I don't wont to trip any counters...
kingo would be the easiest way. install the program on your computer, connect your device, click a couple times, let it do its thing and you'll have instant root. nothing else changes and nothing is lost. there was some bad feedback about the app but its been cleared up since then.
many people have used it.

Seconded. It probably won't even trigger your Knox flag (I have rooted several times with Kingo and my Knox flag is still 0x0)

Why would we not want to trigger that, does that make Knox useless? Reason I ask is because I do use this phone for work with an exchange account and have been curious about this. If I use Knox to just try it out will that screw anything up?

Tripping KNOX may make the phone incompatible with certain enterprise scenarios. Using kingo wont trip the counter so it shouldnt matter in your case.

Check out this thread which is linked in the FAQ sticky here.
There is one person claiming Kingo tripped his Knox flag despite MI7, so unless we figure exactly why, I would be careful and maybe wait a little.

I don't know about that other person, but I had the same issue, I'm still on MI7, I used Kingo to rood my Note 3, everything was fine until it asked me to install an app called MtkCamera, which I declined, then Kingo kind of frozed and then it restarted. When I checked the Knox counter it was tripped ...so, I would suggest caution with this.
Well, first of all I would ask why do you want to root to begin with and secondly is that reason more important than using it for work. At least In theory Knox was developed for people like you, who have one phone for work and personal use, by providing secure environment for sensitive data. Even if your job doesn't use Knox yet, they may in the future. If I was doing banking or CC transactions on my phone I would seriously consider Knox as well, albeit I have no idea if it would actually serve it's purpose well. If you just test Knox you would need to download some extra software from Samsung, Samsung is aware of security holes and already patched them in the latest bootloaders, so Knox flag will trip when rooting for sure, so I wouldn't be surprised if those security updates wouldn't be the first downloaded as part of Knox suite, when installing it. So here I would speculate, since I have not tried it myself, that you should either root and take your chances, or use Knox and forget about rooting. I wonder if PTJunkie didn't play with Knox, or somehow manage to get Samsung security update, to get his flag tripped, where others didn't. I actually disabled updates to make sure I don't get any new enhancements from T-mo or Samsung.
If you have used Odin before,
root de la vega is easy.

I root because i have a lot of apps that required root like titanium explorer and root explorer .
Moreso, I need to freeze all the bloatware like google now and s voice.

I have 2 quick questions:
1. root delavega uses att rom, att phones don't have wifi calling, is wifi calling still working as usual on rooted, t-mo phones? or in general Is there anything T-mo specific that breaks after root?
2. I assume bringing the phone back to original would require reflashing original T-mo ROMS? Anything else needs to be flashed?
I haven't flashed back to tmobile stock yet. I still have wifi calling and I make sure to disable my tmobile account because they can tell if you are rooted.
Yeah, when you run that system check, but what can they do? Even if they cared, I'm not sure if they do, if your phone is stock with no flags tripped, I would argue and play stupid if needed return, or repair. Also I wonder if this check could be somehow disabled all by itself, for example by taking away some permissions.
Hello guys! I recently bought this tab and needing the root I read some guides and knox showed up, so I read other threads on knox. I went on the app drawer and into the samsung folder and then I opened up the knox app and that's what I saw. So I'm confused, is knox intended to be already installed on the device or not? Can I root doing nothing about knox? Sorry I had to take a photo, it didn't let me take a screen.

Knox is installed on all devices. If you don't use it and you are a root user you can get rid of it. Download:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
It lets you uninstall system apps such as knox then it should be gone

Nope I don't use it and I'm not a su and really don't want to root with odin. But if it could solve some annoying issues I cold think about it.. for example when I use my lg p500 or an ipad 4th gen as hotspot wifi, the p605 doesn't see anything. Touch after wake up is laggy for a few seconds. When I start an app there is a 60% of probability that it crash.

Just remember, rooting will trip Knox warranty void thus voiding your warranty...
Seems funny you're having trouble with the apps though. I don't have too much trouble, most things work unless you're using ancient apps from doughnut days...
Galaxy Pro 8.4 NE3 BTU firmware
Total noob when it comes to rooting, so maybe someone can take the time to explain what it's all about to me? What benefits are there over the stock installation that you get? Do you need root access if you just surf the net, use Facebook , play games and email? Are there significant advantages in having a rooted device for the average user? ROM's? Is it easy to do? How do you recover things if it all goes wrong or you change your mind?
I think the last point worries me the most ... I'd :crying: if I bricked my tab!

I rooted SM-T320 using towelroot which is an apk file that is downloaded to your tablet/phone and run from the device ( www.towelroot.com ). No need to connect to you PC. Lots of info on this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 . There is a lot of information and you should read it all. It took me less than 5 mins. to root my tab 8.4. A couple of small hiccups. SuperSu hung trying to disable Knox, but a reboot and running SuperSu, Knox was disabled with no problem. The other issue occurred with the reboot to disable Knox. There was no connection to the Play Store.For some reason the date had changed to an earlier date and time. When I reset the date and time I was able to access the play store again. The best news was that it appears that Knox was not tripped. My reason for rooting was to be able to fully access my external sd card and also be able to remove some of the Samsung Apps that I will never use and is taking valuable storage space as well as hogging memory. According to everything that I read in the above thread the chances of bricking your device is almost 0%. If you change your ming after you root you can use SuperSu to get back to a fully Un-rooted state.
hello, i ordered samsung t705, i will receive in 2 days so i'm new with this tab.

nope.
It's interesting how in a a few months you figured out how to accomplish this. I'd like to do same if you fancy helping @LEENO.
This isn't yet possible for this device.
Anyone tried Ping-Pong rooting method?..
It doesn't have data for these devices.
It is possible it might with but the dev will need to look into it
A bit of information.

Give kingroot v4 a go.
If it doesn't succeed first time try keep trying. Also if it reboots leave it alone after it reboots as its part of the rooting process.
Seems only working for kitkat at the moment.

Also if the app fails try the desktop version, it can have success where the app fails.

I think i will wait a bit, A warning that knox might be tripped does not fill me with confidence, I will come back when kingroot is v5.0 and or in English.

Hello everyone, I picked up this phone about 2 days ago from Boost Mobile. I have the SPH-L710T, running 4.4.2. So I had downloaded Kingroot to see if it would root my phone, as I don't have a computer that's readily accessible. So it didn't work at first, but yesterday I went back to the app and it asked me if I want to disable Knox to improve the chances of it finding a root strategy. Unsure & afraid that selecting it would brick my phone, I just left it alone.
I'm curious, has that happened to anyone else? If so, then could you tell me what happened? Thanks everyone, I appreciate it in advance.
Knox is a set of security things for when these are company phone. Knox will mess with root stuff, and nothing happens to your phone when it's disabled. Don't worry about disabling it. I'm on stock (rooted) oh1 with it disabled and nothing has happened due to knox being disabled. Hope this answers your question.
