Galaxy Tab A 10.1 T580 WiFi - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Dear community,
I use a Galaxy Tab Galaxy Tab A 10.1 T580 with Stock Firmware on Marshmallow 6.01 installed.
I rooted it with CF-autoroot (old guide) from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/root-t3674409, TWRP and SuperSU installed.
Knox is tripped already.
Now my question:
How can I safely update to Android 7 Nougat without bootlooping or bricking the device, because Samsungs system updater app says that (because of rooting) my device's software has changed and therefore cannot be updated automatically over-the-air (OTA) anymore.
THANK YOU!

Download the latest stock ROM for your region from here. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-a-101-2016/SM-T580/
You'll need to flash with Odin after a full wipe. Then you'll need to download the latest TWRP for your tablet and flash it with Odin because flashing the stock ROM restores the stock recovery.

Upgrading stock JB Rom to Custom Kit Kat?

Hi Sifus,
I owned a SM-N9005 Note 3, with Stock MJ1 Rom, rooted with CF-Auto and installed with TWRP (hlte) 4.3.
So I understood that once upgrading to KK, there's currently no way to downgrade back to JB thus taking this pre-caution to ask for advices. (correct me if I'm wrong)
I am intended to upgrade my Note 3 to a custom KK ROM (eg: XRom, Omega Rom, etc...) however, I am not too sure what's the next step I need to take?
(A) Since I'm rooted with TWRP, go ahead and download the ROM from developer and follow instructions to flash?:victory:
(B) Since I'm still with JB, I need to flash to Stock KK before flashing any custom KK ROM?
(C) Other better ways?
Regards,

Some advises please? Anyone?

[Q] Updating rooted Phone (custom kernel&rec)

Hey guys! I want to update my Galaxy S4 I9505, because an update was released in August and I last updated in February. The problems are:
root
xposed Framework
custom recovery
custom kernel
Knox apps and stuff removed
What's gonna happen if I update? Which things do I have to redo/reinstall?
And would it better to update via Kies or flash the firmware with odin? (I can get the fw from sammobile, no problem)
EDIT: I'm on standard Touchwiz btw.
if you update over Odin PC or Kies
you will loose root
your files and most apps will not be touch
Use Odin to flash it because Kies will fail. Just try and see how it goes. If you got problems then do a factory reset.
Thank you!
I did a backup followed by a few experiments:
Download mode --> Flash FW with Odin
CF Auto-Root
Custom Recovery
Custom Kernel
Activate xposed (with flashing a zip)
Clear Cache and Dalvik
All that without a single boot to the FW before the last step. Worked!!! :good:

[Q] Rooted MDL TWRP with Gearmanager?

I rooted and disabled the OTA updates when I first got my phone, and I've been satisfied with my MDL 4.2.2 setup. However I know I will be receiving a Galaxy Gear S watch for Xmas and I understand you need the KitKat update to make it work with the Galaxy Gearmanager.
So I reenabled the OTA updates, it downloaded a 978mb file, but it failed to flash with the TWRP recovery. Should I spend any more time trying to update my phone, or is there a 4.2.2 workaround for the Gearmanager?
You can stay on your MDL boot loader, with TWRP. Flash a ROM Like SjoStock-i 8.0 (or 8.1). It has the included files to allow your gear to work and you will have KitKat based ROM as well with all the bells and whistles

GALAXY Note 3 SM-N900.. Help..

I am a new member and I don't know where to post this on the forum and I am unable to send this via the contact link at XDA... I apologize. Kindly guide...
Hi..
Subject: Installing the custom recovery and latest cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900.
A few details :
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 running on stock rom Android version 4.4.2 and the build Number is N900XXUDND1. It is an Indian version.
I rooted my phone via Odin cfautoroot successfully but was not unable to load custom recovery cwm since the phone would go blank and stuck in boot loop.
I had to reinstall the stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin but could not install custom recovery via Odin and again stuck in boot loop . I reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 and tried installing custom recovery via flashify me app but again the phone went blank although I could go to download mode but stuck in boot loop.
I again reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 via odin but later I could not even root my phone via Odin!!..so I rooted my phone via king root app successfully and then changed it to supersu me root successfully without a problem.
Now the problem is I want to load custom recovery in order to load Cyanogenmod.
I tried installing cwm recovery via the clockworkmod app but it does not recognize my device officially.
I tried installing custom recovery via twrp app but getting error there also.
Now this is the info I see when I am in download mode:
ODIN MODE.
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official.
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom.
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A4
Is the bootloader locked in my device? Is this the reason I am unable to load custom recovery? I don't even know how to check the present status lock/unlock status of bootloader
I want to load custom recovery(cwm or twrp) and load the latest cyanogenmod at the earliest and I would appreciate if I can get step by step details of doing so.
Is it possible to do this without using a computer?...
Thanking you...
You do not need to root the phone before installing a custom ROM. You can install a custom recovery using Odin.
Some good info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-root-note-3-sm-n900-5-0-install-t3069670

.... Hi.. Thank for replying so soon...
I checked the link you provided but it is all about rooting only.. As mentioned earlier, I rooted my phone and confirmed the same via root checker app. Now I just want to install cwm/twrp recovery and then go ahead and install cyanogenmod...

A310F flash fail, Odin, brick, no 4parted firmware nougat avaailable, how to go on?

Had A310F with custom ROM, then went back to stock marshmallow.
Now wanted to go for latest Nougat with the marshmallow rooted and twrp on.
Samfirm only gives my one oart firmware which does not fir in ap slot on odin 3.12.
using 4 part nougat carrier specific not free one it fials on flashing.
What is the way now to get a stock android 7.0 device here with which firmware please?
does flash fail due to downgrade?
think i deleted something in marshmallow rom to make bootloader security somewhat fit to downgrade
Try to download the firmware from sammobile.com i think you can't downgrade just download another stock firmwaee for the a310f (your device) and try to reflash via odin
