SM-T235 / SM-T235Y Tab 4 7" - ROOTED - TWRP Recovery 2.8.7 for SM-T235/235Y (LTE)

UPDATED 7/30/2015 with OFFICIAL TWRP 2.8.7 for Galaxy Tab 4.7.0 SM-T235(Y) DEVICES​

As with other TWRP's for newer Samsung devices, you need to uncheck auto-reboot and F.Reset time in Odin so you can manually shut down the device and boot into recovery the first time after flashing the custom recovery. If you don't boot into the custom recovery immediately after flashing it to the device, then the OS will overwrite it with the factory recovery and you'll need to start over.

DISCLAIMER :

While we all love to flash new things, You and You alone can choose or choose not to flash this custom recovery.

I am not liable for any of the following : Bricks, Soft Bricks, Meltdowns, loss of data, or damage to your device.
