[Q] Root 4.1.2 Please

I have looked everywhere so please don't slam me for asking but I cannot find a relatively simple way to root my XOOM running 4.1.2 - I have tried the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468298 method and it simply does not work. I unlocked the BL but then this "tool" asks me to install either CWM or another recovery which it just doesn't do, hence I can't root - Can anyone assist me?

I simply, also, cannot find the universal root file available anywhere

[Completed] Restoring a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 SCH-I925 (Verizon) to stock image.

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 SCH-I925 that has some form of a custom build on it. The settings are locked with an admin password. It appears to be customized for a specific use and I'm trying to determine how it can be restored to a stock image of the appropriate Android build so that it can be put to good use. I've tried searching and find different instructions on how to install a fresh build and IPL to a stock system.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for your expertise.

[Completed] HELP Devs Plz. Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F Failed to root after so many tries.

Hello Developers. I have Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F and i want to root it..
I treid all method (i guess). I also tried Rooting method of CF AUTO ROOT FILE which i did using by Odin tool.
But the problem is after flashing the file when phone reboots it shows SuperSu on my phone but when i open it to check whether its rooted or not it ask me to update binary. And when i try to update binary from Normal Mode it says installation failed.
I also checked with Root Checker Basic App and it also says that Your phone does not have root access in red lines.
I really want to use my phone's deep features but this wont me allow.
I really expect a reliable solution from here cause this is the only place where i can find some experts , pls Devs help me to root it. ( forgot to mention i also tried the one click root method, and very similar apps to root itself by phone.) Once root checker showed that my phone is rooted when i installed a app KINGUSER , and it was working to give root access to some apps. But i want to root with SuperSu. Got really frustrated:crying: by trying this hundreds of time pls help me. (And sorry for Bad English)

[AT&T Galaxy Tab E] Is there any way to root my device?

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
