So I bought a ME70CX yesterday, and the first thing I did was root & debloat it. Unfortunately I removed Google Play services while at it, and discovered Play Store wouldn't work. So I restored to factory settings to recover the apps, and now I am stuck in the Setup Wizard, at the Wi-Fi part. When choosing a Wi-Fi to connect to, the tablet first tries to connect for 20-30 seconds before crashing, which restarts the wizard from the beginning. I have tried flashing with firmware, but it returns the error message "No detect APD image file. skip!" Followed by "Can't find image file". This causes the flash to fail.
So basically what I am looking for is an answer to the following questions:
Can I repair it? Can I uninstall the Setup in order to bypass it, or bypass it any other way?
Or a guide to flash firmware for this particular model.
Thanks

I have a rooted Gt-P1000 it crashed and now right from factory reset it keeps saying process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. I can get onto the internet through going back through the initial set up screen after reset. I can also download something to get a download failed to get to my files. All system files fail to restore.
I have no working menu settings and process android fault constantly appears. I also get process.com.android.setupwizard has unexpectedly stopped. I have searched the internet and found no answers.
I went and bought a new pad only to find z4root does not work any more. And oneclick is an unopenable file!
Hence i have an unrooted pad that is as much use as a chocolate fireguard and a rooted one that is corrupt. The unrooted one is crap as i work in saudi and need to run market enabler, which wont run here unless routed. Please can someone give me an UPTODATE METHOD OF ROOTING, TELL ME HOW TO FIX FAULT, THANX!
Do a hard reset: switch off the tab and boot into recovery by holding volume up and power button. choose factory reset.

Already done loads of resets, as above - after reset i still have all the above problems!
Hi, I assigned a pattern lock and I wanted to make a more complicated one.. and well, I simply forgot the stepps to it. So now, I can't unlock the phone, I kept trying all ways possible, after 5 failed attempts it tells me to wait 30 secconds. So I kept trying but I'm not getting a sign in with google promt, it just tells me to wait 30 more secconds. I tried pressing the soft reset button next to the sim tray and that didn't help.
Everything I found on google says that after 5 wrong attempts I'll be asked for my google id, but I'm not getting such a promt. I even went to Android device manager and tried to put a lock password to it but it says it already has one.
I'm on Lollipop by the way, 5.0.1
How do I get into recovery mode to factory reset it, I'm having trouble finding that too.
have you tried repairing the phone with the pc companion?
[pc companion => support zone => phone software update => repair my phone]
Doesn't Device Manager let you factory erase the phone?
Hi,
I've got XT1068, updated to 6.0 Marshmallow. In the past, I got it FDE (full disk encrypted).
Few days ago I unlocked my bootloader to gain root access on my phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/simplified-modifying-boot-img-t3317605
everything went as expected, but by unlocking it wiped all userdata, so I wanted to re-encrypt the phone (and the external SD especially). But now, encryption fails, telling me "encryption fails, you have to reset your phone" each time I start the encryption, ending in a userdata-wipe.
So I thought about going back to stock fw.
After locking the bootloader and applying stock 6.0 FW, I tried again to encrypt the phone, but I am still unable to do so.
Can someone help me giving some suggestions, how I can fix that behavior and (mainly) how to get some errors/debug shown?
When selecting "encrypt now", the green android symbol with black background is shown for 5seconds, then the phone reboots, shows the bootscreen with the M, then it restarts again (after ~30minute) and shows after another 20seconds the message that something went wrong encrypting.
Ok it seems that I found out the problem in my case by myself.
Instead of using mfastboot.exe -w to delete the data and cache partition, I used recovery mode to delete userdata. I did it twice, since the first run, returns some errors.
After reset, I started the phone and got the fresh-install screen. I skipped mobile and wifi networking and did not entered google account details. Then I restarted the phone and waited for ~5minutes and tried to encrypt - everything works. Everytime I started encryption without waiting for some time it failed.
I hope I can save someone else some time, since factory reset takes ~15minutes each time you do it.
Hi everyone!
I am trying to root my Tab S2 (T810, Android 6.0.1). Unfortunately it ended up in a boot loop (see title).
What I did was, I grabbed the appropriate file from https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ (fd1ea2ee91ab5569e7150610f4893565) and flashed the .md5 file using the AP button in Odin. After that, the tablet rebooted into the boot loop.
Now I'll try to flash the firmware again to make the tablet work again. So far I'm waiting for the download As far as I understood, I should not lose any data by doing this, right?
Now I wonder, what my mistake was and if the tablet will be rooted after flashing the original firmware (I guess not).
Thanks in advance for any help!
After flashing to original firmware, the tab came back to life. I didn't lose any data, but it's still not rooted.
If I try the rooting again, I get into the same bootloop again. So I guess I'm doing something wrong
I'm following this tutorial: https://dottech.org/198028/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-sm-t810-on-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/
In other tutorials they also had a step for "oem unlock" on my tablet there isn't this option in the developer options.
Does anyone know how I can root my tablet?
I managed to root my tablet, but now I get the popup "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." every few seconds, it closes itself.
What I did was, I flashed TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-x-lollipop-5-1-1-t3205686) and from TWRP I flashed SuperSU (https://download.chainfire.eu/1012/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip).
Seems to be fixed after:
Resetting app preferences (Settings/Applications/Application Manager/More/Reset app preferences)
Clearing data of contacts, chrome and calendar (including the storage apps, More/Show system apps)
So I've had success rooting the SM-T377V thanks to electronhacker post on the forums.
I thought I would give my experience because anyone else doing this will most likely run into the same problems I did. I still have a few problems I am running into. I hope someone can help me out.
electronhacker had said to downgrade to stock firmware LMY47X.T377VVRU1AOL7 (5.1.1) Lollipop, from firmware MMB29K.T377VVRS1BPL1 (6.0.1) Marshmallow using Odin.
I ran into problems finding LMY47X.T377VVRU1AOL7 but I eventually did find it on samsung-firmware.org Thank you moonsh0t!
It did actually work and passed with Odin, however it got stuck in a bootloop. I thought there was nothing that could be done but after looking into the bootloop matter more I figured out how to get out of it and start it up.
1.) Wait for the device to turn off while it's bootlooping.
2.) Then hold down the power button and the volume up buttons to enter recovery mode.
3.) Restore factory defaults. "I think this actually gave me an error but clearing the cache got it to work."
4.) Clear the cache.
5.) Reboot the device.
There you have it now you're out of your bootloop, the device will start up now.
Now that we have downgraded electronhacker had said to run a program called Kingoroot using the Windows application.
I ran Kingoroot and it got stuck at 44% and my screen went black and would not come on or turn off. I am pretty sure you call this a soft brick, but maybe it's called hard brick as there was nothing that could be done.
So this is what I did to Unbrick the tablet:
1.) Hold the power button and the volume down button for 15 to 30 seconds.
2.) The screen should come back on.
3.) Scroll through settings to reboot device normally.
I tried to use Kingoroot again. This time it got stuck at 51% and my screen on the tablet got stuck. Nothing was responding, not the power buttons, the volume buttons, home button, nor the screen. This is because Google Application had showed up on the tablet while I was in the middle of rooting. The Google Application said "Do you want to enable Google Security?".
Again;
1.) Hold the power button and the volume down button for 15 to 30 seconds.
2.) The screen should come back on.
3.) Scroll through settings to reboot device normally.
The device booted normally and I tried Kingoroot again. I wasn't going to give up. This time it worked, 100% Root Successful. I couldn't believe it the SM-T377V was rooted. I checked and verified with Root Checker.
Now this is where I need help!
#1.) The device only stays rooted until you restart it. Then you have to Re-Root it with Kingoroot every time you restart. I found out if you run SuperSu and go into setting you can stop this from happening. I'm not exactly sure what you do yet because I can NOT get into SuperSu. It tried to install the binaries but gets interrupted by Knox. It says disable Knox on SuperSu but this does NOT work. This tablet does NOT have a way to open Knox in order to disable it. So I need to figure out how to delete it that way I can run SuperSu and stop the never ending root process. So if someone could help me figure out how to do that I would very much appreciate it.
So far I've figured out that you can run an application called Titanium Backup to freeze the Knox files and then remove them followed by a Re-Boot to get rid of Knox. I looked further into my SuperSu problems and found out that you can manually download a SuperSu.apk file that should bypass Knox and actually disable it.
Here is my new problem, installed Titanium Backup from Google Play Store only to find out that I can't freeze the Knox settings unless I pay the $5.99 for Titanium Backup Pro. So I removed Titanium Backup and downloaded Titanium Backup Pro.apk which I found for free on the internet. I can NOT install it though, because I have a new error that says "APP not installed".
This happens with the SuperSu.apk that I found on the internet too. I've tried a lot of things but can't get them to install. Google Play Store gives me error (-504) I've tried clearing cache and data for Google Play Store and Google Play Services but no luck. I even tried downloading APK Installer but it doesn't even work. Please help I don't know what to do.

<UPDATE>
I'm at a loss, so I decided to do a factory reset from settings and that did not get the applications to install. So then I tried to clear the cache but again no suck luck. Then I decided to enter recovery mode and factory reset, but then got stuck on "Your tablet is getting ready for you". or something along the lines of that and wouldn't get past that on start up. (This is because I disabled setup with another application, and is my fault.) Not being able to get past that I realized I had no choice but to Re-Flash the System Update LMY47X.T377VVRU1AOL7 (5.1.1) Lollipop with Odin and that was successful, thank God. Now I have to Re-Root and before installing the wrong applications, which are Google Play Store SuperSu and Titanium Backup. Reason being that once you install these once and uninstall them you can't install them again without getting error (-504) in Google Play Store or even outside the Google Play Store such as manually downloaded .APK files or you will get the error "APP not installed".
Here is my idea, and I haven't done it yet. Re-Flash, Re-Root, Install for the FIRST time the right SuperSu.apk and Titanium Backup Pro.apk in order to disable Knox and stop the never ending Re-Root every time the tablet it restarted.

<UPDATE>
I have been running Kingoroot with my PC using USB. This gives me temporary Root access until Re-Boot. So I installed Kingoroot.apk and tried using to mobile application but this one works, but I get stuck in bootloop on restart of tablet. Then have to Re-Flash with Odin to get out of bootloop. I'm not having any luck.
#2.) Even with my temporary root I can not seem to install Xposed because of SDK 22 not supported. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to get it to work on SDK 22 so I can run IMEI Changer. Unless there is another way to change the IMEI without Xposed.
Thank you to electronhacker for your post I found on this forum which has made me a lot of progress, and thank you moonsh0t for your help redirecting me to find that firmware. :good:
I just got a SM-T377V this weekend and have been trying o root it as well. Wow seems like nobody has had any luck getting a reliable root on it. Please update me as you keep at it! Brent your attempts at this are amazing!! Keep at it!
I'm trying to get this thing rooted too, so please keep me updated if you find a
Way!! Thanks for your help!
Yep
Ok
Same issues here. I never have trouble rooting with the APK, but its super annoying having to reroot all the time. also the superuser app is absolute cancer so learning to replace that would be dope.
Alright, so your goal is to run an IMEI changer, but why?
Also my luck was to get it temped root and try and use chainfire's supersu to take over.
from there I tried unlocking the bootloader with samdunk. The issue though, is the CID was deleted from the tablet, so when I restarted, never ending bootloops.
I just Odin'd it back to the AOL firmware today, will look more into samdunk later.

If you use Odin to flash android 5.1.1 via package T377VVRU1AOL7, you can use the kingroot or kingoroot app (desktop or android) to temporarily root the device. From there, if you delete the kingroot or kingoroot app from the device you can use SuperSu to take the binary over. From there you can use any flashing apps you'd like.
The issue is at this point, the second the device turns off, when it comes back it will no longer have root. (note so far in my attempts I've found that Kingroot, will reboot rootless, whereas kingoroot will bootloop.)
Kingoroot will bootloop because it modifies the boot file in some way, which causes the bootlooping. The work around to this is just flashing over the previous android. However, if you flash with Odin, you lose root, but keep your files.
Going back to flashing, when you attempt to use Odin to flash other packages, they are denied, due to the locked bootloader, however, you can use Flashfire to flash these firmwares. I attempted to flash the T-377P firmware and bootloader. Obviously the locked bootloader stayed locked, the recovery partition got errored out, but the android system itself actually started. Just sans root.
It's worth noting I've also attempted using SamDunk, the S5 bootloader unlocking tool, and so far all I've noticed is it deletes the CID file and doesn't finish. So I'm of the impression that the temp root, isn't a full root either.
