So I have not been able to obtain this firmware but figured I'd share to see what you ladies/gents could figure out.
http://www.romup.com/search?version=G950USQU1AQCF
Also there is a thread in general discussion and questions section regarding an All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 firmware.
idk, seems pretty fishy to me, every I link I see is to pay to download sites for this file. You would think that there would be somewhere online where its free. Probably a bogus download.
lots of scams out there
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I actually paid for a damn firmware this morning All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 and received the download from sams-eng.com . Later however I found it for free. Oh well. Haha.

Can you link it please! Where did you find the free one?
I found the free one for the 955 and 950 i was able to find the unlock bootloader option through it not sure if it will work. Was more interested in the boot.img
Not saying it isn't a scam, but romup is actually a fairly reputable site. People posting leaked firmware all the time straight from the factory. A few other Asian sites like this one have some juicy stuff, not just for Exynos/other unlocked loader models. So don't discourage it, translate it and see what they have to say and maybe even test it. I personally don't want to take the risk with my phone but someone kinda has to. Anyways, done with my little rant.
Would this Engboot be good for snapdragon variants? I remember the S7 Edge had a locked bootloader, but you could still atleast root it

Im working on this right now. Give me a little bit had a kid last year so im trying my best to get this done right now while i have time.
Wait so do you have a copy of that firmware? I can't obtain that one bc I have no way of paying in yuan.
Also is there a way to flash a firmware where root is natively in the firmware? I always thought we had to unlock the bootloader and root and then flash recovery. Unless it was the recovery that always tripped knox.
Hi Br3w3r,
I just wanted to say thanks and ask you a little about how you coerce these engineering firmwares to allow root mode. Do you reverse engineer it? Just curious.
Found a newer version of ODIN and enabled the grayed out buttons. Maybe it could help?
ODIN 3.12.7 with UMS and USERDATA already enabled: https://mega.nz/#F!8WxRwDwa!seZLQVSoWTrz2CJkbdxTkQ
Interesting... so if I am reading this right. Someone is trying to work on snapdragon now?
I have purchased a copy of the firmware posted by the OP, although it was bought off of a different website. This is a factory binary, that has SElinux as permissive, OEM unlock says it unlocks bootloader, etc

Have people been able to successfully root their Mediapads? I can't find any reliable/stable methods for TWRP or similar. The only solution at the moment is the one that greatslon created; no one/very few have confirmed that this works. Are there any stock firmwares/recoveries available yet either?
I followed the instructions given in the other thread. It was not a 1-click straight path, but it eventually worked just great and my M3 is rooted since a couple of months now, it works like a charm and it's super stable.

I'm curious, do you have a US version or other version of this tablet? I have the US version and I cannot get TWRP that's posted in your linked thread to even boot. Trying to narrow down why it works for some and not others.
Thank you.

I'm French, bought it in France from a french dealer.
It does not look to be a french-specific model though, I would rather say "European model" as the included documentation comes in different EU languages.
In case that's relevant info my model is BTV-DL09 and build # is BTV-DL09C100B003
And from instructions given here, my OEMINFO is:
Vendor= hw
Country= eu
I'm located in the US (Atl) and we only have the WiFi only tablet here.
Model# BTV-W09
Build# BTV-W09C128B002
OEMINFO - ? Currently I can't boot TWRP or root so I can't retrieve it.
I do appreciate you sharing your info.

I'm in the same boat as you man. I posted in the greatslon thread that it didn't work for me and the OP nor anyone else cared to reply. I too have the US wifi only variant so maybe that's the reason why. As of right now I'm stuck using the stock device with just the bootloader unlocked.
I don't know why the hell this device isn't more popular it has stupid good specs and build quality for its sub $300 price. And an unlockable bootloader. You'd figure the dev community of the nexus 7 would be all over it.

There is one real thread with a mish-mash of different model numbers. I am sceptical to trust that one home-made/freelance custom recovery will be the solution for everyone. I appreciate all the work that has been put in, but without more evidence that it will work, I'm staying clear. It's a shame as this tablet looks and feels great; it just needs the freedom of root. Unfortunately, as the rest of the world moves onto Nougat, an unrooted Huawei tablet running Marshmallow becomes less appealing. Lets hope our devices don't die too early.
Model: BTV-W09
Build: BTV-W09C100B003
Greatslon modded version of TWRP works fine with the US variant of the MediaPad M3. After I gave up trying to simply boot into it rather than flash it over my stock recovery I've not had any problems. If it was bricking device's you would see numerous complaints in his thread. After it was discovered that there was a difference between tablets depending where you purchased it he corrected for it.

None yet, it's the base for getting root, once we find a way to get it to stay rooted. It's mainly for those who upgraded to the 2nd iteration of the bootloader and can't downgrade to a rootable firmware (It's been confirmed by a few to work with the new Cyborg rom, albeit without root).
As of right now, unless you know why you need it, it's best to leave it alone.

Well, I may have spoke too soon, you guys might want to take a look here in the Cyborg rom thread, seems they have a modified U2 bootloader they're flashing and retaining root. One member has volunteered to do a factory reset to see if it survives, but if so, v2 bootloader may now be rootable, or at least on the right track for public use.

Thanks for answering that man. Haha. That's awesome that the guys got stuff moving that quickly. I knew that they had the files also,but, held off as long as they could until I came along.
But another useful feature I've noticed in this combo firmware is that there is an open unlock option now and mine sticks after reboot. I tried build roms, kernels,etc.. in the past that ended in ultimate failure. I'd like to start again. At the moment I just cruise the foreign forums grabbing whatever software I can find. I kinda have building only the tree down, not so much, as it's been years. I used to build Linux OS's a long time ago but forgot. I'll do my own research here if it, anybody wants to teach, I'm all ears, all eyes. Aloha
If you heard of these guys http://prophoneunlock.ca/ , i highly recommend that you do not purchase anything from them! i was asking the seller a couple times if he was sure the ENG_ROOT file would root the bootloader v2 and he said the source said "YES." what a bunch of bull. So i attempted flash about 5 times and guess what? FAIL!. For the sale the person was quick to respond, for the problem and refund......no response. These guys are weasels and if i were you steer clear away unless you like making donations to bums like these. Thank you and ill post everytime i find a burnt out link like these.
Sorry but just trying to do my part and keep people away from dishonest people like these.
Thanks for the heads up.

Ive had those files for a whike now bro. I had em posted, pretty sure i was the first one but now its everywhere. I am looking for the root for it. Ive tried and tried rooting but nothing. I am currently on QK5 with the Eng boot so its permissive kernel. But no root i advise not to try this as now my fingerprint sensor does not work.
podagee,
Are you trying that out on an AT&T S8+?
I could be wrong, but my guess would be that if there is a software method to root, it'll be found someplace on XDA. Now an electronic gadget method might be another thing.
Try flashing a rooted system image overtop of the combination firmware.
I need some help if possible with this SM-580. I saw a post that had info on bypassing the frp lock. But the post dint go into enough details, and it was copied from a post a few months back which I tried to locate and could not.
And I wasn't sure if it was the right info for my device.
Here all info on my Tablet.
It's a 10" Black 16GB Samsung SM-T580UD
Android 7.0
And it has been reset asking for google login info.
Any help is much appreciated.
.....Thanks for any help

The reason no one has responded is that the questioned has been asked and answered so many times that anyone should be able to find the answer on their own. There is even a step by step answer. And there is a video posted by Beut. But you have to be VERY VERY careful to follow it exactly. Miss one step and it won't work.

You must not have read them carefully. The ONLY way to remove the FRP lock is to use Odin to revert to 6 with the ROM ending in PL4. You won't find a way while still running 7.
edit: BTW, once you remove the FRP lock, the tablet will update itself, OTA, back to the latest 7 from Samsung. So, don't worry about using 6 to get rid of the lock.

What difference does it make what firmware the tablet is running now? In order to remove the FRP the tablet has to be set back to the PL4 firmware and that can be done no matter what it currently has.
edit: The ability to add a fake wifi entry, highlighting it and choosing "advanced" is the key. That feature is ONLY available in a few Android 6 ROMS. The one ending in PL4 being one of them.

Then why not just post what version to flash and how to use it to remove FRP? Rather than, "what version are you running?", flash version "xyzzz" and do "such and such". Personally, I'd like that info if, and only if, it is easier than the 6 method. And doesn't cost any money. If you are selling something, then forget it.
edit; I take that back. If the OP can't figure out how to use the 6 method, and you can sell them something using 7, then more power to you.

Here's a definitive answer: We don't have root for bootloader rev. 3, so just sit tight for the next few weeks or months.
Also, the only way for us to get root is through engineering files, because the bootloader is rock solid. So we've been getting root without an unlocked bootloader. Pretty impressive, right?
