Help Trying to Root Samsung tab s T700 - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded ODIN and the correct TWRP. I put tablet into download mode and opened ODIN. Unselected auto root and checked the AP box. Opened TWRP file and the file went into the box next to AP. ODIN said device passed and so did tablet. What do I do next? Do i reboot? Even though ODIN says pass. I ran Root checker and device is still not rooted. Having a problem installing Super SU. Once ODIN says pass and tablet is still hooked up with USB, not sure what to do next
You tube says hold down PWR, Both volume rockers and Home button. When I do that my tablet goes back into The Warning screen where up can select volume up or down to either continue or cancel (restart Tablet)
Please Help

To shut down, hold
PWR+HOME+VOL DOWN
To get to TWRP:
When you see the Sammy logo keep holding PWR+HOME then slide finger to
VOL UP.

Tried to do what you said but still having trouble. Everything in ODIN seems to be doing fine. The screen on my tablet has the blue line on the bottom when ODIN is finished. I then press, at the same time, PWR, Both volume up and down, and home button. The tablet screen goes black, then the samsung tab s comes on with "android" at bottom. Then nothing happens. Even when i lift finger off of "volume down" while still holding PWR and Home button. IM at a loss

You're at a loss because you disregarded the instructions titib gave you.
After flashing :
POWER +HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP(release VOL down) whilst still holding the other buttons.

Thank you for your help. I did get root on my tab s. I'm not too tech savvy but I'm trying to learn. I have the WiFi model sm t700 running Lollipop 5.0.2. I have no idea what to do now that I'm rooted. Any extra help would be appreciated. Thanks again

I backed up my system using twrp and backed up system and apps using titanium backup. I copied all the files to an external hardrive using pc. I'm looking at installing a custom rom now and I was wondering what the best one is. I know it depends on personal preference. I would like marshmallow without bloatware. I believe I'm ready for a custom rom unless I have forgotten something. Tried to read a lot and do my homework. Right know I'm still on stock lollipop 5.0.2

In order to flash a custom rom do I need to unlock the bootloader? This is the WiFi version. Or did the bootloader unlock when I flashed twrp and rooted?

No need to unlock the bootloader.
As long as you have done a FULL backup of ALL partitions with TWRP then flash away.

Yet another bricked tablet

I rooted my tab-s 10.5 the other day, I used Odin 3.10.6. I then used flashify to add TWRP, again no problems. From there I really don't remembered what I did to it, but now it is stuck at the white logo that comes after the colored one and now it will not turn off I can get into the Odin menu but that is all. I have let it discharged all night then charged it then I turned it on, it then got to the logo and stopped & will not shut off . I am tempted to send it to Samsung(even though I voided the warranty) and let them fix it. I am at my wits end on this.

White logo? Samsung logo or Galaxy Tab S logo?
I assume Samsung logo. Anyway you can force reboot by holding power+home button + BOTH Volume up and Down buttons all at the same time until the screen goes black. Then quickly press the recovery button combo and restore your backup.
Now if your at the Galaxy Tab S logo, hold power+home button+ both volume buttons until the screen goes black, then press and hold Power+Home+ Volume down buttons then that should get you into download mode. From there flash your firmware.

The download mode is what I thought was called Odin mode which I can get to. The thing is I do not have a firmware. I looked at several sites for one but I did not know which one to down load. They were for other countries but the US..

Heres the T800 lollipop firmware https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347760201
I mirrored it so the download should be fast. It's U.S region
So I should use Odin to load the firmware, right.
Thank you DUHAsianSKILLZ very much, it worked. I about panicked there for a moment when it took awhile to boot. It looks like all of my apps are still there, I only had to reset my wallpaper. Thanks again.

I usually don't recommend flashing twrp with flashify as it causes some problems but most times don't. I use this tutorial (by me lol) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59638836 and had no problems so far installing twrp + rooting.
The problem you could of had that gave you the bootloop is that you might of hit something I don't know. I tend to only use the recovery to flash roms and hardly ever for backups (takes to much space). I just keep a custom ROM on my sd card since most of my things are backed up into the cloud.
Or you could use this, root and twrp in one:

[Q] Need Help - SM T705 stuck on start up screen.

Greetings XDA Developers,
Newbie here. I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S (SM T705). I was able to root it a few weeks ago and I decided to install a custom recovery (TWRP) using an app from the Playstore named "TWRP Manager". I didn't hesitate to do so using this method because I was able to install TWRP on my GT I9300 successfully from the past using this app. However, after being prompted by the app that the recovery was successfully installed and needs to reboot the device, my tab was stuck on start up screen ( See attached photo ). I tried long pressing the power button but nothing happened. I waited until the device ran out of battery and when it did, I plugged in the charger and I'm back at the same screen. After google-ing some possible solutions, I tried to boot it into recovery but was unsuccessful, however, I was able to boot into download mode.
I'd like to ask for the help of some "experienced" users in this forum on how to solve this problem. And if possible, I'm hoping that flashing a stock recovery using Odin wouldn't be my last resort.
Thank you in advance.

Your going to need some fast hands for this one! I've ran into this lots of times when testing kernels and such. Any force reboot by holding Power Button+ Home Button + BOTH Volume buttons all at the same time. Press and hold that combo until the screen goes black. Then once the screen goes black quickly press and hold Power Button+ Home Button + Volume down buttons all at the same time. You should no enter into download mode. You said that you drained the battery so I would suggest charging it in download mode for 30 minutes or so then flash TWRP with Odin.
Your going to need to flash stock recovery or TWRP with Odin to override the boot and get it working
The TWRP app doesn't always work in which is why I use Odin.

As a side note for future reference, hard reset is simply hold POWER + VOL DOWN.
As said all you need do is boot to download mode and flash recovery.
If you're on lollipop you may need to immediately boot into recovery after flashing to make it stick.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. But how exactly do I "immediately boot into recovery after flashing to make it stick." Since after I flash recovery via odin, it would obviously automatically reboot my device? sorry for the dumb question.

You either be quick and hold POWER + HOME + VOL UP as soon as it reboots or you uncheck auto reboot in Odin then restart manually.

So did the solution work? I am looking at a SM-T705 on ebay being sold for parts with similar symptoms. hoping I can fix it for a great bargain.

Did I Brick My new Galaxy Tab S?

First I rooted using CF-Auto-Root by Chainfire Root was verified working used the tablet for a couple hours. Then I booted into TWRP and did a back up and factory wipe then installed IronRom When the installation was complete it said rebooting but TRWP seemed to freeze. So I held the power button until it turned off. It automatically rebooted to the Samsung GALAXY TAB S boot image and thats now where its stuck. If I Hold the power button it does nothing. If I hold the volume down with the power button it shuts off for about a sec or 2 and come right back to the Samsung GALAXY TAB S boot image and stays there. Is there any hope for me?
Model is a T800. was running 4.4.2.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!
I have had serveral devices this is the first time anything like this has happened.

THIS WORKS FOR THE SM-T700
Well, it seems that TWRP was successfully installed. Get back to the TWRP recovery mode: To turn off tab and reboot into TWRP while tab is powered on hold down
Power+VOL DOWN+Home button.
*As soon as* you see the logo, move finger to VOL UP while still holding down Power and Home buttons.

Ok I managed to get into TWRP..Its version 2.8.6.2 but TWRP freezes on trying to reboot. I have to hold power and volume down button to get to shut off. Then it reboots to Samsung GALAXY Tab S logo. I figured how to get back into TWRP but I can't get past it.
Thank you TiTiB That got me back to TWRP but see above.
Ok, so to answer my question..NO its not bricked ...(on Knees thanking the gods) Managed to restore backup. Did a restore and powered off via power button. Powered back on and tablet booted. Trying to update TWRP to latest version now. Wish me luck. Thank You once again ... TiTiB!1

Any way to recover Edge Plus?

Hi...
I got my S6 Edge+ rooted and attempted to install recovery via TWRP Manager app. This was a mistake and it failed. When I tried to reboot the phone, it became stuck on the start up Samsung logo screen, displaying the message "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." Then it either sticks there...or quickly shuts down.
Pressing volume down/power reboots to logo screen and that's all.
Pressing volume up/power/home does nothing.
Pressing volume down/power/home gets me to screen where I can connect to Odin. That seems to be working okay. I've tried to flash a couple different recoveries, but nothing has an effect. Some seem to flash successfully but nothing changes. Others fail.
I also tried flashing a stock firmware file (G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5), but that failed.
Seems if I found the right file to use through Odin it might set things right. Or is there another possible solution? If anyone has any help or suggestions (or links!) I would much appreciate it.
Thanks...Mike

You flashed the wrong firmware for your phone, we have a S6 Edge+ G928T and the
firmware you flashed was for the G925T phone.
Make sure that before you odin flash the S6 Edge+ G928T firmware that you go into the
phone's recovery by pressing volume up, power and home button at the same time.
and do a factory reset or factory data reset first.
Your best bet is to odin flash the correct firmware and start from the beginning.
Here is a fast download link for the proper firmware for your phone (COKC):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24337548750880895
Also the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." message you see is normal if
you have rooted and twrp'ed your phone.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thank you so much Misterjunky!
After I made that post I was looking at the file name that I copied in there...thinking it should include 928. Why I didn't notice before, I'm not sure, I think I was in a panic searching around for an answer.
The only problem is I can't go into the phone's recovery by pressing volume up, power and home button at the same time. I kept trying desperately to do that yesterday, but no luck.
Any suggestions on getting that working? I have the correct firmware file downloaded and ready to go. Thanks again for the help.

There is another way to get into recovery, it's a bit complicated but if you do it just
right the phone will either go into stock recovery or twrp if you have twrp installed.
You have to have fast and accurate fingers for for the following:
First you need to go into "download" mode, then press the power,
home, volume up and volume down all at the same time until you
see the full black screen of the phone without any writing on it.
While still pressing all four buttons let go of the volume down button
while pressing the other three buttons, then keep pressing the three
buttons until you see stock or twrp recovery on the screen then let
let go of all the buttons.
Remember, when doing this you need to be not only fast but very accurate.
If you still cannot get into recovery then you need to go into download mode
and odin flash the official stock G928T firmware before doing anything else.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thanks again for the help Misterjunky. The alternate button presses to enter recovery didn't work either...the phone was very messed up.
Plus the battery wouldn't charge. It had drained out (because at first it wouldn't turn off), and so the phone would stay on only intermittently when plugged in. Not long enough to flash the firmware, which was very frustrating.
But suddenly, in desperation, I got a version of TWRP to flash successfully from Odin and open...which allowed the battery to charge. Then I was able to flash the firmware from your link, and after a couple of false starts, it was working perfectly.
I've subsequently found the correct version of TWRP to flash in your post in another thread, and it's fine. Now the phone is re-rooted and back to normal.

I've had the same issue on my phone, however when I download the stock firmware and flash with TWRP I get an error: "could not locate meta-inf/com/google/android/update/binary"
It also freezes and crashes odin anytime i try to flash through there.
Am I missing something? I have the same model (SM-G928T)

Have I just bricked my faithful A70?

So I tried to install TWRP and followed the steps, used ODIN v3.14, it tried to upload something but failed with an error.
Now the phone has gone into a perpetual restart cycle:
1) Reboot (by itself or Vol Down + Power)
2) Blank screen with: "Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox - Powered by Android"
3) Screen with: "This phone's bootloader is unlocked and its software integrity... - Press power key to continue"
4) Blank screen with: "Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox - Powered by Android"
5) Blank screen with: "SAMSUNG" for a very long time
6) eventually back to step 1
****************
Is there a way to get back this phone?
I was flashed twrp normally and nothing happened for me. Did you pressed vol up+power ASAP after flash successful ? If not, go to download mode and flash again, then press vol up+power immediately.
I never managed to flash TWRP, ODIN displayed an error when I tried.
1. Your using the wrong version of odin. You need 3.13.3
2. Sounds like your not key comboing fast enough?
3. You can not hard brick the A70. If its in a boot loop, plug into pc and Continue to hold vol up and down till it boots to download mode. Flash latest stock version then reboot.

Dont press power during the end process, its power and vol down till screen goes blank then immediately let go and press and hold just vol up.
OK, I am now in the "Downloading..." screen and the phone is waiting.
All I have on my PC is:
recovery.tar
twrp-3.6.1_9-0-a70q.img.tar
DFE.zip
I do not have the Samsung firmware or anything else.
What should I do now?

Get frija from the link in my guide under tools, install it on your pc, then use it to download your latest stock firmware. Make sure you have odin 3.13.3 as well
In frija, enter the model number and the region code of the A70
In my case it would be SM-A705MN/ TTT
Do NOT flash other models, it must be for your Model. Also, dont flash csc_home in this instance, use csc. When loading the AP file, it will take a little bit to load in and you may see odin has stopped working, ignore that and it will eventually load, make sure auto reboot is unchecked everytime you use odin. The first step in my guide says to download and flash latest stock firmware. Anytime your going to do modifications to a device, make sure to have the latest stock firmware first.
Many thanks for suggestions.
I managed to download the stock firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a70/firmware/SM-A705FN/BTU/#SM-A705FN and have uploaded it using ODIN 3.14 The phone has now started, like new / factory reset.
I am now setting it up (Samsung firmware) just to make sure I have got my phone back.
After I will try to zap and upload another ROM.

I didn't said that hold power button during flash. Press vol up+power after successful flash, that means when odin say pass then phone goes black and boots, while bootsplash is coming, immediately press and hold vol up+power to switch to recovery.

Its not up+power after successful flash.
Its down+power till screen goes blank then immediately hold vol up only. Is what im trying to tell you. It will NOT work the way you described.

I managed to download the stock firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a70/firmware/SM-A705FN/BTU/#SM-A705FN and have uploaded it using ODIN 3.14 The phone has now started, like new / factory reset.
I am now setting it up (Samsung firmware) just to make sure I have got my phone back.
After I will try to zap and upload another ROM.

Its not up+power after successful flash.
Its down+power till screen goes blank then immediately hold vol up only. Is what im trying to tell you. It will NOT work the way you described.

It's not necessary, i can go up to recovery with what i'm saying. What do you mean by vol down+power ? That doesn't do anything. BTW I have FN model.

In download mode, Android 11, to exit, it litterly tells you on the screen to hold vol down and power to reboot. Vol up and power does nothing in this state. To get to twrp from download mode, hold vol down and power till screen goes blank and then press and hold vol up. This will boot to twrp. Other ways to boot to twrp is power off device, plug into pc, wait for it to charge, then hild vol up and power till it boots or if magisk is installed, use magisk reboot options.
Dude, your key combos and information is incorrect. You can not reboot to twrp from download mode by holding vol up and power.
Samsung changed the keymap combination to boot into recovery on 3.1, so to boot into recovery stock or whatever it is, just follow the steps:
Connect your cellphone to the USB port.
Press on Volume UP during boot.
Samsung does weird things

Yes, that's.what i'm saying. I'm using September Update's bootloader to get rid of this weirdness lol

My key combo is true, actually the wrong one is yours This is the valid way also on the latest bootloader but like haky86 said, on latest bootloader Samsung wants you to plug USB cable to do this.
So we are agreed, there is no way to get to TWRP unless you are connected to USB? For example, on my one old phone, I used to keep TWRP backups on the SD card, and I could restore anywhere, I did not need to be near the PC with a USB cable.
