I've tried a bunch of combinations of ROMs and Gapps, and even tried to go back to stock, but nothing is working.

At one point at had lineageOS working without gapps, but I've yet to replicate that.

I just tried lineageOS (no gapps), and after it sets the time, it says just a sec and sits there spinning for the last hour with Google Play services keeps stopping messages keeping on popping up.

LineageOS bundled together for a flash ends up in a boot loop.

Trying to revert to stock with the 3 zip files and Odin fails.

I really am just trying to get this thing working so I can sell it. I shoulda left it stock. Am I the only one with these issues?

I just realized I put this msg in the wrong group, but I don't seem to be able to move it. Can a mod to this for me? Thanks!

My T825 went to stock mulitple times using Odin 3.13 and 4 part stock ROM.

If you didn't flash Gapps how come that Playstore tries to work?

Mine has been on Havoc 4.16 (A11) and LOS19.1 (both by Awesometic) and is right now on debloated stock by rorymc

So yours is a T820?
Which stock file did you try and where from?
They shouldn't be zip but tar.md5 files.
Odin can't flash zip.

I don't remember where I got it. I only remember there being a bunch of flavors for different countries. The following is the file list:

Sorry, I didn't answer all your questions. I don't have an answer to this one. Pretty sure I didn't have gapps installed yet, but I will retry.

Yes.
Which stock file did you try and where from?
Again, I didn't save the link, but I found it somewhere. Could be a bad copy or rip off.
They shouldn't be zip but tar.md5 files.
Odin can't flash zip.
Correct, they are tar.md5 files.

I just tried LineageOS 19.1 and it goes into a boot loop after install. The circle moves over the parenthesis for a couple mins then reboots with Samsung logo then back to moving circle. I wiped everything first .

I don't seem to be able to get Odin to do anything either. Did I brick this thing? I have a newer Samsung tablet I was thinking of rooting, but may just leave it be,,,

What does Odin say?
More info needed.
Tried different stock source?
  • Open 3.14 on PC, hit Reset to clear out previous attempts.
  • Boot tablet into TWRP.
  • Select Reboot -> Download.
  • Hear PC chirp sound like plays when you connect new HW.
  • Newly downloaded FW downloaded, zip in a folder.
  • Unzip to yield 4 tar.md5’s
  • In Odin, hit BL button and added BL_T820XXU3CTD5_CL17010817_QB30464690_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Odin reports back:
<ID:0/010> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

  • Repeat for AP and CSC button. Note there’s a HOME_CSC_XSA_T820XSA3CTD1_CL17818371_QB30402961_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 that I don’t use ( I use the HOME_CSC_XSA_T820XSA3CTD1_CL17818371_QB30402961_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 on for the CSC button).
  • Hit Start button in Odin
  • This time it took a while to process (it was quick to error out before). Not sure what I did different, but it appears to have worked this time.
  • Thank you for all your help!
 
.....Newly downloaded FW downloaded, zip in a folder.......
  • .....Not sure what I did different, but it appears to have worked this time......
You probably had bad files on the first try.
Glad it did work this time.
For latest stock download I always use and recommend samfirm_reborn_03.6.3 as it downloads directly quite fast from samsungs servers.
