I am trying to root a Samsung Galaxy 4 tab 7". The box says SM-T230NU with the label "Model: SM-T230NYKMXAR". I got drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-T230NYKUXAR which is a slightly different number (has a U instead of M) but matches (ie. Samsung Galaxy Tab® 4 7.0 8GB, Black). I installed these and the device connected to the PC with no problems. Using Odin 3.07, it detects the device. I click the PDA button and select CF-Auto_Root.tar, then Start and I get this error:
Firmware update start..  
 recovery.img  
 NAND Write Start!!   
 cache.img.ext4  
 FAIL!  
 All now when I restart I get this message:
Now when I restart I get this message:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.   
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I downloaded and installed Kies 3. When I run it, it says "The connected device is not supported by Kies 3". It should be, this is 4.4 KitKat. So I tried Kies 2.6, and it doesn't connect either. It doesn't give this error message, just keeps trying to connect but doesn't. What can I do now?
