Can someone give me a good reason Why I should root Galaxy Tab 2 ..?
I do not understand why everyone is getting crazy trying to root this tablet.
This tablet is perfect and I have it for 3 weeks and I haven't find anything annoying in the software that will make me change my mind to getting root on this tablet.
My main reason in rooting devices are to remove unwanted apps from my devices. But this tablet comes with the option to stop any unwanted apps and works perfect like the same way like titanium buckup does .. So were is the reason in getting root on this device ..?
Many people complaint about the screen shot button on the bar... I think this was one of the best idea from the developers in adding this option, because now I just can make notes in my tablet if someone calls by phone in less than one second withol out having to open another app or looking for a pen and paper something that will never find when I need it. This was the main purpose of the developer and I think is a shame that many people don't appreciate this option.
Plus everyone is having problems after rooting this device, also by experience in almost all the cases after rooting a device it always loose something or something never works, problems with GPS and Bluetooth, many bags and always have to be waiting for a new room update because the old one always have something wrong. Even the best rooms out there have bugs ...
WERE IS THE GOOD REASON IN ROOTING THIS DEVICE. ? I recommend people not to do it..
This is a nice tablet with a very good software, don't screw up the OS, if you want to delete some trash apps there is a option to stop them and they will disappear from the tablet.
The only thing that I really don't like about this tablet is the adapter to charge the tablet...! Many times I wanted to charge the tablet and I just can do it because I can't find the adapter.. Almost every android device comes with micro usb to charge and you can find micro usb cables in almost every house you go.. .. BUT this tablet just don't have it..! I'm been running away from apple devicesfor years because their stupid adapters and from their limitations... Now I have to deal with my own Android tablet and I'm facing the same stupid problem like all all apple fans do... One stupid adapter that nobody has to charge my tablet...! It SUCKS so bad....!
Note: This tablet has some bugs on the keyboard, but I think is because the so complicated coding from some websites with their pop up forms ,recatcha and stuff, and I just can find the automatic spelling on the keyboard.. Someone knows if there is one..?
I understand that samsung tryed to save money in making one adapter for everything, other than that I'm happy.
Also I'm very disappointed because Asus is coming out with a $250 Quad tablet that has all the missing features from this tablet , separated usb hdmi and charging plugs, better screen resolution and all that.. But they are taking way to long to send out to the public... I couldn't wait for Asus Memo... So sad.. I will have to deal a little. Unhappy with my samsung tab... But I know Samsung will learn from their mistakes and soon will realize that Asus can do the job better that Samsung... !

To improve the capabilities of usage, use apps that interact directly with system actions, titanium is just one of them, I have been using android for about 3 years now and in general, I wouldn't be able to do a lot of things without root (i.e. tasker actions to automatically control since when my home PC turns on, mute my cel while in a movie theatre, turn on BT while in car and connect to hands free device, etc).
Besides, if you follow the correct steps, it won't hurt and you can always get back to stock .
My 2 cents.

As others have mentioned Titanium Backup is extremely helpful for backing up your apps & data.
There may be pre-installed apps you don't use (Yahoo! or Netflix) that you can remove.
Other apps (such a Cerberus) have enhanced capabilities on a rooted device.
Personally I pretty much always wait a month after I get a new device before I root it but I will definitely be doing so on my Tab 2 7"
AdFree.
good day.
As others have said:
Titanium Backup
AdFree
Removing un-needed apps
Plus you can add the ability to Reverse Tether.
People use devices for many various task,
by rooting it it opens up your options.
Never mind the reasons, where's the root ?
Give me root! NOW!!!

Look Here
I think the more interesting question is why you as the sole owner of the device don't have root access by default? Its price wasn't subsidized by Amazon or AT&T (etc.) so why is Samsung prohibiting you from using YOUR device as you see fit?
In adition to all the other answers, mine is: Because you can. Thats part of the beauty of Android.

I am trying to get mine to root, have CWM on it already, but when I try to load from the SD card, it states

Not quite sure what to make of it.

Yup.
What's the file name?
Will rooting make SD useful?

Does rooting have any effect on the inability to move apps to SD in the ICS versioon of the Galaxy Tab 2? Titanium Backup is a major good reason to root, but if ICS is not going to allow the SD storage to be used for apps, this tablet is pretty much an oversized iPod, suitable mainly for media. I'm looking for an Android tablet that can be more useful as a computer than media player where I can install 32GB of SD and put programs on it, as I can with my rooted Nook Color, which looks better and better all the time with its CM7 OS.

Select Toggle Signature Verification Option in CWM Recovery, then install the zip....this is because the zip needs to be signed by the maker to be used without signature verification....hope it works
I rooted mine because..
There are several good apps and utilities out there that require root access to work.
Build prop editor...you need root to write new values
Several VPN clients require root to properly set up more than basic vpn connections
of course Titanium backup
Any app that needs to modify root level system settings.
You don't have to flash any custom roms, you can root and stay on the ICS 4.0.4 (what came on my Tab 2 7"
When the time comes and Samsung releases JB for the US version of GT3113 I'll probably have to reflash back to stock to reset or go to the website and manually download it and flash. May lose my root, hopefully will be able to re-root.
Hi all,
Just bought a tablet off amazon not too long ago, Kingpad K70 (tabletexpress is the company), and I have been trying to find a way to root it. I have tried the various methods like Chainfire, Towelroot, and others, but still unable to. It is running kitkat 4.4.4, says model number is as KINGPAD K70. Any insight or assistance would be great! I also have stock .img file from company, as version on website did not work.
Thanks all,

Try rooting with the following android apps.
Root Master
z4root
Universal Androot
Easy rooting toolkit
Framaroot
Thanks for your quick reply!
I tried all of the .apk files with no success so far but soon I will try the last one and update!
Well tried last one (root toolkit) on two different computers, both just waiting for device, Windows 8 had some compatibility issues, and my desktop, windows 7 automatically reinstalls the driver, and won't allow me to update to ADB device oddly.
Any insights?
Thanks
Same problem
I got the k70 with the rk3128 and NEED TO ROOT as well. I asked the customer service people at tabletexpress, and they weren't much help. I bought it off of amazon, and the title said it was compatible with 3d games... and the lie detector test determined, THAT WAS A LIE !!! no real racing, no dead trigger, no fast and furious, no temple run of any kind. I was lied to. The tablet is a POS to me, but could be better if I could root it. I googled til my brain was all googled out and found NOTHING. So now my only option it to complain and bother people here, amazon, and the customer service at TabletExpress for selling me such a POS tablet:good:

updated: okay, I downloaded kingoroot on my computer. I hooked it up. Had the usb debugging on. wifi is on. I had it recognize the tablet once and it gave me the options to unroot and reroot. I chose reroot. it failed. So im trying to go again, but this time to unroot, then root, however i cannot get it to connect anymore, it keeps saying the tablet is offline! So im pretty sure im missin somethin here.... its sayin its offline, and i read that im supposed to "tick always allow from this computer" to avoid this problem. where would i find this prompt? how do i get to it? also, its not rooted[i checked with root checker] i dunno why it gave me the options unroot/reroot
SUCCESS!!

:good::good: for you. I got around the "offline" thing by deleting the kingoroot app off the tablet, then proceeding normally. I did the unroot, but it failed, however it did remove some stuff that made my first reroot fail. So after I unrooted and failed. I rebooted the tablet, deleted the kingoroot app again, and proceeded to reroot. This time the reroot worked!! thank you angrynapkinz:good::good: hey, one more question, what apps to you recommend for this tablet. maybe something for the battery and the overheating. I also couldnt figure out how to play 3d games on it without it crashing
Try China Devices
is cwf custom firmware? Im not that experienced with flashing new ROMs, and it seems that most people here are about the brand name stuff. I was googling cfw's and found nothing except for this forum website that "specializes" in chinese tablets like the kingpad/dragontouch (pretty sure theyre all the same) i think the webmaster makes cfw's or if he doesn't, he'll find out. Thanks again for the root help:good:
Hey harlow, yea I meant custom firmware, the KitKat that they have loaded is obviously rooted previously, you'll notice the more you use it. I installed xposed installer and root browser's etc on it for battery monitoring and all, malwarebytes keeps picking up malware loaded into the tablet and every time I delete. It's reinstalled upon reboot so that's why I'm trying to figure out rom reflashing/cfw options. Still trying to figure out what to add and what not though so take your pick and let me know also what seems to work. I went search and found its been mix and match from forums.

Yeah the kitKat they got on there is no comparison to the OG one on my cheap ass LG L70. I did malwarebytes and avast and found nothing on it so i guess im lucky. Im using Nova Launcher because it looks nicer and functions better. And theres this thing in the Google Play store called Root Booster. idk if you heard of it but you can set your tablet onto one of three modes: Speed, Battery, and Stock. Im on Speed right now, and it boosted the RAM about 50mbs. (I still cant play real racing on it tho) Have you taken the back off yet??? I cant figure it out!! I wanna replace the battery with something with bigger nuts... The stock one is garbage. I can squeeze about 5 hours out of it. Maybe ill glue on some heat sinks onto the chips, it gets really hot when im netflixin. So ill keep an eye out for the cfws. Have you tried reflashing with the stock one they got on tabletexpress? i havnt tried that, but maybe it wont have malware on it?
Yea it sucks, haven't found an alternative yet and still trying to figure this thing out. I had to flash one they emailed me cause the site one didn't work previously. The malware is like coudw.a or cloudsservice.apk every reboot, and also having a constant 115b up and download. No I haven't tried any games yet, or tried to open it up but I might do that, as I'm getting about the same battery wise.

I think the tablet would work good as a playstation or rom player. I have yet to put my playstation games on it and also connect a ps3 controller to it. busy with differential equations and maplestory... I found a battery on aliexpress with about double the capacity. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/The-...ery-For-7-8-9-inch-tablet-PC/32213974542.html ...idk if itll fit tho. its a little thicker and longer on one side.... if it dont fit... ill make it fit > also, another app to boost the RAM is SmartBooster. I got a little over 200mb ram. yeah, ill update you when i find out other tips and shjt
Need PC/windoze to root.
"Root Android without PC," an info app on GP, indicates that phones/tablets with a kernel newer than 1/3/2014 can't be rooted w/o a PC. Framaroot doesn't work, it also fingers Kingo as possible solution. Kingo itself indicates that it's best for phones. I hate Windoze, but here goes.....
(Weeks ago, I saw something about invoking Linux instead--maybe it was a dream: Perhaps some of my brain cells exploded--no doubt due to "sprinting" cups at keg parties and then passing out long ago!)
I'm rating this thread a 3--still somewhat murky, without clear procedure to solution.
Thread is dead.
From rbrband57. This endeavor seems dead.
I still believe that replacing software/firmware is the key to getting the K70 to run better--the hardware likely is pretty good. I've been able to disable PRC bloatware, via some helpful cleanup software from GP. I'd like to uninstall. The loader at cold boot takes forever--I'd like to crucify that.
I'll reinstall kingoroot yet again, but I still don't know how to proceed further. Root confirm software says then rooted, but can't get SuperSu on--which might indicate true root, after all. Still not much info online.
My experience with rooting in the past was with a cheapo Icecream Polaroid 4.3" screen device from Big Lots: Full step-by-step procedure in one site, etc. Put a valid, new, upgraded .apk ROM on. Nothing can help the underpowered much, though--single core, 1GHz, perhaps, and 512MB sys mem.. GP worked sporadically afterwards--not really very well. Sold it to a guy in CA for his kid's Xmas last year.
Thanks for trying--Amazon no longer offers--K77, instead. Probably pretty much identical--hated, as well.
So my phone is now prompting me to update (and I can't even tell it to got to hell like I could on my S4 Mini ) but I refuse to do so until I know I can keep my root intact (or until Kingroot becomes capable of rooting that version).
Is there ANY way of keeping my root intact? Maybe by using the PC companion to update (this used to work before ICS didn't it?)? Or doing something to the phone (besides flashing firmware) to preserve the root ahead of the update?
I don't want to be installing a custom rom (and yes, I still count generic stock as a custom rom because it would get onto my phone just like any other custom rom) just to update and I absolutely need root for Link2SD so if I can't keep root in some way and Kingroot doesn't catch up then I'm going to stay on my current version forever, security be damned.

No. You can make prerooted 546 and flash it in recovery and it's only way how to retain root. As soon as you update using OTA you will loose root as system will be overwritten.

Maybe you can disable the Software Update app in settings...
By the way, however it`s your decision, I don`t understand reasons behind why not flashing latest software with Flashtool. There are sometimes nasty issues with upgrades, like people loosing LTE with OTA upgrades to 5.1.1 and so on. I would just backup everything and flash latest .570/.580 firmware (yes, even .546 is now getting outdated as upgrade to .580 becomes available to address MMS based vulnerabilities). Flashing software in flashmode is the same like flashing it through PC Companion and provides for clean way how to do system updates. You can even download version intended directly for your market/provider instead of generic one.
Flash the pre-rooted .546 zip. It has been posted weeks ago.

Because the phone isn't even two weeks old. Nowhere near time yet to risk bricking it doing non-standard things, I've already tested my luck enough by rooting it. And my region doesn't have 580 yet anyways. The inability to remove the battery makes me even more nervous about this sort of stuff, and yes I know there is a simulated battery pull, but that's still software and software gets fudged up which is the whole reason to actually physically remove the battery from your phone.
Not gonna happen thank you very much. Besides I'm never in a hurry with updating Android, it's always 2 steps forward one step back, never an all-round improvement. Some monkey of a programmer inevitably always rips out some base function every device should have, just look at ICS and the mess it's caused by choosing to ignore SD cards. Even Lollipop lacks things prior Android versions had for utterly no reason. Stagefright can kiss my you know what. Not gonna update till I can root with the click of a button avoiding almost all risk (in my mind anyways).

Well, seems you are new to XPERIA`s because there is hardly any way you can brick it. Battery pull is not a problem, because in addition to Power+VolUp reste, there is a push button hidden on the side of SIM card that triggers hard reset and switches the phone off.
But I aknowledge that you have your rights for your fears. However I wonder that with all your fears you would allow to install and run undocumented chinese app, that although roots your phone, may do other things and you will never know. Everyone is responsible for his own luck.

Yes and no. I had a neo but that was a very different device and I never felt the need to do anything custom to it (although I did check XDA for it) so it remains stock even today. Then I went to Samsung cuz everything Sony sucked at the time, at least in my price range. And now I'm back with Sony cuz there's something wrong with Samsung, dunno what, but I just don't like them so unless they're far ahead on paper I won't touch them again. (unless Sony tanks).
I didn't know about that button but I'd still rather not.
And I don't have anything sensitive on my phone so Kingroot can spy all it wants to. Of course I'd prefer it didn't, but if they absolutely have to then they're welcome to any and all info. Simply running an APK on my phone (that thousands have run before me) just seemed like the least brickable way of getting root (since I didn't have to do anything special like stuff up in the recovery or mess up an ADB command or anything like that). When I'd read about there being no root methods for 5.1.1 yet I erroneously took that to be all of Lollipop so I thought my phone was unrootable anyways when I turned it on and found it had lollipop (it was sealed so I thought it would still be on KitKat and easily rootable) so Kingroot was basically just a hail mary at the time. And since it worked so well I see no reason to ever do anything else.
I recived a brand new tablet due to NVIDIA recall évent and i wonder how long can i wait until switching her on. (Since doing so will remotly "terminate" the old one)
Now that i know the one i use has battery malfunction, I'll use and store it with that in mind, in a fireproof box, even if i had'nt the slightest overherheating issue with it.
I Also wanted to know how switching the new tablet on in 1 year or less would impact on the warenty, and how it works anyways, i read somewhere in geoforce forums, that replacement tabs would have a 1 year warenty, but nothing about that came in the box with the new tablet (no papiers no nothing) .Do you know about it ? Thank's.
if you use the search function you will easily find out a way how to keep both tablets...just sayin'...

I should have mentioned that i'm not willing to go through all that "kill the kill switch" process, witch seems fastidious to me. (by the way, really impressive reserch done by the guy who created it. I tried to catch up with it since its begining)
I'm used to one click root accès style things, and stock roms.
But i might get to it just for the ocasion of saving my Shield tab. Facing a deal here...
So I have one of those Chinese smartphones (Very Nice Phone BTW and cheap as hell) which I have got some time ago. I know the Android itself is clean however I have lately installed few cracked games outside the Android Market just to test them if they work before I buy them, the Apps itself didn't had any suspicious permissions but how can I check in 100% that my smartphone didn't get infected ? I don't have Wi-Fi since I have dropped the phone from 3rd floor and it stopped working. Does Factory Reset + Cache cleaning via Recovery Menu should solve the problem if there are any viruses in the system ? I also was thinking about flashing Official Android ROM from Needrom but I don't trust this website that much and only this website has the Official ROM for my smartphone. Tho I'm still unsure if I'm infected and want to check it before I will get my Wi-Fi fixed. After that I also want to get my smartphone to get rooted, which I know how to do it but firstly I want to ensure that the device is clean itself before getting a Root access on it.
P.S I don't really want to throw away my smartphone since I like it soo much and first of all I paid for it the real money.

Factory reset + Cache should solve this as it removes any apps from the device, flashing the ROM and a reset will take this one step further and if they don't work something is very wrong. However I doubt you have been infected but as always in situations such as this prevention is better than the cure, aslong as you take reasonable precautions (Scan/look at the apk etc) you should be fine.
Also talk of those apps are not tolerated at XDA
