My tab 4 won't root and it is really annoying because I'm doing every thing right according to instructions. I tried vroot, Odin, towel root, key root, and more. Nothing worked. I did the key root app and pc version. Both say root failed every time. I tried towel root, my device wasnt supported. Key root failed, I don't speak Chinese so I don't know why it did. Odin was going text book until I got to the recovery mode part. R recovery mode did not have a root option even though I put the flash zip in my storage. What do I do? I really want to root, but nothing works on my device. I have the WiFi only version of the tab 4 and it has android 4.4.2.
What model do you have?

When you are in twerp recovery home screen tap install which brings up a file menu. Go to internal SD card if it is where you have the .zip or ext SD if its in the external card then tap on it to select then swipe to install. Should work on the first try then reboot to system and update SuperSU and the binaries and get stericsson's busybox too to install. Hope this helps you!

Root
I have a t230nu version of the tab 4. Here is exactly what I did with odin:
I got the latest version of Odin and turn. Also I got a zip file I needed to flash. I forgot the name.
Then I put the tab in download mode.
I flashed twrp through Odin AP and it worked, it said on Odin "RESET" and rebooted my tab.
Then I put the zip in my tab storage and went into recovery. It went into recovery mode, but had no root or flash option. That's where my problem arose. What did I do wrong?
I followed a video on YouTube by a user called Dylan Mcflurrie. I would post the link, but I'm brand new and can't.
I just went into recovery. All I see is stuff like:
Reboot
Apply update from external storage
Some thing about adb
Wipe system
Something about the cache
I see no Install things, I tried to see what the external storage thing was, but if required me to have a micro SD. Also I doubt that was what I needed.

When you ask a question, provide all information, "i don't remember" is useless.
reflash your recovery through Odin.
BEFORE you click start, UNCHECK auto restart/reboot,
wait for RES-OK message, then wait a few seconds more,
disconnect your tab and use the button combo to force reboot to recovery.
That should defeat the automatic re-installation of the tab's stock recovery.
Make a full backup and THEN flash your rooting file [supersu update zip[find it.]]

It worked!
Thanks guys for your help! Especially moonbutt! No where does it say to disable auto reset and it says to keep it on, but your method worked, so thanks dude!

Okay guys, this is another one of those unbrick threads. I have been installing roms and kernels quite a lot recently, but I recently came into a problem. I hit wipe sd card, and it wiped all of the roms, and apps from the device. I basically have nothing installed. I do have twrp, nexus root toolkit, and adb though, so what should I do? Thanks
Try returning to stock. That also happened to my friend who has TWRP. It seems like TWRP screws up a lot of peoples devices. He had an S2. He just returned to stock and reflashed CM10 and it was fine. Now he is a CWM user.

How would I re install those roms though, it even deleted the backups . I have adb but no fast boot
Adb push a rom.zip to /sdcard then install it from recovery
Sent from my Nexus 7
Don't I need fastboot for that?
Also left recovery and now the hardware keys don't work but adb still does, so I don't know if I can get back in to recovery
Download your stock ROM, and reflash it.
You will get a ton of thanks if you can walk me through it .
The keys probably don't work while in the bootloader because of the stupid bug, connect it via USB and it probably will. You can use adb while the device is booting up (or stuck halfway booting up) or you can use fast boot from the bootloader to bring it back to stock. Check the unbrick threads for instructions on how to do it.
Just get Wug's toolkit and click on the "Flash Stock And Unroot" Button.

Hello, I followed the root guide in this forum, it was successful, then I tried to change the LCD density to 240 and the mobile refused to boot!!
I am downloading a firmware from sammobile.com but still have no idea how to do it! should I use Odin or Kies?
Switch off your Note 3.
Put it in Download Mode (Home Button + VolDown + Power), then press VolUp to confirm.
Plug USB cable to Note 3 and computer.
Start Odin, on the left, you'll see a yellow square with "Com.xx", that's confirm your Note 3 is recognized by Odin.
Extract the archive you dlded from Sammobile, Samfirmware... You must have now a .tar or .tar.md5 file
Put it in the PDA field of Odin
Press Start
Wait until reboot
:good:
why not just flash a pre rooted rom in the dev section. You already have cwm. Can you get to cwm?
Edit
or do what luminouche says. You'll probably have to root again though. Not a big deal.
Thanks everyone! It is back to life now, but I will probably try again with the Screen Density thing.. I cannot stand the 480dpi

mine is stuck on samsung logo after boot. I can still access the cwm recovery.
Anything I can do or I have to flash the rom again. And will I lose my data ?
How does it happened? have you flashed anything?
Any way you can reflash ROM, flashing stock ROM won't erase data.

I flashed a animation zip file in CWM which I found on xda. There is also a restore framework zip to undo what the animation file did. But I can not transfer that to my phone as its not showing up as a USB drive in my laptop.

Try this by using a fat32 micro sdcard.
1. Copy restore to the sd card
2. Insert sd card in phone
3. In CWM flash the restore.
if that doesn't work you will probably have to flash your firmware again.

I think better to have a look to script of estore zip,what restore file does do. bcoz if that packed with some files which is not from this device than it won't work. If previous file which he flashed have script to make backup and restore.zip have script to restore same thing then only it will work.

This is the thread from where I got that animation zip file.
And I rooted by following the steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460720
Yes I am from India. Delhi to be exact. I just don't want to lose data as I spent a lot of time customizing the phone.
Ok good news is that you can restore fom that zip, bad news is you need SD card, if you can manage that then it's easy.
otherwise
If you knoe adb, you can push file with to sdcard with adb command.
OR
simply flash stock ROM, that won't erase your data but you need to reroot.
Do you have internet access on PC?

Okay I got my phone working. I used adb pusher app , found it on xda. Simple to use.
But now my wifi is not working. Its stuck on turning on.
I did a little searching , the issue was solved by flashing a custom kernel.
Can I do that on a stock rom like mine. And which kernel will work with note 3?
There is no custom kernel available in my knowledge on your device.
Make backup and try wiping device otherwise flash stock rom.
And don't flash any other device component on your, you may soft brick your device.

Here's a post from rg1003
Detailing his steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51861548
Thanks for this ROM - my install went very smoothly. In case it helps anyone here is what I did - none of it required fastboot or adb:
Stating Point: Skrilax's V8 Bootloader, Thor's 1.7.3 Recovery, Randomblame's 4.3 JellyTime Release 1 (great ROM BTW). All the needed files (new recovery, OmniIROM, gapps, SuperSU) downloaded to my external sd card.
Step 1: Reboot into existing recovery and flash Thor's TWRP rev 2.0 beta 1 recovery. Reboot and make sure I could load my existing JB ROM.
Step 2: Reboot into the new recovery, go to wipe menu and choose Factory Reset.
Step 3: Flash OmniROM from OP, reboot. I did not have the issues others are having and was able get into the new ROM in less than a minute.
Step 4: Enabled developer options so I could reboot from the power menu (not necessary but convenient), reboot into recovery and flash the minimal gapps from the link in the OP. Reboot and make sure I could still boot into OmniROM.
Step 5: Reboot into recovery one more time and flash SuperSU from the OP
I had some trouble getting into the play store at first, it seemed to hang but after two more reboots (after first reboot I was able to load the play store and after the second I was able to access my apps) I was able to install TB so I could reinstall the rest of my stuff.
Maybe this methodical install one thing, reboot and make sure everything is working ok before rebooting to install the next is overkill but in the end it all worked for me.
Looking forward to using this ROM on my A500. Thanks again for all your hard work and keeping this tab alive!

Well I reinstalled W7 and everything went great until, I didnt follow directions on the rom I was trying to flash. I am ICS bootloader unlocked now and I have V8 installed but now I cant get into recovery. I am able to get in to a different menu which says I can boot into recovery but all it does is says booting recovery kernel image. I went in to fastboot mode and used fastboot command fastboot reboot recovery and it didnt work, I do have the drivers installed for fastboot but I think I am missing something small probably. Any help would be appreciated. I wiped system in recovery and flashed Evil Alex rom, then read the directions like an idiot, this is way different than all the phones.

Hi Guys, I came on here last week seeking advice as my Note4 has always been seriously laggy and slow. I tried resetting to factory etc however still the same. So the advice I got was to root and try another rom.
I successfully rooted my 910F device (confirmed by running test root app). I then downloaded a new rom to try out. In the instructions it suggested that I should be running the respective versions of Bootloader and Modem - which I downloaded from the links in the instructions. I installed both Bootloader and Modem via Odin successfully however now the device just loops in a boot up sequence. I copied the ROM files to the SD card however the when I try and load the rom from there it says that 'Update from external storage is disabled'.
I've downloaded a few other ROMs however they are zip files and I am guessing not designed to work with odin??
Hoping that there is a headache free way of recovering this.
Apologies in advance. I am an newbie with this stuff, really appreciate any help!!!!!
Thanks,
OB
You need custom recovery use TWRP.
Rom needs to be a zip DO NOT UNZIP IT.
From recovery flash the zip.

Really appreciate the reply.
The modem and Bootloader have already been loaded. So to be totally clear, I need to download an app called TWRP and load the ROM file (ZIP) with that right?
Thanks a bunch, really appreciate the help.
Bests,

To add, the phone is not booting up (stuck in the boot up sequence) so I cant download and install any apps on it? Is TWRP a PC app?
Thanks,

Nope, TWRP is not an App. It's a Recovery. You will find it in the development section. It's an img which you flash via ODIN. After that, you shut down the Phone and reboot via holding vol up + Home + Power. It will Boot you into the TWRP Recovery. from there you can then Install the Roms. They are provided as Zip. Don't Unzip them. Just select the zip to be installed via TWRP.

I see SuperSU installed so it worked. Thank you.
Do you know which TWRP I can install now?

I'd guess it would be the following for g903w s5 neo lte
https://dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-s5neolte.img.tar.html
Put in AP section of odin
As soon as the device restarts hold power button Vol up & home button to enter recovery
If you miss the moment to enter recovery for the first time after flashing & your phone boots you will have to reflash the image until you enter twrp for the first time

I managed to get TWRP installed. I tried to install Lineage 15.1 as per this site:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums...-for-galaxy-s5-neo-android-8-1-oreo-download/
and am now stuck in a loop. It installed successfully with no errors but will stay stuck on the Lineage loading screen then revert back to recovery.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Should I install 14.1?

Correct process for flash rom
In twrp
Goto wipe
Advanced wipe
Wipe system data cache delvik/art cache
Install
Select rom zip
Install
Select gapps zip - use mind the gapps arm for lineage os 15. 1 http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
Optional install
Select root zip (use magisk)
Wipe delvik/art cache
Restart
If you didn't follow the above that's why it would bootloop
Hi, I'm wanting to root my s5 neo on 7.0 and like you, I'm also and finding it very difficult to find a guide that has a successful ending
I'm new to all this but I did notice that you tried to install lineage 15.1 for sm-g903F but your device is sm-g903w. Could that be your problem?
Have you successfully rooted your device yet?
To be honest I don't really want root, I just want to extract or atleast view all my saved wifi network passwords from the device.
