Rooting the Galaxy Tab S2 - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I want to just have root access for now and not to install a custom rom. I've read Ashyx's way of rooting (CF-autoroot-Galaxy Tab S2- SM-T810/T710/T715 26/8/15) and it had mentioned that I should have the stock firmware incase. So I then went to sammobile.com to search for my firmware, but I didn't see my country code (USA). Do they not have it? My Galaxy Tab S2 is brand new (not used). It is WiFi only. Got for Christmas. So I have not added apps or any information yet. Though it is asking me to update software. Version details says T810XXU2BOJ1/T810XAR2BOJ1. I just need to know which firmware version to use for USA if there is one and if I should disregard the Tab's software update. I will give you my Tab's info.

The country code for USA in sammobile is XAR. Confusing but look for a firmware that has XAR at the end of the firmware info.

Did you forget to answer the question about if I should install the system update that it keeps notifying or should I ignore it? That's ok if you forgot. Sorry for all my questions. I'm a noobie at this rooting stuff.

[Q] Install 4.4.2 on Note 3 Neo from another region

Purchased a Note 3 Neo in Hong Kong last year.
Model Number: SM-N7505
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: N7505ZHUAND2
Currently running:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/29517/N7505ZHUAND2_N7505ZZHAND2_TGY/
KNOX is already flipped, so I don't care.
Browsing http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N7505/, I see that there are some 4.4.2 for various regions, but I need to have a 4.4.2 base in order to install a custom ROM correct?
I get a "Device has been modified. Software updates are not available" message when clicking "Check for Updates" - so my assumption is I'm going to have to do this manually? But do I just need to wait?

I posted the question but I didn't find an answer to this, yet.
I would flash the newest firmware for the N7505 (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43318/N7505XXUCOB1_N7505OXXCOB1_BGL/) and then the modem for Europe (N7505XXUCNG2).
But I don't know if this is possible?!

[Q] Is the AT&T Note II impossible to root?

First off here are the current details of my device:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband Version: N900AUCUEOC1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-4335446
Build Number: LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1
Knox Version: 2.3​-------------------------------------------------------------
(Sorry I would have posted screenshots but I don't have 10 posts yet.)
I bought the phone with KitKat 4.4.2 and Baseband Version N900AUCUCNC2
Since then it has been updated through:
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNJ5
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNL1
and now Lollipop 5.0 - Baseband: N900AUCUEOC1​
I carelessly updated my phone via Firmware Over the Air (FOTO) not knowing at the time that it would change the process for rooting the phone later on.
I have tried many tutorials and checked various threads throughout the forum for a solution but it just seems AT&T phones are extremely hard to root nowadays.
Some of the things I have tried without success are:
TowelRoot
KingoRoot
Root De La Vega
and possibly a few various other methods.​
It is also possible that I may have done one of the above methods incorrectly, although I tried to follow the instructions as carefully as I could for each tutorial.
I have heard that it is easiest to root this phone while it is at KitKat 4.4.2 and I am curious if there is a way where I could downgrade the Android version and successfully root this phone. But I have also heard that AT&T patched 4.4.2 so that it was harder to root although I am not quite sure if this matters.
If anyone has any solution to my problem I would so greatly appreciate it. I want to be able to use this phone to its full potential before I get a new one.
With the 5.0 update comes a fully locked bootloader. ..which means no kernels....ever again. .
Downgrade is not possible to an older version. ..
No bootstrap recovery exists to my knowledge. ..and leaves you with no real root options. ..
Perhaps our devs could find a method. ...but support is not looking good for this older device.
You are locked up tight. ..
Very sorry. ...g
Sounds like you have a Note 3, not the 2.
What he said. Note 2 is i317 and has no lollipops

Anyone still stuck on 4.4.2?

Samsung noob here.
Bought a used Galaxy S Tab 10.5 a month ago. For some reason it's still on KitKat 4.4.2 and never got the update to Lollipop.
Any idea why?
Model: SM-T805W
Build #: KOT49H.T805WVLU0ANF5 (I search all around but couldn't find any info on T805WXXU0ANF5)
Carrier: Bell Canada (Although I don't use mobile data and only have an expired T-Mobile SIM in it to get rid of the "No SIM" message. I only use WiFi.)
Probably because there is no marshmallow rom at the moment.
Latest is 5.0.2 and can be downloaded from SamMobile.

Oh snap I meant Lollipop. Fixed OP
According to sammobile.com this is the latest firmware for T805W model:
Date: 2015-09-01
Version: Android 5.0.2
PDA: T805WVLU1BOD7
CSC: T805WOYA1BOD7
Are you non-rooted stock? As far as I know, one reason when OTA updates are not offered is when ROM status is not official or if the system is rooted (maybe when it is stock rooted, OTA is offered but cannot be installed).
Anyway, you can download the original firmware from sammobile.com as ashyx suggested and flash it using Odin. There are plenty of manuals how to do that here on xda.

Yes depends on your sw version & binary version
I have SM-G9880 S20 UltrA 5G Hong-Kong, and its firmwares bit number is 3 for Android 11 OneUI 3.1.
I want to downgrade to Oneui 2.5, but its firmwares bit numbers is less then 3 for all firmware versions.
Ive read that i cant do downgrade to firmware whose bit number is less then existing.
Is that means that for my model there is no possibility to downgrade from OneUI 3.1 to OneUI 2.5?
Even for OneUI 3.0 the bit number is 2, wich means that Samsung upped the bit number to 3 in OneUI 3.1 thus closing possibility to downgrade even to OneUI 3.0.
What can i do with this situation?
I need to flush my modem firmware.
I hope somebody can help I have the same issue I need to download grade to 2.5 from 3.1 on my SMG9880 (BRI)
