There are known problems with this image, including this list
- Camera exposure - don't care, won't be using the camera
- Calendar UI, don't care

Unlock boot loader by tapping on Build Number 7x.
Install Odin on Windows 10, 3.10.7 for Lollipop
Power off, then hold the Home, Volume UP, and Power buttons to get into loader.... https://galaxyfirmware.com/guide/SM-T530NU/ Note the +/- on the volume buttons, I had them backwards... sigh... When you get it right you will see a message in the upper left of the screen as it boots. You can let go of the buttons then.
Install Magisk 25.2 or SuperSU
TWRP for matisse - https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=334794 -- had to get an older one 3.6.0_9
GAPPS - This is a Cortex-A7 which is 32-bit; that means I can't use any ARM64 version. I am trying the Officlal Nano version
