Alright so I am a newbie with this stuff so that's why I don't understand these simple things.
- I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" (SM-T530NU) through odin, was the bootloader unlocked in the process to make it possible or did it not require the unlocking of the bootloader. OR was it unlocked from the start perhaps?
- (Blisspop) It says that I have to unlock my bootloader, based on the answer to the question above | how can I unlock it OR am I fine and I can download it? |

I have a SM-T530NU, as long as you were on lollipop when you rooted you're fine. I've been using blisspop for a while now

Do you need to get GAPPS installed?
If so can you link me to the thread?
Thanks!
Also is it supposed to take forever to download on my tablet..? Because its downloading very slowly.

Use this gapps, I personally prefer nano but any variant should work. The download takes a while since the server is based in Germany and we're not in Germany (I'm assuming you're not in Germany since you have the T530NU, a North American model)

since i can upload via scp i switched to androidfilehost, all new releases will be uploaded there.

Some people have requested other download links to get their firmware from other places than sammobile.com. I have to agree with them, when I downloaded from there it was a$$ slow and they make you pay for a quicker download speed....which is a HORRIBLE model for the android community. Others also couldn't download from sammobile directly on their device. Therefore, I have started to download certain firmware and upload to Android file host.
Here is what I have compiled so far:
SM-N910T - N910TUVU1COD6
SM-N910W8 - N910W8VLU1BOC4
SM-N910R4 - N910R4TYU1BOC4
I used this method to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903733
Is there any other firmware you would like? Let me know and I will add it to the collection.
I am not responsible for any damage, flash at your own risk.
If I install this can I put twrc recovery and use cf autoroot?

No. Those are base firmware tar files. Flash via Odin 3.09 or newer. Both CF Auto Root and TWRP are flashed in the same manner.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
So the phone can be rooted and backed up after the update is what I'm saying?

Yes you can. If you update via Odin, you can then also use CF autoroot to root and install TWRP. I will post a link to what I have used to do this. I am using COD6 rooted with TWRP 2.8.6.0

thanks!
I was wondering what other firmwares can be flashed to a Tmobile Note 4? Is it dependent on what other regions have the Qualcomm processor in the Note 4? I'd love to try something other than the Tmo firmware.
Thank you good sir!

I just happened to see your unanswered question - didn't know if you were still looking for an answer - unfortunately you cannot flash firmware from another phone on your phone using ODIN without bricking your device. you can flash the new Firmware for your phone and follow steps offered in the various XDA threads to install roms that are based on different variants - for example - if you are on TMOBILE Note 4 - once you have rooted - you can flash a Rom from the International version of the NOTE 4 - there is another file you have to flash to fix certain problems - but it can be done. you probably should do a google search to find all of the specifics - good luck - hope I helped you.

Thanks, it makes sense. I got a little confused for a minute because I can flash any country's firmware on my Tab S, but it's the WiFi - only version. Now I remember about installing international ROMs on the Note, system only. Thanks buddy [emoji106]

Yes, it will have the stock recovery.
There is a newer firmware for the W8 - BOE1 - release 05/05. BOC4 was from 03/12.

The international version comes with Bootloader unlocked so your bootloader is fine.
so I can safely install any rom?

Hey guys,
Rooted phone with TWRP and Xposed.
Purchased in USA (amazon)
About Phone: http://pasteboard.co/Khp5Wg2.png
There are so many threads in DEV (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development), sadly I'm not sure which one i should be referring to - Could i please be referred to the correct one?
Also:
AFAIF all i need to do is download the correct file, boot to TWRP and flash the file, that's what i did with my Nexus 5 - is the process still the same? will i need to re-install things like SuperSU/TWRP/Xposed?
if updating the stock via flashing deletes information on the device, is it possible do bypass this and do it in a different way? such as somehow re-enabling OTA?
thank you!

Hey,
thanks for the quick asnwer, there are 4 files for 6.0 there, since i have a single sim card and i got my device in US can i assume this is the right link:
For LA SingleSIM users: XT1572_CLARK_RETLA_6.0_MPH24.49-18_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Or is there a way to tell from inside the device if i have the LA or EU version?

They only difference between them is the default language ( which you can change )
Wrong thread. LA= Latin America
Go HERE as long as you have an xt1575. Look by your USB port

If I was you. I would download the 5.1.1 stock Twrp backup, flash that. Then fastboot flash the 5.1.1 recovery. After rebooting you should get the two updates. Then re-root after the two OTA updates. By taking the OTA's, I believe your getting some binaries you can't get from the firmwares (rpm.bin, etc).
Or... Just download the last twrp 6.0 backup and flash that. You won't have to worry about recovery then.

BNN is the correct region, it's USA for the nook models
Also when rooting your tab 4, please use the following root method, as it's safe, proven over again to be effective across multiple models (including yours) and doesn't have the same privacy or security concerns that comes with using king root:

Can you answer these questions:
Is your boot loader unlocked now?
Do you want a stock version of 5 or an after market version. If you have an unlocked boot loader do you want CyanogenMod 12 or a variation of it?
Why did you root your phone?

i flushed G900VVRU2BPB1 because i got the impression that it will be possible to root it with cf-auto-root
so now bootloader is locked again.

You can root any ROM with TWRP & Magisk. You just need an unlocked boot loader to get started with.
If you don't want to or can't unlock your boot loader go here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...oot-method-t3561529/post71147687#post71147687
