On this device I flash the .zip in TWRP. (change the .apk ending to .zip) It should work in LOS recovery to for those using that. I have several devices running LOS recovery, I flash the .zip using LOS recovery, the same as you do other .zip, using adb sideload.

Don't flash modules or add-ons in TWRP, that will cause problems these days. Those get flashed in the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] TheTofu:
Ahhh, that's probably the issue. Tried a bunch of different things to see if I can get magisk to uninstall without having to wipe but no luck, I'll start fresh again and give the zip method a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] OhioYJ:
Did you rename the file uninstall.zip and flash it in TWRP? That used to be how Magisk work for uninstalling? I'm making the assumption that functionality is still there? (I've only used it once)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] TheTofu:
Tried from the app, renaming zip, reflashing boot, recovery, etc.. nothing worked had to wipe and restart.

Good news is, installing by renaming zip worked a treat and didn't kill my sound or sensors, bad news is now my internal storage is behaving oddly because I've flashed AP so many times.

I tried reflashing stock while re-partitioning which should have fixed it but it's still saying I only have 19GB of internal storage so need to do some more troubleshooting.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] topaza:
I have wifi issues with this tablet. This already is an issue since I got the device. However as I instantly switched to LOS I have no experience with stock ROM.

The issue is that the connection breaks down if I am farer away from the wifi access point. Any other devices like smartphones still have a good wifi connection while the S5e disconnects. I would expect a tablet to even have a better antenna than any smartphone as there is much more room for a good antenna...so is this maybe just a software issue?

So is this a general hardware issue with this tablet or a LOS issue? What are you experiences regarding the wifi coverage with this tablet?

/EDIT: I am on the current LOS release but also had the issue during several month with several older releases

Anyone else had problems since updating Magisk to version: v25+

I've got the same issue with Magisk and audio.

Then tried to re-flash TWRP and from now on unable to boot anything but TWRP.

Is there any way to boot without formatting data or some weird boot chain security stuff will never let me do so?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] makkonen:
Yes, flashing 25.2 from within magisk (25.1) trashed recovery (which was twrp at the time, ftr), so I could no longer update.

Manually reflashing twrp from the twrp app got me back into recovery, but after that system would no longer boot.

Turned out to be some sort of corruption with the addons.d directory. (at least, I think.) Also prevented me from taking a nandroid backup.

Since I couldn't decrypt to find the right folder/file to manually delete, I eventually gave up, wiped everything, reinstalled the latest lineage recovery and os, gapps, and restored from combo of google backup and seedvault. Then reflashed magisk from recovery and it worked fine.

Reminder to keep up to date backups, everyone!

Hi,

apologies if this has been mentioned before (thread search still doesn't work since the change of forum software), but the 2.4 GHz WiFi channels 12 and 13 don't seem to work, regardless of the regional setting of the tablet.

It's easily reproducable by switching the channels on the WiFi router, channels 1-11 work fine, but if channel 12 or 13 is selected, the tablet doesn't even see the WiFi AP any more. I'm not sure if this is a problem of the firmware or the ROM itself, but it does happen at least with the two latest firmware releases (T720OXM2DVC3 and T720OXM2DUL1) and the last three nightly builds of LOS 19.1 for the gts4lvwifi (didn't check other releases).

As those two channels are forbidden in North America, I assume either the firmware or the ROM just ignores the regional setting and uses North American or international settings instead.

Would be nice if anyone could look into this.

[EDIT] This was probably the cause for the problem I reported here for LOS17.1 already, so the problem might exist a lot longer than just LOS 19.1 or the latest firmware releases.

My apologies to Luk1337 that I apparently hadn't responded to his answer there, I have no idea why I didn't see this and in fact can't even remember to have reported the problem back then.. I must be getting old, sorry.

I heard that this is a hardware issue known with the s5e unfortunately
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] pinsb:
OK, I'm stuck and not quite sure how to proceed.

I'm using a stock 64GB 4G unit, that has never previously been flashed as far as I can tell.

So the first thing I need to do, following the instructions, is flash the VBMeta.tar file.

I follow the instructions to do that, unlock developer and enable OEM in settings, power off, use both volume and power keys to reboot, get unlock bootloader option, try to flash VBMeta.tar and get a (paraphrased) "unable to flash non Samsung/Official firmwares" type message.

Looking at that screen I notice that prenormal is showing and that may be the issue, but the info around about prenormal seems a little confusing and disjointed (changing date/time manually, waiting 7 days after unlocking bootloader).

Could anyone with actual experience with this prenormal issue perhaps give me some pointers how to resolve it please.

Haven't you try to close (force stop) and than reopen the file manager ? Btw, does the button long press option to stop foreground app works ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] moridinbgg:
When I try to format an SD card for use as internal storage (Samsung Evo Plus 256GB), around 40% formatting the tablet reboots and then enters into a bootloop where the lockscreen appears for a moment, then reboots. This keeps happening until the SD card is removed. If I insert it while the tablet is running it bootloops again. If I format it on the computer it again offers to format it, fails at 40% and bootloops.

Is this a known issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] lazydesi:

sorry which button? is it long press power button?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
You can use long press of the Back button after setting "close foreground app" from the functions list in buttons menu in the settings.Thiis option was present in settings but did not work iin 19.1 earlier. Did You apply exactly "force stop" to close the File manager rather than move it to background with pressing "exit" which does not really close app ? For example, the Mixplorer does not show (without additional settings) any new files in the most of directories except such as "Download" until you close and reopen it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] maruchandd:
I have a case that triggers auto-screen off when closed. But if I leave it overnight or so, with wifi on, I'll come back with like 30-40% battery drained due to the wifi being on. Ideally, the wifi would shut off immediately when the screen off/sleep mode is activated, or at least have an inactivity timer. On googling I see settings from old android versions to set "keep wifi online during sleep mode - never" that would accomplish this, but I don't see any such setting in this version.

Can this be done - auto shut off on screen close/sleep, or auto timeout after disuse of tablet?

Hi, I'm quite inexperienced new user, I managed following the instructions on first page with some difficulty to update my galaxy tab s5e LTE (SM-T725) to Lineage 19.1 with MindTheGapps package. Everything seems to work fine, I only notice a slight overall slowdown of the tablet. I would like to ask you experts a question. I saw that Android is updated in August 2022, while the manufacturer's security patch level is stopped in December 2021. Is this normal? An original Samsung firmware is available on the Sammobile website, in my case for Italy, updated to 08/08/2022. Is it possible to update the manufacturer patch?

I have tried the following:

Pulled a brand new Kingston Canvas Select Plus 32GB Micro SDHC card from the package

Inserted it in my Linux laptop to verify that it is formatted as FAT32 with no files present

Inserted it in my S5e tablet running LineageOS 19-202208-15 official (gts4lvwifi 128 GB)

Chose portable storage. It was available and usable pretty much immediately

Put it back in my Linux laptop, removed the partition and re-created a FAT32 partition

Repeated step 3 and 4 with equal success

Put it back in my Linux laptop, now recreating the single partition with an ext4 filesystem

To my pleasant surprise, LineageOS happily will offer to use it as portable storage; step 3 and 4 were equally fast and successful

Made a picture with OpenCamera, letting it store onto the SD card

Put it back in my Linux laptop, verified that the picture was there and the filesystem still ext4

i was not aware that ext4 is now supported as portable storage; that did not work many years ago when I last tried that.

What I have not done is to try using it as internal storage. This is known to work badly on any Android device if at all and is generally recommended to avoid like the plague. I don't even want to try it to see if it will work on my device.

I really see no point in doing it on a device with 64 or 128 GB of internal storage in the device. Internal storage is way much faster than any SD card and many apps will simply refuse to use an SD card formatted as internal storage.

With an SD card formatted as portabble storage you can store various kinds of data on that, leaving plenty of storage for apps and their internal data on your device.

I remember using it way back when devices had much less internal storage and it was troublesome at best back then (in the times of CyanogenMod 7). From what I read about it, it hasn't improved since then.

It might be that the attempt to format your SD card as internal storage has left it in a state where LineageOS can't properly format it for portable storage anymore. You might want to try reformatting it to FAT32 on a Windows or Linux PC. I remember occasions were neither Android nor Windows were able to reformat a card, but Linux was able to recover it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] moridinbgg:
Formatting as internal storage outright fails and leads to a bootloop with larger SD cards (256GB & 128GB 100%, smaller might work) on LineageOS. What works is "mount --rbind" between the card and a folder in the internal storage. I am sharing about 200GB of raster & vector maps from a single folder between OruxMaps & Locus Map
