MM officially available for T815 in Germany

[Fetito]

Is there an ETA of when the update is available in Argentina?

I've requested source from Samsung. T815XXU2BPD6

My evil plan is, If one of you could upload a system.img in TWRP I could work on that. Then when source posts, I can build kernels for all variants.
I think I can build kernels for all of us using an LTE source. It SHOULD contain everything we need for the WIFI variants. And we would all be on MM 6.0.1. Instead of our current 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

If nothing else, at least I'm giving it a try to bring the ROM and kernels for all the S2's. Let's hope.

Edit: Interesting thing is.... Source is the same for the 710/810. They posted both together now. Hmmm...

Hi

I've gotten both already. But Thanks

The kernel is setup on git. But I still need to make sure I can clone it. Samsung makes mistakes I need to fix, usually. Then I'll get working on it.

As for the Rom, I'm still looking for someone with MM to upload the system.img.
I haven't spent a lot of time yet. But I still can't get it to flash using the .tar. But I am working on it.

Again, my time lately has been limited. I get an hour here, an hour there. But that's not much time when working with Android. Just the build takes about 10-15 minutes.
And, I'm setting up a new distro. So I keep finding things I need to add to it to build.

I was able to extract the entire system folder from the T815 MM ROM if that is any help.

If your /system/bin folder looks like the one on the left, it won't work.
If it looks like the one on the right, then it should work. If you want to upload it , that's great. If not, I'll find what you said you used to extract it, and do it myself. So it's all good.

I'd prefer having the system.img from TWRP. Then I know everything is right. ie symlinks, permissions. Then any mistakes I make are mine and not the Rom. And I can work on my goofs.

Edit: "Link to Unknown" being the issue

Thats amazing news
Cant wait for the permissive kernel
Sorry my internet is not so good, it would take weeks to upload system.img ... but will try my best.

PS: in TWRP I take a back up of my system and now I have system.ext4.win000 and system.ext4.win001 in backup folder 1.5Gb each
Are these the files you want ?
will try to upload em

 

[papampi]

Just checked system.ext4.win000 and system.ext4.win001 and files inside system/bin has symlink not the actual files
So make an image system backup with TWRP and it create a system_image.emmc.win
But cant open it when change it to system_image.emmc.win.tar or system_image.emmc.win.img
so I can check inside the archive

I can use that. But, TWRP has an option now to make a system.img. Just scroll further down in "Backup".

Edit. If I remember right, it'll be about 1.9 Gigs when zipped/tar.

I'm trying to make the system image backup from twrp (the lower option), its 3 Gb and it wont open....

Edit:
So ...
I managed to get system.img backup on external usb otg and opened it, but it has no system folder ???

If your making it in TWRP, you don't need to open it. It'll be fine. TWRP makes all the links/permissions from the tab.
Then just zip it up and it'll be about 1.9 gigs. If I remember right.

I'm trying to get the .tar to extract right, right now. We'll see if I can save you the trouble.

Problem was mentioned here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59745198&postcount=3

The "System" option is the standard tar backup. The "System Image" option is only relevant if your system is unmodified. This allows you to make a fully stock backup that can be restored later to take an OTA.
NOTE: If you are using a FAT32-formatted card, a "System Image" backup will fail, due to the 4GB file limit on that format. For a successful System Image backup, NTFS or exFAT-formatted storage must be used (either SD card or USB-OTG)

weird, file is 3.1 Gb and it cant be opened from sd card
So I will take a nandroid backup, reset factory and make a system.img backup so it be smaller then will try to upload it

Just ignore all that. And you don't need to factory reset. (Hopefully I caught you in time.)
Just backup system img in TWRP and I can go from there. I've used it already so I know it'll work.
The size won't change no matter how many apps you install. It only backs up system. So the only way it would/could change is if you're writing to system. No personal data will get put there either.

lol ...
Too late, factory reset and backed up ... (same size)
But compressed it to 1.1 Gb and uploading,
My internet is not so good so it will take some time.
Will send you link as soon as it finish

Just saw your pic from earlier post. You've installed xposed. That could make things interesting. Hopefully the factory reset cleared it out.

Is there anything I can do to help? I have the T-Mobile variant and a great internet connection

But do you have MM? That's what I'm looking for.
So if you do have MM, then just read what's on the last couple pages here and upload it for me. If not, its all good. I'm just trying to beat Samsung to the punch to get MM out for all of us.

It may work, and it may not. But it's worth a shot.
And Thanks for the offer

Here is the link to system image

If xposed cause problem, let me know I will reset from twrp and backup again

Edit: files removed because of problems.

Flashing SuperSu in TWRP when Data is encrypted

SM-T815 is running MM6.01 and is encrypted
I flashed TWRP 3.0.0.1 via Odin which needed several attempts since rebooting into fresh installed TWRP is difficult.
Without rebooting into recovery after having flashed TWRP via Odin, the stock Samsung recovery will be re-written to the device automatically.
Now no SuperSu can be flashed (can't mount /data)
Full (Advanced) Wipe does not work since /data is not being able to be chosen.
Obviously encryption does influence flashing and prevents the root process.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Maybe flashing Stock Rom from scratch via Odin?
