[Q] Root for SM-T215?

Forgive me for asking this question but I can't find a way to root this. Yes, I tried searching but it can't seem to find anything about this particular model.
It's the LTE version of the Tab 3 7.0 if anyone is wondering.
Thanks in advance.

I tried using http://www.kingoapp.com/ to root my SM-T215 and for some reason it did not work for me. Others have tried and had success.
Have you tried that yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747

SM-T215 Rooting
Am a noob and still learning but if u would like to try my method,i be happy that i could help u.No flashing of roms as my only intention of rooting is to get rid of those unwanted apps and boosting the speed/battery life.
SM-T215 Tab 3 7.0 LTE (8GB)
Rooting: Only Kingoapp works. (Provide root with supersu but no custom recovery)
Custom Recovery for backup/restore: Only TWRP (SM-T217S) flash through ODIN works.CWM gets bootloops.
No custom roms are found compatible/stable for the T215 so far but xPosed framework is an option.

tried kingoapp, framaroot, zroot, and afew more but still cant get my tab to be rooted.
just bought this tab 3 7.0 SM T215 to replace my outdated modded galaxy apollo cm7 alpha 9 with the hope that i can explore more on modded roms on a better handset.
if only there is ROOTING for sm-t215 at the least..
8GB filled with bloatware is making my device suffocating and annoying.

Flash or install universal root. If that does not work install vroot sure that this will have rooted your phone. You can then uninstall remplasarla by SuperSU smoothly and the other

All right.
1. Install this apk. https://mega.co.nz/#!bQwAlJiT!H04MbX-_Hp0o2sYo7RCaFG904_x_2sxLW0rTTsZlLSM
2. Before running the application, you must tick the boxes, usb debugging, allow mock locations, all in development options, and be connected to the internet.
3.-That done, you open the application, and click where it says open das, root, now there waiting to do their work, if all goes well, your phone will reboot.
4.-If you ever leave a message with Chinese letters before or after you restart your phone, give right click option. Always be on that, that is to give super user permissions.
5. as either root, replace the Chinese application SuperSU, qui this. https://mega.co.nz/#!CVx1BLSQ!g1lLufWuy7GzqxuEgYK2MSHFrqS6UGvelfvD24V_aFs

still not working
i tried that and doesn't work. installed the apk click root but still

How I root my SM-T215 (Singapore) at 4.2.2
Excuse me for being a Noob...
To enable USB Debugging is the same as Note 3. Tap on About Phone and the Baseband 7 times (I Think) as almost weeks ago when I tried.
Enable USB Debugging (tick) and all in this paragraph first before trying this website (namely Allow Mock Locations, etc) :
www . mgyun. com / vfroot
Download (立即下载) and Install the software into Desktop.
Need not turn off Tab 3, just connect and wait for the software to detect.
Then it will do its work to root it.
Tab 3 will reboot at least once, and when asked for ADB access, authorize it.
I managed to root my SM-T215 via this method without any knowledge of any programming knowledge.
I hope this helps. Have not checked on Knox yet but glad that I can remove some apps which slows down the Tab 3 LTE

does not work on my SM-T215.

Any other option for rooting SM T215.
Tried various root versions - none works.

www.mgyun.com download the root application and install it in ur pc, once u've launch the app and connect ur device, the app will automatically detect the model of ur device. just click on root.. once rooted, uninstall the chinese version of superuser but TAKE NOTE you need to keep the kinguser tool in your device or else no rooted is being done. once everything is installed, user rootchecker to double confirm that ur device has been rooted. it is not a full root, but it'll do for now. good luck

samsung has finally released kitkat firmware for SM-T215, the update had factory resetted my device to stock. before i proceed with your www .mgyun. com / vfroot method, will your method still work? (just to be safe)

Sorry for this late reply.
When I had rooted T215, my priority is remove bloatware which includes Software updates. Knowing that Tab 3 hardware will be stretched, I don't want any updates as it will make Tab 3 sluggish.
Thus I am still at 4.2.2. and staying it this way for now.
I am not at 4.4.2+ , so it is still strong with the root.

i've forgotten how i rooted my sm-t215 kitkat. If i'm not wrong, you only need to install/flash only the CWM recovery into your phone, and once you've successfully install/flash CWM recovery, go into recovery and choose reboot now. there will be an option for you to install superuser. choose that and your phone will be auto rooted.
here is the link.

do it at your own risk, i won't be responsible for anything in case something goes wrong as this only based on my memory.
GOOD LUCK

how could i enable lte option
even it is 4glte .this particular option is missing in network mode

Can the last 4.4.3 update be rooted (D5303)?

Hey guys, I have a single chip D5303 running the latest 4.4.3 update but couldn't get it rooted with vRoot, tried many times and it installed some chinese app on the phone that is not the super user app, I used root checker to verify that it didn't work.
I just bought the phone and haven't touched it in any aspect yet.
Have you succeeded rooting this version?
Thanks!

Hey man,
Try towel root instead vroot
1.Install supersu
2.turn on developer mode
3.tick usb debugger

TWN/TAIWAN V20İ LGD855 - Root Methods Don't WORK :(

Hi everyone,
I have D855 INT, version TWN/TAIWAN. v20i officially released in a few days. I flashed v20i kdz file with flash tool, rom is perfect. When I try to root with One Click Root tool or DP Root, DP Tools and SEND_COMMAND script etc. all methods do not works at this time. Is there a way to root v20i? I use both v20h and v20p, I had not any root problems. How you root when you get v20i?
Thanks.

I am not getting error. SU Binary does not installed, so I could not get the root access. I think LG blocked that.

This woreked for me:

Try several times if you don't get at first

Downgrade first maybe?
I had to downgrade to my carrier's stock ROM for Kitkat and then I was able to root with the methods listed above. Then I could flash a custom recovery with Flashify and flash a nice ROM like Cyanogenmod or something. Proccess took a while as I soft bricked my phone originally haha

Help.
Any other effective method to root LG G3 32GB D855 v20i-TWN? I Actually tried every method I could find From one click root to manual and king root. Nothing works with my phone. :crying:

How many times did you try Kingroot? It took me about 5 times to get it to work. You must also be connected to the internet. I have the exact same model and it did work after a few tries.

I tried alot of times more that 10 ans different versions of it the latest one and previous kingroot versions. What happens is that when I try to root my phone it gets stuck on 16-18% then the kingroot app closes when I try to open it again it says it failed.

LG G-Pad 7.0 V410 Root Failure

My V410 received an OTA to 5.0.2 about 2 weeks ago. Tried to root several times since, all without success. Towelroot, Purpledrake, LG One Click Root (v1.3), LG Root Script (v1.2) and LG Root all fail. I even tried SuperOneClick, without success. I have never had this much difficulty rooting any Android device!
Am I missing something? Maybe I skipped a step? Windows 7 Pro 64-bit desktop PC, with ADB installed and working, so my OS isn't blocking me.
Android version: 5.0.2
Kernal version: 3.4.0+
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: V41020b
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I am all ears!

I'm having the exact same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is my exact issue too. I rooted my v410 and then it decided to update to 5.0.2 and now it's unrooted and not vulnerable. After hours each night of searching and searching is the short answer it's stuck where it's at? Every fix requires a rooted device and once on lollipop it won't root...
Edit: Also, hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum as a new member in attempts to customize my first android device.

LG gpad 7 v410 v20b:
I'm having the same issue.
For me, Purpledrake quits unexpectedly right after the tablet has rebooted once. Then the tablet reboots again.
Anyone know why?

Purpledrake ran on a Mac does the same but the term window stays up and it reads something to the tune of the phone not being vulnerable and basically putting everything back the way it found it.

Same problem here! Tried everything! Has anyone came up with a solution?

Any Solution guys?

Make sure both of these are set correctly. I struggled for a couple of days while trying root my v410, then realized it was #2 the whole time that was stopping my progress......

Purple Drake works for stock Kit Kat not for stock lollipop.

I stupidly tried to update mine to lollipop and now I appear not to be rooted and purple drake fails. I think the twrp recovery I had installed before is blocking it cause it fails when twrp logo appears at reboot (instead of AT&T logo). Is there another way to root an LG G-pad 7.0 v410 or find what's blocking purple drake?
EDIT: Actually it is ok now, rooted. Is there a way to install the new system update on a rooted tablet?

Correct, guess I should have reiterated that as well, as I assumed we all are experienced.

I'm not man. Honestly my entire ecosystem is Mac and iOS. I changed up my plan at AT$T and they were like:
"It comes with a tablet."
"I don't need a tablet."
"But it's free with the plan."
"Yeah but I don't need a tablet."
"But... it comes... ... with the plan..."
"Okay, give me the damn tablet."
"Great! We're out at the moment so we'll have to send it to you in the mail and sign here acknowledging you're aware that it has a new separate line for $10 a month."
Eventually I started using it and thought it would be good for when I'm out on the road on bidness and wanted to unlock all the supernatural phenomenal marvels that is Android. Nah man, AT$T's got this thing on lock down. I would upgrade to a different tab but dollars.

This not work with Lollipop only KK

No luck. My tablet will not root. I tried Purpledrake regular and lite. I used a new USB cable, I plugged it directly into the motherboard, and I ran both progs many times. I have de-bugging and MTP enabled. I have ADB installed, and I crossed my fingers. Purpledrake just quits unexpectedly. I hope someone figures out how to root this tablet. I'd put up some cash for a working root. Anyone else?
Stupid google. Whatever happened to "Don't Be Evil"?

Purple Drake doesn't necessarily quit unexpectedly, the window just closes before you get a chance to read the message. It basically says that the phone is not vulnerable and it can't continue and has replaced everything it changed and then closes and vanishes into the dark.

Has anyone tried rolling back the Android update?
I mean: restore to factory settings, turn off OTA and then root?

It's not Google's fault. AT$T requested that the bootloader be locked by LG and it's not advantageous for Google in any way to intentionally introduce bugs in the kernel that will allow for privilege escalation.
The reason that PurpleDrake is quitting is because it is executing the root script and not waiting for it to finish. Basically it is not checking for errors and just assuming that it worked. If you run the root script by hand (which is what PD does for you) then the script fails to escalate privileges and a root shell is not attained. PurpleDrake is only a wrapper for the root script.

Restoring to factory settings will only wipe the /data partition; it has no effect on the /system partition. I've been scouring the web for weeks and have not found a workable solution. There's a good chance that if you were somehow able to roll back to a KK image then the bootloader would fail to load the kernel.
When I get some time, I plan to try to try dumping the system image, manually injecting root goodies, and finding some way to flash that image back. It may or may not brick the device.

So if we want root, we roll back to KK?
