The newest update to android(5.0.2) and hearthstone made a big difference. on default kernel settings just slight lag in animations

Slim LP F2FS m-kernel 1600/484 is very smooth compared to when HS first got released to Android.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mariocaraujo:
I installed this ROM(Slim-grouper-5.0.2.alpha.0.91-UNOFFICIAL-20141220-1511), and performance is really good overall.

But I installed trickster mod and can only change max GPU, if i change max CPU it goes back to 1300, what I need to do?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bleakreaper:
Hi i have installed freakslimrom and trickstermod can't stick my 1600 cpu setting only default 1300, so i installed rastapop 5.0.2_r1 f2fs version, m-kernal a73, and google apps minimal edition, default trikstermod have 1500 cpu. Its not as fast as freakslim but hearthstone is going really nice only small lags on loadings. If only gltools work it would be awsome.

Hello guys, with this guide you can restore Stock Firmware Images for all Galaxy Tab 4 Series.

This is useful to restore firmware in case something goes wrong, if you flash a custom ROM and it fails, or, for example, if Samsung decides to update this devices to Lollipop. For this you also will need stock untouched firmware.​

Pre-requisites:

1) Make a backup of everything you consider important: Apps, photos, music, etc.

2) Download drivers for your specific device from HERE, install the drivers and reboot your PC to apply changes.

3) Download Odin 3.0.9, it is attached below in this post, and extract it.

4) Download the firmware image for your specific device from HERE and extraxt the file inside, it should be a huge 1GB+ size *.tar.md5 file.

5) Make sure your device's battery is at 60% or more.

6) Enable USB Debugging on Settings > General > Developer Options (If you can't find Developer Options menu, go to Settings > General > About Device and tap several times on Build Number, then it will tell you Dev Options is enabled).

Lets start:

1) Run Odin 3.09 as Administrator (in Windows right click on Odin icon and select "Run as Administrator")

2) Turn off your tablet and now turn it on in Download Mode (press Home + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time until the tablet turns on, then when prompted, press Volume Up button to proceed)

3) Now connect your tablet to PC via USB cable. Odin should show a plugged device and an ADDED! message, like this:

If you can't get Odin to recognise your device, check which drivers you installed or try another USB cable.

4) Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are selected, like this:

5) Now check the AP option and press the AP button to find and select the firmware image (the *.tar.md5 file you extracted earlier), when you select the image, Odin will check if it has errors. If everything is OK, it should say it succesfully checked it, like this:

6) You are ready to rock, so, hit the START button and wait...

7) Go, watch TV, chat with friends, make a sandwich or play Chess with your cat.

8) Once completed, you will see the Pass! message in ID:COM section, with a green background. Your tablet should auto reboot automatically.

9) Unplug your tablet.

10) Enjoy all the bloatware once again!

Thanks for reading and if you have doubts, let us know in the comments.

Cheers!!!​
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Joelsmarias:
Thank You!

Thanks Man! Custom ROMS are fun but it sucks when something is not working right that which was working perfectly in the Stock ROM. Will wait patiently. hope Lollipop comes to SM-T230NU soon

I cannot for the life of me get my tab to stay in download mode while flashing.

Will restore of stock firmware overwrite custom recovery

Hi... just finally got my Tab 4 8.0 rooted by using custom recovery and special kernel. I love having root, but in the event i have to send the tablet in for any kind of warranty repair, i just want to know if simply ODIN flashing the stock 5.1.1 firmware will restore the stock recovery and reset my knox counter and stuff... Any details greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
It will definitely restore the stock recovery. Idk about resetting the flash counter, my instinct tells me no but that could be wrong. If worst comes to worst and you do have to send it in under warranty, tell them Kies broke it, that's worked for me and a few of my friends even with the knox counter tripped lmao. And if you want the quickest firmware file downloads, check out this thread. About a 5 minute download versus anywhere from 2-8 hours from any other host (seriously, it's awful).
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] bbwarfield:
How can I know when the flash is done?

Thank you for this helpful guide. I used this to upgrade my Samsung Tab 4 8.0 from 4.4.2 KitKat to Lollipop 5.1.1.

May I suggest, OP, adding a note on how to know when the flashing is over. I mistakenly thought that all the boxes on the top half (the row that begins with with a green "Pass" box) would all be colored. But the users should know that the flash is over when you see the green Pass box.

Please see my attached screenshot.

My Tab SM T531 stuck in a boot loop

My tab Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM T531 is stuck in a boot loop. I tried everything, hard reset, wiping cache and factory reset but nothing worked.

Boot into download mode (home, vol-, and power) and flash an Odin firmware for your device. You don't need USB debugging for that. See two posts above yours for links to the firmware file you'll need

Need Odin flashable firmware for AT&T T337a

Hi, I soft bricked my AT&T T337a. I can access the stock recovery and all functions there are operational. I have attempted to use the LP fix and that succeeds. However, after reboot, the tablet gets stuck at the AT&T logo. The tablet was successfully rooted using KINGO, so restoring via the 5.1.1. OTA update zip from an external drive is not available.

I'm guessing my only hope now is to flash an OEM 5.1.1. firmware with Odin? I am aware that I cannot downgrade this tablet from 5.1.1.

If the flashable firmware is not available, is there a way to convert the OTA zip file into something Odin would recognize? Or, any other suggestions?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] xjimmy:
http://xdaforums.com/tab-4/general/rooted-nk2-att-t377a-t2992639

This is where you want to download the boot (LP_fix).tar. file and the provided Odin. Run that, and your tablet will boot again. There's an article in the forums about this titled "temp root." It explains that if you root it, you can only softboot. I did the same stupid thing. After I ran the boot fix, knox was not tripped, but the custom logo was there and my batter life started to suck. The ota update in the firmware collection thread screwed my tablet, just fyi, so I hope you didn't go that route. I probably did something wrong there. Look, just bring it back to life, and if it's under warranty still then send it in...I won't tell you what to say...mine is official again. Not sure if you already found the fix because this is an older post, but I hope this helps.

Excellent sequence to restore the factory firm[bloat]ware

Just wanted to shoot off a quick thank you very much. This works great using the referenced stock firmware. To support those people that are having a hard time downloading the stock firmware I am placing a link to my googledrive for the next 30 days right here. This is a clean version and worked flawlessly. The only slight variation is that if you are not watching when the installation completes, you may not see the Pass! in the green box, it will be in the log window. It will also take a few minutes or so on the initial reboot at the AT&T screen before it goes to the like new language selection prompt. Enjoy the fast download while it lasts...

Hey guys,

I'm trying to help my brother to flash a stock rom on his Tab 4 8.0. It's having alot of weird boots. The unit hasn't been rooted before.

Again, this unit hasn't been unlocked/rooted/custom recovery before.

Thanks.

Samsung kies / smart switch (don't remember which one) has an emergency restore option.

Enter model and serial number, wait for it to verify device, wait, wait and wait some more.

Guys, I've been trying this method for some time with the intent to flash lollipop on my old SM-531 with 4.4.2, but the closest I got to success was making Odin detect my device with the system booted. It simply won't detect the tablet when it's in download mode, doesn't matter what I do.

EDIT: To be more precise, I think that my whole PC only detects the tablet with the rom booted, I suspect it might not be a problem related to Odin itself but to my PC.

I apologize in advance for the dumb question but: Is it plausible to try flashing the ROM with the tablet turned on and running the stock rom?

Anyone knows any alternative ways or workarounds to make it work? Like using twrp or something else. Help pls.

Thanks in advance!
