Somebody was going to give me a galaxy gear watch, I can't seem to find any solid info on if it will work on the nexus 4. Anybody know?
Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a galaxy tab 4 tablet or something similar for under $150 if there's better options out there. I'm basically looking for something I can root, flash and just tinker around with. I noticed there's a bunch of different model numbers, is there any models that cannot be rooted? If i go out and buy a brand new one will I be able to root it?
I bought the tablet for my son. I have a sony tablet z2 and i am surprised that the tab works very well. I thought that it would stutter,...but it is very good beginers tablet. I have bought him SM-T533 10.1 WI-fi model which has a new 64bit snapdragon 410 SOC version...despite the low PPI on tablet the display is nice and also the battery is powerful. As for rooting i think you could easily root it...but since it is working very well why would you like to root it for. buy it and enjoy

SM-T530 (Wi-Fi only), SM-T530NU (Wi-Fi only, IR blaster), SM-T535 (4G) for the 10.1 inch series, SM-T330 (Wi-Fi only), SM-T330NU (Wi-Fi only, IR blaster) for the 8.0 series. Those are the ones with real custom rom support. Cyanogenmod 12.1 on this tablet is very nice, especially blisspop. Most models can be rooted, but AFAIK the SM-T533 cannot be rooted.
I remember reading that the SM-T533 (10.1), SM-T333 (8.0), and SM-T233 (7.0) can't be rooted yet. Some of the AT&T and Verizon branded models (SM-T537A, SM-T337A, SM-T537V, SM-T337V) can't be rooted because of the locked bootloader and there's no chance for roms on any of them IMO.
Oh, a guide to the model numbers: they're all SM-T###. The first # is either 2, 3, or 5. Any model number where that first number is 2 is a 7.0 inch, 3 is an 8.0, and 5 is 10.1. The second number is always 3, don't worry about it so much. The last number can be several numbers: if it's 0 it's a Wi-Fi only model, 1 is a 3G model, and 5 and 7 are 4G models. So: SM-T231 is a 7.0 3G, SM-T335 is an 8.0 4G, etc.

If you're looking for a travel friendly model go for the sm-t330nu galaxy tab 4 8.0
mostly the same as the sm-t530nu
easily mod-able and many/most rom builds for sm-t530/nu can be ported to sm-t330nu with a kernel build and some
correction of proprietary binaries and libraries, usually sound.
also you can set up a chrooted distro on external sdcard and run at terminal, this comes is very handy for kernel builds
and similar smaller projects, especially for projects that encounter issues when attempting a cross-compile for arm.
As long as you have the chrooted distro established correctly, including the kernel headers for your tab model installed
in the right place, you can achieve native compiles for the tab on the tab.
I have the sm-t530nu and the sm-t330nu and both are set-up the same in that regard, very handy.
Hi All,
I am trying to look for the Tab 4, 7.0" in 16GB.... does this exist? Because if so, I am having trouble trying to find it... All I can find is either the 7.0" in 8gb.... or I can find the 8.0" in 16gb....
So if there is a Tab 4, 7.0" with 16GB storage, what is the model number for it please?? like T230... ?
Also, does the Tab 4 Tablets feature the Knox security?? And if so, is it permanent, like the newer devices... Or can it be reset with Triangle Away, like the older devices (ie: my phones, i9100 and N7000).
Any help gratefully received.
Basically mum wants to treat my dad to a Tablet, but for under/around £100. I am basically trying to find one that is very customizable and has a great community of ROMs and is safe from things like Knox. Is the Tab 4 my best option, or are there any other budget Tablets out there... with a large community of ROMs and safe for flashing...
Many thanks, Lister
Just bought this tablet today for $90, I see Tab4s on here but all the Model numbers are X304, I'm guessing perhaps there isn't any development on this model?
Might help
I found this, don't know if it works.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/root-lenovo-tab-10-tb-x103f-t3758371
It's for the tb-x103f not the tb-x104f, but I can't find a difference.
Does the above method work with the TB-X104F? Any update on this?
Hi everyone, I received 2 Galaxy Tab A 2016 7 inch tablets in excellent condition, to keep working for 2 kids.
This device came with android 5, and I'm trying to upgrade to any newer version in an attempt to use google family control, and improve app compatibility.
I would like to know where I can look for an odin rom to see if the compatibility with this model, has anyone used it here?
