I have A7 sm-t505N

But when I flashed twrp

After I reboot to twrp and format data ,, and boots

It boots without any problem

But when I reboot it after this ,, I get software crash and opens download mode and ask me to to operator or service center to fix it

And I have to reflash official software

Do you know anyway to fix this issue ( I can't get twrp by 5his way because of this software crash after reboot,)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] a dead man:
Sorry, no idea, I only have the tab A8 - and I’m pretty much a noob with Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Magendanz:
Okay, the key takeaway here is that you should not modify vbmeta.img on this device. The bootloader apparently doesn't like the empty one that Magisk creates when you patch the entire AP (or that I used in my first TWRP build). You can either patch the boot.img on its own or remove the patched vbmeta.img from the patched AP that Magisk creates if you follow the official instructions here.

Since by modifying the boot.img you're invalidating the verification data for that partition within the vbmeta.img, the ideal solution here would be to create a new signed vbmeta.img following instructions like these. However, that doesn't seem to be strictly necessary if you're willing to live with the warning on boot.

I've been waiting for staple process before rooting. Was kinda hoping for official virtual ram support.

Does rooting allow vram or would I need a custom rom

Ugh, i patched the whole AP and now my tab is just black. Cant turn it on/off reset, download mode.....nothing. any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Normally you use either HOME_CSS in CSC, which keeps your settings and apps, or you use CSC, which is like a factory reset. But not both. Why would you need both?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Casper Young:
HOME CSC you flash in if you want to keep your apps and app data. CSC will clear all downloaded apps and app data.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Casper Young:
I can almost bet he's putting one in the CP slot.

So is X205XXU1BVI6 (A12) root working? I'm currently in A11 March with root.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
Worked for me - I'm now on Android 12 fully rooted with Magisk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lufee84:
X205XXU1BVI6 root done (X205) but had to fresh reinstall everything as I kept getting bootloop after updating.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Casper Young:
Is there much difference of the X200 compared to the X205? And I've recently had some issues with charging when it says there's some kind of moisture or debris in the charging port, which there isn't. I clean it out anyways which doesn't solve the issue. I have to turn it off so it'll charge. Seeing that you're about to finish a ROOT for this. I'd gladly Beta test any good ROMs you may create for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
All you have to do to unzip a .tar.md5 file is to rename the file deleting the .md5
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You don't need both CSC and HOME_CSC. Using CSC will wipe data whereas HOME_CSC won't.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Mafioso:
anybody managed to root CWA3 (a13 rom) using this method?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
I just succeeded but with a modification. The modified AP file created with Magisk has a blank vbmeta file that isn't compatible with this device. So after copying the file back to the PC, use 7 Zip to delete the vbmeta.img from the tar file before flashing it in AP, along with BL and CSC.

edit: Also, I did NOT extract the boot.img. I let Magisk patch the AP tar file.

Hi, I'm trying to root this damn cursed device and I', failing at the very beginning. I can't force it to show OEM unlock. I was trying most tricks with data changing, downloading updates and even waiting over two weeks after flashing.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
It's hair pulling time. I updated my tablet to CWG2 and after doing so, I can't do anything. I've dl'd the firmware from Frija and Sammobile several times and to two different computers. But when I try to use Magisk to modify the AP md5, the modified file has no boot.img. If I extract the boot.img from the AP and modify it, 7-zip won't let me put it back in the AP. In fact, 7-zip won't let me modify the AP file in any way. Everything I try give a "This function isn't implemented" error. When I google that error, it indicates that means something is wrong with the AP file. But, as I said, I dl'd that from two different sources on two different computers and NONE all of them give the error. Also, I can't get TWRP to stick, or flash the LOS 20 GSI. I know others have gotten CWG2 to work but, for the life of me, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
You are able to flash TWRP, boot to it and after you reboot the TWRP isn't there and it overwrites to stock recovery? Or is it different? If it's that how are you not able to flash LOS in the first time you rebooted to TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
I'm not sure what exactly went wrong for you but the other day I updated to CWG2 and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Went through the same patching process and have flashed a few different GSIs before returning back to stock OneUI

Just a shot in the dark...I usually get my firmware through Samfw.com maybe try there this time
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Don't know what difference it made, but instead of just trying to install TWRP and flash LOS, I went ahead and tried to root stock. Had problems with that. Magisk wouldn't patch AP md5 file and when I patched the boot.img, I couldn't put it back in the AP file. Finally I tried tarring the boot.img and flashing just it. That worked!! Not only did it work, but it fixed the problem with flashing TWRP so I was then able to flash LOS 20 and it is working!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
Good to hear! I know there's been conversations about the best way to root this device. I've always done what you just did with tarring and taking care of the root part before I went ahead and flashed the Samsung firmware. I know you've usually just jumped ahead and didnt root until you got TWRP.

This is exactly why I take care of the root early enough before the firmware is flashed because that will eliminate any foreseeable problems with rooting. Because our version of TWRP is not 100% operational it can't be relied on to always do the job which is why IMO the best option for this device is Odin and patching the firmware

here's how i rooted it:

[GUIDE] Root Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (SM-X200/SM-X205)

Please first of all know that I'm not, in any way, responsible for any bricked device and also know that after you unlock your device's bootloader, your warrenty will be VOID. Please DO NOT EVER PATCH the AP TARBALL using MAGISK. That will...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] captain2k20:
hello and is it possible to re-lock the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Yes. You use the same procedure you used to lock it. But you must first flash stock firmware. You can't relock it while rooted or with custom ROM installed. Relocking it won't restore the warranty bit but Samsung will usually honor it anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
I think this has been said before that there is currently no way to do this because the bootloader is simply not unlockeable. I dont think this will change in the near future.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gochris:
I am trying to do some custom controls, I've done some mobile work lately, but just typically using standard controls and an owner draw list. I want to try to do more "custom" drawn stuff.

In this project I'm trying to somewhat mimic the htc random access that will support multiple "lists" for this new project.

I'm new to the graphics (2d) stuff and need a bit of help. In this sample project I want to be able to draw the letter in the center of the screen, I will have a box behind it (gradient eventually I hope) so I need to be able to draw to the screen since its outside of the controls bounds. Thats no problem, but how do I clear what I've drawn?

here is a link to my code, if someone could please take a look.

where you should look is in the RandomAccess class, in DrawStringbox

thanks a million!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gochris:
been trying to find some examples on the web, found one in full .net that sorta does what I want but of course I don't have access to all the PMEs in compact framework.

again, any help would be apprecidated on how I can draw to a "layer" on top of my form and have the form paint properly once I want to get rid of that layer and not have any left over graphics on top of any controls.

Hi,

im sorry to post yet another unlock problem, there are enough post already, but after some hours of probing around i was not able to unlock my phone :(

the process goes as this:

percents go up to 99, veryfying device gets a green checkmark, unlocking gets a red x.

usb debugging is enabled

phone shows the fastboot screen with the white teddy bear and the ugly green hat with red star

which driver do you use and where to find it in the device manager?

the current version for the unlock too is miflash_unlock-en-6.5.224.28 and it contains driver_install_64.exe (261.176 Bytes) but when double clicking that or running it as administrator nothing happens.

thank you for your time

I've read that handset heating was never a good thing, but I wasn't convinced that my sim card (the real one, not virtual) could be damaged?

It happened yesterday, so I hurried over to my local T-Mobile store and picked-up a new sim card for "Sim Slot #1", & heard some words that most of us had forgotten about since the covid-19 pandemic, "No Charge" (thanks again, T-Mobile, Heritage Oaks Plaza Lecanto FL).

You guys rock!.👍😎👍

All is well again, my 5G is back and I decided to flunk myself outta beta school again! I'm relieved to be "current" now (back-to-basics whatev) & running the latest public bld. of A12 & doing so flawlessly! I received an OTA yesterday & a friend mentioned to me that this 300 mb+ update is the latest of Google's "feature - tweaker" + May Security Patch & possibly could turn out to be our long awaited & anticipated arrival of the Android 12 - Stable. This would be (early) good news, indeed. 🤣

I keep 5G turned off because 4G is fast enough, and I'd prefer the longer battery. Plus, we don't have 5G mm here, so it's really 4G+ which isn't much faster. I don't game or stream. Text, calls, web...4G LTE is fast enough.

I also moved back to public release :) "stable" a12 on p6pro is almost beta imo. It might be because of root I guess.

Hi all

I've just bought a tesla style hedunit for my jeep grand cherokee.

It was working like a charm until I made a factory reset.

I've lost all the settings I had and Also I didn't find jeep grand cherokee among the car list I had just cherokee M and cherokee H but no other jeep model.

So I've chosen cherokee but I have a lot of issues as it's not the right model (air conditioner always on, sound so low, front and back radar doesn't work....)

in this pics you can figure that i don't have grand cherokee among car list and that the AC is always on and also the device info.

Could you please help me out with this?
[Android Head-Units] ezrider750:
Hi Friends,

Why is there so little information about these android head units, for instance where to get the latest firmware?

I fitted one to my car and it has plenty of features but is painfully slow (2GB ram?).

It is not currently possible to use the built in GPS for navigation because the recommended app (Here WeGo) is not compatible with Android 10 - if that is what it is?

DAB signal is poor as well, its grounded to bodywork.

So while it looks good etc, the user experience is quite disappointing, overall i cannot recommend installing on of these and should have stuck with my USB DAB adapter etc!

It was cheap however, maybe i needed to spend more on a better specced one...
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You just did not search in XDA in front. There are a lot of discussion around Android radios. To buy a PX3 was aat least not the best solution.

DAB... well... depends mostly on the antenna and not on the unit. On top, you should use the DAB-z app which is supported in this forum too. By the way: You need to have an external USB DAB+ dongle to use DAB-z
[Android Head-Units] lowridincrew,:
You have to do research. It's almost like buying a laptop.

Not sure what device you're talking about, but try to look for an "unbrick tool" or an "unbrick guide"

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There is no such thing as a "hard bricked" device that can still boot into TWRP. A hard bricked device is completely dead and shows no kind of activity or function. It won't charge, it won't boot into any kind of mode and can't make a connection to PC, makes no sound when connecting to PC and it won't appear in device manager when connected to PC.

A device that can boot into download mode but not its other modes is just a softbricked device.
