OA1 kernel

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab4 10.1 SM-T530 build KOT49H.T530XXU1AOA1

I would like to root it but I can't find the OA1 kernel as in step 7 of the guide:

Instructions :

1-This process WON'T wipe your data, but backup your phone just in case this process corrupt your data.

2-Download then unzip your phone kernel files.

3-Flash Model_ROOT_Kernel.tar.md5 file using odin3 in PDA or AP section.

4-Make sure Re-Partition is NOT selected.

5-After your device boot up

6-Root your device using TowelRoot method by following this guide : [1-Click Root] Galaxy S4/S5/Note 3 Using TowelRoot Method

Make sure your phone is rooted ...

7-Flash back the specific kernel for your phone build number using Odin3 in PDA or AP section.

Can PLEASE someone link it or send me?

Thanx

Really confused..

Hi guys, I am wanting to root my SMT530, however I am confused as to what builds will trip knox (Ideally I do not want to..)

My device is currently running "T530XXU1ANH7" If someone could please help me out as to 1 - Whether it's possible? (from what I can see it is) and 2 - Via what method? (CF Auto Root / Towelroot etc)

Many thanks!

In the warranty is not written anywhere that the counter Knox 0x1 waiver of warranty
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Tim-2.0:
I am not worried about my warranty, my concern is regarding resale value - In case I want to sell it. Ideally I would like the device to appear as clean as possible that's all ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
In this case you need Towelroot .
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] headphones1:
I can confirm, towelroot was the only thing that did not trip it. Thank you.

OA2 kernel

1) I just bought a SM-T530NU, and shows that it has an OA2 kernel. Will the OA1 kernel work with it?

2) Do I need to install both the OAx and ROOT kernels?

3) How can I tell what processor is in the device? (It is the GT4 nook version sold at Barnes & Noble.)

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
For what purpose do you want to get Root? I can learn?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Tomcat23:
this build?

I'm wanting to root mine, and I have an SM T530NU build KOT49H.T530NUOVU1ANK3, but I'm not seeing any specific instructions for this build anywhere. Should I just follow this procedure with this build, or as there files out there I need to hunt down?

I really want this to go smoothly, and I've been searching through threads here. I think my main goal is not to trip knox, but I'll want to run custom roms eventually. I just got this Tab 4, and really like it, but it's my first big android tablet.

I'd appreciate any advice.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
Hi , if you want to have Custom ROM you will need Custom Recovery . When you install custom recovery knox counter will be 0x1 . You afraid this ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Tomcat23:
Yes, I'm aware of knox. I'm just wondering if the specific kernel build I have is supported under this method.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
method of replacement kernels with Odin and Towelroot is avialable for all Tab 4 10" & 8" , excluding locked bootloader
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ermal77:
What do you mean by point 10?????????????

(Flash back the specific kernel for your tablet build number using Odin3 in PDA or AP section.)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
On the website ctrl+f t530nu. I'm talking about the file linked to as ROOT. That is an older kernel file, you flash it in Odin and then root the tablet using towelroot. Once it's rooted you go back to the normal kernel. The download link will be the same firmware number that you started on when trying this, so on that site download NK1 if you're on NK1 or OA2 if you're on OA2
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ermal77:
Thanks again and sorry for my other question!

what do i have to do once i rooted my tab 4 sm-t530??

i didn't understandt the point 10

do I have to go back to my previous OS or what??

thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I'm really at a loss to understand what the difficulty is. Once you have rooted with towelroot, you flash the kernel file for your build. It'll look something like T530_NH7_Kernel.tar.md5 or T530NU_OA2_Kernel.tar.md5. Are you asking me what a kernel is?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ermal77:
Thanks for your answer!

where can i find that kernel?!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Here scroll to the bottom of the table, take one that corresponds to your model number. That site also has detailed directions, read them carefully to make sure you understand
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] torreon901:
Worked great!!! thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
They added all the old builds for the T530 back up to the website and even an OD8 (lollipop) file so I'm pretty sure those of you with the T530 on lollipop can still use this method to root now
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] GHMTQD:
Hey, so, I'm on OA2, and after I run the tar in Odin, it appears it succeeds and the tablet resets, but Towelroot simply says "this phone isn't currently supported"

Any idea, anyone get it to work on OA2, any suggestions on changing parameters in towelroot?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
You're doing it wrong. You have to flash the one called root kernel through Odin first, boot back up and run towelroot. Then power down, flash the one called OA2 kernel, boot back up again and then run SuperSU
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] GHMTQD:
Oh goodness how embarrassing. I thought, oh yeah I've done this before, no problem. Thanks so much for your work and for the quick response, too, I would've stayed up late racking my brain about this.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] paarkhi:
Thanks I was also doing the same mistake
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ekahy:
Whats the difference between Towelroot, towelroot v2 and towelroot offline v3 ? thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Rovers82517:
Im making the same mistake, where are the links please, where is the 'root' file and the one to flash afterwards please?

where is the root kernel file?

ah i see, the link is the word ROOT, not very clear or explained well but got there in the end haha
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Equals_Android:
hey, does anyone know how to unroot? I clicked unroot in supersu but in about device status, it still says its custom. So how do i fully unroot? Do i need the official kernel?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Factory reset and then use Odin to flash back to stock
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Equals_Android:
thanks i just flashed back to stock. Oh and can i install the offical lollipop rom even though im in new zealand and not in uk.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yeah just factory reset before doing so (so make sure you have anything important backed up)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ecejmpe:
I have an SM-T530, OD8 (lollipop). It is not rooted yet.

In order to rrot it, shall I follow the same porcedures as you describe in this post. In other words, will it owrk for OD8 too?

I have downloaded both ROOT and OD8 kernels, but I am concerned about the ROOT kernel being the same for KitKat and Lollipop, just in case.

Thanks so much for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I assume it will work, w0lfdroid's method has worked for multiple devices for me. However, you might find it simpler to follow this method, which is to flash TWRP custom recovery through Odin, then use TWRP to install superSU.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] ecejmpe:
It didn't work for me :(

Stuck on boot

I'll need to try the TWRP alternative, although that method will trip the KNOX

thanks !!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] pappiloo:
Did not work

I tried the method above but after trying most of what I read in the threads (KIES working, stopped, original cable, USB drivers installed and recognized, removed SD card etc)..

Nothing worked for me. The download mode shows a tiny bit of blue progress bar and is stuck there.

Any help in resolving appreciated, as I am stuck in trying to add the TWRP recovery. I downloaded the files, but cannot download it using Odin, as I still get the same error.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Use twrp version 2.8.6.0 tar file, the tar file for 2.8.7.0 is not working
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] pappiloo:
Thanks!

Yes, that worked. Very disappointing for me. I just didnt pay enough attention to the version number of the downloaded file. :(

On the plus side, I got TWRP recovery done. (Others please note, that to get to Recovery, you Press POWER + VOL-UP (+) & Home button. [ For download mode, you use the VOL DOWN (-) button instead in this combination.

CF-Autoroot, disrupted my google play services. So I am now trying to re-install play services and other packages.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] DennisJay:
Thanks for this guide, it was very useful! I'm able to root my SM-T530NU just fine, but crazily enough I'm finding it hard to find a useful ROM to install after I'm rooted. Is there anywhere with links to ROMs that work on the SM-T530NU? Samsung never released anything past 5.0.2 and I'm finding that most ROMs seem to want 5.1.1.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Use BlissPop, I've had it on my SM-T530NU for a while and it's the best rom available in my opinion
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] DennisJay:
I've been trying for hours now to get that booted up. It gets to the splash and this little box goes around and around for hours. I've tried 4.0.1 and 4.0, which version are you using? Can we actually install a 5.1.1 version onto our 5.0.2 builds?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I'm using 4.0.1, the one dated September 17, located here. We can install a 5.1.1 version onto our 5.0.2 builds, I've been doing it for a while now.

Do you have the latest version of TWRP (dated September 1 if I remember correctly)? Did you do a full wipe before installing: system, data, cache, and dalvik? Which gapps package are you using?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] DennisJay:
I was using the TWRP from the root guide, which is 2.8.6.0. I wiped dalvik and cache, was really hoping to not have to do a full wipe. GApps is 5.1.x 20150404 minimal edition signed.

Thanks for your help. I am so frustrated! I rooted my s6 edge and installed ROMs and didn't have a single issue so this complication took me by surprise.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
If I were you I would update TWRP, definitely do a full wipe (which you should always do for a new rom), and switch to TK Gapps which is more up to date than minimal gapps
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Pocho121:
then if this method is used for firmware 5.0.2?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
No this is how to root 5.0.2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61421937&postcount=4

1. Flash stock XEO 4.4.4 via odin - https://mega.co.nz/#!P5hnwYLR!TVpG0qvOOMpZI-87i7y23KUFDda-XfSEvinzKp3vVvM

2. Copy this to external card then flash via stock recovery(update.zip) - https://mega.co.nz/#!ccJ0hBaJ!GJMhe6oJD1y1q6ruP90DqZfCy39YTPVr7eoc9vgBOKc

Full wipe is recommended before updating

Update:

Here's what I did:

because of several times reflashing the XEO stock 4.4.4 via mega and still ending up on ITV CSC, I manually find a custom ROM with MULTI CSC with XEO on it, and the best ROM for it is Masik 1.2, it lets you flash the CSC's via aroma, after it, flash the XEO via odin again, you'll see there that you are on XEO CSC, full wipe and clear cache, reboot. You'll receive the update immediately. I'm downloading it now..

its not custom Rom u need to odin

The first step was obvious I thought u had problems with the second step after first file u will have stock recovery not Cwm u should just wait as suggested if u don't understand obviously these steps are to hard for u to understand so we don't want u to brick your phone
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jacktackle:
joke

i'm only confused here because the update size is enormous. i mean why? the size looks like a ROM in itself

edit: ok the puzzle is solved.

first file is kitkt 4.4.4 base and the second file is lolipop update

the update.zip is broken. it'll wont copy after download nor will test the zip.

there after simply go to backup and reset. and clean format your device.

restart. get into home screen. sign in to google account. and restart.

now check for updates and you will get that 990mb update of lollipop

install the update and you are a lollipop user :P

Problem with the Update :/

Hello,

I,ve got a note 4 910c

At first i donloaded both files .

Then i flashed the kk rom via odin.

Did a Full Wipe

After this i tried to sideload the update.zip. (Stock recovery)

After sideloads and a minute late the device shows: update successfull .... restart.

But after the restart nothing has changed :/

Then i went to the software update and downloaded a 990mb file (10 mins to download) and then the device showed up a message like: Firmware update cant be finished, pls try agyin later or with odin...

Pls help? ^^
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] jacktackle:
This is strictly for N910C

i found another way to flash the update.zip

it is correct that it'll wont copy to the mobile from usb cable

copy it to SD card through card reader because the recovery ask for the external sd

now reboot to stock recovery (Volume up / home / power)

now choose update zip from sd crd

flash

you r done

Sorry tht wont work either. it gives errors

last option is over the air update :)

I was thinking, we can flash custom roms for the 910C on our 910H without the modem and it works fine right, then why not do the same with this one, first make a backup of our EFS of course, then flash the lollipop update with odin and lastly flash another zip with the modem so networks work fine, but theres one another thing to consider, we dont have root yet and at least in my case thats a must lol

Be the first to try and let us know how that works the update zip also has bootloader so it will fail for your device anyways just hope it doesn't hard brick it. no u can't flash update on n910h for the 100th time lol just wait for custom rom and root is the same just flash cf auto root

so then topic name is hugely incorrect as the OP says to flash custom rom.

I think you misunderstood him. it's an official update.zip extracted from device.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] muratbaizhanov:
my point is:

the topic name says "Stock Manual Update-No Root" but 1st OP message explanation says to flash via aroma custom rom. so, there has to be root and cwm, right?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dr.ketan:
What I believe here is -

There is official update.zip someone have got and which requires stock recovery + stock poland ROM to flash it properly if SO

How developer can help here to make this update universal for all region N910C without worrying of flashing country specific ROM

- This official update.zip must have Lollipo bootloader we needs to extract that.

NOW

Anyone have successfully update to Lollipop can make CWM backup and can share here. So you can restore that CWM backup (Nandroid) (On any country ROM) + You have to flash extracted bootloader

More developmemnt can also be possible (What I did on N900 with same situation)

Any developer having N910C first update his/her devie to lolipop

Once device have Lollipo on his/her device it needs to pull out every component like system,kernel,and modem

Once you have everything you can deodexed and can make custom ROM even before any full ROM update can be available. And This can be possible and I have made first custom Lollipop ROM for N900 with same update.zip.

I am sorry as I don't have N910C so can't do myself.

All the best.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] agentdeep:
I have already TWRP backup of lollipop but I am not a developer :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Exynos)] dr.ketan:
You can upload your CWM backup and can share here. If someone have downloaded update.zip then tell me I can help to extract modem and bootloader and can make odin flashable so your CWM backup + Odin flashable small tar (10MB) should enough to update to lollipop from any ROM.

Anyone have update.zip

Make copy of update.zip (Just to prevent to redownload) then delete system folder inside update.zip + delete system folder from patch folder (If any) too and send me update.zip without having system folder (to reduce zip size as I don't needs system folder)
