Is there a way I can update this Samsung Tab S2 VELTE from X819XXU2APL1 to whatever is newest and working with the newest LineageOS?
Currently I've wrecked the current install of android on this tab. If I have to install the stock rom in order to do this, where can I find it?
Thanks.

Hi guys I'm new here and need some help...
I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on baseband version XXUBMGA. I have rooted and installed TWRP v2.5.0.0.
1) I have TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I want to update to TWRP v2.5.0.2, can i just flash the latest version through Odin? Or do I need to remove the older version of TWRP first? If so, how?
2) I'm looking for a rom for my phone like the Google Edition but with more features, however I want the phone to be stable and be able to be used as a daily driver. I have seen a rom called JellyBam, has anyone had any experience with it and if so, was it good?
I would like to go with CynagoenMod but there are only nightlies for the i9505 and I heard they are unstable with a lot of bugs, is this true? Is the latest version stable?
Cheers!

Hi,
1. No you don't need to remove, just flash the newer version over the one you have. Usually you will find this information on TWRP thread on first pages.
2. To keep features of the phone, just check development forums for I9505 and read more about the custom ROMS available there and what people saying about and you gonna be able to decide yourself what suits you best.
Cheers

1) flash it with odin, it will replace the old one.
2) you can try roms and decide. (read posts on rom threads to have an idea)
Thanks both for the replies, greatly appreciated! I will have a look at the section here on XDA and decide Thank for the help!
HI.
I really liked the idea of keeping pretty stock (ie no custom rom).. but just tweaking with root / xposed etc.
But.. doing that I now cant install firmware upgrades...
Is it possible to remove root so that ota firmware upgrades work? Have no idea as in the past I've just had custom roms..
Thanks!

One of the mods will probably move this to Q&A as its where you should be asking this question.
Anyways if your sticking with stock and rooted but want to update the firmware as they come out you simply get it via a full firmware flash from Samsung's own Kies 3 software.
Doing this however breaks your root and any apps/mods that you've installed to the system partition however you can simply just re-root and reinstall any system apps/mods you happened to have installed there.
This is not a big deal and is generally quick and painless.
Also remember that if you use a custom recovery TWRP or CWM doing a full firmware flash will restore the stock recovery and you will half to re-flash that back as well.
You wont get notifications about updates however since your rooted and OTA gone. Just keep an eye on things for your specific device and region for updates. People generally post here on XDA about the new updates when their available as well as firmware update news from Sammobile.com
You can also plug your phone into your computer with Kies3 running and it will check to see if your on the latest firmware available as a way of manually checking.
II had the same doubt. Thank you for the clear explanation.
Hi community I just need help to figure out what to do with my Tab 4 7.0 the history begins this way:
I get this Tablet already used not brand new it looked to have Android Lollipop 5.1.1 when I got it and didn't appear suspicious and lend it to one of my kids, the problem begins after some time the Tablet didn't connect to the Play Store anymore proly because my kids was trying to root it via KingoRoot or other apps to mess with some games, so after that I decided to solve the problem doing a Hard Reset but it didn't work, the tablet still can't connect to the PlayStore via RH-01 error message.
So I decided to flash it with the official stockl rom from Samsung, my BIG surprise is that this Tablet never get Lollipop 5.1.1 it didn't ever get Lollipop at all accordingly to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-galaxy-tab-4-official-lollipop-5-t3102844
Because my tablet is the SM-T230NU (the model accordingly to the box is SM-T230NYKAXAR) model and that model never gets LL, so I figure it out this was a modified rom? Even in the Info about the device over settings it says the model of the device i "Nexus 5" instead of Tab 4 or whatever Samsung call this device but not Nexus 5 that is a phone from LG.
So I stopped here, because I've heard it can be dangerous to Downgrade Android versions? If not what should I do? Use Odin3 and flash the rom mentioned in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-stock-galaxy-tab-4-firmware-t3013128
For the T230NU USA variant? Hope u can advice me about what to do and give some tips because this will be my first flash on a device.
Thanks in advance! :laugh::good:
They probably flashed a custom rom with broken GAPPS, just restore with Odin and the official rom.

By restore u mean flash it with some of the roms provided in this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab...mware-t3013128
So there's no problem if I have 5.1.1 right now and get down to 4.2 as is the official one?
I don't see much rooting about the i9506, more about ROMs. I am on Android 5.0.1. I'd like to root my phone and move to a newer Android. Can I get some guidance on that? So far I downloaded CF-Root from mobi.firmware. Is that the best way to go?
What version of TWRP should I look for?
Also, regarding ODIN, is it specific to the OS version or can I always just use the latest when changing ROMs?
I'm trying to upgrade to a newer version of android firmware so I can load Octo4a/Octoprint onto my device. Looking at the thread on how to install the LineageOS I hit a wall saying I need to have bootloader I545VRUAMDK. Is there another way to get to a newer OS, or is there a way to change the botloader, or am I SOL all around?
