I am using Android 9 on my SM-T860. It is rooted. I am using TWRP.
I would like to upgrade to Android 10 with Odin and then re-root the tablet with Magisk using TWRP, is that possible? I think I read someplace that Magisk, Tab S6 and Android 10 were not fully compatible?
Assuming it was okay, do I need to flash WETA kernel and flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt in TWRP again before Magisk like I did when I first got the Tab and unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP?
I also had to hard reboot the tablet while it was building cache (it seemed to freeze and that was described in the root guide I followed) the very first time is booted up after all this rooting, would that be necessary again?
My tablet is one that has crashed several times, I hope that it's a software issue and installing new Android will fix it.
Also, why does my PC spell checker not pick up typos like on some other forum post websites? Why isn't there a red squiggly line under errors for my to right click and correct?
Hello i have an tab s6 from tmobile too i want to know if anybody has flaahed it with uk firmware or any other internatiinal firmware and it runs fine or any links to root and unlock it since i been for more than 10 month with the big T and they dont know how to unlock it any info is apreciated thanks

Yes. You will lose TWRP. It will be replaced with stock recovery.

If I flashed a ROM that uses ME7 and I want to ODIN back to stock, is it possible?
Or will I brick my phone? Reason I want to go back to stock is no matter what ROM I flash; every time I reboot my phone gets stuck on the samsung logo.
Answered my own question:
It does not matter...
If you are not on the ME7 OTA update then you should be fine odin'ing back to mdk
If you are on the OTA, then you are stuck with me7

The post above really answered your question. But just in case you need to be reassured:
On our device (at the moment), as long as you didn't accept the VRUAME7 OTA, then your okay.
I actually have a couple of questions for you (if you have the time).
Can you help me out by giving me a little more information about how your getting stuck at the boot logo?
I suppose you started out clean (with VRUAMDK) and then rooted your device and installed a custom recovery.
Did you root with SuperUser (new cwm opensource) or SuperSU?
Which recovery did you install and how did you install it (which method)?
Which VRAUME7 ROM did you flash that you think started your boot issues?
Did you install the VRUAME7 radio/modem as well?
If so, which method did you use for updating your radio/modem and which files were used in your method (and where were they from)?

Anytime I installed a ROM(any ROM), I would test to see if I still had this problem and I would reboot my phone. Upon rebooting my phone, it never got passed the samsung logo. ODIN-ing back to stock helped fix this problem and now it works. However now I have an issue where facebook and instagram does not show any photos.....any ideas?
I suppose you started out clean (with VRUAMDK) and then rooted your device and installed a custom recovery.
Correct, I ODIN-ed back to MDK.
Did you root with SuperUser (new cwm opensource) or SuperSU?
SuperSU (motochopper SU script)
Which recovery did you install and how did you install it (which method)?
TWRP 2.6 using Goo manager then reverted back to 2.5.0.2
Which VRAUME7 ROM did you flash that you think started your boot issues?
Honestly, hard to say could be the nightly of CM10.2 (8/21)
Did you install the VRUAME7 radio/modem as well?
No I did not, do I need to update the radio/modem???
If so, which method did you use for updating your radio/modem and which files were used in your method (and where were they from)?
See previous answer.
Hope this helps
I'm seeing an available firmware upgrade via kies (MK7).
I'm a little skeptical to try it. Has anyone else upgraded to this firmware?
If so, have you been able to root your mega and install a custom recovery after the upgrade?
I don't want to install this firmware upgrade only to find out that afterwards that knox is on it and prevents me from rooting the phone or unlocking the bootloader.
By the way, I tried downloading the firmware without my phone connected but kies keeps force closing on me before the download is complete.
I'm afraid to connect my phone and try the download because I think it will automatically install the upgrade which I don't want to do until I'm sure I can re-root it and re-install TWRP.

I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. I am happy to report that the firmware upgrade was successful using Kies, I was able to root the device via the Kingo Root app, and was able to re-install TWRP. I am now on firmware M819NUVUAMK7. It is still Android version 4.2.2, and the baseband is also M819NUVUAMK7. The kernel version is dated Fri Nov 22, 2013
I installed superSU and when I ran it, it asked me if I wanted to disable knox (YES OR NO). OF COURSE I DISABLED KNOX!!
I afterward performed a nandroid backup in TWRP (the first order of business).
I am more comfortable now deleting, freezing, uninstalling system apps now because (in the event of a softbrick or bootloop) I can always revert to my nandroid backup or in extreme cases, restart all over again by re-installing the firmware via Kies, re-rooting the device via the kingo root app, and reinstalling TWRP via ODIN.
Not sure what changed from the original firmware (no change log). In any event, the device is snappy and I'm not experiencing any lags.

well easiest way is. if its your stock ROM that came with the phone when you bought it. it is odex.
if you are rooted, you can use root explorer to go into your system/app file and see if it shows odex settings for apps
I did and had no problem rooting with kingo. What I cannot find is a way around sim lock without going through metro and that sucks.

Almost had a heart attack from this upgrade. My phone was already rooted when I applied the update from Kies. Everything went through fine except when it restarted, I couldn't turn on Wifi at all and I was getting an E in the cell signal. I managed to download the TWRP tar file and Kingo app to root again. I was able to restore my previous backed up image and everything was when I last left it! WHEW!
That's strange. I had no problem. wifi worked and I haven't seen E at all (only 4g lte or 4g). My signal appears to be stronger and more stable with this update than with the original firmware (most of the time I have full bars). As mentioned I don't know what changes were made (no change log around) but this is my observation so far.

This string is present on my phone in download mode:
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 3
I have no lines displaying anything about KNOX.
In titanium backup I froze knox 1.0, knox notification manager 1.0, and knox store 1.0.
So it appears that knox is in the rom somewhere but it's had no impact on me. I'm rooted, have twrp installed and have flashed multiple custom roms on my device (both tw and aosp based roms).
Perfect, thanks! Glad you guys got spared from the horrid new Knox bootloaders. There's a small chance that the M819 can be downgraded to the older bootloader to remove Knox entirely, but if the update came with the newest bootloader (I got stuck with it on my i527M) there is no hope at all of downgrading.
Thanks to whoever posted this and the creator of this rom

I miss my LTE data speeds. if you know how to fix or anything please point me in the right direction thanks.
The first step for flashing Alliance was making sure i have the 4.3 firmware. Flashed via Odin.
I experfienced some trouble with a bootloop issue so i changed cables and then partitioned with the .pit file.
All's well now, it at least runs the stock firmware just fine. Now i'm strugglling with the most basic simple part IMO... how do i install the custom Rom without the recovery??

You are rooted still correct? Easiest way I guess is to just download Rom Manager or GooManager depending on using TWRP or CWM.

I chose to bump up my android version cuz i friend another SIM card. I tether for my Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and whatever else, thankfully my laptop can get weak unsecured internet signals, but i'm walking my Note around the apartment trying to get good 1x reception Problems may be overlapping but next step is something basic from the Play Store to verify root.
I read of some luck with root for 4.3, just not bootloader. Am i correct?

Not rooted. it sounds like rooting is still an option, just not custom recovery?
Is using ODIN to flash stock rooted an option? No valuable files on phone currently.

I believe if you took/flashed the OTA update, your kinda out of luck and stuck now. I'm not 100% certain of this though but I think it probably relocked the bootloader and the only thing to do is wait for someone to root/unlock 4.3.

Correct. If you took the OTA it relocked your bootloader and you are stuck. You can still root the official 4.3 but you are stuck waiting until someone unlocks the bootloader. This means no custom ROMs/Recovery.
Which 4.3 firmware did you flash? If its the OTA then yes you're outta luck.
If you did follow the Alliance's rom thread. There is a 4.3 MJ9 firmware you need to flash. It doesn't have the locked bootloader. You are then able to boot up in the basic recovery and then flash either TWRP or CWM recovery.
Hello. I want to root my nexus 9 without installing any custom recovery. I want this because i want to receive google updates...
And sont suggest me about "install custom recovery and when you need flash the stock etc.)
Thanks in advance
Wrong forum. This is a dev forum, not Q&A. Rooting w/out custom recovery is possible with chainfire's autoroot flashable zips. But still you won't receive OTA updates b/c since Lollipop the validation process has changed and you need to be pure stock. This also includes the recovery iirc.
Moved to correct forum

Since when does rooting prevent OTA updates? Thats the first time I hear that.
On my N10 I always booted only into TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flashed from there the supersu.zip and still got OTAs without any issues.
I sold my N10 and my N9 is currently on the way to me so Im preparing everything to unlock and root it as soon as it arrives, thats why I am checking all those threads right now regarding root.
Well, I read only about this root injecting methode which doesnt sound very good to me and the nexus toolkit methode. Isnt it possible to boot into TWRP like I did before? Why shouldnt this work on the N9?

My bad. I should have said you will not be able to install OTA if you are rooted. The install script checks system files and if anything has been modified, it aborts installation. Your better option is to fastboot flash the Google factory image.
So what is the current working root methode for 5.1.1 without losing OTA or flashing any recovery?
This injecting thing, nexus toolkit or another way?
--edit--
seems like CF-Auto-Root (special version for the N9) works also? Im right now having 40 windows open in chrome, trying to find the best way...
Question is, does it still work for 5.1.1?
Again: Why should not boot into TWRP and then flash the supersu zip not work? Any issues with that?
Please share your experience. Thanks

Alright, so the 'usual' way works as always, thanks for clearing this up. Was wondering if there were still some issues with rooting the N9.
So you suggest the beta version of supersu, will give a try first to the stable one, if this doesnt work ill try the beta.

Stable should work for Lollipop. Beta necessary for M. And beta works fine on Lollipop, too, FWIW.
Hi. I had rooted a galaxy s10 lite, android 11 of a friend of mine. He doesn't need root any more. If i go to settings and search for an official update, it gives me, "phone is running an unofficial firmware and can't be updated" or something like this. Phone is running official firmware but rooted actually.
So if i factory reset from settings I'll obviously loose root. Phone will boot i suppose, if nothing have changed resentlly. Will update then works? He doesn't have a PC. Or because bootloader will be unlocked, will still make update not working?
Thanks,

hello colleague
First of all, back up your information.
You will have to restore the s10 lite with the system from odin.
the bootloader will still be unlocked (if you previously unlocked it)
once restored from odin, you will be able to install updates over wifi.
you can try
restoring from system, but I'm not sure if it will work.
if it has twrp.
If you decide to restore from system and it works for you, you can share your experience, for future reference.
having the bootloader unlocked does not affect ota updates
Thanks.. Yes i know how to do it in odin. That's what i want to pass as I'll probably factory reset his phone without a pc to a coffee shop for example.. When I'll do it, ill post, although i think i won't do it very soon.
