For those that ask if there is lag
This is still an ALPHA build so please do not be to critical, it needs alot of themeing to be done and there is more i need to put on but i think everyone will be happy with the direction this is going with. This is inludes everything Striked off the list of things to include above.
After flashing it will boot right into clockwork, press power to reboot. Clearing cache partition and Dalvik is not a bad idea but if you dont it wont hurt anything.
[tip]If you do not already have voodoo installed boot time should be 5-7 mins do not panic just be patient.[/tip]

Extracting a compressed file (ex. zip or rar)
1.) Download and install Winrar HERE
2.) Locate the compressed file you would like to extract
3.)Right mouse click on the file icon a drop down menu will appear , select Extract Here
4.) You will then see a progress pop up window that will appear then when completed will close itself
5.)This will leave an extracted file in the destination folder
Congrats you have successfully extracted the compressed file it is now ready for use

To install ODIN packages on your device
1.Download and install drivers on your computer HERE
2. Next you will need to download the Altered Beast zip file from post #1 which will be extracted and placed in the PDA section of ODIN:
3.) You will need to download the ODIN application tool found here ODIN or ODIN MIRROR
4) Extract the Altered Beast zip file to get the .tar.md5 file
5.) If your phone is plugged into your computer, unplug it now.
6.) If your phone is not powered down, power it down now.
7.) Remove battery from phone.
8.) Launch ODIN on PC.
9.) Plug USB cable into phone.
10.) Plug your Droid Charge into the PC via the USB cable that came with your phone.
11.) Press and hold the volume down key until (approx 3 secs) you see a gigantic yellow triangle on your phone, and your phone will be in download mode. The first thin rectangle in the upper left of the ODIN applicate should also turn yellow and identify a com port. You can now release the volume key.
12.) Click on the PDA button in ODIN
Triple check that you pushed the PDA button. Do NOT click the Phone button prior to continuing to step 13. If you choose Phone, you will have bought your Fascinate a one-way ticket to hell.
13.) Find and double click on the Altered Beast .tar.md5 file you downloaded & click the Start button. (This should take approx 3 to 6mins)
14.) Phone will power down when finished.
15.) Close ODIN, remove USB cable from phone, reinsert battery, power on phone and let ROM fully load.
[TIP]It may boot into stock recovery simply Press the home button to reboot
It is also advised to wipe cache partition while you are in recovery [/TIP]
******************************************************************************************************************************************
[INFO]Visual Instructions [/INFO]
First you must download
Odin v1.3
Once odin is downloaded open it, its an executable file so when you open it you will see the following :
Once this is up, do the following
-Remove the battery from your Device
-Plug in the USB cord
-Hold down the Volume Down button until you see a big bright triangle on your screen , underneath it will say Downloading and beneath that it will say Do not turn off target
At this point you will see one of the boxes in the corner turn yellow, letting you know there is a connection, it will look like this
after you are connected you want to hit the PDA button, NEVER PHONE, phone will erase your modem and you will have trouble connecting after that at all.
when you click the PDA button a pop up will appear and you will need to select the file you would like to flash and then click open
now you will see the file appear in the PDA window ,, with connection made and the file in the PDA window, you may now hit Start
Once you hit start this process Should take approx. 5 mins if you are returning to stock . shouldnt take any less time than that and not much more. So dont start freaking out at min 2...(wait till min 7) lol
If you are flashing a Clockworkmod file it should take approx 7seconds.
once it is completed you should see the following window:
Once you have reached this screen it is safe to unplug , put your battery in and boot up..

Trouble Shooting

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Resolution
90% of problems associated with Odin are due to communication between phone and computer
Reboot your computer
Redownload the odin package
Use USB ports in the back of the computer, if you already are use a different port
Make sure you did not forget to remove battery from phone (Should be out the ENTIRE process)
make sure Odin is the only application running and Antivirus is DISABLED
If you are using a laptop make sure its plugged in also find the nearest desktop and try from there
****************************************************************************
After failed flash with odin upon power up the following is depicted on the screen
SOFT BRICK
Resolution
First off DO NOT PANIC. there is a simple solution, just remove the battery , plug the phone into the computer, press and hold volume down and it will enter download mode. Please review all the steps oulined in this thread and try and flash again

no i honestly i am not sure how to make it in zip flashable form yet hopefully a developer will show mercy upon me lol and show me how its done

I'm game!
Downloading now.
Just wanted to give y'all a big "THANKS" for all you do!
This is the first time I've flashed a ROM in a long time. SO far, it's been fun - let's see what this one does!
EDIT #1
WooHoo!
After rebooting, it booted into recovery mode (Red Text), so I just rebooted, and it went to the "Red Eye", and about 2 minutes later, we're golden!
BTW, the boot animation is still 'glitchy'. Could this be from my original flashing of v4 Kernel?
EDIT #2
Looks like email is missing....no ability to add either POP email or Exchange email, unless I'm missing something.

Thank you for the ROM ...loaded up perfectly. Are you planning on keeping the background image for the notification pull down or going with a solid color/transparent?

Rom is amazing.

UPDATE: nevermind, found the solution in the thread on androidcentral.
Thanks!
Ok, the rom booted up great. But I'm having calendar problems. I downloaded both the .apks. The calendarsync installed fine, but my accounts say sync is experiencing problems and will be back shortly. So I tried to install the calendarprovider and it won't install.
Help??
Thanks!

Appears to be working just fine for me. Did you move both apks to system/app and reboot?

I think in the ROM imnuts created, he removed the stock samsung email app. Unless you're talking about something different entirely.

Wow, this ROM looks amazing! Seriously cannot wait to see how it progresses.

Keep up the great work! Followed your instructions and everything is going great. I'm about to download those apks and put them in the place to fix calendar.

anyone on that has the calendar problem?

Im using this rom and dont have the calender bug. Only.bug ive seen so far is when deleting a contact it erases it then force closes on me. But it still does its job so its all good

For some reason, I can't even access the Calendar on my phone. It's not even in the app launcher or anything like that. The widget still works, but even from the widget, I can't open the calendar. Any ideas?

Always "Update failed"
I've tried all the different UPDATE.APP versions. And every one of them starts to unpack, and then, just as it's about to start installing,
I get a yellow warning triangle and an "Update failed" message.
Anyone experienced the same or know what to do with this?
I'd like to root the current 2.3.6 or upgrade to ICS or something, but everything just fails
The phone is totally stock from manufacturer, I haven't flashed or done anything.

Check at the bottom of this post for French thread.
​
Just grab the one you want and put it in CSC in PC ODIN during the same flash process and it first flash the CSC inclued in the firmware, and then overwrite the CSC with the one you added.
2 - Download CF Auto Root for KitKat from Chainfire ODIN version.
Extract the tar.md5 file inside the zip to use with pc odin.
3 - Download the custom recovery PhilZ Touch ODIN version.
I advise to apply this unlock procedure before anything to avoid flash errors:
-> You need Triangle Away from Chainfire with a root acces granted.
Free version is avaible but consider to support the dev for his great job...
a/ Install the app on your phone.
b/ Run Triangle Away and Reset Flash Counter - Follow exactly what the program ask.
At the time to choose the way to reboot after the reset is done in recovery, choose reboot in download mode and then start the flash process immediatly.​
4 - In download mode flash the file that you had previously downloaded N9005-hlte_PDA-xxxxxxx_CSC-xxxxxxx_MODEMS-xxxxxxx_REPACK.tar.md5 with PC Odin in AP.
Do not forget to check/enable the Phone Bootloader Update option in pc odin. (seems working nevertheless without this option ticked)
Leave all others one by default.
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked.
If you have an error (size error - Your phone may mismatch with this rom, another Samsung lock...) as odin fail at the end of the flash process.
- Shutdown the phone, disconnect the battery, disconnect the phone from your computer and wait a minute, return to download mode.
- Download and flash the file wich contain the CSC that you want.
5 - Auto self-reboot, let the stock recovery do his work completly (the green android man).
If you don't want to install root and a custom recovery, you can stop here.
6 - Go back download mode, flash the PhilZ Touch recovery with pc odin in AP.
7 - Again, in download flash, CF Auto Root with pc odin in AP, let the installation process terminate.
Note: If you were previously rooted, jump this step and download, If not yet done, SuperSu to update by flashing the file in custom recovery..
In this case, re-flash CF Auto Root will loose all your settings of SuperSu...​
8 - Download the fix for the ExtSdCard issue and flash it in custom recovery.
This is a Google security restriction, unnecessary to wait for a fix from Google, just from developpers of apps. Quick way is to apply this fix.
9 - Don't forget BusyBox which should be usefull too.
- About Mobile Odin :
As Mobile Odin seems to be unable to update the bootloader, don't use this one to avoid brick issues when operate with a different rom version than you have.
If you are already on the same firmware, you can use Mobile Odin to re-flash the rom or any other single part:
- Copy the file on your phone.
- Open this file in Mobile Odin.
- Enable EverRoot and Inject Superuser (SuperSu) in case of a system flashing.
- Choose to reboot in Recovery when you flash System and Cache partitions. If not, you may have problems regarding the CSC.
- Start Flashing.
- Do not skip md5 check to gain a little time. (For the life of your phone...)
- Issues :
All theses solutions were tested by me and worked for me, but without any other warranty.
The CSC region code or version are invisibles, the CSC folder is missing in system/.
The stock samsung keyboard crash often once booted.
You need another CSC (warning, you wil loose all your datas and settings, change for another CSC perform a wipe of the phone)
- Check here for the file you need, download and extract it.
-> Apply the Unlock Procedure.
- Flash the file N9005-hlte_CSC_xxxxxxx_RECOVERY-xxxxxxx_REPACK.tar.md5 with pc odin in CSC.
The Modem is not updated.
Download and extract the .tar.md5 modem file.
-> Apply the Unlock Procedure.
- Flash the file that you had previously downloaded N9005-hlte_MODEMS_xxxxxxx_REPACK.tar.md5 with pc odin in CP.
- Reboot normally.
The Bootloader is not updated.
You can check by using this app.
-> Download and extract the .tar.md5 bootloader file.
-> Apply the Unlock Procedure.
- Flash the file N9005-hlte_BL_xxxxxxx_REPACK.tar.md5 with pc odin in BL and check/enable the Phone Bootloader Update option.
- Reboot normally.
Flash player doesn't work anymore.
-> Install Firefox last up to date version and the original latest apk from adobe, nothing else to do.
-> If you prefer Dolphin, download the special version of adobe flash player, more here.
Maybe someone make an xposed module later, it should be a dream...
This fix seems working with this rom (bootloop efs corrupted related).
Not personally affected, just tested the flash.
Download here too.
After all this procedure, you should be fine, upgraded and with all yours datas and settings...
At this state, i just made a wipe of the cache and dalvik cache with phil'z recovery.
- Tune :
- Enable Init.d Support.
- To simply restore the sound at the (de)connection of the charger, you can install this app.
- If you want an imaged battery, you can use RECOVERY - SystemUI N9005 xxxxxxx MOD tkari4-Version by tkari4 based on the guide from parkhyb.
Basically revert to the old 4.3 style for battery and network icons.

Just Flash the mod with any custom recovery.
To revert back to the original situation, just flash in custom recovery the file RECOVERY - SystemUI xxxxxxx ODEX STOCK. (STOCK ODEX version)
You can use my blue battery mod. (I reworked a little the graphics for a better scale.) Just extract the .rar archive and install normally the apk Inside, you need too a working Xposed Framework installed.
You can find other Xposed compatibles battery Mods here.
Just reboot once installed.
Many Thanks to tkari4 for keeping alive his mod. :good:
- The repacks i made still works fine.
The rom repacks are made by me with this tool.
Many thanks and credits to all the persons who made this possible.
Notes:
As i do not have the time to download/extract all the roms, if someone needs another CSC repack for him or just to share, please post here with a link for the extracted CSC files only (cache.img.ext4 - hidden.img.ext4) related and with all the details (region, full code name, original rom it come from ... )
To unpack a .tar.md5 file, simply rename it as .tar and extract the content with any good archive software.
I will centralize here.
All others requests in any another form will be ignored, thanks for understanding.
To keep as simply and clear as possible, i will maintain on the Mirror and on thread only the latest updated rom, so if you put elsewhere any link from here, it may be broken in the time, the only ones which would be permanent is the one of the folder and the one of this thread. If you Mirror any file, thanks to keep credits.
Keep a local copy of the downloaded files if you think you will need then later as the content should be updated here.
I maintain the updates only for multi-csc repacks and keep others ones in the mirror, if you need one of theses mono-csc wich is not updated with the latest recovery avaible, simply ask here...
French users, clone thread is here.
Just press thanks if i helped.

Did you search the forum before posting? because if you did, you'd see that there are 500 thread about this already.

Yes, every day i do.
And i saw no thread that talk about merging two différents roms to make a new one for a specific country, centralize all the majors tools with direct download links for correct versions to avoid confusions between JB & KK, that i often saw, and attached xda threads, and too provide others files needed at the same place for my device (n9005)
Maybe i had read the forum more often than you think...

1 - Download the official Poland rom...
2 - Download any NA7 rom...
To this step's We have here a MIRROR on MEGA Host.

Updated the op with a link to the repacked rom and refreshed the guide.
So it is more easy and simple, i think.

Good and informative First Post. Thanks!
Maybe you can do the same with the update that came out today

No need to repack the whole firmware as all which is needed is Inside.
I am currently upload the rom to mirror it ...
Just made a new repack for the multi-csc.
Just flashed over the NA7 rom by following my guide and all went fine.
No full wipes.
Just made a wipe in dalvik cache and cache in recovery once done.

Great and complete Guide. Useful this ALL IN ONE PLACE. Bookmarked.
Thanks

What Rom have You installed? If You have flashed the XXUENB3 why You are in NA6 BL?

letama said:
There is a catch in going from NA6 to NB3, it seems bootloader flashing is ignored now in NA6 BL if your rom status is custom. Solution is triangle away, reflash na6 stock, then make sure that you status is official before flashing NB3.

Le [email protected] said:
I was on NA7 BL previously flashed over NA6 BL without any problem.
Followed your trick and flashed my own made NB3 flashable file.
I did not any reflash, just reseted with triangle away.
And it worked, i am now on NB3 BL.
Updated my thread too..
Thanks.

Thanks, good to know that reflashing pure stock is not mandatory, so the bootloader checks custom status flag only and not the whole firmware. Great, will save time for next one .

Updated the OP with a new version of Flash Player i found on xda wich work with Firefox too now.

Hi @Le [email protected]
Only for this time: Do not forget to check/enable the Phone Bootloader Update option in pc odin.
I don't understand why, if we flash a complete Rom whit a new bootloader. We not update the bootloader installed. Why You have this opinion now?
Thank You

Hi ValenteL
I saw (here or on other frenchs forums, no links to provide, forgot then) twice posts of somes personnes who don't have checked the option and have updated their bootloader and others one who don't had bootloader update and got soft brick issues as the rest was updated (JellyBean to Kitkat essentially)
It is usually advised here to check this option.
I not personnally took the risk to bypass this option in pc odin and always used it, so i can not confirm if it is important, effective or not.
There is this option in pc odin, i think too this is not for nothing at all.
For all this reasons, i prefer advise to enable this option when flashing a new rom, and it cost nothing to do.
Personnaly, i think it is important to do when using multi-files roms as the first Poland Leaked KitKat, but the bootloader update must be done automatically when flashing a single file rom which contain Inside all the needed parts.
Of course we can have problems when the knox is trigerred or the status of the rom is to custom, then somes parts seems to be 'jumped' when flashing. I feel this fact is increasing in the time.
When i bought my note 3, Under JellyBean, in France, i updated the rom with the latest version of JellyBean avaible on sam mobile for my country (XEF) and had no issue after the flash.
I got problem when i starded to flashed KitKat from others countries as the XEF one is not yet avaible and as i am a little an impatient flash-addict.
I wonder sometimes if i could have all this problems if were more patient and waiting for an upated version for my country.
At this time i identified three parts wich seems locked (not a secret).
CSC -> Ok, Samsung do not want i flash from another country, new policy from Samsung to lock by geographics sectors.
Modem -> Ok, region lock again.
Bootloader -> Why ? Does samsung want to block customs rom such CM, roots and others sames things? And knox related certainly too.
Samsung want to control and limit me a lot, to make more money with me.
Me, i want to be able to do ALL what i want with the device i bought, this is mine, as i can do with my Note 1.
There is a lot of chances that samsung never see again my money...
Time to bed here.

I dont think it should matter much. I have read on forum many in EU have RETASIA Firmware Out Of The Box. The Only Difference should be in Modem Files but phone calls should not be affected.
Few have used RETASIA Firmware in France and Germany without any Issues. I Wonder it is same in your case else you can download and flash EU Stock 6.01. As far as i know, bootloader need not be unlocked when flashing Stock.

Are you sure that the updated Build Number on 6.0.1 is MPD24.61-52 and not MPD24.107-52... Checking over at https://github.com/motoxplay/stock the new build on OTA as well as full Stock firmware is MPD24.107-52 not the one you're refering to...

Are you sure that the updated Build Number on 6.0.1 is MPD24.61-52 and not MPD24.107-52... Checking over at https://github.com/motoxplay/stock the new build on OTA as well as full Stock firmware is MPD24.107-52 not the one you're refering to...

Well this time Build Number and System Number is not same!! System Number is 24.61.52 and Build Number is MPD24.107-52. BTW Thanks for raising this up; I have updated my posted to include Build Number and not System Number.

No, it mustn't.

I have a rooted play with twrp and xposed framework installed.. Could someone explain how to update?

Uninstall xposed, unroot, flash stock recovery.

There already a TWRP release of 6.01. Just download and follow instructions. Typically all you have to do is boot to TWRP and select restore the newly downloaded firmware. Its that simple. Dont get in trap of unroot and all. Its a OTA Update and will check for system integrity which you must have lost and fail.
Just use the search function of XDA. You will be amazed with results. Just in case you dont, lemme know to get you the link.

[GUIDE/ODIN/FW/BL] SM-P610 USA/XAR WIFI ONLY: Stock Firmwares + Modded BL WarningText

THIS IS YOUR FIRST WARNING (WILL BE REITERATED PLENTY OF TIMES!) IN BIG RED BOLD LETTERS - THESE FILES ARE FROM/FOR THE USA ("XAR") REGION, SM-P610 WIFI MODEL ONLY!
(with the exception of the Odin utility, as well as possibly the modified boot splash screen, which may work on other variants, though untested and done solely at your own risk - read all the notes!!)​
I already went through the work, so I figured I would share these files for those who also own the same exact tablet. Again, it's for the USA/XAR region Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite WiFi Model ONLY - "SM-P610" / "gta4xlwifi". LTE model is a different variant; do NOT flash the stock firmware files to that device! Also, sorry, I will not support or answer questions for other variants (other than what I will mention in this OP). Downloading firmwares for other variants will be a huge PITA, and I don't have / pay for any "premium" accounts which would allow me to quickly download the huge firmware files. I'm only sharing these I'm posting because I already took the time to acquire and archive them for personal usage, and might as well share them for those who own the same device / variant.
Use these files at your own risk, and only flash if you know what you're doing!! I'm not responsible for any problems user may incur from usage of these files, the usual warnings apply, etc. This device is just a backup / playaround device for me, and so it doesn't get daily usage out of me, nor will I likely be very active on this subforum (sorry! just being honest). Also, I immediately installed LOS on my device anyway, so I don't run stock ROM myself and therefore won't be sharing pre-patched Magisk boot images either. Sorry to those who are used to that from me =)
So anyway... what's in this post?
Odin3 v3.14.4 (version I've been using on this device, and working perfectly fine as of this initial posting)
Stock firmware zips for USA/"XAR" Region SM-P610, WiFi Only
Modified BL file (Odin-flashable), to remove the warning boot text
Odin3 v3.14.4:
I posted this in another thread, but figured I would also link to it here so it's easy to find in one place. This worked perfectly fine for me to root / install TWRP / flash BL files, etc.

Modified [BL-slot] Odin-Flashable File To Remove Warning Splash Screen Text:
My Thoughts On This...After unlocking the bootloader and flashing non-stock images, we all know we end up with that annoying, ugly splash screen screaming that the device is modified. Most of us modifying our devices understand the security implications involved, and ironically choose to modify our devices to increase security in other ways. Yet, these warning splash screens, in the unfortunate event of possible theft, may very well end up being the reason a more tech-savvy thief is able to break into the device, or find someone who can. So, thanks to users' posts Awesomeslayerg's hint and blascogm's guide, I quickly came up with an Odin-flashable file to change the splash screen, as seen below:
(if the pic doesn't show, probably the imgur link I used is dead, but I also attached it to this post)
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I know some people may be thinking "why not just remove the PRESS POWER KEY TO CONTINUE line completely and have it stay at the normal boot screen seamlessly the whole time", and the reason I decided not to do this is because it generally wouldn't make the average person suspect the device is modified, and it's still good for us to know that it's at the boot stage where we can hit the power key to skip the ~10 second timeout. It's exactly the same image, so it's still very seamless and stock-like. I even took the time to center the power key text exactly, by the pixel, from left to right and from top bottom relative to the knox and android logos.. ; )
And if it really bothers you that much, follow the guide I linked above and do it yourself. =)
I should also mention that, for our devices, the .bin.lz4 file that needs to be decrypted is actually "up_param.bin.lz4" and not "param.bin.lz4" as suggested in the guide, as it's for a different device. You will need the lz4 utility (check Awesomeslayerg's thread, or google lz4 github) to decrypt the lz4 file to a regular bin file, and then you can extract and/or replace the .jpg files using an archiver program (I recommend 7-zip for this).
The hash checksums for every single file/jpg in each up_param.bin were identical between the September and October firmwares. Therefore, at least as of this posting, the same modified Odin-flashable file will work on either firmware version, and likely future versions until they make any significant changes. I did test this myself too btw. Also, if you look at the structure and contents of the up_param.bin file for yourself, you'll see that they are simply .jpg files containing the screens, backgrounds, and text you're all familiar with when going into bootloader / download mode. Assuming they follow the same file naming structure, I suspect you can probably flash this to other variants, although it will change the text language to English (assuming they localize the bootloader / download mode text per every region; I have no idea about this as I only own US variants). To see what I'm talking about, here's a quick screenshot (better resolution pic, and just in case imgur link dies, also attached to this post):
Now that I (hopefully) tricked you into reading this entire section so that you now have some basic understanding of how it works before proceeding to flashing the warning text removal mod, here are the instructions / link for install:
- Download the .tar file provided below.
- Boot device into Download mode.
- Place .tar file into bootloader [BL] slot in Odin and flash.
Download Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10763459528675592179
To revert back to stock splash screen with warning text, for whatever reason:
Pull the stock up_param.bin.lz4 from the stock firmware file (from the BL****.md5 file within the firmware zip).
- Convert it to up_param.bin uzing lz4 utility.
- Add up_param.bin to an archive as .tar file, uncompressed (recommend using 7-zip).
- Flash the .tar file, which should contain only the stock decrypted up_param.bin file, in Download mode using Odin in the BL slot.
I uploaded my custom jpg's, as well as the stock untouched jpg's, for those that are curious or want to edit them further. Feel free to snag them here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320350
* As we can see, we're only modifying the .jpg files provided by up_param.bin, so it's a relatively harmless process (unlike modifying aboot files in the old days of HTC devices, which if done improperly could literally result in an unrecoverable brick). But even so, please only flash if you know what you're doing and can recover from any potential mistakes or errors.

Not sure if there were any changes since the September / October 2020 firmwares, but here's a new one directly modified from the March 2021 (Android 11) firmware base:

And another

Hi,
Thanks for these resources. I'm actually not at these steps yet. I'm having trouble gaining access to the OEM Bootloader Unlock option in developer options. Here are things I've tried already based on what I researched before my attempt.
Android 10 is the current OS installed after unboxing.
1. Disable Automatic Date and time
2. Select a date more than 7 days prior to current date of attempt.
3. Under Settings > About Phone > Software Information. Select/Tap Build Number 7-8 times to unlock Developer Option.
4. Disable Auto Update System (Apply Updates When Device Restarts) - *This was somehow already disabled the first time I entered Developer options*
5. Under Software Updates > Disable Automatic Updates -*This was also already disabled on unboxing and it says Automatically download updates over Wifi. It does not say Automatic Updates*
6. Reboot device and return to Developer Options after booting to OS.
7. The OEM Bootloader Unlock option should appear greyed out at this point. Toggle it to unlock bootloader with consideration that it will wipe the device data.
These are the steps I've found and tried with no success in gaining access to the Bootloader unlock option. I am also certain that my device is the international model SM-P610 with Exynos chipset and Mali-G72 GPU. Something else to note, I did uncheck many default options tied to improving privacy on the device before attempting the steps to gain access to the bootloader unlock option. I do not know if that would make a difference. If you recognize anything wrong with the steps I've tried already, please let me know where I'm going wrong or where I can find the correct way to unlock the bootloader. I've been posting in other threads, but nobody seems to be replying to me. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi
I've flashed your modded file on my PHN (Netherlands), no problems at all working ootb!

Hi. I used blascogm's guide for my P615 with latest firmware for SEC UI 3.1and all are OK! Thanks for all.
Add. I add link . Flash via Odin(BL).
