I am trying to root the fierce 2 but it doesnt seem to flash the twrp recovery even though I am sure I did everything right! Nothing happens at the last step where you said to take out the battery then click download and connect the phone to the PC. Nothing happens the phone just shows the Actel logo and then vibrates and turns of then back on over and over. Any ideas?
Note I did not do step 5

Use my unbricking method to restore your device, and i don't think Step 5 should be a problem.

Phones not in boot loop it works fine. Just nothing happens when I click download and connect the phone without the battery.

check your pm :good:

After much hardwork @codelover and I are pleased to release both stock rom as well as TWRP 2.8.6.0

A Brain
Usage:
For flashing either pre-rooted Rom and/or TWRP you will need spft+scatter file. It is imperative that you make sure that if you got a v31 you only uses v31 files not v38. Same for the v38 users only use v38 files. You have been warned.

Sorry if you are a noob but please try to understand that things we may ask of your will require this and becomes too much of a slow down if we have to guide you thur everything.

Faq:
Question: How do I know which variant I have?
Ansere:
Method #1
From a booted android, goto Settings > About > Build number
You should see something like this.
RCT6773W22-ANDROID4.4.2-3101-V38-V1.8.0
Method #2 (Better & more accurate)
For this your device must be rooted & already have USB Debugging Mode enabled.
Make sure adb.exe has been installed on your system (computer).
Execute the following adb command:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/cmdline
then search for ‘lcm’ text in the output:
If lcm=cpt_clap070wp03xg_lvds < you need to use v31 files
If lcm=1-lxjc070whm270_18a_rgb < you need to use v38 files
Question: What if I dont remember which variant I have and can’t access adb?
Ansere: If this is the case we will need to use SP Flash Tool to help identify your variant.
Open SF Flash Tool, load V38 scatter and switch to ‘Read Back’ tab. Clear all then click Add,
Click the new item & change the output file name from ROM_0 to ROM.txt,
edit the readback address as below:
Start Address: 0x9000000 / Length: 0x1000
Then press “Read back” button, now connect the tab while powered off.
When it’s done, open the file with wordpad and check if you have “ANDROID” at the beginning of the file, if your answer is yes then you have V38, otherwise use V31.

I can't say as to why but you do need the self education one can learn about how to use spflash tool,, seeing as that's the way that I know that's the first info I could offer ,,, you should get your version information first, then download your ROM because the scatter file that had reports of best results are in the full firmware, and you then need to know that the reset button will bring up a driver install but it happens fast to catch this you need the device manager in windows open, plug the rct in then press reset with a tothpick or other small pin ect,, the device shows up with a sound chimes on windows, right click the new device in the USB group and install using the hosted driver,,, now to the spflash tool its self load the scatter in the full ROM related to the vershion you have and then only check recovery,,, and find the twrp.IMG in you downloads and use only the download option in the spflashtools,, and click download then Right after hit reset on the back of the tablet,,, it can be done ,,,, even for the new people wanting to learn,,, regarding the twrp,installer.exe I linked to, I have no knowledge it was only reported to be a full success by another user before you so I wanted to offer a fast way for others to find it ,, so I linked to the .exe,,, and lastly ON MY TABLET I HAVE TO BE ON A CHARGER TO LAUNCH RECOVERY AT BOOT USING VOLUME KEY,..and you can download a root reboot apk that will boot from inside android directly into recovery,, maybe I helped,,,, p.s. another great thing the full ROM offers is the original OEM recovery.. Pleas do try to learn. As always i do wish every one the best

[Guide] How to Root Cube T8 Plus

Hi
I found a russian site how to root the Cube T8 Plus h**p://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t695306.html. Here a short translation:
Disclaimer: ******* I'm not responsible for any damages *******
1. Download SuperSu directly to your Cube T8 from official site: h**p://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Download Flash Utility/Driver on your PC: h**p://uploaded.net/file/eyo5yt8c
3. Download TWRP for Cube T8 on your PC: h**p://uploaded.net/file/o54jinin and extract its content to a folder.
Mirror: https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...ourcekey=0-11J8nUVn2_sUUAPHA9kwWg&usp=sharing
4. Install Device Driver from Step 2. on your PC (you have to agree Security warning). Depending on Windows version used, disabling Driver Signing might be required prior installation.
5. Start flash_tool.exe
6. Go to "Download" tab and Click "Scatter-Loading" Button, move to folder created in Step 3. and select the file "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt". Press the "Download" Button
7. Power down your Cube T8 tablet. After power down, connect it to a USB Port on your PC (No, you don't need to power it up - leave it powered down!). After a few moments, the flash tool should recognise the tablet and will install twrp recovery and should show "Success" Screen
8. Remove tablet from PC. Boot into Boot Selection by pressing Volume-Up and Power button simultaneously, Select "Recovery" and wait for twrp booting up.
9. In twrp, Install Zip File downloaded on Step 1. This should be found in Folder "MyFavorite"
10. Reboot device. By selecting "Reboot" in twrp, the device will hang. But don't worry; just press the power button for about 10 seconds for a forced reboot.
11. Voilà, you have a rooted Cube T8 Plus

Thanks for the guide. Can you provide more mirror? Uploaded is currently blocked in my country. Google Drive would be sweet.
Thanks.

Anybody tried this?

It works perfectly, but I had to disable the driver's signature check.
Now I just need the modified scatter file to get a better memory repartition. These russian guys on pda.ru found out how to repartition the memory, but the file is now disappeared from internet http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=695306&st=560#entry44767726

Yes !
it worked for me but i didnt succeed in installing the right driver (package given in this post was correctly installed) for tablet in off mode,
so i had to force download of recovery and if SuperSU install (with error) when i launch it it warn for binary installation.
but root is effective and i can now use soft like adaway or else that need complete root access :victory:

That's weird, it worked flawlessly for me.
By the way, the internal 2 GB storage is way to small for me, I need a bigger partition and since the 4pda guys deleted their scatter files, I'm trying to create it by myself following this guide, I hope to not mess up things
Ok, I found the scatter editor (that was deleted too). Here you can download it. OP, if you want, you can add it in the guide.

Thanks for your feedback and your work Dyonysus, i assume all errors was consecutive to Kingroot installation (he didn't succeed in rooting but i left it installed when i flashed the recovery as i checked sometmes if a root policy was avaible)

This root guide can be used for Cube T8 also?

I also confirm this method works perfectly. Good job finding this.

So, have you succeeded in repartitioning the internal memory? If yes, did you face any issues or errors in the process and is the device stable and working as fast afterwards?

Unfortunately I didn't. I got a bunch of problems tryin' to forge the new scatter file and, when I finally got a decent one, the damn tool didn't flash it properly.
If someone could find those two files or just ask those russian guys to upload them again, it'd be terrific.

Hi,
This post is a subject to change (grow), since I will keep it as a record for my tips for this fine tablet.
Installation of TWRP recovery and increasing /data partition (YES! That's possible)
I've succeeded getting TWRP, root and larger /data partition, so after screenshot I'll put detailed how-to. Sorry for duplicating first post, but I'd like to have everything in one place in the way I exactly did it.
Warning: this method seems to be blocked in some newer OS updates, see this post for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64801688&postcount=25

You need SD card for that.
Cube T8 Plus TWRP and root:
1. Download SuperSu and copy it to the root of SD card (without extracting): http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Downlad Utility/Driver to PC: http://uploaded.net/file/eyo5yt8c
3. Download Cube T8 TWRP recovery to PC: http://uploaded.net/file/o54jinin and unpack.
4. Install driver on PC. Depending on Windows version, if the driver installation fails, it may be necessary to disable signature check (google for that).
5. Run flash_tool (downloaded in step 2). If it doesn't run, try copy it to the root folder of your hard drive, eg. C:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1516.00\, albo D:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1516.00\
6. In "Download" section choose "Scatter-Loading" point to "MT6753_Android_scatter" from /Recovery (downloaded in step 3), press "Download" button.
7. Turn off the tablet. Connect it via USB to PC (tablet needs to be switched off!). After short while, flashing tool should recognize the tablet and start flashing automatically, installing TWRP recovery. After that you should get "Success" screen.
8. Disconnect tablet from PC. Run it in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER simultanously.
9. Using VOLUME_UP, choose "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN". Wait untill TWRP starts.
10. In TWRP choose 'install ZIP' and point to "/external sd/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"
11. After installation is finished, choose "Reboot". Recovery will hang, but do not fear Press Power for 10s to force turn off. Then turn on the tablet.
Your tablet is now rooted!
Change partition size:
1. Download and copy to the root of SD (without extracting) Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip: (take attachment from the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-how-to-resize-data-internal-t3180978/ )
2. Run the tablet in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER simultanously.
3. Using VOLUME_UP, choose "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN". Wait untill TWRP starts.
4. In TWRP choose 'install ZIP' and point to "external sd/Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip""
5. In one of following windows choose the partition size. I recommend between 8GB and 10GB. WARNING: If you choose less than the current size, you may loose your data. More than or equal to 8GB is a safe value.
Enabling Multiuser accounts:
1. The device must be rooted
2. Use any root explorer to edit /system/build.prop.
3. Add to the end of a file:
Code:
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=5
4. Reboot
Info: After first try to swich to guest the device force rebooted, but then it worked well.
Disabling killing background apps
If you encounter situation in which apps are being killed right after they are put to background (each application switch using recent apps causes application reinitialization), just make sure that Developer Options/Apps/Don't keep activities is switched off!
Permamently disabling pre-installed chinese apps (they will not reappear after full reboot)
There are 6 chinese apps pre-installed, which can be easily disabled. You can try to simply uninstall them, but you'll find that after full reboot they reappear.
So the best way to disable them is to use any root explorer and get rid APKs in /system/vendor/operator/app. I myself renamed app folder to app.old. They do not appear anymore.
What to do if tablet seems to be dead (black screen - no reaction), but it just misbehaves
Couple of times I've had a situation in which the screen was blank and I couldn't wake up the device. I could however run recovery, so the first time I performed reset from recovery and it helped.
Next time I found out that it's automatic brightness that fails and causes the screen to go blank. So the solution is to press power button, make a swipe gesture from the top to show brightness slider (you will not see it, but it works even on the lockscreen), and try to blindly press this slider. It should be about 2,7 cm (1,06 inch) from the top, with ca. 3cm (1,2 inch) margins on the left and right. Then stop using autobrightness with slider set to zero.

Thanks a ton
Amazing , followed your instructions and my tablet is now rooted and also has 9+GB of data partition. Thanks a ton.. Keep up the good work.
--Rao:

after using the resize script it not remount the partition and android not start. Android ask for a password to "decrypt data" but the problem is that the partition is missing.
Any suggest about this?
thanks
For the moment i can resize partition up to 6 gb using a edited scatter file

Please can I use this safely on the original Cube T8?

The steps are the same! Only the files for drivers and TWRP Recovery change. I need to put a guide together for the T8.

Hi,
I've succeeded today getting TWRP, root and larger /data partition, so after screenshot I'll put detailed how-to. Sorry for duplicating first post, but I'd like to have everything in one place in the way I exactly did it.
All credits go to OP and @odigitech for http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-how-to-resize-data-internal-t3180978
Screenshot:
You need SD card for that.
Cube T8 Plus TWRP and root:
1. Download SuperSu and copy it to the root of SD card (without extracting): http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
2. Downlad Utility/Driver to PC: http://uploaded.net/file/eyo5yt8c
3. Download Cube T8 TWRP recovery to PC: http://uploaded.net/file/o54jinin and unpack.
4. Install driver on PC. Depending on Windows version, if the driver installation fails, it may be necessary to disable signature check (google for that).
5. Run flash_tool (downloaded in step 2). If it doesn't run, try copy it to the root folder of your hard drive, eg. C:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1516.00\, albo D:\SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1516.00\
6. In "Download" section choose "Scatter-Loading" point to "MT6753_Android_scatter" from /Recovery (downloaded in step 3), press "Download" button.
7. Turn off the tablet. Connect it via USB to PC (tablet needs to be switched off!). After short while, flashing tool should recognize the tablet and start flashing automatically, installing TWRP recovery. After that you should get "Success" screen.
8. Disconnect tablet from PC. Run it in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER simultanously.
9. Using VOLUME_UP, choose "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN". Wait untill TWRP starts.
10. In TWRP choose 'install ZIP' and point to "/external sd/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"
11. After installation is finished, choose "Reboot". Recovery will hang, but do not fear Press Power for 10s to force turn off. Then turn on the tablet.
Your tablet is now rooted!
Change partition size:
1. Download and copy to the root of SD (without extracting) Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip:
2. Run the tablet in Recovery by pressing VOLUME_UP and POWER simultanously.
3. Using VOLUME_UP, choose "Recovery" and confirm it by pressing "VOLUME_DOWN". Wait untill TWRP starts.
4. In TWRP choose 'install ZIP' and point to "external sd/Resize_v22.4.1-signed.zip""
5. In one of following windows choose the partition size. I recommend between 8GB and 10GB. WARNING: If you choose less than the current size, you may loose your data. More than or equal to 8GB is a safe value.

[HOWTO] Unlock and root the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

Hey guys,
I know its the same with the other tablets but i wanna make one just cause its easier for people.
How to unlock::
1. Turn on your device and then go to settings --> scroll down to about tablet --> Software Information then tap the Build number 7 or 8 times or until it says you unlocked developer options.
2. Go to developer options and tick OEM UNLOCK and then a warning will pop up and just accept it.
3. Turn off your device, then while holding both volume up and down, connect your device to the pc.
4. A New screen should appear saying stuff about custom roms and stuff, Jut hold and press the up button until it resets. ( THis will erase everything on the tablet)
5. if you're like me and set up the tablet and went straightfoward to unlocking the bootloader, follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/how-to-bypass-rmm-prenormal-to-install-t3891193
So you wont have any issues flashing roms a nd stuff and dont have to wait 7 days.
6. Now your bootloader should be unlocked! (To enter download/odin mode: Do the same thing, Turn off the device and hold both volume buttons while connecting to the pc then instead of long pressing up, just press up once.)
How to root:
1. Download the firmware for your your tablet, i dont know if i can link the sites but you can google it.
2. Extract only the AP portion of the firmware.
3. Open up the AP portion with 7-zip or winrar
4. extract the boot.img.lz4 out of the AP file
5. Download Lz4 https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases to your pc corresponding version.
6. Extract the LZ4 to the same area where the boot.img.lz4 is
7. Open command prompt in that folder and then do
Code:
lz4 boot.img.lz4 boot.img
8. Move the boot.img to your tablet, open up magisk manager then clicked Advanced Settings or Advanced, then untick Perserve AVB 2.0/Dm-verity and FIle Encryption then patch it.
9. Take the patched_magisk out of the tablet to your pc and then rename it from magisk_patched.img to boot.img
10. Use 7-zip or winrar and right click on the boot.img and add to archive
11. Select Tar (This is 7-zip havent tried winrar)
12. Once its complete use odin to flash that boot.tar on the AP Section
13. You should now be rooted

If you don’t know what you are doing, I suggest not rooting your device

Hi I'm familiar with magisk and oneplus, motorola, htc etc but not with Samsung. How can I still upgrade my device without losing root?
My tab S6 lite, notifies me about an upgrade but it looks like it hasn't got an a and B psystem partition so you can love update en before reboot just use magisk to patch the bootloader and keep root. Any suggestions?

You cannot install the OTA updates if you are rooted.
Only solution:
* back up of your apps and data with Titanium Backup
* clean install of the new ROM (flashing with ODIN), once the new firmware is available on samfrew.com
* patch the boot.img with magisk, so you are rooted again an can install Titanium
* restore te apps and data with Titanium Backup
Maybe someone can make an update script once we have a TWRP-recovery.

If you do not buy new devices for sometimes years and are not a native English speaker it can be very hard to figure out what is being written in abbreviations.

ibb.co/XtDpjcT
Hopefully the picture shows however its just a SS of my Root Checker app showing that it is indeed possible to root the tab 6 lite (or at least SM-P610). Since there are plenty of easy to follow guides regarding how to unlock the boot loader for this device i'm going to skip past that part and jump into what actually gave me 12+ hours of frustration.
Once the boot loader is unlocked it is time to find the stock firmware for this device (which I feel its necessary to mention that there are 2 that are almost identical save for literally one number).
1. XAR-P610XXU1BTI3-20200924123941 <---- WRONG!
2. XAR-P610XXU2BTI3-20200924123941 <----- RIGHT!
once you have the correct firmware as seen above and its downloaded onto your computer open the compressed file (I used WinRAR) and you should see 4 different files.
1. AP_P610XXU2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS10.tar.md5
2. BL_P610XXU2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
3. HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_P610OXM2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
4. CSC_OMC_OXM_P610OXM2BTI3_CL19529942_QB34299355_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
The file needed in the next step is the one I have listed as number 1 (beginning with AP). Select just that one and extract it to your desktop. At this point you are going to need a compression software (I used 7Zip which is free). Once you have 7Zip installed right click on the AP file that's on your desktop and just below the open with option you should see an option that says 7 Zip with and extendable sidebar. On that same sidebar the first option you should see is "Open Archive" which you will want to select.
You should now be looking at a window with 8 files and 1 folder however the only file you should be concerned with is the one named "boot.img.lz4". **this is where it gets kinda funky if your not overly familiar with this process**
At this point you will want to go to github.com/lz4/lz4/releases and scroll down a little until you see a download link for a file "lz4_win64_v1_9_2.zip". Once downloaded open the zip and extract the entire folder to your desktop (it should be named LZ by default).
Open the LZ folder and take the "boot.img.lz4" file you extracted earlier and copy it into the LZ folder. Once copied simply Drag and drop "boot.img.lz4" onto the .exe called "lz4". If done correctly a new file should suddenly appear in the same folder that is now simply named "boot" but you will notice that it is now in a Disk Image File format.
(at the end of the guide ill put a URL for a video which shows exactly what I just described here, please follow the video if there is any confusion).
At this point you are going to connect your tab 6 lite to your computer and if it hasn't been done already turn on USB debugging from the developers option and install any drivers needed. Once your tablet and computer are able to communicate (i.e you can open your tablet as a drive on your computer) you will want to copy the "boot" file from the previous step into someplace you will remember (I used my downloads folder). Once onto the tablet you will now download and open Magisk Manager and proceed to patch only this one specific file that you have copied over.
Once patched you should see a copy of the boot file in your downloads folder which will now be named "Magisk_Patched". take this newly patched file and copy in onto your computers desktop.
Rename "Magisk_Patched" to "boot.img" and then right click the file. Again you will want to hover over the 7 Zip option however this time you are going to select the option "add to archive..." which is about halfway down the list. Once selected a new window will come up which will allow you to set the format to .tar. with the name set to boot.tar and .tar selected as the format hit the OK button and on your desktop a new WinRAR Archive file should appear named boot.tar.
Now is when you can finally boot your tablet into Odin mode and open Odin as an Administrator (I used the latest version 3.14.4). Once Odin recognizes your device select the AP button and select the newly created boot.tar as your input (The file location should look similar to this C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\boot.tar provided you saved everything on your desktop like I did).
Once loaded into Odin select the options tab and UN-select Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time before hitting the Start option.
At this point if you did everything correct you should see the boot file being flashed onto the device. Once completed with no errors boot the device into the normal stock recovery and wipe the Cache and then factory reset the device. On the next boot up you should see in addition to the normal "boot loader is unlocked blah blah blah" another message that says you have an illegitimate copy of android on your device and that it may not function or update properly.
Just ignore the message and after a few moments the device should continue to boot into the initial set up page. Work your way through the set up and go online to re-download Magisk Manager. This time when you open the app for the first time it will give you a dialog box that says that the Magisk Operation is incomplete and will ask you if you want to complete it. Agree to complete the process and it will auto run in the background for a moment before it shows completed.
It was finally at this point that I ran Root checker and was met with the very first picture in my post. The biggest Issue I found in all of this was the fact that aside from one single comment in a post here on xda, nowhere else does it explain that you need to extract the boot file, convert it first into an img, THEN patch it, THEN flash it..... smh I cant tell you how many times I wiped my device and had to flash the stock recovery until I got this. I hope this helps you guys moving forward and doesn't just cause more confusion but here are all the links to the videos and files I referenced in order that I mentioned them!

(GUIDE:) How to ROOT the TAB S6 - SM-T860 (Wi-Fi Model) - (12/10/21):

Hello all,
BORING INTRO STUFF (Safely Ignore This):
I couldn't find any guide that was current enough to make me feel confident in going through with rooting this tablet. So because of that, I decided I would make on my own guide for those that needed this. I tried multiple guides here and all of them resulted in a boot-loop.
VERY SMALL PSA: I'm apologizing in advance if this guide is both pointless and longer than it needs to be. I figured it would be useful as a future reference in-case anyone needed this.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
* TAB S6 - SM-T860 (Wi-Fi)
* This can be done on Android 9,10 & 11 (Process is the same)
* Your specific firmware downloaded (*DO NOT SKIP THIS*)
* Tablet is charged to at least 50%
* Maximum of 20 minutes to both read & follow the process
* FIRMWARE: The link below is the firmware I used. I would still advise you to both look for your specific version and to use the link provided below only if your tablet is exactly as followed:
* (T860XXU4CUI4) - BUILD NUMBER
* (ANDROID 11) - ANDROID VERSION
* (XAR - CELLUAR SOUTH) - SERVICE PROVIDER SOFTWARE VERSION
( https://samfirms.com/SM-T860/KOR/T860XXU4CUI4 )
* SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS: ( https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver )
* ODIN: ( https://samfirms.com/download-odin ) Latest is 3.14.4. Use that one or the newest one
* TWRP (OPTIONAL): T860 (Wi-Fi) ONLY. DOWNLOAD VERSION "twrp-3.6.0_9-0-gts6lwifi.img.tar" OR THE LATEST ONE AVAIABLE.
( https://dl.twrp.me/gts6lwifi/ )
* MAGISK APP: ( https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager )
* LZ4 TOOL: ( https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases )
* 7-ZIP: ( https://www.7-zip.org/download.html )
HOW TO ROOT:
1. UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER: *** THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA *** (GO TO SETTINGS > ABOUT TABLET > SOFTWARE INFORMATION & TAP BUILD NUMBER 7 TIMES. GO TO DEVELOPER OPTIONS > TOGGLE ON OEM UNLOCKING) TURN OFF THE TABLET. AT YOUR PC, HAVE A CABLE CONNECTED TO THE PC. WHILE HOLDING BOTH VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP, PLUG IN THE CABLE. WHEN THE SCREEN TURNS ON, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP.
WHEN THE SCREEN CHANGES PROMOTING YOU TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, PRESS VOLUME UP. ONCE BOOTED UP, GO THROUGH THE SETUP AGAIN AND MAKE SURE Wi-Fi IS CONNECTED. GO BACK TO SETTINGS, ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS AGAIN AND THEN ENABLE USB - DEBUGGING.
2. EXTRACT THE BOOT.IMG.LZ4 FILE AND MOVE IT TO YOUR TABLET: After 7-Zip is installed, the LZ4 Tool and the firmware you downloaded is extracted somewhere, open the extracted firmware folder. Right-click on the AP file and select 7-zip then open archive. Look for boot.img.lz4, drag it inside of the LZ4 Tool. Once done, drag the boot.img.lz4 on top of the LZ4 executable. It will be extracted as boot.img. Right-click the boot.img file and select 7-zip then add to archive. Change "Archive format" to tar and rename it to boot.tar. Finally, move it to your tablet's storage.
3. DOWNLOAD THE MAGISK APK: Install the Magisk apk that you downloaded and open it up. Within the app, select install, uncheck recovery mode and press next then check "Select and Patch a file". Locate your boot.tar file that you moved into your storage from earlier and wait for Magisk to process it.
4. USING ODIN: Go ahead and locate the new file, it starts with Magisk (NOT THE BOOT.TAR FROM EARLIER SHOULD START WITH MAGISK). Once done, move the Magisk tar file to your computer and turn off the tablet. With the tablet off and Odin open (Run as administrator) , press and hold both VOLUME DOWN & VOLUME UP then plug the cable from your pc into your tablet. With Odin open, go into the "options" tab, uncheck "Auto Reboot" and Select "AP". Locate the Magisk tar file you moved from your tablet and then press "Start".
ONCE IT SAYS "PASS" THEN STOP AND READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING. *IMPORTANT*
PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME DOWN FOR 7 SECONDS. THE SCREEN WILL TURN BLACK. VERY QUICKLY WHILE STILL HOLDING POWER, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP INSTEAD. PRESS POWER TO THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK PROMPT AND YOU SHOULD BE IN RECOVERY. THIS SHOULD BOOT YOU INTO STOCK RECOVERY. USE THE VOLUME KEYS TO NAVIGATE, SELECT "Wipe data/factory reset" then press the power button and select "Factory data reset". Finally, select "Reboot system now" and Wait for the tablet to reboot into the OS.
5. FINISHING UP: After the tablet has restarted back into android and you took a couple of minutes to go through the setup one last time. Scroll up into the app drawer and make sure that you see the app "Magisk", go ahead and select it and press ok to download Magisk. Afterwards, open it up and Magisk will ask you to reboot to finish setting up root. Press ok. Once restarted you are done with the rooting process.
Lastly, as an optional step you can install TWRP.
6. TWRP INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL): With the tablet off and Odin running on your pc, go ahead and press VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP at the same time then plug in the data cable from your PC. Press VOLUME UP to go into download mode. Once in download mode, select "AP" then select the TWRP tar file you downloaded and make sure to uncheck "Auto reboot" from the options tab in Odin. Click start and after it says "PASS" unplug the data cable. On the tablet, press VOLUME DOWN AND POWER to reboot and when you see THE SCREEN TURN BLACK, QUICKLY PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME UP. You should be in TWRP and you are now officially done.
* From now on, I would recommend you use the Magisk app or some reboot app to boot into recovery as it is difficult to use the button combinations to access recovery.
* IF YOU'RE NOT USING MAGISK TO REBOOT TO RECOVERY, I WOULD USE THIS APP INSTEAD: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eypcnnapps.quickreboot&hl=en_US&gl=US
Credits: If all went well then I appreciate you taking the time to read through this guide carefully. Hope it was as clear as possible and that you found it helpful. I will be editing this post from time to time to make it cleaner.
Again, Thank you and if you have any questions, I will answer them when I see them.

THANK YOU SO MUSH IVE BEEN STRUGGLING SO HARD TO GET ROOT ON THIS TABLET FINALLY THANK YOUUUUUU
by the way guys, when it says to reboot to make magisk work.
you are risking a bootloop.

Oh by the way, aside from TWRP being wonky thank you for the guide I had been playing with the idea of rooting this thing for over a year now. You made it easy.
I go through all the steps and it works fine. Once I try for TWRP I end up with
"partition recovery
Reason recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)
CUSTOM recovery
VBMETA T860XXU4DVG6, 54204454R"
From that point it just loops back to that message and downloading mode until I wipe it all and start over again. I TWRP a no go for the S6 now? I guess I can dig around on their site as well. Any input anyone wants to throw my way will also be appreciated.

Hi Sadistic - ,
I need to start with a complement. This is a really clear guide.
But, When I get done with step 3, the Magisk patched boot file has a .img extension
On step 4, Odin is expecting a .tar file extension so the file doesnt show up.
Did I miss something?
Thanks

Yes, step 2 is moving the extracted boot file (re-named to .tar) to my tablet and then patching it with magisk.
