Hello,
I continue to try rooting my phone but I don't understand because the process doesn't successfull while Twrp works well and install supersu works fine.
I precise I done the same procedure with Magisk and the result was the same.
After reinstall stock ROM and press " Revoke USB DEBUGGING Authorization" my device was finally recognised by adb.But after installing TWRP this option didn't appear in the settings dev mode.
After flashing supersu.zip I reboot my phone but no icons and no applications on it.With the file manager of Twrp I have a supersu folder with a file Superuser.apk.I tried to install it with adb but not success.
For info I did many attempted with this :
twrp-3.0.3-n2-athene_shreps
twrp-3.0.2-0-athene.img
SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521
Magisk-v17.1
On forums it says to do this but I don't understand explanations very well :
Code:
C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb uninstall eu.chainfire.supersu
/sbin/sh: pm: not found
Did I try with an another recovery?Wich?Or Twrp version?
I 'm very desesperated because I read many docs and It is two weeks I try to root phone and even I have learned I don't see more what the problem is.

Did you know that you can only root the stock rom when you use elemental x kernel?
Not at all.In all the docs I read (xda and stack especially but around the web too) nobody talks about this method.And xda root's tutos are mainly based on twrp and root's app as Magisk and Supersu.But I don't read all posts no more.I 'm going to read docs about elementalx because it seems a good way too.
Does I uninstall TWRP or it is better to keep it ? Or going back to stock rom only?
I also saw that some customised roms are pré-rooted?is it useful for something?So I will try your method.My phone restarts well at each time until now so it seems not damaged for the moment also I can try different methods.Hope it lasts

No problem, but you didn't mention that you have marshmallow
Nevertheless, updating to nougat brings some benefits like security patch update and also other things.
Hello strongst I have a very good news.My phone is finally rooted :victory::victory::victory:
After your post and researchs I said yesterday on my previous post I found a video which explain how to root with elementx (for marshmallow) as you advised me.If it hadn't worked I would try update to Nougat and test with your links.But all was sucessfull and finally Supersu icon appeared on my home screen and works.
But I couldn't install apk manually (I want a maximum open-source phone and workaround Google apps
When I type to my apk to install it "can't open the file" displays.
So I installed root-checker via adb from pc (adb devices + copy your apk in your adb folder + launch cmd or shell + adb install path_to_your_app.apk).It works well.
For those who have the problems I find this :
Some screen dimming apps work by overlaying the whole screen with a translucent window, and letting touch events pass through to the activity below, but for security reasons, you can't interact with system dialogs (such as the package installer) through another activity.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to Settings/Applications.Click on the wheel on the top right-corner (settings) and "overlap with other applications" and disable them all (or the principal but I have few apps for the moment).It works for me.
I finnaly can snatch some rest and my eyes will be gratefull .Thank you again for you advice about elementx because I shouldn't find this video .......in Portugese despite of reading a lot of videos and tuto,post,blog etc....

Nice to read, have a good time

THE ULTIMATE NOOBS GUIDE TO ROOTING
Introduction
Hello there people!
I've always been a fan of helping others out and I thought this guide will be helpful to those who want to get started on rooting their device. I'm making this as sort of an updated thread to @DooMLoRD 's Amazing Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704). I hope that you guys are positive towards this thread and not be ungrateful to the effort I've given to this thread. On another note, please, wait NO, YOU MUST THANK :good::good: the developers in their specific threads as a form of appreciation to their hardwork they've put into creating a more vibrant world for the Android Community! Enough chatter, let's get on with dis! :fingers-crossed:
Disclaimer
By following this guide, you are hereby responsible to anything that happens to your device. By rooting, you are essentially VOIDING your warranty but there is a way to regain your warranty though. If you follow this guide CORRECTLY, I can assure you that 80% of the time, you won't hit into problems.
Rooting
The term "root" in Android is defined as "Unlocking Higher Privelages to your Android Device". Rooting can also be compared to the User Account Controls in Windows PCs. Traditional rooting methods are usually what steers users away from actualy from rooting their device but the newly released app named; "TowelRoot" is an application developed by world-renowned hacker GeoHot which aims to simplify the rooting process to a click of a button. To root the Sony Xperia SP, the TowelRoot Application is able to quickly allow you to root your device in a click. Follow the steps below to root your device in a matter of seconds!
Go to Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources ON to allow us to install third-party apps.
If needed, untick the Verify Application option
Access http://towelroot.com
Tap on the Lambda Sign [The Letter in the middle of the website]
Save the application that is downloaded [Application name: tr.apk ]
Install the TowelRoot Application
Once installation is completed, open the app
Tap on the Make it Ra1n Button and give it a maximum of 2 minutes to excecute the rooting process
Once Finished, the application should say that you are rooted!
If the Installation Fails, your phone will just simply reboot. If it does fail, you might want to turn to DoomLord's Easy Rooting Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329208 or other sources
Install SuperSU by ChainsDD or ChainFire on the Play Store
Open the app and update its binary and you should be completed!
And DONE! It wasn't that complicated right? Although I think we exceeded that few seconds promise, you still got root access now!
BootLoader
There are some Xperia SP's that come with a LOCKED Bootloader. It is highly recommended to unlock your bootloader as it will give you much more opportunities to the Android World. DoomLord has the whole proccess covered in perfect detail so I rather you guys take a look at his amazing guide by clicking on the badass link that redirects to his awesome post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354721
Recovery
The main aim of obtaining a recovery for your device is to have the ability to install Android MODS, ROMS and more on your device. The most trusted Recoveries in Android are; ClockworkMOD, Team Win Recovery Project [TWRP] and PHILZ Touch (A touch version of ClockworkMOD). To get all three recoveries follow the steps below!
Visit this site on your computer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649923
Download the ZIP File
Unzip the file to your most preffered location
Head to the About Phone Section in your Xperia SP Settings
Press on the Build Number multiple times until the notification that says, You are now a developer or You're Already a Developer pops up
Go back to the main page of your settings
Open the Developer Options Tab
Locate the USB Debugging Option and tick it
Click the button on the top right to enable the Developer Options
Go back to the main screen of your Xperia SP (Launcher)
Run the Install.bat file on your computer
Select Option 1 to start the installation process
A notification should pop up on your Xperia SP Screen. Click on Accept to allow the install to continue
Once done, the Installer should notify you that the installation is complete
How to access a Recovery
It is important to get used to used to using a Recovery as it will reduce the chance of you running into problems. Your phone should now have 3 recoveries but we'll use the most trusted recovery which is the ClockworkMOD Recovery. To access the recovery follow this steps:
Turn on your device
Upon showing the SONY Logo, press and hold the Camera Button until a set of lights appear
If done correctly, you should be able to access CWM Recovery
Installing a Custom ROM
A Custom ROM is a custom-made android developed by Developers around the world. It is important to follow the steps shown by the Developer to install the Custom ROM to your device. If not, you can start saying goodbye to your Android as it will get what is known as a soft-brick. Every person has their own preffered custom ROMs that they use be it VANIR; a ROM based off pure Android, CyanogenMOD; a ROM based off its own system modifications and even your own Sony ROMs being made better! Take a look at this list at the thread below to find your own custom ROMs .Be sure to follow the instructions given by the Developer! It is also recommended that you look at the thread closely to see if there are any bugs and also required specifications before installing the ROM of your choice.

Android Kernels
An Android Kernel is the 'Software' that your hardware looks to to get functions working. Android Kernels for the Xperia SP are bound to the Android System/ROM that you have installed on your phone. Some Custom ROMs have their own Kernel built into them so again, look closely at the instructions on their specific thread. The links below will redirect you to the Kernels that are made available for the Xperia SP
Kernel for Stock Sony Firmware:

Installing MODS
Android Firmware generally gets shipped with bugs and issues that are mainly caused by phone manafacturers so it is wise to install MODs that help to improve your Android Experience even further. The list below shows you one of the most effective and great MODs that work on the Xperia SP. Check em' out mate! Follow the instructions to install the MODS to your device!

Backing Up your device
Sometimes we run into trouble so we will usually back up our devices either by the Cloud or by using a storage device. The most common way of backing up your device is by backing up a 'system image' of your device by using the application called NanDroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup). Once installed, backup your device to your preferred storage device but we recommend backing it up to our good old SD Cards. Another way to backup your device is by creating a flashable zip of what YOU want to be backed up. This can be done through an all new application known as ZIPme by the famous (I think? ) JMRummyApps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zip.me). Choose what you want to be backed up with the app and store it in your SD Card.
Recovering your device
Its perfectly normal to soft-brick your device now and then but it is important to know how to recover your device from it! Here are 2 methods to recovering your poor Xperia SP to its original state(s).
1. By Recovery
So if you still have the custom recoveries installed on your device, you can simply use the backups that you made from the applications in the 'Backing Up your device section'. To use the backup to good use, make your way to the the Recovery of your device and follow the instructions below:
Factory Reset your device by clicking on the wipe data option on the menu
After wiping your device, go back to the main page by hitting the GO BACK button on the sceen
Hit the 'Install ZIp' option
Press Choose zip from SDCard1
Locate your NanDroid Backup
Hit Install and let the phone do its thing
Once completed, reboot device and you should have android back! If not, follow the next method to recover your device
1. By Flashtool
Flashtool is a utility that is able to flash (install) STOCK SONY Firmware to your device without a lot of hassle. Follow the steps below to get your ass more known to flashtool! :silly:
Download Flashtool to your computer here: http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
Once installed, download and install the drivers from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830
If you're running on the useless (just kidding) Windows 8/8.1, follow the steps on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...bootloader-t2153261/post38878089#post38878089
Download your country-specific FTF (Firmware) File from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
Launch the Flashtool Utility
Click on the Lightning Button (Install Button)
Click the FlashMode Option
Locate your downloaded Firmware by pressing the button with the 3dots on the top right hand corner of the window
Select the Firmware
Click Flash
Follow the On-screen instructions after that
Reboot Device
Wait for maximum of 10minutes for rebuilding of system files
The Stock Android should pop-up and you can repeat all of the steps mentioned above to reroot your device!
Warranty Recovery
Preparing your device to obtain worthy of the warranty you got with your device means following the steps in the 'Recovering Your Device' and flashing the Stock SONY Firmware via flashtool. To Lock your bootloader again, follow the steps provided by AndroidTeen.com (Just a random site I found that helped me lock my bootloader ) http://androidteen.com/sony-xperia-sp-how-to-relock-bootloader/
Further Assistance
The Xperia SP community is full of derps people. If you ever run into any problems and such, please do post a informative thread that includes all the information you can provide and your help question in THIS forum section. It is also recommended to ask your question in the specific thread of your problem (eg. Installing a recovery problems and enquiries should be posted on its specific thread).

Exactly what I was thinking.
For a device that's over a year old, it's quite normal that all the above has already been covered.
Anyway, it's not a bad idea to put all this "basic" information in one thread but I suggest you to post links to the individual threads.
That way people know where to post in case of questions or problems.

I've only just worked this out myself and was going back to update my post...did a search and that's how I found your question.
I've had so much trouble with this... either, you couldn't get root using SuperSU.zip through TWRP (there's another thread on this)... because you'd get stuck in a bootloop and my "solution" was to flash CF-Auto-Root again... without realizing that CF-Auto-Root wipes to stock recovery XD. Through this, though I lost my phone re-set up and TWRP.... I saw that there was a dm-verity error which I don't understand but know there is a patch.... and maybe that's why people were getting bootloops? I'm really not an expert at all. I just try until something works.
SO, you could just first try flashing TWRP for J3lte from the link I provided and then the latest SuperSU and see if that works now.....(earlier versions did not) if it doesn't work and you get stuck in a bootloop then flash CF-Auto-Root (available at: https://download.chainfire.eu/986/C...3lteusc-j3lteusc-smj320r4.zip?retrieve_file=1) and start again. I PERSONALLY only had success without a bootloop ONCE I added the dm-verity patch to my install procedure:
The TWRP that will work for the J320ZN is j3lte: https://dl.twrp.me/j3lte/
I used the latest version twrp-3.2.1-0-j3lte.img.
If you need in-depth help look for a tutorial or quote me and I'll respond & try walk you through it. I know that model J320YZ uses the same TWRP and there is a tutorial on XDA for the basics.....
Once TWRP is installed and you've booted into TWRP recovery and you've formatted, Install SuperSU.zip through the "Install" button on TWRP. You must have SuperSU.zip on your external SD card (click "Select Storage" to select it).
https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip
I used v.2.82 SR5
Finally, BEFORE REBOOTING, I installed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip using the same TWRP "Install" button method - which was also on my external SD card
https://androidfilebox.com/miscellaneous/dm-verity-and-forced-encryption-disabler/
Then you can reboot, and set up your phone. Xposed works. If you already ran the fixes using Apps2SD to fix security measures that prevntd Link2SD from creating mountscripts, that stays fixed after all of this.
BACK UP YOUR PHONE FIRST 'cos you'll have to reset it all up again. Samsung Smart Switch (on your PC) helps, as will Titanium Backup.
Now.... as I said I'm not an expert. I don't understand why things are the way they are. Nor am I responsible if the dm-verity wasn't needed, which is why maybe you should just try TWRP then latest SuperSU first. BUT for me, I had bootloop and needed the 3rd step of dm-verity patch.
As for Custom ROMS... I have no real interest in those, so that's something you'll have to experiment with yourself, or ask someone else
IMPORTANT: I thought I'd better add that once you've got TWRP and root installed... and want to install Xposed, you cannot use the official version for Android 5.1.1. It will not work on our Samsung Touchwiz Stock ROMS. You can either install a custom ROM first, or you will have to use the Unofficial version by wanam that will work on device.
Here's a tutorial: https://www.tricksfolks.com/install-xposed-framework-samsung-lollipop-marshmallow/
Make sure to select from the download links the file for 5.1.1 and our hardware is arm so download that file, not arm64 version or x86 version. Should be xposed-v87.1-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam.zip
Also note, I had some issues with the Xposed Installer (apk) - latest one 3.2. Didn't want to register the wanam framework that I flashed in TWRP. So, I rolled back to 3.1.5 and that works OK. You'll have a big red warning telling you not to update THEIR framework... but ignore that and just go to Downloads and install away.
The article I linked above with the tutorial and download links has an earlier version of the Xposed Installer so you could try that if you can't find v.3.1.5. Just don't use v.3.2
ALSO ANYBODY PLEASE UPDATE ME IF YOU GOT TWRP AND ROOT WITH OR WITHOUT DM-VERITY PATCH. I'd like to know so I can learn more about this stuff. Still a novice.
Annnnnd I just realized you were the one that PMed me a few weeks ago to get me working on this and that you'd broken your phone hehehehe.
Well, I'm just updating it on all the J320ZN threads now for future folk.

I've got enough knowledge to be able to install lineageOS onto my crappy moto e & get that working ok but I'm still on the steep learning curve.
If you can, please provide a step-by-step guide to do this? I know you've said most of what needs to happen in your posts, but when I see "Once TWRP is installed and you've booted into TWRP recovery and you've formatted,..." I'm wondering what should get formatted, what shouldn't, etc
Warm regards
I have successfully booted the rr 7.1.2 rom from 4pda on my device every thing seems very well except in performance its much slower than the stuck firmware , also i have check the antutu score and it get lower by 10k points , i have check the gpu with another app and the working percent was stuck at 0%
So if any one could help fixing the hwc , kernel , hw coding and decoding,, it will make the device fly again

I have been trying to get this room to work but failed everytime, because of the encryption.
Everytime I get decryption successful but something went wrong. As far as I understand the encryption should be disabled on this ROM completely, but I can't get it done. I tried reformatting data to ext4 but that didn't work.
Edit: The problem was that I was using Magisk as root solution. I tried with the provided SuperSU and it all worked.
My device runs well with rr. I only notice the performance issue on startup, right after but the phone is very slow.
I noticed that there is no swap memory use in this ROM, while in stock there was a deal memory partition.
I'll try to figure out if we can enable it in this ROM. That might improve performance.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but im desperate. Im trying to root mt MYA L22 but can't seem to find the right instructions. Posted here two times but no one is replying. Could you tell me how you unlocked bootloader on your phone? I already have the code from Huawei website. I am stuck at the cmd prompt when i type "list adb devices" from a cmd prompt opened through the adb and fastboot folder that ive downloaded. It says adb devices attached but shows nothing after that, basically an empty list. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure which post you saw, but I think my post on there were with an other device and yes, I have never bricked a device unrecoverable (yet).
That said, you will always be taking a risk when rooting or trying custom ROMS.
Then again if you never take risks you won't get anywhere. The question is how much are you willing to risk. In this case are you willing to risk your phone for the extra possibilities you might get when rooting it
First think you need to do before modifying anything is learning how to backup and restore.

Thanks JudgeDread. Yes, I've rooted several phones in my life time. I understand the risk, but I tend to research about that particular rooting method with my phone before going ahead and doing it. I feel like the rooting method for my phone is particularly more risky, not because of what I read but rather from what info I am NOT able to find. Did you have a Huwaei Y5 2017 MYA l22 that you rooted successfully without issues? Can you point me to the instructions? That thread is a bit confusing.

Yes exact same model, rooted and after several tries custom ROM.
I unlocked using the official method and then flashed TWRP in the recovery partition.
The difficulty was to get back into TWRP after rebooting. So I would advice to immediately install a root solution. I used Magisk. While root works without problem Magisk modules will only work if you use the f2fs workaround.
I am now running Resurrection remix (Android 7.1.2) without many issues. Only every now and then a forced close of the system UI.
It took some time to get it running. Because I used a different root solution the provided on the same page as the ROM. So on install use the provided SuperSU. After install you can change of you want.
Also the patches are needed. I still have bad videos on YouTube but haven't looked into the issue much yet.
hi , good news for Huawei y5 2017(MYA-L22) users.
Download latest lineage14.
visit to my blog.

Thanks again for replying. Unfortunately though, 80 percent of what you just said flew over my head
I am not an expert but I can follow instructions! Any step by step guide on how to root it? So far I've gotten the unlock code from Huawei. I downloaded the ADB and fast boot folder and launched from that folder the cmd prompt. I type in "list of ADB deviced" and below comes an empty list. Please share what you did.

For rooting you need unlocked bootloader ( if you don't do ir then below won't work).
1)download the 4pda app from google play store and register an account .
2) download the TWRP.img file from 4pda website here is the link
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=823938&view=findpost&p=74424572
3) enable developer mode in your phone by going to setting about phone , tap 6 times on the build number.
4)go to developer mode and enable usb debugging and oem factory unlock .
5) go to your pc install adb here link https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
6) now conect the phone to the pc and run cmd , type adb reboot bootloader . (Your device ahould restart and enter bootloader mode (white screen)).
7) now take the TWRP.img (must be copyied to desktop ) and type in cmd cd desktop.
8) type fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (change the file name to TWRP ).
9) type fastboot reboot.
Now you have successfully install TWRP on your device.

I have rooted countless phones accross all different manufacturers but never found one as stupid to root as this phone!
There isn't an up to date thread about rooting the phone so I thought I'd share how I did it and got through various things that were not supposed to happen but did!
Firstly, unlocking the Bootloader - as Huwai don't provide a code anymore, I went down the https://www.dc-unlocker.com/ route. It is cheap at £4 and they take PayPal. The unlock code video is out of date which didn't help and I presse3d the wrong button first and got a unlock network code by mistake, so had to pay another £4 to do it again. I used this tool (minimal adb) from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790) to put the code in the phone but noticed that my phone wouldn't keep the USB Debugging active and had to slide it on each time I connected to the computer (even had to revoke the computer at one point and reconnect).
From an unlocked bootloader the biggest problem I had was finding a way to put TWRP on the phone. All the threads I could see contained the wrong code to flash and so it always failed. However Dru79 showed the correct form which was to connect in fastboot then use minimal adb (on windows 10, open from the start menu, not left shict right click and 'open window here') and use " fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP-3.2.3-0-Hi6250-Askuccio-v1.0.img " - the correct TWRP is here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8.../recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-huawei-hi6250-t3859959)
HOWEVER - my phone would not keep TWRP and more often (over 75% of the time) would boot to stock recovery, SO after I flashed the TWRP I typed in "fastboot reboot" and as I pressed ENTER, I took the power cord out from the phone and used the volume UP and the Power key to get into TWRP. I don't know why my phone wouldn't keep TWRP but it didn't.
Getting root through SuperSU was IMPOSSIBLE no matter how I tried, eventually I downloaded Magisk from (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/) and flashed it through TWRP.
Once rooted, I downloaded the PixyOS from https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/rom-pixysos-huawei-hi6250-t3852152 and flashed it...perfect!
Hope this helps someone.
The funny thing is, I actually wanted to post a thread about it in General Section as I had the same frustration as you whole trying to root and install custom ROM on this phone (I've done countless Root's, flashes, unlocking before on couple of phones) and just couldn't find a thread that explains this properly.
Anyway since you already done this, this should be moved to General Section so people can see this properly.
I've flashed Pixy's OS on my phone about 4 weeks ago and just one thing you didn't mention is that if you're on 7.1 nougat then you need to upgrade to Oreo and then install TWRP (I found that out when I tried getting it on nougat and then got errors while flashing and realised the TWRP was developed to work on Oreo). Just get a stock image of Oreo and flash it, the link for it it's somewhere around in the forum, I think it's some kind of Russian website but works well.
Anyway great job, if we can just ask Mod to move this to General section so that this guide can aid new users in rooting their phones properly and efficiently so that they can minimize their changes of encountering errors (as me and OP did).

I have asked
Hi,
I have a SM-T380, and I tried to root it using magisk, It patched the boot.img file and I flashed it via odin, but for some odd reason when I open Magisk it says installed N/A.
I have the latest security patch (T380DXS4CUD3) (Android 9) and I already tried using the preserve AVB / preserve force encryption options.
I was wondering, there's no way to root this device on Android 9?I'm just trying out of fun since the tablet was laying around there.
any suggestions really appreciate it,
Waiting for someone to shed some light in to this matter. I tried all the possible procedure I found on google, but no luck.

If your still interested in rooting this device go to @Austcool post it worked for me.
custom-sm-t380-sm-t385-boot
Edit: 2022 I have tested it it fully works as of this year!!!. 😁 disclaimer, I am in no way responsible for this kernel screwing up you tablet so use at your own risk. to flash it simply open up settings enable developer options and enable OEM...

Its Defex use my boot.img it's related to Samsungs new Defex anti root privileges security feature you must build the kernel from source; I already built Defex disabled kernel Prerooted with magisk.
Thank you, I already installed a Custom Rom ( I think it was made by you) using the January 2020 Security Patch, I think the latest software update is also a security patch so is redundant.
My question is, is it possible that you can provide me a .zip with the original Samsung Galaxy Boot Logo animations from this tablet? the Rom has custom ones and it didn't had a backup of the originals, I need the:
bootup.qmg
bootloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
also if you have the original PowerOn.ogg and ShutDown.ogg I would really appreciate it. Thanks for replying this old threat it really means a lot.

Was this my Oreo rom I cannot seem to find the download for it do you mind sharing the download link I was trying to grab some files from the old Oreo rom but I couldn't find it. Also I can get you the pie copys of the bootup.qmg and the bootloop.qmg shutdown.qmg but the files called PowerOn.ogg and ShutDown.ogg don't exist by default on the SM-T380 they are custom added by me you can ether add your own bootsounds files or remove them to boot without a poweron/shutdown sound.

allanseth23 wrote that "this worked," but what did? You follow that link and there are six files, I tried it out and the following screens which I've never seen before showed up (see attached images)

I think that's the most frustrating part, the piecemeal information from posters regarding this device--I don't think I've ever waded in an XDA thread that was this broken before (it also doesn't help that all the Tab A models are pushed together into one subforum).
To be clear I'm running the very last software update for this device (AP T380DXS4CUD3) for SM-T380, device is OEM unlocked.
I just want the version rooted, I don't need any TWRP backups that contain additional mods.

I am piggy backing too because you are someone recently (last week) were messing with this thing too...
I was given a SM-T380 and am trying to make it "useful"
So far I have had fine luck with both oreo and pie (using the build you mentioned T380DXS4CUD3 via twrp restore... and it is fine, but seems slower than I recalled 8.1 being...
Anyway, I have been flashing the v19.0 of magisk (and a v7.1 of magisk manager) and then flashed v21.4 (and v8.x of manager).
Anyway, if you install a newer magisk manager it will show the device as unrooted (N/A) but updating further seems like I would need to extract the boot.img from the twrp backup (which is above my head...) and patch it with newer magisk...
I am not sure that it's needed for what I will be using the tablet for.. but I haven't had luck with safetynet (using magiskhide props) so I am looking into other methods.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I sould go back to oreo 8.1 or not just because pie 9 seems sluggish in comparison..
Anyway, I am going to tinker with it in my spare time over the next few days, so if you want to connect about anything particular I am around.
