Flash TWRP with odin (windows) or heimdall (linux).

 

[harithzaim88]

help

Flash TWRP with odin (windows) or heimdall (linux).

dear walter,

progress so far: factory reset the tab > root > flash twrp.
then what? im confused with the "Boot image with encryption" file.
which one first? rom or boot first?

 

[ektus]

rom first, and OpenGAPPs if you like (both in the same session, select the rom, then add more images and select gapps). Boot is independent, but has to be installed also if you want to use encryption.

 

[ektus]

Installed the complete package (rom, boot, twrp and openGAPPS pico) on my spare N5110. Seems to be working as before, and retains the USB bug. OTG device (keyboard) keeps reconnecting.

Did keyboard work on stock rom?

 

[ektus]

Did keyboard work on stock rom?

I don't know, haven't used stock on those tablets. It's not only the keyboard, other devices behave the same (e.g. mouse, webcam). This has been the case ever since I use the tablet, first with official LoS and now on the second tablet with this one.

Testing with a mouse, it works for a couple seconds, then it's gone for a second or two, works again for a couple seconds, vanishes briefly, ad infinitum.


Regards
Ektus.

Can you test with external powered otg cable?

 

[ektus]

Can you test with external powered otg cable?

I don't have such a cable. I believe I did already test with a powered USB Hub connected to a normal OTG cable, but have misplaced that powered hub so currently can't repeat that test either

[edit]
Found the powered hub. A mouse connected to that hub behaves the same. I've added a USB power meter in between, the hub doesn't pull power from the tablet.

[walter79]

Tested a wireless keyboard. Works well with and without external power

edit: wired mouse works well too

Can you test again with attached boot.img ?

 

[ektus]

Can you test again with attached boot.img ?

Sure. Connected the mouse 88s after boot, keeps toggling. dmesg is attached.

can you install a samsung stock rom? Maybe it is a hardware fault.

I've never gone that route. If there is a stock rom and boot I can flash with TWRP, I could try.

It would be a general fault in the N5110, too, as it's present in both of my devices.

Ektus

Hi walter79 - thanks for giving my trusted GT-N5100 a new live now with encryption support. Due to your work and of rgib and others, I am still able to use the device as my main device for note taking and quick reading. Now with the 2nd battery, but still kicking. I am still testing things, but haven't found anything suspicious yet.

Please continue the good work!
