Dare ...

CHALLANGE:

I'll dare every T235 owner to match a $50 donation I'm committing in here to make to the first dev who comes up with a viable root solution for the SM-T235!

Not even asking for a recovery as part of the offer, just a root solution. I'm certain we'll see recovery's popping up shortly after there's a root available.

TTB :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x92:
Support! maybe create a bounty or something so that user can chip in. if the donation is big enough, we can buy a T235 device for the developers that contribute a lot. I hope there will be many custom roms and custom kernels around. I wanted to have voodoo/boeffla sound for T235.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
If im correct cfautoroot uses a modified recovery and cache.img. You would need to unpack it and do some changes to both in which I do not know.

How about making a prerooted firmware? By adding some of the root stuff into the firmware and flash with odin. Idk
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopTongueBarry:
For this model, I suspect we'll need to add the su binary, BusyBox, and SuperSU to the system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img from the factory ROM, then repack.

I'm hoping to be able to take apart the NE8 Factory ROM from 5/22/2014 using ODIN 3 ROM editor and add the root files, then attempt to flash using odin.

Was going to use Archi Kitchen, but since there's no root or custom recovery for the SM-T235 yet, there's no way to flash the modified factory rom as a zip file.

At the end of this operation, I'll either have a bricked or a rooted SM-T235. Everyone please pray, cross your fingers, toes, eye-balls, etc.. If successfully rooted, I'll post a d/l link to the modified ROM, however, if my device gets bricked in the process, I'll have a loaded handgun close by to make myself a brick too.

Used Krusader and Odin_3_ROM_Editor to:

Add the SU binary to system.img in /system/bin

Add the Superuser.apk to system.img in /system/app

Add busybox to the system.img in /system/app

Followed the instructions in the Odin_3_ROM_Editor thread to repack supplying the proper partition size.

Flashed using Odin 3.09

Completes flashing in Odin successfully,

Reset

The SM-T235 boots up to the animated Samsung logo and that's as far as it gets. never really hangs, but the animation continues endlessly.

After reflashing with the factory NE8 image, the device fails to connect to the mobile network. WiFi connectivity seems to work fine.

Anyone got suggestions, for

a). why the device sits at the Samsung animation logo after flashing the rooted factory image.

b). why the device cannot connect to a mobile network after reflashing with the factory rom.

TTB :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
No idea. Since I own a tab s(not tab 4), someone flashed the wrong cfautoroot but still got root. So he dumped his system.img and boot.img and I turned it into an odin flashable including stock firmware stuff. Flashed and didnt go past samsung logo. Idk why.

As for B. You probably have to re add your apn settings again?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopTongueBarry:
Mobile Data started working after a second restart.

I think a potential reason for the troubles may be that I skipped the part in the instructions for Odin_3_ROM_Editor to set up init.d and the SUdaemon.

I thought the presence of SU in /system/bin would be enough, and I recall something about setting up the init.d and SUdaemon not being necessary.

I hope a more experienced Dev here will chime in on this. .

If I don't get feedback here to help guide me, then my next step will be to attempt the factory ROM edit again from scratch, this time following the instruction video for Odin_3_ROM Editor explicitly, meaning I'll do the /etc/init.d and the sudaemon stuff for superuser.

One thing I don't understand is Samsung's use of jack. Seems /system/xbin is reserved solely for that use, that's why I put su into /system/bin

TTB :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I'm the exact opposite of an expert but don't you have to put the busybox binary into /system/xbin ?

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Also (since I'm butting in) are permissions involved and if so are you setting them correctly?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopTongueBarry:
RE: Permissions

Yes I double checked everything. Permissions set correctly.

RE: BusyBox binary

If its supposed to go in /system/xbin then maybe that's my mistake.

ODIN_3_ROM_Editor video showed it going into /system/app

Maybe I made a mistake?

I don't think that alone would cause the boot to sit at the animation logo screen indefinitely.

I'm thinking it has to do with the SU daemon and /etc/init.d stuff they showed in the video, but like I mentioned before I recall that simply putting su in /system/bin or /system/xbin was sufficient.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
If I am correct, "As is standard (and done by the attached ZIP), normal is to use /system/app/Superuser.apk for the apk and /system/xbin/su for the binary." Not sure if that will help. Can you link me to the video?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopTongueBarry:
SM-T235 (LTE) ROOTED - TWRP 2.8 (ALPHA1) for the SM-T235 (LTE)

You read it correctly, Yes I have finally rooted my SM-T235. After fiddling with the NE8 factory ROM for a few days in Odin3_ROM_Editor, and creating three rooted factory ROMs that failed to boot past the animated logo, I decided to take a different approach.

I have created a working TWRP recovery for the SM-T235 (LTE) based on the TWRP 2.8.1 Recovery for the S5 Mini LTE. I'll post credits to the creators of that recovery when I post the D/L links for the SM-T235 recovery files. I'm not sure whether I should post them in this thread, or create a new thread with an OP containing specific installation and rooting instructions..

The reason I am not posting the D/L links now is because this TWRP recovery is presently in ALPHA state. The swipe to install SuperSU is not working yet, however the work-around is to place ChainFIre's UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip on your external SD storage prior to flashing the TWRP recovery so it is handy the first time you boot into the custom recovery after flashing. You can use the install button in TWRP to flash that file completing the rooting process.

As with most other TWRP's for newer Samsung devices, you also need to uncheck auto-reboot and F.Reset time in Odin so you can manually shut down the device and boot into recovery the first time after flashing the custom recovery.

As with the other Tab 4 recovery's, If you don't boot into the custom recovery immediately after flashing it to the device, then the OS will overwrite it with the factory recovery and you'll need to start over.

Finally, I'm not sure what works and what doesn't work on this TWRP alpha1 , but I do know if flashes successfully using Odin 1.35 (have not tested flashing it using Odin 3.09 yet) AND

even more important, it facilitates successful rooting of the SM-T235 using TWRP's install zip file feature. NO, I have not tested backups yet, however considering the swipe to install root isn't working yet, I don't hold high hopes of the backup feature working properly yet either.

I plan on posting alpha1 (or 2) D/L links tonight after work. Right now, I need some shut eye.

TTB :)

P.S. If you are planning to test this recovery out, you should plan ahead and get Odin 1.35 onto your PC, and the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip archive onto your external SD card so you will be prepared when I post the D/L link.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
First off congrats, well done. I'm pretty sure everyone with a T235 is going to love you lol. Along those lines, definitely start your own thread. People have been begging for root for this device, even if the recovery doesn't function completely, if you can obtain root, definitely share with people searching for the answer. That said, in your installation/rooting instructions be as clear and concise as possible. A recurring lesson on xda is (as a general rule, not trying to attack anyone) assuming any foreknowledge on someone(s) else's part inevitably leads to headaches. Clearly state what's working, what doesn't, and the EXACT instructions someone should follow.

Again well done, I'm impressed, and it's always a good thing to bring root to new devices

Since day two of owning this tablet, I have noticed that on rare occasions, the back, menu and home buttons become non-responsive to touch. Neither do they illuminate. All the while, the screen works fine. The only way ive found to restore the function of these buttons, is to restart the device. I wondered whether anyone else has been experiencing this issue.

Quick questions.

I like to remove the activity arrows that are displayed next to my WiFi signal icon. They seem to overlap the AOSP icon. Gravitybox has an option to draw the little arrows inside the indicator, but I can't seem to remove the Sony arrows.

Also, I would like my WiFi icon to turn orange when I'm connected to a router but not to the internet. There is a setting to do that using songs stock icon, but not AOSP. Its just gray. Is it possible to edit it?

Any ideas? Just OCD with design ATM.

You can use an xposed app "systemui icons" and change the somc_sys_wifi_in.png, somc_sys_wifi_inout.png, somc_sys_wifi_out.png to blank icon.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
Or do it the way it's supposed to be done. Decompile the app, do what you want and recompile it back. Use advanced apk tool for that. If you're running stock rom then superuser mod is a must.

You want to mod "SystemUI.apk" that you'll find in /system/app or /system/priv-app

[Verizon LG G3] solidage:
So my work enforces a password on my phone, which I'm ok with. But my G3 has a second lock screen when the phone goes idle and it's annoying as hell.

How I want it to work:

On my old Galaxy S4, If my phone went idle for 30 seconds the screen went off. If i pressed the lock button on the phone up before 4 minutes had passed it would take me right into the phone.

How it currently works:

On my G3 it shows this lock screen when I wake up my screen (when the security pin has not kicked in). It looks like this:

after 5 minutes though it asks for my security pin:

How do i disable this lock screen? and just have the phone lock automatically after 4 minutes?
[Verizon LG G3] kthung:
Unfortunately I'm not aware of anyway to do what you're asking built in. If you are using a knock code as your password. You can just type in your knock code while the screen is off and it will take you right to your home screen skipping the non-password "lock" screen.

When I had my G2, I had a Poetic slim hard case and I had a Reiko horizontal case, this Reiko case. The horizontal case was made for the S4 but it fit the G2 fine. Now I have a G3 and the fit is kind of tight. If I add another slim hard case, I don't know if it will still fit in the horizontal case anymore.

Anyone seen a similar case like the Reiko case that I have pictured here for maybe a note 3 or S5? I like the split down the middle too, makes it easier to take the phone out.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamonkey:
I dont think im going to be very helpful but here goes. I own the G2 and my wife the moto X and strangly enough we would NOT trade each other. To put it bluntly they are both very great phones and performance wise youll "feel" about the same on each device. I have the bigger screen but i have bigger hands..hence my wife thinks my screen is too big. The X does feel a bit more "i could drop this...and not break it" and moto maker is pretty cool i have to say. However I have to say the native knock on is really nice and if you look around at some xposed modules you can get some pretty neat notification features that, while not exactly the same, give you a bit of the 'active notifications' feature the X has.

Stock wise the X will always get updates quicker than the G2...LG has a reputation for being slow on updates but did pretty well getting KitKat out this time around.

Non-Stock *Like i am* is a mixed bag. you will lose some of the lg features "like split view, the spiffy lockscreen, and some other LG features that admititdly are pretty nice. I found myself not using them that much after about 2 months and started missing that AOSP charm i was used to on my previous phones. Took the dive to Mahdi a couple weeks back, have loaded the following xposed modules as a must on top of Mahdi Rom "ACdisplay, gravity Box, Tinted Status Bar, Xtended NavBar" and wow i feel like i have everything i ACTUALLY need without the bulk.

But i still pick up my wifes X sometimes, stock, non rooted and go "hmm.. good job motorola, still feels good"

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamonkey:
I feel like i may be unfairly baised answering that one :D BUT i can say the G2 has a much bigger battery than the X but thats also to support a higher resolution/ bigger screen. THAT out of the way though when I am just idling i get AMAZING battery life on mine. A couple days ago after sleeping for 8 hours I awoke to find that i had lost 0% percent :eek:

My wife on the other hand it seems a mixed bag on the X. In the beggining she seemed to be getting great battery life but in the last month it seems to drain way to quickly. Im not sure if thats her doing or something on the device side *She made me promise not to touch her android experience on this device..she likes it as is*

I dont like making this comparison because when i told the wife this she glared at me.. Some people like to say "The iphone just works", and a majority of the time i can understand where they are coming from seeing all these different android devices. Ever since the X came out and I hear a die hard apple fan say that quote i stop them right there and say "Pick up a moto X and use it.. It just works..your arguement is now invalid".

The G2 is like having a Nexus 5 that was given a steroid treatment. Which is awesome but can get in the way sometimes as stock. Its why i went to AOSP after awhile. I realized i didnt need all that bulk after awhile :)
