Rooting the phone is really easy, infact you can do it without even using a PC (towelroot). At the moment there is no custom recovery, but hopefully we will see that change once the phone is released in more countries (later this week).
As for unroot, one simple method would be to re-flash stock, but I assume you are looking for an easier solution than that.

That's what I am looking for too because of the bloody Barclays Bank app.
I want to root my LG G3, block ads, bloatware etc and then unroot to get Barklays app working
S4min, Grand 2, Note 2 - I always rooted phones and then unrooted by uninstalling root in SuperSu app.
Is there any similar method for LG G3?
Re-flashing to unroot doesn't make sense for me cos I will loose everything I needed the root for

I don't have my G3 yet to check (and not sure I will be rooting it straight away when I do get it, I want to see how far I can go without root first), but I cannot see why the unroot method in SuperSU would not work.

Flashing back to stock should take you back as if you have never rooted. Assuming all you did was root the phone.
If/when there are further modifications such as unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery images this might change.

[Q] Galaxy Tab S 10.5 sm-t807a

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:

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.

You could not have been looking very hard since this has been around for a long time: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Follow the instructions and you will be rooted and have TWRP.

New update and baseband
Yes i see that there is a root for the sprint s6 g920p but i updated the baseband to the new G920PVPU4CPL3 <---- will this method still work or will i brick my device because i tried to root it with chainfire auto root and it almost bricked it with the files they gave me that said specifically for the device

Rooting Samsung SM-T707A

I have been all over the forum looking for guidance on how to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE. I understand that the wizards at AT&T have locked the boot loader and that this is not an easy one. I have tried KingRoot, Kingo, and a few other less well-recommended root programs. Despite all these programs stating that they can work, none of them do. Did anyone find a program to root this old AT&T beast?

Android 6.01

You have to first downgrade to 5.01, then kingroot will work. There is also a thread on tab s forum about replacing kingroot with su. It's pretty easy to do, it just takes a little time.
