Hi,
Do you know if anyone has made progress on this? I understand that just rooting and downloading a USB Host controller App won't be enough but have not seen any custom kernels in the dedicated Development forum here on XDA...
help with rooting samsung galaxy tab 4 sm231
Hi guys,
can any one help me in rooting samsung galaxy tab 4 smt t231?
i have searched a lot of places, used vroot and root genius methods which have failed. can some one point me with right instructions ??
Thank you in advance

Surprised....
I just found out after my root it has marvell as well
So ALL tab 4 7 are marvell soc? Just curious.
If so.. a hotplug governor in the kernel should be feasible (I don't see that.. but pxa988 has it)..
Type : T230

Code:
ro.product.model=SM-T230
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=degaswifixx
ro.product.device=degaswifi
ro.product.board=PXA1088
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.bootloader=T230XXU0ANG2
Is this really as big of a deal as it sounds? I mean, even my Nook Tablet, which I bought years ago, can still play most of the games (using Custom ROM that enhances this tablet of course). I can't imagine this new Tab4 tablet would have issues running any games/apps even if it's not snapdragon.
Of course, if it means that we won't have custom ROMs for this tablet (I saw this mentioned somewhere in this thread), then yea that would suck, but I would think that custom ROMs will come. I mean, we've always found ways around things, and we are talking about a relatively popular tablet here. When there's demand, it's likely to come true.

The issue isn't finding a way around it we do have capable people to do this. The issue is the fact that Samsung came out with the tab s, tab 4 marvell and tab 4 Qualcomm. Too many options makes interest less. Making less devs to work on Marvell. When there are easier options. We should have several stock based Roms I would think though.

So we might not have any custom roms because of the processor is a

I just don't understand why that processor would slow down development on this device

The tab 3 has a Marvell PXA869
And it Is just now getting a usable cm11 a year later
My hopes is that this effort can translate into this tab as well.
But people have to realize we may be on touchwiz based ROMs for the practical life of this device.
Like I said we have the devs but the interest is what will cost us.

S**t man Ive just ordered this device and it will be comming in the next days.. Didnt knew this had a Marvell CPU.. I read somewhere else it had Qualcomm SoC and Adreno.. Anyway hope to see some development here.. Good luck finding Marvell drivers!
GC vivante 1000 use tegra extension. Some games based tegra devices can run without problems on tab 3 and 4. And chipset of tab 3 is PXA986 not 869. Some information on gsmarena are incorrect.

If any dev here want Marvell drivers. I find some libs and drivers for GC vivants series

Ok so I've been rooting/jailbreaking/flashing for almost 10 years now and only have tempered into the developing fields ever so often, but I think this may be my calling..
If you guys want to all team together on certain critera that needs to be established, I'm down for that! I'm a stubborn Italian who will not take "NO" for an answers, so when it comes to flashing custom ROM's for our beloved Tab 4 7.0's, I'm willing to put in the time and effort to get this ball rolling.. If the Tab 3 has a very similar processor, and is on CM11 then I'd believe we indeed are not that far away ourselves from Custom ROM's..
Question 1. Where do we begin, and what has been recognized thus far?
Question 2. What's the difference between the Tab 3 processor, and our Tab 4 processors?
Question 3. Has this been taken to the CM site and asked for help?
Question 4. Is it a simple case of not having the right "know-how" and getting this in front of the right person?
Thanks!

I am not a dev nor will I ever be. But I believe the problem is with not having all the needed code disclosed for this chip sets kernel, then making the necessary commits to cm for it to compile on our devices.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

8Based on @sw6lee 's build.prop information, Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 powered by Marvell PXA1088 SoC.
Also confirmed by Vivante: http://vivantecorp.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/vivante-powers-samsung-galaxy-tab-4/ . Vivante is the GPU maker for PXA1088 SoC, GC1000.Code:ro.product.model=SM-T230NU ro.product.brand=samsung ro.product.name=degaswifiue ro.product.device=degaswifiue ro.product.board=PXA1088 ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a ro.bootloader=T230NUUEU0ANE2 ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi ro.product.manufacturer=samsung ro.product.locale.language=en ro.product.locale.region=GB ro.wifi.channels= ro.board.platform=mrvl
More information about PXA1088: http://www.marvell.com/communication-processors/pxa1088/features.jsp
I experienced working for PXA988 device Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 in kernel level, though I don't own this device. Based on Marvell, PXA1088 platform compatible to PXA988, both powered by Vivante GC1000 GPU. Some information for you:
- Tab 3 7.0 ramdisk size limited to 1MB from the bootloader, too small for custom recovery
- No USB host support, hardware limitation
- No AOSP reference out there, it's hard to build a custom ROM
Somehow only xz compressed boot/recovery image manage to boot Tab 3 7.0 :laugh:
Tab 4 7 owner, it's a good idea to upload your device boot.img and recovery.img here. I'll investigate it for you :good: Give me your device "cat /proc/cmdline" output.3
I have downloaded Tab 4 7.0 firmware and managed to unpack the boot.img .2
For now I am only interested in the Tab 4 7.0 to open a possibility to bring back Tab 4 7.0 update to Tab 3 7.0 .2Ok so I've been rooting/jailbreaking/flashing for almost 10 years now and only have tempered into the developing fields ever so often, but I think this may be my calling..

I´m a freak about these phones and I dedicated a yt channel to it www.youtube.com/allabouthegalaxybeam if ur interested. Anyway. I didn´t have problems when it comes to gaming or Full HD playback. And when I mean gaming I mean gaming on the built-in projector on 100 inch connected to my ps3 controller I played GTA San Andreas without probs like that. Only thing is that u need to cool the phone when u plan to game for longer. I really want to have CM on this phone. So my dev friend told me to do some research in order to help him on CM. I did a fundraising for the previous BEAM, so I thought of doing the same on the BEAM 2. I also looked for devs on freelancer, odesk and elance but the best "deal" for a custom CM12 that I could get was 3000 USD. And most of these people on freelancer sites u can´t trust. So sources research for this CM on BEAM 2 project started today for me. And like that I found this thread here. And the only devices that have the px1088 are listed here:
Galaxy Tab 4.7.0
HP Slate 6 Voice Tab 2
HP Slate 7 VoiceTab
HP Slate 6 VoiceTab
and the Galaxy BEAM 2 SM-G3858 which is not listed
Source: http://system-on-a-chip.specout.com/l/162/Marvell-PXA1088 After some short research I found no custom roms or cm versions for these tablets
So yeah, it would be sweet if we could all work together to realize a Custom ROM for the PXA1088. There was a chinese dev which did some kind of custom rom on the BEAM 2 already. But its a bit hard to communicate with him as I dont know yet who he is So I assume he must have had some knowledge about the marvell SoC.
