Hello,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-s7-edge-rom-v1-1-t3356699
This ROM looks great !!! I managed strictly following the steps below to install the rom on my S7 Edge once. Later I wanted to reflash the ROM to change things in AROMA. Since it is impossible for me to go beyond the boot Samsung screen (every time I wait more than 30 minutes, it seems blocked and the phone becomes hot). Since I tried doing all the steps again thinking to reflash the CP and BL, TWRP, and disable encryption of /data partition etc but I still have the same problem.
During the installation of the ROM, I tried several setups, with or without root, with differents kernels etc, nothing works, the installation goes smoothly. It's just that the phone remains locked at startup ("Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, POWERED BY android").
I have Odin 3.10.7 and 3.12.3, TWRP 3.0.2-3hero2lte, BL_G935FXXU1BPH6 and CP_G935FXXUBPH1 and no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.
I also tried flashing stock rom and then Superman and fail again.
Could someone help me ?
Thank you.
(I just didn't do the step with CSC because it's seems to be optional)
1. Start your phone, go to settings, about device, software info and hit build.number around 10 times so developer options will show up
2. Open developer options and tick: OEM unlock
3. Shut your phone off
4. You now need a computer, download odin3.10.11
5. Download two files, first is bootloader and second modem: bootloader and modem
6. Boot your phone into download mode by pressing: home+volume down+ power on
7. Open the downloaded odin on your windows pc and click on BL tab and add the file that name begins with BL, same for CP tab
8. After this, reboot to download mode again
9. Install TWRP (latest one is needed to support new BL's) will be next step, for this, follow all steps provided in this forum: TWRP Thread (booting into download mode: press home+volume down+power on, booting into download mode press: home+volume up+power on)
10. when you got TWRP working: We need to disable encryption, for this you should boot into recovery mode (as described above)
11. Flash this on your phone
12. After flashing this, hit wipe, full wipe (this will clean all internal memory and your data will be lost!!)
13. you can test if encryption is still enabled, if TWRP shows error about not mounting /data your phone is still encrpyted
14. Now you can download the rom onto your PC and then transfer it via usb to your phone
15. It is rom installing time install the rom!
16. After successfully installing the rom hit reboot and you are good to go!
17. If you want you can use my csc selection to get your desired csc, if you want that you can grab it here: CSC Selection V1.6

1. Go Into TWRP Recovery Mode By Holding Volume Up, Home & Power and Flash Lineage 14.1 June Version through TWRP after an ADVANCED Wipe of Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, and Data
2. Unlock Developer Tools by Clicking Build
4. Activate USB Debugging
5. Download G530TUVU2AQD1_G530TTMB2AQD1_G530TUVU2AQD1_HOME.tar.md5 or any .md5 file of G530TUVU2AQD1
6. Download CF-Auto-Root-gprimeltetmo-gprimeltetmo-smg530t
7. Install Odin 3.10.6 that comes in the CF Auto Root Zip
8. Open Odin 3.10.6 Run As Administrator
9. Put Phone In Download Mode by Powering Off and Holding Volume Down, Power Button and Home button
10. Enter Download Mode by Pressing Up to Continue
11. Click AP in Odin 3.10.6 and Open The G530TUVU2AQD1 .md5 file
12. Click Start in Odin
13. WAIT FOR ODIN TO UPLOAD THE FILE, IT IS NOT FROZEN, IT IS CHECKING THE MD5
14. After it says Leave CS, Click Start Again
15. WAIT FOR ODIN TO FINISH, IT IS NOT FROZEN, CHECK THE GREEN STATUS BAR AT THE TOP LEFT
16. Let Odin Finish and Let Your Phone Reboot As Many Times As it Needs
17. Go back Into Recovery Mode By Holding Volume Up, Home, Power and Clear the Cache and Factory Reset
18. Reboot
After you finish setup, your device should trigger a software update at some point that will update your 5.1.1 to the newest build which is AQE3 released in June 2017. I chose to root after getting this update.
19. To Root, Go back into download mode and Click AP in Odin and click on the CF-Auto-Root-gprimeltetmo-gprimeltetmo-smg530t.tar.md5 file and let Odin do the rest, you will see text on your phone screen as it completes the Rooting process.

Hello :3 i performed the same steps but it just keeps corrupting my stock/current rom after i flash twrp. Some people face this same problem... What they can do is they can flash back the original samsung rom without the stock recovery, so then the twrp one will be there.

you need to uncheck reboot option from odin, After Pass success message on odin remove cable from your phone then press volume down + home + power off when black screen appears immediately manually boot it to twrp by pressing volume up + Home + Power on and you boot to twrp.

Big thanks to dzkouba!!! W/o your report I'd have probably given up because at the time of trying out your solution I've already spent 20+ hours trying to install TWRP on my SM-C9000 (Hong Kong).
For what it's worth, here are the things you will need to do in order to install TWRP on your SM-C9000:
Unlock the bootloader
Enable "OEM Unlock", which can only be done in version 7 (Nougat) or earlier Miracle Box didn't work for me.
Flash a TWRP version that's tailored for SM-C900F (as dzkouba suggested)
So here are my experiences with rooting the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) with S Pen (SM-P205)
First of all i am not responsible for any damages or data loss of your devices. So be aware that you could brick your device!
I tested this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with SPEN LTE SM-205. The procedure should be the same for the SM-P200 as this procedure is a general Samsug procedure for 2019 Devices.
But since i dont have one. I cant test this.
As no twrp recovery exists for this device be very carefull!
Before you begin make a backup of your internal storage as it gets deleted several times during this procedure!!!!
Therefore it could be handy to also use a sdcard(wont get deleted) for copying files to/from the device.
But it can also be done without. This howto is based on the magisk manual from topjohnwu.
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html (Samsung System-as-root Section)
Tools needed:
Firmware of your device
Odin3_v3.13.1 Link thanks to Life Companion
Magisk Manager Link thanks to topjohnwu
Samfirm (deprecated but works) Link thanks to zxz0O0
1. Do a software update to the newest version of the firmware.
At the time writing this is P205DXU2ASH2 for my Samsung Galaxy Tab A with SPen LTE (SM-P205)
2. Find out what firmware your device is using and also what's is the region / CSC of your device.
To do that go to settings/About Tablet/Software Information/
Baseband version:
e.g. P205DXU2ASH2
Next Step scroll down to "Service providewr SW ver." and look at your CSC in the last line:
eg. XME/XME/XME -> CSC is XME (Malaysia)
3. Now its time to download the correspondending firnmware for your device. Use SamFirm Tool to download your firmware (Check "Auto". Type in your Model (SM-P205 and your CSC) and download or download it
from the usual Samsung Firmware Download Pages
(eg. SamMobile.com etc)
4. Unzip the downloaded Firwmare with 7zip
5. You will now have 5 Files beginning with their names: AP,BL,CP,CSC and HOME_CSC
These are ODIN flashable files.
6. Download and install the current magisk manager to our device. Also copy the AP File to your devices internal memory or sdcard. Best method for copying is using adb.
Start magisk and click on install. Press a second time install and choose "Select and Patch a File" Choose your copied AP file. Magisk will now patch the image and inject itself.
The patched file can now be found in your Download directory of your internal memory. Its name is magisk_patched.tar. Copy it over to your PC. Again best method is using adb for copying.
7. Bootloader Unlocking:
Quote from the magisk documentation from topjohnwu:
"
Unlocking Bootloader
Normally I wouldn’t provide instructions for this, but since things had changed drastically from previous Samsung devices, and there are some caveats, I figure this would be helpful.
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot your device to download mode. Either use adb reboot download, or use the key combo for your device.
"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download Mode Key Combo: Vol + and Vol -
"
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
Just when you think the bootloader is unlocked, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper, meaning the bootloader will reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we are installing Magisk. Connect the device to internet in the setup!
Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out! The VaultKeeper service will unleash the bootloader after it confirms that the user has the OEM unlocking option
enabled.
Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode.
"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Next step will be flashing the patched image to your device. We will use 3 of the files from the original stock firmware files you downloaded except for the AP File.
But first click on Options and disable Auto Reboot! After that click on BL and choose correspondending File beginning with BL from the unziped original stock firmwarefiles you downloaded.
For the AP file we will choose the patched magisk image magisk_patched.tar we copied over from our device. For CP and CSC choose the CP and HOME_CSC files. USERDATA will not be used.
9. So now its time to flash your device. First connect the device to the PC. Without connection it will not get into download mode. Boot your device in download mode by first turning it off.
Turn it on by pressing the power button and if it turns on immediately press Vol + and Vol - after relasing the power button and hold it until you see the Download Mode Screen.
If you dont't get it try the fellowing: Turn on the device with power button. Hold Vol - and Power and wait about 7 secs until the display turn black. Imidiantly press Vol Vol + and Vol - and hold until you see the download mode
screen. Press Vol+ to activate Download Mode.
Back in Odin its now time to flash your device.
Press all finger and begin flashing by pressing "Start".
The flash process is finshed as you see the a green "Pass" in the left upper corner.
10. As of now you have to boot into recovery everytime to start your device into a rooted system. Be aware of this and avoid booting the device without pressing the key combination for the recovery. This must be
done everytime you turn it on or after every reboot of the device. If you forget this the device will boot into a non rooted system and samsungs security could make your device unusuable and you
have to flash the device again and losing all data.
So now press Vol - and Power for about 7 secs to reboot the device. Immediately press Vol + and Power. Hold it and wait until you see the stock recovery. It will
possibly show Ereasing data and reboot after that. Press again Vol + and Power and hold it until you will now see the recovery menu. Select Wipe data/factory reset with the Vol + and Vol - Buttons and confirm
with the power button.
After that reboot the device and press the recovery key combo again but now release it shortly after you see the Samsung Logo a second time. Wait until it is booted and do the initial
setup. Install Magisk Manager again.
When you start it it should show a message that it should have to do some further setups and will reboot the device.
Confirm that and wait until it reboots as you now have to press the key combo for booting
into recovery again. Release it as the Samsung Logo comes up a second time. So you see. This is a important step pressing this key combo.
11. So after the reboot your device should now be rooted. Check that by starting magisk manager.
Again this tutorial is based on the magisk documentation. So all credits go to topjohnwu.

Any update yet?
Thank you for the directions! I was able to root my SM-P200 (Korean Version). I did have to do step 7 (Unlock Bootloader) before step 6 (Patching the AP file with Magisk) for it to flash properly.
Mine stuck at "Download Mode" once flashed T_T
I followed all your steps but mine got stuck on "download mode" once flashed and restarted..How to solve it?
What option do i need to tick or untick during injecting magisk (i ticked all 3s including "recovery mode")? and during flashing with odin (i ticked only F. Reset Time)...
Can you share your "magisked" version of ap.tar?
i'm also using xme lte version of sm-p205...
Resolved
Thanks, solved the problem...All i did is extracting the .tar and recompress it using 7zip...Just ensure the compress one is in the same setup...and the 2nd screen of samsung (powered bt knoxx, same with the 1st screen,release the recovery key immediately once 2nd screen popped up) is the one after the "warning of boatloader with power symbol at the bottom" not the "samsung" only logo...Thanks people..Appreciate the post...
This is great - thanks
Bit of a shame we have to reboot via recovery or else risk loosing all our data. Any way around this? I suppose we would need TWRP for this device to flash RMM zip. And TWRP is probably unlikely considering this is a relatively uncommon device
Edit:
In accidentally starting without going via recovery it would seem I've now got KG prenormal. Can't flash the magisk patched AP. Only stock. So that's back where I am. Anyone have any advice on how I can root now? seems now to be undoable

Hi,
do you still see the oem unlock in delevoper settings? Normaly you have to put in a sim card, turn on mobile data and wait for 7 days until you can retry rooting.
flushb
P.S: I already compiled a kernel that boots but i dont think i am able to build a working twrp recovery because i am not a developer. Samsung did finaly release the current kernel sources.
P.P.S: I have made a magisk dual speaker module if someone is in need i can upload it.

Thanks for that - I think I'll just have to wait a little while. I'm using the wifi version so no sim for me. can still unlock bootloader ok, just can't flash magisk patched tar.
Well done on the kernel, hopefully TWRP appears for this device, it's a great little tablet.
I tried to have a go building TWRP using this guide (https://github.com/TwrpBuilder/twrpbuilder_tree_generator/wiki). But had some errors in compiling, though I'm not a developer so I'm not too sure about solving them. But when I've got time and motivation I'd love to learn more about development!
Halp
Mine got failed and its stuck on recovery.img Pls some help me via team viewer (

The reason you get a bootloop is because even though the bootloader is unlocked and you've rooted the tablet, all of Samsung's security stuff is still enabled, so when you go tampering with the /system partition, it triggers the security and ultimately results in a bootloop. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to disable Samsung's security measures without a custom recovery, and even then you have to flash a NoKnox script to disable Knox, a multi-disabler to disable all of the other stuff, and then a custom kernel to completely wipe all of it out. Root is a good first step, but we are far from finished with this device. I'm currently working on TWRP, but from there who knows?

Therefore it could be handy to also use a sdcard(wont get deleted) for copying files to/from the device.
But it can also be done without. This howto is based on the magisk manual from topjohnwu.
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html (Samsung System-as-root Section)
Tools needed:
Firmware of your device
Odin3_v3.13.1 Link thanks to Life Companion
Magisk Manager Link thanks to topjohnwu
Samfirm (deprecated but works) Link thanks to zxz0O0
1. Do a software update to the newest version of the firmware.
At the time writing this is P205DXU2ASH2 for my Samsung Galaxy Tab A with SPen LTE (SM-P205)
2. Find out what firmware your device is using and also what's is the region / CSC of your device.
To do that go to settings/About Tablet/Software Information/
Baseband version:
e.g. P205DXU2ASH2
Next Step scroll down to "Service providewr SW ver." and look at your CSC in the last line:
eg. XME/XME/XME -> CSC is XME (Malaysia)
3. Now its time to download the correspondending firnmware for your device. Use SamFirm Tool to download your firmware (Check "Auto". Type in your Model (SM-P205 and your CSC) and download or download it
from the usual Samsung Firmware Download Pages
(eg. SamMobile.com etc)
4. Unzip the downloaded Firwmare with 7zip
5. You will now have 5 Files beginning with their names: AP,BL,CP,CSC and HOME_CSC
These are ODIN flashable files.
6. Download and install the current magisk manager to our device. Also copy the AP File to your devices internal memory or sdcard. Best method for copying is using adb.
Start magisk and click on install. Press a second time install and choose "Select and Patch a File" Choose your copied AP file. Magisk will now patch the image and inject itself.
The patched file can now be found in your Download directory of your internal memory. Its name is magisk_patched.tar. Copy it over to your PC. Again best method is using adb for copying.
7. Bootloader Unlocking:
Quote from the magisk documentation from topjohnwu:
Download Mode Key Combo: Vol + and Vol -
8. Next step will be flashing the patched image to your device. We will use 3 of the files from the original stock firmware files you downloaded except for the AP File.
But first click on Options and disable Auto Reboot! After that click on BL and choose correspondending File beginning with BL from the unziped original stock firmwarefiles you downloaded.
For the AP file we will choose the patched magisk image magisk_patched.tar we copied over from our device. For CP and CSC choose the CP and HOME_CSC files. USERDATA will not be used.
9. So now its time to flash your device. First connect the device to the PC. Without connection it will not get into download mode. Boot your device in download mode by first turning it off.
Turn it on by pressing the power button and if it turns on immediately press Vol + and Vol - after relasing the power button and hold it until you see the Download Mode Screen.
If you dont't get it try the fellowing: Turn on the device with power button. Hold Vol - and Power and wait about 7 secs until the display turn black. Imidiantly press Vol Vol + and Vol - and hold until you see the download mode
screen. Press Vol+ to activate Download Mode.
Back in Odin its now time to flash your device.
Press all finger and begin flashing by pressing "Start".
The flash process is finshed as you see the a green "Pass" in the left upper corner.
10. As of now you have to boot into recovery everytime to start your device into a rooted system. Be aware of this and avoid booting the device without pressing the key combination for the recovery. This must be
done everytime you turn it on or after every reboot of the device. If you forget this the device will boot into a non rooted system and samsungs security could make your device unusuable and you
have to flash the device again and losing all data.
So now press Vol - and Power for about 7 secs to reboot the device. Immediately press Vol + and Power. Hold it and wait until you see the stock recovery. It will
possibly show Ereasing data and reboot after that. Press again Vol + and Power and hold it until you will now see the recovery menu. Select Wipe data/factory reset with the Vol + and Vol - Buttons and confirm
with the power button.
After that reboot the device and press the recovery key combo again but now release it shortly after you see the Samsung Logo a second time. Wait until it is booted and do the initial
setup. Install Magisk Manager again.
When you start it it should show a message that it should have to do some further setups and will reboot the device.
Confirm that and wait until it reboots as you now have to press the key combo for booting
into recovery again. Release it as the Samsung Logo comes up a second time. So you see. This is a important step pressing this key combo.
11. So after the reboot your device should now be rooted. Check that by starting magisk manager.
Again this tutorial is based on the magisk documentation. So all credits go to topjohnwu.

Magisk requires renewal, is it okay if it's updated ??
Does bootloop not occur ??
I am looking forward for a twrp and a Lineage for this tablet so hard...you cant imagine....
Pls keep on trying
Thx for the root manual
Root ------> speed up tablet
Has anyone who has achieved root used an app like kernel adiutor to improve performance and how did it go? How did affect battery life?

I have shared my detail experience at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/root-roms-2019-tab-8-0-sm-p200-5-t3933089/page2
can i update magisk through magisk manager ??
hi,
thx for the comprehensive instruction.
I have successfully rooting my sm-p205
I have 2 questions if u pls help me :
1. I want root my sm-p205 because I want to use tincore keymapper. but although now I have successfully rooted it, it seems that I have to set the selinux to permissive.
I have tried all I've found, from using selinuxmodechanger, selinuxswitch, or even using terminal with su 0 setenforce 0, and all not working. that selinux still enforcing.
can u pls help me how to change the selinux ?
2. if I couldnt change the selinux, than it's no use for me to still on root. Is there anyway to go back to original stock firmware and unroot ? because I read on the last instruction of magisk that I may not flash it again with usual ap file that it may make it brick ?
thx
Any update on a lineage build for this? I would love to have adaptive storage work on this tablet - the adb shell version fails for me corrupting the sd.
