Removing TWRP and reseting T510 back to stock. - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus

I have Samsung Galaxy Tab A T510. I have installed TWPR 3.3.1-6 and also rooted it with Magisk. I would like to remove everything and return it back to stock. By stock I mean Stock Recovery and full reset of the device. Also to lock back boot loader(to remove Knox screen at start-up).

Flashing a stock ROM with Odin will remove both TWRP and Magisk. There are instuctions already for relocking the bootloader and doing that will inclucde a "factory reset".

Can you link to this? I can't find it anywhere, and I want to do the same thing.

I have no idea by you mean "link to it". If you use Odin to flash a stock ROM, that ROM includes a recovery partition that overwrites TWRP and the stock kernel overwrites the custom kernel that was patched with Magisk. There is no need to do anything else to remove them.

return from TWRP to CWM

currently stuck on AllianceROM, with TWRP installed flashed the fonts mod and stuck on N7000 logo, tried to install zip, but twrp being just totally useless and unable to let me scroll down the menu properly just swipe down and down and automatically selected a fold. and I'm totally done with this rom and twrp find my way out... do i just flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 from there? and reboot into recovery and flash the rom i want?
Flash a stock GB ROM via PC Odin and root & install CWM on it.(See Dr.Ketan's thread for details).
Then do whatever you want.
Alliance is using safe kernel. Just follow the flash instructions of the new rom OP. That would be, I guess: Do all wipes -> flash rom -> enjoy.

Yeah, but it'll be better if he gets rid of TWRP first lest he do something wrong....

[N910C][TUTORIAL]TWRP Recovery on 5.1.1. (No root)

Hi guys Recently Samsung released 5.1.1 for our devices! So I decided to make a easy tutorial on how to install TWRP on our devices (unfortunately without root).
1. Download newest odin from Here!
2. Reboot to download mode.
3. Download this file TWRP RECOVERY
4.Flash it with AP option.
5. Done! Now You should be able to boot into TWRP Recovery.
Info
Can I restore my previous custom rom now?
Yes and no. I tried restoring two roms. AOSP and TW, aosp had a bootloop then successfully booted, and TW didn't seem to boot at all.
Does it root my device/Can I root my device now?
Nope, not yet. I tried to make a custom rom with root built in but it was stuck in a bootloop.
Why would I need this?
Well. Now You can restore Your rom, and flash other roms(Some may fail due to a newer bootloader).
Any bugs?
Sometimes first boot after flashing this recovery might bootloop, but just remove Your battery and turn on Your phone again.(Happened only once to me)

Yes... I did manage to restore the backup image of 5.1 as I ended up in bootloop while trying for the root access. So far OK with at least TWRP is working.
I have a question, If I'm on 5.1.1 and I've installed this TWRP, By using this TWRP RECOVERY, can I install 5.0.1 custom rom via zip file?
I do not mean to restore my backup rom. I mean I do a fresh installation

It seems to bootloop roms that need 5.0 bootloader. But AOSP rom that runs on 5.1.1 boots up without any problems. Just during boot You might see message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and then the rom should boot up.
I flashed twrp via odin and it says pass then reboot after that when i try to enter recovery it get me to stock recovery any clue why is that and how to solve this ? v.v
Thanks a ton bro.
thank u so much guys

Easiest way on odin is make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When its done unplug the cable pull the battery put it back in boot into twrp Let me know how it works out for you.

Phone doesn't boot, just samsung logo

Hello, I have an s3 mini I8190N model, with CM 11.0 kitkat 4.4.4(cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108) installed on it since nearly its release, the phone worked very fine, till today I entered the ROM manager app and pushed the "Boot to Recovery" button, so now it doesn't boot neither to the system nor to the recovery. I remember having CWM on it.
What I get now is only the "Samsung S3 mini..." splash screen, nothing else.
I have these files ready on my computer:
Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-TOUCH-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip
cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108.zip
What should I do now ??
You probably soft bricked your phone, I suggest you to check if you still can go into download mode and flash with Odin a wipe file and then a stock rom, once it is working again flash twrp recovery instead of cwm with Odin and try not to use rom manager, I've heard it causes the brick you have.

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

I will install TWRP through Odin v3 on the phone, then I'll flash without wiping data, then I'll recover necessary data(especially contacts) and then redo a clean install with wiping all the rubbish files.
I will tell you after I follow these steps on whether it was successful or not.
Thank you very much!

No problem, flash the custom recovery after the stock rom though.

Effectively, I installed the missing recovery software (TWRP), and after that I selected from the boot menu in TWRP the "System" entry, then it booted fine and I didn't lose any of my data. Though I have to make a clean flash next time, by cleaning the dalvik cache... etc.
Thank you for your support!

Hi OP!
Thanks for this article, it really is helpful,but I have 2 questions about it:
if I want to use the linked "ROM: Original stock ROM, UNROOT and UNMODIFIED." on my rooted, TWRP recovery 815 device , I will have to unroot my device also have to install stock recovery beforehand, am I right? Because if I try to install it via Odin it will brick my Tab S2.
I am asking it, because it was more than half a year since I updated my Tab S2, because it has stock ROM on it, with TWRP and root and I didn't wanted to deal with everything before update (unroot, stock recovery, ROM install via odin, twrp install again, root again etc.), since there is not stock update that I could istall via TWRP unfortunately.
My other question is what is Chinese special version ROM(T815c)? Why is it special? I am European so I don't speak Chinese either, not to mention my device is the basic 815, not 815c.
Thanks.

Hi, if you want to update your system to the latest version, I'm afraid in most of the cases you'll need to unroot at least unless your supersu has a recover OTA option in it, otherwise if you want to flash ROMs that I listed or other ROMs need to be flashed with Odin, you'll need to clear all the data in your device and flash, of course you can directly flash it without any wipe, but possibly something will go wrong. In your case if you only want to upgrade your system, you can find other ROMs here in xda and flash it with recovery, but even if you use recovery, there's no guarantee that nothing will go wrong without wiping anything. My suggestion is to backup your data first, and maybe find a recovery update package and directly flash it with recovery, no need to unroot or wipe other than Cache, but in case anything went wrong, you can use ROMs provided here and flash them with Odin to recovery your device, of course, if something went wrong, you'll have to wipe everything to do that.
About the Chinese version, if you don't use the T815c version, thedn you don't need to care about that, it's for Chinese buyers who bought the Chinese version.
Let me know if you have further questions.

Could you send me a description how to unroot? After that I should flash the stock recovery via Odin and flash the ROM via Odin as well, am I right?

Actually what you should do is to wipe all the data in the phone and then flash the ROM, no need to unroot or flash recovery separately, wipe can do all that for you, of course if you don't want to wipe all the data, you can try and directly flash the ROM(it's risky but sometimes it also works perfectly), then if something went wrong, you can wipe the data and flash again to recover.

I did not know it should be that simple, I owned a HTC, LG and Huawei phones but in all of them I have to unroot and install the stock recovery.
Oh, ok. I should do a full Wipe with Odin? I know there's an opinion in TWRP too.

Help| Get to stock Kernel and unroot

Hi, I have a OP3t running OOS4.1.1 with ElementalX Kernel.
I would like to go back to stock settings. Stock Kernel, Recovery, unroot, and maybe lock bootloader.
I've seen a lot of videos showing how to get back to stock but they showed it with the stock Kernel.
I am a little bit scared to follow their instructions since I have a different Kernel.

Oh wow so I don't even need to erase my personal data.
Just flash the OOS Zip with TWRP and then flash the stock recovery from fastboot, or it must be from TWRP?
