Or go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and use the drop downs menus to select your device, etc, submit, and it will list the firmware for your device. You may have to downgrade and ota again, not sure.

Get odin 1.85 here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32155-guide-tab-2-101-and-70-rootingcwmroms/page__hl__+unroot++gt++p3110 use the sammobile file you dowloaded, not theirs, (wrong file) follow instructions section E

Thank you for these suggestions.
However, they all consist in flashing a stock ROM and bootloader onto the device, overwriting the current setup.
Do I really need to to this, given that the current bootloader is stock (never flashed it, not needed with the method I used) and the ROM is 100% stock also (came from OTA). I am really curious about this thing and would like to understand what went wrong, instead of just overwriting everything and starting over.
Anyways, the suggested method should be fine in case i need to return the tablet for warranty purposes. That was my primary concern. Thanks!

When you you root you replace stock files and add some new files that are detected by the installation process of the OTA updates. This sets a flag to block further updates from Samsung. You can still update by restoring to stock then getting the updates then rooting again, but OTAs will not be automatically delivered to your device while its rooted.

AT&T Tab 4 8" T337A Temp Root

This is a temp root and will be removed every hard boot.
I am not responsible if you break your device!
You have been warned.​
Knox is not tripped​
Hello All, I Have found a temp root process for those who have the AT&T Tab 4 with the kernel build Thu Aug 13 17:01:34 KST 2015.
Download Tab 4(Temp root), you will have 3 files. Odin 3.07, boot(LP_fix).tar and Kingroot-4.1.apk.
Install KingRoot on your tablet run and click Start Root. After the first time the process of checked for root will take longer as su will still be installed.
You will now have KingUser installed in /system/app/
When uninstalling bloatware, do it in one go.
When you have to reboot, reboot into download mode or you will get the AT&T unauthorized screen.
Use Odin to Flash PDA with the boot(LP_fix).tar, this will wipe the su links so the kernel doesn't see it and will boot. You will reboot automatically back to the launcher and will be able to reboot without using Odin.
Need help furthering permanent root as this is beyond my skills.
Update 1/27/16 14:35
Deleting all knox related apps is safe so far, setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0 and a soft reboot seems to put kernel in permissive mode. Download a soft reboot app from the play store for reboots.
Don't let you tablet die and you don't have to keep doing this process!
Thanks to CocaFoca for the boot(LP_fix).tar.
Thanks for the dev(s) of KingRoot.

Does it work
Anyone try this yet?
---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
Seems kind of weird no one is commenting on this, wonder if it works

I see this on a few different sites but no comments on any of them. I use my tab for work and can't afford to be Guinea pig and turn tab into hockey puck so have to wait a while I guess. If anyone can confirm that this works let us know please

Seeing as how the author wont even reply its not worth the risk to me

This works just no hard boots. No knox trips either. Still working on recovery methods maybe someone can help upload there build.prop.

Just search soft reboot in play store and it has red arrows in a circle motion. As long as you don't mess with build prop you will be fine.

on your notes on the 27th you put to do.... setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0...... do I still do that? The last message you sent said as long as I dont mess with build prop I will be fine...

If you know what your doing you can change build.prop, do you need permissive kernel? All it does is disables SElinux for stuff like xsposed which isn't supported yet. Its aimed more to someone who will help farther to permanent root. The build prop is really good for this device.

I cant get that odin to open will 3.09 work? I already have that one installed

dumb question, I want viper4android and most say to flash in custom recovery. Can I still go into stock recovery without screwing things up? Then if I can I would have to go into download and flash through odin and then reroot right?

No custom recovery yet as I was told bootloader is locked, until someone confirms custom recovery works in am staying away as there's no Odin firmware and I need warranty. Yes Odin 3.09 will work but it will remove root really no need unless a hard reboot is needed your your tablet dies. Just keep with soft reboots. As for viper I would stay away soundalive is way better. Stock recovery will not work.

Better than viper4android? I highly doubt that. Don't think that is possible

First, just want to say thanks for sharing this info & zip. It brought my tab back from the dead after i rooted. (initially i was unaware it had a locked bootloader until after i rooted). I just have a cpl questions maybe someone in here can answer.
1. Has anyone tried using Flashify or Root Rashr to flash the boot_LP_fix.tar before powering off? I personally have never used either app so i dont know if either can flash .tar files. I know Mobile Odin would probably work, buy it doesn't support LP. 2. Has anyone installed busbox? 3. Do any of the "Hide Root" type apps function in such a way as to let the tab reboot? Those were just a few questions i had about this. Thanks for any info.

Hide root does not work has to do with the kernel checking for root or sumlinks, busy box installs and works but no idea on flashify.

Thanks. Appreciate the info. Im only looking for a way to safely power down bcuz about 2 or 3 times a week my tab doesnt get plugged I into a charged so it gets shut off. My girlfriends mother & son play with it & use it to stream movies. It would be great if there was a functional equivalent of Mobile Odin Pro so when i was done busing it i vould simply flash the tar. file so it would boot. Maybe ill do a little experimenting & see what happens. Thanks again

Can someone with a rooted SM-T337A do a system dump with these files included modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, recovery.img, a cache dump, and the PIT file??? Please

Thanks worked

I think I dun goofed :c. Was working fine, then I had to reboot, flashed the .tar, but I think I was a second late on catching it, because now it doesn't boot :c Hangs on ATT screen. HEEELP :C

Does anyone have a tar file for the t337a?

HELP! I bricked the S6 (Model is sm-s906L) and I cant find the exact PIT file!

Odin says i need a pit file to flash the original recovery onto the phone.
But I cant find this PIT file anywhere on the internet, please if anyone can get this PIT file for this MODEL i would greatly appreciate it!

$20 to fix your phone. Sounds pretty cheap.
See how much it costs from a repair shop.

Connect phone to your PC in download mode and do "firmware rescue" via Smart Switch.

I have this same phone......rooted. Can use your help. I want flash any working verizon rom. But more importantly I want to know how to recover from a brick..............
Noticed you were able to recovery from a brick......with Odin? Curious how. I tried to flash a stock Verizon rom, while rooted with ODIN, and pit file.......but it fails.
I am nervous of trying to flash TWRP and custom rom, if I don't know of a full proof recovery method.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Last question, does that stock contain the modem (modem.bin)? My phone is unbricked but the EFS is messed up because I flashed a marshmallow update via TWRP and did not backup my EFS. I eventally had to restore my original 5.0.2 stock rom.

The sure bet way that i know from doing would be root easiest would be autoroot unless kingoroot apk works for note 5 now, and then download the csc select apk https://csc-select.en.uptodown.com/android the app says it may work unrooted so maybe try that first otherwise for sure rooted works and so check the try root method box and itll take you to a screen showing cscs like spr bst xas.. choose spr, phone should reboot and have the animation. Just unroot if u want afterwards if u had to. Unless u havent ever been rooted and dont want to be....but then idk how you wouldve lost the stock animation.
---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
When u try the odin do you check rtn, clear efs and whatever else that other xda forum says? Maybe pain to try again vs this method which is not as long, download apk, autoroot if needed, change csc.

Major help needed please Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock T-Mobile

Here is the quick run down my Note 5 is rooted and was running without any issues ( Custom Rom installed : DARTHSTALKER I disabled ad block because I was having issues opening external links from twitter etc, right after that I just went ahead and restarted my phone and BOOM it would not boot up all I kept getting was this error message
Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock . I know I can probably just flash the stock image using SmartSwitch maybe? or even Odin
I had TWRP installed and have a backup , but I can't get into recovery at all if I could I'd just do a restore from backup
My main concern now is that how can I do this without losing root and data that is already on my device or is that impossible
Help is appreciated Please

Here is what I ended up doing and it worked just flashed stock firmware via Odin. thankfully i did not lose any data besides text messages and had to reinstall my apps. I did lose root so I had to root again
