Galaxy Tab S4 stuck at boot after trying to root - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Hello together
I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 according to https://appuals.com/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-s4/
There I came up to step 10 (so I flashed the two files). Now the Tablet is kind of stuck in the boot screen showing this (the same for step 8 and 10 but at step 10 i lost the ability to get to the download mode):

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only thing possible is to gamble a bit with the keys power, volume up and down to get the yellow sign in the top left showing "kernel" instead of "recovery". Otherwise if I press all three buttons together the following screen comes:
I am a complete noob in that kind of things and got no idea what to do now. There is no possibility to open the download mode to revert something, neither TWRP is shown as it should according to the Description in Link above. If possible I dont want to get anything deleted. What can I do?
EDIT: If possible I still want to root the tablet because I only see advantages in it, even I never found a good (explanatory) tutorial on it.
kind regards

Ok as I was very impatient and tried a bit, the blue screen is actually the "ODIN Download Mode". I reinstalled the stock firmware (loosing all data) (and rooted the device with Magisk later on) so the sm-t830 works perfectly again.

Help Please. I can only go to Download mode

Hi guys,
Looks like my phone's in deep sh*t right now. Here's the story.
I'm coming from Criskelo rom JB 4.1.2
I wanted to try another rom and found this [ROM][4.3][NA1][9/2/14]►Xperia-Z-ized™ and i thought, this looks cool and wanted to try it out.
Managed to install the ROM perfectly, Phone works and everything but then the Wifi isn't working so i did what was told, to use the bootloader patch by Dr.Ketan. This was in the FAQ's 2-3 post below the Rom screenshots.
Extracted the file, put my phone in Download mode and connected in Odin. according to Ketan, use the PDA tab so i used that to locate the bootloader patch. started Odin, i think i was waiting for a good 5 minutes but the process still hasn't completed. still waited for 10-15 minutes more to find out that my pc is actually frozen. so i disconnected my device and restarted my pc.
F*ck now my phone is showing this. Please Help, what should i do? It's not going to Philz recovery mode but i can go to Download mode (Vol down + Home + Power). I'm definitely not downloading Kies as i know it disrupts Odin in someway.

[Q] Bootloop, no recovery

Hi,
I tried to install the xposed framework for Android 5 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 with Blisspop, which worked totally fine. After enabling a module and restarting though, I am in a bootloop with the Cyanogenmod screen. I also cant get to the recovery for some reason. But I am able to get to the download mode.
Does anybody have an idea?
Do some googling, find an apk for Flashify and install. Within the menu, find the recovery reboot option and get back to TWRP.
Post edit: I read that too fast.... You're in a bootloop....
Can you 3 button into recovery? Or is that even a option anymore?
It's highly unlikely you have lost recovery, however just reflash recovery. Then hard reset and boot to recovery.
You WILL be able to get into recovery if you do the right combo at the right time.
I've found that when this happened to me on a number of occasions , enter the first download mode screen but instead of going into download mode with the up volume selection use the down selection to reboot then quickly press and hold the up, power and home buttons as normal for recovery it should get you to recovery. Good luck

TWRP continuously presents the same message?

Hi Everyone,
I have unlocked the boot menu on my One M9, and installed TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/hima/twrp-3.0.0-2-hima.img.html).
However I have a sneaking suspicion that the custom recovery is not working correctly. Every time that I boot into recovery I see the same message (shown below). Every time that I see the message I tick the 'Never show this screen during boot again' checkbox, and then swipe the 'Swipe to Allow Modifications' button.
Why am I seeing this message over and over again? Furthermore what does seeing this message actually mean? As a side note I appear to be able to install ROMs (Android HD, and Venom) - log files show successful ROM installation - however I cannot boot into them, instead I simply find myself at the bootloader screen whenever I start the phone.

Any help here would be great! I am currently unable to use the phone, and would ideally like to start using a custom ROM. However if doing so is not possible it would still be good to work out what is going on before I make the move back to the stock ROM.
Kind Regards,
Davo
that is normal, if you won't use stock roms again, just select never show this during boot again and swipe to allow system modifications. then you can normally flash roms without any problem
That is exactly my point! I have already followed your suggestion over ten times...but the message keeps appearing regardless!

Doubts how to root Samsung A50 sm-a505fn

I want to root sm-a505fn, I already rooted some phone so I am familiar with TWRP and Odin.
First thing, why isn't the A50 listed on the TWRP page? there are only Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 (Exynos) (a5xelte) and Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (a5y17lte).
I have read about the OEM unlock, however didn't understand if I have to disable (grayed out) it or not, since some tutorial say different things.
At the end I tried with this fw, but it doesn't work. W or w/o OEM Lock, I get blocked by oem lock . Odin does not complete, it is stuck on VBMETA RQT_CLOSE !!.
Maybe because of the locked bootloader? I was wandering why in each tutorial I find press volume up to unlock the bootloader but when I restart the phone in recovery mode, I don't find that screen, but the following one. After I select Reboot to bootloader I get in download mode:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Other tutorials say to power the phone with VOL UP + VOL DOWN, but does not power on at all...
Phone Info:
One UI VersionOneUI2.0Android Version10Product codeITVPDAA505FNXXU5BTL3CSCA505FNOXM5BTL1
Need explain please.
Thx
At the end I have been able to unlock the bootloader and install the TWRP from this guide, but:
- no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 fails to install
- multidisabler-samsung-2.2 gets installed but don't know how to check it...
- Magisk-21.2(21200).zip gets installed from TWRP but does not result to be installed on the phone
- MagiskManager-v8.0.4 from phone get installed, but even if the installed version results to be last available, it proposes to install it. Furthermore i do not have the option to direct install Magisk (the third option)...
Could the problem be the wrong version of TWRP?

Huawei M2-801L problem/flash firmware problem

I am having issues with my Huawei M2-801L. I have tried doing a complete reset and everything with no avail.
So basically when I start the tablet, it brings up a white screen, I can't press the home button or anything, I can't swipe on the screen, only thing that works is me pressing the home button to shut it down.
It also keeps rebooting itself.
See image attached.
I tried to flash firmware on to Huawei MediaPad M2-801L.
I have a number of issues:
Can't get into device to enable Developer Options, there is a firmware problem not allowing me to do this.
I don't have an unlocked bootloader
Using fastboot commands to flash device keeps giving me this error: FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed'). (I have installed Android Studio, and I am doing the commands within the "platform_tools" folder, with the relevant files to flash the device with).
I have even tried to install twrp with no avail
I have researched the internet for hours yesterday, trying different methods to try and get my tablet back up and running again. Every method I tried, I seemed to bump into many errors along the way.
I can get into fastboot mode and download mode. I have tried using QFIL, however I don't have a RawProgram and Patch file.
Is there something I'm missing? Can anyone guide me in the right direction if possible?
Thanks in advance!

Did these issues start before or after your display broke?

It was along time after
It could be hardware related due to the broken display.
As you can't get into fastboot nor into download mode, DC Unlocker or DC Phoenix are also no options to solving your issues.
If you can find a cheap replacement display on eBay, maybe this could fix it but it is a long shot.
