Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T818 Update on TWRP and root

[justibasa]

Like the title says, the new T-Mobile version of the S2 with the Snapdragon processor. Is there any type of development being looked at for it? I'm looking to be able to debloat it at the very least. Any knowledge of that here at all?

UPDATE: So looks like that TWRP for the T819 works great for the T818 devices. Go to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ta...2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627/page67 and follow the directions there.

All thanks and credit to @ashyx and any other TWRP devs for this.

I too would like to know about this. I just want root. I read that 813 may be possible because of processor but I don't know

Don't know if you noticed in the TWRP thread, but we finally have our answer. Try using TWRP for the T819. I'll be giving it a try after work. If you do it sooner can you let me know if it works? One of us is going to have to be the guinea pig.

Did you go into developer settings and make sure OEM unlocking was checked? Says in the TWRP op that you may have to do that.

There is a permissive kernel on the development section for the 819. It might be worth a try. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/kernel-sm-t713-permissive-kernel-t3425938/page17

it says 719 and 813 in the op, which would i use?

Neither of them. I misread. Could have swore I saw 819. My bad dude. Got a little overexcited when I saw TWRP was working.

Yeah just wanted to check with you to make sure root worked, and what root you used. SuperSU or PHH?

super su. it installs when you do this...https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/twrp-3-0-2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627

make sure you get the encryption installed before supersu
