1. Basic Identification
- TWRP – Custom recovery replacing stock recovery
- 3021 – Likely version 3.2.1-0 (or a derivative, build date circa 2018–2019)
- SMT560 – Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2017) Wi-Fi? Actually SM-T560 is Galaxy Tab E 9.6" (2015–2016, Spreadtrum SC7730SE or Marvell PXA1908). SM-T560 is Wi-Fi only, SM-T561 is 3G. So SMT560 = SM-T560.
- TAR – Flashable via Odin (Samsung download mode)
- Verified – Likely means dm-verity + AVB (Android Verified Boot) patched or bypassed with verification still intact for system/vendor.
Step 4: Flash the Recovery
- Double-check that the file name appears in the AP slot.
- Click the Start button.
- The flashing process takes about 5-10 seconds. You will see a green "PASS!" message in Odin when successful.
