I have just got a Galaxy Tab 2, unfortunately I updated before I thought of rooting, it's currently at v4.0.4, i've looked at rooting guides, but my firmware is how at UEBLH3, and the guides i have found only go to UEBLH2. Am i scuppered, or is there a way for me to root, or do i have to downgrade somehow?

Okay guys. Here we go. I screwed up the other day while trying to load a custom ROM following a friends instructions. I tripped Knox on my Verizon Note II 4.3 and was forced to downgrade to 4.1.1. My phone is no longer rooted and I am trying to figure out how to root from 4.1.1 with a locked bootloader and then use safestrap to install custom ROMs. Sadly I cannot find any info anywhere after several hours of searching. I've read up on Knox and I could care less about warranty info (I bought the phone used after all) and I just want to be able to load custom ROMs so I can better enjoy my phone while being able to restore APN settings since I am running on a non-Verizon carrier service. Please help!
Edit: I used RootChecker to make sure that my phone is no longer rooted after downgrading to 4.1.1
Edit: Fixed with Kingo Root
I've managed to root my Samsung TabPro w TowelRoot w/o tripping KNOX, and subsequently changed the ROM to a different/later stock version and successfully re-rooted after that. I've rooted a simpler pre-KNOX Samsung w ODIN and TWRP. Pretty easy to follow the directions for both. BUT, for rooting my low-end LG Leon running 5.1.1, I haven't found any attractive options. Looking at KingRoot convinced me that I do NOT want to go that route. All that to say that I'm no expert on rooting, but can research things and follow directions.
I've really appreciated the value of a rooted device with respect to getting rid of unwanted built-in apps, or at least keeping them from nagging me to update them. I'd like to have the same options with my LG Leon, but am NOT finding any credible approaches for obtaining root.
Any suggestions? I understand that a prior exploit that worked w 5.0.2 was patched, and so can't be used w 5.1.1. But, that was true for Samsung, and swapping out the kernel for an older, vulnerable one allowed me to root my TabPro w TowelRoot, and then restore the latest kernel w/o losing root. Might something like that be possible with my LG? I don't know enough to know how to put together something that could do that, only enough to be curious enough to ask if it could be done.
Just wondering. I'd really like to find a way to root this phone. Any suggestions? Thanks.
OK. I KEPT looking and, lo and behold, to my surprise, the solution was right here in the forum. It involves NO KingRoot or other weirdness, and it WORKED first shot. So, if you've got a T-Mobile LG Leon (or some other LG models), hop over to to the thread titled: "[GUIDE] how to root US LG G Stylo on 5.1.1 and unbrick updated on 9/2/2015" and check it out. It was stunningly simple, especially after rooting my Samsung TabPro TM-325.
Again, I'm running 5.1.1, not an earlier version.
I've tried CF Root, flashing CWM, and TWRP. I even tried downgrading it back to 5.1.1 via ODIN. Everything seems to brick the phone. I was wondering is there a root solution for this at all? Currently, I am exploring root methods that worked for other variants like the sprint model, or factory model. But I would really appreciate a root method that is designed for the SM-915T on 6.0.1 N915TUVUS2DPG2. Thanks.

I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab E (SM-T377A) and I need to root it, but I haven't been able to find any guides or .tar files to flash. I have found guides for the sprint version (SM-T377P), but I'm afraid that will screw something up if I try it.
Is it even possible?
Thanks for the help.
Not that I'm any help...
But I've got the same device and up against the same issue. I read on TECH Advisors web page and it suggested stumproot.org to root it. But I installed it and followed all the instructions but says my device isn't supported. So I believe our devices are too new....hope you find a way though and if so please let me know.
I'd like to know if there 's a way to root it, I recall seening a thread where you would have to downgrade to LP just to get it rooted, but that comes with risk and I like the marshmallow rom much better, so I hope that there's a way soon

Have you tried searching the S8 Plus forums here? I dont root, so I don't know the steps, but i know there's already guides here to follow depending on which firmware youre currently running.
