Twrp link is updated.....

Edit.. just downloaded it

was this tablet ever shipped with an unlocked bootloader or did we have to unlock it ourselves? I am asking because I don't think my friend unlocked the bootloader when he tried this thread cuz it caused a soft brick.

Try pulling battery for 30 seconds... "its possible" I've done it. Also, there used to be a trick with the galaxy note 4, to get the emmc to read/write better/faster. I dont recall exactly how to do it, maybe that's the case.

Personally, my tab's screen has went blank on me twice(similar to your friends, because It would only show something on screen while plugged in) pulling the battery fixed my issue. Could have bad connection @ emmc module . It's worth a shot.

Also, I pm'd aryln about twrp link.... I'll let you know when/if I hear back

Are you only flashing ap?

Ok, reading back thru latest posts , now I'm confused! You said you flashed stock recovery & also twrp.....
1st off, there isnt another twrp for this model other than arylns.
2nd...what do u mean by flashed stock recovery?
3rd what odin version are you using?

I tried using stock recovery tar from this thread and another from a different variant. No dice. I replied to the last post u posted...about bootloader...can I have some insight. Thanks

If anyone is still active or cares, I have created a root Boot.tar file using Magisk that can be flashed on the latest build. I couldn't find one anywhere else so I just made my own, and figured I would share.

does this work 8.1.0?

 

[lickarock]

It's been a few months since I made that, and I'm not near my tablet, but I think so. It's for whatever the final update for this tablet was, it shouldn't be getting any new updates.

I just tried flashing the old twrp to a tablet with the latest firmware trying to get root access, and it is stuck in a rebooting cycle as mentioned by someone earlier in this thread. The tablet keeps restarting and only shows "Set Warranty Bit : recovery" before rebooting again. there is a brief moment right before it reboots where I can see the color scheme from twrp. But I am not able to enter recovery mode.

I have tried the suggestions power + volume down + home to enter download mode but the cycle continues...
I am now curious about the new boot.tar you posted. I am not very well versed in the modding community so the use of it is not too obvious to me.

Do you flash the boot.tar onto the device using odin? or is it intended to be installed through twrp (which I have not been able to get working)


Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

[KR34T1V]

I forgot to uncheck the auto reboot and now im stuck on "set warranty bit recovery " - Does anyone know how to get to the downloader mode without the power + vol down + home button? (or another ways to fix the recovery loop)

I managed to achieve the same thing, and now no matter the combinations I use I am stuck with my device rebooting over and over, unable to get into download mode.

Next up is to leave it until the vibration motors drain the battery and try again over usb...

i have to say, its really interesting that so many people <s> have such an interest in obtaining and rooting a 6 year old nougat tablet in 2022</s> are flashing roots and recoveries for something that is clearly not the same device just because it says Tab A.

Got it second hand, 2016 sprint model SM-587P. Pretty sure this is the same model no?

This seemed to do the trick, I let the battery run off over night and was able to get back into download mode when powering it back on.

Lol, I just picked one of these up and had the same thing happen, but just reflashed the original ROM and it worked:

All Samsung firmwares for Galaxy Tab A 2016 in Spint (cdma) with model code SM-T587P. We offer free and fast download options. Check them out now.

Went through the process again, Flashed TWRP with Odin, Flashed that custom bootloader referenced in post 1 (from twrp? can't remember), formatted the data partition (like mentioned in post 1). Haven't gotten root yet, that one phh superuser apk was causing me to start from the beginning...

 

[corollagtssrx]

I'm still looking for a custom rom for this thing to make it faster. I may end up creating an up-to-date TWRP and maybe LineageOS image, but I've never done that before so....bricked device, HERE I COME!

(anyone who want's to point me in the right direction, help would be much appreciated)

I have been having good luck with holding Power, Vol -, and Home, then the second it reboots, switching over to Power, Vol +, and Home, then I can get into Download mode.

The TWRP listed here is the ONLY one I have gotten to work. I might be stupid, but I couldn't find the SPR version on the TWRP website anywhere and nothing else that I have tried has worked.

Mmm that is very interesting I also tried switching from vol - to vol + as you described but it did not seem to respond to that.

I also did not manage to find this TWRP version anywhere else. My device has received the latest update to 8.1.0 and when I tried loading the TWRP from the 1st post it started looping and rebooting all the time, I may give it another go seeing as you have had some success.

I just want root to remove all this bloat

Yeah, just make sure you install that other boot loader and reformat that data partition (will erase your data). Then it worked for me! I am running the v7 though, not v8...not sure if that will change anything....

watch the youtube video for 'battery replacement' so you can see how to get the back cover off. get the cover off, pull the tape off the battery cable and lift the flap gently then unplug the battery. when you plug it back in you can start it in download mode and flash the factory build.
