Have you rooted it and installed SafeStrap yet? But yes, once you get all of that good stuff done, you can flash this ROM and be good to go since your phone already has the NI2 firmware. If you haven't rooted it yet, you'll have to flash the NCG firmware only, root it, then flash the NI2 firmware back to it.

So, I've instlled NCG and rooted with Towelroot. Do I need to install safestrap?
Also, the odex download is in .zip format, but odin expects a .tar. should I repackage the zip into a tar or what should I do? I am confused.

Yes you will need to install SafeStrap. The custom ROM's are flashed with SafeStrap. It flashes them with the .zip extension, so no you won't repackage anything. Odin flashes files with a .tar extension. You will need to make sure you flash the NI2 firmware back with Odin also.

thank you

Options
Is there any way that I can overwrite the main partition and install this on there or do I HAVE to use safestrap and make a new partition? I really want to keep my system as clean as possible.

Are these files still available?
When I click to get them the page just hangs...

Ok, I might get flamed here for this silly question but...
If you have a Verizon phone (like a broken contract one)...not stolen or anything (so it wouldn't be blacklisted)...
Is it possible to flash it with a stock rom (or modded one) for another carrier, like MetroPCS? The reason I am asking is if someone had a Verizon contract, broke it, and has MetroPCS, is it possible to refresh it solely to get rid of the Verizon extra junk? Right now, the phone is rooted and most of the Verizon stuff is off it and it works fine with data, mms, and phone. The only problem is the bloatware and that the APN's periodically have to be re-entered...kind of a pain.
So IF you flash it with a stock MetroPCS rom, will it even work or are there some hardware restrictions?

Root SMT330NU with Lollipop 5.1.1
Is this possible yet? I tried CF-Root using both Odin 3.7 and 3.10 and it just bricked the device after it said "Pass" then rebooted. Each time it got stuck on the Samsung boot screen, but never booted up to anything else. I have all newest drivers, and only want Root access, as close to stock as possible. Is there a safe method yet, or is Towelroot able to do it?? Need help PLEASE!

Galaxy Tab 4 Root
First time poster, So I've tired a lot of different things to root my SGT 4 7.0 but when I check on root checker, the app says my tablet is not rooted. -- Odin says it passed. My recovery installed properly,I've loaded SUPERSU, but I cannot seem to get past that part. SuperSU says I need to update my binary, but when I try doing that, the app hangs and says installation failed and i need to reboot. Please help!

Were you using superSU version 2.46, or an earlier version? If you were using an earlier version, try it again with supersu v2.46. If this failure happened with 2.46, try supersu v2.49 instead

Thanks, I'll try 2.49. If it doesn't work, I've also read that I have to downgrade the firmware. Would you recommend that option instead?

Bro,
Had some doubts before i flash:
1) You mentioned do clean wipe and flash that ROM. Do i need to install stock recovery and stock kernel before that? I have custom recovery (CWM) installed right now.
2) After installing your this ROM will my phone be official, unrooted? Will i be able to get the official OTA updates in the future?
Please let me know.

Done and running official 5.0.2 now. Hope will be getting future official updates from now on. Thanks a ton bro. :good::good::good:

I flashed the the 122 mb update and got the error, but it was fine when I flashed the OTA LP again and flashed the incremental right after it.
But unfortunately (or fortunately ) my Mac address was lost had to flash a custom kernel to make it work. Was it the same for you?
And I don't see much difference with the phone, the battery lasts around 8-9 hours on games (heating is still on).
I do like to know if there's any difference for you guys

TWRP for SM-T330nu Galaxy Tab 4 8.0??

Does this exist? I have found a TWRP for a regular T330, but not the T330NU. Basically I am looking for a way to get my 5.1.1 rooted. I know there is a method listed on this forum that involves installing a new kernal that is rootable, but once again, I need a custom recovery to even flash that file. Or do I? Any help would be highly appreciated. I apologize if this has been addressed, but after many Google searches, and even searches on XDA, i was not able to find any definite instructions on how to do this. I would happily downgrade to 4.4.2 Kitkat if thats even possible, but I hit a dead end there also trying to use ODIN to flash the stock 4.4.2 firmware. I made the stupid mistake of upgrading to 5.1.1, and now am suffering do to all the bloatware installed with it. Please direct me to the proper files i need to use to get my device rooted! I'm not worried about knox because it has already been triggered. I just dont understand how or where to get TWRP for my tablet because all the files I found specifically left the T330NU out of its list of compatible devices. I have tried Kingo-Root, KingRoot, and no success. Help, I need ROOT!

A TWRP build for the SM-T330 will also work on the SM-T330NU, so you can use this thread for TWRP. There is also Philz touch, a touch version of CWM which can be found in this thread. All that said however, there is only one way to root the SM-T330NU on 5.1.1, and that is the kernel method you mentioned, for which the thread can be found here

Ok... heres my next question? Do i just simply use ODIN to install the custom recovery, then use the custom recovery to flash that new kernel??? Because I still have the stock recovery on right now, and just need the basic instructions h on how to achieve this. Thanks

Yes I believe so, although the kernel thread should have instructions

Success with Custom recovery and Kernel Flash
Ok i performed the Kernel flash using Philz recovery... and flashed the SuperSU file posted on that thread. Now I ran a program called "Root Checker" from the app store and it says Root not installed... BUT when I run the SuperSU app it says "Super User Enabled" ... So am i rooted or not?? Is there another program i need to use to check root status? or am i done?...
***DUH, my fault... did not realize i needed to grant super user access to the program.... Did that and SUCCESS!!***
Thanks dude... you're very helpful and patient... Wish i had a customer comment card I could fill out about you!

rootedI
I have the exact same tab and have not found much support for it however I believe I rooted it using old school towel root. And there are some cool things u can do with it but I've been back in kit Kat land all this time.

Please correct me if i am wrong

Hello guys,
Please excuse my noobish question, but i need to find some good answer.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, model number SM-N9005 with Android version 4.4.2.
The phablet is rooted thanks to Towelroot. And from there i install Titanium Backup and many others intersting stuff that need/or not root.
I enjoyed Xposed and i'm thinking i want to enjoy CyanogenMod also.
Now ... my problems is that i am very confused about what i have to do next.
And after i spent some time to research this, i've come here for some guidance because i fell that i'm running in circle.
My questions are :
Do i have to upgrade to Lollipop first ?
Do i have to unroot from Towelroot and root again with Odin ?
As i saw that steps are as follow:
1. Need root
2. Install TWRP
3. CyanogenMod (as i saw 12 is the last and it's good for my device)
Many thanks !

1. Unique way to update to Lollipop (if you are rooted) is via ODIN. I don't recommend you update anyway. I still with android 4.4.2.
2. No. Only flash the new firmware via ODIN and root it then with ODIN too.
3. I don't recommend you install CyanogenMod if you are noob.

If you do want CyanogenMod, you only need to install TWRP, and then flash latest CM-12.1 nightly build in recovery. You do need to wipe /data first, though which means you will lose your apps and settings.
Always make backups!

So why do you dont recommend to me to upgrade to Lollipop ?
Is Kit Kat better at this time than Lollipop ?
If i will update via ODIN, is there a better way to do that ?
And ... Still have my question about what if i'll unroot (and how can i do that safe) and root it by examples via ODIN and then follow others tutorials with TWRP and CyanogenMod. I'm not confortable via ODIN (but if i find some good, trusted tutorials, i want to try it) because as i told you before i rooted my phablet, the easy way via Towelroot.
2. No. Only flash the new firmware via ODIN and root it then with ODIN too.

If you want a CM rom just flash recovery with odin. No need to root. Then backup your phone and flash the CM rom. No need to upgrade to lollipop either.
However if you want a lollipop TW based rom it's better to upgrade to lollipop first. Nevertheless you can still try lollipop TW custom rom without upgrading to lollipop first but some functions may not work well.
If you can root your phone with Towelroot and you don't want to use odin to flash the recovery, you may do so by dd with terminal emulator.
