So a few days ago I bought a new Galaxy Tab A. It's the 8 inch model (not sure how many sizes are in the Tab A series). More specifically, the model is SM-T350.
Which tablet is this exactly? A3, A5, A7, etc, etc? How can I tell?
Im very familiar with rooting my Galaxy phones, but getting info to root this tablet is a bit confusing for me. Is there a root method that works for all Tab A tablets, or do I need to find one for my specific model?
Thanks fellas
This is the forum for the A series phones, your tablet is a completely different device.
I rooted and built TWRP, along with a couple of custom roms for the Tab A a while ago.

Just rooted this tablet now i want to put a custom rom on it and get rid of all the samsung bloatware and use a cool looking theme an advice on where i should start?
Go to Settings > About tablet and tell me your model number and I can probably help you. For example, mine is SM-T530NU, I have a 10.1. The 7, 8, and 10.1 all have a few different model numbers. If you know yours, it's a lot easier figuring out which roms are right for you in the development section
I've been looking at the forums, and it seems there aren't any custom ROMS for the SM-T230NU specifically...
Perhaps someone could shed light on this situation and let me know if I'm incorrect?

Any ROM for the SM-T230 will also work on your device, go check the Development section, I know there's at least three or four that'll work on your device. Off the top of my head:
Acheron ROM
Prism Barebones
TranchidaKat
JimboModder's ROM
Your thread title is contradictory; the SM-T230NU is a 7.0 inch model not 8.0. Figure out which it is, if you do indeed have the 7.0 you can use the info I gave you. If you have an 8.0 (SM-T330NU) let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
8.0 ROMs will not work on a 7.0; 7.0 ROMs will not work on an 8.0

If the model number says SM-T230NU, you have a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0. Google "SM-T230NU specs" if you don't believe me. The info I provided in my previous post are the best ROMs currently available for your device.
Edit: @Nobiscis the 7.0 refers to the 7 inch screen, are you getting that confused with the fact that there are 8 GB of internal storage? When selecting ROMs it's the model number and screen size that determine what will work with your tablet. I assure you if your model number is in fact SM-T230NU, you have a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, the matter isn't really up for debate

I'm not the one debating here. You're the one writing the paragraph as to why my title is wrong. Just deal with it. I got my answer so we're done here.
Hey, I got this phone recently, a Galaxy J5 Metal and I want to root it, but it's my first android phone, so I have no idea how to start.
First of all, this is an really specific model, so there aren't any tutorials for it. Would other j5 tutorials work the same, or is the OS different?
I recently bricked my phone and I need to know what model my phone is to install twrp and a rom. My model is SM-G360T1, yet no one mentions this phone model on the forum so I don't know if this model is called multiple things. PLEASE HELP.

We don't have a dedicated rom unfortunately. Also try TWRP 2.7/2.8 (I think)
We do, just found roms and found twrp 3.0.2.0. for our phone and around 3 roms. I should have looked more, if you want to know where I got this than ask me for the links, or just look at the first 2 tabs of "Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development".
Hello. I am completely new to modding and installing premade OS to older tablets/phones. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 - SM-T537A. It has a very old Android OS on it and I can't update it due to not having AT&T anymore. I have seen people talking about LineageOS. Is it possible for someone to explain to me how I would go about using that on my tablet? Is that tablet even compatible with LineageOS? Please keep in mind, I am totally new to this. Any help would be appreciated.
