4.) put tablet on Recovery Mode, this time it would be modified recovery TWRP (Power Button+Volume Up+Home Button)

5.) reboot device, TWRP will detect that tablet is not rooted and ask if you want to intalls root. Slide to Install

6.) find SuperSU installer, follow instruction to install. *download from appstore*

7.) download RootChecker to verify root

*Just wait for odin to confirm flash success then immediately reboot to custom recovery (Power button+Volume up+Home button)*

Worked damned slick.

Booth Methods working on SM-T230

Ive try this Method and it works fine, many thanks.

I have an SM-T230 Germany, TWRP and Root is working. I have the newest Firmware from August on it.

The Method from the first Post works only with the Firmware from May, and you have to try it more then one time. I had to do it twice, than it was rootet.

Für die deutschen User hier.

Beide Methoden funktionieren beim SM-T230

Die erste mit dem chinesischen Tool nur mit der Firmware vom Mai, und man muß es u.U. mehrmals probieren. Ich brauchte zwei Versuche.

Die andere Version mit der TWRP Recovery funktioniert auch mit der aktuellsten Firmware vom August.

Hi, I just tried Kingo Root on my SM-230NU running Android 4.4.4 and nothing happened, tried Root check after but it confirms I am not rooted...

Then tried TWRP through ODIN and it passed, I'm rooted! Thanks for your help guyz
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
How are you running android 4.4.4 on your sm-t230nu.?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] DeLime:
typo, I'm running 4.4.2 like everyone else :silly:
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
Oh I thought there was an OTA update
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] nick_white:
After I root using TWRP, if I flash an official firmware through Odin, it will restore the stock recovery too.

So there will be no trace (T230 doesn't have Knox) that will determine losing the warranty. Is this correct?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Correct
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] krlox_rokr:

"Does anyone knows how to swap internal sdcard with external sdcard?"
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Change the path in the /system / etc/vold.fstab

Least use to be able to and would swap it
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MooseyRage:
Okay....dumb question time

Sorry if I'm missing something SUPER obvious. I flash in Odin, downloaded the .zip file and .tar file from the posted links. It says pass, but when I reboot to get to recovery, it it says

Android system recovery <3e>

KOTH49H.T230NUUEU0AMJ1

I select "reboot system now" and I see no TWRP prompt to install root. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Am I supposed to reset the device through a long-hold of the power key? or with the menu option in the recovery mode?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Uncheck auto reboot in odin. When twrp finishes, disconnect, hold power button til it shuts off, reboot DIRECTLY into recovery. If you reboot at all into the system, it's going to over write twrp with stock recovery, flash su then you'll be good
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MooseyRage:
Got it! Thanks! Full root access! :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
Hey does anyone know I can get stock recovery back because I want to install a software update. Please help!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Toneman07:
Sammobile usually has all stock firmware
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
Can I download the firmware and extract it to get the recovery image
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Toneman07:
Correct the stock recovery is located within the stock firmware. If you are attempting to go back to unrooted stock your better off using Odin to flash the stock firmware
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
I'm just trying to get the recovery image from the firmware
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Toneman07:
Yes you can pull it from the firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
Can you sent me a link because I can't find it in Sammobile

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
Thank you very much for the link
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
I did download the firmware and all I see is a md5 file can you sent the stock recovery image please?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Toneman07:
Change the name of file to end with .md5.rar win rar should then let you open the file and you can find your recovery image within
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Just delete md5 off the end, winrar or 7zip extract it
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
It says. Tar and I can't find MD5 extension

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] talk2nate:
Just letting folks know. I had a lot of trouble rooting with the odin method. I ended up getting the latest vroot 1.7.9 from their website, letting it root the tablet. Then I downloaded SuperSU from the market. Then flashing recovery via odin. It installed two or three Chinese apps on my tablet but I easily got rid of them afterwards. I was on an old firmware btw, like from May or something.

I'll be honest I blindly did the vroot thing. Didn't google or search the forums for how to's. Just saw lots of posts saying it worked. Maybe this will help somebody!

Hey guys I'm I'm trying it get stock recovery back on my SM-T230NU because I want system updates to continue to go on my device so can someone tell me if this process would work?

1. I download the latest version of firmware

3. I take the recovery image and put it on Odin

4. Then I flash it and get stock recovery.

Please let me know if this method would work please and thank you

Does this recovery work on a T230NU?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] xpriapism:
So everytime I go to the TWRP menu and try to reboot it gives me the option to root the first time, but then if I slide to root it powers off anyways. If I go back, then it doesnt give me the option again and I am not rooted (checked with root checker). So i flashed to stock recovery and tried again, same story. Am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Yeah you'll be good as long as you're a 230
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Chevan94:
Okay!

I'm happy to report, that TWRP 2.8.0.1 provided on a site works fawlessly on H1 firmware. Sticks after reboot, and so far there are no problems with it.

its a tab4 7.0 with digital tv

DTV is commom in tablets in my country (Brazil)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Well what the crap.

Anyways, yeah don't use these recoveries again... Bad news

You're gonna have to got to TWRP and have them build one for you. All us other 230 users don't have qualcomms as you luckily do.

My recovery mode was rewrited so i just cant factory reset anymore, when I try it shows the mentioned error. is there any possibility to get the stock recovery form someone that has the same device?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] paradiabol:
Hi,

why don't you flash stock ROM with ODIN. You'll get back everything from factory.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] pedrolaerte:
Ill google for it thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
You flashed TWRP recovery... Of course your recovery is going to be over written.

Can just factory reset in TWRP tho.

Or download stock tar, extract the recovery img and tar it and flash it with Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] zswielder:
So, I was reading through this thread, and I'd like to confirm a few things.

For those of you who rooted your tab 4 7.0, have you tried overclocking the CPU? Can it be done safely? If so, how is the performance? I know it uses a Marvell processor, and I've read mixed reviews, so I'd like to know. In fact, I actually haven't opened mine (T230NU). I got it really cheap ($90), but I've been wondering if I should get Tab 4 8.0 instead. ever since I found out that this ran on Marvell (sneaky Samsung!) But, then again, I don't use my tablet much, except when I travel, so maybe I'd be just wasting money when the Marvell processor will be enough for my use. I do want to be able to play games like Hearthstone (coming to Android tablet this December), but I just don't know how well this tablet will be able to run a game like that. Hmm...

Oh, and, if I do decide to go with this tablet, do I update it to KK first and then root? I see several different rooting methods in combination with before/after update throughout this thread, which is a bit confusing, so I want to be sure.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] troy5890:
The 7 inch version is awesome especially when playing psp emulator I'm playing dissidia 012 right now it is flawless. The only con to marvell is that custom rom development will be slow.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] cyberhern:

didnt for me jeez youre not to nice lol....i did all the required steps and when i repoot into recovery it went into android standard recovery and thats it....weird huh? :p
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Nope... You just didn't follow the instructions correctly... You rebooted into android before recovery. Reboot from download mode directly to recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MoEMuRk:
ok

ok thankyou bud ill take that info and give er another go i appreciate it....its just when i used odin to flash it completely restarted the phone back into the main program as in home screen....nothing else it didnt give me a chance to boot into recovery
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Either hold the key combo on reboot, or uncheck auto reboot flash TWRP, when flash is done hold the power button til it shuts off/reboots, and do the key combo.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MoEMuRk:
ok ty that worked well

after that im guessing i just reboot and do the swipe youre the man
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
Yep. You can boot back into android afterwards. And TWRP will stay for good now, unless of course you flash another recovery / revert to stock
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MoEMuRk:
thanks

hey thanks that worked you wouldnt possibly by any chance know where i can get a rom would u?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
I think there's a stockish rom in android development. Other than that none atm

I know this may be the wrong thread to say this in but the same root method works for the nabi 2 tablet also
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I got in a bootloop before. Its really easy to fix. Just find your version of your rom on sammobile, download it, and flash it with odin when your device is in download mode. Can you give me your model number/varient (wifi, lte, etc) and country? I could perhaps give you the link to the rom if You could give me that info. I am a galaxy tab s owner and bricked my tablet once but then restored a backup from twrp. So no worries.

Problem flashing recovery image

I have never rooted a tablet. I have a t230 model with t230xxu0ang2 firmware from 22 july. The problem I have is that when I try to flash recovery image odin remains stucked. What I should do, can someone help me with an advice. What options should I use in odin?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] _aura_:
You should not have to change anything in Odin except for unchecking the box for the auto reboot. That should be unchecked.

Follow the directions from earlier in the thread. Use the newest TWRP, too.

^^^^^ Do this. The link for the new TWRP is in that post. I can't post it since I'm new.

Yes, I used the latest twrp and odin 3.09, but odin do nothing, as if he doesn't recognize the image, then I've tried heimdall, but after a few errors I reinstall a driver. Now both of them can't recognize my tablet. What i'm doing wrong? Is my firmware faulty?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ShinySide:
.... You are putting the device into download mode right
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] georginhome:

Yes, I've flashed 2 firmwares from sammobile. Everythinhg fine, only with that twrp image I cannot do anything. There is another software, except odin and heimdall that can flash twrp image.

PS I've tried also all versions of odin since 3.04.

I found that I had to reset (Power+Home) *immediately* after Odin initiated a reboot, then hold buttons for recovery (Power+VolUp+Home) to keep the stock recovery from being immediately replaced. It takes a few times to get the timing right. In hindsight, I probably could have just unchecked the auto reboot in Odin. :)

Please Help a Newbie

Hey all,

I just want to say thank you for the information ya'll have provided here but I seem to have gotten stuck and cannot figure out what to do next.

I read posts upon posts and despite downloading Odin 3.09 and the TWRP file, I get stuck here. My TWRP I extract becomes a recovery.img file no matter what I try to do, could you please give me some insight? This is what I am looking at right now.

I'd really appreciate the help because I am so frustrated right now with my Galaxy Tab Nook because I literally have downloaded maybe 12-ish books & magazines and it already says: "system is running low on memory" I just need to root so I believe I can move my Nook app to the 32GB microSD in it and be able to download more. Otherwise I think I'll just smash/destroy my Tab because I've had enough crap from it.

Sorry to sound so pissy but I am active duty mil and when you just want to read something casually on/off watch and can't you tend to get a little frustrated.

Thank you!

Updated to the NF4 update on KIES. Rooted my phone with CF auto root everything worked fine. Then proceeded to flash CWM recovery touch. Now i am stuck in boot loop. I cannot get the phone to start in download Mode to odin the .MD5 or the stock recovery to get my phone to boot.

Phone starts.. says

RECOVERY BOOTING....

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

SET WARRANTY BIT : recovery

sits there for about 10 seconds,

then reboots.

Anyone know how i can get this thing back into download mode so i can ODIN the .MD5? Or did i just brick my phone.

Thanks for the reports on it working guys. What's bugging me is that no other app, and I have lots installed, has this problem so I'm reluctant to make any changes. Will clear caches but won't take it further than that, just wanted to try out the recent update!

Working perfectly for me. No hacks, patches, or mods and its worked on CM11S, Mahdi ROM, crDROID etc. with zero complications.

I believe you all that it's working. I've since cleared cache/data. It's not region related or a few of my other devices wouldn't be listed as compatible.

Would you like me to upload the .apk for you? I understand that you probably know how/where to download it directly, and that this thread is more of "Does anybody else have issues downloading Aviate?" type of deal, but on the off chance that you want it, I can do that for you :D
