I have rooted and do I need to do the unroot before flashing it? Is it any way to keep root after flashing?

You do not need to unroot before flashing. If you have CWM or TRWP it is easy to root after flashing.

the flashable rom is out and I downloaded once and wifi/control panel/etc. do not work.
I just follow the instruction to do this and have't restored my data. Even I flashed the patch.
So I wonder if the flashable zip is modified because I am using the original one from this post.
Maybe I need a zip same as the XML.kind but it can be flashable. All I need to do is full wipe and flash the zip.
Don't know why my computer can't use rsd to do this with "1/16 usb error while reading/writing".
Camera update seems great and stability is all I need.

I assume your boot loader is unlocked and you're not using pwnmymoto? Factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache and flash again, problem could be is there's minor differences between each carriers ROM which causes frozen and non working apps and settings. To restore your data just use either titanium or ROM toolbox

can't remove nav-bar
can't mount usb storage - i think it's a build.prop error
superuser goes crazy at times - will replace with supersu
usual teamsupernova bugs
Installation instructions - same as LINics
Unzip rom and have the boot.img handy
Put the rom zip into the root of the sdcard.
Flash the rom using CWM. If you don't have it, please flash a custom kernel. (I recommend terrasilent)
When you're in CWM6, reflash the rom again.
After the second flash, flash the gapps zip.
Wipe your data.
Reboot into download mode and flash a GB kernel. (preferably the one you had before)
Reboot again into download mode after getting into CWM5.
Flash the boot.img with heimdall at the KERNEL partition
Note: If you're switching between versions or builds, there are simpler installation instructions:
flash this kernel with heimdall
boot into recovery
wipe cache + dalvik
install rom and gapps
Enjoy!

FYI, Theraf you may have figured this out already but just incase and so everyone else knows if you flash the CM9 or LinICS and set the setting for USB storage then flash the way you described in the quoted post (NOT doing a wipe data/factory reset) you retain the use of the USB storage.
So here are the fixes for the nav bar and usb storage, just copy and paste into the build.prop
# Softkeys
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
# Mass Storage. You can change to mtp
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage

Thanks! So we can flash this on top of our existing rooted AT&T phone using Safe Strap after clearing cache and dalvik cache?
just created a slot and installed. I assume this will not be rooted and can't be since the patch was applied to block pwnmymoto.
I can't get wifi to work though. going to disable wifi on stock slot to see if that works the next time.
so the second flash on rom slot 1 with wifi disabled on stock before flashing didn't change the outcome. Looks like it would work great if wifi would work but the rooting thing i'm concerned about. What would be the outcome to install this over the stock rom?

I guess being the test subject doesn't pay off. What a mess I keep having! After several reboots on customizing, I got the normal boot loops. 30 min later after erasing user data and restoring from a twrp backup and it failing. It surprisingly booted. Safe strap is beta for a reason I suppose. I'm staying away for now!

WiFi still doesn't work, so I guess it is a problem with the ROM and not SS. SS has been updated to fix WiFi, and I tested it to be sure WiFi worked.
On the bright side, flashing the SuperUser zip does give you root, so once WiFi is fixed, this will be an easy way to get the upgrade and still have root. Messing with OTA RootKeeper is too iffy, IMO.
1) I do not have a Note Edge 915K, so I cannot test this package. I used a kitchen to build the zip, so you will have to see if it works.
2) This may very well brick your phone. You hold me harmless if you choose to proceed.
3) Make a full nandroid backup before proceeding.
4) Have the factory tar ready to Odin if it soft bricks. You can download it here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473398706
5) I used the above tar to build the zip. The zip does not wipe /data. If you're already on NK5, you should be able to dirty flash.
6) The zip package is zipaligned, deodexed, rooted, and startup sound disabled. It also includes the NK5 modem in the flash package.
7) The SuperSU is an older version. You may need to flash the SuperSU 2.16 update zip from this thread after you flash the ROM zip to achieve full root.
I only did this because someone requested it. Let me know if it works.
Download Link
As it turns out @scoobysnack had already build a flashable with everything above + the latest SuperSU. I did mine because I misunderstood what he meant.
His ROM is here
Please thank him for his work (his post is immediately below this one).
Be advised--like me, he cannot test the ROM, so take all precautions.
Edit December 16 2014: It looks like either mediafire is not working or scoob took down the link. I restored my link. See above. You can try that one.

As always, have a full backup and be prepared to roll back to stock and lose your config/data. Worst case, there is always a brick possibility when you flash. Again, I was unable to test the ROM. Do reply to the post and let me know if it worked.

You flash zips using CWM, not Odin. No, you do not need to wipe. Just make sure you follow all the directions, including backup and restore via Odin if necessary. Pay attention to step 7. Again, I haven't tested this.

Hi, this is Jiiro.
I have finally finished compiling and testing out this LineageOS custom ROM for the SM-T350.
You may have seen @andr0idfr3ak's post on LineageOS for the SM-T350 (mine is updated).
I am now going to announce that I am going to be the maintainer for the SM-T350 development of LineageOS for now.
More custom ROMs are coming through!
Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T350 8-Inch Tablet (16 GB, Titanium)
SM-T350 XAR GT58WIFIXX/GT58WIFI
Known bugs:
External Audio not working
Camera
Things that work:
Internal Audio does work (For example, using headphones)
Bluetooth Audio does work
Download Links:
Latest as of August 1, 2018
Latest Updato Firmware
Latest Unofficial LineageOS
Latest TWRP from Ashyx
Latest ODIN
*Note: I don't know if ********** is trusted, I downloaded it and ran it and had no problems whatsoever
Steps:
1) Get ODIN
2) Go to Download mode on your Samsung device
3) Flash TWRP
4) In TWRP go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe and click on
a) Dalvik / ART Cache
b) System
c) Data
d) Internal Storage
e) Cache
5) Go to Download mode after that
6) Go back on your ODIN and flash the firmware from Updato
7) After that happens, go back to Download mode and flash TWRP again
8) Do Step 4 and after that move onto Step 9
9) Have ADB on your machine, be in TWRP while this happens
10) Go to Advanced > ADB Sideload
11) On your computer type
Code:
adb sideload [Destination of your LineageOS .zip]
12) You're done! It will take about 5 minutes to boot.
Sorry if the guide is confusing, I will try to rephrase them again later.

Well let's see if we can help you out. What ROM were you on first and what firmware were you also on. I'm on nougat firmware but I usually run ghost ROM Android 6 with with permissive kernel. Also I used twrp 3.2.1 from Android freak on XDA somewhere.
Here's what I did
Flash twrp 3.2.1 in twrp from smt355 3.1 extracted image and flashed image to recovery partition in twrp not Odin.
I was on nougat firmware but running ghost project marshmallow .
I wiped data , cache, system not internal.
Flashed lineage zip with pico open gapps 8.1 arm.
Let it boot up for 5 to 10 minutes and worked.

Let me add if you guys use twrp 3.2.1 make sure to not wipe your efs or restore it just use system, data, boot backup and restore if you do mess up the efs I have the fix on XDA if you get invalid mount and it won't boot up .
Do you have to sideload lineage OS or can you install via Twrp?
Also, is there a problem with the default camera app? Can you install like,open camera or Google camera? Or does it just not work at all? And internal/external audio. Do you mean headphones will or won't work? And would installing different audio drivers like Viper or something fix it?
Sorry, just want to know before I install. ?

I was doing everything using Twrp 3.1 sm-t355. Im on stock nougat 7.1.1 CQJ5 8/1/17 security patch, so basically the latest official from Samsung.
I will try using your method to see if it works. I'll update twrp to 3.2.1and not wipe internal storage.
I appreciate the reply and help. Thanks :good:

Were you able to install twrp 3.2.1 it should work fine with stock nougat. Did you try flashing lineage again? Its really stable and boots right.
I recommend trying pico gapps first

Bluetooth and headphones work no external speaker. I tried different audio mods viper and it works with Bluetooth or headphones wired but no external speaker. Camera I can't remember I don't ever use it.

I posted link to twrp 3.2.1 if you need it on this thread.
Flash twrp 3.2.1
Wipe dalvik/art cache, data, cache, and system in twrp
Flash lineage rom
Flash gapps reboot
Wait 10 minutes sometimes it's slow
I'm on nougat firmware 7.1.1 CQJ1.
But it should work on you're firmware if not downgrade to mine and try that.
I don't update firmware or security patches unless its a Android upgrade like nougat to Oreo. The reason why is because I notice the google security patches always close up rooting and other things and don't really offer anything.

Nothing Man :crying: I tried your method and it didn't work. I flashed TWRP 3.2.1 on TWRP 3.1 and i keep getting the black screen. I downgraded the firmware and repeated all the steps and nothing. I'm running out of options... I also understand and know everything about the security patches but i got the tablet last weekend like that. My luck
I know TWRP 3.2.1 and lineage OS install correctly and I think they boot up because i can hear and see the tablet connecting to PC.... It's just that the screen is all black for some reason

Yes I've heard of that you need to shine a bright light on you're screen or turn up you're brightness on you're google account I've noticed that I shut of live display and adaptive lighting on all my phones and google saves my account information so when I load my ROM and account for the first time it automatically sets brightness. It did work you're right the screen brightness is the problem others have had this.

I put my phone's flashlight and i could see the lineage set up but I've tried everything to get it to light up to full and it won't. Same for TWRP. I don't know what to do.

You need to go into twrp setting's and you'll see a row of options at the top click the 3 rd option its brightness and screen time out. On the ROM you go into settings and turn off the automatic brightness and set it

If someone knows how to turn up brightness with adb or something please do share. I understand it's hard to work with if you can't see the screen options.

Flash twrp with twrp or Odin?
And if it's twrp do you extract the .tar file?
Okay! I installed it! Now can someone please tell me how to turn on the backlight? I tried the brightness thing bit the backlight still stays off.
Would another kernal fix it?

I did this in both TWRP and lineage O.S, brightness won't change. My brother told it could be kernel related but i dont understand why it works for some and black screens for others
Instructions For Installing Pie Roms
Please Note This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. As Of Now There Is Still No Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. This Takes Some Patience To InstallNote8 SM-N950U/U1/W Install Instructions And Files
If you didnt upgrade to V8 bootloaders using odin. I recommend flashing full stock firmware with V8 bootloaders even if you are already on V8 bootloader via OTA update. I feel that maybe something in the OTA from V7 bootloaders to V8 may have corrupted a bootloader file and some people have experienced bricks with trying to update to V8 bootloaders from V7 using the below method so I recommend flashing full stock V8 firmware in Odin before trying this method and just understand there has been a risk of bricking device. Full stock can be found on Sammobile or updato or any other service you can find it. You will have to reroot of course. If you Updated to V8 bootloaders using odin method already then no need to do so again
Download
N950USQS8DVB1_SAFESTRAP.7z
Google_Pixel_Experience_Pie_8_Seriers.zip
Flash after you flash the system image above with a data wipe
After setup you need to set google dialer as default call app
Install Instructions Safestrap Method New Install Or Base Update
Make Sure The Latest Samsung Drivers Are Installed. They Can Be Found Here
You Must have safestrap installed to get safestrap follow the guide located below
Root And Safestrap For Note8 Up To V7 Bootloaders
1. If on V6 bootloaders before starting the process. If on V6 Pie rom reboot to download and flash the BL_N950USQS8DTG3_LEAVE_SAFESTRAP.tar.md5 then reboot this will put you on V8 bootloaders before starting
2. Copy SYSTEM_****.img to your internal sdcard. Reboot to safestrap In Safestrap choose install then choose select storage and select internal storage click ok then at bottom choose install image and choose SYSTEM_****.img then select flash to system image then swipe to flash. You can flash any mod zips at this time after you flash system image. Then in wipe tab chose wipe then advance wipe then wipe data
3. To leave safestrap reboot to bootloader or download from reboot tab.
4. In odin load BL_N950USQS7DTE5.tar.md5 in BL slot and
HOME_CSC_OYN_N950U_CACHE.tar.md5 in CSC slot flash phone will reboot to recovery and wipe cache then reboot
Instructions To Enter And Exit Safestrap After Initial Install. To Flash A Zip And Etc.
1. To enter safetrap flash the BL_RNTER_SAFESTRAP_N950UDTE5_V7.tar.md5 in BL Slot in odin phone will boot too safestrap sometimes it may take a minute to do so
2. To leave safestrap reboot to download from safestrap reboot menu

Mod Zips
SM_N950U_Mods_Safestrap_PIE.zip This will add call recording and a few other features to your csc
View attachment Adaway_Blocking_No_Root_Pie.zip
Install zip in safestrap
boot phone back up to system
you will have 2 apps in your apps drawer Host Adblocking and Stock Adblocking
too enable adblocking run the Host Adblocking app it may require rebooting phone to work
too disable adblocking run Stock Adblocking this probably will not require a reboot
what this does is move the system/etc/hosts file to the internal storage of your phone then I symliink the one in the internal storage to the system/etc/host file this way the file can be changed back and forth . If you would wipe data in stock recovery however you would need to reflash the zip in safetrap as a data wipe would delete the host file since it is now located on internal storage
Asking for clarity on the 80% bug. Is that bug only present if you are rooting the device? Is that a specific partition that gets modified that causes that bug that is only modified during the root process? Does this method without rooting the device also have the 80% bug with it?
Kind regards,
Cyrano
It's not a bug

Been having issues with the N950USQS7DTA5_SAFESTRAP.rar filed in post #1. Doesn't unrar or unzip. Maybe it's just on my end but has anyone successfully used and accessed this file? I have tried downloading it twice to no avail.
EDIT: Looks like changing the version of 7zip I was initially using (version 19) to an older one (version 16) did the trick. No more unrar unzip issues.
What if you are already on the latest bootloader ? Also will I then be able to install an adbocker ?

Once you get safestrap installed you can start on number 2 in the directions but its fine to do step 1 even if you are on latest bootloader. I do have an adblock for non rooted pie rom

Actually, please confirm since I was running stock pie on BL7, and now I am on rooted nougat, all I need to do is reboot to safestrap, and wipe data / factory reset and then flash the DTA5_system.img .
Thanks for all this ... miss the flashing days.

If you want root you have to use the rooted nougat rom in the root thread. This rom is not rooted but still has safestrap so you can still flash mod zips and delete system apps. So why do you need to disable knox? I mean on this rom you could delete it if you want but that will break Samsung pay and pass

I tried this rom. Removed samsung camera pie app, install a nougat camera app which i like but it won't work, which for me is deal breaker on this pie rom. The camera is always top priority feature on phone these days.
There's something very very special about camera app that samsung want to control it and its quality and we can never revert back to its original quality in android 7.1.1 even with some "hacking" like this. why make things so hard then i will make thing hard to buy you
Thank you for your work but i am afraid i use samsung phone again
