Sprint Activation
By activation I am assuming you mean gain network access to the Sprint data system? It should have prompted you for activation data at boot. Try through settings to connect to the mobile network and that should reinitiate the activation process. Not sure if this helps...

Thanks for the reply. I meant I bought the Tab without a data plan and do not wish to. It keeps trying to activate but cant. I am looking for a way around it.

I've been grappling with this for a while now, and unfortunately, the activation process can only happen if you were to have service. You could, thanks to Sprint's 30 money back guarantee, buy a month of service, activate your device, and then cancel the service within a few days and you won't be charged. Of course, this invovles spending a whole lot of time on the phone with Sprint, or going into a Sprint store, which you may not want to do. Don't worry though, there is another option.
I decided I didn't want to go through any hassle, so I spent some time fooling around with the system and came up with the following method. It took me a while to in the application manager to track down the programs responsible for the activation prompt, but I found them. What you need to do is this:
NOTE: I have tested this on the SPRINT Tab with the latest software.
*DO NOT uninstall any of these apps, just "Freeze" them. If you delete any, you may loose the ability to do firmware and Android OS updates!*
1. Root your Tab, (preferably with z4root), I suggest using the "permanent root" option.
2. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> and check "USB Debugging"
3. Install Titanium Backup
4. Run Titanium Backup and go into "Backup/Restore" Look for "Software Update 1.5.0" in the list.
5. Tap the application name.
6. On the window that comes up, select "Freeze" It will give you a confirmation of success and the "Freeze" button will change to "Defrost" now hit the back button.
7. Locate "Sprint Installer 2.0", "Sprint Zone SZ 2.1.11", and "System Updates 1.0.0" Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of these applications.
8. Close Titanium Backup
9. Restart
Now the activation prompt will not come up and it won't interrupt you when using your Tab. It doesn't affect anything if you plan to use the Tab off-contract with Wifi only.
I chose to "Freeze" the apps because it denies them access to the system, which removes the activation problem. I didn't uninstall them, though because if you want to activate it on the network at any time later, or you need to do a Firmware/Android OS update through official channels, you may need these apps.
If you want to undo this at any time, follow the directions the same way, but during step 6 select "Defrost" instead of "Freeze"
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Works great! Thanks for the info.
It´s posible active the phone

Hi there, Do you think is´t posible to liberate the phone?
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Worked GREAT! Thanks!
... but I have a question regarding 2 of the items that are frozen now. like the Software Update 1.5.0 & System Updates 1.0.0 --- are they specific to sprint? what exactly are these for and why do these have to be frozen in order to disable the sprint activation? will i still be able to get firmware updates and all that jazz?
if i want to check for updates, do i need to defrost these?
How to get root app
maybe I'm missing something but how do you get the root app. I.e. to bypass activation you need a root application. However I can't find a way to download apps without the tab being activated. Seems like a paradox. In a nut shell how can I get the z4root application installed when the tab is not yet activated?
Thanks for any help
You can always turn on the WiFi, and connect it to an available network to gain access to the Market.
I too have been struggling with the activation prompt, and since Rooting is still somewhat touchy with our SPH-P100, I've found that the best answer is to put your Tab in Airplane mode, and manually turn on the WiFi. This will keep any options you're unsure of on the back burner 'til the devs here have some more time to save money for, and play with the Tab!

You can find z4root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
I have a Sprint tab, and if you hit cancel on the activation each time you turn the device on, you can still access your home screen and all the apps and enable wifi to access the market.
To permanently bypass activation, side load & install the z4root app from the link above and install Titanum Backup from the market .. follow the instructions posted by rkmj earlier in this thread.

Sorry for taking so long to respond to this, but my XDA notification settings were all screwed up. I just realized that you asked this. Software Update 1.5.0 and System Updates seem to be Samsung apps that are tied directly to Sprint Zone and the activtion prompt. They run periodically and when they activate, they query Sprint Zone to see if the device has been activated on the network. In order to stop the activation prompt, these need to stop running.
I can't really tell about firmware updates just yet. Based on the way Sprint generally provides them, you will have the option of OTA or via PC. With this fix in place, you will need to run the update via the PC. If you wanted to get the firmware updates OTA, you will need to defrost the programs. Unfortunately, you will also have to activate the device.
My method doesn't change anything on the device. It just disables the prompt. In order to receive anything OTA, you will have to activate the device. I have a theory about how you can both disable the prompt and still query for OTA updates, but I have to do a bit of testing first. I will post back here once I have tested it completely.

Here is another potential solution
[/COLOR]Magic of google search update. Found these steps which fixed it for me
From a terminal emulator (on phone), and assuming you have root
type "su" and answer permission dialog from SuperSU or SuperUser
type "mount -o rw,remount /system" -> followed by enter
type "cd /vendor/firmware/keymaster" -> followed by enter
type "chmod 0644 *" -> followed by enter

The major difference is that you have the ROM in zip file and the ROM is deodexed, zipaligned and the /system/app folder has been moved to /data/app and it supports init.d script support.
Majority of the difference is behind the User Interface. In terms of user interface they both look alike.
Have you restored your phone to Factory settings considering your problem?

Flashed your ROM, everything working fine with great speed and also the battery life got improved dramatically. Very nice work.
Yes, I restored to the factory settings but no success, looks like hardware fault. Tried wifix manager app from play store but still the wifi and mobile data disconnect while screen turns off.

Have you tried this?
Goto System Settings > Under Wireless and Networks Tap WLAN > press menu key and tap advanced > Tap Keep WLAN on during sleep and select always.
Now your phone won't disconnect, if this is the case.

Thank you for your suggestion. This is the first thing I have done, but wifi and mobile data sleeps automatically. I have tried stock roms from different devices like saadusmani's ROM and your ROM but nothing improved in wifi and mobile data connection. I should claim warranty.
But before that I need to unroot the phone and change the stock splash screen (screen before boot animation). Do you know how to change the splash screen to stock Qmobile screen?
Restore to stock firmware by downloading it from www.ehtisham.com or www.labandroid.com

If u have installed play-store via Nokia X tools 1.2 then you are familiar with this issue, Play-store gets disconnected after reboot. I have tried several method and this is the easiest. After reboot go to settings/ Time and date, disable automatic time update, advance time for one day. Now open Play-store, if it shows disconnected then press retry. Try to manually close it in recent apps if play-store is opened once after reboot. When play-store is working fine you can turn on automatic time update to fix the time. Hope it helps Press thanks if it helps.

Go to Wipe > Format Data.
Type: yes and confirm with bottom right check icon.
Encryption is removed. You can now access partitions.
### If you miss this step you won't have access to any partition.
Back to home menu > Backup.

Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
Save backup: still under TWRP recovery, connect tablet to PC.
Go to Mount menu and check Data partition is checked and MTB button is on "Disable MTP" state.
From Windows explorer, access tablet's memory and copy-paste the TWRP folder (located in root folder, beside DCIM and Music folders) somewhere safe on your computer.
5) FORMAT PARTITIONS

Back to TWRP home screen, go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
On next launch, check the checkbox to remember choice and swipe to allow modifications.
5) FLASH ROM, GAPPS +/- MAGISK ROOT
Back to TWRP main menu, go to Mount menu again to connect tablet to PC again.
Connect tablet to PC and use Windows explorer to copy files on tablet's internal memory.
Copy TWRP folder from your tablet to somewhere safe on PC.
This backup can restore your tablet to its original Samsung state.
Copy files of ROM + Bitgapps + Magisk on tablet.
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose los*.zip,

then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Again, go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
Optional: After restart, go to Install, select Magisk and swipe to flash.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install
Wait for the tablet to boot.
It will be stuck with LineageOS animation on it's first launch. It is normal.

8) OBTAIN GOOGLE MOBILE SERVICES (GMS) CERTIFICATION
Google now restricts Google Play and Google apps access to certificated devices. Since you have a custom ROM, you are banned.
We now need to subscribe for the Google Play Certification.
Download Device ID (by Evozi) app from Play Store.
Launch app.
Tap on the Google Service Framework (GSF) line, then tap on the COPY button.
In your Android webbrowser, go to: https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
Connect to Google using your Google/Android account.
In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.
Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.
Then go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage > Clear storage
Do I need to re-certify it ?
"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."

I have just followed this to update my T719 tablet. All seems to work other than the camera, when you try to open the camera app it freezes before eventually saying 'unable to connect to camera', then closes. Have tried another camera app but still get the same issue. Is this a known error?
Thanks

Hi @smarty79 , yes camera doesn't work.
I will be more precise about it.
Thx for reporting
Hi,
3G network doesn't work

Do you mean that RIL does not work either (no 4G)?
Are you working on a fix for the camera and mobile network?

Hi, you have to be careful and download ROM according to your model.
EDIT: yes Data and camera are not working.
Sadly you won't find a ROM with these. Or tell me which one.
You may try this Oreo for camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-resurrection-remix-os-6-2-x-discont.3865882/

Only camera is working.
If netowrk is not, you probably have chosen the wrong ROM.

I haven't downloaded any custom ROM yet since I need the Radio Interface Layer funcionality as well as the camera.
I have the T819 (LTE variant) but I would like to have a newer Android version than 7 because some apps are not supported anymore.

LineageOS 16 has RIL working, at least on the T719.
succefully installed. Thnak you !
Tutorial updated for Netflix and Disney+
sorry for this but i failed and i need help
i did every thing until wipe but afterwards my PC unable to see device folders so i can load the files
side note: didn't backup also so stuck on recovery screen
help please!!!
Thanks for this, works exactly as stated...
However I misread it, "### Camera doesn't work, 3G/Data network doesn't work" - I thought oh I don't care about 3G, I'm always connected to LTE without my brain acknowledging that it's all cellular connectivity not just 3G. DOH.
Is there anything available for SM-T817V? Looking desperate help to update Android 10.
Thanks

any particular build? there are multiple versions Thanks
When I boot, I end up back in the TWRP main menu. I've tried:
"Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install" after:
"Then tap on Install > choose los*.zip,
then Add more zips and select opengapps*.zip,"
(advice given in another forum) but it makes no difference: LineageOS animation continued for several minutes, then I get into RECOVERY REBOOT and back to TWRP menu.

Hi @Tetenterre,
first boot leads to bootloop.
Flash > boot > force reboot and wait
Thanks for your reply, djibe89 - when I do that (ie Power & Volume down), I end up back in TWRP.
Installed successfully by following your guide to a T (although I used the latest TWRP). I know support for this old girl has probably reached it's limit, but it was tough to find the ROM file (most links in the thread are dead - had to use one from archive.org)
Thanks a lot for putting this together!

Hi, sorry for that.
Thanks for telling me. It's hard to keep up with all the models I support.
I'll try to fetch all files and backup these on Androidfilehost.
Thx for archive.org, didn't know it.
Enjoy
