Got a brand spanking new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
It's going to be used by multiple people, including kids, so multiple user profiles would be a perfect feature for me.
So...here are my options:
1. Root the tab and install 'SwitchMe' from the app store.
2. Install a 4.2 JB Rom
3. Wait it out for an official 4.2 JB update?
So here's the dilemma:
1. People say SwitchMe can ruin your device by creating boot loops and such? True?
2. What features will I lose in a custom rom? People saying a lot of things don't work and they are unstable. Plus connectivity with my Samsung TV is a must.
3. Will an official 4.2 ever happen? Considering we only just got 4.1, I have my doubts.
Thoughts?
Thank you.
You should ask this in the correct forum - this is for the Galaxy Tab, not the Galaxy Tab 2.

Dear developers!
Let me ask you when will the normal operating recovery*? Really for our device is harder to do than to Tab pro or Tab S ? For them, a long time ago is made and people enjoy , doing firmware, mods , etc.. Why do we so hard? Device on sale for six months, and as a result only 7.0 Table 4 recently received from the TWRP developers full recovery*. When can we expect for us?
With deep respect .
Wondering this too, I just picked up this device but I'm thinking of just returning it to get a nexus 7, as I'm not sure if this device will see L or not :/
I'm wondering this as well. I have the SM-T530NU and this thing is super nice. the hardware specs are great and with an uncrippled android os and kernel that supports overclocking it would be unstoppable. How does one go about building a proper TWRP for this thing?
If you look at that TWRP website, notice that there is a listing for TWRP 2.8 - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Qcomm, thats very close to what we have. What is your guys model numbers? We need someone to look at the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Qcomm TWRP and see if we could modify it easily to work on the Tab 4 10.1

Yep, I'm actually thinking of returning this device though, as I was hoping I would be able to put custom roms on it (I don't want to be stuck with Samsung's stuff.), but if TWRP is possible for our device, then that means custom roms will eventually be a thing for this I hope.

all we need is someone who has one and knows how to make android. I'ts not too bad rooted and the samsung crap taken off of it, but i agree with the custom roms statement. we need some custom roms. Cyanogen, AOSP, Beanstalk and id be happy
apparently there is a SEMI-working recovery available. Also the source for said recovery is available also. so we have a decent starting point
original thread containing recovery and source:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab...rp-2-7-1-0-galaxy-tab-4-10-1-sm-t530-t2830798
Yeah, I'm getting ready to sell it for a Tab S..
Hi all,
I have not been here in yonks but I know this forum is always helpful. I am trying to flash a slim updated rom on my old android galaxy note. Out of no where, so many of my apps on that phone stopped working and it kept saying, this device is not compatible etc. I tried all the tricks and still a lot of apps will not work.
I have Odin pro installed on the phone but I forgot how to use it lol so may require direct instructions. But can someone recommend a fast but small in size build to flash which is updated. It says on my galaxy note that it’s running 4.1.2 which is jelly bean. If I recall it’s probably a custom rom but it’s been so long.
Thanks I advance if anyone can help me with instructions, I know it’s easy to do, but it’s been ages.
Cheers [emoji106][emoji106]

it is galaxy note 8.0 gt n5105. Also it has wifi and lte
Think 5100 is similar.
Install android 7.1.2
I update n5105 from android 4.2.2 to android 7.1.2. Everything seems good. but there is no Samsung application. I install from Google play. But any of them does not work. Especially I want to use snote and spen. But does not work. How can I add samsung applications? İs there anything like Gapps may be called Sapps?
As far as I know, those Samsung applications will work only with Samsung ROMs. They need some proprietary functions not present in third party builds. There is software to use the pen, though. Coto Note comes to mind. Haven't used it for anything but brief testing, though.
Samsung apps mostly works only on Samsung Rom. There are some modded als also for Stock (vanilla) Android.
So if you use that 7.1.2 Rom you must find other apps than Samsung ones. They won't work.

Would you mind sharing the secret to getting that installed? I'm trying to do the same thing, but I can't get past the signature verification error. I'm not sure what to do.
Just got given Samsung GT-N5110, Yikes KitKat lol... Lets not!
Good old Odin, TWRP and now trying this build!
Glad I found this post with useful links, near end of 2021 too!!
Thanks!
This is crazy was asked can I do anything with it was going in Bin! I said wait No! that tablet is old, guy said you can't load much on it because it was old...
Actually really good old tablet, I went from memory and this forum...
I am not at Noob so skipped through a lot and did what I membered!
Same keys as S3, put in Download mode, use Odin to blast bootloader, reboot and quickly press right key combo before official software kicks it out.
Reboot again and see friendly TWRP as your bootloader.
I just saved a not bad old tablet from bin! I gonna keep, so glad for this forum!!!!
My main and only phone is a Samsung Galaxy A10 because it is my only 4G device decided not to mess with it BUT was phone to try with device I was given as tablet... Never push your luck!
I have made a brick before in my time!!!
Happy ending here!!!
Nice to be back!
Yes that old Samsung Note 8 has got new lease of life!
What memories from S3 that good old reflash Boot loader and hit key combo before original bootloader is retained!
Got TWRP going, got my Gapps and root, job done, nice!
WARNING:- Anyone with old Note 8 please don't just jump in! Yes it is possible, don't ask me if your a Noob, don't ask me what is a bootloader, what is Odin, what is TWRP, what is Root?... You can turn your tablet into chopping board! I am playing with Lineage on mine, you playing with Cucumber on yours?
Thankyou awesome links!
Nice Job, last step TWRP root file and enable in Dev Options!
Fully Rooted and enjoying the fact someone is still updating build for patch level.
Old tablet but not that bad once you get rid of KitKat lol!
This guy was going to chuck it out and said to me it will be limited because of old software... He told me dispose of it.... Just showed him now and he asked why did Samsung do this update for you not us, answer is they didn't!
This is why I love Android over Apple!
Are there any custom roms i can use with this tablet, Thank you.
If you look around about you'll find out these are Treble devices so you can use GSI's on these.
But would one be able to find for instance, a ressurrection remix treble image??? Then I'd want to know how to root the tablets, if I decided to buy one, of course, there's the question of, "would I brick it" since I'm used to doing phones, and everything is so hard to go custom on these days, since being made rootless only at around android 10, at least for stock android

You might want to search the Samsung Galaxy Tab forums for this answer. The development community around the galaxy tabs is quite active depending on the model. You can locate the model number of your tablet under the settings menu or on the back of the tablet by the bottom. It should be something like model number SM-T*** Mine is an SM-T380. Search the model number and you might find a better answer
I have just bought the galaxy tab A8 SM-X200 and couldn't wait for it to arrive so I could play about with it and customise it, as much as I love my S21 ultra, I couldn't help being curious as to root a reasonably priced tablet before.
I managed to flash custom roms and root Sony phones before but never samsung.
Anyway I've tried a few of these one click roots but they all say the same thing; that my tablet isn't vulnerable enough but also I can't see to find a custom recovery for it either.
Could some one please help me out there. Thanks
have you found any solution ??

Notes: What's posted below is a work in progress, but it should suffice to unblock efforts to build custom ROMs for this impressive tablet. This is unofficial and unsupported, so the usual caveats apply. Since we don't flash the bootloader, you...
