I just got my new tablet and I am trying to root but don't know which files to use. Has anyone successfully rooted their AT&T tablet? Thank you.
I don't think you can root the att tab s. It has a locked bootloader
^^^^ Just like he said, AT&T does indeed lock their bootloaders. If they arent ecrypted there may be a way around it but thats not something I have any knowledge in as ive never owned a AT&T device.
darn
Awww man wanted to remove all the bloatware. Thanks guys.
According to this tweet, SRS Root now can root our AT&T SM-T807A device:
https://twitter.com/srsroot/status/535510121133391873
I find this a bit suspicious because 1) No one else has root for it, and 2) SRS Root is not represented on XDA. I'm a bit hesitant to try it. Anyone feeling adventurous to try it and report back?

Seems new? I think I seen one like this but idk if this is the same. Well... Since it's based off of exploits by the looks of it, its best to do some more research on it. I might give it a try later idk since it saids supported for the T800 also
I would try it but I have not rooted in awhile and would hate to brick my tablet.

I have looked at it. It use adb and tries bunches of exploit. Since I'm already root I cannot try it. It would most likely not brick your tablet and its worth a try I guess. Up to you!
For anyone wanting to know if SRS Root works, it doesn't. After it connects through ADB, it tries many different exploits before applying the 4th one. Then is prompts that the device is successfully rooted and SuperUser has been installed. It then reboots the device just as CF Autoroot does, but it fails to actually root. This is my 1st device with a locked bootlader, so I'm considering swapping it for the T-Mobile version. Can't deal with the bloatware much longer

Both the T707 (AT&T Tab S 8.4) and T807 (AT&T Tab S 10.5) are rootable, as far as I know. The thing is, it depends on firmware. If you're using NH6 or NJ5, I think you can root. If you're running the latest NK1 firmware, you're out of luck for now.

So the Verizon version bootloader is locked. From what I understand, that means that I can't root it. Is there any attempt to unlock it? Or work around the lock? Do any developers actually have one of these? Should I return it and get the international version? My issue is the warranty (I tend to break stuff) and the speed and coverage of Verizon's LTE network . I am missing titanium backup, overclocking, etc.
Thanks for any info.

Unlocking the bootloader and rooting are mutually exclusive. A device can be rooted without being able to unlock the bootloader.
In fact, I've found myself in the odd position once on my Tab 10.1 of replacing the bootloader and not having root access. It was easy to fix but I found that an odd spot to be in.
I can't use Odin to root it. Is there another way available?

I'm sure someone will come out with a root for it eventually but, who knows when. It just came out on Verizon a couple weeks ago. Srsroot says it works but, I didn't have any luck. It just rebooted a couple of times said it was rooting and did nothing. Kinda wonder if it was just a scam to get my info. Don't have anything on it yet though.
[BOUNTY] Unlocked Bootloader for P605V
I am going to offer all of our development $30 to whomever can get a working unlocked bootloader for the Verizon 4GLTE P605V Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition. It's complete nonsense that going as far back as this post (April) that there isn't a solution....
You can root 605v with towel root.. Just rooted mine. Can't install custom recovery. But things like xposed modules works fine. Ad away works.
I think TowelRoot works on 4.4.2, and according to a Tweet and their webpage, SRSRoot works on the SM-P605v 4.3 and 4.4.2. My previously rooted P605v's screen died and I'm getting a replacement sent (I didn't want a newer tablet without the stylus). I hope that whatever OS version is on it is rootable!
I have an SGIII with I747UCUEMJB listed as my baseband version and I wanted to know if this is considered a locked bootloader. I now have a note3 that I (unfortunately) took the OTA. I'm using my old SGIII as a "mess around with". Just curious and thank you in advance for answering.

Why you need that info?
If you wanna root it, use towelroot (really user friendly). From there, you can mess around with it as much as you want.
I keep reading and hearing about not taking the OTA. Which I did on the note 3; limiting me on what I can/can not do with ROMS. Trying to avoid that on the S3 I have. I've rooted with towelroot on the Note3. Trying to be "open" as much as possible with the S3. I don't want to have to take an OTA and have the bootloader locked. If I already am with the baseband I have then this is all a moot point.

MJB is 4.3, which has Knox (I'm assuming that's the lock you're talking about, it's more of a security thing though).
Having that doesn't "lock" you from anything really though. You can still root using Towelroot, flash a custom recovery with Flashify or GooManager and flash w/e ROM you feel like using. Note though that you can't downgrade bootloaders from 4.3.
Ok great. Good to know.
Also as far as I can tell all the s3 bootloaders are "open" so they will take custom kernels and such
Awesome. Good to know. Trying to get my arms around all of this and trying to learn as much as possible. Tons of stuff out here and lots information.

I'm just wondering if it's safe to rollback the firmware on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5" to the previous one or if it causes some sort of conflict.
I want to do so because I've just installed the most recent one (T800ODD1ANK1 - India) and I can't root it using Cf-Autoroot posted here.
Thanks!
What happens when you try to root it?

Nothing. I did it with Odin and it just reboots to the same old unrooted tablet. All is working fine as usual, but no root.
What botters me the most is that I had Xposed framework installed but now it has no functionality and all the modules I had installed don't work. I would install the previous firmware but I'm afraid of breaking something, with installing older software on top of newer one.
I was able to root the US version of that ROM (T800XXU1ANK1) using CF Auto Root from Chainfire:
http://download.chainfire.eu/473/CF...uto-Root-chagallwifi-chagallwifixx-smt800.zip
Perhaps give that a shot???
I will but the India version has a more recent changelist (which was the reason why I chose to install it).
Thanks in advance.
As I predicted, since the changelist is different (your version has the same as the older one I had, with functioning root, but not with this one), no root.
Does anyone know if it is safe to install a previous version of the software? Like, for example, Cellular South ANK1 (with an older changelist).
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue as the original poster. It says I am rooted, but I'm not because root checker just keeps spinning and there isn't a SU# icon in my apps. I've done this with Odin about a million times before, for some reason on my new T800 (after I updated the software), it doesn't work.
Am I missing a step because I have the same version you have? Extract the file. Load the md5 file into AP. Hit Start. Wait for it to reboot. Right?
Yea root isn't working for me with T800XXU1ANK1. =(
Im assuming you ran Super SU and updated the binaries or whatever it asks, or updated the app in playstore?
Ive done nothing different and root works fine.
I was thinking about another root alternative. I was thinking about downloading the supersu zip and save it to the device or sd card. Then flash twrp recovery with odin, then boot into recovery and flash the supersu zip to get root? Could that work as an alternative since it flashes root in the process?
I just rolled back to T800XXU1ANJ6 and I am rooted.
I just bought a Tab S, and I can't seem to find an answer to a question that relates to this thread. Is there any advantage to updating before rooting?
I can't decide if I should root it now or update the software, and then root. After searching some, it appears that it doesn't matter whether I upgrade or not, but I can't seem to find if there is any advantage to updating it then rooting. Like, is it easier to get the latest firmware that way?

If i am correct, There should be stock custom roms available that are prerooted so you can flash over. As for an ota update, that is faster than being rooted then flashing lollipop rom.
Anyway we have a lollipop rom already built. Its smooth and most things are working. Its really cool and id rather use this than waiting for samsung to get the latest update out. Do you have the 10.5 in or 8.4 inch?

I have the wifi 10.5 inch.
So, you are saying update OTA then root, unless I want to jump to Lollipop (which I do), which in that case it doesn't matter so I should just root and flash a lollipop rom?
Thanks for helping me out.

Up to you If you want to jump to lollipop/CM12, just run flash Cfautoroot( with odin to root) then install twrp and flash the lollipop rom. There is a thread for cm12/lollipop in the development tab s section.
But wait! Rooting trips knox with voids your warranty. Same users has reported getting service from samsung for free of charge from defective units and some had to pay to get defective parts replaced by samsung. 50/50 chance. I took the risk and havent got a hardbrick or anything yet.

Thank you for the heads-up. I've rooted all 6 of my android phones that I've had, so I'm not too worried about voiding the watrranty. Judging by your reply it sounds like there are a lot of lemons out there for this device. Mine seems to be running okay, but I just can't take all the lag that I assume comes from TW and bloatware. My HTC One M8 with Lollipop seems faster and smoother than my Tab S at stock. Although after typing the last sentence, I put Nova on there and sped up all the animations and it is definitely light years faster than my One M8 now.
I think the answer to the original post is that the Su binary was installed, but the op didn't download then update Super su after rooting. You wont get full root until you do as there is no app to handle root requests.
Hi all,
I bought a nice pink Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (SGH-I257 AT&T model) for my daughter. I would like to put CM on it.
I am looking for a solution for two days. I cannot find any solution. I do not know how to put TWRP and a custom ROM on it. I rooted my Nexus 6 and phones before.
Can someone advise me how to continue? Did I oversee any links? This device is different than the SGH-i257M (this one can be rooted).
Thank you in advance
Well...
The SGH-i257 (serranovolteatt) can be rooted by using KingoRoot or probably other apps, but I haven't found any ROMs or Recovery for it yet either. Please post any updates here!
Sorry, I don't have any updates.

I used Kingoroot, but I doubt if the phone is really rooted. I remember Flashify complained that the phone wasn't rooted.
I bought this phone online for my daughter. I really want CM on it, so I can track here better than with the AT&T ROM.
I guess we'll have no luck.
Yeah, I've been searching for a few weeks through forums hoping to figure out how to install cyanogenmod onto it. It says it's rooted, and I can use root apps, but I've not been able to put custom recovery onto it.
Have you had any luck? I'm also trying to put a custom rom on this phone?
Afraid not. I've pretty much given up, sadly. It seems like it's simply not out there to me.
I have read that you can actually root the US Note 7 a few places. I have not tired it yet because I have heard that Samsung Pay, Android Pay, and Galaxy Gear Fit 2 do not work with a rooted S7. How much truth is there, and is there a possibility of any of them working in the future?

You can flash the Sprint userdebug.tar on any Snapdragon model and root it without tripping Knox / voiding your warranty, but Samsung Pay / Android Pay will not work. This has been a known Samsung sacrifice for a very long time, so this is something you will always have to sacrifice.
All root apps work, but there is no custom recovery, and you can use FlashFire for that.
There is 99% certainty that Knox/Pay will never work with root, since it completely deminishes the security of these delicate features. It would be like eventually giving everyone a master key to your wallet.
P.s. I've successfully rooted my N930W8 (Canadian) flashing the sprint userdebug.tar and then following the root guide found in that sub forum. Everything works but Hotspot. If anyone knows of a fix let me know!
Can someone explain to me how to unroot? My capacitive buttons are no longer working for some reason.
I've already downloaded the stock firmware, but I'm not sure exactly how to flash. Could probably mess around with it and figure it out, but I really don't want to screw up.
If someone could explain how to unroot via Odin and, if possible, via TWRP it would be much appreciated.

Do you possibly know about the Gear App and the Gear Fit 2?
I have also read about suhide, but that looks like it needs a custom recovery right now. I mostly want to root to get rid of some bloat on the phone.

You can use Package Disabler Pro for that without root. I used for months with unrooted samsung phones, no problems at all.
Also, you can flash suhide with FlashFire and use Terminal to configure it.
I personally havent used suhide, but I understand how it works, and since FlashFire is pretty much a custom recovery, theres no reason why it shouldnt work. Only difference is if you are using the Sprint root, you would have to reflash ssu the manual way after flashing suhide, which at this point would be easier to do everything through adb.
