I have been searching around and have not found an explination to this, so I thought I would just ask. Looking around, I see the 3.1 OTA most people got was Gen2. In the developers section, you can download one that is Gen1. Prior to the OTA some people had a 3.01 Gen3 ROM. What is the difference in the Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 ROMs? The thread in the developers section with the 3.1 Gen1 ROM says it is a newer build then the GEN2 3.1 OTA that we got. Is this true? Thanks to any and all of you that help clear this up for me.
Good question. I am looking for that explanation as well.
Thanks.
If I had to guess, I would think it's probably slight design revisions, but that does not necessarily mean newer is better. Some changes can be done to cut costs or facilitate components from different suppliers. Of course sometimes things do get improved, but who knows with these versions....

I've also been trying to find the answer to this.
I've seen GEN5, GEN6, CUS7, NORDIC etc as well. Would be great to know what they all mean.
I'll throw my best guess in the ring and say- Maybe it has to do with production batches (GEN1= earliest prod, etc.) or global regions (GEN2 = N.America..)?.../shrug
I'd guess it's just software revisions. Some batches got GEN1 flashed, some GEN2, etc...
I don't believe there's been any hardware differences found between models (excluding A500 vs. A501).
My question is can we flash ROMs of one GEN to the other? e.g. my iconia is showing GEN5, but I have not seen any custom ROMs with this number, can I flash a GEN1 ROM without breaking something?

I can't see why not.
The GENs are set for regions, so Acer can keep track of OTA.

Absolutely!
Doesn't them limit WIFI channel range or GSM band range based on region?

Most custom ROM's allow 14 channels already because it's handled by the build.prop file. This can also be added to a stock rooted ROM by adding this line:
ro.wifi.country=EU
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:

Hey I'm in the same boat with the clone of your device called the Asus Trio TX201LA. The memo pad shares the same 4.2 rom, same IFIW, Same soc, same droidboot version etc etc. Basicly its just got an all alluminum case but same exact tablet. Mine can run ME302c ROM but camera and doc support is lost. I am working on a rom using BLISS. If you are still looking to update PM me. Perhaps we can work on this together.

Team Bliss is a lil less helpful then I thought they would be, I have had little to no guidance being a noob. So unfortunately I have not gotten it off the ground, nor would I be able to with a locked bootloader anyway. I still use the windows half of the tx201la nearly daily as my main machine and love it. I wish the android could be updated and the me302c shares a lot in common. I have asked asus to look into offering unlock because that would allow me to test a lot of builds already available like the one made for the galaxy tab 3 10.1 which shares the same soc and may possibly boot up on my tablet and even the me302c. If we pester asus to release an unlock tool like they have for just about every single zenfone 2, 3, 4 and 5 (all the older zenfones have the same intel soc family) we are half way there to getting a rom since there has been so much development for this soc already in the zenfone and galaxy tab 3 10.1. Asus is somewhat required to give us something since the atom z2560 is susceptible to the spectra variant 3 (newest called next gen) and if they offer any sort of update it would be an upgrade for us. It maybe advisable to start a petition to get this done. Would you want to try that route, we need unlock first and foremost and its most likely we can convince asus to do that with enough signatures or a small claims lawsuit even. thoughts?
Hi guys, We all have the same issue, a beutiful "still" working tablet with no support.
I read several people asked for a petition or to pay a dev to work on a rom.
If you all are thinking it is worth we could **** how many people around the world
Have still this tablet, or should I open another topic?
Hi everybody,
I've been looking up and down in this sub-forum but can't seem to find an up-to-date ROM (Nougat or up) that seems to be suited as a daily driver for the Tab 4 SM-T533 "Value Edition" (WiFi only, no LTE). I understand it has a different SoC than the regular Tab 4, hence the ROMs available for that one won't work.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alternative?
Currently, I am still on Stock Android 5, rooted (with SuperSU) and TWRP in place. So, I'm good to go, just need a decent ROM.
Thanks for any hints and tips!
Cheers
I have the Tab 4 10.1 wifi only edition t530 and there are craploads of roms. Old but still available. Most don't have working camera. I'm currently running a Dual Boot setup where Stock is my primary rom and LineageOS 14.1 is my secondary rom i can boot into whenever I'd like. Pie has also just been released for this device.

Thanks for getting back. Also for reminding me that I forgot to mention the model name. I edited the OP to point out that it's a SM-T533.
Now, the trouble is that the SM-T533 and the SM-T530 supposedly have different hardware so the ROMs for the 530 wouldn't run on the 533.
I'd be happy with Nougat already. Wouldn't even need to be Oreo or Pie.
Too bad, but it seems there aren't enough devices out there so that it would make sense for any developer to spend the time porting a ROM to the SM-T533.
Cheers
Are there any otheres out there using this variant, at all?

Hiya
i acquired ex demo model of the tab4 T530 and T533.
i managed to fix the T530 model flashing with Odin but no joy on the T533.
what i noticed is the the firmware for the T530 had BL CS and AP files ,but the T533 are only i big file, @Poorusernamechoice developer was supposed to break the firmware into AP BL and CS but alas i have not heard anything back , please assist anyone who has the know how
@musafir 7 Thanks for your reply. I don't believe that after two more years chances have become bigger that anyone puts a minute of work into this. :-( By the way: We still have the tab and it's still running, though it's being used only scarcely now.

Can anyone please help me I'm unable to install Lineage 17.1 on my SM-N9006, previous version 16Los I can install it fully working now 17.1.
I tried every model on lineageos.download page none of them is working I always get: Error 7. does this mean my device is end support?
I'm getting the same error on N9005 device. what is the memory size of your device? I'm afraid the error got to do with the 16GB devices.

I think yes this might be the problem trigger for 16GB devices, exactly what happen to me.
https://i.ibb.co/bmDvV3N/Screenshot-20201023-144916-Settings.png image16.jpg
My device is 16 GB I'm able to install 16.0 Lineage hlte but now for 17.1 it's impossible, if somebody kind enough please help us thank you.
16gb different PIT to 32GB
You are right they have different PIT's, but it only matter in officials roms. custom rom such as Lineage does not have PIT files to begin with so they shouldn't care about partition size as long as they can fit in there.
Hello, yep, I know this is an almost year old thread, but for anyone reading with a similar problem, here is my update experience. I have similar model, originally the China variant -9006- I believe, sort of a 9005 sans Play Store. Has the Snapdragon 800 CPU. 32 bit. 3 RAM.
Rooted using Odin, then installed Lineageos 17.1 via TWPS + nano Gapps.
First time for me so I was more than relived when it worked - perfectly, first time.
I mention all this as mine is also a 16GB model - in fact I thought they all were , but what would I know - so maybe that rules out the hypothesis being circulated here?
I do however, have a 64 SD card installed - if that make any odds?
Just my experience, as I said , to show it is not impossible.
