How to get rid of lag for good (firmware update)

-Kiss the lag goodbye first, since you'll never see it again
-Download Odin 3.09, and download this firmware file -BMJ6 (its 2 updates newer than the one most people have)
Choose AUSTRALIA
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-P600&pcode=0#firmware
-Put your tablet in download mode, connect by USB, choose the md5 file in Odin (AP) and flash
-Once it boots up and you're in, factory reset
-Once you are in in again, install Nova Launcher (optional but recommended)
-Open S voice, hit menus, and disable option that allows it to be launched via home button
-Uninstall/Disable any useless apps
-Give the tab 5-10 minutes to update/index everything, and watch it fly
OPTIONAL:
-Obtain root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490805
-Freeze the 7 Knox containing items in the Titanium Backup app and any garbage you see fit (S-Finder, S-Voice, Samsung apps)
**I tested this on my P600 bought from the States, and it's blazing fast now, keyboard launch speed, home button speed, notification bar.. even Chrome is faster.

you may lose access to some apps. I think if you edit the build.prop or some csc file and set the region to xar it should give back some apps.

^this is correct, so far though I've been able to access all apps I use. Haven't observed anything missing yet. Speed is so worth it right now

You need to be rooted for this I'm assuming? I just picked mine up today and yes there is so much lag, even with Nova launcher.
Any tips on how to fix it without rooting first? Kinda waiting for a 0x0 Knox root for the SMP600

Oh okay cool. Stupid question though, will this trip Knox?
And how do you get into Download mode again?

I'm not too sure about the Knox question, what happens when it gets tripped? I've had no knox notifications or problems at all after I flashed it
and even after rooting and freezing knox, still no problems or notifications during boot or when im in andorid..
Download: When tablet is off, hold power button and volume down until you see the screen, then volume up to continue

Flashing this Stock Firmware Update via ODIN will not trip KNOX, so you can do that without worries.
But if you root device with the optional information at the bottom of the OP, you will trip the KNOX "eFuse". I personally don't are about my KNOX status as ROOT is more important for me, and I purchased a SquareTrade warranty for the device, and they don't care either. :laugh:

Is this the same FW Update that this user got?

Also, can we use Mobile ODIN to flash this?

Thanks! Now we need a way to extract it and make a flashable for us rooted users.

If we unroot using Super SU, it should allow updates again, no? Or does rooting permanently trip the counter?

Well, that worked, once I rebooted from unrooting I checked for updates, it came through and I applied it, now to see if I can reroot on this new FW.

You can definitely re-root after this firmware. The UI is definitely snappier. Thanks to the OP!

Can someone confirm that this does eliminate all lag? In particular, can someone with LectureNotes confirm that there is no problem coming out of the app?
I'm on a crappy iPad Air and am missing my Note!!

I rooted via Beans and got the "system modified" message so no update for me. Flashed MJ4 via Odin 3.09 and was able to get the update (didn't have to reset), but will have to reroot. SuperSU pro won't even launch.

no, no speed increases. either everyone else must have had crappy tablets or they're just having a placebo affect. hell, i even factory reset after the last update just for S&G's and had 0 improvement. if it is better, then it must be so minute that i can't perceive it and no benchmark that gives hgher numbers will make me see any speed increases in real use.
i am happy with it, but samsung must have come out with some crappy software to bog this beast down. i mean even the keyboard lags when typing. i can type craploads faster using thumb kb instead of the samsung split kb.
and the multitouch issue hasn't been resolved either -that's been discussed in some other thread here.
i'd love for them to fix all these issues, but if we don't have a dev to replace beans (if he leaves) then i'll have to ignore any future updates if we have to give up root for it.

Everything was running pretty smooth for me already but this last update has definately increased the speed in opening and closing applications, restart and shut down, coming out of lockscreen and overall efficiency in Graphical rendering. My guess is that the update improved communication between the octocore processors and the GPU. Lecturenotes is fluid both in both opening closing and using it in multiwindow.

The biggest things that improved for me with this update was the opening/closing of apps and the fluidity of screen rotation. The UI was smooth before the update but certain aspects were definitely improved after it.
You gotta admit guys, we all should know by now that YMMV with updates. What might make things better for one person might make it worse for another...

OK I've used MK1 for 3 days now, and I just flashed back to the J6 in the OP
It is way faster, I'm not convinced its an older build but just a different one (for Non-NA)
Either way, I'm glad I flashed back, much faster, and i get the ripple effect on the lock screen again
PS: if you care for the multi user account, which I don't, then stick to MK1
this is my opinion and what I consider fast/snappy, as stated above YMMV

Wow. Just went back to the 2014 and installed all 3 updates, then rooted. Seems ok, but still lag in waking.
Everything else is fine. Not sure if I want to start all over again.

SM-T320 March 2015 Firmware Upgrade

I've just installed the latest firmware for the TabPro 8.4; KOT49H.T320XXUBOC1. Disappointingly, it's still 4.4.2 which makes me wonder if we'll ever see a L-pop upgrade. I've only been running it for a half-hour or so but can't notice any difference. I'll report back if there any major problems.

IPTV or torrent tv, normally plays through mx player ?. Was a bug, half of the screen black
http://forum.xda-developers.com/app...f-screen-black-watching-t3017829#post58842303

That firmware is just for the UK, which I believe went to NI1 last fall about a month before the U.S. went to NK1.
I don't know that I'd read a lot into it. If anything, they could be getting UK firmware better aligned with other locations for a smoother universal upgrade to 5.
Edit: Okay, looks like it's indeed out now for the U.S., too. Still hoping it's progress towards a Lollipop upgrade.

So does anyone actually know what changes this update brought? I was having some issues with my tab pro 8.4 missing touches, i 1st noticed it during gaming but was able to replicate it with display tester multitouch test.
It seems to be fine now, i thought for sure it was a hardware defect but now I'm not so sure. Anyone else in a similar position as me?

Hey there
I m downloading it, but not sure i will apply it .. does it makes root going byebye ? Wanna stay with my device rooted !

Just finished updating and was very disappointed that it's still 4.4.2, I didnt check this forum beforehand so was hoping for a nice surprise.
I hope we see official 5.0 for our devices...

Still. Nothing here! Will we ever get lollipop?

I'm in the process of trying to line up everything to do this. My update that pushed through took me to T320UEU1AOC1. I haven't located the extracted US kernel file for that and unfortunately don't know how to pull it from my current build. Sammobile has an AOC1 file noted as Cellular South and the build time is same date as mine but different timestamp. Anyone know if that would work to get me back to my current build and keep my US region?

Could you put the steps I need in order to what you did here?

I have the Romanian version of the updated ROM on a T325.
The biggest issue I have noticed is with the light sensor, with the previous ROM the auto setting worked smoothly, now with the new ROM the screen doesn't fade continuously. Whenever I turn on the screen the brightness just switches from a higher to a lower setting or inversely (without smooth fading and with lag), also the screen flickers horribly when it detects a change so I can't use the auto anymore.
The second issue is with the Samsung keyboard with learning disabled, in a Facebook floating chat window I tried to respond to someone and the keyboard would auto complete with empty words and after every word I had to delete the word before to be able to write the next word. I had to re-enable the learning to get rid of this very annoying problem.
I will try to downgrade to the previous ROM and root it with towelroot and say goodbye to any future official Samsung updates. Samsung has the ****tiest update developers, actually I had the same problem with the auto light setting (but not so serious) with the ROM which was before the good one.
By the way, if Lollipop comes DON'T UPGRADE. Lollipop on S5 sucks bigtime, the phone has major issues, android eats more battery than the screen.
Stick with the previous ROM, for me it was the most flawless one. I might try a cache wipe on the current ROM but I doubt it has anything to do with the screen flickering.

After losing root when I took the T320UEU1AOC1 update, I was able to flash the T320 kernel in this thread then use Towelroot again. I did have to reboot, even though it told me I wouldn't need to. I uninstalled and reinstalled SuperSU (hit cancel when I got the SuperSU notice about Knox) and verified root with Root Checker Basic. Then installed the AOC1 kernel. I still have root and Knox is not tripped. (KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0; KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0)

Rooted but how to update to newest software?

I also don't know if SmartSwitch software will allow to update with root.. just reading about it myself.
It seems to be rolling out but I guess it depends on countries... Like always...
Well the main problems I usually get is with Xposed, that require clean state phone... with s6 was ok though. If you don't use it it could be fine...
You know how is it, clean wipe will make phone literally 0 flaws while with wipe something can come up while you just spend half hour configuring it, but you know you always spend 3 hours+ re-configuring the phone to your liking from a clean state.... I guess everyone on this forum had a issue with this decision but in the end we all end up spending more time looking to the phone than we should. ahah

The problem with OTA is that they build over and over time you get a slower phone usually... with root you loose OTA anyway, so it was that excuse I used to myself for rooting my s7 edge the day I bought it
Shouldn't affect the radio but double check it due to CSC

I tried to flash the new rom from UAE with a modified HOME_CSC but after sucess flashing it got stuck at boot... However I used a firmware for UAE this time, despite being OJV. SO ended up with a clean phone again... so I'm not sure if I did it with a TUR rom like my original it would be ok or if I did something wrong while creating the tar file with cygwin. Notice that both are OJV.
as for root:
Most likely you need to flash it again... I just flash TWRP image trough odin and then superuser... however I found that after booting in need to go back again to twrp and format everything again except /system otherwise I get problems with Xtouchwiz module

How to update to a newer firmware with TWRP flashed?
Is it possible without a full wipe?

No one has an answer for it? I wanna know it too.
I hope there is a way without full wipe.

I rooted using a custom script someone made in the att thread. It fixed the cpu frequencie issues and adjusted each governor of the small and big clusters. So far so good with only minot hiccups once in a while. I haven't noticed much of a difference with the pg1 firmware if any. If you need help rooting check out the att forum or i can help when i get back home.

if we are already rooted on PD8, can we just flash this ontop of PD8 and retain root? What about user data?

I got this update on 2 S7's and on both of them, I now have cellular data issues. Wifi calling will keep giving me a notice that my phone is going to use wifi for calls when the feature is set to prefer Cellular for calls. Rebooting doesn't help, it will eventually say it again. I have to keep turning off wifi to force the message away. And during browsing on cellular, it drops a lot even though I know I have great coverage where I use it. With 2 phones, and only have this update, I think something is wrong with this firmware.

Bit of an emergency and I'm on an old phone I can't find charger for but I need the .tar file for the firmware before this last update. I kept refusing the update and today I went to root finally and I'm stuck in boot loop with the engboot

A factory reset should fix it, this happened to me as well.

S health knox warning on Nougat final. Not rooted

I'm not rooted but I can't launch s health on the final version of Nougat that my phone updated to today. (Xxu1dplt)
It says about a Knox warning and device compromised?
It's running stock though! Anyone else with the same issue?

Have you ever rooted before and then unrooted? Sorry if stupid question

Once knox is tripped, game over even if you unroot.

Nope. I assumed s health didn't work in earlier beta due to being beta.
I've never rooted this phone. Only thing I did was install beta by applying in the beta app.

Try uninstall and re-install again s-health

Go to download mode by switching off the device then hold Power + Volume Down + Home
Does it say Warranty void: 1?

It wasn't but it is now. Seems somehow during the beta it has tripped it. I contacted samsung and they're not interested.
It doesn't matter now as i've bit the bullet and installed twrp+renovate edge rom. Ironically renovate edge is running better than the official rom did with better doze despite having all the same apps installed. And s-health works fine on it.
Not sure what samsung are trying to prove by crippling people running the official ROM.

Ye if Knox has tripped, Samsung will have nothing to do with it, even if it's their fault, they just don't want to hear about it.

If what you want is to use SHealth on stock nougat with a knox tripped phone, I can give you a working solution with one caveat.
If you were already a beta tester you need to Odin back to BTU mm (or whatever CSC version you used to join the beta) and setup your phone normally. Make sure you also open SHealth. After, if you have not received a notification to update, go to settings and manually search for updates. Depending on which version of marshmallow you went back to, you might receive one update to the latest 6.0.1 available and after that, you will again be prompted to update, this time to 7.0. If you follow these steps, SHealth will work, even with knox tripped, but, if you manually reset the phone. SHealth will be blocked once again.
I know it seems a little complicated, but it's really not that hard.
Hope this helps.

This is weird . There's no way Knox is tripped without you doing anything like flashing TWRP.

yes, i've been flashing my phone for around 10times with official binaries and never tripped knox. I flashed BTU(from INS) and updated to N, s health working fine here

Ive had the same problem, after flashing the official UK Rom. Knox is not triggered but shealth refused to work.
I reflashed the rom using every file incl. CSC and now everything works like it should.

I am quite new at this, so you basically did this in Odin?
.... can't post link to picture
You add in Odin: BL, AP, CP and CSC ?
I have the same problem in Shealth, and i would really like to stick with warrenty (Currently in the dawnload mode is still 0). And with Shealth compromised, My Knox app doesn't works as well.

Hi,
i used this guide :
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30800
dont know if i am allowed to post the link.
i did step 3.

Way to make shealth working on tripped but stock devices:
Install marshmallow with odin
Run shealth for it to start collecting user data
Update to nougat without wiping device
profit
