[Q] TWRP recovery for Tab 4 10.1 , when ?

Dear developers!
Let me ask you when will the normal operating recovery*? Really for our device is harder to do than to Tab pro or Tab S ? For them, a long time ago is made and people enjoy , doing firmware, mods , etc.. Why do we so hard? Device on sale for six months, and as a result only 7.0 Table 4 recently received from the TWRP developers full recovery*. When can we expect for us?
With deep respect .

Wondering this too, I just picked up this device but I'm thinking of just returning it to get a nexus 7, as I'm not sure if this device will see L or not :/

I'm wondering this as well. I have the SM-T530NU and this thing is super nice. the hardware specs are great and with an uncrippled android os and kernel that supports overclocking it would be unstoppable. How does one go about building a proper TWRP for this thing?
If you look at that TWRP website, notice that there is a listing for TWRP 2.8 - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Qcomm, thats very close to what we have. What is your guys model numbers? We need someone to look at the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Qcomm TWRP and see if we could modify it easily to work on the Tab 4 10.1

Yep, I'm actually thinking of returning this device though, as I was hoping I would be able to put custom roms on it (I don't want to be stuck with Samsung's stuff.), but if TWRP is possible for our device, then that means custom roms will eventually be a thing for this I hope.

all we need is someone who has one and knows how to make android. I'ts not too bad rooted and the samsung crap taken off of it, but i agree with the custom roms statement. we need some custom roms. Cyanogen, AOSP, Beanstalk and id be happy

apparently there is a SEMI-working recovery available. Also the source for said recovery is available also. so we have a decent starting point
original thread containing recovery and source:

Yeah, I'm getting ready to sell it for a Tab S..

[Request] A Clean OS for the Tab A 7.0 (SM-T280)

Hello there
As the title tells you, i would like to have a clean OS for the Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (SM-T280)
With clean OS i mean a completely debloated rom without any extras. As slim as possible. Just a launcher and Core GApps (Playstore + Maps)
Maybe a debloated ROM or a debloation script. or a List of removeable Apps
I notices that the LTE version of the tablet, the SM-T285, allready got some non Touchwiz roms.
CM13 by Jedld and CM14.1 by Jedld
The best what could happen would be, if a developer from the T280 could make it compatible.
Jedld said:
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.

It would be great if someone could help
Greetings!

A month ago i inquired about the likeliness of a ROM for the 280. There was some work being done on it but unfortunately it stopped. As long as devs don't have the device, no work will be done for it. So unless we (requesters) bundle and buy a 280 for a dev (something unlikely to happen) we can only hope.

i want it to

Galaxy Tab 4 "Value Edition" (SM-T533, matissevewifixxx)

Hi everybody,
I've been looking up and down in this sub-forum but can't seem to find an up-to-date ROM (Nougat or up) that seems to be suited as a daily driver for the Tab 4 SM-T533 "Value Edition" (WiFi only, no LTE). I understand it has a different SoC than the regular Tab 4, hence the ROMs available for that one won't work.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alternative?
Currently, I am still on Stock Android 5, rooted (with SuperSU) and TWRP in place. So, I'm good to go, just need a decent ROM.
Thanks for any hints and tips!
Cheers

I have the Tab 4 10.1 wifi only edition t530 and there are craploads of roms. Old but still available. Most don't have working camera. I'm currently running a Dual Boot setup where Stock is my primary rom and LineageOS 14.1 is my secondary rom i can boot into whenever I'd like. Pie has also just been released for this device.

Thanks for getting back. Also for reminding me that I forgot to mention the model name. I edited the OP to point out that it's a SM-T533.
Now, the trouble is that the SM-T533 and the SM-T530 supposedly have different hardware so the ROMs for the 530 wouldn't run on the 533.
I'd be happy with Nougat already. Wouldn't even need to be Oreo or Pie.
Too bad, but it seems there aren't enough devices out there so that it would make sense for any developer to spend the time porting a ROM to the SM-T533.
Cheers

Hiya
i acquired ex demo model of the tab4 T530 and T533.
i managed to fix the T530 model flashing with Odin but no joy on the T533.
what i noticed is the the firmware for the T530 had BL CS and AP files ,but the T533 are only i big file, @Poorusernamechoice developer was supposed to break the firmware into AP BL and CS but alas i have not heard anything back , please assist anyone who has the know how

@musafir 7 Thanks for your reply. I don't believe that after two more years chances have become bigger that anyone puts a minute of work into this. :-( By the way: We still have the tab and it's still running, though it's being used only scarcely now.

Thank you for your reply,my tablet is still in a demo mode smirking at me,could some one assist @thisisapoorusername explained to me what i need to do but we mere mortalz lack the confidence to execute the linux command to split the SM-T533 firmware in to AP BL and CS.

Custom ROMs?

Are there any custom roms i can use with this tablet, Thank you.

If you look around about you'll find out these are Treble devices so you can use GSI's on these.

But would one be able to find for instance, a ressurrection remix treble image??? Then I'd want to know how to root the tablets, if I decided to buy one, of course, there's the question of, "would I brick it" since I'm used to doing phones, and everything is so hard to go custom on these days, since being made rootless only at around android 10, at least for stock android

You might want to search the Samsung Galaxy Tab forums for this answer. The development community around the galaxy tabs is quite active depending on the model. You can locate the model number of your tablet under the settings menu or on the back of the tablet by the bottom. It should be something like model number SM-T*** Mine is an SM-T380. Search the model number and you might find a better answer

Custom recovery for the Tab A8?

I have just bought the galaxy tab A8 SM-X200 and couldn't wait for it to arrive so I could play about with it and customise it, as much as I love my S21 ultra, I couldn't help being curious as to root a reasonably priced tablet before.
I managed to flash custom roms and root Sony phones before but never samsung.
Anyway I've tried a few of these one click roots but they all say the same thing; that my tablet isn't vulnerable enough but also I can't see to find a custom recovery for it either.
Could some one please help me out there. Thanks

have you found any solution ??
