[Introductions] Stratoast:
Heyyoo, I'm Stratoast.

I've always loved coming to XDA forums to read and learn how to do cool things with my devices. I've never created an account after all this time even though there were many times when I struggled to understand the instructions on posts, going down what seems like an endless rabbit hole of posts searching for an answer.

However, today I think I am truly stumped and there is a certain urgency in the help I need hence I have created an account to begin seeking assistance.

Apart from this, I hope that I can start contributing after all this time of consuming useful knowledge that has been shared by the wonderful people here.

I have a Samsung galaxy s23 ultra. My searches on my Google playstore have been deleting on their own. Does anyone know why this is happening? They seem to delete every day and I'm not deleting them and no one else has access to my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I recommend reaching out to Google Play Store support directly. They have specialized knowledge and tools to assist you further. They can be contacted through the Google Play Help Center or by using the "Help & Feedback" option within the Play Store app.

Hello, Does anyone knows how to install ancient OS on the google pixel 7 pro? Please help am stuck at Bootloop. Thankyou
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 5.1:
Hi,

Did you follow their website prerequisites?

Like being on may Google firmware, using v33.0.3 platform tools and clean flash?

See their site and/or join their telegram channel. Best place to ask for support I guess 👍

Good luck,

Sébastien.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Indutarize:
Yes I did everything what they said but the same issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Indutarize:
after I follow their prerequisites, it flashes the img file but it never finishes the cmd window shows waiting for any device, and my phone stucks at google logo.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hungragezone:
Don't know why people keep posting question about Rom which didn't have thread on xda (no official support)

If you want support that go to their website, telegram etc...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
it sounds like a platform tools issue (it never reconnecting "waiting for device" after flashing and rebooting)....are you sure you are using platform tools r33.0.3 (not some minimal adb or android studio version)?

but it is as hungragezone says, you really should go straight to the source for troubleshooting -- if there was a thread here that existed, that's a whole other consideration...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
So I tried to root my device using magisk 26.1, I patched the correct AP file and used it in Odin to flash it. Only to end up this time with the device unable to boot, power up and I cannot enter recovery mode while connected to the PC via USB. The device won't even charge, and I tried holding both volume buttons down, power button + volume up or down and I really don't know what to do....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
How much battery did it had left before it died? if it was around full, leave it alone for around 7 days (no plugging and checking the device every time as we want its battery to dry out). After around 7 days the battery should dry out and then after that plug the tab into your computer while pressing the volume up + volume down buttons and it should boot into DL mode and from there just flash the stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
If the tablet is constantly rebooting, you don't have to wait till the battery dies. The timing is tricky, and you may have to try several times but try this. Connect the USB cable to a PC and only partially into the tablet. Hold down both the vol up and down buttons and wait for the screen to blank out. As soon as it does, plug the USB cable the rest of the way in. Keep holding the vol buttons until the teal screen appears. Then release both buttons and short press the vol up to get to download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
I believe it had around 50 percent, thank you I will try it out. Hoping it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Thanks, I will try that out once my tablet is working again, right now it's just not responding at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
I think their Tab is completely switched off and powerd down and is unable to boot? In that case when it's doing nothing you will have to wait out for the battery to dry.

The same case has happened to be and I had to wait around 6 days and after that I got my tab back up and running.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Well, that's a new one on me. A bootloop is typical and I've seen cases where the tablet would freeze. But when a freeze occured, holding vol down and power for about seven seconds would restart it. I quess if the freeze occurs while the screen is blank, it may be hard to detect the restart. But in low light, you should be able to detect the difference between blank and off because even when blank the back light shows through.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Ugh im getting really impatient, day 2 has passed i tried to check each day by plugging to pc and see if threes any glimmer of hope. I also read on a forum post that they charged it for 4hrs and it booted charged up at 30%.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-unbrick-your-galaxy-tab.1133590/

Check to see if the device is actually "Hard" bricked by leaving it plugged into charge for atleast 4 hours via a mains supply (NOT USB).

If above doesn't work you will need to send your Tab To Samsung To Fix it For you or visit this link.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
i've went through the exact same steps you are currently going through. i also got my tab bricked before by doing the weird stuff and it was completely powered down and not powering on nor getting detected by odin or going into download mode. i also tried putting in on charge for around a day but that did nothing other than making the proccess of getting it back up longer. You should imo first try at least waiting 5 days without impateiently plugging and checking it every day cuz even a little bit of power can make the tab's battery not completely dry out. But it is obviously up to you and its your tab, you can do whatever you like with it.

Btw you can see this post. in this post most of the people got their tab bricked by trying to root and then they got their tab back up and running after its battery dried out in like 5 days or so.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Alright thanks for the response, I will wait it out and see what happens. Also I think I missed out on some details.

So after patching the downloaded AP file with Magisk v 26.1, I transferred it to my PC and installed 7zip. With the 7 zip I renamed the patched AP file as boot.tar and made the PC be able to open the file with 7zip. So I flashed it, boot.tar into AP, and CSC and BL into its respective slots. I went away from the pc for few minutes for it was taking quite a few minutes to finish installing. I came back and it says on the odin that the program passed, and my tablet was just not responsive.

View attachment 5955351

These three are the files that I entered into VIA Odin.

P.S. also thank you for showing me that post, now I am even more convinced haha that I am not the only one with this issue and they also managed to fix it. :) Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You should have put the patched file in the AP without changing it with 7-zip. There are two ways to root stock with Magisk. One is to extact the boot.img from the AP and modify it with Magisk. In that case you have to rename the modified file to boot.img and tar it with 7-zip. The other method, which is used for THIS tablet, is the modify the AP md5 file with Magisk. Then you flash the modified file in AP with the stock BL and CSC in their slots. No renaming or 7-zipping it. The way you did it, Odin flashed the entire AP into the boot partition and not just the boot.img.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Another method which works but is lengthy is this:-

Grab/Extract only the boot.img from the the AP tar file. And copy it over to your device

install Magisk Apk on the Tab and then open it up and Select install option and click next and then Select "Select and patch a file". Select your boot.img on that and then just hit install and it will create a new boot file named magisk-patched-sometingsomething.img in your download's folder.

Copy that file over to your computer.

Flash TWRP from Odin (with autoreboot unchecked) after that press both the volume down + power button to shut the device down and then immediately press the voulme up + power button as soon as the screen goes blank to boot into TWRP.

Now Once booted into twrp go to the reboots tab and select reboot to fastboot.

Once rebooted into fastboot, on your computer do:-

fastboot flash boot magisk-patched-etc-etc-etc.img

(change the image name with yours exactly)

And then on the reboots tab select Reboot to System and you should have a rooted device.

Sweet, thanks guys can't wait to try it!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
This happened to me as well, just know the battery capacity is very large and it may take up to a week before it completely drains. Just don't plug it in or try to work with it or you'll keep on delaying the draining process
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
update: So luckily today within 4 days, I was able to start in download mode when i just plugged it in now. I installed the factory firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
So that was what I used first prior to this other method i used. I patched the AP file from Magisk and then transferred that to the PC and used it via Odin, and yet that got me stuck in boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
"

Once rebooted into fastboot, on your computer do:-

fastboot flash boot magisk-patched-etc-etc-etc.img

(change the image name with yours exactly)" Um what is this exactly? this is not Odin but command prompt on pc?

Also. change the image name to what? boot.img?

View attachment 5956469

I have both the boot.img that was patched via magisk ready and twrp file, but the odin cannot find either one of those files when I try to look for them in AP.

View attachment 5956471
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Download platform tools on your PC and then use fastboot in cmd to flash the boot.img patched with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Sorry I'm not too familiar what you mean by platform tools :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
The easiest thing you can do to root your stock rom is:

Download Magisk.apk from their github and rename it to Magisk.zip and copy it over to a thumb drive or something (Only if you can't access data from twrp).

Boot into twrp and flash that Magisk.zip and reboot to system and you should see a magisk icon appear on the app drawer. Click on that, install magisk and open it up.

it should ask for additional setup click ok, select direct install and click next and after that's done, reboot and you should have your device rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Well, kinda stuck for twrp cannot be found to be inserted into AP in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Download the tar.md5 file of twrp ported by Magendanz.

Open odin, uncheck auto reboot and then flash the tar.md5 file in odin.

I was able to get this resolved, by letting the device drain the battery for 4 days, some may take as 7 or more. I was able to enter download mode once battery was dead.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Manuelg3009:
Si el dispositivo enciende a pesar de que la pantalla está encendida, puedes recuperarlo, prueba a flashear el stock con odin, presiona el botón de volumen + y luego conecta el cable, seguramente se activó vbmeta y eso provoca la falla, si puedes dar más información, te puedo ayudar más.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
1. I downloaded my Firmware from here https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-X200/KOO

2. Then I Extracted AP File, took out boot.img and sent boot.img to tablet to patch with Magisk version 25.2.

(I also have tried to patch the whole AP file before, and sent to ODIN to flash.)

3. I transferred the patched boot.img file to the PC

4. I downloaded TWRP from here ( https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-7-0-for-2021-galaxy-tab-a8-10-5-sm-x200.4488691/) I flashed the TWRP.tar file onto my device and it passed.

5. I restarted the device and went into fastboot mode pressing power + volume up button.

6.

SamDaaEpic suggested using platform tools from here, so I downloaded Powershell, but I am unable to install the patched boot.img file using this command, :-fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-25200_0W2of , btw the boot is an img file. Do you know what I need to do to install the boot.img?​
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
It seems like you are not very familiar with command line.

Here are the steps to use platform tools correctly:-

Download and extract platform tools in a folder and open file explorer in the folder you've extracted platform tools click in. Right click and select open in cmd. That should open the cmd in the folder you've extracted the platform tools and from there do the fasboot commands.

A quick YouTube or Google Search about using platform tools and help also..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
View attachment 5957351

what is going on...I found the tools/drivers installed it, extracted it and hit cmd in the tool file. I even left the patched file inside the same folder as the platform tools... hmm

View attachment 5957353
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
You have to put .img in front of patched file on the fasboot command also

Nice it worked
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
So after flashing the patched.img with the cmd. I tried to reboot the device by clicking reboots tab and selected system. It just keeps booting back to twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Did you try clearing the cache and dalvik cache? And make sure you used only the Stock Boot img to patch with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Yea I already used the patched boot.img which I retrieved from the AP stock file.

"clearing the cache and dalvik cache? " what do you mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Try clearing Cache and dalvik cache from the twrp wipe menu. If that doesn't work out I'm not sure if I can help you any further because I'm no professional and I only knew these steps and they did work for me. You could try flashing Magisk.zip from twrp install menu and see if that works out for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Rip
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] SamDaaEpic:
Try this guide

And make sure to copy the Magisk.zip to a thumb drive and in the install section of twrp click on select storage and select the USB OTG and flash the Magisk.zip

Make sure to attempt that after flashing the Stock Boot img first
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
I mean I already have succesffully loaded the boot.img View attachment 5957513

I downloaded the github magisk.zip and magisk.apk which I tried renaming and also converting to zip from apk. But all of these files failed to install.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
You don't need to rename them. Boot the tablet to system and install the apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
System? I do that it just goes back to twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Installing Magisk won't help that situation. Have you tried /Adfance/Terminal and exit_twrp when in TWRP? If that doesn't work, then your only option is to start over by flashing stock ROM. What is you "end game"? Are you just trying to root the stock ROM or do intend to flash a GSI?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Rip inaccessible or not found, I'm not too familiar with those two you mentioned but, my end goal is to root it so that I can play modded apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
What is rip?? Read the post I just added.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
RIP = Rest in Peace, I told you already I am not familiar with what is GSI or stock rom, but If I had to guess to root the stock rom? I am trying to root my device so I can play modded game apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
If you don't know what GSI even means, then you are trying to root the stock ROM from Samsung. Do you know how download the latest version and install it with Odin? BTW, you didn't say you weren't familiar with stock and GSI. You said you weren't familiar with "those two". Which meant nothing to me. It never occurred to me you meant the two ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Uh if you mean by getting the stock rom file from https://samfw.com/ and flash via Odin, yes. You want me to start fresh again?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Yes. That is the only way to make sure everything will work.

well im Back to factory reset now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
I will give it another shot, by trying to re-patch the whole AP stock file via magisk and remove vbmeta.img.... I also saw vbmeta.system.img do I delete that as well?

View attachment 5957993
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
No. Just the vbmeta.img
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Yup.. I don't think this is rootable haha.. It just failed again.

Repatched AP file with Magisk 26.1, transferred patched file to PC, removed vbmeta.img, and retarred it with 7zip.

Loaded the patched file to AP, the other BL and CSC too, and it fails while flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
Maybe Magisk fixed the vbmeta.img. Try flashing without removing it. If you copied it from the tablet, it should still be there to copy again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
So vbmeta.img was removed, what I did was... from the tarred patched AP file ( with the vbmeta removed), I just took the folder out and it allowed me to successfully flash.

View attachment 5958031

the magisk_patched-26100_dDlxQ2 had the magisk_patched-26100_dDlxQ inside the retarred file. So that was flashed properly, now It took me to resetup
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
I'm not clear on just what you did. I see in your pic that there are two versions of modifed file with the one 2k larger highlighted. Tell us step by step what you did first the didn't work and then what did so other people will know what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
1. magisk_patched-26100_dDlxQ.tar is the file I obtained by using Magisk to patch the AP file.

2. I took the patched magisk_patched-26100_dDlxQ -> to PC and removed vbmeta.img from the folder

3. I used 7Zip to .tar the file again

4. The new file after .tar was magisk_patched-26100_dDlxQ2

5. Within that magisk_patched-26100_dDlxQ2 folder there was another folder magisk_patched-26100_dDlxQ (same file name but this is with the vbmeta.img removed)

6. Apparently using that file to flash with Odin worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Used root checker, seems its not rooted properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
That's because you need to run Magisk again to finish the root process. This time choose Direct instead of file to mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
Thanks I can officially say that my tablet is now rooted!! Thank you for all your help. It was a journey haha..

Question, you disable vbmeta
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
I deleted vbmeta.img
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digeltD:
The first time I tried I didn't delete the vbmeta.img, I flashed the whole patched AP, and second time I tried, I deleted the vbmeta.img and .tar with 7zip. After that I tried to flash with the file it failed. But the solution to this was taking the file out of .tar 📁 folder and using that to flash with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
If I've got this right, the first time you tried to remove the vbmeta.img, you didn't succeed but the second time you did. So basically the steps I listed should work. That's what I needed to know. I don't have to modify them. Thanks
