So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2
Hi all
I am trying to upgrade a Lenovo Tab 3 (TB3-710F) 7" tablet because Android 5 is the latest official version. Ideally, 7 is better, but I will be happy with 6. I have downloaded SP Flash Tool and TWRP 3.0.2, and that is installed correctly and all working. Now the actual ROM is the problem. I have downloaded Resurrection Remix, LineageOS 13, Viper and Dot, and it would appear most of them have the same problem. When I try to install the zip file, I get told that it's unable to unmount or mount /system and it crashes out with signal 11. I have tried to wipe and reformat the system folder, again being told it's unable to unmount /system, and have changed the file system from NTFS or exFAT and back to Ext4, but to no avail. I suspect until I can format the system folder correctly, it won't install, but for the sake of me, I can't. Has anyone got any advice?
bump
A custom rom would be great for the tb3-710f.
I have just done a factory reset and most Google apps won't run because play services can't update.
bump
I've just upgraded to 5.1.1 on a TB3-710F using an old CyanogenMod cm-12 custom rom so that I can use Google's FamilyLink, works well.
Do you have a link to the LineageOS 13 rom?
I also had a similar error installing the cm-12 rom but that was because I'd missed wiping /data in TWRP first before attempting to install the rom.
YESS>>> We need lineage os for TB 3-710f.. I too use cm12
SOOOO.... Anyone??
I too have CM-12 on my Lenovo. so anywhere have a link to download any custom ROM but not CM-12.
let me explain, firstly

because all of those ROMs are not compatible with your device. that is why it won't flash. If you force it to install that specific ROM, it might end up in a boot loop. You must have not deleted all your files. :c

You did not upgrade though. The tablet is literally on 5.1.1 so maybe you did this because you hate the lag of its own UI provided by Lenovo. Well that is a good choice. Although, it does not make any difference between the apps that you can run and can't run because it is still in the same version (Android 5.1.1).
To be honest, even if you try to find a Lineage OS ROM, it is useless because it is not on the list of supported devices. Almost all custom ROMs do not have this tablet on their list (I hope they added and modify some **** because we really need it :c). For now, the only custom ROM that I know this tablet can have is Cyanogenmod 12. It is your own choice if you want to install the buggy ones. The buggy ones are, Lineage OS and Flyme OS.
here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lenovo-tab-3-7-tb3-730x-custom-roms-custom-recoveries.3623506/

Did a clean install with the stock TB3-710F_S000028_170316_ROW. Then format. Then tried to install the two ROM's.

No, stock is ok.
So as the title says i saw that the EU ROM for android 10 was available and i downloaded it and dirty flashed it via TWRP before disabling all (Camera IR enabler and GL tools) magisk modules. The Phone booted but all my apps were gone. Rebooted to TWRP and it couldn't decrypt /data even with my phone password.
I use the decryption support TWRP.
It got even more messed up and had to format /data and lost all my data in the process.
Why did I get encrypted when i flashed the EU ROM ? Did i do something wrong ? I don't want to have to go through this again.
Had the same issue as well. I thought EU roms had force encryption disabled

I also thought that too. Looks like you can't trust even one of the most reliable ROM releases now. I always take backups before doing anything crazy. Just this time I decided that I didn't need one as I had a great experience with EU ROMs. It wouldn't have been a big problem for me if the govt. hadn't banned internet here. ??
The first Android 11 Beta release for Mi CC9 Pro/Mi Note 10 (Pro) is there.
Don't expect a fully working system, many apps aren't optimized for Android 11 yet.
Do a clean flash (Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik) and flash it with any custom recovery.

Seems like it because the recent TWRP bootloops the EU Android 11 rom. Past roms had no problem using with and without magisk.

The current twrp works fine for roms, an earlier version of the EU rom did bootloop but it's fixed, I'm running 20.10.15 right now, specifically Magisk seems to have issues right now either with twrp or magisk itself just needs to be updated.

For me it did not, wiped everything and then after installing, thr Miui 12 splash screen shows upa nd tries to boot up but then afterwards it takes me back to TWRP.
I will wait until it is more stabilized with magisk or when there is a global eu version of it.

I had same problem with fixed build of Xiaomi.eu, you have to FORMAT DATA, and then install fixed build It help me, remember to FORMAT DATA, not only wipe Data Partition.
I regret installing new rom. I don't really see v anything new except HUGE battery drain with cellular data and hardware camera provider.
Sad to hear, the last stable build with the best battery life was EU 11.1.2, past that version, the battery can't do 11-12:30 hours of SoT like 11.1.2
Build in the works. Going to release the BETA as soon as I can do testing on my own device before release.
IMO this is a necessity as there are literally no good roms for this right now. I tried the port of the Nexus stock CR rom and it was not great. Playstore was unusable due to an issue were the app thinks the system is out of storage space, even though it is almost empty. Chrome crashes instantly, the search on the page home screen flickers up/down without control.
I am a far bigger fan of LineageOS thus why I am working on this build.
More to come.

Playstore was unusable due to an issue were the app thinks the system is out of storage space, even though it is almost empty. Chrome crashes instantly, the search on the page home screen flickers up/down without control.
I am a far bigger fan of LineageOS thus why I am working on this build.
More to come.

As a follow up to my original post I wanted to mention that for anyone who wants a new ROM on their SM-T290 until this is finished development, use the Nexus Rom by Magendanz. I was able to do a fresh stock firmware install and retry the rom and my opinion has changed. I have noticed that these Tab A 8.0 tablets have been used a lot for like Uber/Door Dash and other POS terminals. I am pretty sure a lot of them have modified or customized firmware for these reasons and when I mine second hand it was from a pizza store. I think that messed up the upgrade.
Overall Magendanz did a great job, when you install it properly. I have zero issues with functionality now, TWRP recovery set up, as well as Magisk installed and everything is running extremely well.
As far as instruction on how to install. Take a look at some of the comments further down on the Nexus thread. That is what I did this time around and it worked perfectly. Last thing I did was copy Magisk.Apk to my SD, change extension from .APK to .ZIP, then boot into TWRP and install that ZIP.
Going to update progression on a monthly basis as far as the LineageOS 18.0 build

Do you have a github with your source code and manifest? I just got this tablet (used) yesterday and I would like to see if I can help. I have built LineageOS roms for a number of older Samsung Tab A devices, but will have to do some research on the "new to me" T290. Thanks.
Just got this tablet, how's the beta coming along? And what can I do to help?
Thank you my guy I had lost all hope for custom roms on this tablet. It's quite relieving to know that I'm not alone.
Also, has anyone experienced severe lag on one ui 3 while doing basic tasks? The thing literally gets 5 fps while watching youtube and surfing the web but it plays 3d games at 20 fps on low settings. wtf

Hey Guys,
I didnt end up building a custom rom, because I was able to get the GSI version of Lineage 19 working fairly easily. Just use the correct image and flash the same as the Nexus post. Android 12 with Lineage 19 so i felt it wasnt worth it as everything works. I had trouble at first with a boot loop but that was because I had installed Magisk BEFORE the GSI rom and not AFTER. So dont make my mistake.
As per the Nexus Post;
Unlock Bootloader
flash TWRP
Wipe data
Install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 19 GSI
Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-19.x at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Install Magisk
Reboot
Cheers!

Good advice But which of Andy's GSIs did you use exactly ?
Thanks so much dude
The GSI is a .img.xz will it work or does it need to be .gsi

You download the .img.xz file and unzip it.
Inside this will be the .img file
This is what you need to flash (.img)

Sorry
Use this one
lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS.img.xz
It has Gapps built in as well as super user through SSH, dont install Magisk as it will error that there is already SU tool installed.
@SniperFox22 , did you make a github for the code or didn't even start since you are happy with GSI?

My OS didn't have an option to unzip it at first glance. I haven't been able to install gapps so I'm gonna try that gsi. Also, am I supposed to wipe internal storage before flashing or not?
I got it working but games just crash which is worse than before
Came across this while trying to root my sm-t290. Just want to add that Andy Yan has upgraded to a 19.1 version that appears to work just fine. Flashed to system partition using twrp after I had flashed the Nexus rom. Wifi works, sound works, sd card, bluetooth keyboard works just fine.

Link to it???
I like the link above because it has all the versions but lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img.xz is the one that I used. The page has the naming convention. Ill mention that even though it says that it's supposed to be rooted, I couldn't get it to work right. The nexus rom had an option in the 'phh treble' menu to activate root and this lineage image should also but the option wasn't there. It kept saying the supersu binary was busy but that was after I flashed a supersu.zip(it may have worked before then i don't know). I played with it a little bit but ended up just flashing back to the Nexus rom.
Hey guys!
Installed "lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img"
Everything starts up, but something is weird with my installation and my storage, it freezes when i go into storage and i cant download anything without apps start to crash.
Im not sure if i flashed it correctly, i did a wipe in TWRP before installation.
Really hope i can get this to work since it waaaaay faster then the bloat samsung ships
Edit:
Tried flashing another rom (nexus) and had the same issue!
trying to reflash and wipe everything except internal storage.
Where should i flash image? i get: "select partition to flash image", never seen that before (might be because you flash img and not zip)
