Need help wiping galaxy tab s2 - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all I h about everything a tab s2 from verizon, model number sm-T8717V. I got this laptop from my old job. They let me keep it but it's locked up tighter then fort Knox. It using Knox mobile enrollment I can't using the normal methods to erase the data due to the IT restrictions. Is there a way I can wipe this table to using odin to remove all the restrictions so I can use it as a normal tablet?? I cant even use the darn home button!! any and all help would be awesome!!

Is it mdm locked? Which firmware is it running?

Yea I think it is locked. I think it's on Nougat or marshmallow. Not any the new firmware that's for sure

Do you get the 'blocked by mdm' notice when trying to factory reset via recovery?
Also could you post the actual firmware build.
You can find it in the 'about' section.

Firmware version is 5.1.1
When I do factory reboot like how you normally would it just reboots like a fresh tablet but then Knox pops up. That's why I was wondering if I flash a firmware (if I can find one) with Odin maybe that will work.......?

Factory reboot or Factory reset?
Can you post a screen shot of this pop up?

It's actually both. When it completes said process Knox Mobile Enrollment pops up regardless of the method. Do you think the method I think would work? Flash with custom ROM using odin?

Here you go, let us know if anything helps.

I'm 99% sure it will work because they are literally the same phone. It's just different carrier settings.. In any case if the file is not compatible with your phone then it simply wont flash. No worry of a brick.
Is there a link available yet? Sorry for the rush but I'm pretty excited. (I can't pull the update since I have a T-Mobile SIM in my AT&T S6.)

The man, that is your title! THANK YOU! Us Cricket customers will be flashing shortly. I have AT&T device but Cricket service and the OTA just is not coming through.
Link is live everyone. PLEASE someone let me know if this wipes your data or not. Thank you and happy flashing
I'm having trouble downloading. I was at 0.5 GB/1.6 GB and the download stopped; now I can't even access the download page.
EDIT: never mind
Should I be adding all 4 files to ODIN? My biggest problem is that my phone is still on OE2 and I'm having problems updating.
Somebody pls make a flashable version of this so we can still keep root.
So this will burn a e-fuse? Is it supposed to? Does that hurt warranty as well?

oh, I got confused. I thought the OP said our e-fuse would be set off, but he's saying it will be set off if we try and downgrade.
Does this update delete personal data? Or does it just update.

Dude thanks for posting these! When the 5.1.1 update was first rolled out I noobed it up and tried to get my device ready by flashing back to stock. It was rooted and on OF4 via the FlashFire method to keep root but when I flashed to the original stock it ended up wiping my baseband and as a result I lost data for two days. I just flashed these and now all is well again. Thanks again!
Data deleted

need firmware for SM-T817A

so extracted the zip and put ap in Odin and it worked. but I have no cell signal no lte or anything. it shows att but nadda. did I do some wrong? should I have put all 4 files in the spots in odin?
also I found there is now an oem unlock. does that mean I can unlock this bootloader or get perm root? or twrp?
thanks
You need to flash all of them in the appropriate slots, but you probably can get away with just the modem. That should get your signal back.
Enable OEM unlock before rooting with Kingroot again.
You can't install twrp or supersu as you still have a locked bootloader.

Thanks my friend, you really do help, not only me but a lot of ppl!
I just did all 4 anyways....
Tried king root 4.8.0 and it put a different kind of warring on screen (blue screen over entire tab that read unauthorized software install, go to an at&t store now, or something) that also tripped Knox to = 1 (yes I had oem unlocked).
So at this point I will try anything.......Goin to try king root 4.8.2!

I sent my tablet to Samsung Repair a few weeks ago (they replaced the battery and LCD due to overheating /freezing up), and just got it back today in the mail. It had Android Marshmallow 6.0 on it when I sent it to them, when I got it back today it has Lollipop 5.1. I tried to update through system update, and when it restarted to flash the update, it failed.
So I tried to reset it back to stock in the Backup/Reset option in settings and when it restarted to reset to Factory, I got this message :
"dm-verity verification failed...
need to check drk"
So I flashed this stock ROM you provided here, hoping a clean slate would fix the problem, and it flashed perfectly in ODIN. Then I tried to update to Marshmallow again, and after it downloaded and restarted to update it said "FAILED"
I have no idea how to update now.
How in the world does Samsung repair then send back a tablet that can't update!
Can you please help in any way?
I really don't want to send my tablet back for a third time and wait 2-3 more weeks, especially after the Samsung Note 7 recall, probably take months to get back. My wife is still waiting for her Note 5 screen to be replaced and they have had her phone almost a month now.

I still have no idea htf samsung pay works on every cc terminal, even old ones without NFC. Food lion and Best Buy are about the only places i frequent that accept Android pay. At Food lion, any location, after i tap the terminal all the instructions on the terminal LCD screen turn from english to spanish lol.
any way to make this into a flashable zip for flashfire? or flashing the files with flashfire without deleting everything? i doubt we can flash it like we would in odin as a firmware update but creating a zip and clearing caches just might work if the bl and rc is the same. not sure but im looking to update to this but don't want to go thought the whole set up and everything. i might anyway, not sure yet.

If you have a full backup then why not just flash new firmware with odin? Flash, root, restore data. Cant really get much easier or faster. What advantages are you seeing with a flashable zip that maybe i'm missing?
Some people do not have access to a computer to use odin maybe? Faster and easier to use flashfire as well. Odin is fine for me though.
Hi, I have the SM-G35U firmware currently installed on my AT&T phone. If I install this, will it wipe my phone or I can just download this over the old firmware (and still keep all my data).

Yes, it will clear out your phone (downloads, data, etc). So before you flash the firmware. Make a complete back up just in case.

advantages would be doing everything on one device like flashing the update and restoring data at the same time. and further more possibly making the flashable zip pre rooted and debloated. making it almost a cutom stock rom without the at&t and samsung bloat. and for people wanting an unrooted install then odin would be more useful for flashing it in my opinion. having root now and flashfire i dont really see the need to have to use odin still for every update unless it has a new bl.

Please help! After flash this ROM from odin, It won't boot up and stuck at Android Recovery screen. It said dm-verification fail.... need to check DRK first......
Can some one give me the link to the file to fix this issue please? I just found the file G925F_6.0.1_fixdrk. I did not see the file to fix G925A.
Thanks in Advance!
Works very well installed it directly from 5.1.1 with BOJ9
Thanks!
Worked for me as well, but i noticed by battery is draining faster. When my screen is on you can just see the battery vanish no matter what application i use. I came from CPF1 to this and i am thinking of going back since i could get a day and some on my phone..
Running factory stock AT&T firmware.
worked fine for me from Vietnam
I had no trouble with this, and was actually the only firmware that fixed the issue I created during a hastily thought out root attempt.
Appreciate it
I'm in Georgia too so nobody should have any trouble if you set up Odin correctly.
You will have to re-flash another modem, but it gets the phone to boot correctly.

Best way to start new? Odin or reset to factory?

Hey,
I just want to completely reformat my phone. What would be the best way, flashing stock FW using Odin, or simply doing a reset to factory via settings? I don't care about data/time/etc just want the best way to start new on the latest FW (which the phone is currently on right now).
It's an unlocked SM-N950U1 for the US market, direct from samsung.
Thanks!

it helps to know the variant model you have now first. Is it unlocked abroad, or the states. Is it locked to carriers, or a mnvo. Odin can be a crap shoot, and no assurance of a custom rom working. Mainly KNOX security, thanks to samdumb does prevent roll backs, and i'm sure the next replies from others will guide you. Be sure, you know the risks. One WORD......BRICKED. Im not here to debate this, and until further info on present device model, not much can be said now. You can do a FDR via the button reset manner or menu UI driven. Odins for custom flashes of variants of firmware IF permissible.
Damn, totally forgot. This is an unlocked SM-N950U1 for the US market, direct from samsung.

what are your intentions to improve its performance if needed or desired since its unlocked anyway. what isnt working or what do you want to add or change.

I have the Exynos model, but my rule of thumb is generally to flash firmware through Odin. Factory reset is fine too, but if things are still wonky then something could have become corrupted (in which case a clean Odin flash will replace those files with the proper ones and solve the issue).
