Can't root my Tab 4 with Towelroot

As title says, I've tried TowelRoot but It said 'unsupported version' and I was afraid of using anything else that might damage my tab 4
Thanks in advance :/

Yep

I've been looking around for ways to root it as I received the same message from towelroot saying my phone is not supported. Anyone know how to fix this or if there is even a root available for my samsung galaxy tab 4, version 4.4.2?

Still doesn't answer me :/

Yeah still doesn't really help me either.. Is there no root available or something yet?

Twrp recovery is a way for us to flash stuff into the system or even whole new systems.
If you find and install that on your phone you can then flash SuperSU. I'm sorry I don't have this device yet so I cannot help you more. But I have done similar with two other Samsung phones.

As I understood, TWRP is a root-required application so I guess it would be totally useless to have it while my phone it's sel not rooted.

Wrong.... twrp doesnt require root. Youre flashing it in odin.

Im pretty sure he said. Flash twrp recovery with odin. Theres like some sort of file you flash with odin to get twrp, not with the apk.

Twrp is a recovery.
Samsung uses a pc recovery software called Odin. It is capable of flashing any part of an unlocked device including a recovery partition.
Since the tab 4 did not have a locked boot loader we can flash twrp without root. Once twrp is installed with Odin on the PC you can simply flash su into the device using twrp

For that matter you can "flash" SuperSU with Odin if someone (traditionally chainfire) creates an Odin flashable bin.

If that would work, I think I would try it however, I don't have any experience with this, Could you guide me or send me any guide about it ?
Thanks

I would be the wrong person to help.
I have not yet received our tab 4 in the mail. I am speaking from experience from other Samsung devices.
I would recommend trying YouTube.

So, I've searched about this but I can't manage to find odin to fit in with my tablet (Specially my model number), So I can't really try it hoping nothing to happen specially with the warnings about not to use other files.

Hi sorry for a late response. But it seems theres a test recovery. I dont own the device and cannot gurantee you root for your model. As it seems your kernel is before june 3, im not sure why towelroot wont work. Have you tryed other rooting applications? Heres the thread and theres a post somewhere for the T231

Kingo root should install an app so it can connect with the kingo application. Perhaps searching on google and installing kingo app can help?

Root and recovery working on lollipop

I don't take credit for this, i am just giving a guide on how i was able to gain root and recovery on the Sprint Note 4 with Lollipop.
Let me start by saying i was running the Hybrid-X series rom. Here were my steps to upgrade to Lollipop and keep all my data. If you are on stock, skip this step.
1. Flash the stock rom tar found here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95853297432265112
2. Once you reboot, run system update and you will download and install Lollipop. When it installs and reboots, you should still have all your data and apps.
Once in lollipop, i followed our old root method which does work for lollipop found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
Now, to get recovery, you can do it 2 different ways.
1.download an app called flashify from the play store. Download the following file in .img form:
http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltespr
2. download the .tar file from above and flash in oodin.
Once you have both on your phone, open flashify, select recovery image and hit Yup! and then reboot. Your phone should reboot into TWRP.
At this point you will have all your data, root, and recovery. Enjoy
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for damage to your phone or voiding your warranty.
As a note, i would backup your data though any apps that you can. I wiped the data since the system seemed sluggish. When i restored thought titanium, there were a lot of apps that were crashing. Wiping the data to each app didn't work. I had to uninstall and re-install the app, but then you loose the data.
On a second note, once i wiped data in recover, lollipop was very nice and smooth.

Awesome good find have to try it out

This works if you already had TWRP installed?

I'm guessing once you flash the stock rom tar you get the stock recovery, that's why in step 3 you have to use flashify to get twrp back.

Once you flash the stock rom, and update to lollipop, you loose TWRP.

TWRP works. I backed up 5.0.1, did a full wipe and restored it. No problem.
The only issue I have found so far, es file Explorer can no longer write to system or change file permissions. Bummer, I'll have to find another way to copy over my custom boot animations and sounds.

After the update, my sim is locked again. Galaxy Tools will no longer unlock for international use.
And it doesn't read the MSL either.
EDIT:
It does still add all the toggles.

How do I do that? When I boot to recovery it just boots to the stock recovery. I read somewhere else that I should rename a folder. I haven't done that so should I do that? If so, what folder? I'm sort of a noob at this. Would u mind explaining with a little more detail for me please? I would be eternally greatful.

I myself am new to Samsung devices, coming from Moto and 1+1..but with those devices..once the recovery is flashed, then one will reboot directly into recovery..anotherwords..flash the recovery file, then reboot the device to recovery..then from that, once into the custom recovery, one would boot normally..
The reason I'm un-sure in my explaination with the Samsung way..is NO custom recovery NORE Root is available for my new device of just a few days ago..and using Odin, I have only practiced, prepairing for when, hopefully the Dev's I'm in personal contact with, will come up with the Recovery and Root I need..
BUT..I can assure you, when flashing with adb, the recovery file, if one doesnt reboot immediately into recovery after flashing..to make recovery stick..otherwise the flash wouldnt take, and the stock recovery would remain..SOMEONE here with Odin experiance, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong..
SORRY, thread, for getting so far off context..

in my experience I flashed twrp for the recovery and it wasn't until then that it gave me the unlocked lock and the "custom." Also you could check same way they said by loading "download mode" (Power + Home + Volume Up). It should say "Developer." I've also read about the "BrickBug" app but I haven't personally used it. As for rooting I'm still working on mine.

Not to sound like I'm clueless, but when you say flash SuperSu, is that through Odin? And if so, what section does it go under? I've also followed other guides to go into recovery mode after flashing twrp through odin, and that just tries to install a software update that nobody has mentioned on here. Also, SuperSu doesn't seem to have anything for the Note 4 yet, so what version would we flash?
And with SuperSuME, when it opens SuperSu, SuperSu gives me an error message and tells me to auto-root it. And with that, I assume it means with CF-auto root, which also, last I checked, doesn't have a 5.1.1 note 4 download.
Sorry if I'm being a burden on you with all my questions, I've never rooted a phone successfully before today (and that's just temp root)

SuperSU
I didn't want to start a new thread for this. I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp but I am running into issues with SuperSU. Flashing the latest zip causes a bootloop and I cannot install it with Odin either. I verified that everything else has happened correctly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
