TWRP Reboots During Flash - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I just got this tablet today (sm-t230nu) and I got it rooted. Rebooted into TWRP, and in my excitement, forgot to make a backup. I wiped everything, minus SD card. Went to flash a ROM, and it reboots TWRP. I've tried a few different ROMs, with same result. Zip file verification is unchecked, as well. Normally I could just restore the backup, but I didn't think anything would go wrong, and now I'm kinda stuck lol. I am downloading the stock ODIN file to flash now, but in the meantime I thought I'd try and fix this issue, too. Thanks

Bump. Anyone?

I'm using 2.8.0.1
EDIT: Flashed stock firmware, then rerooted and tried again. It worked this time around. I think I forgot to install busybox last time, that's the only thing I did different

i dont think it was busybox's fault because custom recoveries dont need even root if they are installed thru odin

I'm not sure what the issue was, then. A fresh install fixed it, though, so I dunno. Thanks anyways

[Q] Recovery problem

I cant boot in twrp/cwm recovery. I fully rooted phone, got SuperSU, but I can only go into default android recovery, even with twrp and cwm installed. What might be the problem?

Probably didn't install correctly. Try re-installing (remember if TWRP you have to reboot into TWRP before Android) it may fix it.

Try downloading it again, check the MD5 and see what happens, (could just be a bad download) then install. -- If not head over to the TWRP thread and ask there @bigbiff is responding quickly to questions.

I've tried that. I did the commands and reboot and nothing.
Okay guys so this is what is happening.
I have twrp 2.6.3,2
I am in a bootloop. I keep going to the recovery
I have ADB running and can push any zip files to it
I have tried pushing a version of paranoid to it.
Upon trying to flash i get this error:
error excuting updater binary in zip '/sdcard/pa.zip'
error flashing zip '/sdcard/pa.zip
So something is wrong with the binary?

tab 4 SM-T530nu

So I rooted my tablet and flashed it with twrp. But it was a long time ago that I did that. And rit running on Android 4.4.2. But to day I wanted to update it to android 5.0. It gave me an error and it said that I had to try downloading the update with keis and I did. Everything was going smoothly until it rebooted and now I'm stuck on bootloop with no backup. When I tried to boot into recovery I gave me the original samsung recovery can anyone help with this fix

Don't use Kies, it is literally awful. Use one of the SM-T530NU firmware files from this thread and flash it with Odin v3.10 (I would recommend factory resetting in stock recovery before you use Odin). Then you can root again using TWRP, just follow this method
Note: I have the exact same model as you and everything I just said worked fine for my tablet.
Thank you

Go to the development section and check out either BlissPop or Resurrection remix. Both are based off CM12.1. The versions made for the SM-T530 work on our SM-T530NU. I use BlissPop, it's great.
Update: Links, BlissPop and Resurrection Remix. Use TK Gapps (either nano or micro) or jajb's minimal gapps, and whichever you use you might want to check out the debloat script on the minimal gapps thread

Unable to install SuperSU, on MM stuck on boot.

Hello there,
I thought that there were more people with this problem, but I've this problem: first off, I got stock MM installed on my Style xt1572. Unlocked bootloader and the latest TWRP. But when I try to install SuperSU via TWRP, it just get stuck before the reboot animation. Any idea's what I could try perhaps?
Edit: Solution is just using the SuperSU in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1572-mm-twrp-root-xposed-t3276792
Thanks.
Did you select install SuperSU when twrp asked ? After flashing newest supersu?

Men i have the same problem and i dont know what to do :/
@patt yes.
@Doktaphex The one TWRP asked me to install and the latest beta. 2.49. Same problem.
Depending on the version of SuperSU that you are using there are 2 different rooting methods.
My suggestion would be to use the systemless root option here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
v2.65 is what you want. When you flash this in twrp it will automatically patch the boot image on your device (whilst also creating a backup of the original). It sounds as though you are both trying to use a version of SuperSU that implements the standard rooting method, this would mean that you must manually flash a modified boot image in order to bypass Android 6.0's internal system modification checks!
Flash the stock boot.img. Then see if it boots. Then ^^^ this^^^

Do not allow twrp to attempt to install superSU
IMPORTANT!!!!
Because you have already allowed twrp to do this, you will need to reflash your system partition to ensure that all traces of that version of SuperSU are removed before you flash the newer version.
I hope this helps you guys.

You are not suppose to click install superSU when twrp asks for it.

Yes.. But as you can see, I've done that already. But I got a restore without it. But even if I install that latest beta, the problem still presumes.

Sorry, I should have been more clear in my instructions. I would go ahead and reflash the rom that you want to use and then flash superSU v2.65.
Reboot and if twrp asks if you want it to install superSU choose the option for it NOT to do so.

I'M on stock! And that restore tool is for Pure, not Style! And I don't want to install a custom rom. Stock rom is still fine for me.

Also tried Kingo root funny enough, but no go.
Edit: Wow, okay. Installing some kind of version of SuperSU does the trick apparently. It's in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1572-mm-twrp-root-xposed-t3276792

So I finally got to Oreo, flashed magisk in twrp and got the black screen

I tried to restored a nandroid backup which didnt work, I then tried to lock and unlock bootloader thinking recovery would reset original image and that didnt work and now its wiped. Any suggestions as I'm looping into bootloader screen and I cant even push an image using adb.

You stated it kept going back into fastboot, sorry if I misunderstood. Your PC should see the phone while in TRWP, try another port on your PC or another cable.

Yes, my phone is wiped and no OS on it either. Thats probably why its going back to fastboot. Is my only choice to unbrick? Which as I'm seeing would require me to go to hydrogen os before even being able to go to oxygen os?

Even with it wiped, if you have TWRP installed and no OS you should still boot back into recovery, not fastboot. I would still try installing TWRP again, use the codeworkx version, seems to work best for most people.

After that I would format data in TWRP, reboot back into TWRP and then copy over a rom. Your PC should see the phone plugged in booted up in TWRP.

It's a known issue. You have to use Magisk 15.2 or higher.
If you flash an older version you will get a black screen with a blue notification led.
