don't android 10 has bugs unless you want to use custom rom
for one thing the wifi driver is bad ..your speed will go 20Mbps max and it will disconnect
ONLY upgrade if you gonna use root, custom kernel and custom rom....

Android 8.0 on the SM-T285

As many of you heard, android 8 has now been officially released. I will be working to get an AOSP version working on the 7" LTE tablet, I have heard that there may be significant HAL changes so it may take some time. I have just released the august update for the SM-T285, I've been also working to get a stable repo out for this device in the last couple of weeks. Anyway wish me luck.
Update 08/24/2017 - I was able to download the 8.0.0_r4 aosp sources and got it to compile the modified device tree. There seems to be significant changes with some HAL libraries, vendor specific libs are now moved to its own place in the system image. Will now proceed to actual testing and porting.

Great! Is there ANY chance you wil make an extra effort to release this for the SM-T280 also?
AFAIK the only difderence is LTE versus WiFi only [emoji4] ?

I won't be directly developing for the T280 sadly. There may be subtle differences at the kernel level and some components (e.g. GPS, touchscreen) which prevents ROMs for the T285 from working with the T280. However my work with the T285 should greatly speedup development for the T280 once the first custom ROMs arrive.

Is this just non stock roms? I've had stock T285 roms running on my T280 without issue.

I remember some people tried on my CM/Lineage/Omni based roms on their T280 and it failed to boot, though I can't tell the method they used to flash those ROMs so it is possible that their methods are incorrect. As for stock ROMs this is new information for me if that is the case. I am unable to verify these as I don't have a T280, though if there is a dev who would like to try if would be nice.

my oreo build isn't usable at the moment, wifi doesn't work and you can't turn the screen back on after turning it off. Trying to figure out if this is a LineageOS issue or a hardware issue takes too much time, I'm waiting for the first official builds of Lineage OS to start rolling out before I spend more time on this.
Bacoor,
I've just bought a Galaxy Tab A6 LTE (SM-T285) and haven't rooted or done anything to an android phone in over 5 years. Feeling Green as hell! I'm back to being a newbie. Any suggestions you can offer to me on a guide and which TWRP and Android I should install on my phone. I'll need some tutorial help as I feel uneasy. Last Time I did rooting and custom roms was way back on the HTC Hero and then the HP Touchpad to Cyanogenmod.
Well with Oreo comes project treble which does in fact mess with the HAL libraries a lot. Maybe that means there is hope the Galaxy Tab A Line will get "Treble-ized".
Good news if we are.

Hiii bro....sohail here and i have samsung galaxy tab a6 sm-t285 and i want nougat/oreo update in it plz help me bro.....what can i do..? Please let me know as soon as you can....hope you help me...:fingers-crossed
I am still on Android 5.1.x rooted, and probably only version for T285 which every feature is tested working.
Intended to upgrade to Android 6 or 7, but there isn't any stable firmware which is bug-free (ie. GPS and video recording).
Not optimistic on 8.0 being bug-free when the 6 and 7 not fixed after such a long wait (months).

I'd update to android 7. Its a great update for my Tab A. Samsung removed a lot of bloat in this update and it runs great.

How Do I Test this ROM
I have a T285 and I want to test this rom where do I download it?

What to do?

I received info about Android 9 Pie OTA upgrade today. I'm not sure what to do? Is it worth to install upgrade or not? I've heard a lot of bad experiences about Pie. Any suggestion about install this upgrade or not...
You can install it... But one note if you want about smaller bug... "After update please recovery your data../ reset data " ... I'm running with Pie but manual update.. and i'm not sure about many bug on this build [emoji4]

Samsung Android 10 update for T510

I just read on Samsung's site that the T510 update to Android 10 isn't due until Sept 2020. No doubt we will all be running a custom Android 11 long before that.

With certain firmware you can't downgrade. Can run custom P with Q bootloader.

If the version of Q you are on has the same bootloader as the last Pie you can Odin back to Pie

Any P custom rom. I'm on Ambasadii. There is also Ultimate.
Which variant are you using? N960F or N9600?
I know on the N9600, you can Odin atleast 3 versions back before the bootloader blocks it from going lower.

You need P kernel for P rom.
Q kernel for Q rom.
Q bootloader for Q rom.
Q bootloader is bootable for P rom, so it doesn't matter if you can't downgrade. You mentioned that the phone has twrp, so just flash a P rom if you don't want Q(but of course custom rom only, not official).
I upgraded my phone's booloader to android 10(baseband XXU4DSLA) before I flash SuperStable rom(android 10) but a bit buggy so restore back nandroid backup of Ambasadii(android 9). So my phone is now with andorid 10 bootloader but Pie rom
Thread Cleaned.

I'm not able to downgrade I went ahead and did the dev bass 7.2 took it all the bootloader and all and I'm not able to revert back to the pi bootloader so what am I to do?. I absolutely despise and hate Android 10 with every fiber of my being
Are you able to provide me with a copy of your nandroid backup? I'm willing to try anything to get back on the pie bootloader and a pie ROM. I'm almost to the point now where I am wanting to sell this phone even though I do not want to sell it.

?You can flash a custom Pie rom eventhough your phone has android 10 bootloader. Just download a rom and flash it through twrp.
Just ignore the booloader.

Little help with update

Hi guys,
I'm running android 9 ui 1.0 with root on my note9 n960f Exynos and want to update to android 10 ui 2.5.. And i'll be honest with everything that's gone on last year, with a 2 month stint in hospital - due to having covid and then with all the bull**** with job etc.. I not 100% in thinking I can remember what to do - so thought ask first. I was going to try Official Lineage CFW but if anyone suggest anything else(happy to check) Also can someone point me to correctly updating phone, is it flash stock 10 ui 2.5 first then the CFW or can I go straight to CFW.. Sorry for such a Derp question, but I been told I can update straight from 9 but hear says " OVER FULLY STOCK ANDROID 10 FIRMWARE " so guessing that right ! and also that with no root then? Sorry guys,but my note 9 my baby till maybe a Note 20 Ultra when contact out in 8 months. and on top of everything else - I don't want a bricked phone ;( Any help most welcome guys .. many thanks !!

So you are running a rooted custom rom now?
Technically you should be able to install a new custom rom ... but ... best to check the rom thread of the new custom rom you want to flash.
And stick to the recommended installation method. Usually in one of the first posts of that thread.
