Hello,
I am pretty much a noob at this, only successfully done a one custom rom and twrp install before on a google nexus a long time ago. But pretty much after getting really confused as what I can do with it.
I just bought this tablet about a week ago from a Best Buy. Its a 2019 model without the sim-card port, so it is wifi only.
The model number is sm-t510nzkaxac. Its an ok model, but there are a few things I am not happy with about it and I was wondering if anything could be done to fix it.
It doesn't have Android 10. Only 9. And having a little bit of knowledge about software and what not I have to wonder if some of the issue I am facing are related to this. Some of the apps are not usable and others there is no sound or other issues that do not occur on other devices with different android versions. Crashes and app hangs frequently.
Android 10 seems to work best(with another samsung tablet [sm-t307u]), naturally, so I wanted to see if its possible to update to this firmware somehow.
Please explain everything, as I said I am a noob.
Thank you.
I should also mention that I use Linux. Debian 9. If this is an issue...

I'm assuming it was a typo and you are actually talking about an SM-T510 and not T501. If that is the case, Samsung has yet to update the T510 to Android 10. There are custom Android 10 ROMs but not stock. So if any of the apps that came with the tablet aren't working, then there must be a defect. If you have installed additional apps, designed for Android 10, then they might have problems. But anything designed for Android 8 or 9 should work.
Yes thank you, it is the T510, just a typo.
I understand that Samsung has yet to update this device to android 10, which is kind of disappointing. But issues I am facing with some apps are with this model with currently has android 9. As I said before the newer device, and SM-T307u (2020) does have android 10. Also I've heard that Knox Security could pose a problem.
Basically I wanted to test to see if this is the issue with the T510. I've gotten as far as unlocking the boot loader, but beyond here I am confused. Probably because I am a linux user trying to figure out a way to do this without a windows computer for the odin software. What I have found so far, heimdall, doesnt work at all. I am guessing if I cannot get TWRP or any other roms on the tablet, I cannot get this to work?
I hate being a linux user for this reason, lol. Everything is made for windoze!
And yes the apps in question are ones added after market.
Anyways thanks for the response, cheers!

My T720 just got 10 also. But that is to be expected. The more expensive models always get the updates first. It has been known for months that the T510 wouldn't get 10 until Sept. I've been a Linux user for 20 yrs but I keep a cheap Windows box just for situations like this. However, there have been others who have used Heimdall to install custom ROMs on the T510. Do a search in the threads for T510 custom ROMs for Heimdall and see what others have done.:fingers-crossed:

Well I guess I need to find a cheap windoze computer someplace... Lucky I can usually find one at the recycle depot for nothing. Probably a good idea, though, Lol thanks. As for android 10, I might just wait until Sept. for the official update, dunno yet. Depends on what happens I guess.

I'm actually not finding anything with the T510 or heimdall in search, is it similar to other models for the procedures?
Tried some things here and just not getting heimdall to work. Tried to recompress twrp-3.4 and use that with heimdall, but it now complains that its missing the firmware.xml file.

The only problem with waiting till sept is that that was the schedual prior to covid. Can't be sure they'll hold to it.
Yes, covid... well lets hope that most of the development can be done at home and samsung employee are not actually working at the office I guess.
Latest firmware is android 10 now, got released a few days ago.

I'm pretty new to the Android phones. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet about a year ago, and I absolutely love it -- which was the only reason why I considered an Android phone when it came time to upgrade. That might have been a mistake.
The phone I chose was a Galaxy S5 from AT&T.
For many reasons I won't go into (and that many of you probably know) Kitkat is awful. Removing SD card access removed one of the most important reasons that I bought the phone. So, I decided to root the thing.
I read a bunch of info on how to root, and, eventually downloaded and tried to use towelroot only to discover that AT&T/Google have blocked all functionality of that program. My build is, unfortunately, the latest build -- July 22 2014 (or there abouts).
Now, I'm not sure if the phone was given to me with that update -- I only got the thing on Sunday. Maybe it was, maybe not. Dunno. So I have a couple of questions.
If I were to factory reset the phone, would that roll back these "Security" OTA updates that were pushed onto the phone? I'm pretty sure there was at least one after I got the thing. I've spent a fair amount of time setting the phone up, but I'll do it again if a factory reset would allow me to root the phone and return the SD card functions.
Is there a way to push an earlier version of the ROM onto the phone. I'm guessing not, since I think I read that AT&T helpfully locked the bootloader.
Finally, does anyone know of any way to root this device if neither of the two paths I presented above will work?
Thanks for any help. If I can't restore the SD card functionality, I'll probably just return the phone. That would be a bummer because I was really excited about it.

I see that there are tutes here, and am wading through the 50+ pages of forum posts to find what I need. However, my worry is that none of this stuff will work because of the new firmware. Here is all the info that I have on my phone:
Galaxy S5 AT&T US version (SAMSUNG-SM-900A)
Android 4.4.2
kernel version 3.4.0-2178781 [email protected] #1 Tuesday July 22
Build # KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3
SE for Android Status
Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_4.4.2_0018 Tuesday July 22
Security Software version:
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 1
Thanks all the pertinent info, I think.
Because the update was so new, I don't think there's a way to root this anymore. People keep telling me to use ODIN and to download an earlier ROM (and I now have ODIN and an earlier ROM -- hopefully from a good source, but I have no idea if it is), but my impression is that this latest AT&T "security" update keeps you from reflashing the ROM because of the bootloader lockout.
Any further help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
As I told you, the only method working for me (because of towelroot non working) is cf auto root.
Check periodicaly here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to see if your model is listed.
I had just a look and it's not listed yet.
If it is, flash by odin and look if root works.
If not, you've got to flash by odin the same rom again (keep your original file on pc), you'll loose nothing, and report this fails on chainfire to test other solution.
Good luck

Not only build number and kernel version, you need to check your Bootloader version with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (in the FIRMWARE INFO section).
Bootloader version is one of the important info to check when you are going to root or flashing custom rom.

Hey that looks like a great utility. Thanks! The bootloader is G900AUCU2ANG3
Does that help any? People keep telling me I need to use ODIN and flash this, that or the other thing. Those comments would probably be more helpful if I knew more about this stuff, but my reading has lead me to believe that ODIN won't work with certain version of the bootloader. Or is that wrong?

I've been trying to find a rom that is compatible with 4.2.2 MGA, but most of the well known roms out there are for 4.4 upwards. I don't want to upgrade from 4.2.2, so the question is: are there any roms still for 4.2.2 MGA?
Did you check the Android development forums for your particular model of S4? That's the only way you'll get an Android 4.2.2 ROM, and it will take a fair amount of digging to find one, plus it will never get updates. Nobody develops for an old version of Android when a newer version is available.
I did, but I couldn't find any, and as you said, it takes a LOT of digging to find something. I was hoping a dev would have kept old files from their roms from that time. The threads I mentioned that either paid no attention, or allowed me to assume they had deleted their older versions.

Just a personal peeve of mine. I consciously choose to stay as far away from any kind of official update, when it comes to any kind of devices. Did the update for a family member's samsung galaxy tab 4 to the its latest update, saw it, hated it, and it only stengthened my decision to keep my galaxy s4 in its original rom. Like I said, I was hoping some of the devs would have kept some of their old rom files somewhere, but I guess none exists.
I guess you'll not be running Windows 10 anytime soon.
Hi there, first post on the site, so "Hi"
I have a Samsung Tab S2 (SM-T710) this is running Lillopod 5.0.2
Is it possible to upgrade this into Oreo? if so, is it a case of root it, then odin flash it? Are there any helpful guides / tips?
Thanks

Suggest you use Odin to flash stock Nougat first and give that a go. It's pretty good and I've felt no reason to root just to get Oreo.

Thanks for the reply.
Is that the Samsung wrapped Nougat or the raw version..... I am hoping to get away from some of the Samsung bloat..
In your current Lollipop, the mixture of Samsung Bloat and a bad version of Android, (5.0.2 was a car crash.) makes it an awful experience.
In Android 6 & 7, Samsung have really reduced the bloat and the underlying OS, is significantly better. If you install stock and spend half an hour cleaning the bloat, its a really consistent experience on the S2 and I've not experienced any slowdown. :victory:
When thinking about root and Oreo, just remember this hardware is getting old now and wasn't exactly fast 3 years ago. Battery life on the 8" version isn't great due to its small size. As Samsung have been good at providing security updates, I really can't see enough gains in the whole rooting experience. :angel:
Many thanks for your help........ I will take the simple route via odin. I will see how I get along
Hello....!
I am sorry for my bad English skills
I am using Samsung Note 4 Sprint Android 6.0.1.
It's very bad and doesn't have a fingerprint. I need to go back to an earlier version.
I've used "Odin" and "Z3X SamsungTool, COMBINATION". All failed.
I downloaded Firmware at website sammobile.com.
Please Help me...!
If you were on the n910PVP5DQ15 firmware then the sboot is fused5, binary 4 and can not be downgraded. That is most likely the reason you have a fail in Odin. The following links will provide further information and guidance. If you have questions ask then in this post, good luck

Well I hope you don't ruin it. lol The Note 4 is concerned by many as "the last develop friendly phone". The Last Spirit update (5DQ15) has made it not so friendly. Prior to loosing my phone, I was on Lollipop
4COK1 with the ultimate Note 5 hybrid (MORA) rom as my daily driver. I could flash back and forth form lollipop to Marshmallow and choose many different custom roms. However, I seldom used MM because I didnt like the layout of the OS. Hated the mock location that force an app and Google maps in Samsung settings (BIG TIME, Yea how moke is it if it connected to Google maps?). While on lollipop just set mock location and done. Furthermore, the permission settings in MM are scattered in different sections that not only adds completely in navigation but confusion as to what the F is this? All the while stating udate for you security. My security or there's? Well, no use crying over spilled milk as they say.
Being locked to 5DQ15 firmware was a new experience. Now years later, I found myself unfamiliar with the Note 4 5DQ15. The first thing I noticed was n910p xda forum was "where did everybody go" ? Next thing I noticed is all the bricked devices and fails in Odin when downgrading the 5DQ15. Thats when I decided the safest choice to begin with was the
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no.../rom-15nov2017-stock-ish-plustidbits-t3705395
Being with installing TWRP followed by rebooting the phone. Then I rebooted back to TWRP and made a backup of all the partitions to external sd. Afterwards, I flash the custom rom. I was very pleased it had completely with xposed firmware and models. Although its really a great rom, I still missed my old customizations in 5.0 roms.
Reading threw the forums at that time provided very little to go by and the information posted by members seemed to conflict. Some said you you can on 6.0 rom and others saying the opposite. All the while lioking to purchase another n910p with a lower bootloader which lead me to visual prof of custom roms on 6.0 are compatible (maybe). I still needed to flash to be 100% sure. (screen shots in next post).
I also felt like you "Its an inexpensive device and Im going to take a risk".

The warranty company assumes all responsibility.
It is difficult to find someone with hobby of editing phone software.
Now just to be perfectly clean, I am in no way suggesting that anyone purchase a pre rooted device. Never
WARNING
To all , You never know what has been installed hidden within the system when purchasing a pre-rooted phone.
If thats not enough, consider the developer of the rom that has put in all the work, cheated out of there donations.

Please LMK if anything else is needed.
The upgrade was done a few days ago. I searched the net for stock firmware but couldn't identify for sure if any I found would work with my specific model. I readily admit to not having the knowledge to start experimenting first and begging for help after I've blown it up, or bricked it . I'll just skip to the begging. And I'm usually pretty good at following directions when they're in basic layman's terms.
TIA for any assistance and/or guidance offered and please accept my attempts at humor in the nature they're intended. :silly:
Hello, I'm thinking about downgrading my s5e to use Linux on Dex as my tablet came with Android 10 which doesn't work with it.
If you're still in need of these instructions, I can record my steps for you when I attempt the downgrade.

So is this possible? Also, are you saying tablets that originally shipped with Android 9 are now shipping with android 10 instead??? Wtf I don't want android 10!
I don't mind unlocking my bootloader as soon as I get my tablet, but I really need android 9 and not 10. Would you mind telling me how to downgrade?

Did you ever do the downgrade? You mind sharing the details of how you did it for a noob?
