it should work. If not can always just flash stock recovery and go from there
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I tried NikGapps-alpha12-arm64-12-20211228-signed.zip It appears to be too big but the usual fix for that is to use /Wipe/advanced and choose the system partition and resize. But the system partition doesn't appear as an option.

edit: Found NikGapps-omni-arm64-12-20211224-signed.zip but it failed too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
Try, NikGapps-omni-arm64-12-20211227-signed.zip. Also make sure you have a nikgapps.conf file configured to install into system. You can get the conf file from the nikgapps site in faq
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Downloaded nikgapps.conf and edited InstallPartition=system. Created /sdcard/NikGapps folder and downloaded the conf to that folder. Still bootloops

I'm going to try Pixle instead
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
The GSI I use personally is: lir-v314-211223-arm64-bgZ-lite.img.xz -- out of all the different GSI I've tried, it seems to work the best... plus has gapps already part of it...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I tried Pixel and it says it is larger than the destination and there still isn't a way to resize the partition in this version of TWRP. Can you post a link to download what you are using?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/treblerom/files/LiR/2021.12.23/lir-v314-211223-arm64-bgZ-lite.img.xz/download

You can try flash blank product.img to see if it will give the extra room. I attached the blank product.img

hi, how did you dencrypt the stogae on the tablet? mine is encrypted and i cant install a gsi
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
You need to use multidisabler 3.1 -- https://xdaforums.com/t/pie-10-11-s...of-stock-recovery-proca-wsm-cass-etc.3919714/

After installing this to remove encryption, you then need to Format Data > yes
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] craaziik:
yeah but since my tablet is encrypted i cant flash it i think or maybe with fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
You can still flash it... first you will want to copy it to microsd card or usb flash drive, also... depending on which TWRP you are using, I have built the command into the terminal multidisabler... so that it will run without having to flash the zip... however you can still flash it, just make sure its on external sdcard or usb then flash it then Format Data... or try Terminal and type "multidisabler" then Format Data after its done..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] craaziik:
hey sorry for that the sotrage is now decrypted
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
Awesome! I'm glad you were able to get it working. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] craaziik:
and how do i get the gsi running?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] smedlytonker:
Having difficulty removing the FBE (File based encryption). I have run the built in 'multidisabler' by using the terminal under the advanced menu. I have also installed the 'multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip' from above. Following running either one of the disablers I do a format, but the encryption returns once I boot Android which then makes it impossible to backup the device state.

My goal is to be load several applications and configure them then backup the applications with their configuration settings.

I'm running stock android (SM-T500_1_20220124224743_e9izxstv6g_fac.zip downloaded using Frija)

*Update*:

I was able to fix my problem with FBE on my SM-T500 moving from TWRP recovery to SkyHawk recovery: https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-gta4lwifi-sm-t500-sky-hawk-recovery-project-3-1-01-06-2022.4384921/

This version in the link above is built off of TWRP version 3.6.0_11-1. It seems to work well and my tests show that I can backup of my device remove a bunch of software and setting and then restore from the backup and I'm back to the same state. This will be awesome for my use case which is to identically configure 400 SM-T500 identically.

FYI - make sure to go into the Tweaks menu and select 'Disable Force Encryption'

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] smedlytonker:
I'm able to do it now also ...Not sure what step I was messing up on. But I'm back to using the regular TWRP as there are some bugs in Skyhawk that caused me to move back.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
What bugs? I have Skyhawk installed but haven't used it much.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] smedlytonker:
The recovery would crash and restart when I installed zip files intermittently (not great).

Lacked the ability to programmatically reboot into the OS which for most people is not important, but I'm writing an automated script to root and load software on hundreds of tablets and part of the configuration has to be done in the OS. One of the commands that does not work 'adb shell twrp reboot' - just cycles back to the recovery image.

Seems like their was more but I don't recall now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
You obviously know more about adb shell cmds than I do, but it would seem to me that "twrp reboot", instead of just "reboot", is telling it to reboot into recovery. Just a thought. BTW, thanks for the replay.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ragarcia87:
DISCLAIMER***

Back up before trying and Im not responsible for bricks, etc..

It should work, I've known others in the past to use the SM-T500 TWRPs on SM-T505... it shouldn't matter that its LTE or WIFI due to it only being TWRP, the partitions should be the same, etc...

As far as I can tell, doesnt matter 500 or 505 the bootloader should be able to be unlocked...

if you cant unlock the bootloader then you cannot install TWRP at all, im sorry...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] elswerky:
When bootloader is unlocked in 2ducational A7. , On boot after reset Knox detect that software is modified and you have to lock bootloader again to be able to boot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I'm guessing, and it is ONLY a guess, that Samsung sold this model at a big discount with the intent that it only be used "for educational purposes". That said, if you succeeded in unlocking the bootloader, you can try booting to download and flashing a regular STOCK ROM via Odin. If you can get that to boot, then you could proceed with TWRP. If that doesn't work, then you are probably just out of luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] elswerky:
Here software centers can make it like normal sold A7 by changing educational software like normal software but when you factory reset tab, it return back to educational software

I did changed software in one if software shops and unlocked bootloader,, but after I u locked bootloader ,,tab reset And on reboot asked to connect to wifi Bd detected that software has been modified And didn't continue and I have to lock bootloader again ، then after locking tab reset and asked to connect to wifi and detected that tab is owned by my organization ( educational territory).

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I don't understand. If T505 firmware doesn't work, how would you expect T500 to? I understand you are just looking for help but you would be better off asking in the general "Questions and Answers" thread than one dedicated to the T500. My guess is that if the T505 firmware didn't work, it wasn't because yours is a T505N but rather that you have the wrong version of the stock firmware installed. Your version of stock has to match the version the T505 TWRP uses. It should say in the OP for the T505.
