[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.7.0 for 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 [SM-T510]

[lewmur]

Hello All,

We just received a donation of about 300 Samsung SM-T515 tablets that were used in a national survey last year to use our a different survey. About 70 of these were locked by users with google ID, I have tried Factory Reset but got the message "Your phone was factory reset. Enter your PIN to unlock it." Unfortunately, we are not able to get these PINs, how can I bypass this? I have tried reloading the ROM with ODIN3 but am still getting back to the same screen. I can't unlock OEM as it requires login into the tablet first? Any help from here the great people here?

You can't bypass the FRP lock anymore. Your best bet is to contact Samsung tech support at 1-800-samsung

Flashing of lastest 11.1 is not possible-md5 error.
Flashing of 11 version is not possible. error after vbmeta "rqt_close!!!" and the tab is dead.

Probably just because I changed the name (which invalidates the md5 checksum). I will fix as soon as I'm home from work.

Okay, try now. It just worked for me with Odin v3.14.

Yes download+install from androidfilehost works, link in OP is the old one.

not sure what went wrong for me.. was on LOS 17 with twrp 3.4.0.0. Flashed the img file through TWRP then rebooted to recovery.

Though now bootlooping with the "Tablet Bootloader is unlocked and its software can't be verified - Press power button to continue"

That message was already coming up prior to the flash though that didnt stop LOS and TWRP from working perfectly before this flash..

Cant get to fastboot or any recovery.. (oh oh)..

Assume i need to wait till it runs out of power so i can get to Fastboot.. then ill do Odin OEM and start again..

right now i cant even turn it off..

To get out of bootlooping: Hold Vol+ and Vol- together, then connect USB to a computer and hold both keys until you are back into the download mode. There is a thread on here with a more detailed explanation.

Your problem is most likely due to the fact that the TWRP version you installed does not match the OEM kernel version. (This could be explained better in the OP). Solutions are:

1. Install an old TWRP version which matches your kernel version.
2. Update the kernel source by installing the newest OEM stock version first, then installing newest (and fitting) TWRP and your custom rom afterwards.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you.

Thx for you great work. Latest TWRP was installed on my Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) by Odin. It starts but always in portrait mode instead of landscape mode. Any idea what went wrong?

 

[elswerky]

helllo
it caused falure on my sm-t515 lte version
after flashing twrp
odin said failed
then tab now on download mode with an error has occured while updating the device software
use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software

 

[massivekind]

My first rule 'have the stock files, so if I funked up something I can revert back and start from scratch'

So you need to flash the stock files and start again

I believe you can download the stock file from here.

I got the SM-T515 and it is running on android 11 with firmware T510XXU5CUJ1. The strange thing is that I have also the twrp-3.6.0_11-1. How can be possible? I can't remember haw I did it.... I bought another Tab A SM-T515, same firmware but I'm not more able to install the TWRP again. I'm goin crazy. Can somebody help please?
edit: I must correct myself. I tried again with different cable and I did it. Now is all okay.
Somewere I read that it is not possible to install TWRP on systems running Android 11 but I did it

I thought that at first when I got in this state with my SM-T510 during development, but it's really just a matter of getting the timing down. You need to hold the Power + Vol Down for exactly 7 seconds and then switch to Vol Up + Vol Down as it's restarting. Might take a few tries.

Too late. It's gone. Been looking for an excuse to drop the SM-T515 for a while now and you just gave it to me. A link to the device tree is still posted, though, if you want to give it a go yourself.

Magendanz is correct as it really just a matter of timing. Took three tries here on a SM-T515 that was stuck on the TWRP slash screen. I was able to get into the boot loader mode and flash the factory firmware using Odin. Thank you Magendanz.

Meh its so frustrating. The latest TWRP cant be instlled with latest avaiable ROM für SM-T510. I got always errors in Odin when i try to flash AP...

ROM is T510XXU5CVB1. Latest avaiable from Frija

EDIT: Nevermind, it was the wrong Cable / USB Port...

The July 2022 Update U5CVG2 is being distributed now via the Software update. Got that update this morning. Any ETA on an updated TWRP? Or can I use the TWRP U5CVB1 file?
