Hi, I was trying it and when i flashed the vbmeta file, my tablet showed "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(vbmeta)" how can i fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Did you unlock the bootloader? Did you enable Dev mode and OEM after unlocking?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] axltrsx:
Yes, but still, it gave that error
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] axltrsx:
Now it says "partition vbmeta

After doing this, does "OEM unlocking" show in Dev Options?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] axltrsx:
Yes, it did.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
So, vbmeta installed OK. If you got this far into flashing "super.img", you must have a corrupted download or your stock ROM version is later than the one used by the OP.

AFH is not reachable. Can someone share the Brightness fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Its been too long since I did it but if you search the tread for "brightness", you should see several post. It just needs to the file to be placed in the correct place and then the sh command given in a terminal app after CDing to that same directory.

edit: If I remember correctly, someone came up with a command that would run each time the tablet booted. That way you wouldn't need to install the fix each time you updated the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Primokorn:
I found it: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-sm-t500...eos-19-1-and-twrp-3-6-1.4421365/post-86868295

There's a while that I didn't touch a (Samsung) device. My main device is a Oneplus 3T so I've never manipulated GSI stuff.

I just unlocked the bootloader. I run a GNU/Linux distro.

Since AFH is not available then I can't do anything for the moment. I need the LineageOS 19.1 Beta2 build to get the GApps.

It seems there's a WiFi issue with OP's build for many people (depending on the region).

After reading @mercurytoxic 's post, he followed OP's instructions then flash a stock firmware via Odin (I would do something with Heimdall) then flash a GSI from an external sd card.

So we need an external sd card to install an update. I don't have one...

It's a lot of new information to understand how to tweak this device :) I don't even know if the LineageOS builds are stable and better than the Samsung firmware lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I'm sorry but it is pretty much assumed that anyone attempting to install a custom ROM will have an SD card installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Primokorn:
The previous Samsung device I modified was a Tab E and an external SD card wasn't necessary.

Thanks for the information. I'll just root.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
NO!!! Never flash AP without BL!!! And if you want to keep your apps and setting use Home instead of CSC. Of course, if you've already done a factory reset in doesn't matter which one you use.

Have you tried using another USB cable? An intermittent connection could cause this problem. Did you factory reset prior to flashing? The only other thing I can think of is that there is an actual hardware failure.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] myemirhan:
Hi everyone, this is my first time flashing a custom rom to a samsung device. I have successfully managed to complete steps 1 to 5. Can someone show me how to complete step 6? I have inserted an sd card with the brightness file inside.

Also, after flashing the rom via odin, when I boot to system from twrp, it sends me back to twrp. Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] axltrsx:
1. No i haven't tried. 2. Yes i did factory reset prior to flashing

So i need to unlock bootloader and flash with no extra steps?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
After unlocking the bootloader and factory reset, you need to boot system, connect wifi, skip the rest of setup and re-enable dev mode and OEM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] hakkers420:
Also wondering this I copied to device but don't know how to install once in TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Wondering if the script can be run after flashing the ROM and rooting with Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] agreenbhm:
You'll want to place it in a directory where you can assign executable permissions, which your SD card may not be formatted to support. You can place it in the /dev/tmp directory. Alternatively you can just execute the couple commands from the script manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Can this be done after flashing the ROM and rooting with Magisk? I tried entering the commands manually after doing that but it didn't help. But trying to do it manually on the TWRP keyboard is wide open to typos.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] agreenbhm:
Yes, though I advise not flashing magisk. The ROM is rooted and installing magisk will cause it to reboot a few minutes after boot. I'm still working on a fix for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I installed and updated Magisk and it isn't rebooting. But I do get a message when I run it, about SU being installed. But I still can't run the sh script. I pushed it to /dev/tmp but TWRP terminal says that isn't a directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] agreenbhm:
Huh, could have sworn I used it before but it could be that some other script I had run created it. If /data/local/tmp exists you can try there instead. Or literally anywhere you can write other than your SD.

Regarding Magisk: did you clean flash this new ROM or update from my previous 18.1 release? It could be that the previous Magisk fix got carried over if you updated. If you clean flashed though then you're running a config that I have had problems with and can't guarantee stability.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I flashed the stock ROM and then vbmeta and TWRP and then this ROM. Then flashed Magisk23.0.apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Found the answer. The problem is that TWRP can't handle encryption. So the script file has to be run AFTER formatting the data partition and before booting the ROM. Then you can either copy or push the script file to /Sdcard and run it from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] agreenbhm:
Technically you can run it from anywhere with a filesystem (like a tmp folder) but if you're trying to run it from the internal storage partition then what you said is correct. I use a micro SD since the internal SD partition can't be used in TWRP after booting the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I'm just going by the instructions in the OP

Boot to TWRP, push "fix_brightness.sh" to the device and run it, then format data.

and it should be the other way around.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] agreenbhm:
Only if you're pushing it to the internal SD. I'll clarify that in the op.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Sabziroy12:
it is not possible to run the script in order to exit the twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] agreenbhm:
Yea, it is. You're doing something wrong. What are you doing and what's happening?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Sabziroy12:
please give instructions for installing the script
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Here is the way I did it. Boot to recovery. Format data. (This means you'll have to run setup again.) Reboot recovery. Check that the only thing on internal storage is the TWRP folder. Copy the fix file to the /Sdcard then open the TWRP terminal and type

cd /Sdcard
sh fix_brightness.sh

reboot to system
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] agreenbhm:
That works but is definitely not necessary to format data if you instead push the script to /data/local/tmp or wherever you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
If the data is encrypted, then TWRP can't read those folders. I know, I tried for hours to find someplace to put the file. You may be able to do that once you've booted to the system, but not from TWRP. And the instructions don't mention doing it after booting to system. I'm very thankful for the work you've done but most of us don't have your knowledge of how Android works and just follow the instructions.

Is anyone else have issues with getting the sdcard setting up as internal storage!!! It pops up some sort of java error , thanks in advance!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
That's because using an SD card for internal storage is a very bad idea. Since internal memory technology solders the memory chips directly on top of the SoC chip, it has become many times faster than the SD bus. Therefore, using the SD card as internal storage drastically slows down the device. I know you say, "But the tablet doesn't have enough internal storage for my games or 4k movies." That is because these tablets are budget priced and not meant to be used for those purposes.

Hi there

I bought a SM-T500 some days ago and flashed this LineageOS-Version which seems to work really good.

But it is possible to customize the bottom navigation bar like old android versions (removing the short cut symbols and put the three navigation buttons to the middle)?

Normally I'm using Nova Launcher and it is not possible to modify the used navigation bar.

Or is there a better launcher which supports that function?

Thanks for your help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] JaneValley:
This probably won't be a region firmware issue but the firmware version issue. Use the (T500XXU3BVB3) one mentioned from the OP. Notes that you will lost all the data if you do this.

No need stop using the vbmeta disabler Magisk has it built in, cracks APIs and safteynet to pass the security checks with modules and the correct setup i have confirmed it works, if bee through endless bricks and start over from Los19.1 all they way back to flashing back to stock back to patched magsik to Los19.1and so forth and haven't needed to flash it, trying to get kernel to Los19.1 with the latest stock installed🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️:alien::alien:, p.s I don't recommend trying to start with the newest stock FW and fighting twrp to quit throwing errors at me for like the last 12 hours. but ill plan on doing a noob guide over everything new I find well the best i can. but with that said in the meantime ill posts the links that helped me get this far and the files you will need!!! as well really the only two files you might need would be the multidisabler and the blankvbmeta but so far they really haven't helped me much, and i recommend uninstalling the 7 Knox apps ( I used luckypatcher.apk, but titanium backup should do the trick as well) and delete the Knox folder in the recovery file manager

I want to load Lineage 19.1 on my SM-T500 tablet, but it has been using the stock rom with the latest firmware T500XXS4CVJ1 using bootloader 4. ODIN won't let me downgrade to firmware T500XXU3BVB3, with bootloader 3. I started with my T500XXS4CVJ1 firmware, and loaded the LineageOS 19.1 Beta2 as described. No issues loading it, but the Wifi isn't working as many have noted. Loading later versions of Andy Yan's GSI didn't fix the issue.

Is anybody working on a Lineage 19.1 ROM starting with a bootloader 4 firmware? A way to downgrade to the previous bootloader version firmware?
