There is a couple of options for the WiFi only version of the 7" Tab 3.
The Sprint connected one has only been available for a couple of days.

Yours is not the same. Not the same CPU either or GPU yours is msm8930 . You will probably need a recovery before you can root it. Only other msm8930 devices I know are s4 mini and Galaxy Mega they may have ways of rooting without recoveries

What is msm8930??? My galaxy tab 3 model number is sm-t217s. Thanks but you lost me with that msm8930. And yes putting a recovery might work since I just found out this model number sm-t217s has been unlocked. But please do explain on what is msm8930?

You can get root.
I have been looking for this since I got the device, and just got ROOT! (To confirm, I have the SPRINT Galaxy Tab 3, SM-T217S. Other Tabs may or may not work.)
To get root, I just went to: the KingoApp(.com) website (I have to break up the URL because I am a new user.)
Run this app with your device connected via USB (can take 7 or 8 minutes), and it will give you root / SU on the device. Then you can run some of the nice apps like Titanium backup, and such.
Seems to be working for me, so far. I have SU installed, and I am currently backing up my phone to SD card with Titanium Backup.
Enjoy!

I would like to confirm that I just used Kingo ROOT to root 4.2.2, SM-T217S, Baseband T217SVPUAMH9, Kernel 3.4.0-1458241, Build JDQ39
For reference my hardware version is T217S.04
I also have a couple more of these, and I am stoked that it was so easy after being unable to find any information clearly spelled out anywhere.
It's safe guys.. I just did it and am still using my tab right now.. Now all we need is Odin recovery and the fun begins..

Works on SM-T217A - AT&T's Model
I can confirm this works on the AT&T model (SM-T217A) as well.
I was extremely skeptical at first and read through every word of their terms and conditions twice to make sure I wasn't agreeing to being watch 2/47 or anything like that but it looks clean and it work just like advertised.
Clean and simple.
T217a root
I will also confirm that this works for the AT&T sm-T217a version as well. I just rooted mine and verified that it is working. :good:
Hopefully this is what is needed.. If u need anything else let me know and I'll b around..

You're just going to have to wait to see if someone can figure out a way to obtain root on it While you wait, you may want to go read all the things you were supposed to read before you rooted (e.g. warnings in big letters about not taking updates). If you're going to root and play around with the sensitive bits of your phone, its pretty important to know exactly what you're doing. Everything you need to know is here, you just need to read it.
My last two phones have been Motorola and im new to Samsungs.. We used an app called Voodoo OTA Root keeper when there was a new OTA out. MOST of the time it would protect root on an OTA, but, like everything else, it wasnt 100% guarantee. Does anyone know if this app works with Samsung and the GS3?
No it doesnt.. YOU LIVE AND LEARN NOW.

I was rooted before the update but was tired of the dang nag screen...so after reading from others that rooting still works, I accepted the update and re-rooted + flashed update to radio. Everything has been fine.
I think the update took away part of the search functionality that Apple has been squawking about, so I downloaded that file to avoid the issue.
BTW I also had trouble at one point getting WiFi Tether to work, even using recommended profile = Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE). I deleted, then re-installed and it seems to be working fine.
Now I do have a question about OTA RootKeeper by Project Voodoo. According to the app page on Google Play -
Typical system where the protection won't work:
- HTC Desire
- Samsung Galaxy Spica
- Samsung Galaxy S / SII
but when you look at the app itself, it says that

Actually, i used OTA rootkeeper on my ATT GS3 to protect my root from the dumb search OTA update and it kept mg root alive. Im using stock samsung rom. So for me at least, OTA rootkeeper worked perfect. Just remember to go in the program (i refuse to call them apps), and back up your root before you apply the OTA.

If i'm not in hurry to get my root back, what am i waiting for and how should i know that it's ready?
To the OP, I am not sure if you are still having issues getting rooted, but I used the method described Here.
like another user posted, I was rooted and was tired of the nagging about updates, so I took the update and forgot to download Voodoo OTA rootkeeper. I used the above method and was able to reroot without a problem. I then used OTA Rootkeeper to maintain root. Havent had an issue since.
Hope this helps
Note: This Root method is no longer supported, most models have been updated to newer software and does not work. If you want this to even have a chance at working, you must have the original software that shipped with the phone 3 years sgo.
This is a great root method with easy to follow instructions that anyone can follow and without all the extra jibber jabber most do not understand. The originator of this root is @giantpune, please give him a Big Thanks!!!
**This Root Method has been confirmed working on the models listed below**
E980 AT&T (Does not work on 10P 01/08/2014 update)
E985 Euro/SFR
E986 Euro/SFR

1st: Go to http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-E980 and download the drivers, let it install all the way before going to the next step.
2nd: Go to 7-Zip and download the program, it is the best one imo.
3rd: Download the attached root file below
4th: Un-Zip the Root file using 7-Zip to a known location
5th: Make sure in Developer Options you enable USB Debugging in your phones settings
6th: Make sure your phone is in Charge Only mode
7th: Plug your phone into your computer and give it about 3 minutes before going to the next step to ensure your computer can see your device
8th: Open the file and run the CurrentRoot.bat
9th: When it prompts you to go to MTP mode, do so in the same place Charge Only was found. LET IT SIT, 3 MINUTES MINIMUM!!!!! This will insure that your computer has seen your phone as a MTP device, if you rush it, the root will fail!
10th: Now hit any key to continue
11th: Once it is completed and your phone reboots, safely remove hardware to remove your phone.
You can download many free root checker apps from the Play Store or use SuperUser that is included with the root.

Thanks @giantpune
side note: I am not responsible for your phone, the above process worked flawlessly on my LG Optimus G Pro US Version E980 on 7/12/2013.
How do I know if I have the "Value Pack Upgrade"? I got an OTA update from AT&T/LG a few days ago, which completed successfully but my Android version is still 4.1.2. Is there a baseband version or build number I can compare against to see if I have this "Value Pack Upgrade"?
That was the value pack upgrade sir ?
I followed these directions exactly and it worked perfectly! I installed Root Explorer and it was successfully given superuser privileges.
Note to others: on step 10, the phone will reboot and the error message you may see on your phone (that a process stopped unexpectedly) is normal. I waited until the phone fully rebooted and finished loading everything before disconnecting my phone.
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: JZO54K
Software version: E98010k
Awesome, I added a note about waiting for the phone to reboot. I did not see the message you got but I may have missed it looking at my daughter dance last night to Xbox.
Enjoy sir
Thank you for the above instructions. Zero issues.
Waiting the 3 minutes made all the difference.
This is the way to go to root! Thank you again!

Well, the rooting police are after me..... lol
Tried to apply the update while my E980 was rooted. No go, got the 0x13e error. Research says that's probably because device is rooted.
So I unroot and try again a couple days later. Same error displays. Device restarts and a new error displays. Something like "Device is suspected of being rooted and rooted devices will not be updated".
So I'm hiding out until the heat is off.
In the meantime, any thoughts.

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice. I should have qualified here that I am COMPLETELY stock other than root. I have not "frozen" any apps., deleted any Samsung provided files, etc. and I have stock bootloader and stock recovery. This will likely NOT work if you have done any of those things.
Is there a flashable version of this? If not, can somebody make one? Thanks.
I'm running a custom rom and rollouts/updates from vendors freak me out because I don't trust not one of them. Knowing AT&T they have thrown in some bit of encryption that locks the bootloader. I understand this might not be the case this time but I do know none of them can be trusted.

The update has only been out for a few hours and we are asking for .zip files already ??
Sheesh...
Give the devs some time to pull it apart and clean it up...unless you would like Knox and a bootloader lock ??

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice.

I have a few questions for you and/or those more in the know:
If I were to do this same thing, would I be able to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) and/or flash custom ROM's/Kernels like I can already do now? One of my main concerns is that the stock kernel doesn't support Boeffla Sound, and that really makes for better audio on this device...might as well take full advantage of that Wolfson DAC...
I have to admit, it would be nice to be able to use pure AT&T stock, but rooted, as a base...this is why I loved the old CleanROM AT&T SE so much...
TIA for any guidance you can give on this.
Side note: after ODIN'ing back to 4.1.2 MA4, it says I have a 741MB update I can take....I'm sure that's this 4.3 update...Culpeper, VA here.

I did the same as marchusdavis but it resulted in a total disaster. After I downloaded the OTA update from AT&T I restarted my phone and it installed through CWM-Touch. At the end it asked if I wanted to ensure root was maintained and of course I said "yes" there (as well as through my SuperSU Pro Survival Mode). When it booted, my WiFi no longer works AND I lost root.
If anyway has any advice on how to get to a stock 4.3 from here please let me know!
Ugh, having trouble updating atm.
Goes up to 30%, then my phone reboots and says
"The update was interrupted" or something like that
On stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery if anyone can help.

I don't believe so, as I am completely stock, bootloader and all. If you want to install other ROMs, you'd need to use a different method I believe. Likely downloading this update either via Kies or something else, and use ODIN to do everything. If you search around a bit on XDA, you'll probably find someone who has done it successfully and posted how. While I like custom ROMs, I have not had a need to use one yet on this device. However, if Samsung doesn't eventually give us Air Command, that might be enough to make me try it!
Is it possible to get the official update from the leak or do I have to downgrade to 4.1.2? I tried updating from the leak but it said it's the latest version.

So, i heard that you got it worked. Maybe that you need to update latest or something else such as clear cache partition. It will work if I dont wrong. This software tool not for some devices.
I have tried it on Galaxy Ace, Tab 2 7.0, Young, Grand Quattro, Mini 2 and Lenovo A369i. Maybe hope you can support Kingo's Tool.
Press THANKs button if kind-hearted and got having a soft hand. Just need it for increase

Oh. Maybe latest firmware is having an issue. It will be update soon and keep trying to giving root into your phone. It just a bit problem. And also you can use Framaroot. Search it yourself. Maybe it's available.

Guys,
Am I the only person who has a 10.1? I have a stock rooted, factory SIM unlocked V930.
I love the tablet, and am really surprised. I have scoured the internet for any bootloader unlock/custom recovery interest or dev interest in general and there's nothing. Is anyone else out there with any info?
Thanks guys peace
Att locked bootloader is across the board killing development for att devices.

I first installed Titanium backup after rooting wit KingoRoot. Not to be mistakes for Kingroot!. After I froze the front-end for Kingoroot using TiBU, and installed SuperSU, I then made SuperSU a system app again through TiBU. Next step was to uninstall the Kinguser app in Its entirety. Finally, I rebooted and started Super SU, updated binaries and once again rebooted. After that SuperSU was the default and only Superuser app. I was worried and skeptical at first but it was flawlessly perfect and performed exactalr as it should have. I hope that helps.

And this works even with the marshmallow updated firmware? I just purchased mine about a week ago. If you have any links please direct me. Thanks

I can confirm that this method doesn't work anymore. Maybe it use to work on a different version of android.
Can y'all pull the marshmallow rom?
Well, too bad nothing ever materialized with a custom recovery for the v930. I really like the device. Has anyone else dug up any info? AT&T can smoke pole!

Can i possibly get a copy of your system image so i can have my v930 back? Right now i am running v935 and it doesnt have the same (32 gb)storage. It only has 16gb. Please pm me. Thanks in advance.

I just got this tablet and love it too.
I've also scoured the internet and can't find much on it as well.
The only thing that confuses me is the IR BLASTER doesn't seem to be turned on via the software.
Anyone else seeing that?
My LG G Pad X was rooted with kingroot and now I can't update to Marshmallow. Is there any way to get around this? Or am I screwed? I tried the update tool and nothing came from it.
LG V935 root Success
Hello, I used Kingroot to try a long time, have not been successful, today, I found that China's 360root is very good tool. Incredibly successful. I feel very happy. Although there is no superusu tool, but now it has the highest authority, I am still very happy.

Can you put me in the direction of the V935 image that you mention? I've bricked my V930 by using the wrong version of Kingroot (don't use the new version 5) and there doesn't seem to be any V930 images anywhere on this planet. Right now I'd settle for anything that will give my V930 some wheels again. A V935 image would do the job just fine. Many thanks.

Install Flashfire and run it, or use nandroid on a windows computer. Either will do the job nicely. And you will be the first to help all those ppl with bricked V930 tablets )
Do that first and then we can give you instructions on the next step. Many thanks, John.
