Need a little direction - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (sm-t330nu). I recently put a custom rom on it (thank you @Jazzexpresso I love it) Previously I was able to run the Quick Boot app to boot into recovery no problem but now if I select reboot nothing happens. I have spent a couple days searching post but haven't found any solutions. Can someone please direct me to the right post? Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with doing the button combinations. It is just that I have a tablet case that doesn't make it the easiest to do. That and it is a whole lot more convenient.

well i think you need gravity box and choose expanded boot manager or something like that if you go ik recovery alot....... i go myself only like every 2 weeks to make backup

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I looked up Gravity Box but it said it was not compatible with Samsung Touchwiz. Any other suggestions?

there are special builds for touchwiz

Found a fix
After more research I found a solution. Native 5 Way Reboot by @pyromayniyak. Works great! Thank you @pyromayniyak!

Stuck at Android system recovery utility 3e.

Hello guys.
I'm really sorry for writing this topic - others I found didn't really help me, I am begginier with Android. ZTE Blade is my 1st smartphone with this OS.
I was not interested in installing custom ROMs etc, but I needed to backup my applications, so I had to root my blade. I did Temporary Root by using z4root. After having some fun using Titanium Backup, I had to turn my phone off/on. I did so.
Now I am stuck at Android system recovery, which looks clearly like this: bongizmo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_1364_macro_h500.jpg (picture found by using Google Images)
First of all, I tried to reboot - still same. Then i tried to wipe, followed on rest of two options. I'm still stuck at this and I am really confused, don't know what should I do now.
I would love to get any information on how to solve my issue. I'd also like to know every reason of this behavior - what could I've done wrong?
Oh, god, i was just about to have fun playing ragnarok online on my smartphone! :<
Regards.

*Looks at pic* Well this is new and interesting.
Exact specs of phone, is it a Gen1/2/3, where did you buy it how much ram does it have, is it a V880+ or a U880 or just a plain old V880?
You're going to have to use a TPT so these things must be known or it will not work. Fortunately this phone is almost un-brickable without resorting to physical violence so it can be restored if you just know the specs.
And don't worry, i've done worse things to my phone just to try something that in the back of my mind i KNEW wouldn't work.

You need the one for i9505 - ie jflte... it's linked in the relevant thread
I've done that but when i reboot pressing the three buttons & releasing it doesn't go into recovery. Maybe i'm releasing at the wrong time. What is the correct procedure. ?
It's ok, I've sorted it. Think I've got a dodgy centre button. Thanks.

Only if the two lines from top are displaying different values for PARTS and PHONE firmware then you would
1. Dial *#2663# in the dialer
2. Click on TSP FW UPDATE (General) it shouldn't need a reboot
3. Make sure PARTS and PHONE show the same values
4. Inverted Touch Screen Fixed
THANKS GOES TO @Wuby986

Also i would like to say that this is gonna help only if, once you are in the firmware page after dialing, the first two lines from top are displaying different values for part's and general firmware..
Hitting the tsp update is going to make those match

Thanks a lot Mr wuby986,you save my life,after trying many methods on s6 reverted touchscreen,and all failed,tried yours and works,thanks a lot once again.
Worked for me!
I somehow got into this state on my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 (N910T) when I flashed the latest TWRP (v3.0.2-0). At first I flashed the .img using my existing TWRP 2.8.7, but then I was unable to boot into recovery. I then used ODIN to flash the .tar version which worked. However, after rebooting into the system my touch was all messed up. Thankfully the stylus worked just fine so I was able to use that to use my phone until I found this thread.
I did *#2663# in the dialer, saw my versions didn't match and did the update as per the OP. Everything is back to normal now!
This fixed my screen glitch. You make me love the internet. I found this page only after several hours of searching.
I had tried to update to TWRP 3.0 with the Android app but selected the wrong device (Note 4 Edge instead of Note 4).
I do have other problems. Recent and Back Button Not working
how to fix the recent button and back button of galaxy s6,it was working before then suddenly the button stop working even when you touch it its not showing any response or light..i did try to full factory reset in odin mode buts not fix the issue
please help im using the assististant menu for a while ands it really annoying

So I have the same inverted screen problem! Although mine is across the Y-axis... Touch the left and the button on the right gets clicked.
I'm SURE what did it was installing TWRP 3.0! And now I see someone else had the same cause!
But I have a G920P running 5.0.2. (and I'd like to keep my firmware where it is). What can I do!? HELP!
I had root, but I needed to install a recovery so I could install Xposed Framework so I could enable a module. And here we are...
Update: This issue was solved for me. TWRP still won't boot, but at least my touch issue is gone.

[Q] Can the Ouya still be rooted

Hi
All the threads are old and have mixed results.
I picked up a Ouya at a thrift store for 15 bux. Would like to root but dont want to trash it. Is there a new method that works.
I powered it up and it took an update yesterday so its at the latest.
There's a search button for that reason. Just try it...

I'm not sure why non of the guides work for you. I used the root tool in ouyas own store the other day on an ouya my friend didn't want anymore and it worked fine.

Like a couple years ago when I rooted my first ouya I used fastboot and cwm. But I'm pretty sure there was an all in one ouya adb tool that would did everything you could possible need root cwm Roms backups I will have to take a look when I get home but I have the apk on a backup drive somewhere. I will try to find it for you.

Correct. I did it last night with a mix of Kingroot (older version, the new stops working at 18%) and the updated xposed and playstore zip file.
If anyone needs, and if it's allowed, I will post the files later.

Need help to unbrick note 4!!

Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot
now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that. Let me know if you find a way to fix the issue... good luck man....!

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

I wasn't asking for him to send me a private message or anything. I just wanted to know if he got it fixed or not before I spent my time writing all the steps out.

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know
