I am making available the Nandroid backup of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 T530NN. I searched the net and did not find this available in any format. I have tested this and it will work if installed properly. This Backup will probably work in other Recovery packages, but has only been tested in TWRP 3.0.0-0. You're welcome to re-install any Recovery you wish afterward.
Instructions:
1) Install TWRP 3.0.0-0 (Use the Matisse variant for the T530NN) and boot directly into Recovery.
2) Backup your current configuration. This process WILL wipe everything!
3) Using Android File Transfer or ADB, upload the folder from the expanded Stock_5.0.2_Nandroid_LRX22G.T530NNUEU1BOJ3.zip file to the folder /TWRP/Backup/<your device's serial number>/ of either the Internal Storage, or SD Card, whichever you did your Backup to in step 2..
4) Select Wipe to wipe the Data, Cache and Dalvik partitions.
5) Still in TWRP Recovery, select Restore to restore the Stock_5.0.2_Nandroid_LRX22G.T530NNUEU1BOJ3 package. This will overwrite Everything! You can probably get by with selecting only the System, but I saved everything to be sure to get a full reset to stock.
6) Reboot into Recovery again to allow TWRP to make adjustments to the System to keep it rooted.
7) Reboot into System. This will take you through the initial setup to activate your Gmail account and such.
8) Install SuperSU from the Play Store to complete the Rooting. If you'd rather render the tablet un-rooted, that option is in SuperSU's Settings.
I hope I posted this correctly. If not, I welcome admins to properly chastise me.

Ran into this issue as I'm running a custom recovery and couldn't flash the update. Took the time to figure out how to do this properly as I couldn't find any existing set of instructions and I'm sure some people will want them.
WARNING: Flashing this update WILL reset root and the recovery partition. These steps restore both. Restoring custom recovery will require a PC with ADB installed as I was only able to find the raw .img file and not a flashable .zip.
1). Download full update zip by navigating to Settings > About tablet > System updates > Check full update (http://i.imgur.com/ozGBzKZ.png)
2). After update is finished downloading, navigate to /data/data/com.nvidia.ota/files/ROM (I used Root Explorer) and move the downloaded update to either your internal or external storage card. DO NOT TAP THE NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS TAP HERE TO INSTALL UPDATE!
3). Download flashable SuperSU.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
4). Download CWM recovery.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi.../recovery-cwm-recovery-nvidia-shield-t2848064
5). Reboot recovery
6). Make a nandroid backup in recovery first before doing anything
7). Flash full update archive (DO NOT REBOOT AFTERWARDS)
8). Flash SuperSU archive (this will restore root)
9). Follow instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/root-root-lollipop-t2945044 to use dd to restore custom recovery through adb shell.
10). Wipe cache/dalvik
11). Reboot!
In the off chance that you screw something up and need to force your tablet back into recovery mode manually, the button combo is Power + Volume Down. Also, I was able to dirty flash (not wipe data first) and everything seems to be working fine. As far as the update goes, audio/wifi is working without issue and if anything, the tablet seems more responsive (doesn't slow down/lock up as much). I literally pounded out these instructions after getting my tablet updated so I haven't had a chance to mess around with it much yet.
Using 6.0.5.0 r8 CWM recovery.Everytime I enable TDB with MIUI 7 installed and move data to system 2.All the gapps and some other apps like browser disappear from MIUI 7(present in system 2).I've tried both with taking a backup and restoring(to system 2) and also with fresh install of MIUI 7 to system 2 but even then the same error occur.
What may be the problem?Has any one faced the same issue and resolved it?
On a second note,I tried using 6.0.5.1 r11 recovery but there is no option of 'current system' present in advanced options.Why is that?
That's CWM bug. Use CWM R7 Final recovery
To get dual boot working you have to perform steps in this order.
1) Assuming you have MIUI working, go to recovery and make nandroid backup of it. (If not then flash MIUI & then make nandroid backup)
2) perform wipe/factory reset from recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, format both systems
3) now enable TDB from advance settings
4) reboot recovery (you will see fixing TDB on system 1, 2)
5) Flash custom ROM (only that works with stock partition) on System 1
6) boot and setup (I am not sure if its necessary to boot)
7) go back to recovery and restore nandroid backup of MIUI on system 2
I wouldn't recommend dual boot, its buggy. Makes phone slow over the time.
Better wait for MultiROM mod which is already in development for MI4
Hello everyone. I have come up with a lazy way to install custom ROM (such as Cyanogenmod) in *most* phone (I tried this on S3mini and Galaxy MEGA). Please note that this method moght not work on your phone and I am not responsible for bricking your phone.
Things you need:
-Your phone, fully charged
-Your precious time (About 30-60minutes)
-One click root app (I use Kingroot, download it with apk) (You may use other apps, of course)
-TWRP manager from playstore
-ZIP file of TWRP in latest version (V3?)
-ZIP file of the custom ROM matching the version of your device
-ZIP file of GApps matching the version of the custom ROM (Google for gapps and download it)
Steps:
1. Backup your personal information
Copy your personal information such as music, photo, documents out of your phone (e.g.: Cloud drive, USB, SD card). Safety first.
2. Root your phone
Download Kingroot and install the apk with package installer. Run the app and follow the instruction in the app to root.
3. Install TWRP manager
After rooting, install TWRP manager. In the app, install TWRP that match your device.
4. Create a backup for your phone
Boot your phone into recovery (Every phone have different method, so please google about this). In TWRP, press 'Backup' to create the backup.
5. Flash the latest version of TWRP
As the TWRP manager does not offer the latest version of TWRP, you have to flash the latest version by installing ZIP. The latest version of TWRP can install ROM with higher success rate.
To do this, press 'Install' in TWRP. Find the ZIP file of TWRP in latest version and install it.
6. Reboot your device to Recovery mode
7. Wipe your device
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache, Dalvik Cache, System and Data partition and wipe them.
8. Flash custom ROM
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the Custom ROM ZIP and install it.
9. Flash GApps
Most custom ROM does not have Google apps such as play stote, so you have to install it.
In TWRP, press 'Install'. Select the GApps ZIP and install it.
10. Wipe Cache and dalvik cache
In TWRP, press 'Wipe'. Select Cache and Dalvik Cache partition and wipe them.
11. Reboot your device
Now the ROM should be properly installed. First boot might take longer, so please wait patiently.
Shall you brick your phone, try to recover by using backup created in step 4.
PS: I am a newbie here and this is my first guide
While you have to wipe your device to flash the custom rom, it will wipe your data, including the actual Gapps and rom. This shows that your method won't work.

FAQ
Q: Instructions unclear, phone stuck in bootloop
A: Either do this:
Download this folder and use one of the two ".bat" files. Boot into Bootloader via Volume Down and Power Button. --
It will flash S048 Firmware of our Lenovo P2, after the flash-process is finished it will boot up on its own. Recommended: Do all the ota updates via ota app.
Or: Boot into bootloader, via adb cmd prompt use: fastboot boot lineagerecovery.img , then use reboot menu to reboot into twrp. Clean Wipe phone(Wipe system,data, cache and dalvik-cache Partitions) and try flashing your Rom etc. again.

Hi there
NOTE: please follow this steps one by one.
Disclaimer: i am not responsible if your device got bricked, i use this method for my samsung galaxy A20e and it works.
well when i wanted to flash a custom rom for the first time, i didn't find any steps to follow, i just picked out the rom then flash it via twrp and rebooted and that was a big mistake, the rom booted but i wasn't able to do anything, so today you will see the right way to flash .
First of all, you need to have twrp installed.
then download the rom version that you want for example, i used this rom for my device: https://sourceforge.net/projects/derpfest/files/a20e/
next put the file that you have downloaded in an sdcard.
then reboot to recovery, you can do it by powering off your phone then hold the volume up and power keys until you see twrp's logo.
click wipe option, the advanced, after that check all the partitions there except sdcard and usb-otg (and vendor if it is not included), for my device i wiped system, vendor, data, cache, dalvik and cache, but it may be different for you, now swipe to the right to confirm wiping.
when the wiping process has been finished, exit advanced wipe and choose format data, you will be asked if you are sure, type yes.
go back to the main twrp window, then select flash, click select storage and choose sdcard(or usb-otg if you are using it), then you will see the zip file and install it.
reboot and that's it !! it is depending on your phone's speed now, just be patience.
enjoy your time in that rom, cause you will change it soon *__*.
