I'm sorry, I think my words were very basic. It's a language translation problem. maybe i meant. "If I'm lucky, perhaps in the future, you'll have time to make the ROM for the phone version I use"
Sorry but I never had a snapdragon device. Chances to do a br for it are very slim.
The rom have been updated to latest Oct FW AVI7

Nice, thank you!
So, considering the installation instructions, does that mean we need to go to AVI7 firmware in order to flash your ROM, or what is the situation when updating the ROM? I'm on your first build.
yes, you need to flash first stock AVI7 fw + twrp_patched_vbmeta in USERDATA slot, reboot to twrp and flash BR16

So most likely it will result in a data wipe. Till now I didn't succeed to flash stock ROM without wiping. (Works fine in TAB S7 + and S8U) but kills my data in S22u even when using the home csc.
Thanks anyways.
If you use HOME_CSC when you flash stock, it will preserve your data

maybe because of flashing TWRP with the vbmeta patch? disabling encryption formats data partitions, doesn't it

if you use stock fmw rooted you can update firmware using home csc without wiping data
if you are using beyond rom make sure you use latest twrp from afaneh92 android file host
if you still have data encrypted you need to flash twrp+ vbmeta, format data and reboot to twrp. after this you can flash beyond rom and no need to format data anymore
great rom Andrei
using with my s22+
0 bugs, everything is running smooth
good job
Hi, this rom is really awesome, is it possible to flash the "Loki Kernel" on it...?

Since this gets rid of some Knox stuff, is it possible to then use the Samsung health app with a tripped knox?

Is it the latest one though? Or is it the older one that worked with a tripped knox?
Edit: yeah I looked and it is, cool thanks man
For many years I have been using exynos samsung galaxy cellphones. For reasons I dont know Samsung decided to make the S22 series for latinamerica with a snapdragon chip. Even when I should be happy cause snapdragon its said that is faster than exynos, I cannot keep having BR. Its a pity.

NOTE:
This may be a dead duck in the water before it even installs due to the fact Samsung currently seem to be locking bootloaders on all recent devices even devices with previously unlocked bootloaders.

Hello @ashyx, I have made a guide based on your thread: http://techbeasts.com/install-twrp-recovery-root-galaxy-a8-plus-2018/
Just wanted to notify.
Sucks that no one is reporting anything, but tbh in europe it seems that only the A8 (A530f) has been released so far.
Do you think it would be easy to port for that model ? I think there's a couple of us waiting for this port, would be much appreciated and would test it asap.

Yep it seems Samsung are forcing the use of their own MTP driver in the kernel as I couldn't disable it.
And it continues, now 2.2k views and 199 downloads and still not one downloader could be bothered to post.

Well samsung mtp isn't in a8+ defconfig i just looked. So post your device tree and the partition layout and fstab from stock kernel and I will see if I can help.

I know it isn't which is why it isn't included.
Seems like they are forcing their own driver.
There is probably a way to fix it by modifying the make files, but I won't spend any more time on it until people can be bothered to take the time to respond.

TWRP is an open source, community project. A custom recovery is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom “ROM” like LineageOS or OmniROM.

I'm not sure
I confirmed It worked on Galaxy M30s, Thanks @santhoosh for developing it, to boot system with magisk we must Reboot to RECOVERY, I think you need to edit it on the top page. I have created video for rooting it and proofing that it worked. Security protection worked with no issue.

This TWRP is only for ASL2 Firmware, November update. You can try it.. if something goes wrong or failed, just flash the ROM to make it works again.. so i suggest you to download the firmware before root.. I can not answer it.. it works or not, I don't have the model number on my hand..

It works , everything goes right as the tutorial , I have the magisk installed properly.
But I used the magisk manager to install the riru-core and EdXposed , after a reboot , the exposed didn't show up , at the same time the magisk has gone ( magisk manage says there is no magisk onboard ).
So I boot my phone to download mode and flash TWRP_ASL2_MagiskPatched.tar via odin agian , then to TWRP format data and flashing Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_01.15.2020.zip , but it does't work , there is still no magisk .
Any suggestion ?

You must Reboot to recovery, if it does not work. You must start at the beginning by flashing the stock ROM, format data will not solve the problem.. I have experienced about that. for Xposed framework I will test it, it may be you missed a step..

Everytime you reboot normally the system without magisk will be loaded, to enable magisk on boot 'turn off device, press and hold [vol + & power] release both keys when screen turns on. This will enable magisk on boot and this is how it works for devices like ours which have system as root. And edxposed I have tested it before having bootloop issues, it might or might not work

Hi all! I should have posted this years ago but anyways... This rom is made due to the fact that there is no bug-free rom for Galaxy J8, not even any development going on. So, I decided to de-bloat the latest stock firmware, polish it a bit, configure some settings and fix some of the issues.
Twrp and Root Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-twrp-j810f-g-m-y-gf-j8y18lte.4479201/
WORKING
Everything that works on stock rom, including VOLTE.
NOT WORKING
Nothing.
CHANGELOG
Read the "!!! READ ME FIRST !!!" text inside the Google Drive folder.
BLOATWARE LIST
Read the "More Info About Bloatwares" pdf file inside the Google Drive folder.
INSTRUCTIONSHOW TO MAKE A CLEAN INSTALLATION (WARNING! YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE -pictures, songs, downloads, files, apps etc.-)
1. Install/Update TWRP (use v3.5.0) (big thanks go to goldfish07)
2. Create backup, INCLUDING VENDOR (everything you need - including your files in internal storage - use an external storage if possible)
3. Reboot into TWRP. Navigate to Wipe/Format Data type yes and apply it. Then, go to Wipe-Advanced Wipe, select ONLY these "Dalvik/Art Cache - System - Vendor - Data - Cache" and format them.
4. Copy "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" to your internal or external storage and flash it.
5. Reboot and enjoy! (it might say "NO OS INSTALLED", it is normal when you format system from advanced wipe and then install the zip, just swipe and system will start) (first boot may take a couple of minutes, please be patient, YOU WILL ONLY SEE THE "SAMSUNG LOGO", NOT the animation and it is NORMAL)
HOW TO MAKE A DIRTY INSTALLATION (ONLY IF YOU ARE COMING FROM ANOTHER VERSION OF DEBLOATED ROM) (YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY DATA)
1. Open "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" using the latest version of "WinRAR" on pc or the latest version of "RAR" on Android.
2. Go inside the "data" folder and delete the 3 folders (adb, app, system). Do not delete the "local" folder.
3. Copy the "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" to your phone.
4. Reboot into TWRP.

While system update check, it also verifies your display originality. If you change your display on untouched stock rom, it will be permanently disabled unfortunately. You should have upgraded to debloated rom or disabled system update apps so that you could keep using changed display. There is no luck fortunately. (you cannot downgrade to Android 9 to solve the issue because bootloader does not allow that)
This and the "More info about bloatwares" is great, thanks for all your efforts. The device is finally usable without stutter even when scrolling.
But there is a small thing -> I think you should remove default magisk so that it can be installed with app and be able to update.

You're welcome. I configured some of the Magisk settings so that you do not need to do anything so as to be able to successfully pass SafetyNet. Additionally, If I remove default installation of Magisk as an app, stub app will give you error while downloading the app unfortunately. Lastly, Magisk v24.3 is the latest working version for J8. Magisk v25.x versions will bootloop the device. Therefore, do not attempt to update Magisk. Considering these issues, I decided to include Magisk and its configurations. If you still want to remove it, open "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" using the latest version of "WinRAR" on pc or the latest version of "RAR" on Android. Go inside the "data" folder and delete the 2 folders (adb, app). Then flash the .zip.

You can uninstall it from Magisk homepage "Uninstall Magisk". The system may not boot without Magisk. Keep this in mind.

Hi all,
i was kinda bored and sick of no Custom ROM development for our beloved S6 so i thought i'd try using a GSI and i've got it booting so i thought i would share the instructions!
As usual all care no responsibility! Nothing here is without risk.
Android 13
5 March 2023 Security Patch Level
1. Unlock your bootloader. (Very easy to do - https://www.hardreset.info/devices/...-s6/faq/bootloader-unlock/samsung-bootloader/)
2. Download the official vbmeta image provided by TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/vbmeta.tar.html
3. Download TWRP https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs6qcomwifi.html
4. Open Odin
5. Put VBMETA.TAR in the CP Slot & TWRP in AP slot and flash. On reboot hold down the Pwr/Up button so it boots straight into TWRP or sometimes it can be overwritten.
3. Format Data, reboot back into TWRP and Full Factory Reset . (Take a backup if you need one).
4. Transfer the LoS image file to the tablet via TWRP then Flash the LoS image through TWRP (System Partition) lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img (or whichever ARM64 flavour you like) from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-td/
(might need to use the adb push command to copy the file across) adb push filename.extension /sdcard
5. Flash magisk if you like.
6. Reboot to system and enjoy!
i used the one above which includes GAPPS though there are ones that don't if you prefer
I only just finished installing though - quick summary:
Working:
Fingerprint!
Hardware Buttons
SDCard
Wifi
Bluetooth
Gapps and Google Setup
Tablet is very fast!
Charging
USB File Transfer
Audio
Video out for USB-C
Auto-rotate
GPS
Official Samsung Keyboard Physically attached working fine too!
Themes
Colours
Mic
SPen
Not Working:
Only bottom speakers work
SafetyNet
Workarounds:
To pass SafetyNet (BASIC):
Flash Magisk in TWRP
Use Magiskhide
Turn on Zygist
Install Displax modified SafetyNet-Fix from link below;
hxxps://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.4.0-MOD_1.2
Configure your Denylist in Magisk for Google Play Store and Services apps. (And anything else you need to not detect root).
To Fix Brightness:
Go to Settings - Phh - Misc Features - Tick the box for "Use Linear Brightness Slider"
To Help with Fingerprint:
Turn off taskbar in Settings to help alignment with Fingerprint scanner
Hope we can get some community effort behind this so we can bring this tablet back into support since Samsung gave up on it..

Thanks so much for this!
I have built LOS for a couple unsupported devices in the past and would love to dedicate as much time and resources as needed to this project.
Could you share which build trees were used from Github and the extracted blobs?
I would like to replicate this build and put in a request with LOS developer stinX for an official one.

I am not sure mate about the GIT and Blobs. These are GSI so "generic" so they may not have them. From my understanding they work with the existing Vendor image and take advantage of Treble to ensure everything works.

There are quite a lot of tweaks available in the PHH settings. I suggest you play around in there and you may get both sets of speakers working. I will do the same
I have added it to "Not Working" section.

I should add i think this is MUCH faster than stock and battery life is looking great too!
I am happy there are some other people who are using this GSI on a Tab S6. I installed it some time ago and am very satisfied!
Some things I found:
Fingerprint XY coordinates are somehow off. Specifically, the symbol showing on screen and the actual reader are not on the same place. I think it is related to the app bar somehow, since it seems to be off by that. I think this could be fixed by an overlay.
Auto-brightntess is not available as well. Either use an app for that, or don´t use it. This can also be fixed by an overlay as far as I know.
Maybe it is also possible to get the top speakers working by making an overlay? I am not sure regarding this, however.
Obviously, DolbyAtmos is not included. However, I think there exists a Magisk Module. Maybe it would also be possible to integrate this into an overlay? This would be amazing
I am very new to the custom ROM/GSI scene. So, my experience with overlays and so on is basically none. However, I would try to contribute as good as I can if someone feels ready to create an overlay and then getting it implemented into the GSI.
Anyone interested in cooperating?

I will try to do that as well...lets see.
I would explicitly add to the working section that the spen works and also pressure sensitivity of the spen works! At least in the Saber Handwritten Notes app which I use. This is amazing.

Didn`t you patch the vbmeta.img, or did you flash the multidisabler zip?
Somehow, one has to disable verified boot such that you can even boot LineageOS...as far as I know!

Nope. Started from stock. Literally unlocked bootloader right before moving to GSI. Just like the steps above.
I did install Magisk which may help disable verified boot though

Ah, that might make the difference! So I think it is worth to mention to either install Magisk, or to patch the vbmeta.img in order to boot. If coming from stock with the stock vbmeta.img, then Android Verified Boot will not allow booting into a different ROM.

The device gets stuck like this and won't boot anymore, but you can get it back to normal by flashing the recovery.img from your firmware files (It's in AP)
You cannot install TWRP on the Galaxy Tab S6 without fixing the vmbeta.img issue.
I tried with the latest Samsung firmware downloaded via SamFirm and an older one.
@m0byn: Do you know what needs to be done with the vmbeta.img on this device, to allow for TWRP to be flashed?
I have found many different prescribed solutions such as patching boot.img with Magisk or just the vmbeta.img , but nothing seems to work.
Tablet, search my post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t865-rooting-with-android-12-bootloop-and-error.4452641/ and try
Hey man, thank you for the suggestion. That post seems to be about Magisk and rooting.
The problem here is the vmbeta.img.
According to older posts from 2021 this can be resolved by flashing vbmeta_disabled.tar , but the latest 2022 version of TWRP should no longer require this. It's weird.
I am sorry. I thought something went wrong when you patched the firmware with Magisk
Probably flashing Magisk automatically patches the vbmeta.img. Not sure though.
Follow the steps below. This is how I did it. It worked.
I am assuming a stock recovery in this process. If you already installed TWRP just try if it works as well. not sure if this is impacting the process.
Unpack firmware using 7Zip tool
Unpack AP.tar.md5 using 7Zip tool
Unpack vbmeta.img.lz4 using 7Zip-ZS tool
Open file in FrhedPortable (HEX editor) to patch it
Go to offset (block) 123 and write 03 and save
Compress vbmeta.img to vbmeta.img.tar using 7Zip tool
Connect device via USB to computer
Hold volume up & volume down buttons
Press volume up button to proceed to download mode
Open Odin -> verify whether device number is added
Untoggle "auto-reboot" in options
Select AP section
Choose patched vbmeta.img.tar file
Click start to flash
When flashing process is done: hold power & volume down button to exit and power off device
IMPORTANT: as soon as device shuts off immediately release volume down button and press volume up button to enter recovery mode
Click factory reset
Click reboot to bootloader
Thanks @m0byn I managed to figure it out with your help.
For anyone else facing the same problem, here is what you need to do:
Download the official vbmeta image provided by TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/vbmeta.tar.html
Proceed to flash with Odin.
Put the TWRP recovery image in AP and vbmeta.tar in the CP slot.
After this you can boot into the TWRP recovery normally, but for some reason any changed settings in TWRP are not saved. So everytime I reboot into TWRP recovery all previously selected TWRP settings are lost. I wonder if that's normal, but everything else seems to work.
Next step will be flashing the Lineage GSI, i'll keep you guys posted.

Hi everybody, I have been looking for a way to get an official version of Vanilla Android 14 on the Tab S6 for and wanted to make sure the community finally had access to a fully working and sufficiently detailed guide.
This ROM improves battery life by 200%, it's absolutely insane.
Every source, link or file referenced in this guide is 100% official and safe.
Cheers!
Download Firmware + Extract:
Install SamFirm and download the latest firmware for the Tab S6.
(You will also need to install Visual Studio C++ 8 & 9 for this software to function properly)
SamFirm Tool
Download the latest version of SamFirm Tool, which helps you download the Samsung Stock Firmware (ROM) for free.
samfirmtool.com
Install 7Zip and extract the firmware zip.
Then open the CSC file with 7zip and extract the PIT.
Unlock Bootloader
Enable Developer Options and turn on OEM Unlocking
Disconnect USB/power cables and turn your device OFF
Hold both Volume buttons (do not press Power) and plug in the USB cord connected to your PC
The download/unlock screen should come up immediately. Select the option for device unlock mode.
Download TWRP:
Download the official TWRP and vbmeta image
TWRP > https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs6qcomwifi.html
vbmeta > https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/vbmeta.tar.html
Download Official AOSP / Android 14 Image:
The official Android 14 (or 13/12/11) GSI is available on Google's developer page and needs to be extracted via 7zip. (This will also contain a vbmeta.img but disregard it)
(GMS = Gapps | No GMS = Vanilla | FLOSS = Open Source Apps Only)
(Make sure to get a arm64 version) https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/gsi-release-notes.html
If you prefer the consumer grade "prettier" version of AOSP, you can also download one of the arm64 images provided by phhusson on Github, who exclusively uses official sources code, as well.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
You can also download one of the official daily builds directly from the ACI Project's master-branch (Android Continuous Integration) which represents the literal bleeding edge of AOSP straight from Android : https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-master/grid?
Flashing Firmware with Odin
Download Odin Flash Tool from a safe source.
Odin - Download
Odin: Samsung-Geräte rooten und flashen - Kostenloser Download für ✓ Windows
www.netzwelt.de
Put the Tab S6 in Download Mode by pressing both Volume Up + Volume Down, while simultaneously connecting the USB cable. (The tablet needs to be off)
Open Odin and add the Firmware Files to the appropriate slots
BL > BL , AP > AP, CSC > CSC
Then click on PIT and add the previously extracted PIT file
Lastly click options and select Nand Erase, Re-Partition, while unselecting Auto Reboot
Flashing TWRP & vbmeta with Odin
After successfully flashing hold down Power Button + Volume Down for 7 seconds but be ready to immediately hold down Volume up + Volume Down to re-enter Download Mode.
(USB Cable needs to be connected at all times)
(If you missed your chance and it's booting, hold down Power Button + Volume down to reset and try again)
Once back in Download Mode click Reset in Odin
Deselect Auto Reboot in the Options again
Then add the TWRP image in AP and vbmeta.tar in the CP slot.
Wiping Cache & Partitions
After flashing hold down Power Button + Volume for 7 seconds and immediately hold down Power Button + Volume Up the entire time until you see TWRP.
Once inside TWRP wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache in the Advanced Wipe menu. Subsequently re-enter the wipe menu, select Format Data and type yes.
After this (USB cable still connected) make sure the Internal Storage is mounted and transfer the system.img (extracted from the AOSP GSI zip) to the tablet
Finishing Up
In TWRP click Install, select the system.img and choose system image.
Flash it, Reboot to System and your DONE!

Many, many thanks for this.. If i understand correctly, we can choose the android 13 file which includes gaps, so to have Google services?
Also there must be an error. The pit file is in CSC file and not in AP file.
Il try it, I'll post the results when i do it.
Thanks again!
I just installed it. Working fine. It does have gaps and playstore and it is vanila android, doesn't have samsung ui.
I suppose i can install in twrp magisk to root it.
After i flashed twrp and restarted, it didn't boot in twrp, but all screen had an error message with yellow txt, something about microsd (which i didn't had). I restarted again to boot in twrp, and this time it did boot in twrp, so i did flash image.
Thanks again!
Anyone knows how to root it?
After flashing system image from android 13, twrp is deleted as i understand. Trying to boot in recovery, it boots to normal recovery, not twrp.
I flashed in odin again only twrp and vbmeta
(TWRP image in AP and vbmeta.tar in the CP slot.). Only those files i used, I'm not sure if this is correct. Anyway, i booted in twrp this time. I couldn't find download folder where i had magisk.zip to flash, trying to root, so i finally just restarted the tablet. It booted ok, but when i tryed again to boot in twrp, it booted in normal recovery again, not twrp.
---If anyone can show me the contact steps to install twrp and root..
--- Aslo in this 13 rom, there isn't fingerprint scanner. Is there any way (xposed, something) to install it?
Thanks!
Although rom is fantastic, with excellent battery life, Ulunfortunately i found a bug which is important for me. Only the 2 right speakers work. The other 2 dont. If some time in the future there is a fix to this, it would be much appreciated. Until then, i have to go to android 12 original..

Additionally, you can also try the arm64 image from ACI's master-branch. This is literally straight from Android and built/updated hourly.
https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-master/grid?
I just flashed the one that was released this morning and all four speakers work.

Which version/build did you use? Also, for updates, does the system>update function within the room work or does the full zip file need to be flashed each time?

As for your question about updates, it depends on whether your device supports seamless system updates. The SM-T860 and SM-T865 do not support it.

GMS = Google apps included
The regular arm64 image is Vanilla Android without Gapps.
You can also grab daily gsi builds from ci.android.com
Android 14 is brand new, so it's not perfectly stable but definitely usable.
In the title you have Android 14.. though then in Post #1 you have Android 13?
I did try 14 though they brightness did not work properly? and the it kept freezing? You said "Android 14 is brand new, so it's not perfectly stable but definitely usable." which version did you use? Cause the one i tried definately wasn't
Hello ,
Thank you for sharing the info
I have checked Rom and answered my own questions .
Widevine is L3 (so only 480p on Netflix)
Performance in Hearthstone is way better .
Unfortunately for me only bottom speakers works , i have checked both 14 and 13 beta
When using spen or Samsung keyboard pointer is set to vertical orientation when tablet is in Horizontal position ,
So they are unusable .
Cannot relock boatloader since it is erroring out on the VBmeta
Hello!
Has anyone rooted now?
How about updates?
Can I just play it like that? I'm currently on Android 13...
Is there any way to use Samsung Apps like SNotes?
Thats the only thing I would need from OneUI

Thanks, fixed.
The Preview version on Google's main GSI site is unstable. You need to get the latest build on ci.android.com
They are literally building and releasing new artifatcs every 30 minutes.
Also, do you know where to get a Disabler for force encryption on Android 13 for the tab s6? Can't find anything.

Sure. Just download the Magisk APK from Github.
Install the Magisk APK, then extract the boot.img from your firmware files. Transfer the boot.img to your tablet, patch it with Magisk and then flash this patched img in TWRP choosing the boot option. There are tons of guides for this online.
No updates bc the tab S6 does not support seamless updates. You have to flash new versions. But its super fast because you just flash system and ur good.

Yes. I don't trust APKMirror so what I do is install the stock ROM from the latest samfirm firmware. Root it. Install File Commander, or any other root file manager.
Then navigate to /data/app and grab the Samsung Notes APK. All other apps are stored in this directory BTW. Then just install the APK once you flashed AOSP GSI

If you still want to keep using Samsung apps under a different OS like this one (AOSP, A14) install the Magisk module " Xmlpak a road to vendor apps".
After reboot, the Samsung apps you want to use again should show up in the app store for you to install. If not you can use APKMirror to download the APKs. Contrary to what a user posted above, this site is more than safe and verified.
