Hi! I am new to this forum and android as well ( IOS user)..
My question is: Can Galaxy Tab S 8.4 be rooted atm?
I am about to buy Mint condition tab S 8.4 from somebody and I do not know what android version it is running on.
I know in IOS, if you update your device to newest IOS version, you cannot jailbreak until new jailbreak is released. Is it same with android, as well?
(I heard you can still root it even with newest firmware etc..)
Please if you be kind, leave me a link to the latest guide. Thanks.

Hey, all so just for some context I have on me a Samsung Tab 4 - SM-T230NU
That I been trying to find a ROM for so that I can upgrade the Android OS on it.
Unfortunately, I am finding that is a no go, there are no ROMs at least that I can find for it that newer then Kitkat
So now I am asking
Is it possible on a rooted Android Device to run apps strictly made for newer versions of Android?
Thank you for your time
Guys, I am new to this forum. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (7 inch) T231 is running on very old Android KitKat version 4.4.2. This is the last official OS update received. Many apps are not supported on this old android.
Please provide a stable Lineage OS version, ROM file link and whole process to install.
I will be ok with installing Lineage OS version 13 and above (i.e. Marshmallow 6 and above), which ever is most stable.
Thank you in advance.

Since you are new, a few words...
People may understand your request different, like one understands "is there some out there who can help me and how can I help..." and others may understand "give me that ROM, you are there to provide me stuff..." So better be slightly "overpolite".
Developers and development teams just share their work on XDA and improve it based on the feedback the users or other developers give them. We can be happy, that XDA is a big development hub and have to be very respectful. :good:
The Tab 4 is a very old device, in my case I just use it as a small power bank. Display resolution, RAM, system speed... however, developing may be suspended and you cannot expect newer custom ROM releases.
I will explain quickly because Galaxy tab 4 7.0 variants don't get support.
8.0 and 10.1 models have SD400 (msm8226) SoC, 7.0 has a Marvell for the wifi variant and an Exynos for 3G and LTE variants. And it's easier to work on qcom-powered devices
I'm gonna go ahead an do what nobody else here would and answer your question. And it indeed works because I did it just last night. Just follow the link below

Hello
I have the Samsung galaxy tab 8.9 sch-739 this is the china model and I don't think it was sold anywhere else in the world because I didn't find any mention of this model in xda. this tablet is as good as dead because Samsung didn't update it to android ice cream sandwich. the last available update for this model is android 3.2.
I've tried to revive it by flashing multiples gt-pt7300 custom ROMs such as cm 11 and asop nougat " same tablet but from different region". these ROMs worked perfectly for the china model except for the sound. I can't for the life of me understand why the sound didn't work. I've looked everywhere from xda to Chinese forums and did a ton of research but to no avail.
it would be such a waste to let this tablet die off especially since there's a decent chance that this sound problem can be fixed if someone knowledgeable enough looks into it
This tablet was released 22 March, 2011, according to Samsung its Android is upgradable to Android 4: You use Kies 2.6 to do so.

Are you sure it's the this specific model " sch-739" ? cause I'm pretty sure it never got the android 4 update. other galaxy tab 8.9 tabs on the hand did get that update
I'm not sure.
My recommendation: Post Samsung your issue.
Hello Everyone,
I have a tablet of the Samsung brand.
Samsung T230, Galaxy Tab4 7.0 Wi-Fi (SM-T230)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 - Full tablet specifications
www.gsmarena.com
Looking at all the posts that have ROMS available, I am confused as to select which one.
I am looking for a stable release of the most latest version possible which will perform the following.
1. Removed Bloatware
2. Improved Performance
3. Updated Youtube and Youtube Kids
4. Wi-Fi should work
I saw quite a few ROMS however, some are saying that they only work Snapdragon versions, some degaswifi mentioned which is a new word for me.
I would appreciate anyone who could assist in selection. I am familiar with the process of getting root access and installing TWRP.
Please Help.
Thanks.
Hello!
I have searched for the same thing, but the android version no longer supports youtube, I have to use an alternative client. NewPipe is good.
As for the ROM, I use "cm-11-20211124-UNOFFICIAL-degaswifi", it has a slightly updated part.
DEGASWIFI is the code name of the tablet.
I am also searching for the same thing i am from India can anyone help me for the same problem atleast i can make my childhood tab to something useful
