Great news. Well, again, if someone could assist with the updater-script for this model, I have a stock rooted H1 ready to go, as I was able to do an adb pull for H1, without root, by enabling adb in developer options
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] BookCase:
I just wanted to confirm that your methods are flawless for TWRP recovery and I look forward to your ROM! I wish I could help with the updater script but, that's not my area. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] JCDinPGH:
Well now I have run into an issue. I was able to flash the D9 rom and recovery and boot into recovery and successfully backup using TWRP. This worked flawlessly but now somehow I am stuck in "odin mode". No matter what keystroke I enter on boot, it won't boot at all. I tried power+up+home and power+down+home which boots into a thin white line and then if you hit down, it says:

odin mode

Product name:SM-T230NU

Current binary: custom

system status: custom

I tried openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-degas.tar and also T230NUUEU0AND9_T230NUXAC0AND9_HOME.tar.md5 but odin just says "setup connection" but never goes any further. I only picked "Auto reboot" and "F reset time". I wasn't comfortable picking any other options.

Am I permanently bricked?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] agriff:
You are very likely NOT hard-bricked if the tablet boots in any way. Just re-flash the full ROM in Odin. While in Download mode, plug the phone and usb into your computer for a few minutes without opening the Odin program. The drivers might need to install again. Watch and see if that process is happening. You might also need to emergency flash via Kies.

We are all trying to find or create work-arounds here and, therefore this is not an exact science....yet. Sometimes you will just have to start from scratch until we all get it figured out.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] JCDinPGH:
I just tried Kies3 in every mode I could find or asks for a recovery code which I don't have. One mode says this device is not supported. I think the problem with odin and KIES3 not working is because the odin mode I am stuck in is not Samsung's. It is TWRP's odin mode. It doesn't look like the standard download mode screen and no matter what, there doesn't appear to be any way to boot into recovery mode either. There is only ODIN mode and I can't get odin or KIES3 to flash anything. I would gladly reset the entire device and start all over but it's not looking good so far.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] sub77:
disable or deinstall kies, odin wont flash with kies. check usb drivers.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] JCDinPGH:
I tried odin way before I even installed Kies. Neither worked. My guess is that because I'm in the TWRP odin mode as opposed to the standard download mode that comes with the untouched tablet, I need some special way to restore. Maybe a restore with a backup made from TWRP? At this point I am willing to try anything at all as nothing I am trying is working. The closest I have gotten is using odin but just says:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

but never progresses even though the tablet is in "odin" mode.

Sometimes it says "No pit partition" and immediately fails.

Is there a PIT ROM somewhere?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] ShinySide:
Twrp/recovery is completely different then download mode. You're in the wrong mode.

Power + volume up+home button = recovery

Power + volume down + home = download/odin mode
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] JCDinPGH:
I do appreciate all of the replies but the point I've been trying to make it the only mode that works is odin mode. No matter what button combinations I enter, I can only get it into odin mode.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] mrmazak:
Would you / could you post screenshots please. That will make it clearer as to what mode you are in.

Also I saw kies recovery was suggested, and from the response I read from you said, it would not pass the recovery code. In this tutorial it walks you through and says to ignore the code method.

Hello,

What is the current status of this recovery?

What works?

What doesn't?

Which one should be used?

Tgalal's (op) 2.7.1.0 version

Jokowi's 2.7.1.0 sm-t 231 version

Or

Agriff's 2.8.0.1 t-mobile (3g) version.

I have installed the op's version with Odin. But have not tried using it yet

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
Hi there are a few version of the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 that have no support for a custom recovery.

Source files have been found and are ready to be worked with.

The devices we would like to bring support to are the:

T330NU source file:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/UG28maH2ce/SM-T330NU_NA_KK_Opensource.html

T335K source file:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/9Y4qzw1zce/SM-T335K_KK_Opensource.html

T335L source file:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/nZ4xmfNgba/SM-T335L_KK_Opensource.html

T337a source file:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/21kf9dZYce/SM-T337A_NA_KK_Opensource.html

If ANYONE is willing or knows someone who could be willing to port a custom recovery to these devices it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass on the message and spread the word. If we all do work together we should be able to get this done.

There are many people who are willing to test the final work. Thanks in advance.

Oooookay...

I'm currently on H1 firmware. Got rooted it yesterday using a TWRP method that was mentioned in one of the posts in the other thread. The problem is, that the recovery I was told to install doesn't do anything, can't wipe caches, install zips etc.

My question is, will that 2.8.0.1 version provided on the official site of TWRP project work on my device with that firmware, or should I downgrade the firmware first? I want to add that the recovery I flashed stayed after a reboot.

I have the SM-T230NU, bought in the US.

I am assuming that since you guys are still arguing over the T231, means that there is no hope for a TWRP for the T237 (Sprint LTE version) anytime soon...?

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] ShinySide:
Okay let's take another approach because obviously you very sensitive or pms' n or something.

Let's go barney style.

1. I wasn't talking to you.

2. I wasn't even referring to you.

3. Person I was talking to was asking for a updated recovery, in which he used/intendeds to use this recovery because he has the correct device, so was pointing said user in the right direction to find an updated recovery, as he asked.

4. By "hence why this one stopped" was referring to why this one has not been getting updated.

5. If you read the OP, what's it say? Twrp for 230? Oh it does, not anything about rooting and getting recovery on 231, 235, 237s or any other tab 7.

So calm down and wipe your tears. Because no one was even talking to you, about you, or your version of the 23x.
