Android 7.0 ROM For Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (T-715)

Hi
I have recently purchased Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (T-715) and rooted it. Few days back android 7.0 has released and I want to upgrade my tablet to android 7.0. It is not possible to upgrade from "About Device" menu as it gives error:
The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software update using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center.

Last year same thing happened with my Nexus 7 and then I downloaded the rom and manually upgraded it. Now I want to do the same thing for my Samsung tablet but I am unable to find the rom.
Kindly guide me that from where I can download android 7.0 rom for my tablet?
Regards

Lol, you will probably never see android 7 on your device...
It's only available for nexus and the Pixel c for the moment.
And samsung will release it just for a few models.
Galaxy tab s2 may not be one of these

Its a bad news
Is there any general version of which can be downloaded and installed? like in linux kernels we have a "vanila" version which is originally released without any patches etc.

That's not true. As SamMobile published some times ago, our sm t-715 it's likely to be updated to the latest android version 7.0. Same as the other variants. There are no official informations though, but we will see in the future what happens. Personally by one side i think that our tab has the right specs to be updated, on the other side i'm afraid about two things:
1) Samsung could be lazy and forget a relatively new and high spec device to be updated
2) Developement community isn't very populated and every version of Android Nougat that will be out unofficially (if one there will ever be) will broken fingerprint support and Mobile network on LTE variants.
P.s i'm very sorry, i wish to link you to the article i saw on internet but i cannot fin it, very sorry.

Realistically, I think we will all be waiting somewhere between 6 months to 1 year, IF this tablet gets Android 7 at all.
If not, its a case of waiting for a custom rom.
If you wanted instant updates, you should have bought the Pixel C, (as the Nexus 9 is rubbish.)

tab s1 has just got android 6 so maybe there is hope for s2 and 7

I have two questions:
1. Are custom roms safe?
2. If you find any custom rom, will you post link here?
Thanks

No, never use a custom rom. All veterans here on XDA know only the North Koreans publish custom roms in hopes of tricking a newbie to download it so they can hack your computer.
If you have a friend that is using a custom rom on their phone please block there phone number if it is not too late, as a phone call from them will affect your phone as well.

PEAMIHG ROM - what is it?

Hi,
I recently bought a Mi 8, 64 GB from a local retailer.
When MIUI 11 came out, I started looking for ways to install it - when I came to a thread suggesting to download an official global ROM, Iv'e done it.
But, I ended up with seeing an error message suggests that I can't install it since it's not compatible with the 'vendor'.
Pocking and digging around the web didn't produce any useful information..
Can I get your help with figuring out what's the origin of it?
I'd like to take it to the retailer - but I need more information that will come handy when I'm filling my complain.
Cheers,
-M

Did you unlocked the bootloader?
Did you downloaded the right rom?
I also have a mi8, 6gb ram, 64gb ROM.
The codename is dipper.
Go to Xiaomi.eu website, and download the right rom and try again

I didn't. it's a sealed box phone. everything is the same as I bought it.
I'm not quite sure that EU rom will fit, but I'll try to seek for more information there..

Isn't that an H3G phone? I think you got a phone branded H3G or whatever it's called in your country, that's why you got the vendor message error, I guess..
Don't ask me how to fix it or further details because I can't help you more than this, but if you want to, unlock the bootloader and flash the global rom. Be aware of what you're doing if you want to take it back to the retailer.

I got no such phone in my country.. I guess, it's related to a bad stock/missplaced one.
let's hope someone else knows exact details about it.
Thank you for the time spent to help.

I don't think so.. I mean, I'm not saying you did buy it, but the retailer may have sold you one of those..
Look at the name of the ROM, P stands for Android version, EA stands for dipper, MI is the region of the ROM and then..... HG, why not XM? I don't know what XM means, but I think that HG stands for H3G. You can also find ROMs ending with VF, why? Vodafone..

I woyld suggest you to try to authenticate it .

You need to open the phone and follow the instructions to setup your Mi Cloud account, setup Google and use the phone. The Miui 11 update will show up via the updater. At the time the most current global stable build remains on Android 9.
After using the phone for 360 Hours or two weeks, you can unlock the bootloader. From there install whatever you want.
Personally, I recommend the custom Xiaomi.EU rom which is also Miui 11 but based on the Android 10 Chinese beta. But of course all Chinese is removed and Google services are installed. I feel that this is best version of Miui yet.
Edit: I had never heard of the exact that you are using in HG. For this device have a specialized carrier version of Miui?
If so you will need to check with the carrier to if it is possible to unlock the bootloader. I have heard of similar cases with people who own the MiMix3 5G phones.

Thanks for all the answers.
@aittamattia
I don't really know to whom it belongs.. I'm trying to figure out this magic. I myself think that it's H3S device.
@MirceaViP
Salut. I did try it out. it ended up stating it's official international version.
@tsongming
I'd like to avoid unlocking the bootloader at the moment. I need this device to connect to a corporate account, which, requires to have the bootloader closed and unchanged.
I was talking with the reseller and he knew nothing about this H3S. We agreed to look for information together.. let's see what's going to be the end of this story.

I recently found out about these ROMs, it's just that you have to wait for the manufacturer to push the update. Also, check this link to Mi Community, it's in Spanish but look for the code name of your ROM and will help you to better understand the whole thing (and where your phone comes from.. ).

aittamattia,
I'm still not getting it - what is that ROM? who is the maintainer?

FYI : You posted this question under the Rom's, kernels and Recoveries section. A moderator will surely delete this thread when they find out about it.
Your rom is a carrier rom, you will get the update when the carrier add their own bloatware and releases to you.

Thanks for all the information.
I hope a moderator will move it to Q&A as I want to take it to the reseller to negotiate my options.

Hey,
You have a carrier specific phone. Did you buy it from Three UK?
I bought mine from there exactly one year ago. It came with MIUI 9 and running that "HG" ROM. I had to unlock the bootloader, flash the original global version and lock the bootloader afterwards.
If you don't flash the global version issued by Xiaomi, you will only be able to update to MIUI 11 when Three issue the update. Three is managing the software updates.
Don't waste your time with their customer services, they have no idea what is the software version. If you have the option to get your money back, buy it direct from Xiaomi UK or Europe.
My phone is working fine since then, I'm able to update it via OTA normally.
Please have a look on this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/xiaomi-mi8-3-uk-network-t3886669/
There are some topics on the Mi Community as well. I had a discussion with some people that had the same issue.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

Thanks for the time spent to share information about this ROM.
At the meantime, I'm trying to negotiate nicely with the reseller. It seems like he is looking for information about it as well.
Do you know if H3S got some official customer support system which I can get more inputs on it?
As for the process you've done:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed global rom
3. Relocked bootloader
After this process you were able to get OTA updates?

Hi, that's good.
I spoke to their customer services at that time, but had no luck. No one could provide any precise information about the upgrade. Maybe they are able to provide more information now.
So I decided to flash the global version by myself.
Yes, I'm getting OTA updates normally. The official global version is PEAMIXM. I'm on 11.0.6 now.
Cheers

Well,
I'm in a process of probably replacing it to the official version with actually returning the device and getting other.
if it won't work with the reseller, I'll flash a new global rom and that's it.
P.S. - I saw that there are tools that can do it without unlocking the boot loader, like using EDL. did you tired that?
Thanks

Hey!
I didn't try using EDL, maybe it's an alternative. I had to wait 360 hours to get to unlock the bootloader, then the process of flashing and relock bootloader took 15min.
There are other options of ROMs out there, but I wanted to keep it as much as original as possible.
Hope you find a solution soon!

you can flash U1CSJ1 and update to the unlocked beta version.i have the same type of phone and been running A10 since the first day sprint released it.

They updated that list and made it February. Every other phone on that list has gotten the update on time, as it was listed. I'm not saying every carrier will release it, but I think the OTA file will leak and we can all sideload it just like Android 9

Rog 2 can't update

It's been a few months after buying the ROG 2 and I updated to Android 10. Now I've got another update but can't seem to download it regardless using mobile data or wifi. Is there something I should check before updating? Didn't have any issues upgrading to android 10 but the I'm stuck at the next update. Just keep getting the error " System Update failed. Your device has reverted to it's original configuration."

Hi, same here! (Italy)
I posted this https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/help/phone-modified-firmware-t4135801.
As I wrote in the post, I sent a mail to Asus, they asked for build number details and they said my phone has a "custom firmware" I installed (???? never done that) voiding warranty. So they'll fix it but as out of warranty.
In that post you can check the build infos I've right now. Are they the same as yours?

Same here. Bought in May, auto updated (via FOTA) in June (from Android 9 to 10), and this is the second update. I don't know what to say. I hope someone else could find a solution.

Same problem, same versions of the system. Unfortunately I also contacted asus and they told me the same thing ... I hope they have not taken away the guarantee.

Do you guys have the Tencent version of the phone? If so, that could be the reason Asus says it's been modified. A lot of third party retailers will still the cheaper Tencent version with modified global ROM installed.

Could be due to the Android 10 update, prior to that everything was smooth sailing and issue free

Did you receive Android 11/ColorOS 11 ?

Hi guys !
Did anyone received the lastest Android update with package name CPH2091_11_C.01 with Android 11 ? It is said to have been officially released in Australia the 16th of December, but as far as I know, there's absolutely no information about someone who has got it anywhere. I'm taking a look like everyday for it on the web, still there's nothing...
If someone got the update, can manage to extract the downloaded package and upload it somewhere, it would be GREATLY appreciated !

Still no update for me too. I'm in The Netherlands so I guess I have to wait even longer.

I already asked Oppo France on Twitter about that, all they say is "It's currently being deployed in France" but that's clearly not true, and they won't say anything else... I would like them staying true to their communication, or at least giving information. The only thing sure is that nobody knows haha
If I can, when I'll got the update package I'll upload it somewhere for other users so they won't have to wait

Ok, so I checked the Oppo website, there was an update of ColorOS 7.2 available that my phone did not find, so I downloaded from the web and applied it in the recovery, just after rebootr checked updates and now ColorOS 11 is downloading, so you may try to search for an update on the website first.
@kremmit take me informed

Oh hey that's nice that you managed to get it. For me on OPPO site is the same version I have on the phone.

2021/01/18

Damn I have no idea then

I guess here they haven't deployed it yet. Nothing to do but wait.
But thanks for the info pal

Got it here in Belgium. First the 7.2 update, then the 11 update few days after. Not really stratified with 11. I hope there will be a new update soon to correct some things. Btw, you can use a VPN to trick the system and try to get the update through another country.

I agree, I'm not fully happy with ColorOS 11, the worst thing being the Chat Bubbles replacing the Messenger ones (but permitting to use them with Messages, WhatsApp, Messenger...). They are really horrible. Messenger is losing all the functionalities that made it a really nice application, and there's no way to bring them back as it uses a new Google API instead of the one Facebook made for it years ago.

So which version is the update c.50??

Following the tip to be on VPN so i'm connected to Belgium for the full day and just got the 7.2 update.
Hope to get the 11 update soon.

The worst thing is (for me) the Bubbles, it's a thing Google forced the developpers to use, and to be honest it's ****ty af... It replaces the good old Messenger Chat Heads which were really perfect, now it is horrible (go take a look at the review of Messenger on the Play Store and Google it, you'll see what i mean). I really hope Google will permit Facebok to use their own API back instead of forcing us to use this.

Bought this phone recently with 7.2 a.44 already installed. No sign of color 11 yet even trying VPN around the world.

Had the same problem, try to see on the official Oppo website if there's any update. In my case there was one I downloaded and installed, just after that it found the Android 11 update.

They are taking their sweet time releasing it.
I'm still on 10 and same version on their site. Waiting...

Thanks, but every oppo website I've tried has a worse update than the one that's already installed on my phone from new, the a44 on mine has February security so can't be that old.
What update and number did you find?

It was that one for me :

(Don't be afraid of the 2089 part, it did work ^^)
It's the A40, (I don't remember the version I was on before) but before installing it I did try a lot via VPN and other things to update to Android 11 without success, and after installing this manually it came up by itself
