What's posted below is a work in progress, but it should suffice to unblock efforts to build custom ROMs for this inexpensive tablet. Many thanks to @mehanik6 on 4PDA for blazing the trail.
Notes:
The current process requires you to reset to factory defaults to remove file-based encryption. Remember to backup your data!
Custom kernels are specific to OEM releases, and rely on the latest posted kernel source.
This is unofficial and unsupported, so the usual caveats apply. Since we don't mess with the bootloader, you should be able recover from any problems...but nothing is guaranteed.
Not working:
Support for file-based encryption

What about rooting with Magisk?
These images are not supplied pre-rooted with Magisk, since it's against the terms of use laid out by Magisk's developer, John Wu. To root the TWRP image yourself, simply use Magisk Manager to Select and Patch a File. More details on this process are available from @ianmacd's topic for the Galaxy S10 series here.

After weeks of waiting Samsung has finally provided the Source for the Q update. Is there anyway you can update the Kernel base for the Q source?

Yes, I've been requesting this since I got my SM-T290 in mid-October (when it went on sale for $89 at Costco) and Samsung finally posted it on Monday, along with the SM-T500. I'm actually building the custom kernel right now and should have an update for TWRP and a Nexus Stock custom ROM very soon.
UPDATE: Samsung seems to have changed the bootloader in Android 10 so that it won't support custom recovery even if the bootloader is unlocked and we substitute an empty vbmeta.img. This is another one of those Samsung VaultKeeper "features" that I find infuriating.

UGH!! I own both of these tablets (290 and 500) and just rooted the 500. I was hoping there would be some some custom ROMs coming out early next year for the 500.

Well, at least with the SM-T290 we can roll back to the Android 9 bootloader (minimally aboot and vaultkeeper), but that might not be an option with the SM-T500. We'll find out this weekend when I attempt to build TWRP for that newer tablet, which released with Android 10 and dynamic partitions.
The fact that you've been able to root the SM-T500 is promising, since Majisk modifies the recovery partition to do that.

Does this work with the Kids Edition of the SM-T290?
Really disappointed with this tablet, I figured since it only allows the user less than 32 gigs of space I could use an SD card in order for my daughter to download all the games she wants... only to find out there is no possible way to move any app to the SD whatsoever, actually the option to move apps to sd is not even greyed out it's just gone completely.
Doesn't seem to be many roms for the t290 available, and or if any roms out there could force that option back in.

My Nexus Stock custom ROMs do allow formatting the SD as internal so that you can store apps on it (although there are performance issues with SD vs. EMMC to consider). I've already got this working on Android 9, but was holding out for the Android 10 kernel source to be posted so that we can roll out on the latest OEM firmware. This issue with the Q bootloader is a setback, but I expect that we'll be able to work around it.
The Kid's edition is just a characteristic of the OEM firmware you install, and the hardware is identical, so you should be fine after you upgrade to T290XXU3BTI2. If you really want the Kid's Edition splash screen, I suspect that T290UEU3BTI3 will work with custom ROMs based on T290XXU3BTI2 just fine.

Oh ok thanks for breaking that down for me, I just was worried it wouldn't be compatible.
I would love to have a Nexus like experience on this thing, the more vanilla and pure Android, the better to me.
Would games on the sd card still play? Thats really my biggest reason as my daughter has already maxed out her space on it.
The last rooting/flashing I've done is from years back on an S3 and S5. I wish I could say my memory was good enough to feel confident about doing it.
So it would be unlock oem on developer mode, hook it up to a correct version of odin to put twrp in, then from twrp install magisk and also flash the rom right? I know I'm missing a ton of little details but just wanted to see what I could remember .
Thanks for your help

Quick Note: I just modified the Odin tarball to include legacy aboot and vaultkeeper images so that you can flash this custom recovery on Android 10 OEM firmware releases. The recovery image itself is unchanged.

Well, a custom ROM and rooting a ROM are two very different things. You can look at my Nexus Stock custom ROM for the 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (SM-T510) and see that it's very similar to Pixel Experience custom ROMs. Both are attempts to reproduce the "pure Nexus" experience, but with more modern Pixel boot animations, backgrounds, and Google apps.
Rooting can generally be done for any ROM now using Magisk to allow you to make changes, and there's a pretty good tutorial on that for the Galaxy Tab A7 here. My personal preference is not to root the system partition, but to simply make any changes using the TWRP File Manager where you already have root access.

Oh ok, i see.
Your Nexus rom for the SM-T510 looks awesome! Also, that Tab A7 tutorial is great.
On your original post, the first 2 downloads you have, the first one, "twrp-3.4.0-0-T290UES3ATC1-20201204.tar.md5 (Odin tarball)" that puts the custom recovery on the phone via ODIN. The second download, "twrp-3.4.0-0-T290UES3ATC1-20201101.img", is your Nexus Stock Rom for the T290, and is run from the TWRP recovery itself.
Does your T290 feel more responsive - less laggy with your Nexus rom?

Samsung doesn't do flashing via fastboot, so the .img file is really only for incremental updates via TWRP.

I think so, but I might be biased and I haven't had time to run any performance tests. I just posted the first release, though, so you can judge for yourself.
BTW, the $89 Costco deal is back until 12/27.

Quick question, I am having an issue using Smart Switch to make backups for my T500 on my Win10 machine. Seems like it just started and hangs up on applications. Any ideas? Want to install a few Magisk modules but want a back up first.

Wow and a free 32GB SD card. Awesome deal! I got mine for $99 from BestBuy with no card.

Would this work on the LTE variants (SM-T295)? I have one of those and I'm kinda tired of the performance issues plaguing One UI on that tablet. :/

I've been told that it does, but I haven't confirmed it myself because I don't have an SM-T295.

Okay, apparently the forum now forks a thread if you change the title. Bug or feature?
The new thread for TWRP v3.5.0 on the SM-T290 is here.

Any chance to get a working TWRP for latest stock firmware as of now?

Okay..
After a long testing and debugging session with AbduL_PT
This Guy is the only one who can make TWRP work with Rockhip devices. Check his thread and give him some BEER. He Deserve it!:good:
We finally come up with TWRP for our device!!! :victory:
DISCLAIMER: Rooting any Android device or installing a custom ROM firmware will void the warranty of the device and might only be restored by flashing the phone back to stock firmware and uninstalling custom recoveries and such.
I take no responsibility for any malfunctioning or any wrong doing happening to your device(s) by you following this guide. Proceed at your own risk!
Instructions.
Please make sure that you are familiar with RKtools and installing driver from device manager before you proceed on this
For fast booting to flash mode and recovery mode. Please install this app. ROOT required
Bootloader = Press Power + volume (nearest to the powerbutton) for 5 seconds or until Windows detect new device
Recovery = Press power + both volume buttons. One logo show up release power button and keep pressing volume buttons
1. Dowload the zip file to this LINK
includes
RKtool
stock and TWRP recovery
RK29adbdrivers
2. Unzip it and run update
3. Plugin your tablet to you PC .
4. Launch reboot app and choose "Bootloader" or turn off your device do and it manually with buttons
3. Windows will look for drivers and install driver like this guide using the driver I provided
4. Once RKtools detect your device (ii will show Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb). hit the "RUN" button and dont press anything else until your device reboot
5. launch reboot app and choose "Recovery" or turn off your device do and it manually with buttons
ENJOY
If you want to go back to stock recovery
launch RKTOOLS again and choose "recovery-stock" image from Recovery folder
I was able to do FULL NANDROID BACKUP and RESTORE successfully using this recovery
Since our device use /data/share as Internal SD card, we have manage the following (credits joe.stone)
Fixed Internal SD handling , now it is correctly /data/share not data/media .
Fixed wipe of Data . Now it does not removes the content of internal SD.
BUGS
1. Data nandroid backup the whole /data partition (includes /data/share which is Internal SD card)
2. Internal SD nandroid back up /data partition as well
3. Default Storage is internal SDcard (it can change to External SD on Mount Menu)
4. If FORMAT Data is chosen on Wipe Menu, reboot to recovery is required
5. For wiping Cust partition, put a tick on "Use rm -rf" on Settings
Credits:
Freaktab.com for all rockchip needs!
joe.stone for allowing us to use his source and provide some changes
and ofcourse..
AbduL_PT and for this TWRP thread for everything... Again this Guy deserves a Thanks and a BEER! LOL!
If you appreciate it , Give those Guys a THANKS and Click that THANKS button below ( dont be so ungrateful [email protected][email protected]#($! )
Reserved
Tried today your beta on my Huawei Mediapad 7 Lite (S7-931u) and seems to me, it is working just fine!
I can only say, great job guys! :good:
Had same issues with Cust partition like in BUGS section of you introduction post, but in the end recovery went OK.
Tried compressing backup and restore and it works.
Didn't try Install option of the recovery, cause i don't know any custom ROMs existing for this tablet, and didn't try Mount option cause don't know what to test.
One minor thing/bug I noticed (if it is even important), when recovery is done and press reboot my tablets screen flips upside down until reboot, afterwards it back to normal.
Anyway, thanks for your effort, now it is time to experiment without reinstall everything from scratch
So what exactly does this do to a device?
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery just like CWM (ClockworkMod).
Custom recovery is used for different OS customization, but mostly is used for installing custom ROMs (like CyanogenMod, CarbonROM, etc.) and full device backup and restore, well at least that is why is mostly known for.
If you are interested in more on TWRP you can follow this links for more: link1, link2

yeah.. the first twrp releases created for this device is inverted... Abdul just add some tweak to get the proper orientation for our device
good thing you confirm that nandroid back up works!
are you part of 4pda people?
Yes, nandroid backup works ok, at least on my model.
Didn't have other ROM to test, but I've tested it by "destroying" some parts of stock ROM (apps, settings, etc.) and tried recovery.
Maybe I'll try some RK2918 generic ROM if found something useful.
No, I'm not part of 4PDA people/community, why do you ask?
I'm just a enthusiast who started tinkering around this tablet frustrated with its stock ROM (in)stability.
I've read some 4PDA forum posts and they really have interesting discussions on the subject of Mediapad 7 Lite, but sometimes I'm a bit lost in translation even when using Google Translate. Cyrillic I can read, but speaking/writing Russian sadly no.

Thats nice... anyway i found some generic rk2918 cm10 i will to port one...
Since I am kinda new to this stuff, just to be clear, can I flash a custom ROM and update my Android using this and if yes, where do I get the ROM from and are there any particular instructions for flashing it?
TWRP is not custom ROM, but recovery/install tool that can help you install custom ROMs.
You can flash only custom ROM that is compatible with your device. E.g. MediaPad 7 Lite is based on RK2918 System-on-chip (aka. SoC), and it needs ROM with configuration (settings, drivers, etc.) for that hardware configuration, so it is not easy task to make fully compatible custom ROM, especially if you don't know or don't have source code for you device.
Android platform has very high device "fragmentation", so custom ROM for device with similar hardware specs, can still make your device unusable or bricked at worst if not careful.
As I said before, I didn't find any custom ROM for Mediapad 7 Lite, but I've seen some customization on stock ROM (based on SP19 firmware) on 4PDA forum (but I think it contains only Russian localization - I'm not sure!)
There are some RK2918 custom ROMs (mostly CM10) for some tablets, but don't know it they would be easily customized to this tablet.
Search XDA forum, it has a lot of forum threads on this and similar subjects.
Anyway... if you plan to experiment, you need to be careful, if you don't want your tablet to become "PaperWeight 7 Lite"
Thank you for you're reply. I will for now, keep my device as it is. Thank you for you're time.

sorry if next appears negative, I am not an expert just seeking to clarify some things
I have unpacked our TWRP and it appears to be a port of another device.
eg inside build.prop I can see
ro.product.brand=yuandao
....
ro.product.model=n70s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
secondly inside init.rc there is no line to import the usb rc file instead I only see this import
import /init.recovery.rk30board.rc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OOOH there is no usb rc file but I can bodgee one up if you are interested.
altho I have no experience with TWRP I have ported 3 CTRs that show at needrom, so I have some skills....modest too
Did you guys focus on the big picture and forget to update the text files?
Do you mind if I have a go at fixing and either pm you a download link or forum link?
cheers and thanks for reading
Hmmm!?
I am sorry to bring more bad news......but I think I have a found a possible answer to why the id is wrong in TWRP.
EDIT and I am hoping this is the reason why fastboot is not working for me, altho I know not all devices support fastboot. As my udev is right, rebooting and looking for fastboot is currently a fail........but thats one more test I shall have to do in rebuilding our TWRP.
The id is wrong in the stock BOOT image unpacked. That is, our porter may have taken that id as gospel without checking it independently. Also I am aware our device will still have different ids such as for the modem which is often a different manufacturer........I am often wrong.....but this I feel explains the human error in TWRP.
It shows for its init.rc
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor 18d1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
forgive me for pointing out the correct id is 12d1 as showing here
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
For anyone interested 18d1 is Google.
2) EDIT I was initially planning to have a go at fixing our current TWRP. The time to edit and check stuff is roughly the same time and effort to port a more recent TWRP.
For that reason, if I brick my device, only I have bricked it and all other users are not mislead.......giggles.
I have found that Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is a 7 inch 600 x 1024 pixels and someone has kindly uploaded TWRP 2.8.4.0 for it at the TWRP site. So fingers crossed I can port that correctly. Later, if device is still alive, I can mod our boot image to correct specs.
cheers and thanks for reading
Go ahead.. Let us know what can you accomplish.. Remember samsung doesnt use Rk flatform.. If you want to go further more.. You can ask Abdul.. He is a very helpful guy
edit
slightly off topic so removed.
Hi
rather than pollute this nice thread about TWRP for our device I have started a new thread on some of my thoughts, feel free to peruse, abuse or comment there. I won't post any more here until I have a proven result or 2 or 6
I hope you understand why I am posting this as well?
cheers

my guess is " performing of multiple operations simultaneously " meaning getting MR's OTA and working Naugat (Android 7) at the same time???
well i'm just assuming so , and i assume next Update will be N release., you know B3x

Oh sweet, thanks. I think I tried it before but it didn't stick after rebooting. Has it changed since then? If so, I'm definitely gonna have to search for it again.
I have the option for the update as well. Waiting as I'm rooted.

Parallel paths does indeed mean they are simultaneously working on updates and the long awaited Nougaaaattttt update. ZTE has done a good job updating and listening to their customers in the z-forum. Lets hope this plus Official CM and unlock bootloader without breaking warranty will help ZTE be known as a developer friendly Own.
How do we install if we are unlocked bootloader and rooted??
Do we have any idea if flashing U roms on G device works? Would love to get rid of the bell
Here over in europe, i just received for my A2017G an 703mb big B05 Update.(previous B03)
Strange that ours is 703mb big (hope they fix the youtube freeze Problem) and also supports optional notification bell (no info for that in the change log)
Take a look:

Here is an Mega Mirror for the B29 update. Just in case.
I have simply copied it from its location "data/data/com.zte.zdm/files" where the updater places its OTA files.

If you place the file into that directory. You should be good to go using the inbuild updater.

I was on B27, unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, rooted, with changes to /system, and have successfully upgraded to B29 (w/ same modifications). Since I made changes to /system (AdAway, Titanium Backup, AFWall) and wanted a clean slate for everything, I wiped my A7.
If you don't want to factory reset your device and didn't make any changes to /system, you might only have to unroot, restore stock boot.img and stock recovery.img via TWRP (from rczrider's topic linked below), install B29.zip in stock recovery, flash TWRP, then flash root, but I didn't do it personally, so no guarantees.
Anyway, this is what I did. Some of these steps might not have been needed, and probably could have been done differently, but it's what worked for me, and yes I like rebooting:
1. Download the B29 update, DrakenFX's B27 StockSystem zip for TWRP (which also flashes stock boot.img), stock B27 recovery.img from rczrider, and SuperSU 2.65. Put all on microSD.
2. Booted into TWRP and did a factory reset, rebooted back into TWRP and flashed DrakenFX's B27 StockSystem ZIP, rebooted back into TWRP and flashed stock B27 recovery.img, rebooted device.
3. Powered on the device and made sure it booted into OS fine and was still reporting the correct amount of internal storage space. Rebooted into stock recovery and flashed the B29 update.zip from my microSD card. Installed fine, rebooted into OS to made sure it still worked.
4. Rebooted into fastboot, connected to my computer and flashed Unjustified Dev's TWRP via Minimal ADB & Fastboot, booted into TWRP and flashed SuperSU 2.65 from my microSD, let the device reboot itself a couple of times.
I now have B29 with unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and root.
NOTE: Something I noticed when I was going through and disabling system apps: WeShare can't be disabled from the Settings > Apps menu, but can be disabled by opening the app drawer, pressing and holding on it, and dragging it up to "Disable" at the top of the screen.
However, it would probably be easier to just wait for DrakenFX to create custom TWRP install zips for B29.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Reporting Bugs
DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

I'll upload a flashable able.elf to get fastboot back later .....
with the abl.img the fastboot has go in the system no mtp modus
can you both abl.img without fastboot and abl.img the fastboot did not combine so we have fastboot but can still switch to mtp on system ?
Ps
with the abl.img the fastboot makes it possible for me every few minutes the sd card out but then again nen recognized
After a little trial and error, I finally got it installed on my Chinese version. Thank You! Running through the setup now. Once again, Thank You

Yes, with the Fastboot abl.elf ,MTP on System is disabled for whatever reasons......
But if I'm honest, with TWRP installed if you don't have the need to have fastboot, just keep stock abl for MTP and TWRP to flash anything.
Beside you can just use the AxonTool to get fastboot abl without problem.
I'm also leaving here a link for the TWRP Flashable Fastboot abl in case anyone wants it.

Why would you change the modem? That's a device specific firmware you'd lose your service and more than likely sound

Hi!
I have two problems with the rom.
The first one and most important is, that it sometimes just stops at LOS boot animation and I have to flash the entire rom and gapps.
The second one is that LOS recovery always overwrites TWRP, is there any option to avoide that?
Thanks!

Not sure about your first problem because you have not provided a log (I haven't ran into that issue yet). It could be something you have installed or some option causing an issue. The second problem is something that cannot be stopped. Newer devices don't have a recovery partition it's packed into the boot partition. The ROM provided a boot IMG so TWRP isn't replaced it's just not part of the boot.IMG that's being flashed. After you flash the ROM, flash the TWRP installer again (this cannot be changed)

Installed and working on 2020
I live in Canada and couldn't order an Axon10 anywhere here, so i got one from China. It is the A2020 not the G or the U. I managed to flash TWRP and this LineageOS ROM on it successfully, except for one detail.
I can't seem to get the mobile data networks to connect. I can make calls and send and receive texts, but no data networks. I've tried flashing the original modem, resetting the cache, and reinstalling the rom. I can't seem to change the APN settings either as they're all greyed out.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I too have the Chinese version. I was on Lineage, but went back to stock. even though there are some annoyances with the Chinese rom, there were some issues with the Lineage rom. Such as, No face unlock, FP scanner or wireless charging don't work and sound was rather low. I'm sure all these issues will be worked out in time.

I have the 4G version. I just don't personally like light modes, so I have kept mine BL unlocked so that I can theme so that most apps are dark, but the other annoyance I have with the Chinese rom is the over agressive memory management that constantly shuts down Google Assistant. This causes me to constantly have to reset it. That is why I was asking if anyone had the capabilities or knew of a rom that had Chinese setting, but system images with Google Play. I have also tried eliminating Z-assistant, which seems to manage things, but Google Assistant is still shut down. Are you knowledgeable as to which app/service might be responsible for shutting things down?

Fp is almost impossible. After a few weeks we finally got ZTE audio changes it may not be the same for fp. I'm not sure who makes the decisions but they modified the default Android service for fp. You can't really do that it's against vts. I've tried myself to do the same and the build give a big warning. It's not impossible to get it working, I just refuse to go that far to get something working when it could have been done differently.

Could you grab a logcat? Since the modem is working it could be the network mode is different for this device even though it's the Chinese one.

Before Starting This Process Get A USB2 Mini Hub You Are Most Likely Going Too Need It. Do Not Come In Here And Post This Is Not Working Until You Have Tried It With The USB2 Mini Hub!
You Must Start From Stock U Firmware. IT Seems To Be The Less Likely To Brick Your Device As Explained In The Disclaimer!​
Disclaimer Please Read!!
This may brick your device there is a problem especially with s8 and note 8 models where the tz partition becomes corrupted and on some occasions after flashing combination firmware your phone will become bricked and as of now there is no way to fix it. There is no way to predict if it will happen. It doesn’t seem too happen very often on s8+ but it does occasionally happen on the other 2 models so do this at your own risk. I would say it probably happens 10 percent of the time on s8 and note 8 especially when on bit 6 or higher firmwares. S8+ it rarely happens too but it still may. If you take the risk and it happens do not pm me asking how to fix it as of time I posted this there is no way to fix it
Please Read Notes
OEM Toggle Does Nothing On US Model Phones
You will most likely need a USB 2 mini hub for Odin to work if using windows 8 or higher. I would temporarily disable windows defender or antivirus software while performing the procedure with your computer.
You cannot have root on any rom except a nougat rom also flashing custom boot images cannot be done or using systemless magisk. Hiding root or running modules cannot be done. There is no oem unlock and even if there is you cannot unlock your bootloaders or run any aosp based roms.
You can be on any firmware to achieve safestrap but to run a rooted rom you will be limited to using a special nougat android 7 rom. You can have safestrap on pie android 9 which gives you some ability to modify system files flash zips etc and have access too data and other partitions that are normally blocked but you can not run root on android 9 because root on android 9 requires a modified boot image
Anything here with a .7z extension will get unzipped before using
Anything here with a .zip extension will get flashed a zip in safestrap
Anything here with a .tar or .md5 gets flashed in odin
Anything here with a .img extension gets flashed as image in safestrap

Exited to try out latter today. Been looking and hoping for a way to have my Galaxy S8 950u rooted.
BTW, which rooted roms could I install after fallowing this process?
Will this root method work for S8+ SM-G955U Android 9?
Due to accidentally deleting my Music folder files, the only way I understand to recover the MP3s (not backed up on Google or Samsung Cloud) is to first root the phone, then install a 3rd party software program to recover them. Will this method work on my S8+ SM-G955U, Android version 9, Build PPR1.180610.011.G955USQS7DTB1 ? If not, would you please link me to the root method that will work?

No look in the s8+ threads for your method Only issue is once you root you may overwrite the music files more than likely they are gone permanently

Special Notes:
1. DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE "OEM UNLOCK" (located in Developers options).
2. KNOX will be tripped once you flashed custom binaries to your phone.
(Your warranty may be voided. However this may not affect you if your country forces Samsung to provide hardware warranty regardless of software status.)
3. Samsung Firmware OTA (aka System Updates) will no longer work once you flashed custom binaries.
(You can flash custom ROMs if you want to keep the OS up-to-date.)
4. All apps that use KNOX like Samsung pay, Secure Folder and maybe more will no more work
How to install:
Coming From Stock:
1. Download This TWRP Release and Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
2. Under Developer Options, Tick OEM Unlock. It will tell you to factory reset. Do it.
3. After the phone shuts down, press Vol + & - button and at the same time, insert a usb cable to phone connected to a PC.
4. Check KG Status. If it is Prenormal, reboot the phone and follow this guide : (1) How to bypass KG State and/or RMM state prenormal | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
5. Zip the TWRP recovery image to tar format and put in the AP slot of Samsung Odin.
6. Flash and after the phone screen turns off, press vol+ and power button.
7. If there is "Set Warrenty Bit : recovery" text on the top left, success!
8. Format data, flash zip downloaded from above.
9. To boot stock rom, install magisk.
From Other Recovery:
Reboot to recovery and flash this TWRP image as recovery and reboot recovery.

I was developing custom roms for A6+ despite of my computer specs. But my phone's LCD went out and I can't test anymore... And it takes 1 day to build in i5-5200U (2C/4T) CPU and 8GB RAM.. Now I can only build TWRP.​
where is the twrp file ?

Hi,
I'm new here, this method also works with bootloader 6 ? e.g. with the "A605FNXXU6CTH1"
Android 10, UI 2.0, are there any problems with rooting? Magisk or SU?
thanks for your replay

I can help with that. I know what it feels like having no TWRP and custom rom. But you still need to test the TWRP. Because I don't have A600FN, and the LCD on my A6+ broke so I don't own a device launched in 2018. OK with testing?

Yes it is compiled in android 10 tree but recovery doesn't depend on android version..

Thank you for your offer to help develop a recovery for the a600FN. It is about testing and im willing to help but at the moment my device is being used for daily stuff so i cant risk to much....
Any suggestions? Thank you and i will PM any next message.

I think it will work...? Because I will use kernel and dt from here. And it's verifyed working. I'm just building for new version
Can you test this?
Thanks, ill hope there will be some users which ow the Galaxy A6 and not using this device as their main phone to be willing to test.
As a IT specialist myself i did try anything to at least help testing for this version of TWRP for our device. I did try to take several rom dumps with professional fabric software and hardware like software dongles but it was impossible to make a full rom dump.
With this said and knowing that a complete data wipe within TWRP is necessary to make the recovery find the internal storage makes it impossible for me to test no matter the fact that the biggest part of this recovery already exist and confirmed working.
I have A600FN and I could test that as soon as my OEM unlock button will be visible (above 10 days passed and still nothing...).

I could help with the OEM unlock button. What a waist of time these lost 10 days and still no OEM unlock button while the solution is easy...
Follow guide with screenshots: https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-...y-s9-samsung-galaxy-s8-samsung-galaxy-note-8/
And for those who could test on the A600 the recovery image is already uploaded within this thread thanks to Royna
I've tried that many times (no only that, but many similar guides) - and still nothing. From what I read, Samsung just fixed that "date & time" trick and I have to wait.
Ok that is strange, im on android 10 with One UI version 2.0 and got it working. If im allowed to post this link then the rom could be found here: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a6/firmware/SM-A600FN/PHN/#SM-A600FN
You should do a clean flash without having the phone connected to the internet, not even once because it will do some synchronization. After the flash just follow the guide which could be found on the xda forum..
Thank you for a hint. Because of that I'm waiting so long already I'll wait till end of week and if things still will be the same then I'll try rom you've proposed. Thanks again.
