Hey everyone, I just got a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 inch yesterday from T-Mobile, but i'm having trouble finding a custom recovery and custom rom for it.
Can you guys help me out?
I managed to get it rooted using Chainfire Autoroot, but while I keep trying to install TWRP, it just loads into Download Mode and says "could not normal boot".
Any help would be appreciated.
If anyone can, please link me to a TWRP Odin Flashable that will work and a good custom ROM, thanks!
I've looked around some when I got my tablet a few months ago. Sorry to say, I have yet to find a custom ROM for this particular tablet.

Good to know. I'm on the SM-T337T. Hopefully it gets some support soon. If not, no big deal.

I managed to format my Galaxy Tab 10.1 in CWM and now it won't allow me to mount USB storage to transfer a ROM back to the device...
So I'm stuck in limbo, I can't boot. Can you upload and install a ROM through ODIN?
Any guides on how to get around this?
THANKS!

You can use ODIN and flash back to a stock Samsung ROM and then flash a custom ROM.

had to do this myself for some reason. Just make sure the rom works with Odin and is for you country and version of the tab. can't remember why I started to have to do this but I made it worse before better using the wrong ROMs. So be specific about where you are and version of tab so people can help right the first time.

Install the Restock versions with odin and you should be OK. Happened to me as well a couple of times
EDIT: He has a guide here: http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5
Look for the <<Re-“Stocking” Yer System…>> section
My bad.
It's Canadian - Wifi version 16GB. Purchased 3 weeks ago.
No problem. Just from tapatalk I can't see some info in sits and stuff. looks like you got some more knowledgeable help from another poster. I'm in the states so I'm not the helper you want. Not to mention I'm wireless only.
Best of luck. Let us know if you get it.

Until dev get their hands on the LTE version you have to live with it. I'm sure the Korean Note 2 works on all bands except USA if that's what you're asking.

I thought Korea version SHV-E250s have supports different bandwidths, will it support the 3G and 4G EE in UK though~~~
you can root the E250S by flashing recovery.img found in these forums in odin
DO NOT flash boot.img that is sometimes also in the odin tar file or you will not be able to boot into android or recovery.
(although to fix simply flash the stock boot.img back)
source: I rooted mine
(32GB version, LTE)
Thread open until verified...Thank You.
Any pic to proof? I assume this will work for N7105 too... Care to explain step by step tutorial?

This will work for E250K? I suspect that it should right?
Any progress on rooting the Korean Note 2? How many people on this forum have a Korean Note 2? Mine is the E250L (LG telecom)
I have the SHV-E250L (LG U+) and I going to try to stay unrooted.
This info only applies if you are in Korea but with my last Korean Galaxy phone, I took it to the A/S center to get a broken earphone replaced, and they tapped into my phone for 20 minutes trying to prove that it was rooted so they can deny me a free replacement. I know that is just bad luck with the service staff that day. But once they verified that it wasn't rooted, they gave me new earphones. To avoid that kind of hassle because the service at least for the first year is great (free shattered screen replacements while you wait and such), I think try to keep it unrooted for as long as possible. Let's see how long I can hold out...
Most of the reasons I rooted and put roms in the past was to gain access like wifi tethering, better battery life, and better functionality, but none of those are issues with this device. Wifi tethering is enabled without restrictions out of the box and without extra charge.

As mentioned earlier, I flashing the recovery. IMG should work as that's not related to baseband.

Some questions about this device
Hi All,
Since this seems to be the only GN2 version available with 32gb internal storage, I am feeling a strong temptation to buy it. However, I do have some concerns I am hoping you owners can address:
1) Is the DMB antenna obvious? I looked at the Samsung Korea site, and most of the photos don't show it. Does it retract or detach in some way? I know I won't be able to use it in the US so am hoping it will be easy to forget about.
2) Does it have a FM radio receiver like the international version?
3) Is the user experience the same as the international version if English is selected as the default language?
Ideally I would like to eventually be able to flash an international rom into the device, but I know that's not possible now. Are any of the current owners expert enough to offer an educated guess as to whether it will be possible in the future?
Thanks for your help and advice.

Ebay. This morning I saw a listing for a unlocked 32GB Titanium Gray, Korean version. Unfortunately, the listing already ended when I checked again a few hours later. :crying:

You can root with this method:

I think it was designed for the N7100 but I can verify it works on the SHV-E250K (KT).

thank`s to all for help.
Isn't the Korean version wider and uglier?

Is the galaxy tab 4 7.0 root able yet? The Model is SM-T230NU thank you
I've been Googling for a couple hours and I haven't found anything.
Your best bet is trying to see if Chainfire can look into it. He is the go to guy for rooting many newer Samsung devices. Post here for requests:

thanks
oh okay thank you i will do that
cant post
it wont let me post can you do it for me?
I'm installing Android dev tools right now so I can extract recovery.img to post in CF's thread. Busy weekend ahead - might take me a couple days to get it posted.
ok
ok thats fine there is no rush i can wait. will you tell me when its posted or is there any way i will know?
What's the processor on these? All I can find is that it's a quad core 1.2GHz. No idea if it's a Snapdragon 400, or if it's an Exynos. Exynos-based devices, it is my understanding, are more difficult to root, if not sometimes impossible.
I'm semi-interested in this device, as a sort of "toss around" tablet. Something inexpensive that I can throw in my backpack, while keeping my nicer, more expensive LG 8.3 at home. The small footprint and light weight is what intrigues me the most.
The processor is a snapdragon and it's very lightweight
Since I have the 10.1 model, will the eventual rooting process for the 7.0 model be the same for my model?
I have no idea I just want my Tablet rooted please

The idea will be the same, but you'll need a different kernel with the root enabled. If you want it, you have to request it from the thread linked earlier.
I try posting to it but it won't let me post so I can request it?
I want root as well this tablet has decent specs just horrid internal space so I'm trying to swap it with the SD card for apps
I got a 32 gb external SD for it on amazon

Just for the eye candy. My intention was to get the Tab 3 Kids Edition but when I got to Best Buy they were out. The person who helped me mentioned that you could download from the playstore other launchers, I checked those as well and to be fair with Samsung they did a great job with the Kids edition, non of them were even close to the UI of the Tab 3. So now I'm stuck with a Tab 4 that has a Kids Mode that sucks.
No. You flash you brick
I am pretty new to rooting a phone but i was just looking around for a way to root my verizon note 4 SM-N910V on Android 5.0.1.
I tried googling and reading up on it but I have never rooted a phone before so I did not know exactly how to do it.
Sorry if this is an unnecessary post, thanks !

Unfortunately, there is really no root for it. I wouldn't even attempt a temporary on this phone.

sorry friend, you picked one of the worst development phones. nothing yet. Im hoping someday but its not looking great. My advice, find someone to trade their Tmobile note 4 for your VZW one. Thats what Im trying to do
ebay rooted ones?
I thought Tmobile note 4 wouldn't work on VZW? with custom ROM?
Saw some rooted Verizon Note 4 on eBay. I wonder if those were rooted before VZW locked the bootloader.
Would I be stuck with 4.4.4 if I get those?

The bootloader has always been locked, since day one. If they're rooted, they are development edition phones. There never has been root for this phone, and the bootloader has been locked down since day one.
C'mon folks... search the forum!!!
