To root or not, that is the question

So I am thinking about rooting my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, but I have a question I hope someone can help me with. If I root my tablet and flash CleanRom on it, can I go back to stock rom if I want? The reason I ask is that I cannot seem to find the SM-T320 US stock rom. I see a lot of other countries, but not US.
Thanks

I found this previously and believe it should work but I haven't tried it yet myself http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/02/t320ueu1anai-android-442-for-galaxy-tab.html. That is the same ROM my US 8.4 came with. I'm running CleanROM currently and it's fabulous!

Any suggestions on how to root an 8.4 LTE? I just got mine in Hong Kong and see positively NO info on how to get this rooted.. I should have done research before buying the Tab.. no root for me, positively useless Tab..

[Q] Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S

Will we ever realistically see Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S?

I hope so, this tab is more than capable of running it. Last years entry level xperias are getting lolipop and even the moto defy. I think aosp will come out about december then we'll see a touchwiz version Feb or something. Tbf there aren't many devs for the tab s

Early 2015 or at least in march is the latest.

My best guess. I read in an article somewhere about it.

I have read several times samsung will update flagship models to lollipop, so since the tab s series is their top of the line models atm they will get it like the other guy said early 2015. Now my question, if you have rooted and tripped knox will it be possible to get the update or will have to wait for a rom to flash?

Well we don't know if the cfauto root works on android l. But you can just flash a factory Image when ever android l is out. Or do it with kies.

From the article:
Samsung is yet to reveal its plans for the official roll out of the Lollipop 5,0 update on its devices, but a tentative prediction has been prepared by The Android Soul based on company's record history.

I hope T805. My new tab with lollipop and cm12....Great !!
:thumbup:

I think we should get together a bounty/donation for eousphoros for a succesful port of CM12 (lollipop) to the Tab S 8.4 inch. It would be nice because it will help with his baby costs too! (that's the reason he's been busy)
hes the only hope we got,
eousphoros, let me know if you want me to start a thread or you can start one of those donate/pledge pages that keeps track of total, much easier. I'll spread it around good.

Ahh. Gotcha. Yeah, I went to the link from the other thread to check out firmware too. But after download I seen it was a very small file (24.7MB) lol. Now I know why. Not fully uploaded yet. Lol. Thanks!
Sucks for recovery. But root right now is better than nothing. I'll root once firmware is complete.

SM-t807t root
I was looking for a root. glad it is finally out there. I dont know what i would do without these roots now that i have them. But i keep seeing TWRP and recovery and flashes. I have no idea what those are or what they entail. Can someone explain a little. Do i need those? If i install them/use them will i lose the root? Or are they recovery systems incase of a brick so i dont gain a 600$ paperweight?

For root, just flash the T805 root. Both are the same and should flash fine since tmobile tab s are the same as T805

Thanks for that !
I think I got it. If I follow the instructions here: techbeasts.com/2014/08/14/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-t800-t805-and-install-twrp-recovery

For what it's worth, since I posted it the other day there has been over 180 downloads, but hardly any feedback, but I suppose no news is good news.

You confused me. Don't worry, confusing me is easy.
Which one looks better ? I've seen quite a few links on this site. Now it seems like the one I posted is better than the one you suggested.

It all depends on your requirements. If you just want root and no custom recovery then flash the unmodified cf-autoroot.
If you want an updated version with an updated and fixed twrp recovery then flash my version.
Also note that the guide you posted does link to outdated software and also makes the install of both root and twrp a 4 step process.
Using my version it's a one step process.
The choice is yours.

I'm stuck
I got to the point where ODIN said it was done, the tablet still says Downloading but Odin said leave cs. Tablet won't respond at all.

Hello, I was looking through the Android Development section and sadly both the available ROM's were only for the 7 inch version of this tablet, I was wondering if you have planned any development for the 10.1 inch version, I would love to see a CM or custom ROM of Lollipop for this tablet.

Hmm, tried this one on LG GPad 8.3 KK 4.4.2, didn't work sadly, it may be that I only have a VM of Windows and there's an issue with mapping COMx to ttyx in VirtualBox that I'm not at all sure how to overcome. Adb finds the device, so it's at least communicating, but when it's time to run the exploit it just stops on the download screen. If anyone knows a good way to figure out which port is "diag" on a linux box (it's easy to *map* it, just difficult to know *what* to map) please do share. I've been searching high and low for a few days, and have learned a lot, just not what I need lol. I'd rather not do a hard install of Windows if I can avoid it, but I'm fresh out of ideas. I was thinking it might be that the software updated to VK70011A from VK700, but judging from the post above this one, that's unlikely(hence the edit). Not giving up just yet, but *any* input would be greatly appreciated.

...ammend that, trashed my partition table trying to move LVs around to do a Windows install, so backed up, and just scrapped the whole thing and started over with a dual boot from scratch. NOW it's rooted right and proper, yay, I can actually use the sd card I dropped $100 on, thanks for the link, worked like a dream.

I rooted with 5.0.2 and DP-Tools. My virus scanner alarmed me, but I guess/hope it is not a real virus.
I do not have LTE, but the DP-Tools is for LG-Devices in general.
Only missing thing is xposed framwork (doesn't run in lollipop)...i would love to remove softkeys in chrome while browsing.

I have yet to get this to work on my VZW 10.1. It hangs during the download screen portion. Any thoughts would be helpful.
TIA.

The single-click root worked on my US Cellular UK410. Thanks!

Interesting. I have a 4G VK700 I just got and Kingroot works fine. There is no reason to swith superuser apps because kingroot provides plenty of features and there's nothing I have been unable to do. I put in T-Mobile APN settings and my 4g signal was on and conected after reboot. I will post my sofware version and kingroot version. I don't know why you would install an update unless it is needed to run something you have been unable to run.
Just FYI most updates these days simply lock you out from or make root more difficult to get. and they often cause hardware issues regardless of wether it is rooted or not.

First of all you're in the wrong thread, this is for AT&T devices and your SM-N920V is a Verizon device which cannot be rooted as of yet and I suggest you use the Verizon thread to avoid confusing people and flashing stuff for the wrong device.

Ii belive users were waiting for an update and if they made the update available to download away from the phone. Update was required so users could build a root for att galaxy note 5. From what I read

Really? How can i get that root? Have tried many root apps (kingroot, kingoroot, iroot) and still unsuccessful..

Yes ive tried every thing there is no stable root method I mean you can[kind of] if you haven't updated to marshmallow. Im unlocked and using tmobil but you dont get the aws bands so service isnt as good as a legit tmobil phone.
