[Walmart Onn Tablets General] TheModifier310:
yeah so unless your tablet turns on and you have developer options turned onn, adb debugging turned on and oem unlock turned on, you cant use fastboot commands to do any kind of flashing to the tablet if its bricked and unresponsive. you have to use sp flash tool. thats how i flashed my tablet. you can unbrick tablets and phones that are hard bricked with sp flash tool but you have to use the preloader and the scatter file to flash. that android host download link i sent you has a partial os that was not complete but it has the the scatter and preloader i been using because i couldnt find a scatter anywhere for the MT 8168. i would just download that scatter file and preloader and use sp flashtool to flash just the BOOT ONLY image to your tablet from that ota package and see if it turns on. dont select the format all + download option because if you have everything in those boxes for the other images and format all + download selected it will completly wipe the system and stick that bios firmware on it and youll be in the same mess im in. and on the format option just leave it alone and dont do a format all flash because itll wipe your boot loader. i think from what you said i think you only need to flash just the .boot image so just select download on sp flash tool and dont use firmware upgrade option either
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Chickenkillla81:
Sorry I had to take a nap. Haha. I was sleepy. I will give sp a shot. I have church in a bit so it probably won't be tonight. But I'll see if I can figure out that program. I've heard it is pretty handy if you know how to use it.
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] TheModifier310:
its real easy to use. i didnt mess with the brom ports because you have to have the media tek preloader working for the com port. i just used the usb mediateck driver and selected auto detect with battery for usb port with usb disconected then click download connect usb and push and hold vol up down and power on the tablet. then it should start the flash in sp flash tool. its not hard to use once you get the hang of it
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] TheModifier310:
i hope you get your tablet fixed, i gave up on mine because i cant find the right software.

and thats cool. i need to start going to church again. i think i will after spring comes and we get out of flu season
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] Chickenkillla81:
I know. I don't home much hope. My parents are coming tomorrow for the weekend so probably won't get a chance to download and try sp. But I will post on here if I have any luck

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] ICMonster99:
Hi,

So I'm looking to install Lineage OS onto a galaxy tab s6 lite wifi (SM-P610) as per the wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gta4xlwifi/. Model number matches that on the wiki perfectly, SM-P610. My tablet was bought from the samsung website here in the uk around 2 and a bit years ago and has been kept up to date with it's current version being android 13, and ONEUI 5.1.1.

One of the very first steps is to enable usb debugging and enable OEM unlock. This latter feature is not available in my developer settings, it is simply not there. Looking online I have found a couple methods being to change the date +time back and restarting the device, and that wifi has something to do with it, I have tried a number of these methods to no avail, also that waiting a week or so can unlock the setting however given I have owned this device for over 2 years I find it hard to believe this will resolve my issue. I have also found that there may be a way to use adb to unlock the bootloader though am not sure whether this is comparable to using the "OEM unlock" setting and as such am hesitant to do so.

I have compared all the numbers etc related to the device vs the specs page on the lineage website and it all matches. I have tried a factory reset to see if this would work and has made no difference.

Booting into samsung download mode (whilst plugged in, holding power up + down + power) gives me the following potentially important info:

KG STATE: Normal (00)

FRP LOCK: ON

OEM Lock: ON (L)

Reading up on kg state suggests this is the wait period of a week or so that other users have suggested to cause the issue, it being set to normal suggests to me that wait period is not applicable. I am am not sure what the "ON(L)" means, whether that indicates that I cannot unlock or not I am not sure. I don't fully understand what frp lock is (or how it could relate) but I included it anyway.

Finally I have contacted samsung in case they may know something I don't and other than a generic reply I am waiting for a response.

Any help or pointers where to look etc would be greatly appreciated in getting this setting to show up, and I'd be happy to add any extra info.

Cheers!

Update new Apatch v0.8.4

Hey, it's me Ravindu :)

I wanted to update my KernelPatch version to the latest one, so I backed up the current "patched" boot image using termux and then patched it again with APatch's latest KPtools.

After installing the patched image, my system wouldn't start, and the phone got stuck at the Samsung logo (not bootlooping).

Now, how did I fix this

..?

Luckily, I had the "unpatched" version of my boot.img as a backup.

I unpacked the boot.img, extracted its kernel, went back to Linux, and patched it using "kptools-linux" and "kpimg-android" 🙊.

After repacking and installing the patched boot.img using my Linux machine, the phone booted without any issues.

I suspect this happened due to conflicts in the previous codes.

Thank you!

@APatchChannel
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Guides, News, & Di] tom.android:
Currently, it is not possible to use APatch on a Samsung device unless you disable Samsung securities by yourself.

This can be fixed by compiling the kernel from the source.

Due to Samsung's DEFEX and RKP securities, the kernel prevents obtaining root access, even in Magisk.

In Magisk, there's a hex patch script that disables those securities by patching the kernel directly.

So, there's no need to compile the kernel :)
