Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 T530NU Firmware/TWRP/Bootloop - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

:crying: -Sigh- Alright, this has been a pretty stressful two days so I'll try to be as specific as I can.
Device details:
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 T530NU 16 GB Black with WiFi capabilities.
- I was running Lollipop 5.0.2.
Problem:
I wanted to get Xposed installer on my tablet, and found out if I wanted to get the modules I wanted working with what I wanted to do, I needed the Xposed Framework installed onto my tablet. I went to research on how that works/what do to to get that up and running for me, and I found out I needed TWRP, had to add it on my tablet with Odin, and then add what I needed for Xposed in a custom boot through my SD card.
As soon as I got TWRP on my tablet, I've been stuck on a bootloop.
Things I've tried:
- Wiping all data.
- Clearing cache/dalvik.
- Charged to full, and retried clearing cache/wiping again.
Additional Details:
- I have access to a PC
- Able to connect my tablet to a PC via USB cord.
- I'm in the US (Since I've some some region specific things floating around)
What kind of help I'm looking for:
- A updated(?) and working stock firmware for my device.
- TWRP version that will work properly on my device.
- Xposed framework ZIP to add to my device.
I've been spending hours and hours trying to find websites and threads on here and on the internet in general to help me fix it, or find stock firmware for my tablet to start over from scratch. I have had no luck anywhere at all. My desktop is just piled with .ZIP files that have claimed to work but no longer work(?).
I'm just at a loss...It's really diving me crazy. So, as a last resort, I'm writing to see if I can get some help on here. I'm not one to really ask for help on things like this..I usually do enough research to figure it out but I feel like I've visited every single thread/site I can and have had no luck. I would greatly appreciate some guidance

Resurrecting this thread after over a year hoping someone is paying attention...
Tying to the thread hopefully getting enough people talking about this... again.

I have the same problem as well. I have downgraded from 5.0.2 to 4.4.2 hoping that would work. I flashed PACMAN custom ROM and GAPPS 6.0 nano last night and was able to get in and through setup, but the wifi will not work nor does it detect any nearby networks.
Looking for answers here... Corrupted partitions maybe? I have stable stock ROM's
Maybe sideload APK's to evaluate/fix the issue from the ui side - if any apps exist?

JF1.5 w/A2SD market shows apps installed but cannot download.

Hi folks,
First I wanna take a moment to thank the community for all the great work.
with out your hard work and excellent tutorials I would not have been able to do this on my own.
I Originally had JF1.42RC33, and had used MarcusMaximus's AppstoSD application found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3627492#post3627492
When JF put out his 1.5ADP recently I went ahead and flashed that without wiping. I also updated the Radio immedietly after flashing JF's ROM. Everything was working fine at this point.
Then when johnowa636 posted his Aero port based on the JF build.
Found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511183
I decided to flash that, because I really like Aero. Everything at this point was good, with the occasional forceclose error coming from com.vending.something (sorry i just don't remember the excact error)
So recently when Ultra Spikey posted his Aero theme for JF1.5
Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482799
I decided to Flash once again the Original JF1.5 I had downloaded from JF's blog. and then I flashed the theme created by Ultra Spikey.
Everything seems fine, but it's not. All the apps installed work and function as they should and the Market sees all my installed apps and purchased apps. it sees them as installed and some have updates available.
The problem Im having is when I clik on update, I get a starting download, but it just sits there and never downloads. I've tryed on both 3G and wi-fi and still it is not working. I also tryed to just download an app i didn't have. and also it would not download.
If anyone can help guide me in the right direction so I can learn what is wrong and how to fix it, I would really appreciate it.
I have the SDK installed in windows XP 64bit and also have a drive I installed Debian 5.0 on. I installed Debian so I could partition the SD, but Im a totall newbie to it.
I hope I've provided enough info. If there is anything else I can add please let me know, And thanks for taking the time to read this.
Something similar happened to me today after I (finally) got A2SD working on JF1.5. Apps were downloading fine initially, but then stalled. Got stuck on the same "Starting download..." step just like yours did. I left it there, remembering people having a similar issue a month ago or so, and eventually they downloaded and installed fine.
Is it just the market throttling people who download too many apps within a short time frame?
Off-topic question. Does the Aero v1.3 theme work with Open Home, or is it purely for the stock launcher?
Thanks for the reply ^^
I'll try just waiting and see if the download issue resolves itself.
I do have open home installed. it seems to work just fine with Ultra spikey's theme. i've a atached 2 screenshots.
Problem is fixed.
waiting did not solve the problem I had downloading apps.
Having no other input for ideas on how to go about fixing this I simply wiped, Reformated the ext2 partition ( just to be sure I started with a clean slate ), and reflashed JF1.5.
I then Applied the Aero theme and Finally used the A2SD method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512743
All is working well
I would close this thread, but I do not know how.

[Q] Advice Please - Mobile Odin - Could not detect device model - USB not recognizing

Hi all, hoping to get some advice in regards to a brick wall I've hit.
So background, my Galaxy S4 (i9505 running 4.2.2) has had ongoing USB recognition issues and thus I haven't been able to upgrade to a custom rom for a while. After following a couple of very detailed and useful guides on here, without success I had decided that it was likely one of two things:
A hardware problem (I have a third party charging port installed after the OEM stopped working)
Or when I was playing around with settings I derped and uninstalled the MTP application or some related core service.
So I left it for a while but today I decided to do something about it and discovered Mobile Odin (4.20), bought it and clean flashed SlimKat 4.4.4 (http%www%slimroms%net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1182-jflte). Took a while but the rom booted, really liked the look and I tried to install 3rd party apps and set up phone as usual but noticed that Google Play Store was missing. Manually installed V4.9 but it kept opening and closing so I uninstalled and the flashed the normal gapps and the AIO gapps through Mobile Odin (with and without clear cache), both processed OK but upon reboot none of apps ever installed.
So I decided to re-flash the SlimKat, I had to re download as I performed a factory restore in amongst things and had the original rom stored on internal. When I flashed inject root was checked as were all the other default options but upon reboot Mobile Odin is giving me "Could not detect device model" which after looking around basically means I lost root .
So my questions are: Without connecting via USB (because it's still not working) what are my options for flashing another rom or regaining root? Is there a way to get to stock 4.4.4 without USB?
Really appreciate any advice, currently the phone has network service and WiFi so in the mean time, without Google Play store it is just a significant inconvenience, but still operational.
Regards,
Marc
#Update
I don't know how but my root has been restored while I was playing around clearing app cache's etc. So now I have SlimKat 4.4.4 but unfortunately still no Google services/Store etc. When I manually install it, it has this issue where it automatically opens and then closes, so still working on fixing that. Again appreciate any input.
Hello, I've been flashing ROMs for a while now and I can't think of a way to regain root from within the ROM itself. How did you get root on your device in the first place to install mobile odin?
I have never used a play store application for any type of flashing, was never sure if it would be reliable or not. That being said, have you installed a custom recovery into your phone whilst you were playing around with it? If you did then you can fix this without fixing your USB connection.
However if you still have stock recovery, you probably need a USB connection to regain root. If that is the case, what have you actually tried to fix the USB problem?

Hey @lichking21st. Mobile Odin is allegedly just odin without the need for USB. I have tried to fix the USB to no avail
Actually just about to update my original post, I don't know how but my root has been restored while I was playing around clearing app cache's etc. So now I have SlimKat but unfortunately still no Google services/Store etc. When I manually install it, it has this issue where it automatically opens and then closes, so still working on fixing that. Again appreciate any input.
Problems solved!
Clean flashed stock rom then clean flashed back to SlimKat. Google play and root carried over.
USB still not working have to put it down to a hardware issue now. Oh well, so happy
@MOD you can close this. Thanks again for the help LichKing

Glad to see your problem is fixed, I would still advise you to get a custom recovery so you have some options if you really get stuck without root for next time. I recommend using TWRP but CWM works too.

I've somehow done something obscure with my phone (Error Code 7) partition problem?

Hi Folks,
I've been lurking and getting great advice form this forum for many years but have finally come up with something I can't fix myself.
I was running a few custom roms but somehow when trying out a few of them I have managed to do something so that I can't flash any custom roms any more.
TWRP which gives an error 7 message (which seems to suggest that my phone no longer thinks it is a moto x play). At present I can install stock roms using ADB but that seems to be about it. I have tried to roll back using a stock rom from the motorola website (LUX_RETLA_DS_LPD23.118-6.1_cid12_lux_retla_ds) but that didn't fix it.
I also can't seem to root my current stock rom (XT1562_LUX_RETEU_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52) but am sure I was able to before i had this problem.
I can't help but think I probably should be grateful that whatever i did didn't brick my phone but I've been trying every idea I can find that over the last few months and nothing has helped. I get the idea it might be some kind of low level partition issue but that is just a desperate hunch. From time to time I've got what seem to be partition errors when try various roms to fix this but they've usually worked their way out.
Any hints or suggestions on how to rectify this would be most welcome.

help with 2 roms for note 4 sm-n910w8

I have a glitch with the stock ROM from Samsung SM-N910W8 Android v# 6.01 and all latest updates, there is a clitch that will kill my battery very fast and cause my phone to miss read the battery # as it usually shots off and will not last rebooting past the intro screen for Touchwhiz but says the battery % is usually between 17 -35%.
I know in any kind of power saver mode I get down to 1% like a normal phone but under battery nothing is listed that used that much power. Also other mods so far I don't get that issue.
So here is what I am looking for.
I want to install one of 2 roms. the first is Alliance ROM I have fallowed all their instructions on this page.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...0-1-alliancerom-n910f-18-themes-huge-t3051276
I could not install bob4 or any other bob modem either with Oden (yes the latest one 3.12 or something.) I always get a basic non helpful error and fail, however when I boot into custom recovery Philz_touch I can install the Alliance mod (AllicnceROM_v2.2_N910F) that was the latest version I found to be compatible with the Note 4 so if there is something else I can go to get a more up-to-date version that would be awesome as android I think it up to V#7 something. Anyways after I clean the partition and install it just infinitely boot loops and I have to recover my old Rom to try something else.
The other MOD I found that I liked was the Omega ROM. I was able to get it installed but the modem drivers were not present and trying to fallow the instructions and install the 2 drivers to get the modem working failed every time I tried to install them. this is the link I fallowed https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/omega-rom-note-4-t2994778
Can someone please tell me how if possible to get these installed properly I did fallow all the guides and they didn't work.

Lenovo TB-X704L: Magisk issues - Roll back to stock or try and push forward?

Hi everyone,
I've got a TB-X704L (a Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus).
I managed to get it, some time ago (about Jan), to root it and (with a lot of help from people on here) get Magisk running, installing Android 9.
There, sadly the good news ended. As of about March (so around 10 weeks after I got it going), Magisk stopped passing Safetynet attenstation.
It passed basic integrity, failing ctSProfile.
I've hung on, hoping for an update that might fix it, but no, as of September we're still on 23.0 (23000) and still failing, which wipes out the reason for the tablet!
So what I'd like help with is;
- Is there a simple way to fix this Safetynet issue?
- If not, what's the best plan; to go back to stock or install a new rom?
- Any good guides on either from where I am?
I'm no noob, but the investment of time on this so far has been pretty huge!
Help much appreciated.
Thanks all,
Any help?
Any ideas how to get back to stock? or If I would sort my magisk problem by installing a different os?
