Tab S2 T817T 6.0.1

[fabe0334]

Is there literally nothing for this? I've got the method to downgrade to 4.1.1 but that only yields root apparently. No custom roms or anything.

Is there anything available for this tablet or remarkable about being on 4.1.1 I've searched both on all boards here on Tab S2 and it seems useless.

Aside from that, is there any way to unlock the simcard slot?

I apologize for the questions but it's looking like the tab may as well stay on 6.0.1.

Thanks for comments and advice, and yes, I've searched up and down (T817T all boards, etc.)

You have got to search and read through a bit more.

I only got this tablet (a used one of course) only 2 days back, so others may be able to help you more.
For me I just rooted the tablet and installed some xposed modules. For my need with the tablet, I don't need anything else.

Unlocking simcard slot has to be done from tmobile. I am not aware of any hacks available in xda.
You can install twrp and root the device if you want. T810/T815 they uses the same chipset. The information I have gathered so far indicate that you can install aosp roms for those models, but you shall not get cellular connectivity. Any chance of having official Nougat on this tablet is very very slim. There are some aosp 7.0 roms, but they are in early developmental stage; things like fingerprint sensor won't work.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on any of the things I mentioned.

I no longer have tmobile.

Could I flash the t810 firmware onto the t817 tab s2? This way I could get the updates straight from Samsung.

I was only able to get one ROM to work on mine. Ultimately, I gave up and just kept it stock.

I'm also frustrated with the T817T. I have been able to root it, flash TWRP, but I have never been able to flash a custom ROM. I have heard that the T815 ROMs should work, but I get an error in TWRP if I try to flash one.

I was reading something in the Note 10.1 2014 forum that you could flash the P605 (International) ROM to the P607T (T-Mobile) if you unzipped the ROM, removed the modem files, and rezipped it. I'm wondering if something like this would work for the T817T as well.

If anyone has any ideas how to do this, please respond here.
