Thank youu very mich, @argon3030. You’re superb
Thanks for the update to e-0.16-p-20210318-UNOFFICIAL-gts210vewifi, @argon3030.
Installed right now. I’m writing from a SM-T813 tablet
Shall I report here what I’m finding not working ?
Just installed it, stuck on /e/ logo then keep rebooting to recovery, don’t know why… any suggestions please? I did not format just tried to flash it on top of the official build.
New June 2021 build available for download. /e/ 0.18.
Note: After upgrading to this build, the web browser wasn’t working for me. I had to go into the browser settings and select a Secure DNS server from the drop-down list, and then everything worked.
@nottolino I’m simply building the sources as they are. If you believe you’ve found some bugs, I’d recommend reporting them to the dev team via Gitlab.
@zjabri I don’t believe flashing an unofficial build over top of an official build will work. Try formatting first, and then installing.
August 2021 build is now available for download.
Hi @argon3030 and thanks again for your work.
I was expecting an OTA update, but this seems not the case. Am I assuming too much or missing something obvious here ?
That’s a good question @nottolino I’m not sure what’s required to implement OTA. I haven’t looked into that feature yet.
The update process is fairly straightforward: Browse to the download link and download the latest build. Then reboot into Recovery mode, select “Install” and browse to your Downloads folder and select the file you downloaded.
And this is a good answer, @argon3030 !!
I’ll try as soon as I’ll find some spare time.
Edit: not a big deal, really, once you are aware of this way of updating. GREAT !!
@argon3030 Thanks so much for your work on this!
I picked up an ex-display model of this tablet this week, and I’m really pleased with how this build runs on it, and with the ease of installation. (I’ve put Lineage and MicroG on a couple of phones recently, and this was significantly easier than that.)
In case it helps anyone, the trickiest step for me was restarting after the TWRP install in a way that didn’t cause TWRP to be overwritten with the standard recovery. I found that I needed to hold VolDown and Power until the screen goes black, then release them instantly… so far this is all as the instructions say - but then I had to immediately hold Home, VolUp and Power to reboot into recovery.
Maybe I want to try eOS on this tablet but is it official or not? here I see unoffcial whereas @piero writes ‘official build’ here.
.
The explanation is that @piero’s link is up to date
The link you quote leads to /e/ image ROM download and Info about Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Wi-Fi (2016) - gts210vewifi.
Yes, apologies for the slow reply, as this device is now receiving a steady stream of official builds, it is no longer necessary for me to create any more of my own builds. I am now happily running the official build and receiving OTA updates and recommend everyone do the same. This tablet works wonderfully with /e/ in 2022!
Hello , Just received several Tab S2 T813 and be happy to help
I see we are stuck on 0.23 , any blocking reason ? I will try to rebuild in August
For now , I’m running with success a LOS 18 build up to date from here
But no spoofing support
great-please let me know if you succeed…
Well mostly bad news about this T-813
either R or Q builds ( 1.17 / 1.12 as I recall ) are really stable but for some reason crash ( reboot the tablet ) when using some apps like iZettle which makes them unusable for the cashier I planned them for.
Maybe P builds don’t have this problem.
Android P is not supported anymore by /e/OS, but might be ok for your use case. Q reached end of life so R is the most current (at least in terms of stability) version for the SM-T813. There exists even an T version but its in ALPHA status

You can try my latest Q build if this does any better?

Thanks I will try this !
I can reproduce the reboot problem almost every time when I launch the Airtable app , sounds like some kind of crash in MicroG ?
