Rooted NK2 AT&T t337a w/ Tutorial - Galaxy Tab 4 General

******UPDATE FIX YOUR T337A WITH LOLIPOP FRIMWARE FILE******* I do not take credit for this file at all, all credit goes to MichaelSaya. Here is a direct quote from him "Here is the link to my Google drive with the Official Lollipop Firmware for the AT&T TAB 4, SM-T-337-A https://mega.nz/#!0Q4AXQgZ!Df-pTUo6eA80kGTrzpYCAJ0ilGbUzMYCE4nRtvume6s Place in AP slot in Odin and flash. Be aware that many have been bricked. Only root with Kingroot and when you reboot, you will lose root. Simply re-root with Kingroot and you will be fine. DO NOT REPLACE KINGROOT WITH SUPERSU!!!!! YOU WILL BRICK!!!!! But we have the firmware now so we can now play around knowing that if we mess something up, we can fix it."
I found a way to re-root the t337a with the latest OTA NK2. Not sure if I was the only one in this boat or whatever but I got bored and started experiment. First thing i did was Flash the older NF4 kernel with ODIN. Put this in the PDA slot and flash! It was successful, I downloaded Towel root, and bam! Root working again ! Cheers!
Tutorial:
1. Get the latest drivers to make sure everything goes smooth http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...NG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.0.exe
2. Get Odin if you don't have it yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
3. Download the NF4 kernel from the attachment below
4. Go into Odin.
5. Click on PDA, search for the file you downloaded boot.tar and select it. Pic: http://i.imgur.com/XrqVPLZ.png
6. Now, put your tablet into download mode! If you don't know how to enter download mode go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDE1oB2-nYw its the s5 but same concept.
7. Plug in your tablet and it should say something like this in message window in odin: http://i.imgur.com/uWFc4YX.png
8. Now, hit start. Let the process run. If all goes well it should say RESET! I dont know what happened to this pic lol http://i.imgur.com/AbH5qW7.png but hopefully you get the point.
9. Give the tablet a few minutes to boot. Keep it plugged in until you see PASS! http://i.imgur.com/eTuHDUl.png
10. Go get towel root. Run it. And BAM! You are rooted again
*** WARNING *** This doesn't work with the lolipop update. I have tried to downgrade my tablet and it did softbrick it. Do not try to downgrade your tablet/try this method if you are running lolipop 5.1.1. This only works on kitkat. HOWEVER. I have the lolipop boot.tar. Use the instructions above to unbrick your tablet (This will not give you root access. I'm going to look at it and see if I can figure something out to get root access). I have not tested this myself because mine is at a friends house BUT this should work. Cheers

Hi,
Neat ! so if the older kernel was compiled before towel root's october deadline [i think it was october] when that vulnerability
was closed then that would make sense. :good:
so the rom run just fine with the older kernel ?
could you post the older NF4 kernel/boot.img and modules ?
thanks
m

Absolutely! Heres the thing. I cant post links yet. Is there anyway i can pm itnto you and idk you set up a post? Or is there another way

Yeah you indeed do have the wrong device, however if you want i can upload the NE1 kernel (first kernel for the t537a). However... i have not tested it for this device. It should be the same concept but im not 100 percent sure it will work. Do you want to at least try? Ill post it in my next reply if you are interested in giving it a go.

CocaFoca,
hi, this is off-topic but, do you have a working recovery for the 337a yet? Or a lead on unlocking it?
I've alternately tried to mod safestrap and actually build it from what sources Hashcode had up
but no dice.
on the odin image, it may have been packed wrong,
run this script in the same directory as the boot.img
#!/bin/bash
tar -H ustar -c boot.img > boot.tar
md5sum -t boot.tar >> boot.tar
mv boot.tar boot.tar.md5
odin complains about the md5 sometimes so you can skip
the last line, it will still flash.

I unfortunately do not. I do believe I know why safestrap isnt workin SElinux wont disable at all for me... Tried booting safestrap for different att phones and it woulndt stick always said not active. I believe we need to find a way to make it permissive then it will work? Tried the one on the market didnt work. I did get one to make it permissive but it reset after reboot :/ im just a newbie at this stuff but tbh I want to learn. Anyways... Im interested in this... Will look into it tomorrow

Coca,
ok you may need selinux enabled busybox, check this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...de-busybox-snapshot-building-android-t2857650 , the OP is a good read the links are a ways down, i've tested out both versions and they seem square.
my last thought is to replace the two distinct busybox binaries in safestrap, busybox and bbx, my attempts with safestrap
end up rebooting to my actual recovery if that provides a lead. the version i chose for modding was Galaxy S4 (ATT) [JFLTEATT]

I'm not sure what happened CarlDinAZ but I had the same specs on my Tab 4 I just got through an upgrade from AT&T and after following the tutorial by Coca using the boot.tar he provided for the T537A and then rooting with towelroot I can confirm that it does work for this model.
Thanks for the boot.tar and tutorial Coca!

Just had a had a thought, maybe we could tweak a twrp version for say the t-mobile version and try to code safestrap into that and make it boot on our t337a? Recently had the need for a recovery and I want to help get it working! Do you think there is any chance with the one linked here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/sm-t235-lte-rooted-twrp-2-8-alpha1-sm-t3027059

Thanks for this, because the tar is not zipped there is no self check in place to make sure the file is in tact from the download.
Could you please post an MD5 checksum of the original that you uploaded so we can verify it before we flash?

You only need to odin. There is no flashing. You need to download the tar file from the op and follow these basic instructions for flashing the tar file.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Open odin
2. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)
3. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
4. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
5. You do not need to choose a pit file.
6. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Should be the sph-d700-****-8Gb-REL.tar)
7. Hit start. It will do its thing.
8. If it fails than try a new cable.
9. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
Is there a way to create an ODIN file for our personalized system? Like a Nandroid backup except Odinable.

Great work!!
Cool to see that all of the goodies are already incorporated into the tar file so all we have to do is just ODIN it and we're done. Root and CWM Purple are already there.
Sweet!!
Loving it!
Thanks for all the hard work.
Now have to change the start up and shut down animation files. Hee hee

For some reason I don't recall seeing a tar file in the zip. I will have to double check. And I wull obviously have to root after said process correct? I am trying this on the lady's phone. So I appreciate the help.

Okay, so I double checked, and no tar file. But I see a couple bin files. Just so I am clear. we are supposed to unzip this correct? And use it via Odin? I'm not too familiar with the Epic, I'm used to flashing things via recovery on my Photon. So I'm trying to learn as I go. Appreciate all the help everyone.

If so I am sure samfirmware would be interested to know just how many Epic users use their leaks...hence why they requested no mirrors for the files they posted to get a count.

No problem I might port it over depending on how the rumors go for an official update.
I look forward to a deodexed version with AIO as well once that gets around. I feel like EH18 will be the official since they never leak the official. But this will hopefully stop the memory leaks and random reboots.

I recommend just making an account. It's free and I'm guessing you won't go past 20 GB.
If you don't register, then you only get 1 GB.
Only cost $5.00 on PayPal for a donate version for a year which gives you a few more benefits.
Thanks for this!

I have no idea why this Epic is randomly rebooting. But it's really inconvenient.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/266817/ocs.android.72727.log
that was what popped up on the sdcard. I can't figure out how to read it. I am assuming that's the file the phone is creating when it reboots **RANDOMLY** several times a day.
if you can't read that, tell me how I can get the log that the phone SHOULD be creating when it reboots randomly... or a way to figure out why it's going this.
So this is still leak right? Not an official release yet?

| ★GUIDE★HOW★TO★ | ★UPDATE★ | ★Dec.30.2013★ |​
In order for me to help u ....i need to know from which part that u don't understand.....as per XDA rules u need to READ before posting ....... STOCK phone is always recommended ......let's start with the easier way:
1. Put update.zip in your Sd Card
2. Reboot phone to recovery by power off your phone. Use combo Button ( VolUp+Home key+Power button) hold them together and when u feel vibration let go power button while still holding VolUP and Home key .....and then u would see samsung galaxy S4 black splash screen and small tiny reboot recovery..... on top left and u can let go both Vol Up and Home key......that's should bring u to android stock recovery.
3. choose apply update from external sd card.......yes to confirm ...... and reboot system when is done or it might reboot automatic.....Woollaa.....now u have 4.3 android MK2 firmware
But If doesn't work you need do these following in order for u to do adb sideload command:
4. U need Samsung USB driver install to your PC ......Install SAMSUNG KIES and plug your phone, it will install latest driver for your phone
5. Make sure u unable USB debugging mode on ur phone.....go to menu>settings>more> it should be on top of about device
( Developer options ) but if u dont have it go to about device and click build number 4/5 time....so that will unable developer options and CHECK USB DEBUGGING.
6. Make sure u have latest ADB ( Android Debugging Bridge ) version 1.0.31.... ANDROID SDK
7. Reboot to recovery>Apply Update From ADB....
8. Go to your PC>>>ADB folder>Shift+Right Click>Open Command Window Here
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb sideload update.zip[/COLOR][/B]
Well u might already knew all these step.......and hopefully this will get u to start.... if not, please PM me if u need anymore help.....

MK2_UNBRICKED_METHOD_(HARD-BRICKED)
FOLLOW THE GUIDE FROM gtj0 THAT I EDITED BELOW, PLEASE USE MF3>MK2 UPDATE.ZIP FROM OP IF U BRICKED FROM MK2 TO GET BACK TO STOCK MK2 AND PLEASE DONT FORGET THANK HIM ALSO....
gtj0 said:
OK, If you're stuck with an incomplete flash, here are some steps you can try to get to MJ9...
These instructions assume you started with MJ6.
First, make sure you can boot into recovery. If not, download and apply the MJ6 recovery.
recovery-mj6.tar.md5
It should apply without error. If not, report the failure.
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
If you don't already have it, download the mf3-mj9 update file...
update-mf3-mj9.zip
Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install recovery-mj6.tar.md5 or i337MK2stockRecovery.tar.md5 (also confirmed work with some users) via ODIN first if u stuck between step 6 and 7 since u are on DOWNLOADING MODE....and then force reboot to get u back to recovery if u coming from MK2 by using combo button (VolUp+Home+Power) or use this Odin Force Reboot .tar File to reboot
Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update via adb and open your adb command from computer and use MF3>MK2 update zip files from OP .....HOPE THIS HELP......
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
You should now have MK2. and last step is to Hit THANK button......

FOR >>>>>MK2 FULL ODIN FILES<<<<<
Downloading the file seems to be the whole 728MB Rom file and not just the small file to update from MJ9 to MK2, so I'd love to know if you know if this will just update after flashed or if it wipes all your data, I just created a new thread asking for something like this and explaining why I don't want to wipe and just prefer to Update.
If someone can confirm if flashing this will just update without wiping I'd appreciate it, thanks in advance.

I definitely remember the official MK2 OTA from at&t was over 700MB when I got it, so the size seems right. Plus full TW Roms are usually >1GB anyway.
adb sideload and it should just update and not wipe, but can't confirm this myself - already on mk2.

OK, I'm just saying that the Full MK2 that I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, the one to update from 4.2.2 to MK2 skipping MJ9 was that size, and I've read that the OTA update for the people already on MJ9 was 25 or 28MB, just a small update.

I think you're right, the MJ9 to MK2 was a small one but didn't you say you're on MF3 now? So this would be the file you need to get to MK2. And I'm almost positive this won't wipe data if you adb sideload, googling seems to confirm.

Problem is that I'm not root now, to be honest, this is a phone that is paid by my Company and I wasn't suppose to do anything with it, so when I decided to jump from 4.2.2 to 4.3 I knew that it was going to cost me the Root, but I decided that I needed to do it anyways, so for now, until further notice, I won't root.
So as you can see my phone is completely Stock, and I'm still getting the Software Interrupted error every time I try to update via OTA, so I don't see any other option but to try to sideload this update, problem is that without Titanium Backup, I will lose all my Data and I'm not willing to go though all the pain to restore all of it from scratch. So my mind is set just to do what I need to just Update without wiping.
So, if anybody try this, please, can you let us know here if you lose your data or if it just updates. Thanks a lot.

OK Just to satisfy my curiosity, I downloaded the whole file again, and try to sideload it on my MJ9 phone and it immediately error out, this file seems to be the same than the other one in the other thread, it will work only only if you are on 4.2.2. So for me and anybody else trying to update from 4.3 MJ9 to MK2, it's still a no go.

You could try updating through Kies...sometimes that's more reliable than OTA connections.

If I'm not mistaken. ... when u go to stock recovery..... the is an option for update via adb.....or something like that and u should be able to install update. Zip from there.. the only thing is I'm not sure if that would wipe your data or not but from adb sideload custom recovery it only wipe cache and dalvik cache as far I know. ...

Yes, that's what it's called sideload and that's what I tried earlier but like I mentioned then, it errors out immediately, and at least you can see that it's clearly asking for 4.2.2.
One more thing, I just hanged up with AT&T, the Technical Support checked everything there and it seems that everything should be in place for me to get the update, they did something and asked me to try it again, as soon as I enter the Update Menu I saw a message saying something like DZ initialization, I have seen that just before we get the OTA, so I asked her and she told me that it was because of what she did, so I should be good to get any update available, and as soon as I tried it I got the same old Software Update Interrupted.
She told me that they will call me tomorrow with other more advanced technical Department to try to see what may be causing this.
I'll give them a quick look over, but I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon using these until somebody more versed then me confirms it's legit.
They look legit, but it's for normal recovery mode not Odin in case anyone was trying to do that.
Here's the file tree if anyone is interested, and doesn't want to download it...

Yeah your right, I'm not thinking properly... kept forgetting these are the update files, not restore files. Though I assume they could be turned into Odin files given the right person.
For those of you with my same issue, updated to mj9 and getting errors while trying to update to Mk2, . Please follow my other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573637 and look for the link on post #3, finally found the update file and I'm already at MK2.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SMT530NU... which Twrp device name?

Okay was able to successfully root my Samsung Galaxy SMT530NU, I have TWRP downloaded but how do you find the correct device name for this device so I do not install the wrong file and brick my device?
I have the 10.1" SMT530NU and rooted with Towelroot.
Hopefully TWRP will work for recovery, but before I move further I wanted to turn to the forum for support. Thanks much!

As far as I know TAB 4 still don't have TWRP support , I'm also waitin for my T331
Is there any custom recovery available for this Tab? It seems support for the tablets are slow so far, maybe because it is new? Not even sure how long it has been out for.
I am learning Java coding now and intend to start contributing to the community at some point.
I'm glad I was able to get it rooted at least.
It's been out since early may, just not enough interest.
SM-T530NU Tab 4 10.1 Wifi model
I dont understand why there wouldnt be interest for these android tablets. They are some of the most powerful on the market. Honestly they should be hot **** right now. I think basically they are not in the right hands because they are still fairly new and expensive. With a proper recovery and some nice roms and overclock support it would be super beast. I just got my tab 4 10.1 model: SM-T530NU last night. Traded a laptop and my HP Touchpad 10 inch tablet for it. I got it rooted with towelroot no problem. Also went through and got rid of knox and samsung apps i didnt want. Im currently on 4.4.2 and saw there was an update but i'm going to wait on that. How would one go about building a proper TWRP and build at least a cyanogenmod rom for it? I have one and am willing to test or whatever to get something going. I would need someone with knowhow to teach me
Don't take the ota update it kills Towelroot.
Thanks for the warning!

I read somewhere that you can reroot if you replace the original boot.img i want to say it was. then you could root with towelroot, and then copy the new boot.img back on and root will stay. worth a try if you updated and still want root. you flash the file with odin. I could upload the boot.img from mine if we have the same one
Also, what version are you running now after updating? Is there a way to get this update to take a look at it? The SM-T530NU source from samsung is kitkat, not sure when it was uploaded, and im guessing it's the 4.4.2 i have now.
It appears the Source code from samsung is 4.4.1 which should be plenty to get a recovery working? How do we get more attention and someone with more knowhow to take a look at this? If we had a working recovery id at least try to port cyanogenmod to our device. i would test a real devs recovery but not trying myself with that

no idea but the link in post #13 has the md5 file for 4.4.2
I can confirm that root still works fine on the latest September update for the SM-T530NU. i did everything with odin. first i grabbed the stock april update odin flashable file along with the september update. i installed the new update and root was killed. i flashed the april update boot.img over the new update boot.img with odin. i reran towelroot and it rooted. i then flashed the boot.img back from the september update and all was good. newest update from samsung with working root. took me all of 10 minutes to do. holler if you need a hand
semi-working recovery and source can be found at

[Dec-24-2016] H850 20A DeOdexed

Your warranty is now void, don't blame me if your phone blows up blahblahblah.
Only system and kernel are being flashed, no Modem, BL, etc. You should update to 20A before using.
Have not tested this myself, due to not owning the H850. edit: flashed it on T-Mobile 830 for fun with 830 boot, no surprise, didn't work.
Decided to post anyway. If your going to use it, BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP
Based off of 20A Complete zip from @autoprime. Only things touched are bootanimation (pixel black) and renamed recovery-from-boot.bak. It's also been zip-aligned.
Flash in recovery, profit??
SuperSu and Busybox included. Only /system is wiped, data left alone.
Can dirty flash over current 20A if you like.
Any errors, etc, would most likely be related to deodexing as all files are stock.- Again, haven't tested this one myself
Link: H850_20A_DeOdexed
MD5: bb58ff90c21bbc09b4d0f1c132fa91b3
If anyone would like to use this as a base, Great! Would appreciate some credit. [emoji3]
Enjoy.
Optional: Adjust Screen Color , Fluence HD Patch
Credits: @autoprime for stock zip. @Chainfire for supersu. @SuperR. for the kitchen. @Tilde88 for pointing me in the right direction. @PlayerZ_ZawZaw for bootanimation. @jcadduono for TWRP.
It's people like them that make Android great!
Finally, thanks to Google/LG & XDA.

Let me know if you end up trying it. I'll update OP and give you credit.
Right on! So this should work well with FluenceHD, potentially trying to bring myself to update to Nougat, but man Xposed has some pretty clutch tools, and reverting back to marshmallow I'm reading is a few more steps than I would like to take in a given night, you know if I decide that no ads on YouTube and background playback is worth giving up...
Still thank you for uploading and I will report back if I decide to pause Xposed in my day to day

It'd be nice if you could dual boot it alongside MM (wishful thinking). Don't think the kernel would boot on the old bootloader....maybe someone with more knowledge can help, or a daredevil could just try to flash it. The older MM modem should still work though, maybe. Shouldn't hurt? if your flashing in dual boot or just through TWRP normally because there's no modem, BL etc being flashed just system&boot.
Now with my old S4 there was no problem running an older BL with newer kernels, but this phone....idk.
Received error while flashing, code 7, seems it couldn't locate a certain filesystem and aborts installation

Ok, just downloaded 850 20A checked MD5, then replaced boot.img with 830. Flashed fine, no problems. Wouldn't boot though....no surprise really.
Have you checked the md5? could be a bad download, it is mega after all. Can't think of another reason why it would flash here but not on yours....

Ok, just downloaded 850 20A checked MD5, then replaced boot.img with 830. Flashed fine, no problems. Wouldn't boot though....no surprise really.

Yeah md5 is good... I'll send you a TWRP log later or possibly just forget about it if 20b works
Thanks again!
