You have to install an Patched boot.img, That means you have to patch boot image with a Root like Magisk or SuperSU. Try it again, it works normally if you install Root. Btw, We are currently fixing an Boot.img Patch error with using a Magisk's Boot Image Patch Script.
(Sorry for being late Envy_!)

The Early Release may not Stable for Your Device. We need more fixes for Early Release, So We need your feedbacks. The Feedbacks makes Early Release is stable for Device.
This Early Release Includes:
Team Crab Version Checker Added - It includes in System files so you are only able to disable apps, not a delete apps but it may look trash because i am new at creating apps with a kotlin from android studio lol
New Build Number Builded - New Build Number is generated from One UI Base and the build prop and updater script tweaks New Build Number into the system
Security Level Upgraded - the Security Level is Upgraded from SU2 to SUC (SU13) but its only the build prop tweaks and it is uneffective to flash roms you can still flash the Android 9.
Boot Image Patched - Now, you don't need to root, Because the Boot image was patched with Magisk! Boot Image is modded with Magisk and meaning the boot image includes magisk manager.

Sorry for being late update, We're currently working on new pc. Because, We moved from the Old PC and while moving my pc's hardware was not worked normally so my hard drive was got destoried. Well, we have to download it Firmware again. Please Help us!
TMI: My PC is not using Windows Anymore, My PC is Now using Rectify11 V2.5 so it may not compatible with a program that makes an Custom Firmware i use lol so it may be a late update
Problem:
We checked the software won't boot to System if you not rooted with magisk or SuperSU. We'll check how to fix to boot system without root.
Google apps are too old and YouTube not works because YouTube is old too.
Early Release Problems:
We don't know why, a build we are currently testing is not works normally it stops in setup wizards (its stock boot image, not a modded. we are thinking to stop a project now.. its impossible to fix it because its a system's problem.)

work on A530F?

Frequent Q&A (maybe?)
Q: WHY FAQ FIRST?
A: Because, I have seen some of you guys are so lazy to scroll down a bit to read this as this is essential post I think. And further more, I don't want you to brick your phone because of your lack of reading skill .
Q: Am I advised to do anything?
A: READ THIS CAREFULLY everyone. Since I changed the partition layout for more convenient to work on kitkat or future Android so I advise you to do a oneclick heimdall back to BML first, do a full wipe except for the sdcard and then flash the kitkat zip. Once u r in TWRP, full wipe and flash the build again (with or without gapps) . I might change the partition table several times until I have the good space calculation for rom and gapps tho, so this procedure is advised/required - just took u 30s to do that tho.
I will also mark the zip/update that have another different table that required this procedure then, otherwise, you can update via dirty flash.
Link to heimdall package: AntonX's Basic with a twist kernel [BML]
And here is the recommended procedure:
1. Make backup or whatever u need then copy the ROM into ur sdcard.
2. Reboot into Recovery and full wipe except sdcard.
3. Reboot into Download mode and Heimdall oneclick BML ROM/kernel
4. Flash the Slimkat build from CWM 5.x
5. After booted into TWRP, full wipe and flash the Slimkat ROM again - use the button combo to get into TWRP if it doesn't do it automatically.
6. Reboot and enjoy!
Q: Is this Rooted?
A: Yes it is. To have the Root privileges, Go to settings>about phone>then tap build number 7 times to enable the developer settings, once enabled, under root access, choose apps and adb. That's all. (Thanks to @foxxx5oh)
Q: Why doesn't this have Focal?
A: Because Focal is not available on Slimkat.
Q: Where is 'fix permission' option in CWM?
A: I believe koush decided to throw away the fix permissions button in CWM because he said it was largely placebo effect and had no real purpose anymore. (Thanks to @cpkelley94)
Q: Dahell, I can't use Google Now.
A: I found that all you have to do to fix Google now is get root explorer, titanium backup or SD maid, remove system app Google search and reinstall from play store... (Thanks to @turtlepa)
Q: My battery drains so fast and I found out that WiFi kept awake and running in background even I disabled it. Why?
A: Due to new Android version permission, Google set up a new option to allow Gapps to scan for nearby networks even when WiFi is off. To disable that, go to settings>WiFi>advance>untick the scanning always available option n u r cool again .
Q: Is this really KITKAT? And can I eat it?
A: Yes, yes it is. And u r advised to cook it before eating tho. Enjoy your meal then .

Hmm weird, lets me check the build again, or I might upload my previous build insted (w/o ota support). Interesting that the only change in this build compare to previous one running on mine is OTA suport and it was cleaner build (on mine was dirty one).
Oh wait, did u flash the build again via TWRP? If not, I am sorry that I forgot telling ya that once u r in TWRP, u have to flash it again (u know how to use TWRP rite?)
Anw, u can still heimdall again n flash slimbean tho so dunt worry

Use the Combo volume + volume - and power button to boot into Recovery tho. If u wiped b4 heimdall then after flashing slimkat, it should bring u into TWRP. that was weird unless u hadn't wiped :/.
now again:
- installed fresh 2.3.6.
- installed AntonX-Basic_with_a_twist-v1.1.0-OC_UV
- wait 5~ minute on boot logo !!
- boot on cwm and install your rom
- auto reboot into TWRP
- install rom again
- wipe
- Reboot
- Phone boot into KitKat
Thank You !!!

I added the right procedure onto OP anyway so everyone else should follow it easier. And FYI, u should have OTA updater works from now on for updating the ROM in future. U should receive a notification automatically everytime I upload a new build then. One more thing I have to do is finding a way to include Changelog and mayb look over GPS then .

I'm gonna exclude the OC and UV from the next update anw. It causes more trouble to the stability than it helps on the battery tho. Plus, it's good to let the phone rest for a while, 15 to 30 seconds after every boot finishes to ensure that u won't have freeze/reboot afterwards. and ye. Slimkat just hit the Beta phrase yet, features are slowly merged tho so stay tuned for OTA gift .
Thank you so much for is dao!
OTA works great. Is ART functioning? My SELinux status says Enforcing. Is that a problem?

There are no details on the list of bugs fixed or the details on stability at this time.
If i get any details on it from the rom team i shall get back to you.
I believe the team is still working on a bigger update and is focused on getting some more software additions to the OnePlus 6.
Hopefully the future updates will get you better features and optimisation for a smoother experience.
Downloading it now. It seems to be getting the full ROM, probably because I have unlocked the bootloader.
I cannot wait to get my device!! Ordered at launch Direct from OnePlus via priority ship so hopefully Friday arrival!!

Yes the system would prompt a full zip download for unlocked bootloaders / rooted devices. Download via system updates or from the direct link in the download section :good:

It was available in OOS 5.1.0 that came pre-installed from factory. It's been removed in later OOS versions.

nope, Always on Display is showing you the Battery %, the Notifications and the Clock on your locked screen. Exactly the same feature like Samsung Galaxys and LG Phones have, and it was looking exactly the same too. But well they removed it now..

oneplus isnt know for removing settings in stable release... maybe its been moved elsewhere.
It has been removed in the latest update. It's discussed all over the internet.
We hope to see AOD back in the next updates or beta.
If you wish to unroot/go back to stock recovery: Please take a look here
Ok guys we have not forgotten you and the update should be available soon. It brings some welcome additions and hopefully the global rollout will start soon :fingers-crossed:
Stay tuned :highfive:
Looking forward to it!!

I just bloody flashed the test 5.1.6 build. I regretted it so much. Everything is working the same or probably faster except for the failed safety net test.
How to I revert back to 5.1.5? I tried to local update official 5.1.5 zip file but it won't let me - downgrading is not allowed apparently.
Or is it better for me to wait for full official 5.1.6 OOS zip and local update it? Will it work?

Fcking suuuper excited to make this garbage phone just a little less stinky. Thanks for putting this all together!
lol I just noticed I am considered a new member... after 11 years on the site. Must be cause I lurk.
I am interested in an orange fox recovery. But at this point any will do. So, how does one get past the fastboot issue this phone has?
Striking gold once again I see, much thanks and kudos to you,can't wait for release
Thanks alot

sweet, yeah, i think i am on t-mobile, pretty stoked with it so far. unlimited tether data, and now that its rooted, my vpn works. thinking about cancelling my xfinity.
There a step by step guide?
OK got it worked out what rom you recommend for this device there along on the page lol
I'd like a step-by-step guide too. It would save people a lot of trouble if they don't know this particular method of unlocking. Also, is there a way to unlock the assurance sim card for use on other devices?

Assurance locks the SIM to the IMEI network side,so short of commiting felonies no you can't. Good news is the UMX is sim unlocked out of the box,so you can go to any T-Mobile,AT&T or Sprint MNVO(May need to call ASW and tell them to cancel your service for Sprint ). SafeLink is a good choice for lifeline
An AIO ToolKit is about to be released for this device, I wrote it to handle everything from fresh untouched device to fixing a soft-bricked device. The initial release will be removed shortly and this new ToolKit is for Linux...
Thanks for all your work, assurance sent my grandfather a wiko phone, He received a call and from the phone call. the phone was bricked aswell as some chinese ransomware looking malware. Called assurance and their sending this malware infested UMX again, thanks to you though I can get off that malware infested os and onto stock android! Keep up the great work!
tx for this toolbox coming out!
i got this phone via assurance, and indeed, it not only installs many apps/websites with zero user control, but also apps with all chinese characters, and that was right out of the box. a month later i called assurance to stop my service with them, though i've kept this phone. they asked why i was stopping their service, and i just told her it was enough that i had daily apps/games/sites installed without my permission or control, but that some of them were in a chinese character set; this from a phone given to u.s. citizens applying for federal help during covid.
i now use safelink instead, which just gave me a sim for my pixel 3a, much simpler/safer than assurance.
This is an awesome feat. I thank you so much! BUT I do need to explain a couple points from my experience doing this, just in the event that it maybe helps someone out.
I followed the guide step by step but as I have attempted other root options in the past, I think it caused my phone to soft-brick due to those past attempts that I tried with only my own limited knowledge.
So this is my personal experience, only posting for others in the event that someone else has a similar or identical issue. The issue(s) I had were almost certainly not at the fault of the person who wrote this guide, just FYI. For many, their process has proved successful first-try, as you'll see within the comments.
Again, MY experience:
FIrstly, I had to do things differently. So I DID NOT flash anything to the boot partition. I SKIPPED THAT STEP. (Of course this is after my first try when I followed the post's instructions. After my first attempt I found myself in a soft-brick situation. Luckily, I have two of these devices so I was able to rescue the device using the working device's firmware and I only flashed recovery to begin with, and then booted into TWRP, pushed Magisk and installed it...error. Sideloaded Magisk, SUCCESS!
(Always use software from the creator's site/forum, even when you know you can get it here...just to ensure you're getting a safe and up to date version). Once you've got you some Magisk, you can choose to flash any of the recoveries...(I used OrangeFox and TWRP. OrangeFox is prettty cool, but I don't see backup/restore options like in TWRP. PitchBlack wouldn't show my files AT ALL so options were very limited with that recovery.
And other than that, this guide is awesome! I'm now rooted, and I've got LSposed and even changed my font with a magisk module, as well as the boot up screen haha.
Thank you so much to @PizzaG , for not only putting this together but for taking the time to share and help others.
(TAKEN FROM ORIGINAL POST-UNCHANGED): We really appreciate your effort and your sharing with us!!! You ARE AWESOME!

FIrstly, DO NOT flash anything to the boot partition. SKIP THAT STEP. I did this and it bricked my phone. Luckily, I have two of these devices so I'm currently trying to use the other to pull the firmware off, partition by partition, in hopes I can restore the first one with it, without copying over device info....we'll see lol. But yeah, all you need to do if you want this awesome guide, created by these wonderful devs, to work, is just flash the recovery image...reboot into recovery. (You can hold power and volume up until you see the screen flicker/flash, then let go of power or both power and vol up (I don't think it matters) and wala! You've got into TWRP.
Now, either install Magisk off a microSD card OR just sideload it using adb sideload (path to magisk). I used the latest Magisk from their website. (Always use software from the creator's site/forum, even when you know you can get it here...just to ensure you're getting a safe and up to date version). Once you've sideloaded Magisk, you can choose to flash any of the recoveries...(I used OrangeFox and TWRP. OrangeFox is prettty cool, but I don't see backup/restore options like in TWRP. I'm sure it's there somewhere I probably just didn't look well enough.
And other than that, this guide is awesome! I'm now rooted, unlimited data (xposed framework modules) and completely dark-mode across the device (again, xposed modules). I even changed my font with a magisk module and the boot up screen haha.
Thank you so much to the guys/girls/team that put this together. We really appreciate your effort and your sharing with us!!! You ARE AWESOME!

you are false in giving people that "advice" if you were in the test Telegram group for this device, you would surely know that 3+ people have been testing the ToolKit without issue. I post the Telegram link for a reason. So if people have an issue with something, instead of badmouthing an option or feature, you come get live help to fix the real issue at hand, which is not flashing the boot image.
So I pushed root for this device and installed a batick recovery and bootloops, trying the unbrick restore.
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

USB File Transfer
Audio
Video out for USB-C
Auto-rotate
GPS
Official Samsung Keyboard Physically attached working fine too!
Themes

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..

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.

Nope. Started from stock. Literally unlocked bootloader right before moving to GSI. Just like the steps above.

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.

Did you start from stock rom? Maybe you already flashed a vbmeta.img or multidisabler.zip some time ago which is still in effect?
I really doubt that it is possible to boot a different os if verified boot of Android is not adjusted...

OP is wrong.
Be careful flashing the latest TWRP for SMT-860 Wifi with Odin.
This happened to me today after doing it. "Error verifying vmbeta image: Invalid vmbeta header"

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.

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?

The regular arm64 image is Vanilla Android without Gapps.

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

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.
