Hi,
1. If somebody experience this issue with lack of netwrok after Nougat full Rom update, like:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71063185&postcount=121
than follow this fix from another thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71054990&postcount=1456
for me it all seems to work fine now.
2. If somebody has issues with MiFlash, I think it is actually better to do the flash within first 5-10, after that it gives strange errors. If so, restrt EDL and press flash on MiFlash a bit faster .
Regards
I failed to boot nougat using these steps:
Boot to edl.
Flashed using miflash full b15 file and then b15 twrp file.
Flashed in twrp a2017 N modem.
Then it gets stuck at 5 secs screen and phone just reboots back to edl. Am i doing it wrong?
However it boots to nougat if only flashing just the b15 full.
Hi,
I had stock B13 Chinese. I MiFlahed fastboot_unlock packge,
did fastboot oem unlock,
MiFlashed B15 twrp,
copied NON-HLOS.bin file from Chinese modem(link above) into extracted B15 Full package folder(which replaced exsiting file in there) ,
reset dalvik etc.from twrp,
flashed B15 full which included already new modem file,
I let it boot finally till the end into standard mode.
This way I don't even have twrp now and all works fine.
Regards

Hi, what you mean you don't have twrp? Is it possible to install it somehow again? Is it possible to install SuperSU then? I'm asking this because I want to install A2017U B15 firmware (with OTA support) on A2017 (Chinese model with B13, stock recovery and locked bootloader) and just want to be sure in everything before I start Many thanks!

Hi,
If you MiFlash B15 Full package it overwrites recovery partition...it is a full package after all. If you want TWRP on your nougat after that you need to Miflsh the B15 TWRP package. However inside the TWRP package, there is also modem driver file which you need to first replace with the new modem file, same as with B15 FULL package.
It is al soooo simple. I had some issues with MiFlash initially, as I read somewhere to "keep the vol up down, power fo 5 sec, release, wait 5seconds and than flash"
However I had near 100% success rate when I did press the flash button around 2-5 seconds after booting into EDL mode. Once you do oem unlock, the process is simple as burning ISO image on a CD
I have it now without that last step. It is unlocked, but without TWRP. I did however MiFlashed TWRP yesterday and it did work fine than as well. I don't however think I need TWRP anymore. I did Dalvik etc. reset during upgrading to Nougat... and that's all I needed it for. Maybe I'm wrong and I will MiFlash it again some day, but honestly, this was first time I flashed any Android phone as I come from Nokia- Windows Phone and all I wanted is working Daydream, Netflix VR for my long business flights. It works now. The rest I might need I will install from play store.
It does have that message about unlocked bootloader when you boot the phone, but it does not bother me and I read somewhere that it is better not to relock he phone.
How do I even know if it's OTA capable? When I checked updates, it says your phone is up to date.
Regards
Ok, now is everything much more clear to me, thank you!
Please help fellow china version users... @RubiCom
I have flashed b15 and the updated modem for china but my signal is still unusable. It keeps restarting the sim and when I go to sim settings, "com.android.phone" crashes. Some other settings related to calls/sim also crashes.
my sim is working fine when I'm on LOS. I really just want to use stock system since audio isn't fully fixed with LOS.
BTW, i'm already BL unlocked since b13. Do I still have to flash b15 twrp? I mean I could just fastboot flash twrp after installing full b15. Is there something special miflashing the b15 twrp package?

I follow all the steps in original thread and after all everything works (at least for me) . But, it was a little bit complicated to make it work
So, first after unlocking I installed B15 TWRP, then entered into TWRP and deleted cache, dalvik, etc.. After that I put my phone into EDL again and flashed B15 original (I didn't boot phone to OS between flashing ROM's at all). But, on boot B15 original I still had some chinese symbols and I couldn't finish setup (phone stuck at google account setup). So, I repeated this three steps (installation of B15 TWRP, wiping everything in TWRP and installation of B15 original) again. This time I've got "android encrypted" or some similar message on boot B15 original(??!!), but after reboot everything was completely normal (except message that bootloader is unlocked, which is normal). I don't have TWRP, but 2G/3G/4G signal is great on both SIM's without lose and I have official updates. Comparing with chinese MM, this Nougat is far more better and faster, like I have a new phone

I figured out what's wrong my my setup but still I can't find a way to fix this.
It seems that when I use my original sim cards (2 sims with the same provider), they both get disconnected every second.
When I put another sim from another provider, it does work but still my original sim doesn't get signal. even when changing slots.
I'm really confused how to make them work together.

That's weird. I'm also using SIM's from same providers, but without any problems.. Don't know what to tell, maybe you can try install B15 TWRP and wipe everything, then install B15 original and try again.. First time I also had some weird problems...

this is actually wierd. I had this problem my my sims. And I had flashed this many times already trying out different methods including miflash and even stock flashable zips from draken. all yields to the same results.
Do you have any idea where to tweak carrier settings from system files? i tried *#*#4636*#*# but still fails.
Unfortunately I don't know it. I guess I had plenty of luck flashing these ROM's, considering how many people have problems..
The final steps to Remove "Vendor ROM" that does not have the Update Option in Settings Or Unbrick Le Max 2 or simply Update Le Max 2 to latest EUI.
NOTE: This method should address the following weird problems:
1. Le Max 2 TWRP Seeing 0MB in Internal Storage. Unable to access the ROM Storage
2. Encrypt Option Greyed Out In Settings-->Fingerprint and Security
2. Update Option missing in Settings.
3. Fingerprint Sensor not working... If it still gives trouble... Calibrate the FP Sensor in its settings. Or register the same fingerprint multiple times.
This method should work on ALL versions of Le Max 2 including X820 X829 X821
Before starting... Remove ALL USB peripherals that might interfere with the process. Use USB Ports on the PC/Laptop... DO NOT use USB Hubs... Even if the phone appears dead... Connect it Power Outlet and let it charge for an hour.
1. Download the latest Stable EUI... from LeEco Website Directly .
2. Download the FlashOne v1.9 And Service ROM From HERE.
UPDATE: FlashOne v2.0 has been released! Here's the LINK.. It is a bit more advanced and offers the ability to format User Data for a Cleaner Flash
3. Download Qualcomm Drivers
4. Put Le Max 2 in EDL (Emergency Download Mode) by pressing Volume +, Volume - and Power Button Simultaneously. For those having difficulty..... Here are few tips.
Connect the Phone to PC. If the phone is Switched/Powered On... Then Power Off the phone and Switch Back On with the Key Combinations.
OR
If the Phone is Switched Off... Then Use the Key Combination to put the phone in EDL Mode..
In either case..... the PC will make a sound of Disconnection and Reconnection of an USB peripheral. AND you will see Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 Driver Installation. To verify the same... go to Device Manager in Win 7 / Win 10 and Under Ports (Com & LPT)... you should see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX).. The XX corresponds to a particular COM Port. Remember this port.
5. Once the Le Max 2 is in Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 EDL Mode... Start the FlashOne Software.
6. Choose “Qualcomm – flash dead phone” from the drop down menu next to “Flash type”.
7. Click “Refresh button” next to “Select Device”. Here your Le Max 2 will show up but in COM Number (ComXX)
8. Browse for our Qfil/service ROM by clicking “Select File”.... You can technically select the Latest EUI ROM... But it is safer with Service ROM. DO NOT Unzip the ROM File.
9. After everything is set up under “Settings”, Press “Flash” button.
10. Installation can take anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes. Have Patience.
There are chances that the Flashing might fail. In case it does... Simply put the phone in EDL Mode again... and restart the procedure.
11. After the FlashOne confirms successful flash... Wait for 15 - 20 seconds. Then Power On the phone by pressing the Power Button for at least 60 seconds. Do Not Panic due to the long press.. Press it until the phone vibrates.
12. The Le Max 2 should be in Developer Version of EUI with an unlocked Bootloader and STOCK recovery.
13. The Developer ROM has the “Format Virtual SD card” setting in Settings Menu--> Backup/Reset--> Factory Reset.. Use the setting to get back the 50+GB
[You can also use the option Format Data in TWRP Recovery instead and the partition will 64GB correctly instead of 10 GB initially. Read ahead for the procedure]
14. Once you have a working Le Max 2... there are two directions:
Install Latest Stable EUI ROM... with Update Option
OR Install TWRP Recovery / ROOT / Custom ROM
15. a. For those who wish to install Stock ROM... Simply rename it to "update" (DO NOT Add .zip... Else the file will look like update.zip.zip) and place the update.zip file in ROOT of the phone. Thereafter Switch Off the Phone... Enter Recovery by pressing Volume + and Power Button... Choose Update System AND the other setting to Clear All Data. Your Le Max 2 should update without any error.
15. b. For those who want TWRP and ROOT:
* Download the latest TWRP (For Le Max 2) and SuperSU from their respective websites. Download and Install ADB and Fastboot From HERE.
* Copy the SuperSU Zip File to the ROOT of the Phone.
* Unzip and Rename the TWRP recovery to Recovery (The file should be Recovery.img.... NOT Recovery.img.img)
* Put the Le Max 2 into Fastboot Mode By Pressing Volume - and Power Button
* Go to the ADB Install Folder and Press Shift & Right Click to get & select “Open command window here“. Confirm Fastboot is working by Entering Command: Fastboot Devices.. You should see a random string of letters followed by the word Fastboot. If you do not see the same..... the installation didn't complete successfully.
* In the Command Window.. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
* Enter the following Command: fastboot boot recovery.img
* Once the Phone has entered the Recovery... Flash the SuperSU Zip file and you will have ROOT capabilities.
* Take FULL Backup of your device and then install ANY Custom ROM.
Do let me know your results.
[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file. This method is for people who could not update through the Stock Recovery and received Errors.
After QFil/flashone my lemax2 still bootloops. I've tried flashing other roms via recovery but it reboots mid installation.
Any advice?
Try Another QFil / Service ROM

My advice is try another Qfil. These files are quite large and hence the one you downloaded might have some corruption.

Hi, the link to the Leeco website is down...is there any alternative for downloading the latest stable EUI?
I downloaded the 23s from another website, renamed "update" but when I try to update via recovery it fails, cause: corrupted.
Any suggestion on this?
Thanks a lot in advance

You may try to use twrp to flash it, you downloaded version is a twrp backup version...
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm trying to get back to stock for other phone issues... So I wanted to avoid to install twrp, if possible.
Any link to a stock rom that can be updated via stock recovery?
You know I just going to blame Android 7.0 Nougat any chance we can have a CyanogenMod 13 6.01 based foxfi friendly ROM ?

I used the 23s from this link: https://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_max2.html
I flashed it from an indian rom. It will change your bootloader to chinese, though (not really an issue). And your recovery too, I guess (don't panic, it's bilingual). It will also update /firmware, and that should help with many issues.
However, there's no need to flash TWRP in order to use it: you can just boot it ( fastboot boot TWRPname.img).
At the last step, my indian rom is not getting flashed. Saying corrupted!!. Yesterday I updated with the same (rom) file from the system updater when I did not root the device.
"[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file.

Following these steps got the same error.
Edit: I am pretty much sure the developer chinese rom has the issue. It does not let you update with the Indian rom. Pretty bad.
Did anyone succeed to flash the indian rom the phone came with, or any indian rom from these chinese developer rom?

I do have problem (see the post right above). Any Ideas?
Ok so, I did as shown in the topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/flash-eui-rom-fastboot-t3525831
download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)
boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!)
upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)
install rom
reboot
And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*
Really big thanks to ThE_MarD for his help!
HI, i hv the same problem likes yours with split screen.
Possible to share the steps how you manage to solved it.
Update:
Hi, I just managed to resolved it.
Download the given recovery 19S and save it on a USB drive.
Run twrp and press button wipe as our screen is reversed.
Then look for the file at external drive USB.
Just install it and once it is done..... the screen will return to normal

Hi.
Yes. After "QFIL", i also didn't update my device from DEV ROM with any Stock ROM (Indian or Chinese versions) by "upgrade.zip" without get the "corrupted file" error. So by TWRP, i installed 16S Indian Stock ROM -- TWRP informed that i have "no OS installed" but i proceeded and restarted from TRWP. It initialized the new ROM, and after the first setup, i restarted the device to complete any system operations after the first boot, and i updated the device with the Indian 19S with the EUI updater ( tapped "upgrade.zip" file). The device now have the stock recovery and boot in english (not chinese), and the EUI in all languages available on "India 19S Stock ROM".
Stock ROMS:
Le Max 2 All Official Stock Firmware links
Best regards.

Hey bro, I have the same problem. What twrp you used? When I try to install 16s indian twrp gives an error "Patching system image..." for too much long time, so it stop to install it.
This is totally CLEAN and Typically ENGLISH (OFFICIAL) version that means no chinees APPS no issue.
Donot forget to make a backup before starting.
Steps to Follow: (FOR TWRP installed user)
1. Download 20s OTA file from here.
2. Download 21s OTA file from here. (Donot Download this ZIP file as i got an OTA update of 21S after installing 20s)
3. Goto TWRP recovery.
4. Formate everything. (Cashe, Delvik, Sysytem,Data)
5. Flash the 20s Rom (Provided in STEP 1)
6. After Installing and setting up phone, You are ready to GO BACK to official stock recovery.
Steps to Follow: (FOR already on stock recovery users)
7. Download the 21s recovery (provided in step # 2)
8. change the name to update.zip
9. put it into the root folder.
10. Goto stock updater and slect MANUAL UPDATE from 3dots on top.
11. This is will install the recovery 21s.
12. DONE
Note: you can not install 21s directly on custom recovery as it will give error 7

Sooooo I have a slight problem.
I have TWRP and stock ROM. Sort of. Xtreme Addiction ROM, only one that would work and not give the error"This is an s2 not s2_na_Xxxx" so I Flashed that, and uninstalled root, now in TWRP it doesn't show my internal storage so I can't flash this ROM, and ask for a password. So I tried using the 3dot option from settings and it won't work either, it'll just boot to TWRP and nothing happens. I'm really not looking forward to deleting everything... AGAIN but I will if I have to.
Is there an update for the Le s3 x522 that can be installed though the phone update app? I am still running stock recovery and don't want to change it but it seems the OTA updates not working

I think we might be having the same problem...
My X527 came with 16s as the stock ROM.
Upgraded to 19s with TWRP which gives me the system update option as well as OTA (which says I'm running the latest version).
I want to update to 21s and use the system update method..
Phone starts to load the new update (renamed to "update.zip") progress bar at the bottom of the screen while all of this takes place.
Phone reboots into password screen for TWRP, swipe to continue, then select system reboot and once it's back up and running it is still on 19s...?
Did you get your update resolved?

I did, I used this website. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....factory-image-5-8-020s-directly-t3527790/amp/
Downloaded Chinese TWRP from there. As well as that ROM, if you have the 21s update file, I'm sure you can get it working with that TWRP. Hopefully it works for you.

What worked for me was replacing TWRP with the factory recovery and I'm good to go.
There was talk of an official update (beyond 21s) in December but so for, no sign of that...

Interesting, replacing stock Recovery didn't work for me when I did it, and yeah. It's most likely not coming soon due to financial issues LeEco has.

I note that this says it's the ROM for the S3.
I'm using the X527 which is the S2 with the Snapdragon chip (now listed as X526 after installing 21s), did you perhaps flash the incorrect ROM?
I had continual problems upgrading from 19s with TWRP - it would go through the whole process and then reboot to 19s..
Even after the replacement of the stock recovery, the first ROM I downloaded (21s) was not accepted. Had to download another one for it to finally work.
Could be a bad download?
Contact
How did you contact leeco and get this. I need all future updates. My phone is rooted and I am unable to completely unroot it and get OTAs.

Is there an update for the Le s3 x522 that can be installed though the phone update app? I am still running stock recovery and don't want to change it but it seems the OTA updates not working

If you don't have TWRP or anything installed, it should work fine if you put the 20s update in the root folder (the folder with the android and download folders). Then just go to system update, press menu, press local update, go through prompts and it should update automatically. Then just repeat the process for the 21s update. If you have twrp installed, I'm pretty sure the chinese ydss version doesn't allow OTA installs. This update requires stock recovery installed because it updates through the recovery. You can find stock recovery images on google (search le s3 stock recovery and click skyneel) or, someone might have posted a recovery image on the le 2 forum. Plz reply if it doesn't work, it worked for me tho.
Is there any bugs? If yes please list. Thank you
does it work for le s3 X626 mtk?
if not, please guide me as I see that this forum support Le S3.
thanks.
Hello all
I installed the latest T585XXU4CRJ8 Oreo 8.1 update over Nougat 7 on the SM-T585. (BTU / UK)
Everything went well using Odin and the Oreo stock rom from the Updato website.
Cleared the cache and factory reset from recovery mode as normal practice. Booted up ok.
The problem is the device doesn't recognise the network sim card anymore (worked perfectly on Marshmallow & Nougat).
I've tried factory reset a few times, no difference.
Removed and reinserted the sim, even tried another sim.
Having checked 'about tablet > software details' , carrier is unknown and the IMEI has dissapeared !
I've tried to reinstall Nougat 7 and Marshmallow 6 back on the SM-T585 and Odin fails every time.
Tried 2 computers and 3 different usb cables.
Even trying to reinstall Oreo 8.1 again Odin fails!
Theres no frp lock activated, and the oem unlock tab is checked, usb debugging enabled too.
I've read somewhere Samsung have done something to Oreos BootLoader file to stop people downgrading back to earlier software.
I know its early days, but if anyone can offer any solutions, it'd be appreciated.:good:
How to change the BL file version, so i can reinstall earlier stock roms back?
The Oreo update seems more hassle than its worth and I didnt expect the sim card to be unrecognised once updated, let alone being faced with the puzzle of how to downgrade the software.
Thanks for reading. :good:
I think the problem was I used all four files (AP, BL,CP & CSC) from the Netherlands rom and that's whats screwed the device up!
As in no SIM card acknowledgement. I ran the IMEI number off the rear casing through a blacklist checking site and it came back clean.
After many attempts trying every Odin program variant possible and even tried mixing and matching files from different stock roms ( MM 6.0.1 , N7 and Oreo 8.1). To try and get the network carrier file installed, Odin refused to install anything.

https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016.html
Tried the above routes to root to no avail, but Magisk worked by patching the boot.img file (which worked ok). Then tried Odin to install TWRP recovery, again from the site above, nothing but blue and fuzzy lines on the boot screen. The device wouldn't boot into the OS, had to go straight to download mode. Prior to that, I even installed the TWRP manager apk and connected to wifi to flash the TWRP.img from inside the OS environment and the same happened again with all variants of TWRP! Wouldn't boot, properly, no screen visuals, but lines......
Surely someone else on here has the same device (BTU UK) SM T585 that has a working TWRP recovery?
After many hours, I couldn't get Odin to play ball , so the only option left was to try the route of root, twrp recovery then installing a custom rom from twrp.
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-ultra-lean-rom-galaxy-tab-10-1-2016-t3467942)
But it's a no go as TWRP wouldn't install properly, I'm totally miffed by the damage the software has done.
Surely just reflashing the CP file should have reinstated the network facility, but it hasn't.
The last resort is for me to wait until Samsung actually release the UK version of Oreo 8.1 and see if I can get the sim card working again.
Moral of the story is wait until a UK version of the update is released, and even then you have to question is it worth it, if Samsung are making bootloader files so no downgrades are possible, nor allowing any modifications.
Hopefully this info may help others out who are thinking of upgrading or having similar issues.
Cheers for reading

I had the same problem, went from Lineage 14.1 to Oreo stock rom (the flashable one you can find on this site, i flashed also the Bootloader/modem file in the thread). No imei, no baseband. Returned back to lineage and got back imei and baseband, but after my screen was going to sleep (after the regular 1 min) I had only black screen and vertical red lines. I flashed then Resurrection Remix 6.2, Lineage 15, Lineage 16, always the same problem. Then I used Odin and the original firmware of Nougat from SamMobile, at the first attempt i flashed only the AP file. I turned to have the same problem, but this time the lines were white. I flashed all the 4 files again with Odin, problem solved and back to Lineage 14.1 (the only custom rom were everything works)

What version of TWRP have you installed for the T585 and from what site?
Also what root method did you use?
I have tried all available and all seem corrupt i.e don't install properly, no proper boot up with onscreen options. Just fuzzy lines.
Again root i've tried many, but don't work with this Oreo 8.1., even Magisk is problematic.
I think its pretty sad of Samsung sending out poor quality updates for us to use. Their heading the same way as Apple and the way they control customers.
If I could go back to a custom MM or Nougat, I would. But TWRP / ROOT are an issue. i.e no TWRP no custom rom!
If anyones thinking of updating and reading this topic, stay clear of the Oreo 8.1 update for the SM T585. Once installed theres no turning back.....so it seems
Thanks for replying.

just flash the nougat firmware from SamMobile. You have to flash all the 4 files in the zip you are going to download. AP, CSC, etc. Once you have your tablet completely stock you can install again TWRP and flash whatever CUSTOM rom you want.
I easily rooted the phone with odin flashing only the TWRP in AP box (twrp taken from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78145080&postcount=160) avoid the auto-reboot. You have to put the tab in DL mode, connect it to pc, start odin flash the twrp in AP file e unselect Auto-reboot. As soon as the process is done you have to log in recovery mode at the first boot with home + power + vol up and flash dm-verity. I rooted with Magisk without any problem just flashing the v17.3. Now i' m back to nougat (from Oreo) and i can install whatever custom rom i want. But honestly the only one fully working is Lineage 14.1. Resurrection remix 6.2 has problem with camera and gps don't lock. Same for Oreo version. Tried Pie, same problem.
Domenico F
Thanks for the info.
I tried to install MM 6.01 & Nougat 7 stock rom and they wouldn't install, no matter what I did. ( see Odin pictures )
The last chance was to try Oreo 8.1 again and I did manage to reflash the 'Netherlands stock Oreo 8.1 rom' (after 10 hours!) using all four files (AP,BL,CP,CSC).
I then reset the device a couple of times via stock recovery. Took the OEM lock off, theres no FRP lock either. Enabled developer mode > debug mode (all the usual setting changes prior to rooting / twrp install).
At this point the imei and sim card network ARE recognised and work on the device as normal.
HOWEVER I found once I rooted by any genuine means > Magisk v16 (patched boot img taken from stock rom) and also the CF gtaxlltex sm t585 auto root method.
And when the device booted back up, the 'imei and sim card' WERE NOT usable, nor recognised, no network...........I also noticed BusyBox wouldn't install at all, message about integrity of root.
Adaway and Lucky Patcher recognised root.
I also then tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.0 -3.2.3.0 from many locations and again, none of them worked at all. Just blue lines, fuzzy screen etc. On some occasions Odin wouldn't even process the files.
I include pictures of the files I used.
Its evident to me that I can use the device normally i.e sim card , make calls, data etc if I don't attempt to install root / twrp recovery.
So no root , no twrp , then no custom rom usable or installable. It sounds like Samsung are out to stop custom software on their products.
If the Netherlands stock rom 'BL' (boot loader) file is encrypted with this new binary v3 or v4 to stop OS modifications. I wouldn't recommend using it when flashing the new Oreo 8.1 rom or future new releases.
The best way is to just use the AP file ONLY and overlap Nougat 7 or MM 6. And because you've kept your original BL from earlier stock roms, it may be possible to downgrade back to MM or Nougat if need be.
Once the latest new Oreo / Pie 'BL files' are used in the Odin flashing process, it causes big problems.
Hopefully, maybe someone smart enough can find away to decipher these new BL files and offer a replacement method. which will allow software downgrades and modifications

Honestly i think this run for Oreo it's not really worth. I said you what I did and now i have no problems. I'm not in hurry to use Oreo (as stock rom). I think Lineage 14.1 is the most stable and fastest rom i tried till now, and most of all everything is working. I think i'll give a try via Odin to the official stock rom when it will be available for download (i live in Germany) but sadly I don't use most of the Samsung bloatware installed by default.
WRP Oreo 8.1 on Galaxy Tab 10.1 (T585)
Then I've tried
twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-t585_29918 which gives only stripes when booting into recovery
Do I have to flash the stock boot/recovery before flashing this one,
or this is broken, as well.
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
Hope this helps.
So, as I was trying to search for my Galaxy Tab A6 (SM-T585) for Deodexed Stock ROM, I stumbled upon this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/themes/mod-twrp-odin-t3650215 just follow the instructions to fully flash Oreo. By the way when flashing Root, I would recommend Magisk Beta https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
it does not damage the IMEI at all(Thread here, read the comment:https: //forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) . The TWRP, I think we should leave it be, don't flash an update for the TWRP.
Thanks. Hope this helps.

Neither does a custom recovery, so not sure what your point is?
I mean if your having problems using MAGISK use the beta version
Hi i've spent all of yesterday evening trying to piece together what to do from a bunch of threads and websites but really struggling.
I hope someone is willing to help me.
last year i successfully installed Oreo B01. I followed some random guides off Reddit and somehow after a lot of trouble and false starts, got it working.
I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.2.1-6 'by NFound', and updated to B01.
The TWRP version is weird, for some reason some of the buttons in 'advanced' section look like its in russian writing, and If i go to Advanced>More>Root and try and flash either Magisk or SuperSU, it doesn't work.
It says 'Error updating zip file '/rootdev/unmagisk.zip' and i cannot root the phone.
I want to install the latest B04 update OR even try Lineage OS 16, Or the Pixel experience ROM, or any other ROM.
Ideally i just want to install a Pie based ROM.
However I am nervous because it looks like you have to have the right bootloader to install the right things, or the right versions of TWRP to install certain things, and it is all very confusing.
Everyone on here seems to have about 10 different ways of doing things and i'm getting really lost in every single thread I read. Use EDL mode, No need to use EDL. Use the toolkit, Don't use the toolkit, use command prompt and fastboot, But my fastboot is broken, what fastboot do i need, etc..etc.etc............my brain is melting.
Can someone please explain which version of TWRP do i need to install any of the above?
Can i just install a new version fo TWRP and it will overwrite previous?
Can I install B04 or any another ROM from the same TWRP version or do i need different TWRPs/Bootloaders for different things?
EDIT: I also appear to have a broken fastboot - I have the same problem this guy has, first post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/help-fastboot-mode-missing-t3844466
so i'm worried if i try and flash a new TWRP it'll mess everything up because its not right the way it is now - even though i can get into recovery, i can't get into fastboot???
Then i'm even more confused - about all this 'use EDL' .......i don' thave an EDL cable, do i really need to buy one and install stuff in these modes?
