[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
Hi i have recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and am looking into building a Deodex Rom for the device.

The issue is i have not been able to find anywhere on the forum a custom recovery of any kind for this device. I have tried a few versions for other devices such as the Tab3 8.0 and Tab4 7.0 but each time i could not boot into recovery, brought me back to download mode.

My main question and concern is lack of support for this device and i would like to start contributing.

Is there a CWM or TWRP for the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (T330NU)?

If not how can we get one started?

Really want to finish making my custom rom, have all my files Deodexed and ready to go.

UPDATE/EDIT OCT 22:

Source file has been found for this device. If we work together we should be able to FINALLY get a recovery for the Tab 4 8.0 T330nu. If anyone has any useful information or resources to help along the way please feel free to contribute.

SOURCE FOR GALAXY TAB 4 8.0 T330NU (DOWNLOAD USING GOOGLE CHROME ONLY)

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=T330nu

UPDATE/EDIT OCT 23:

Recovery should be in the making for the T330NU variant plus 2 or 3 other variants all in due time so please be patient and let us all work together.

Custom Roms could be on the new horizon to fallow you never know ?

UPDATE/EDIT OCT 26:

Boot.img and recovery.img files dumped from Galaxy Tab 4 8.0.

I was under the assumption that the source files come from open source.Samsung.com, of which all three Tab4 models are represented
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
So would this be the correct source for this device as fallows.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] smknutson:
I believe so, can you download that?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
I am downloading it as we speak. Only downloads with Google Chrome.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
Was my birthday today so been very busy. Hope to get this going
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
File opened somewhat
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
More pictures
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pre4speed:
Can you upload that somewhere and I'LL have my developer buddies look at it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
Yes I can upload it just give me a sec

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] smknutson:
Seeing as how our tablet has the Snapdragon 400 chipset, same as in some popular Motorola phones and the like, there is pre-existing development that could benefit us, not to mention the relative ease of Qualcomm developing.

Soon...

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
I'm just wondering tho it's a bit off topic but only for a brief moment. I have deodexed files I want to replace from the stock Samsung Rom.

My question is do you know any good programs for extracting and recompiling a stock Rom for recovery install after I have modded and replaced files?

Would prefer to compile the Rom on the computer and have the option to make changes and compile a Rom on the phone/tablet itself. As I said I know this is slightly off topic from the recovery but on the other hand after recovery comes the roms and tweaks. I have a file on standby to deodex stock Rom for t330nu.i have been doing research on programs and ways to do it just figured could get a quick tip or flash of insight.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
Edit:

Discovered "Tickle My Android" should help for the most part
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pre4speed:
Just want to check in. Still nothing for us yet. I don't want to push the guys since they are doing this purely as favors since they don't have the devices. I am keeping in touch with them however. Also I pmd [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] but haven't heard back there either. One of my buddy's is a friend of his and said he usually won't make a recovery for a device he doesn't have but if a recovery is made and proven working, he will make it official which means more support.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] MrHomebrew:
Greatly appreciated, I'm just trying to spread the word and maybe find some more developers willing to help also. Does not hurt to ask right.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] P1_e85:
Bump. Going to open up my new tab 4 8.0 tonight after work..

Got one today... We need ROMs!!!! :)

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pre4speed:
Do you have a build environment? PM me your Gmail and I'LL add you to our hangout.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] rsktkr1:
Hope something happens with recovery for this - went out and bought a winbook that I installed Linux on to play with something else until we get a recovery for my T330NU. I really like the Tab 8" but am disappointed in the development for this device. When I got my HTC M7 they already had recovery and roms available even before the device was released by HTC. At least I was able to root the Tab 8". Oh well let me know if I can help on anything.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] troy5890:
That's exactly how I feel about the samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 very little development. But at least people are trying
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pre4speed:
We are trying. Bootlooping so far but Rome wasn't built in a day.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] troy5890:
I understand
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] :
Leonidas87,

please post boot.img and recovery.img to a respectable sight?

devhost, androidfilehost, mediafire or mega will do
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pre4speed:
I believe he has gotten rid of the device. At least a week or so ago he said he got a tab s and was looking to sell his tab 4. I'll hit him up in our hangout.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] :
p4s,

oh, :(

still i'd like to get the images anyway. I don't have the tab 4 8 but still maybe i can get something started.

thanks. :good:

m
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] :
Does anyone else have the stock boot.img and recovery.img for this device?

I need it posted to a site such as devhost, androidfilehost, mediafire or mega.

I'm just not willing to go through what some sites demand in order to access

their downloads.

thanks.

Let it be known I now have a new device not this variant. I am going out of my way to still assist and have been.

All the best to everyone and Merry Christmas.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] :
Thank you kindly,

MOD edited

Okay now, can someone pull their /system/vendor directory from their device ?

gonna go git hopping but any help will help to move things along thanks.

m
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pre4speed:
What do you need? How do you want me to get it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] :
p4s,

hi,

if your are rooted, copy /system/vendor the entire directory, zip it and post it somewhere i can download it.

i know it would be better if i had the device but hey ! :laugh:

it's likely i will need the actual stock system.img but again, i'm not willing to do what some of these

sites demand to access their downloads. if you can get the system.img up on mega that would be great!

i'm running round1 as we speak. if you can download and run droid examiner and dalvik explorer and create for me

screenshots.zip of output concerning device hardware that would also be helpful as i am flying blind.

thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] :
p4s,

okay thanks, i'll need /system/vendor directory or the full system.img if you can do it.

you'll use the same approach you used to dump boot and recovery, then transfer the system.img to your pc and compress it

as .tar.gz. i'll download what you've posted in a little bit so you can keep your dropbox freed up. :good:

I can make a deodexed ROM but not port any recovery. Until recovery is provided, I will make deodexed ROM (Unbloated if possible). :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] gr8nole:
There are now 2 working recoveries for the T330 in the dev section.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Danny1976:
Was anyone able to deodexed this device? I was able to root it and install TWRP, but my device is still odex.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Try this tool out. I used it to deodex my tab 4 10.1" when there were no custom roms available. It seems to work well deodexing Samsung devices, I also used it to deodex my Galaxy S4 Active
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Danny1976:
If I am not changing themes, would it be beneficial to deodex my tab 4? What other benefits are there for deodex my tab 4?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Modding? I hardly ever use deodexed roms anyway. Most themes I make are inside the apk in which don't need to be deodexed. Up to you :p
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] mrdreamers:
did anyone find a trwp recovery for galaxy tab 4 8.0 sm-t330nu ?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Here third link down, in the OP. Why, is it not working for you?

Edit: Oops just saw that you were asking for twrp. I don't believe there is a working twrp for the T330NU, but I might be wrong. Is CWM not working for you?

Additional edit: Just remembered about this thread. At one point a dev was making builds for the 8 inch models, but support has long since been discontinued. I honestly couldn't tell you if it's working or not, but that CWM I linked to is a significantly more recent build. Up to you...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Serpent.king:
Can anyone show an unedited build prop setup whole thing for the t330nu after TWRP rejecting several flash files and a dirty unicorn Rom, well dirtying my device the build is changed. So after many lost attempts to go back to stock Rom and try the new lightnining Rom I'm trying to rewrite the build prop to the original state. My device also was changed from t330nu to just t330. Don't have a computer rn or I'd just Odin it. If anyone can suggest anything else I'm open to try before editing a file that could kill the tablet
[Moto 360] bloodiedwraith:
Didn't take long from the announcement for me to get the new OTA.

4.4W.2 Build KNX01S

http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-360-44w2-update-slowly-rolling-out-lightens-your-mood

I don't know if it's placebo effect but it definitely feels snappier than the previous one. It also fixed an issue both my friend and I had after the last update; rotating your wrist now actually turns on the watch on the first try.
[Moto 360] uh60james:
Waiting to charge to 80% to install mine, popped up as soon as I got home.
[Moto 360] ChrisNee1988:
Anyone know if resetting the watch/redownloading android wear app forces update like we thought it did with the last update?
[Moto 360] SupacatSF:
Just tried it. It worked for me last time but not this time. I guess I need to be more patient:)
[Moto 360] Mr Ian B:
Is the winning watch face on this update?

[Moto 360] Steve-x:
Shame there is no easy way to force an update.

I just got my new 360 today, software automatically updated- still not the new version, lol.

Showing the version as "Up to date"...
[Moto 360] corvyday:
My most awaited feature is that notification hiding with dismissal. Can't wait to receive the OTA.
[Moto 360] sWirL:
waiting patiently for the OTA too!
[Moto 360] alexdiaz:
Got the OTA this morning.

There's a new Play music button just above Settings.

Bluetooth devices menu in Settings, probabli in preparation for 2.0 headset support.

Notification hiding works ok. UI seems a bit smoother.

Rotating the wrist to wake also seems more sensible.

Can't comment on battery yet.

For those that are rooted, was root intact? and if not were you able to re-root after the update?

I performed a reset and the update was available. It was not available before reset.

Improved battery life is already very noticeable. I run stock faces.
[Moto 360] dukat0s:
Neither on HTC M8 4.4.4eu got the update.be patient my friends a few days and we all receive the update !
[Moto 360] 640k:
what does having L on your device have to do with a firmware update on your watch?
[Moto 360] kpjimmy:
No but I noticed sometimes when syncing with facer sometimes discos. But reconnects right away. Have you unpaired and paired again? If so, then how about a reset of the watch?
[Moto 360] GTiceman:
Thought about it and might end up doing that. Haven't tested enough to see if ti is a recurring problem yet.
[Moto 360] gsusx:
Got to be honest, I've found the watch to be a bit more buggy since this update. Checking the time by holding it up to me face isn't nearly as repsonsive as it was before :(
[Moto 360] 640k:
not only that, but i've been noticing lag more often than not. cards won't animate smoothly and sometimes the face is difficult to respond.
[Moto 360] Slorks:
is anyone having a problem with moving the arm but not lighting up to tell you the time? it was working fine but now it just decided to not work anymore. it only notifies me but when its idle and i move my arm to read the time, it doesnt light up i have to tap or push on the knob

frustrating

[Moto 360] smalltownbird:
I was having that problem. I switched to ambient mode and it killed battery but at least I could use the watch. I did a reset and repaired to my phone and I have had the watch off charge for 13 hours and I am at 33% with ambient still on.
[Moto 360] erikiksaz:
Probably reset time. The watch is ridiculously smooth now, and there's no hint of lag for me at all. Maybe you've installed a new app since the update that causes these slowdowns.
[Moto 360] Slorks:
Really? Cuz I tried that and even the ambient mode I can't get the watch to work. I impaired couple of times but still no luck.

Its frustrating because it was working extremely well without ambient mode for days before it decided to stop working.
[Moto 360] dressanderc:
You guys running lollipop, is the Hangouts photo quality issue resolved?
[Moto 360] gsusx:
just to confirm factory reset kicked the update in for me

I can confirm I just did a reset and checked in settings for update and is currently downloading I did try an hour ago the same way and nothing came up this time it did
[Moto 360] TigerCourage:
I like how they made the interface now
[Moto 360] Diamondback:
Resetting the watch worked for me aswell (Restarting phone/watch didn't). Downloading the update as I speak :)
[Moto 360] Dovigoldberger:
resetting worked for me too
[Moto 360] jjimenezjj:
Checked my 360 this morning. Nothing. Restarted my watch a couple hours ago and then checked. Nothing. Just reset my 360 and restarted my OnePlus One. Update received :D
[Moto 360] tlxxxsracer:
Received update. Watch is much more responsive to touch and smoother transitions.

The new play music app installed on watch will allow you to store music on the watch to listen via Bluetooth headset with no need for the phone to be nearby. I'm using the Android L play music app sidelined. I'm still on kit kat too
[Moto 360] bustanut666:
Will you only receive the update if your battery is above 80%?
[Moto 360] Cyphir:
Root was lost for me. Attempting to re-root now.

Root was easily re-obtained with the rooted boot.img
[Moto 360] ChrisNee1988:
No, I received it around 72% but had to charge it up to 80% to actually do the update.
[Moto 360] icelaglace:
Does anyone has this "issue" with the new OTA?

It keeps showing me the pop up : "Ok,google." EVERY SINGLE TIME I look at the watch.

This is extremely distracting and pops on the top on Retrograde watch face, makes it unreadable almost :(
[Moto 360] tlxxxsracer:
Not having that issue here
[Moto 360] Southern_mind:
I did a reboot and there it was.

Try saying OK, Google like 10 times
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
Anyone else get the feeling clicking on "System Updates" doesn't really check anything. I get the "system up to date" screen so fast I find it hard to believe it has communicated with the mother ship to really check.

It would also explain why resetting the watch actually works as during the setup process it does check for updates.
[Moto 360] freeza:
Resetting the watch did it for me
[Moto 360] mmx6688:
reset watch, reboot phone not work for me
[Moto 360] icelaglace:
Tried, like a lot of times - used voice actions, searched things on the web. (it used to show it once before the update then gone)

I have no idea why, I tried resetting the watch to factory default, rebooted it - nada.

Now I start to wonder if it's because of my Android Wear app on my phone or something :rolleyes:

- EDIT :

Not from the phone, factory reset for the 3rd time, still gives me this problem.

I really wanna revert back to previous version even tho it was slower. :(
[Moto 360] rock_80:
Nothing yet for me, havent tried device resetting.... doesnt seem worth it to loose all the step and heart rate history.

Forced the update by resetting the watch.. swipe down notifications for later is awesome!

And play music is integrated so we can save music to the watch and play through a headset!

I reset the watch 3 times. No luck. Over it. Patience my friends. Haha.
[Moto 360] Grand Prix:
When you say reset do you mean factory reset?

Why is the update so wonky when trying to manually update????? Seems a Lil much to have to reset the watch to pull the update
[Moto 360] krazyflipj:
Got my update a couple hours ago.
[Moto 360] hush66:
It isn't a new function. It's already an existing function but some are reporting that it's now easier to turn on the screen when you bring the watch up. In fact, the official change log does not list this improvement (http://motorola-blog.blogspot.sg/2014/10/the-download-its-time-for-moto-360.html?linkId=10137380).
[Moto 360] erikiksaz:
Oye, I was hoping they tightened up the wrist twist feature. My G watch required a very distinct wrist flip, which kept it off unless I needed it. That would keep it from accidentally turning on, especially when driving.

Link on reddit that shows you how to get the immediate update:

keep an eye on the plastic on the back of your watch. pebble has a high impact rate on our watches. lots of cracked backs.
