for some reason this failed tried twice......I am on AT$T SM-T337 NK2 any suggestions? Edit: never mind didn't follow the instructions very well. ...followed now I am rooted and installing my rooted apps. ..freezing the bloated. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
Are you able to reboot, and can you change selinux to permissive? The selinuxmodechanger app says it worked, but doesn't actually change anything. Neither does the command line app.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
I can get root with Kingsroot, but selinux won't go to permissive. And flashfire doesn't see root and mobileODIN won't work either. I'm stuck as far as selinux. Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
ANyone have advice for a Lollipop T337A that is stuck at the AT&T Logo? It's having trouble starting up the audio service and won't finish boot. If I could get su back on there, I might be able to fix it, but I can't boot it with root. Only root method (Kindsroot) has to be disabled (via the boot.img in this thread) to get passed the AT&T lock crap. Now I have no SU to fix the problem (something trying to install Viper must have done). I have ADB and can get logs if anyone wants to see. Advice and tricks of any kind welcome! Anyone know any experts on this thing?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] tbird57:
anyone know how to unroot so I can return back to store

need the stock firmware T337A

That thread has the firmware, and I have a copy. Problem is that you can't flash KK over LL. If you find a way, let me know.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] tbird57:
I am still on KK. Would like to flash the stock KK
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
Did you click the link?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] tbird57:
Yes, the only firmware d/l i saw was for LL.

Edit: I found it. ;) uudruid74 thxs for the spoon-feeding sir ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] tbird57:
I would love to upgrade to LL but, I don't want to loose root, eventually KK will have way too many FC's giving me no choice in the matter. .? Unless someone can come up with an exploit ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
Kingsroot works. If you have an AT&T device you can't reboot without flashing boot image (and then rooting again after you boot) which prevents you from turning off selinux. I couldn't get Viper to work as all work arounds still deal with bypassing selinux.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Klown80:
I also used Kingroot to root my SM-T337A on 5.1.1 and ended up soft bricked after I rebooted. I found this info in this thread about the LP fix boot.img that was able to bring most of your devices back to life, I'm not so lucky unfortunately. I used Kingroot then used Supersume Pro to swap out kingroot for supersu, I had no issues with using root but later I tried a reboot and ended up soft bricked. I tried the LP fix boot.img from the OP and that got rid of the red "kernel is not SE enforcing" and the "unauthorized software detected, please power off and take to Att center" but now I am stuck at the At&T screen on boot. It starts with the Samsung Tab 4 screen, then shows the Samsung screen, then freezes on the ATT screen. Any ideas?

I tried wiping cache and factory reset in stock recovery but that doesnt seem to help. I even tried flashing the 5.1.1 update.zip via recovery but I get error 7 "system/bin DD.exe has unexpected contents."
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
Cool. Now I know what change I did to cause that. We did exactly the same thing and got the same results! I wasn't sure which change caused the problem, but I can't get ODIN to let me reflash KitKat. It won't downgrade. I got the system image open on my Linux box and am looking for the flag that tells it version is 1 and not 2.

I found some other stuff too (looks like keys for recovery signing but in wrong format ... anyone want to have a look?).

So ... don't try to escalate root. Ideally, we need to get a new bootloader flashed. How to do it, or do we just break down and get a jtag?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] tbird57:
This is the reason why I am not takin that plunge with LP kingroot
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
Its not Kingsroot at fault, but rather trying to "upgrade" the partial root you get. It's really the bootloader at fault. I can also day that Lollipop is faster than KK, and this GalaxyTab already feels like a boat anchor compared to my phone.

So ... if not trying to install Viper, this isn't a bad solution. But it would seem KitKat is needed for full root.

Anyone know where this version number is that prevents a downgrade? If I can find that, I'll likely to be able to do whatever I want since it doesn't look like ODIN requires signed files.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] tbird57:
I just picked this tablet up 4days ago, with the KK root my battery life is awesome. ...using greenify and titanium backup together, gives me a lot more battery. ...I am sure LP would be great. ...but I don't want to loose greenify and titanium which helps on the bloat
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
Titanium pissed me off, I use Backup+.

Greenify and the like I've not had positive experiences with. I just disabled apps I didn't use with FX File Manager (Kingsroot gave it root) and was getting at least 10 hours SOT with pretty heavy use. Remember Lollipop's ART is more efficient than KitKat's Dalvik.

If I can find where the version is in this system image, I think I can flash what I want. Maybe I'll try copying the update.zip into the image to see if I can make a flashable Lollipop and then it won't be a downgrade. Maybe this weekend.

[MENTION=5880917]uudruid74[/MENTION] [MENTION=5654965]CocaFoca[/MENTION] [MENTION=4481371]C64assembly[/MENTION] I had the wife take my tablet into Best Buy today while I was working, they went through the normal, boot to recovery and fact reset and such and none of it worked of course so then he flashed a file (My guess is a 5.1.1 odin flashable file) I wish I had went with her but I doubt he would have given me the file anyways (wishful thinking lol).

Anyhow, all is working again! Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] tbird57:
Are you rooted w/LP?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
What did they charge you and was it under warranty? Did you buy it there?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Klown80:
No, they did not charge me anything. It wasn't under warranty as far as I know, I bought it used on craigslist about 5 months ago(couldn't pass up this tab for $80, even with a locked BL lol). Just to note - before he fixed it, when I booted into download mode it still showed knox 0x0, and the binary and the other thing it lists both showed official if any of that mattered. Binary did say custom after the whole kingroot/supersu fiasco, but flashing the LP fix boot tar put it back to official thank goodness!

She says he checked in recovery for a factory reset then she says he did something to where it said "Unauthorized software detected, please power off and take to ATT center" or whatever it says again, then she says he booted into download mode and she watched the tablet as he flashed whatever to it (I assume he has a full 5.1.1 odin firmware file). She just told him that "she got a notification for an update to android 5.1.1 or whatever it was and she hit ok, then tablet rebooted and went to a weird screen she had never seen before (stock recovery) and then shortly after that it rebooted again and only booted to the att logo then would freeze" He tried a few things then said the tablet battery must of died while the update was downloading causing this problem, lol. Nonetheless, I appreciate him getting her tablet back running again. I've been in hot water with the missus for about a week now because of it! Thank you Best buy guy! :P
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
I was gonna tell em I got.it for Xmas and did the upgrade not knowing about the tornado ... gonna tell him I had it plugged in during the upgrade like a good boy so the battery wouldn't die and now the charger is smoke and it won't boot. Nice lie :)

Is this the right Odin file?

Someone mentioned they could use the Odin file for 5.1.1 Tab 4. I have a zip in my Tab 4 labeled Odin 307. Is what you needed?

Sorry I couldn't embed it, I don't have the required posts to do that.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
Thats just ODIN for the PC, and an older version. I think they want the ROM. If someone rooted were willing to make an image of their 5.1.1, I would try flashing it.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] fearyahweh:
Are there still no custom roms that will work for this tablet.

I have tried this and had to restore the tablet using the LP boot.tar file. This leaves me still stuck with the ATT rom. Has anyone got a cutom rom for this tablet that actually works with
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] uudruid74:
You can get all the ROMs you want, but the bootloader won't boot it. It's locked. Wish I knew a way around it, but if it's AT&T, you are likely SOL.

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mic81784:
Thought I should post here to help out. It seems after reading the whole thread that some of you have been trying to root, and are soft-bricking your device. I was able to successfully root using Kingroot. I seem to lose the root after rebooting, but am successful re-rooting after each reboot. If I can supply any info from my tablet, I wouldn't mind helping out. If I was reading correctly, nobody else was able to do this without soft-bricking?

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] bob24260:
Is there a lollipop Odin package?I soft bricked and rebooted with your fix and once rebooted I removed superuser and turned tablet off for the night.When I tried to reboot it won't go past the ATT symbol.I've tried factory resetting via recovery and wiping cache in recovery but still no go.Since I can't downgrade is there any Odin lollipop packages?I have a stock update package which can be flashed via recovery but it fails since I think I left busybox in system xbin.Suggestions? I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Unfortunately no. For some stupid unknown reason it seems AT&T and Sprint don't release the Odin firmware files when they update the android version for their devices
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] bob24260:
What I was thinking is if I can find a decent tutorial on how to make Odin packages,I could take the lollipop update.zip I have and make an Odin flashable of the system itself.We used to do that in the "old days" but I'm not even sure if its possible anymore.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I wanted to do that myself but I don't have the actual device so I can't make a system dump or anything. I too have a copy of the lollipop update.zip but I don't really know how to combine the patch files (filename.p) with the regular apk files and such. I've looked everywhere I can think of and just can't seem to find how to turn the contents of an OTA zip into a system.img to pack into Odin tar files. It's really easy to put img files into tar.md5 archives, but I can't get to that step yet
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] bob24260:
I'm willing to lend a hand whenever you have time if you're even so inclined.I haven't hooked it to adb yet but I'm sure we could get something going.I feel bad because I bought it for my daughter and then promptly soft bricked.And believe me,its no fun living with an angry pre teen girl :laugh:

*** WARNING *** This doesn't work with the lolipop update. I have tried to downgrade my tablet and it did softbrick it. Do not try to downgrade your tablet/try this method if you are running lolipop 5.1.1. This only works on kitkat. HOWEVER. I have the lolipop boot.tar. Use the instructions above to unbrick your tablet (This will not give you root access. I'm going to look at it and see if I can figure something out to get root access). I have not tested this myself because mine is at a friends house BUT this should work. Cheers[/QUOTE]

I have read this notice and Android 5,1,1 did boot. The tablet is no longer activated. Help me please
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] CocaFoca:
Does anyone have a booting table with 5.1.1? I may be wrong, but if we can use the program "Samsung Smart Switch" we can grab the odin files from the program by restoring the device? It's been about 6 months and I have nothing. Is anyone willing to give it a shot? I have no idea where the files would save to. Again, if I'm wrong please tell me.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MichaelSaya:
That won't work because Smart Switch does not have the firmware files for this tablet. I have the same problem. You can actually use the emergency firmware upgrade on Smart Switch with this bricked Tab, but after you enter your model number and serial number, it closes out and will not let you restore it. I just bought the unlocked T-Mobile version of this Tab, I'm giving up trying to fix this.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] skibby1369:
Excellent post, I 'am just confronting only one problem, everything went great on my pc with ODIN as I fallowed by your instructions the only thing is the my tablet keep booting on recovery mode , please how can i get it out from recovery mode, and thanks ahead.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MichaelSaya:
If your on lollipop then your screwed because this post specifically said it does not work with lollipop and there is no factory images other than boot.img. I was able to pull the system dump from my device and tried creating the system.img.ext4 image but it fails in odin. This is over my head anyway. If there are any experienced devs that are willing to have me send them the system dump then just maybe we can get the proper system.img.ext4 to flash but I'm afraid it's a lost cause.

Latest Lolipop 5.1.1 works perfectly with KingRoot app that you download from their site. No pc needed. Just have to re-root after reboot if you need root again...only takes a minute.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] xjimmy:
"No pc needed," so you still don't get error on reboot, causing softbrick, thus needing to flash boot(LP fix).tar, and then re-root?

Edit: I just tried it, and my tablet rebooted without a problem. No custom lock if done on pc, not softbrick, but sadly, no root. You are right that it is easy to re-root, so not too bad of a setup. I do wish someone smarter than me could just fix it on reboot. lol. Thanks for your post.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] xjimmy:
I have no idea how I did it, but I had permanent root with kingroot on 5.1.1 boh4. I messed with things, causing softbrick and reflash of stock firmware. I have not been able to figure out how I had permanent root or achieve it again. I am, however, able to use Replace_Kinguser_with_SuperSU-v2.4 in terminal emulator after rooting with kingroot. It will replace kingroot with supersu, but you have to preinstall a power menu for root users, so after you flash the zip in terminal emulater, you can soft reboot before the kingroot fail alerts start popping up. after soft reboot, the errors will not come back. DO NOT update su binary or you will hang at at&t logo even after soft reboot. Is there anyone out there that can help us who have 5.1.1 boh4 t337a's to gain permanent root? I know it's possible because somehow I had it. I just wish I would've tried this replace with supersu method when I had it...

OP worked like a charm

Thanks CocaFoca for a straightforward, detailed enough and repeatable operation!

I followed the OP to the letter and was able to gain permanent root on AT&T issued SM-337A w/ NK2 4.4.2 Jun 10, 2014.

I loaded Ti/Bup and deleted much obvious bloat, including KNOX notification manager (so it quit notifying me there was nefarious hacking going on - cuz I know, right?).

Now for a few questions...

-When booting up, it has always shown a system notification in the middle of the screen: "Attention (SIM not provisioned MM#2)". Annoying, but click "OK" and it goes away - what is this?

-Would like to change the splash screen to something more...me. The AT&T screen isn't me. I'll comb the threads here, but if anyone is of notion, please chime in.

This unit now sits in the "TV Chair" console for ready use to investigate whatever strikes me on the net and I've loaded some apps to make relaxing in front of the tube more...informed.

I appreciate the XDA community and wanted to take this moment, when I actually had something to add, to say so.

Kudos for all the help!
