To remove Root:
This Root Remover has been tested with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" P3100 (tested on jellybean)
REQUIREMENT: A rooted Tab 2.
•After you download this file, move it the root of your external SD card( /mnt/extSdCard ). This is the micro sdcard you insert in tablet slot. Your /mnt/sdcard folder is internal memory (not recognized in CWM recovery).
•Reboot into CWM (recovery) using Quick Boot app or
•Power OFF your tablet, disconnect from computer and restart in recovery (CWM) by pushing and holding POWER & Volume DOWN/LEFT buttons at same time. When Samsung Tab 2 logo appears, you can release power button but continue holding volume button for a few more seconds. Note: If you've done this on other Samsung devices, you will notice that it takes longer before blue CWM v5.5.0.4 text appears ... just be patient.
•Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around and POWER button to select an option.
Select install zip from sdcard. Choose Root_Remover file you already copied to root of sdcard.
When unrooting is finished, choose reboot system now from CWM menu.
NOTE-By downloading and using this file you understand and agree that you bear all responsibility for the use and anything it may do to your tablet.
DOWNLOAD-
Root_Remover.zip (h--p://www.mediafire.com/?ty54o6lah25w41d)
Replace (--) with tt.
For Root (tested on jellybean):
Use chainfire root its d best i have it.
U can google it or find it on xda search.
Dont use the above method to remove the chainfire root as it can be easily removed from its modified superuser application but it works as any other root and is superb!
Enjoy,
Kunal

Hey amit i have edited the link in my post n its now working. Yeah dats the correct package use odin to flash it. Dont use this root remover on cf autoroot. Cf autoroot has the option to completely remove the cf root in its own menu. After u have rooted your device, use a root checker(available on play store for free) to check that you device is fully rooted. When u root or flash a custom rom or do anything fishy with ur device using odin, ur warranty gets void as there is a counter in the tab 2 which keeps a record of how many times u have flashed ur firmware wid a custom rom or rooted it or done something fishy. To get your warranty back, use the TriangleAway app (another miracle by chainfire) to reset the flash counter to zero which means u get ur warranty back. Its paid on playstore but is free on his xda page. It only works if ur device is rooted. Nd yes u can move apps to sd after rooting.
Good luck n happy flashing

unrooting problem
Kunal
As you said, I unrooted my tab.
Earlier, I was using official stock 4.1.1
Then I rooted my phone and updated it to cm10 nightly
But that cfw was not good enough (no offense)
To go back to my old stock, I restored my stock which I backedup while updating to cfw via rom manager
Now I wanted to unroot and used the app advised by you
But now when I'm tryin to update my tab using OTA by going under Software Update option in Settings, it is saying following message:
YOUR DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED. SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE
how to fix this?

Factory reset should fix the issue.

Hey man, sorry for extremely late reply.
To fix this (Do this after unroot only) just connect your tab to kies and then it should recognize your tab and from there you can do the update and after the update you can follow the same root method to root your device. Good luck
PS-I was not able to perform the ota update because of the same problem and used kies to do the same.

when u use the method of flashing .tar file using odin its like unrooting your phone ; flashing the whole firmware in your phone again . in reboot mode or i guess the recovery mode ur talking about where u need to press buttons in ur device to be able to do that. it does the same thing but it just a lot easier than using odin.
but i guess your not rooted so just use the recovery mode or even in your settings option ; there is also factory reset option . but when your rooted, u need to go in odin method ..

Bro,
Power+home key +volume up= recovery mode
In this mode you can factory reset /wipe data/wipe cached partition/install zip etc.
Poeer+home key+volume down= download mode
In this mode can flash any custom rom/recovery etc. Means you can flash .tar file with your computer . But you need odin etc installed on your pc.
Hope this helps... This has nothing to do with rooted or unrooted device.

Since your phone is rooted , even you will flash/install rom or "custom" rom it wont unroot your phone because flashing "custom" rom from the name itself, it is customized by our respected developers to make our device more personalize and so we can do some things in our device that we cant do in our non-rooted phones. you need proper files to remove root in your device its called unrooting or unbricking. Maybe some feauters dont work because of your custom rom or any system app you accidentally deleted. to correct it , you can do factory reset but since it didnt work you can try to restore your backup if you ever made one. But i suggest to unroot your device or return it to its stock to be sure so you can really start all over again...
you can easily search how to unroot your phone.

Rooting P905 noobie?

Hi
OK I'm fed up of not having the ability to delete or create files on my SD card.
I have an European 905 model and I want to root it. I'm new to rooting so this is all foreign to me, however, is there a good guide to root a P905?
Plus if I ever want to unroot, how do I go about it?.
Thank you

Google Towelroot, it's easy to use. Just install to your tablet like any other app and press "make it rain".
This works only if you haven't updated your device to version which got this vulnerability patched.
This also shouldn't burn your Knox warranty. At least it didn't for me on my P905 and Note 3.

Thanks, how do you uninstall this towelroot if I sell my tablet in the future and how do I patch my tablet so I can delete the files from my SD card please?.

After rooting, install SuperSU, I think you can un-root your device with that and do factory reset. But I think best way is to download your firmware from Sammobile or so and flash with Odin if you want your device back to stock. This makes your device be like it's never powered on before - since it's completely stock, all root modifications and so are gone.
About deleting files, you should be able to do that just from stock file manager app?

Thank you Spere, the reason why I want to root is that I use my tablet as a comic reader and comicat can't delete the files, or Diceplayer for video. As for superuser, what do I need so I can allow apps to delete files as normal.
Can I ask please which firmware do you choose from Sammobile, I bought mine from the UK but its originally from Spain. So can I choose a UK firmware?, plus how do I flash with Odin.

Open dialer and type *#1234# and you should see AP, CP and CSC. This is firmware you are curently running and this you should download. In case something goes wrong or you want your device back to stock, flash it. There are tons of guides how to flash with odin.
When you are rooted, there are several apps to fix that extSdCard writing problem HERE is one, an HERE a lot more.
If you haven't ever rooted a phone, or flashed a ROM, you should really read a lot before doing anything, just in case. So you know what you do and why you do, and still if something fails, you know how to recover your device.

Yes.
1. Download - install - run Towelroot (Reboot your device after that if it does not do that automatcally)
2. Install SuperSU (This is superuser management tool - no app can use root acces if you don't grant it through SuperSU, so no app can do bad things to your device without you knowing. When SuperSU asks for updating binary, choose default method (if this hangs for like 5mis and nothing happens, just reboot device and take a second try) and if it asks about disabling KNOX, select yes. Then reboot device.)
3. Install extSdCard fix and run it (grant permission when SuperSU asks it)
4. Reboot - DONE!
Remember that by rooting you void your device warranty and you do it by your own risk. You also can brick your device if you are messing with system files or root apps.

Well, Knox warranty is kinda different thing, but Samsung have been using it deny warranty repairs - in some countries, some not.
Towelroot shouldn't void your Knox warranty, since you have P905 which uses snapdragon processor, but no one can promise it to you. I've used it two times with no problems, and many other have also used it, but there's always a risk. Read more about towelroot from its own thread (Google towelroot xda).

Working Root for At&t Galaxy Tab 3 ( SM-T217A ) 4.4.2 Kitkat O.S !!!!

FINALLY SUCCESS !! This is how I did it. Download ->..*Kingroot 4.5 apk*.. After you install is press the circle button it will then root your Tab.. But then we need to get rid of Kingroot and all of it dependencies. What you want to do is download busybox install, open and grant root access to busybox through King root, make sure to hit the install button at the bottom of the busybox app . After that go to play store download *Supersume*..... Yes Supersume! After you install Supersume open it it and click on the button and it will install Supersu with the binaries updated and uninstall all of King root dependencies for you. Okay now we have supersu installed, now for the tricky part. You do not want to reboot your phone or you will lose supersu and have to start from the beginning. I repeat do not reboot your device yet... Go to play store download and install Flashfire apk by Chainfire and then go to XDA Supersu tread by Chainfire and download the latest flashable Supersu.zip.. Okay now that we have those two things, go back and open up Flashfire app and look for where it says OTA firmware / zips click that button and look for your Supersu.zip that you downloaded from XDA click on it an hit the check mark at the top.. Now look for where it says *Ever root* click on that make sure to hit the check mark at the top. FIND reboot and make sure that normal is checked click on the check mark at the top and that will take to back out to where there's a circle and lightning bolt Press that... Flashfire is now flashing the new Supersu. Zip for you and also inject root into your system via Ever root.... Once it reboots you will have the latest supersu and be able to reboot without losing root. This does not trip Knox.. Have fun and hit the thanks button if it helped. But please give thanks to those who made the apps King root, Supersume, Busybox, Supersu and Flashfire.. Because without those Developer's this would not be possible..

I can verify this roots the t217a. I had to unmount my sdcard and do the flashfire option to get su to stick but it did and does work. Hopefully we can get a recovery and toms now. This is a nice little tablet for free since I use it tethered through tmo and got it as payment for moving files from one laptop to another with a usb stick lol

If you havnt checked yet KNOX is still intacted.. So it doesn't trip KNOX. Which means warranty is still available if your still covered.. Also, I'm going to message Chainfire to find out if it is possible to create a Odin flashable Backup using some of the file's I have from my Flashfire Backup.. If it is possible we will have a way to recover from a boot loop or a softbick for that matter.. If so I will Experiment with flashing T-Mobile or the International TouchWiz Custom Roms using Flashfire.. I have two AT&T note 3's and I have had success installing T Mobile and international roms on both devices, if I'm not mistaken even a few Sprint custom TouchWiz Roms work on those phone's.. We have everything needed to have a Custom TouchWiz Rom except a restorable Backup.... Keep your eyes on development for this tab cause if I manage to get one to Load an that Runs well I will ask permission to post their Rom with a how to for At&t Tab 3...

Thanks for the hard work, if I can help please let me know.
Hey is there anyway to get 442 to directly save to the external sd card with the os as is?

I think I tripped Knox. My tablet boots up with the Samsung logo and "CUSTOM" underneath it and I can't find anything Knox related in settings now

No you didn't trip Knox... Mine also had the Custom pad lock when booting up.. If you would like to get rid of it just download and install xposed framework. After you install it open the xposed app and look for downloads, there you will find an app called Wanam Xposed. Open that app and look for security hacks, click on that and you will see where it says firmware status official or custom make sure its check marked. That will make your firmware official and get rid of the padlock after two reboots. If you would like to check your Knox you can download Samsung Phone Info apk I use the plus version but the free one should have you're Knox info also. Hope that helps.

Ok cool. Is there a recovery yet?

Does this add twrp or is just for rooting?

As far as I know, the bootloader is locked so there won't be any custom recovery unless that is unlocked.
