Both based on Android 10 and should be up to date. If anyone sees an update at any time, please feel free to inform me and I'll build new ones.

Hi guys, quick question. Its been a while since Ive rooted anything... I have the T290 and my bootloader is unlocked. Can this be as simple as flashing TWRP and this ROM in Odin (I assume using the BL from 9?) Ive been reading all these threads, but there doesnt seem to be an easy way to get root. Some have you patching the ROM in Magisk Manager, going thru this button sequence, or that sequence...

I guess by easy I mean that there is just a clear cut way to do it. I am on BTI2 which is the latest update I got recently...

Good afternoon! Here is the file for rutting
I do not use recovery.img, it’s better when recovery is stock, then it’s easier to enter recovery mode and after entering into recovery mode Root rights will not be lost ...
Good luck

sm-t290 user here, it works, I bow to you, sir!

(SECURE CHECK FAIL VBMETA) - This is only a warning, the vbmeta file is flashed and ODIN says PASS!

It is necessary to remove the AutoReboot bird before the TWRP firmware, since the stock recovery is restored after the reboot. After the PASS display, disconnect the cable and enter the recovery mode, that is, into the flashed TWRP.

I'm currently stuck at this step, the link you've posted here doesn't work anymore with the change of the forum. Am I doing something wrong? once it's flashed I try to boot up in recovery, but everytime, I get a "SECURE CHECK FAIL : receovery.img" I need to flash the whole firmware again to boot up the tablet again.

If Android 10 is installed, then it will be so, the protection in it is strengthened and the issue is solved only by replacing the bootloader with Android 9 ... Take the BL file from the previous Android 9 firmware and flash it through ODIN as part of BL.
P.S. How do I delete unwanted messages? ..

currently thinking about buying a sm-t295.
current owners: will the lineage gsi work? will telephony work on there?

Hey. So I'm considering rooting my 2 sm-t290 tablets. Is it easy to allow the sd cards for apps after root? If it is easy is there a easy to follow guide with all the links for stuff ill need to complete the root process?
I do apologize if this isn't the correct place to ask
