[ROOT][SM-T580/585&all Tabs A][CF-AUTO-ROOT][Simplest method to get ROOT & TWRP ]

The T350 doesn't have a locked bootloader and neither does OEM UNLOCK unlock the bootloader on any Samsung device.

Now I understand the OEM Unlock toggle doesn't simply unlock a bootloader and is usually used for factory reset protection.

But the question becomes, why do some devices have the toggle and others don't? My T350 doesn't have the OEM Unlock toggle but my T560 does.

And usually rooting or custom recoveries end up need this option to be on. Or in my case I've seen the two situations automatically turn the toggle on by themselves.

Only devices released with Android 5.1.1 or greater have OEM UNLOCK.
The Tab T350 was released with Android 5.0.

Also if a Samsung device is shipped with a locked bootloader it won't have OEM UNLOCK as it would be useless.

Since the T-350 doesn't have the toggle I expected it might be a locked version of the MSM8916. You're point about initially shipping w/5.0.2 installed makes a good point though. And I've seen a few other people talk about the 350 having a locked bootloader.

But on the N920A I know for sure it has the toggle solely for carrier unlocking, as the bootloader is still locked. I understand that the Mobile and Tablet lines do differ a bit though. I don't remember installing 5.0.2 on it however.

My Verizon S6 Edge doesn't have one but shipped with 5.0.2 and has a locked bootloader.

I have a SM-T380. The firmware.mobi site only has the firmware for the SM-T385 model. The only difference is that the T385 model has a sim card.

Will I be okay to flash the T385 firmware onto my T380?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sammobile has firmware for the T380 here.

Sammobile has firmware for the T380 here.

But then how do I get root? Should I send my firmware to cf auto root and then just wait?

Some kind of authentication failure. Device wants to restore original system.

This time I did get the "installing supersu" text, but rooting did not go cleanly.

I bought an SM-T585 tab few days ago and I just cant live without root access in Android world! I really need AdAway and Titanium Backup (got paid license) working on this device to make my move from old tab easier and remove some of the bloatware Samsung has added.

I upgraded to latest ( NRD90M.T585XXU2BQK5), went https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:754/firmware:14452 to get the CF-AUTO-ROOT -package and downloaded it. Comes with Odin it seems, I guess I need to get drivers from Samsung site first though?

Now, I started wondering cause this will trip Knox, I guess this will stop OTA upgrades happening in future?
So I need to do upgrades manually with Odin in future (by downloading them from Sammobile -site)?
Is there a way to install Magisk instead of SuperSu? Will that also disable OTA upgrades?

Or should I go all in and just install custom ROM? LineageOS seems to be working on this tab and hopefully gets updated in future by someone. Then I would get rid of all bloat and start building my system like I want.

So many questions and information is bit confusing and scarce...

Yes you right. KNOX tripping in any case at least you will get supersu or magisk. But get update your firmware by Odin not difficult and more reliable then on air. You can install TWRP and then can install different custom roms.

Open link from OP. Select your firmware . In a bottom of page click CF-AUTO-ROOT. Configure by default and get file. Readme file into archive.

Verification Failed SM-T580

I have the dreaded verification failed. I tried to root and had the drawing verification on. Now it will not verify. Tried the stock rom and still no go. Any other advice?

Thanks
James

I ended up in the stock recovery and wipe data and factory reset and got out of the failure. I did have a backup so i was able to restore once I reformatted everything.

Will try to root again.

 

[klingklang01]

tried that on my SM-T 580 nougat twice and it fail miserably the two times. connect, starting the process and fail a 2/3 of the job. also tried kingroot. Is there a safe and REAL rooting software that work out there?

 

[MikeT.]

@klingklang01 I'm not an owner of this device, but I know a member in a german android forum was going this way some weeks ago and it worked for him (that's what he said).

If your having a problem rooting install TWRP then select "WIPE/Format Data", reboot bootloader and run CF Autoroot. You should have root after that

I'm looking to purchase the Galaxy Tab A (T580) in the near future. My main reason for rooting is to allow for Nandroid backups/restores on TWRP. Are there any gotchas that I should be aware of? Some specific questions might be:

1. is the bootloader unlocked?
2. can OTA updates be received without unrooting and returning to stock?
3. Is the warranty voided by rooting?
4. Assuming the tablet comes with Android 6.0 does it make sense to upgrade to 7.0 before rooting?​

Thanks in advance

I had the same questions when I bought mine. There was no problems rooting EXCEPT when I soft bricked installing twrp using the app. Install TWRP FIRST (ODIN) then formate data, you should not have any problems rooting after that. I used CF Autoroot but hind site says I should have tried Magisk.
