OHHHH I see what is going on now! Reading does the Body better than milk every once in a while ?. Didn't even notice you and zaphod have been chipping away at it all night. U Flew through making those scripts M. One day I may have to start drinking as much coffee, readING as many threads, and tinker away as much as you do M - so I can put the Cape on for a project too! Hah. So you trying to completely DE Knox / DE Samsung / DE bloat (done) and gain root? Ultimately? Or do you have more ideas.? I read above that you made your own kernel work as well?

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Thanks for the forewarning on Jack the Ripper lol, I was going to run the script soon as I went and got my PC from work in a few. I'll wait for a while longer and debloat myself when we tinker enough to gain root access. Samsung should just give us a root option in developer options. We will figure it out as always, They probably just love seeing all of us squirm for a little whiles... Geohot Got on with Google? Can't believe it, that's great for him. That guy is extremely talented. And in regards to Deodex, I tried to Deodex my sm-n900p (sprint note 3's) 5.0 Firmware that was released recently.... and I think I got rid of too many odexed files. Or, did not get rid of enough, i'm not quite sure. Pretty much forced me to Odin the Tar. Again. If I had a better understanding of the whole Deodex issue, I would be working on it myself. You guys need any help, or is there things I could be looking into research wise to be of assistance?. Just let me know guys.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
What and how did you Deodex the rom.. I has a XDA page on a simple script, but my PC rebooted over night.. and I lost it..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
I'm currently attempting to Deodex and Zipalign the stock rom with little to no modifications.. Having trouble with the Update Script..

I have ZIPPO experience with it, so its a completely new experience for me.. Ill be uploading what I have later on.. What I will be uploading its for experienced testers who know what they are doing.. It's not even considered a Beta, consider it completely Alpha.

Anyone else notice that the IR blaster on the SM-T330NU is not working after the 5.1.1 update?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
Your right, mine doesn't work either..

and I know I have the T330NU Lollipop ROM installed..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
SM-T330NU lollipop root?

anyone achieved root SM-T330NU lollipop? I don't give a damn about tripping knox or all other, just asking around if if anyone sucessfully rooted after upgraded 5.1.1.

it may be too early to say, since SM-T330NU lollipop firmware just come out...

let me know...
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
Moonbutt74 is working on attempting root. There are a lot of things things that have to be circumvented when trying to root this rom.. Knox and SeLinux are a pain in the ass.. The hope is maybe there is a way to port over the T550NU's root method to this rom.. There is no expected date on when this will happen.. It's beyond my skill set and this is the first ROM I've ever tried to modify, and one amazing experience..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
thanks for the info, I read a few posts back, I asked here again just to be sure there's no feasible root method yet. Anyway, Wife's tablet, so I am quite hesitant to do experimental stuff on it (she will kill me If I screw up her tablet :p), so looking for a safe root method.

so what we should do;

go head update lollipop and wait to see if anyone comes up a root method (@Moonbutt74 :)

or

not update lollipop until a feasible root method surface here?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Snow_Ghost:
Ya same here. It was working fine before the update. I used it regularly. But after the 5.1.1 update...

---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

Thanks [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] for putting in the hours on this root attempt for us. I have a KNOX 0x1 SM-T330NU already, so I wouldn't mind using in for testing out different root methods. Let me know if I could be of any assistance for you.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
i heard that if you get lollipop using OTA update, people reported the similar issue, but once you download firmware and go thru flashing it using odin, it fixes...

it won't hurt to try...
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Snow_Ghost:
I don't get OTA due to KNOX being 0x1 I believe. So I downloaded the firmware from this post and flashed it with Odin 3.09
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
May be anybody try this method http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61918477&postcount=29 ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
that would be stupid question to ask, but did you use USA or Canada firmware?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Snow_Ghost:
Canadian
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
I didn't flash the update since I had Cyanogen Mod 11 on my device.. So I flashed the .TAR in ODIN. I flashed the XAR version which is the us version and my IR Blaster does not work..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
flash US firmware...and see if it is the same issue...if it is then, ohh well then Samsung crap!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Snow_Ghost:
I flashed the Canadian XAC .TAR the same way using Odin. So I guess this confirms that both versions do not work.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
try this;

Clear the settings of smart remote app, Remove the updates of smart remote app using application manager, and force close it and reboot the device.

and check it IR Blaster works.

if still no go, go to developer option from dalvik to ART, and give a try

I bet the latest version (that comes with lollipop_ overdrives the IR module hardware capacity i guess and it breaks it
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
I use both the Peel version of the Watchon and the one specifically made for Samsung, both do not work..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
go to developer option from Dalvik to ART, and give a try -- have you tried this and still NO go?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] wf201626:
installed 5.1.1 for my 330nu Canada version. it went fine. no reset to factory required.

thanks for sharing the firmware.

thanks

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
My tablet is not with me at the moment, but I will give that a try later.. I might just reflash the rom to be sure..

I don't use my IR blaster on my Galaxy tab, or at least often.. Although I use it a lot on my Galaxy S4.. Its fun to shut off screens off at the Mall or McDonald's menu screen with it..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
hah hah hah hah....
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
And we have a winner for best post of the day :silly:
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Snow_Ghost:
Does the IR blaster work after your update?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] wf201626:
never used it. don't know. may try when i get home tonight.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
Ohhh holly crap...my wife comes home and I took her Tab 4 8.0, and realized it was already updated lollipop...she said she got update prompt, so she clicked OK....darn!

ohh well, I was thinking to wait until feasible root method....anyway, hopefully someone comes up an easy way to root...
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
I deodexed and re-packaged it, I am uploading now (currently %30 done) - this is really for developers. [MENTION=5954417]thisisapoorusernamechoice[/MENTION] may put a download link his OP thread if he thinks this may be useful.

You can föash 4.4.2 back and root it if you really need root, ive been waiting for lollipop over 6 months without root :)

[MENTION=4758472]jazzespresso[/MENTION] I added your deodexed build to the OP, thank you and sorry it took me so long
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
no worries man....deodexed build is just in case we get root, then it may come handy for developers who want to build custom stock base lollipop ROM...
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
that's what I am thinking, but anyone did 'downgrade' from 5.1.1 to 4.4.2? I have not done this, at least for this tablet...

SM-T531 build for Ukraine added
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] :
Hello,

So, it looks like my tablet (Tab 4 8.0 Wifi a.k.a T330NU), has been updated for Lolipop 5.1.1. I have 2 questions.

First - will I have to re-root my tablet?

Second - My tablet has it's KNOX tripped, can I still update? (rooted with CF Auto Root)

Sorry for the noobness, I am new to Android rooting and stuff.

-thedroidman
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
Take some time to read the thread, but to answer your question, there are no root methods for this device on Android 5.1.1, at least not at the current moment.. There are some that are working on it.. You will need to reroot, 5.1.1 makes root extremely difficult because of the way Samsung ties its ROMs to the device, SeLinux and Knox..Which is buried deep into the ROM it's self..

Edit: If you try using any other Root Method.. You WILL brick your device..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
So far nobody has been able to root the lollipop firmware, so you could flash this firmware, but you'd lose root with no way to re-root (for now, people are working on it). It doesn't matter that KNOX is tripped, you can still flash this firmware, although I would recommend a factory reset before doing so
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] :
Alright, and one last thing, I am from Canada, but my Tab 4 build is UEU1AND4, I don't see one for it. Can I still do the one that says Canada?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
From what I understand there are very little differences between the US version and the Canadian one..

I downgraded back to Stock Android 4.4.2.. And its the Canadian version.. And I live in the US.

If anyone can tell me the difference, it would be appreciated..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] :
Alright, right now i'll follow what you are saying, but if someone says something different, i'll use there method.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:
If you want to know all about your device and firmware install Samsung Phone info from Play Market .
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jazzespresso:
there's no differences between US and Canadian version, I compared both firmwares, only differences region files that's pretty much it (all frameworks, app, libs, priv-app...etc are identical).
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] :
Ok, so i'm downloading the one that says Canada, and i'll see how it goes.

T,

sorry for the OT

can you give me a listing of the sm-t335's /system/lib/modules directory ?

thanks. i need to know if prima/pronto drivers are necessary.

i'm thinking i might be able to build from the sm-t530nu's source again.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Sorry for taking so long to reply, inside /system/lib/modules there's a folder named pronto, inside this folder (so /system/lib/modules/pronto) there's one file, pronto_wlan.ko. I'll update this post with the full file listing of /system/lib/modules in a moment.

T,

hi, thanks that was all i need to see, so my kernel for sm-t335 is compiling with correct modules.

Interesting note, i have compiled a kernel for my sm-t330nu and my sm-t530nu with both the kernel source LL release for

the sm-t530nu and the sm-t335.

Huh that's interesting I didn't realize that would be possible. Also I am a proud tap-dancing trans-gender toaster tart. That legendary turn of phrase just made my entire week :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Droidphilev:
Hmm, downloaded 2 recent UK builds from sammobile. None of them boot. Is it possible that they updated the bootloader (again)? I updtaed my bootloader with the first Spanish build by the way so i already have a Lollipop bootloader. EDIT: SM-T530
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I add these as-is (all I do is verify the zip file isn't corrupted, extracts correctly, and that the tar has everything it's supposed to). That said, maybe try doing a factory reset first if you're trying to switch regions? Also, not that this should have to be a consideration, but every time I have downloaded a corrupted file (only a few times total) they've been from Sammobile.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Droidphilev:
Hi T,

Well... it seems my Odin was the problem. Switched to another Odin version and after that it booted fine.

Has anyone been able to install [MENTION=4758472]jazzespresso[/MENTION]'s deodexed rom for SM-T330NU? I'd love to see if I can get it rooted and install Xposed, but I can't get the rom to install via Odin at all. I've tried multiple versions of Odin but I just get the following error message;

Guys....it is NOT flashable zip file, do NOT install...there's going to be flashable pre-rooted deodexed ROM 5.1.1 very soon (still working on it).

this one just deodexed files, I put out there in case any of other developers like to take it and make their own ROM...

Wow samsung keeps holding 7.0 update for ages! Btw any tab 8.0 owners succed rooting android 5.1.1? I will uådate my tab 4 7,0 and root it as soon as possible because ive been waiting for 7 months that update! too bad there isnt onePlus tabs, they would have alö updates ready.... Samsung = never again....

If your familiar with the 7.0 Tablets from Samsung, they are the ones that always get screwed over..

Yea, i had only one tab before tab 4 7.0 which was tab 2 10.1 so.... :/ gives very bad image of their work. 7 months i gave time to them and it keeps gettig delayed.... hopefully there was a post on youmobile where youmobileOfficial said that update will come early next month so 2 weeks more to wait only :) unless they cancel it (wouldnt be big suprise lol)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Youmobile has literally zero effect on when an official Samsung update drops. You, me, and the rest of the old ladies here in our little sewing circle have had the same accuracy predicting the update arrivals as youmobile. The updates will come when they do, and the rest is just blowing hot air
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Droidphilev:
uh? sewing??? i was thinking i had to knit all the time!!!
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] its the peanut:
Just for the people who wants to flash the firmware with flashfire beta by chainfire... You can try but i selected the protected partitions too but not the primary and secundary and ap bootloaders, flashed the UK version on my tab 4 t530 and after that i hear the boot sound but its stuck in the samsung tab4 black screen, so use at own risk maybe dont select the protected partitions... I dont know but just use odin instead when unsure of this app. Or wait till stable release.

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] repey6:

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thelous:
Well, they been always right so far.....
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
They're right when they're reporting that an update has been released. When it comes to predicting beforehand, they do the exact same thing everyone does here, clutter an otherwise useful forum full of posts that all essentially amount to, "Gee I bet the update will be released soon, I hope," often because supposedly some unnamed Samsung employee maybe made some vague remarks off the record. Which I find doubly ironic because even Samsung doesn't know exactly when they're going to release any given update. Not only do they have to build it, they have to debug the hell out of it to make sure they don't have hundreds of pissed off customers.

Point being the updates come when they do and nobody's speculation, ours, youmobile, or anyone else, makes the slightest difference. Patience is a virtue young Padawan.

I guess this is my long-winded-rant-way of asking, CAN WE PLEASE STOP WITH THE SPECULATING AND PREDICTING OF INCOMING UPDATES PRETTY DUCKING PLEASE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND HOOKERS ON THE TOP?! Honestly it contributes nothing and clutters up this thread, others like it, and the forum in general. Sorry to target you in particular, but in my defense you've been one of the main offenders, at least on this thread. There are numerous others too unfortunately

I just purchased a SM-T330NY KAXAR, will any of the lollipop firmware work on my tablet? I don't know what the difference is between the T330NU
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] rajk4686:
What about T231?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
As I've said numerous times in this thread, I add new devices as soon as they're updated. As of yet, the T231 has not been updated to lollipop (indeed none of the 7.0 models have been thus far). When it is, I will happily add it, as I have for all other devices. If you're looking for a KitKat firmware file, the KitKat thread is linked to in the OP.

Oy vey
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
I hate to tell ya, and this is my personal opinion based on how Samsung treats their 7 inch Tablets..

It's unlikely that Samsung will release an update for the T2XX.. I could be wrong, but some devices just get shafted..

My Galaxy S4 was supposed to get 5.1.1, but I got screwed and I'm stuck with 4.4.4.. Custom roms screw up my cell signal and don't support the T-Mobile Wifi Calling Feature.... So like many device.. I got screwed too.. And besides there really isn't much difference between 4.4.2 and Android 5.1.1.. Just some under the hood stuff and a slight interface change. Your performance will be similar and rooting it is a pain since they lock their devices down hard with Knox and SeLinux Kernels..

Your better off sticking with what you got...

Just my 2 cents..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thelous:
yeah i heard all tab 7.0 inch tablets get f*cked up by samsung.. wouldnt be big suprise if they cancelled 5.1.1 for 7.0
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
There isn't much hardware wise regarding each Galaxy tab... Either someone will make a CM/Blisspop port over to your device sooner than later..

I'm running the Stock Lollipop on my 8 inch Galaxy tab, and to be honest its not all that it's cracked up to be... So much in fact that Samsung has made it next to impossible to modify.. It's taken weeks for Moonbutt74 and others to create a modified Kernel so we could root.. There are no available tools to Deodex this 5.1.1 rom.. I have tried many times and got zippo.. It has something to do with the XZ Compression and I'm giving up until better tools are released.. The ROM is so new and so heavily modified out of the box, its almost not even worth upgrading too.. CM/Blisspop is moving our way, and that should be the way to go..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] :
Z,

okay, i am still running this LP 5.1.1 release, now here's the funny

i have make and a somewhat well-functioning gcc 4.8 [native] working , getting lib locations and linking right is a pain, i can compile

some simpler c code with it.

i managed to get strace compiled so i can start finding out some info on what happens at su time

i compiled simg2img so I can convert sparse images from firmwares right on my tab instead of having to travel back and forth via adb.

what i'm trying to figure out right now is a way to bind mount a block device to a port number [if that's actually possible]

If it is possible i think i can use my tab's adb to connect to itself and achieve a root prompt, [real, not fake like rootsh trick which doesn't work anymore]

the point is when the world hands you lemons, you punch it in the face and then grab yourself a soda !!!!

xD

NOTE- many elder binaries [and some scrolls xD ] will not run! the kernel is enforcing PIE code so you will have to recompile you favourite excesses statically and passing either -fPIC or -fPIE on the gcc line.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] JustZaphod:
I have never heard of anyone being able to tie a device to a specific port number.. I would assume its possible, but I've never seen it..

Edit: If it can be done in "ODIN/Download Mode" it may have something to do with tying it to the bootloader maybe??

There's....in fact, I deodexed 5.1.1, and recently working on custom stock base 5.1.1 ROM, plus i already ported many of apps from new Tab S2 (SM-T815 - firmware available) and many apps from Galaxy Tab A..

It almost transforms this tablet into Tab S2/Tab A. Now, don't think these are simple ports, fact that I ended up modify many of apps smali files as well.

You may ask "so when we can see this ROM?", well, there are still several bugs that I need to iron out, so whenever time allows, I will try to work on them, and hoping to put first 5.1.1 TouchWiz base ROM unless someone does before me :p

I will probably volunteer [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] as contributor of this ROM, he probably has no clue what the heck I am talking:D
