[Galaxy Tab 4 General] macbroom:
Towelroot is an exploit and Samsung had already plugged the hole on a couple of other devices already. Thanks for confirming that taking the update kills root and renders towelroot useless.

BTW, where are you, and do you know how large the update was? New kernel? Date? Notice anything different?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] sourabh44:
Ya cause I did not receive any update for tab 4 8.0

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Aceyalone:
What happens after I root the tablet using TowelRoot? What happens if there is an Android update? What if there is an update from Samsung? What can I update in the future and what can't I update? Other than getting rid of all the Samsung bloatware, is there any other advantage to rooting the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Flukester69:
The only thing I would think is that you can install apps that need root. If you chose to update, it would probably lose the root. My guess on that. I think I'm going to wait until ROM dev cycle starts before I go rooting or unlocking my device. A Paranoid ROM though would be tempting, it would fly on this tablet!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] sourabh44:
When are ROMS coming any guesses. Please can't take the touchwiz UI anymore.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] T3snake:
First there will be stock based roms cm and paranoia wud come after a long time probably

As for touchwiz ui

U can use some xposed modules and change launcher

To replace it till a themed rom comes
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] sscdougal:
Can confirm this works on 10.1 sm t530 variant
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Flukester69:
This towel root doesn't give me any confidence that it won't mess up my device. I updated my rom that put some kid safe thing on. I don't know if this will work now because I did this. I have a Nexus 7, Transformer Prime and a Galaxy Nexus phone. Root was done in a different way.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] raitchison:
As always when you are looking to modify (including root) your device you are doing so at your own risk but I'm been rooting Android devices since I got the original G1 back in 2008, every other Android device I've ever had has been rooted and TowelRoot is one of the easiest & IMO least risky methods I've ever seen.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Flukester69:
Meanwhile there are people here stating it works until you have updates. Have you updated? Did you still have root? Rather hear that than something I already knew about risk
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] raitchison:
One should always assume that an OTA or other manufacturer (or carrier) provided update will break root until you have reports that they don't (and don't take those reports at face value.

When I rooted my 8.0 with TowelRoot one of the first thing I did was disable to the Samsung update applications.

If you are rooted and want to keep root don't take an OTA unless you have reliable info that the it won't unroot you.

If you are not yet rooted but think you might want to root in the future don't take an OTA unless you have reliable info that you will still be able to root.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Flukester69:
At this point I think OTA for me outweighs the value of root. If/when a rom comes out for our device I might reconsider.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] raitchison:
As always it up to you but I'm curious what features are in an OTA that would be compelling enough for you to risk never being able to root or load custom ROMs on your device.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Flukester69:
Security stuff or an update greater than my current 4.4.2. I don't see a compelling reason for root. Right now everything works great. If paranoid rom comes then to me that's a reason to mess with root.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] raitchison:
OK just be aware that if you take an OTA you may never be able to root in the future. If the OTA breaks the process that the currently available root methods use you would have to wait for a new method which may never come.

For example I'm happily running a Google Edition ROM on my AT&T Galaxy S4, had I taken an OTA back in 2013 I would have forever been prevented from doing so.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] T3snake:
I agree.

Most updates that arent actual firmware upgrades are mostly minor bug fixes that wudnt ever be noticed by normal users and to fix vulnerabilities (that probably allowed u to root)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Flukester69:
Again. I'll wait until some further dev occurs before rooting. Eventually I'm sure Wugs or something will come.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jokowi:
Yeah your're right Xposed modules, they have done many times customing my phones, even sometimes i forgot i'm still in stock rom :D
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] bsavoir22:
Battery drain

I used towelroot today and noticed a very big jump in battery usage. I had 35% when i used the root and after 5 minutes i had 1%. I have used root on a number of android phones and tablets and never seen this happen. Is there something i might have done wrong, or is it an issue that others are experiencing.

Update: I did a factory reset and everything is working normally. Don't know what happened but after the factory reset battery drain issue disappeared. I still have the root provided by towelroot. So I guess all-in-all towelroot worked good for me.

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] raitchison:
Strange, I definitely did not experience that. I wonder if it's either the Samsung software update service or maybe Knox that was freaking out because you were rooted. I know I disabled all that stuff first thing after I rooted and I expect most people do the same.

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ashlar123:
Strange indeed... Maybe it's because the tab is branded by the operator (Polish Play Mobile)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
That's right. Towelroot does not work on the latest (August) firmware. There is a solution. Need to flash with ODIN earlier boot.img*, then you can get a Root with Towelroot. Then you can flash the last boot.img. Root remains.

Sorry my bad English .

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] slushbilly:
I don't want to lose root so I am using titanium backup to freeze system update until hopefully towel root will work for this new ota.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ludeguy:
So... will this work for all Tab 4? For some reason, I am a bit unsure what it will do. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] slushbilly:
Yes. I used towel root and my tab 4 keeps prompting to install the ota. Freezing the two system update programs in TB will prevent it from promting every time you turn your device on. Working good so far.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
You probably did not read my post # 95.

Do so and Root will be again.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ludeguy:

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
If you do upgrade you will lose Root. But it's easy to fix.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] slushbilly:
By doing that will you trip knox?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
If you do everything as in my post # 95 will Root and Knox will be 0x0
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ludeguy:
Sounds good. But upgrade on what?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
What do you mean by that update?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] slushbilly:
There was a software upgrade for the tab 4 10.1 two days ago.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
I guess I understand you correctly. I'll try again. There is a firmware update. It can be updated over the air. If you can then update. At the same time lose Root. In order to restore Root is necessary to flash through Odin old kernel (boot). Then use the towelroot put Root. Then again in Odin to flash a kernel (boot) from the new firmware. All Root and Knox is 0x0 .

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
I understand that we are talking about the August update (firmware T535XXU1ANH6). So we need to download this firmware, such as this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=34321.

There in the middle of the page is a description of the firmware and instructions for the firmware using Odin.

Unpack this firmware and the firmware file to open the program WinRAR. You'll see all the components of the firmware. We need to extract from this firmware boot.img.. This is a new boot (kernel). The same necessary to do with the old firmware which root was installed with* towelroot. I then using the ImgToTar.MD5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 transform our boot.img into suitable for Odin boot.tar. MD5. See them do not mix. Now you can do a firmware update, either by air or through the Odin. After updating firmware with* Odin flash old boot. Install towelroot and supersu. Remove Knox (personally I delete). Then you can flash the new boot _ with Odin. That's all.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] flabbamann:
Hey, this worked. Thank you for your support. OTA was broken, so i did the update via odin.

I don't see any differences yet, besides some kid's mode, and the bloatware coming back. Lockscreen widgets are still gone/broken.
