following this guilde you need custom recovery to root so you can't use root app's without root
Can any one say whether the Canadian 4.4.2 has multi user enabled, if not has any one tried to apply the multi user hack.
Newbie question. If I wanted to temporarily disable the root so that apps which may have an issue with rooted device can continue to work how would this be done. I saw in one forum where someone said they were only able to do this with the 4.2.2 ROM.

I just got prompted when starting KIES for the KitKat update. I have the US version of the Tab 3 10.1 (5210). I assume I can use your root steps to root the US KitKat firmware?
Here's what KIES says:
Current firmware version : PDA:NB2 / CSC:NB2 (XAR)
Latest firmware version : PDA:NH2 / CSC:NH2 (XAR)
Thanks

Use the xposed framework and there is a plugin called rootcloak.
Fix?
I recently did the Samsung update to Android 4.4.2. I've tried multiple times to root my device, but each time, the SuperSu has not functioned properly. The first time it would not update correctly, so I tried a different .zip and the SuperSu in that one would freeze every time I would try to use it. Will this fix the problems I am having?

Yeap! as LegendSmoker is referring, it seems chainfire SuperSU-v2.02 is the only one to survive 4.4.2 anti-root attacks!

Yes there is root, flash the kernel from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395 using Odin and then flash twrp 2.8.7.1 using flashify or Odin.
I have had root on 5.1.1 since last weekend.
Is there any faster way to get this firmware?
Now, I am downloading from samsung updates but it's too slow and will be taken 8 hours. Can I get the firm. through any cloud share?

It´s not possible to install TWRP
If you upgraded you firmware to the latest version OJ2 there is no way to root it yet.
If you still keep your original firmware you can try this:

I am running stock ROM and rooted with Magisk
Can I use Flashfire to install update? I know I will have to uncheck SuperSU.

There's already a very detailed thread going over all of this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048
Sorry. I looked but obviously not hard enough. Thank you.
Hey All,
I have been searching here for the past hour but only found root methods for older firmwares. Can the latest N920TUVU4EQG3 be rooted? Any help would be appreciated.
Anybody?
