So I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 SM-T350.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to get it rooted, as well as to back up the stock ROM. I'm pretty new new to android, so I'd like to make sure that I'm able to reverse any software-related damage I might inadvertently do to the tablet, but mostly I'm just looking to root it - and if I can only get it rooted, then I'll just avoid software related fiddling until I find out how to back up the rom. I'm presently running 5.0.2 lollipop.
Thank you for the help!
I too have a 5.0.2 LP and it is easy to root without a PC. Try Googling Kingo Root, v 3.2 is the latest as of now. Back-up first. To point you in the right direction take a look at forums covering T350 root and recovery. Also, Odin and get a laptop.
Glad for you. Me? I apparently killed my older SMT 350 trying to root it. Now I can't get the stock firmware back on, I don't have root, and the tab is pretty much bricked. I can't even turn the thing off! I used Odin (which I've successfully used before several times) but the root gods were not with me. Anyone have any idea how I can unscrew this? I bought it in 2017 or so.
I'm looking for some help/advice. I did search and didn't find anything on this although I would think it would have been covered before so my apologies if I missed it and it's already been answered.
I'm currently running Stang5Litre 5.0 OC1 V2 which I installed with Flashfire and I'm having a lot of issues with Good For Enterprise and it's root check. I can get it to work with Xposed as long as I stay on an old version of Good, but I've had two accidental upgrades that triggered a compliance failure and it's a long process with my work to get a new pin to get it going again. Using the detach from market in Titanium doesn't stick. I'm also interested in using Android Pay and can't get that to work at all. So I'm now considering getting rid of root. There isn't that much I do anymore that truly requires a rooted phone other than I really like being able to get rid of all the bloat and being able to freeze and unfreeze in Titanimum.
So my question is what options do I have? Can i fully unroot a debloated ROM or would I need to flash a stock unrooted OC1 ROM? Also, is the fact that my Samsung boot screen shows as unlocked an issue? I know that simply removing SuperSU isn't enough. I don't want to do anything that is going to prevent me from changing my mind down the road and going back to a rooted ROM which I know means not installing anything after OC1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
After doing a little more research on Good, I think I have no choice but to flash a completely stock unrooted ROM. Apparently it checks too many things to simply remove Root. So what are my options for going back to stock and still keeping the ability to root down the road if I choose?
Thanks
I'm running 47A from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/vs985-46a-stock-flashable-firmware-t3304365
It's got systemless root, I'm using SuperSU and I have TWRP installed. No xposed.
I really don't want to use xposed/magisk and I'm probably willing to lose root (would be nice if it was temporary vs permanent).
If I uncheck enable superuser in SuperSU and reboot, Android Pay still doesn't work.
So what exactly do I need to do in order to get Android Pay working?

I'm not rooted (anymore), but with bumped TWRP and SuperSU, apparently you can work around this. It appears PokeMon GO is blocking rooted users due to people spoofing their GPS location via Xposed modules, etc. This article explains how to flash something called Magisk that apparently works for both Pokemon GO as well as Android Pay. Again, I'm not rooted so I have no idea if this will work or not, but he lays out the instructions pretty well. I believe that since you are already rooted and bumped with TWRP, and no Xposed, you just need to obtain Magisk and flash from within TWRP.

Hope this helps. I just happen to come across this article in my Feedly feed and remembered reading your post, so hopefully this helps you.
Let us know!

Hi iBolski,
Did you mean to include a link to an article about installing Magisk with an Verizon LG G3?
I've been looking for a way to install a stock unrooted rom for days but have been coming up short. Magisk would be ideal but I can't seem to find any threads that have a stock (unrooted) firmware image or a guide on how to unroot a pre-rooted firmware. I wish a tutorial specifically for a Bumped VS985 existed to set up a stock firmware or other ROM with Magisk because I have been having trouble piecing information together and am nervous about causing problems with my phone!
If anyone else has a Bump'd VS985 Verizon LG G3 with TWRP installed that is either unrooted or have Magisk running successfully with Android Pay or Pokemon GO, please let us know how you did it!
Thanks!!
EDIT: I just noticed that you yourself are running stock unrooted 46A iBolski... do you have TWRP installed or are you fully stock and accepted an OTA? If TWRP, does Android Pay or Pokemon Go work for you? And how'd ya get to where you are?

Sorry about forgetting the link. I updated my previous reply with the article in question.
As to your answer, I do not have TWRP installed. I do have all the official OTAs applied.

Thanks for updating with the link. I did see that guide but am unsure about how to handle it with BUMP and what ROMs it works with.
If anyone else has a stock unrooted ROM or working Magisk with their TWRP/BUMP'd G3... please let us know!

As a follow up to my own post, I was able to pass the SafetyNet check (I used SafetyNet Helper from the Play Store to check) on my CloudyG3 2.5 LG G3 VS985. This was not without it's negatives however (no Xposed or root).
I simply flashed the Xposed Uninstaller and uninstalled the app, then from within the SuperSU app settings selected the option to permanently unroot. I did of course make a nandroid backup before doing this so restoring will not be an issue, but I do now get a green screen / pass to SafetyNet which should mean Android Pay and Pokemon Go will work.

Did you try Magisk at all? I am on Jasmine ROM (Android 5.1.1) and would love a way to still have Root & Xposed, but be able to pass SafetyNet for PokemonGO and Wallet
Question on XDABBEB's VS985 ROM
Considering that this phone will probably see no more OTA's, I'm ready to go back to root, but I don't want to break Android Pay. Also, I'm not going to use Kingroot. Don't trust it. So, I'll TOT back to 10B to flash XDABBEB VS985 ROM. But i have some questions regarding it (I haven't ran a custom ROM in almost a year).
Does anyone know if removing SuperSU from XDABBEB VS985 ROM will allow Android Pay to work? Curious if so, otherwise, I'll probably just stick with my stock 48A unrooted phone in order to keep Android Pay.
I also miss TiBu as my backup tool. Yes, LG Backup is nice and all, but TiBu is so much more flexible, including the scheduled backups that I like to do as well as pushing to my Google Drive for backing up the files. Also, TiBu doesn't store it in one giant backup file. I really wish LG Backup would store each app as a separate file, rather than one giant, humongous file. Also, if I do upgrade to a new phone that's not LG, LG Backup won't work for me, so I'll need TiBu (and of course, I have to make sure the new phone is rootable).
Thanks!
While I have not tried this (I plan to try magisk later this week) supposedly Reddit says we can use this bump script after applying magisk in order to make everything will boot. I'm reading mixed comments about if/which certain bootloader is needed to have this work (KitKat vs Lollipop vs Marshmallow) or which ROM to start with as a base (though I saw CM 13 mentioned). If anyone tries this, let me know. I'll post my results in the coming days.
Hi folks,
Can anyone tell me how I can get my NEM-L51-C432-375 back to its original state so I can use Google Pay?
I've played around with several roms in the past and thought I'd go back to stock (375 currently installed) but can't pass safetynet. I now have a locked bootloader and FRP(?) and I'm no longer rooted but still, it fails the check?
Any clues welcome!
Has anyone got a working compination of Global or Euro version with magisk, or is the Magisk not working with this phone?
I flashed Glomal, Euro, etc and after pushed Magisk in, it all worked pretty good. But after 2 days or so, it just crashed. Anyone else same?
Without root it should work ok, but I need root.
