[Root][SM-T380][SM-T385] Samsung Tab A 8.0 (2017) Root Tutorial

[pksw]

Do phone calls/messaging still work after rooting? I can't seem to get it to work after installing a SIM card. 4g data works fine, but not phone functions. But I never tried with stock firmware, so unsure if this is related to rooting or not.

Update to my old post.... changed SIM card to another provider and my Tab A now works as a phone too.

how do we get OEM unlock for T380XAR1ARB3 android 7.1 build? Cant find unlock in dev options. Try adjusting the date by 7 days but did not work. I want to stay on 7.1.

If anyone has a SM-T380 dm me on XDA me and @andr0idfr3ak have once again ported a highly experimental LineageOS to the SM-T380 we need help with getting more info on the device to make it run properly and we would like if you guys help us run the test alpha builds and help us figure out how to make it work properly we have built a tree that builds a .zip this is no joke this is the real deal; we also were the guys who helped get LineageOS on the SM-T350. If you are interested in being a part of helping us figure it out just drop me a dm on XDA and I'll invite you guys to our private chats. Thanks for hearing me out. We could use more people with this device to figure it all out!

We have an experimental LineageOS build but TWRP Oreo is too old to flash it!.... https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ap1clOxY8SCdg4kQhtE9AuA6cUJg4nQ/view

All build credit goes to @Andr0idFr3ak basically The Freaking iDroid I only provided him information for building.

We need a newer TWRP build and trees if @ashyx would be willing to OpenSource the TWRP trees for the SM-T380 my friend would be willing to upgrade the recovery in order to flash the LineageOS build properly
