-Volume down to reboot
You Should Push it for a while to go to bootloader Unlock Page
again you have to option(I dont remeber what is the text) But you should push volume up button there 3 time or hold it
after that phone goes reboot and factory reset
let phone go factory reset
again turn on the phone, in bootloader warning page just push power button and let it boot(it can take a while to boot), tune the wizard and set a gmail on phone and check for oem unlock option it should be gray.
-turn off the phone, hold bibxy+volume down then insert cable phone goes in download mode page, here just push a volume up
Download mode important info should be like this:

Oem lock: Off(U)
Congratulation you have unlocked bootloader.
.....................
Step 2

MegaLink
-----Lets do it
After flashing the firmware i said and unlock bootloader

This is nice and elegant way for rooting..BUT ! In Magisk I have option to actually hide root for some apps...I use banking apps on my rooted phone, and is it possible to hide root with this root technique ? My banking apps doesn't work on rooted phone, therefore I found essential to hide root.

Download and install the X-Posed app. Look for and app within the X-Posed repository called ROOTCLOAK, install the latest STABLE version, then enable it. You may have to restart your phone but afterwards, you will be able to tell ROOTCLOAK which apps to hide root from. I did this with my credit card apps and others that wouldn't allow use on rooted devices and it worked 100%.

WHATS THIS?
This is my port of CF-AUTOROOT for the Samsung Galaxy TAB E.
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE or a TWRP backup in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
cfautoroot_sm-t377p.tar
cfautoroot_sm-t560nu.tar
NOTE: ON SOME 5.1.1 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
STOCK TWRP IMAGE FOR SM-T377P
This is a link to the stock system, boot, modem image for the T377P in case anyone needs it. Needs to be restored with twrp.
Thanks to @shawn1976 for providing this.

FRP lock
Any suggestions on getting pass an FRP lock? My niece tried to root it but didn't turn on the enable OEM unlock. I just literally got it so don't have a back up and stock rom is no where I can find online even tried the Samsung Switch software and the T377P is not an option.

Isn't there a recovery mode in the SS software that allows the firmware to be reflashed?

That was my plan ...however they do not support this model number yet so its not available to be reflashed. I checked sammobile as well figuring I could download firmware and use Odin to reflash and same situation.
There's a chance the sm-t377R4 firmware may flash as it's practically identical to the sprint firmware just a different csc.
Okay....will try and find that one.
Hi, I had a question. The Samsung Tab E is my first android device (I am a IOS user, so i know how to Jailbreak, but I don't know how to root!). My friend told me to root it, but I don't really know how to do it. Can you post a step by step tutorial. Also, after i rooted can i update my device to a newer version or do i have to remove the root. Lastly, how do you back up your device? Thank you! I appreciate your hard work!

You can follow the tutorial below, it's for the Tab A but the procedure is identical.
Obviously don't use the cf_autoroot file in the tutorial use the one here. Also note the PDA button in Odin is now called AP.

You can update your device with odin anytime you want but not via ota.
To back up you device you need to install TWRP.
Search Google for info on using TWRP.

Where do I get TWRP for Tab E T560, and how do I install it?
Thank you.

I tried the t377R4 firmware that didn't work. Any idea on where I could track down a copy of the t377p? Odd I can't even use the Samsung Smart Switch or even Kies as it doesn't recognize the model number. Or if anyone has a backup available they can share please let me know.
I have a US Cellular Samsung Tab E SM-T377R4 and I rooted it using the procedure below. The root process went fine and everything is working well except Recovery Mode does not work. It just boots to a black blank screen when I try to go to Recovery Mode. But that's no big deal to me.

Surprised recovery doesn't work, considering the 2 devices are identical specs.
Try installing Twrp, you'll probably find that works OK.

What's the issue?
Rooting gone bad... Rooted my SM-T377P with KingRoot and there is an FRP Lock that comes up a week later. All of the custom ROM versions I have keep getting rejected by ODIN every time I try to flash them. The only other way I can think of doing this is to flash the stock ROM for the device.

You realise you can't flash a custom rom with odin?
Also when you flash the stock t377r4 firmware what part fails?
The aboot fails every time I try to flash it

Ok guys, so as I promised, as soon as I received my Robin I started to work on this to finish it, and after some days of working and testing, here you have a toolkit for the cute Robin:
- Unlock/Lock the Robin (You should unlock your Robin the first time you use this tool. If not, as most of the tools below need the bootloader to be unlocked, you will lose your data when running any of them for the first time. In that case, creating a backup would be really unuseful. Unlock once, unlock forever)
- Backup/Restore
- Root
- Install TWRP
- Wipe Cache/Data (with and without TWRP installed)
- Install factory images (System, Boot and/or recovery, up to you - Not the last version, I have to update it)
- Install non-forced-encryption patched boot by @d3xt3r (Thanks bud!) [Possibly adding the @deadman96385 version too in a near future!]
Root, Install TWRP and Backup/Restore work 100% sure. Other like install factory images or the non-encryption mod I haven't tested them (I have zero time, literally), but they should work (95% sure).
Thanks also to @deadman96385, @d3xt3r, and @Baymax, who helped me testing and giving me their knowdledge!
Any suggestions and bug reporting are welcome!
Changelog
v1.2
No more using C:\ to store all the necessary files
Now using temp files, they're deleted when the Toolkit window is closed
No need to install adb anymore, it's installed the first time you run the .exe file
Update check added. You will get a message to download the new .exe everytime an update is available
Backup fixed (wasn't working)

I flashed the Sprint firmware and had data working on my XT1766 after it got it's carrier update, the Sprint firmware does not soft brick the phone as I flashed it and can confirm it doesn't soft brick it, so you are incorrect in saying that.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong but after trying this, my phone kept saying, "phone stopped working". I had backed up my phone so I restored it. Any ideas on what might have happened?

Oh, I never tried this method. I used rsd lite to flash the firmware (the one op says will brick you, it didn't by the way). After flashing new firmware I restored only data, nothing system or boot related, and have had no issues.

The steps are there. Just don't use the root part if you don't want root. Once you switch the files, flash the service file.xml with rsdlite.

With this method occurred as well..
While Turing on the phone " BAD KEY" msg pops up on
Black display for 4-5 seconds and then mobile shows Motorola logo...
Now what is suppose to be done to get rid off BAD KEY msg.

That's normal if you unlock the bootloader. Flash the no verity opt encrypt, or magisk, and it will change from bad key to n/a. But there will always be a message if you unlock the bootloader.
I know you said you don't need root, so that bad key message is there to stay.

N/A will be there. But you can flash a new boot logo to kinda hide it. Instead of a black screen, any logo you want, maybe with a white strip at the top to hide it. I'll get you a link.
Here are some good ones. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...om-boot-logos-converted-t3759320/post75787882

@madbat99
Everything you shared was perfect I made my own logo to hide bad key apn working ..
Now I want to have thebroot access in my phone XT1766..
TWRP IS ALREADY ISTALLED ON THE PHONE AS I AM FLASHING LOGOS..
WHAT SHOULD I INSTALLED TO GET ROOT ACCESS ..
SUPER USER ETC.. PLZ SHARE WITH ME..
and the main reason to have the root access is, I want to block or disable OTA update ..
Plz confirm, how will it be possible ..as I downgraded to get working APN But phone updated again now.
I want the phone to be stopped from being updated..
Plz help me out fixing this..
Thanks

Just don't accept the update. You can root by flashing magisk. You will still receive update notification. You'll need to disable the moto update app. I forget which one exactly. But your phone shouldn't be able to do ota updates once you are rooted with twrp installed. The update will fail.
here is the root thread.

Thank you. I wish I had known this. I had to flash the stock recovery, etc for the updates to work. A little bit of an unnecessary hastle.

Ota updates will likely always fail if you have twrp, or have modified the system in any way. The ota performs many checks (assert props) to see if the system is clean. If any asserts fail, the ota will fail. Even restoring the stock recovery doesn't guarantee the ota will work.
Hi there,
I'm in contact with google support to add a visa card to Google Pay. After several issues finally sorted, I have now a message saying I can not add a card because my phone is altered.
Is the fact that my phone is unlocked won't allow me to use Google Pay / NFC feature?
Thx guys
I managed to make work my banking app and Google Pay with these steps:
1. Enable Magisk hide + enable hide for Google Pay and Google Play services
2. Repackage Magisk Manager app (you will need to enable installation of apps from USB source in system developer settings)
3. Force basic Safetynet test by installing MagiskHide Props Config and selecting Mi 10T pro as a phone model (as a bonus, AR will work too)
Reboot phone and it should work now.
Hummm... after some research, it looks like this method won't work for a long time. Can I unlock my device for the time being? It's unclear how I can do it...

Maybe it will, maybe it won't.. There is a secondary method involving modification of Google Pay sql database which might work for a longer time.
Anyway, to unroot your phone and to pass safetynet you'll need to reflash whole ROM and lock the bootloader (make sure that phone is working before locking).
My Google Pay NFC visa was working after passing safetynet on magisk but stopped working today. Tried to unroot but still got the same error.
I didn't update the app at all so I'm guessing on the server side they did some changes to detect for root / custom rom /unlocked bootloader or something.
Now I'm gonna re-root since removing it didn't helped. Lol
Is a factory reset will do?

Safetynet will fail with unlocked bootloader, you need either unlocked bootloader + Magisk hide + basic Safetynet test (can be forced with using for example Mi 10T pro as a phone model), or completely stock rom with locked bootloader. Mine Google pay seems to be still working (at least app doesn't complain about anything ).

No, see above.
Thx for your quick answer _mysiak_
I guess there is no stock rom with locked bootloader available for this device yet

Yes there is. Complete list here, choose the right region and fastboot ROM type. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/gauguin/

Cool Thx... My device is a "Mi 10T Lite 5G". Is the "Mi 10T Lite Global" includes the 5G version?

All versions are 5G - check which MIUI version exactly do you have now (settings->about) and then download a ROM for the same region.

When downloaded, what am I supposed to do? I supposed there is a tutorial somewhere? Sorry to ask. It's been a while since I played with that kind of things :/
Ok I found how to do it. Damn... It's too easy now
Thx again guys
Long story short. After bricking my device (XiaoMiTool V2 hit it hard), I managed to get it back and flash a Fastboot ROM (through XiaoMiFlash).
And Google Pay still say I can not add a Visa Card because my Device is rooted or is altered in a way. I downloaded a root checker and it says I'm not rooted... WTF???

1. is your bootloader locked?
2. do you pass Safetynet (check with this app for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freeandroidtools.safetynettest&hl=en&gl=US)?
2. do you happen to have MagiskManager still installed?

I flashed a fastboot global ROM. Is it not locked by default? I haven't unlock it afterwards. Is there a way to check? I found only root checker on Google Play

Crap... should I have used this option when flashing?
"Clean all and lock"
Yes, flash all and lock is the right script. But it's a good point to lock your bootloader only after you are sure that your phone works.
When you are sure that you are with a fresh stock ROM, reboot to fastboot mode and issue command:
" fastboot flashing lock"
Beware, it will erase your data and if you by any chance have modified boot or system partition, you will brick your phone and it must be revived by EDL mode.

I tried the command but the device says it was not a "known command" so I flashed it again with the right script (I had to remove the antirollback section tho)
I'm restoring at the moment. Will tell you if I can add my VISA soon
So it works but Google Pay is saying that my Bank does not support this feature (Welcome to Canada!)
All of this for... NOTHING °*&(?$?&)
Ah ah ah... At least, I know how to properly flash my device. Thx a lot _mysiak_
Hi --
Old Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 running kitkat. I am using CF Auto Root to root it via Odin and I get the "pass" in Odin but then it just reboots into the existing OS and Supersu is not on the device. The instructions I have been following say that you should try again but switching off the "auto reboot" in odin. I did that, but it just remains in download mode. The instructions said to take out the battery...which, not really an option for the tablet.
I believe I followed all other instructions: I have the correct CF Auto Root file for my build; I have the drivers from Samsung ...
Any advice is appreciated.

So you want to keep that?
If not why don't you flash TWRP and Lineage?

Hi, and thanks for the reply. Big picture is that I'd like to use the tablet but kitkat obviously is now not compatible with most apps. So really just any reliable way to root so that I can make use of up-to-date/current apps. I can research TWRP and Lineage -- I'm guessing there's a how-to on here somewhere.
Tablet version: SM-t520.

And , obviously, terminology may be/probably is "off" here (newbie and all) ... but I believe there's a step before being able to flash TWRP and Lineage - whether that's "rooting" or "unlocking" or whatever. I'm basically still "stock" at this point.

I see.
Imo it's necessary 1st of all to make sure it's on latest stock to have latest bootloader.
Flashing TWRP with Odin is extremly easy.
Here is a post/thread although written for S4 valid for most others as well.
Written a how-to myself as well but the english part is not as up-to-date as the german is.

No unlocking necessary with that old device.
Rooting means having SU or Magisk but flashing works without as well.

Great, will give this a shot later today. Appreciate the help!
Well, didn't get very far. My understanding is that you have to unlock the OEM bootloader under developer options...which, ... well, I don't have that option listed once I've accessed the developer options. Tried a bunch of options -- factory reset, changed date/time to long ago .... used Smart Switch to check for updates (which one post said would prompt it to appear. Any options for getting this modded without the OEM bootloader unlock option? One post somewhere said that having the USB debugging option checked would work, but .... questionable.

Just use Odin to flash latest TWRP,
Reboot to that TWRP,
Wipe everything plus "Format Data"
Flash suiting ROM and test if it works
reboot to TWRP and flash Gapps fitting this ROM version (I prefer Bitgapps ARM)
Be happy
@tojotojo remember that Odin can only flash .tar and .tar.md5 files
TWRP.....img are to flash later in an old TWRP to get a newer one.
you need check off auto-reboot. it still in dload-mode, then press power to reboot and just as you see it starts boot press recovery-mode key combination to enter recovery. if you are slow, tab will load default system without ur root and recovery. i hope this help you.
