I decided to finally root my Wifi only Galaxy Tab 4, 16 gig. To my understanding it is the T330. It had the latest OTA - 5.1.1 I believe?
After installing TWRP and trying to flash SuperSU it won't boot past the Samsung logo.
I did the following:
Prior to today I have had the USB drivers installed
Downloaded and extracted ODIN 3.0.9
Downloaded TWRP 2.8.7 Tar file for the T3xx series
Downloaded SuperSU zip file for version 2.46
I opened up ODIN, unchecked the "Auto Reboot" box (after seeing elsewhere that it was needed when flashing the recovery), checked the box for "AP" and selected the .tar file for TWRP. I clicked start, everything went correctly, I removed the USB cable and manually restarted the device by holding the power button. Once it was off I then held the power button, volume up, and home button to boot into recovery, and to my excitement I was greeted with TWRP. So far it looked like it was going according to plan. A screen came up saying that the system was currently read only, and it was giving me the choice to allow the recovery to change it. I swiped to allow it to change it so the system partitions were not read only. I went to the install option, and selected the SuperSU zip file. Installed it, it said that it installed correctly. I went back to the main menu and rebooted the device. That's when things did NOT go according to plan. It played the nice little boot sound, the animated Samsung logo came up, and I waited. I waited some more. I continued to wait. After 10 minutes of the Samsung animation repeating I assumed that trouble was afoot and turned the tablet off and attempted to get back into recovery, which it did. I then turned it off and checked to see if I could still get into Download Mode: and it can and the PC can see it as connected when I load up ODIN.
So I have the tablet soft bricked. My goal was to have it rooted with custom recovery to install roms.
If that's not possible, I assume my best bet would be to use ODIN to push the Samsung files over and flash it back to factory that way, undoing what I have done?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I tried to be as detailed as possible to assist anyone who may be willing to help. :)
