[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

Have superuser access but "-su: not found"

I have rooted my samsung galaxy s7 edge from sprint, G935PVPU4BQH1 with some engineering bootloader through odin. I am currently having trouble installing and running kali through the deploy apk. With some searching I found some help for setting up linux but I reached a dead end with a terminal emulator basically telling me I am not rooted with "/system/bin/sh: -su: not found" all I thought i know has been shaken and I see there is no spoon. Please help me root my galaxy s7 edge with the above software version or explain to me why I can't.
this is hard for a noob, any help is much apreciated
Please help ?
Sometimes a root doesn't take. You may have to retry as something could have gone wrong internally even if you followed instructions perfectly.

Sprint version has reported problems.
However, I strongly advise against rooting the device due to this post. If Chainfire has issues rooting the S7 consistantly, a community expert, then any attempts at rooting are purely experimental. At this point you may be able to root the device with a real possibility of a hard brick and no logs to prevent the same for future users.
If you still would like to give it a shot, I recommend reading the links in this post and last few pages of the root thread.

Thanks man I appreciate the link to that post, I still had the same error in my terminal emulator but then my dumbass figured out that there are multiple directories root can be installed in, I checked which one I had with root checker and had it fixed in the terminal, thank you

Does the dub version matter for rooting?

I have a samsung galaxy a51 device, running android11 with an exynos9611 cpu, and dub2 firmware, I found a tutorial on this site to root my phone, but it has dub1 version, so I decided not to follow it, because I do not want to brick my phone, so if anyone knows if the dub version matters or not when rooting, please let me know, because I want to root my phone safely, this being the first time I root a device. Thank you.

Rooting a Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337) in 2021

Greetings. It seems the AT&T subforum for the Galaxy S4 might be dead. I was trying to look for an up-to-date way to root this phone with Magisk, but it seems that step one isn't possible since apparently the bootloader isn't unlockable, or might not be one of the ones listed as usable. I can't check which one I have because neither adb shell nor terminal emulator recognize getprop, with the latter not allowing the punctuation. I want to see if I can use the sd card as internal storage, since apparently the Google Play app writes a lot of garbage until the available storage is only 1GB. I found that out by uninstalling its updates. What's the current modern way to use the SD card as internal storage for Android versions older than M?
Don't know what happened, but Retrial edited his post on "S4 Unified Collection!" such that the magisk rooting guide redirects to a guide for Xiaomi phones. Will that really work for the S4?
Forgive me for necro-ing but did you ever find a solution to this?

[Q] 4.3 AT&T root
Hello all, I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 that just updated to 4.3. Can someone direct me to how I can gain root access? Also, I am assuming that noone has published a way to crack the bootloader as of yet? Thanks in advance for any help...
forum.xda-developers.com
I would like to have an unroot guide for this phone to.
Basically, what I've found in this forum is that you have to "DOWNGRADE" to NB1 (from OK3), and then you can use "SAFESTRAP" of somekind(?) to get a rom, but without unlocked bootloader. I believe, this is going back to Android 4.4.2 or something. Basically, it's forcing to downgrade significantly, which beats the purpose.
I wanted an unlocked bootloader, to get newer ROMs, to increase storage. i.e. use external SD as internal. However, it seems apps don't always allow it to be installed this way, and also causes much headaches - speed is one thing, and data corruption is another etc.
In short, there is NO existing way to circumvent unlocking bootloader. Maybe a professional hacker may do it? NSA? By that point, use that cash to get a new phone. LOL.
Disappointed that this phone is still like brand new, and has plenty more life left, like, 10 more years... it keeps working.
