Does anyone know how to root the SM 837V tablet yet? And if so would you share on how to root?
The SM-T837V variant is bootloader locked so I wouldn't count on being able to root it.

Unlocking the bootloader and rooting are completely different from carrier locking/unlocking

no root on non unlocked bootloader MM. btw you cant unlock bootloader even if you wanted to
So I just got this phone from a friend who didn't need it anymore. I've rooted via KingRoot and then SuperSu-Me to rid of that crap. Has anyone managed to get TWRP on this device? Don't need to worry about KNOX but would love to start cranking out ROMs for the Verizon variant. Anyone have any ideas?
There's not available recoveries for your variant, because you have a locked bootloader phone.

There's no difference with root. You just can't unlock bootloader after the update. There are tons of threads about root already

He can't use those root files with an unlocked bootloader
I wish VZW users would preface their thread titles with [VERIZON] so the rest of us could save a few clicks and just ignore them.
@revolt1,
Don't hold your breath waiting. I doubt there'll be a method to unlock VZW Pixel XL bootloader running 7.1.1.
7.1.1 locked up the bootloader again. Need to wait for an exploit. I'm finding .ore and more these days that stock Android is my fav without root now that I have a non-root AdBlock method.

Cuz you have to be unlocked to root. Unlocking is step one before you can do anything.
An update locked the bootloader? Thanks for this, I'll not be going to vz to get this phone. Now I'm wondering if the update that the Google bought phone gets when a vz sim is inserted (what I've read) will do the same?

If you find one in stock it shouldn't have the update since it just came out last week. You can't remove sim and skip setup and don't connect to wifi. Then you can unlock before taking the OTA. That's what I did on my replacement pixel from best buy
Just to clarify, if you are already unlocked before taking the 7.1.1 update you will still be unlocked after update.

Hello,
First time poster. I just bought a refurbished unlocked Verizon Note 4. It is currently running Android Version: 6.0.1. I am interested in upgrading the OS to Nougat or Oreo (if possible) Do I have to root the phone to do this? I am not really interested in rooting, I just want to update the OS.
If I have to root, whats the easiest method? I read conflicting threads on the forums saying it cant be done with Verizon Note 4's. Some people say it can be done.
Thanks

Lol well you either have root and an unlocked phone or you dont have an unlocked phone. Hopefully you didnt get charged more for the alledged unlock. Unless you meant simlocked in which case , all verizon phones are unlocked and i hope you didnt pay more for it .

Sorry, when I said unlocked I meant SIM unlocked. I am from Canada and all our carriers simlock the phones while under contract. Anyways, is there a way to force upgrade the OS on these devices without rooting?

Not to my knowledge, but the root/bootloader exploit is for bpa1 which you can Odin back to or forward if applicable...couple of post recently with older bootloaders don't remember if you were one or not
