Hello XDA! n00b here.

I've been using iOS for the longest time and still own an iPhone. I bought the new Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T230NU this week and don't know much about rooting, just the jailbreaking scene for iOS. I don't like iOS in comparison to Android there's no competition. Are we still trying to figure out how to just apply the root access for this device or load a ROM? All I need is root access so I can use a TimeSync. That's really all I want for the time being and am a bit overwhelmed as far as OTA updates and the rest. Can someone help me out, or give me a little guidance? Thank you!!

My Norton blocks this site says it is known for malware and virus's

I do have the NE8 Factory rom from May downloaded and can Odin it back to that before use if the site is reputable.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopTongueBarry:
SRSroot does NOT root SM-T235 Despite their claims it does.

I tried SRSroot on my SM-T-235, twice, once with the NE8 Factory rom (5/2014), and once with the latest factory ROM.

It finishes and says Root completed or root successfdul, but then it reboots the device and after bootup, no root.

Looks like TWRP may be our only hope. Someone please create a TWRP recovery for the SM-T235 (LTE). The recovery image is posted on this board here. I'm willing (as are many others) to test it once completed.

I dont think us 7 inch users will see root....least not anytime soon.

So far heres what Ive tried

adb pushing every exploits

Built a kernel. I nor any one I can find can unpack the boot.img (or recovery.img) to put said kernel in it. Recognized devs have tried with me too.

Somehow was able to unpack system.img inserted su and superuser and rebuilt it back into an img file. Fails in odin

Used a tool that automates ^^^ that process, fails in odin

Mounted the system.img to a temp folder, cp'd su, superSU and busybox into it, re-tar'd it. Fails in odin.

Took a long shot chance and odin'd the Tab 3 7 inch cwr, didnt brick just wouldnt go into recovery.

Tried adding root into the cache.img to inject root, PASSES in odin but fails to root

Tried Universal Root de la Vega which is ay similar to ^^^ that process, PASSES in odin but again fails to root

tried every "root your phone tool" I could possibly find, none work.

Since cant unpack recovery.img or boot.img cant get any required files to build cwr or twrp

Samsung really screwed us on this one. And sucks since all other tab 4s got root. PLUS I bought the tab 4 on a splurge and first tab ever and cant do crap. haha

Anyways, if anyone else knows of any other methods, let me know. Ill try them out. Luckly this tab is forgiving on what Ive thrown at it. Ive tried everything I know. And kinda gotta give up since Ive run out of options

So looks like they are locking you into using their stuff without the possibility of switching to su of your choice afterwards.....Could be wrong tho...And only reason I can think of being forced to use their stuff....aint good haha Could be wrong but until someone finds a way I can swap in ChainFires SuperSU files and not lose root, I aint using it.
