[RECOVERY][ROOT]TWRP 3.2.1-1 Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820/T825

[namitutonka]

Hmm. Installed Magisk 25.2 preserving DM verity. After reboot SU automatically prompted to grant SU rights to BusyBox Pro. Root checker now verifies that root access is properly installed on my SM-T820.

Thanks goes out to ashhyx.

The T825 version works well on mine

Thank you @bmwdroid. It sideloaded to a SM-T820 WIFI running stock Android 9 Pie. I tried "Reboot to bootloader", and "Apply update from ADB". Both worked well. This recovery is sufficient and better than stock recovery. But it doesn't seem like a recovery from Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) like I'm accustomed to, and which I prefer. With this recovery, there's not the usual TWRP menus.

Imho you somehow managed to return to stock recovery.
You could have flashed the new TWRP... img making the old TWRP to flash img and select recovery as aim.

It's my stiff 72 yr. old fingers. I took the cover off the tablet and Odin flashed TWRP 3.6.0_9 again as per OP instructions. It worked this time. I repeatedly was physically unable to "As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME. "

@namitutonka glad it finally worked.
Seems to me you didn't uncheck "Auto reboot" in Odin or am I wrong?

Yep, that too as well as the fingers. Hope you got a chuckle out of it.

Not at all. I'm by far to kind for that

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got ROOT!!!!! You're the best!!! Now to play, and add theme store!!!

Did you flash into the AP slot in Odin, or extract boot.img to flash in TWRP?

Hello,
after flashing TWRP 3.2.1 with Odin I'm stuck in a boot-loop. Initial Post mentions that risk, but doesn't explain how to securely avoid ist. At least I couldn't find/understand any instructions to avoid ist.
The initial post says

This device enforces dm-verity. ANY modifications or even mounting system will put the device into a bootloop. To prevent this TWRP will ask at first boot if you want to keep system 'Read only' or 'Allow modifications to system'. If you choose to keep 'Read only' you will have to flash TWRP at every boot to recovery.
If you choose to 'Allow' then Magisk needs flashing below to disable dm-verity.

I don't quite understand whether I made a mistake there and what was right now, "Read only" or "Allow modifications to systems". I chose the latter anyway. No futher modifications made, i.e. no superSU or magisk or Custom ROM installed.
Tried wipe Cache and factory reset to no avail.

Has anybody any idea how to sort this problem out?
