Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
Flashing Samsung firmware with Odin is a standard procedure once you have the correct files. This guide covers the necessary files for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 and the correct steps to use them.
Before starting, ensure you sign out of your Samsung account. This prevents the Knox security flag from triggering, which would make the device harder to fix later. Also, verify that your downloaded firmware is in the correct format (.tar.md5) and contains the necessary files (AP, BL, CP, CSC).
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 launched in 2014. Because of its age, USB drivers on newer Windows versions might require manual installation rather than plug-and-play. The stock software runs Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) with the TouchWiz UX interface. You must use the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 firmware package for this specific model to avoid errors.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 launched in 2014. This page is updated with the latest available firmware builds. We have verified the file integrity across two independent sources to confirm these are authentic, unmodified stock ROMs.
Your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 firmware comes as a compressed ZIP file. Download and extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. After extracting, you should see files named like AP_*.tar.md5, BL_*.tar.md5, CP_*.tar.md5, and CSC_*.tar.md5 (or HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5). If you do not see these files, you may have the wrong firmware package for your device.
Flashing replaces your current software completely and wipes all personal data. This is by design, it is what clears out FRP locks, bootloops, pattern locks, app crashes, and other software-level problems that a regular reset cannot fix.
Remove FRP Lock on Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239
Use an Android apps launcher to bypass the Google account lock on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239. This method allows you to access settings during the setup wizard. Our free Android apps launcher is the fastest way to get past this screen. This is why I always recommend removing your Google account before flashing, it avoids this problem entirely.
How to Wipe Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 to Factory Settings
Power off the device completely, then hold Volume Up + Power (for older models with a Home button, use Volume Up + Home + Power) at the same time until the recovery menu appears. Use the volume keys to navigate to “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” and confirm with the Power button.
A hard reset erases all data and restores Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 to its original factory state. This fixes most software problems, slow performance, app crashes, forgotten screen locks, and bootloops. If the issue persists after a factory reset, a full firmware flash using Odin is covered in the following sections.
How to Pick the Correct Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 Firmware
Using the wrong firmware for your specific variant causes the most errors. Before downloading anything, verify your exact device identity:
- Identify Your Exact Model Number: Go to Settings › About Phone and note your full model number (e.g. SM-T239). The letter suffix matters, U/U1 = USA, W = Canada, N = Korea, B/F = International/Global. Flashing firmware built for a different variant can cause issues.
- Match the CSC (Region): The 3-letter region code in the firmware filename must match your device. Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or look at the Service Provider line in Download Mode. Common codes: XAA (US), BTU (UK), INS (India), SER (Russia).
- Check the Binary Level: Look at the version string in your current firmware (e.g.
XXU9BZDP, the number after the letters is the binary level). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher firmware. - Confirm the Build Date: The last 4 characters of the PDA version encode the build date, first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), second is the month (A=Jan through L=Dec).
- Verify in Download Mode: Power off, hold Volume Down + Power to enter Download Mode. This screen shows your exact model, CSC, and current firmware version, use this to confirm before flashing.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
Use this table to find the right file for your situation. Find your problem in the first column and follow the recommendation in the second:
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | XU0AOJ2, download this one. It is the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 firmware available. |
| FRP / Google account lock only | See the FRP bypass guide above, you likely do not need the full firmware for this. |
| Not sure which region/CSC to download | Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or enter Download Mode (Volume Down + Power), it shows the CSC on screen. Match the 3-letter code (e.g. XAA, BTU, INS) to the firmware filename. |
| Phone slow after a recent OTA update | Try the next older version, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. Make sure the binary level is the same or higher than what your device currently has. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash XU0AOJ2 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| XU0AOJ2 failed with a flash error | Try the next older version instead and double-check your AP/BL/CP/CSC file assignments in Odin before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | XU0AOJ2, clean state, fresh start. |
To tell which Samsung firmware is newer, look at the last 4 characters of the PDA version string (e.g. S938BXXU9CZDP). The first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), the second is the month (A=Jan, B=Feb… L=Dec, Z=final stable), and the last two are the revision (0-9 then A-Z, where Z is highest). But before comparing dates, always check the binary level: the digit just before the date code (e.g. XXU9CZDP = Binary 9). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher. Also make sure the 3-letter CSC code in the firmware matches your device region.

Important: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 (SM-T239) should not be confused with other Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “SM-T239” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- The model code on your phone must match SM-T239 exactly. Even a single letter variant (like adding or dropping an “i” or “s”) can mean a different chipset inside.
- Your chipset should be Samsung Exynos 3 Quad 3470 (Quad-core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A7). Recovery mode shows this information if you are not sure.
- Do not mix firmware from other download sites with the files on this page.
- If the downloaded file is much smaller than what is listed in the table above, re-download it, partial files will fail.
Prepare Your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 for Flashing
Go through this list before you open Odin for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239. Two things that commonly cause problems with Samsung devices: a Samsung account that was not signed out before flashing, which can trigger KG lock, and a USB cable that works for charging but drops the connection mid-flash. Always use a proper data cable, not a charge-only cable.
- IMEI Backup: Open the dialer and enter *#06#. Write both IMEI numbers down on paper or take a screenshot. If you ever need to repair your IMEI after flashing, these are essential.
- Remove All Google Accounts: Go to Settings, Accounts, and sign out of every Google account on the device. Leaving accounts signed in triggers FRP lock after a flash, which blocks you from setting up the phone.
- Remove Samsung Accounts: Sign out of all Samsung accounts to avoid KG lock.
- Backup Everything: Photos, contacts, messages, WhatsApp data, move it all to a computer or cloud service. The flash will restore the phone to factory state with nothing on it.
- 50% Battery Minimum: Do not start with a low battery. If power cuts out during the flash, the device can become unresponsive and much harder to fix.
- USB Cable and Computer: Use a proper data-transfer USB cable and a Windows PC. Avoid USB hubs, connect directly to the motherboard port for a stable connection.
- Download and Install Drivers:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 Firmware Installation Guide
We are using Odin for this. A quick tip: keep “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” both checked in Odin, those two options together give you the cleanest flash result. If you are not sure which Odin version to use, check our Odin versions page. Some older Samsung devices work better with older Odin builds.
- Download the Firmware Package:
- Use the download links in the table above to get the correct firmware file for your device.
- Extract the archive with WinRAR or 7-Zip. Use a short folder path like
D:flashto avoid issues with some tools.
- Check Drivers:
- All drivers from the prerequisites must be installed before connecting your device. Restart your computer after installing them.
- Load the Firmware File:
- In Odin, click “BL” and select the BL_*.tar.md5 file. Click “AP” and select the AP_*.tar.md5 file. Repeat for “CP” and “CSC”. Use HOME_CSC to keep data, or CSC for a clean flash.
- Connect Your Device:
- Enter Download Mode: Turn off your phone, then hold Volume Down + Power (add Home button on older models) until the warning screen appears. Press Volume Up to confirm and enter Download Mode.
- Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin should show “Added..” in the log area, this means your device is detected.
- Start Flashing:
- Press “Start” to begin writing the firmware to your device.
- Do not unplug the phone, close the flash tool, or interact with the device until the process is 100% complete.
- Wait and Reboot:
- After the tool confirms the flash is complete, safely disconnect your phone.
- Press the power button to start your device. The initial boot is slow, wait up to 8 minutes before assuming there is a problem.

Common Issues When Flashing Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239
- Odin Shows “FAIL” Instead of “PASS”:
- This is usually a mismatch between the firmware region or model and your device. Confirm your exact model number in Settings › About Phone before selecting the firmware. Even a single letter difference in the model code matters.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 Not Recognized by Odin:
- Reinstall the Samsung USB drivers. Make sure you are in Download Mode. Try a different USB cable, Odin can be sensitive to cable quality.
- KG Lock / Knox Triggered After Flashing:
- This happens when a Samsung account was still signed in before flashing, or when unofficial firmware was used. Always sign out of Samsung accounts before flashing. If KG lock is already active, a professional unlocking tool is generally needed.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) and perform a factory reset. This clears any leftover data from the previous firmware that may be causing the conflict.
After Flashing: What Happens Next on Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: Odin will show “PASS.” in green text at the top-left of the log area. If you see this, everything went fine.
- Storage will show almost full capacity available since all your apps and files are gone. The system partition size varies by firmware version but is typically 4 to 8 GB on most devices.
- The phone will feel warm during first boot, this is normal. It settles after a few minutes once the initial app setup is complete.
- Be careful when re-adding your Google account, if you did not remove it before flashing, you may see an FRP prompt. Add it fresh during the setup wizard, not afterwards through Settings.
- Fingerprint and face unlock data are erased during the flash. You will need to re-register your fingerprints and face data from scratch in the security settings.
- The phone may ask for language and region again, this is normal after a flash. You are starting from a clean state, so the setup wizard runs just like when the phone was brand new.
- Stuck in a bootloop after first boot? Enter recovery mode and do a factory reset from there, see the hard reset guide above. This can happen occasionally and does not mean the firmware is wrong.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 After Flashing?
A missing IMEI on a Samsung device after flashing usually points to a corrupted EFS partition, this is the partition that stores your IMEI and carrier settings. Note that restoring an IMEI that is not your original number is illegal in most countries, so only do this if you are restoring the number the device had before you flashed. Tools like ChimeraTool or BFT can help with this. Check your local laws before proceeding.

Questions About Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 Firmware
Q1: Can I go back to an older firmware version?
A: It is technically possible on some Exynos builds, but downgrading can cause security issues and app compatibility problems. If the latest version is causing trouble, leave a comment below, there is usually a better fix than rolling back.
Q2: What if the flash fails halfway through?
A: Do not panic and do not disconnect the phone. Close Odin, restart it, and try the flash again from the beginning. In most cases, a failed flash just means the process needs to be repeated. The device is usually still detectable by the flash tool even after a failed attempt.
Q3: Is it safe to flash during a power outage risk?
A: It is best to avoid flashing during unstable power conditions. If your PC shuts down during the flash, it can corrupt the write and leave the phone in an unbootable state. If you are in an area with unreliable power, use a laptop with a fully charged battery instead of a desktop.
Q4: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with Odin restores the device to factory state, including Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), TouchWiz UX UI default settings. All apps, photos, contacts, and accounts will be removed. Back up everything you need before you start. There is no way to recover data once the flash is complete.
Q5: What should I do if I encounter an FRP lock after flashing?
A: Use our free Android apps launcher. FRP lock activates when a Google account was still signed in before flashing. This is why signing out of your Google account before flashing avoids this issue entirely.
Q6: How long does the flashing process take?
A: The actual flash usually takes between 3 and 10 minutes depending on the firmware size and USB connection speed. The first boot after flashing takes another 3 to 8 minutes. Do not interrupt the device during either stage. If the progress bar in Odin appears stuck, give it a few more minutes before assuming something went wrong.
Q7: Will flashing void my warranty?
A: Flashing official stock firmware generally does not void your warranty since you are restoring the device to its factory-intended state. However, some manufacturers may flag that the bootloader was unlocked or that the flash counter increased. Check your specific warranty terms with Samsung support if you are concerned.
Q8: Is this firmware compatible with other Samsung models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE SM-T239 running on the Samsung Exynos 3 Quad 3470 (Quad-core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A7) chipset. Even variants of the Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 LTE with a different letter suffix can have a completely different chipset inside. Flashing the wrong firmware can leave your phone in a state that is very difficult to recover from. Always check your exact model number in Settings.
