[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.7.0 for 2019 Galaxy Tab A 8.0 [SM-T290]

Search This thread
Yes, I have the rom apart, do you think that if I install the rom again, will it be fixed? Or what do I have to do to fix it?
Is is the version with bootloader version 4? That currently won't support custom stuff, because Samsung disallowed it in the new bootloader and it can't be downgraded. You can still l reinstall the latest ROM, but I don't know whether this is your case. Check in Download mode what the bootloader version is and give it to me.

¿Es la versión con el gestor de arranque versión 4? Eso actualmente no admitirá cosas personalizadas, porque Samsung lo rechazó en el nuevo cargador de arranque y no se puede degradar. Todavía puede reinstalar la última ROM, pero no sé si este es su caso. Marque en modo de descarga cuál es la versión del gestor de arranque y dámela.
The truth is that I got lost in your explanation, I only understood the last thing, I think.Could you explain it a little more simply, for someone who is new to this?

There is a bootloader which makes the OS bookable, and the bootloader can be updated. On version 3 of the bootloader and lower, you can flash custom things like a custom recovery like TWRP. And now that you are on the latest One UI ROM, they updated the bootloader version. In version 4 of the bootloader, it is now impossible to flash those custom things. However, you might still be able to flash the stock ROM to get the stock recovery back.

Do I install the same ROM with which I had installed the twrp?.Do you think something will happen to it if I install this ROM. Will the errors it has be fixed?... but those errors are not because I updated the system, it is still the same with which I installed the twrp.

That won't work, the bootloader will stay at version 4 and there is currently nothing to get around it.
 
But how do I know if I have version 4 that you say I have?.suddenly it is not version 4 and it is a lower one.
Well, I am sure because of 2 reasons:

1. That error you get tells "Binary 4 > 3", meaning you are trying to downgrade bootloader version 4 to 3.

2. You told me the version of your tablet, which includes 'S4' in the version ID and that tells the bootloader version.

Unfortunately, you now can only stay on the stock ROM, and flash newer stock firmware with ODIN if needed.
I will do that 👍

I think so far I'm a little confused about the version 4 bootloader, about its advantages and disadvantages. You will not have a page where I can read about the bootloader version 4.

i'm facing black screen issue after flashing twrp. can see device in recovery mode through adb but nothings working. please tell a workaround
You don't give any details. I'll try to guess - the SM-T290 device is from the latest releases. They are characterized by either protection or the use of another display and when changing the bootloader to android 9, the screen turns black... There is no solution, except for replacing the device.
P.S. Rooting or installing TWRP is impossible without replacing the bootloader of android 10.11 with Android 9, since only with it it is possible to unlock and install custom files.

Yes, you can install android 9, but as soon as the android 9 bootloader is flashed, the display will be black. And how to use it?
TWRP replacement is secondary here, the current one also works, but with a dark display...
I do not know the solution to this problem and have not seen a solution in other topics...
 
i there any way i can install GSI with blank recovery
Maybe boot into recovery with the keys, and maybe then get to know the things you need to press by watching TWRP screenshots to get to ADB sideload. From then, you can run commands on your OC connected over ADB to flash GSIs I think.
