There is an unofficial 10" SM-T500 here https://www.mediafire.com/file/khmq9jajz16gidq/SM-T500-TWRP_3.5.2.tar/file Perhaps this can be modified for the smaller 8.7" SM-T220 model ? I do not have the skills, if you have any luck please post a reply here, thanks.

if you have a spare tab a7 lite try flashing it and tell me what happens ie what is the error

sorry I only have the one I am using and after many hrs setting up/rooting etc. Im reluctant to try in case it breaks something and I have to start again or get a new device ...

Thanks for being a guinea pig for us. You saved someone a lot of time.
Go ahead and flash the default image to reset it.

Do you mean the Bootloader warning at boot? If so I think this is what you need.
Also I can try some ported twrp images for A7 lite

Correct. It's better than looking at all the warning screens. It still boots just fine, not any faster. I put the same guide (to remove the bootloader warning) in my thread, with some additional instructions.

I've compiled twrp for the T227, and it's booting fine, anyone here have any idea how to create a device tree for that device?

hey can you link that twrp file because the other tab A7 lite tablets use basicly the same stuff so i want to try it on my t220 also i found a tutorial to make a devive tree https://www.alexenferman.com/articles/TWRP/how-to-create-a-twrp-device-tree

I can use this (sorry if I'm not supposed to link stuff in this forum I take no credit for this thank you whoever made it) https://github.com/twrpdtgen/twrpdtgen it generates a device tree for you, you just have to edit it.

Anyone interested to buy my fully rooted A7 Lite? I'm just not using it so there's no reason to hold onto it. Still in like new condition with box and charger and accessories but fully rooted.

Rooting itself is incredibly easy, just use the Magisk patched AP method after you unlock the bootloader.

As for custom recoveries. I've been working on it for a bit trying to port a working build, but as of this moment the only thing I have is a successful Odin flash with no actual TWRP boot (It just hangs at the "phone is not running Samsung official firmware" indefinitely, not an actual loop). Of course even with the broken recovery flashed, I can still boot to system, so I dunno.
But if anyone wants to give a fresh set of eyes and see if I've missed anything, I've attached a zip of the odin-ready recovery.img and the decompiled twrp build. Just let me know.

TLDR: For anyone just glancing over this, this IS NOT a working TWRP port

i built one with samsung auto recovery porter 1.1 by hovatek and it stucks at boot on your same situation, i wonder if samsung blocked custom recovery

patch stock firmware with magisk and flash it through odin, all warnings disappeared for me, also root guide can be updated because there is no need to mess with termux
