[Q] Root for sm-T217A?
- Thread starter bl2128
- Start date
how to get the 4.4.2 update? I am in settings and ask it to look and can not find any updates.
I did the software update and got the update. Who knows when you will get yours.
Follow this =======>
Go To: <Settings> --> <About Device>
Then hit <Build number> 7 Times (X7)
I can also confirm that King Root works on the Samsung SM-T217A Tab ( Straight Talk tab)
Kingo Root does not work, if you try the latest version it asks for your email address to get the latest updates.
I am still looking for a root method for 4.4.2 for SM-217A, device lags without root..
i have not touch my tab in 2 days, this morning, i open it up and it said updated. I look and its got 4.4.2. Looks like i still have root access, i can go to root browser and browse into system\app
thats funny...
hold that.. guess i spoke too soon, su is gone
well, at least i am on 4.4.2, still happy
very strange, i can still goto terminal and do a su, it will let me go to /system folder

Im haveing a problum with line 12. Do i enter it just as it is in the quotes? Typeing in the word over in between too?
Hope I'm not to late for you.
I gave is a shot. Do NOT do it. I figured it would happen with a locked (and updated) bootloader, but I tried anyway thinking a soft brick, but it was a pretty hard brick. Took it to the Samsung guy at best buy, he couldn't flash it. I complete unrooted to update, but then with the whole SD card issue wanted to go back to 4.2.2. Tried ODIN (3 different versions all with the same results) to get 4.2.2 on there and it failed. Without at 4.4.2 download anywhere I couldn't put it back to 4.4.2. Then again, neither could the Samsung rep at best buy. Took it to AT&T store to see if they could fix it, ended up going to warranty to Samsung. Just got it back today (on 4.4.2 unfortunately). On the warranty form they apparently replaced the USB port, not sure why, but anyway, there you go. I'm sure if there as a 4.4.2 download somewhere, I could have odined it back to life but who knows, I'm only guessing, I don't know crap. Oh yeah, when the 4.2.2 failed, it also said "there was an issue with firmware update" and all the stuff up top still said "official", so I guess there was no trace of root or flashing and stuff, hence why they fixed it under warranty. Looked like a bad download/update or whatever and not like tampering.

Built in tethering
I can't find the Samsung built in tethering app anywhere on my 217a the one with buletooth tethering built in. I have several Samsung devices is there a way to transfer the files needed from one of those? Galaxy Mega at&t, S4 Mini Appalachian Wireless, S4 Mini Duos Unlocked and rooted, Galaxy tab 2 7.0 Verizon, The first 3 are on 4.4.2 the last 1 is on 4.1.2 and my 217A is 4.2.2 rooted. Help and detailed instructions needed... Thanks
Thanks Kingo Root worked!!

I can confirm the same on my newly rooted SM-T217A, Kingoapp is awesome
I realize this post is more than likely for an older update for the SM-T217A so I apologize if this has already been addressed and I just missed it, but the 4.4.2 update DOES NOT work with Kingoroot, or CF-Autoroot, or Superroot, or One-Click Root, or any other attempt I've made. No to Framaroot, also Towelroot doesn't work. There's got to be a way to get it to work because all the OTHER versions of this tab have been rooted. Also, it's extremely hard to find a custom recovery for this ATT version, so anyone out there that knows how to compile TWRP, or even CWM recoveries, the little guys back here that still have to use this tab instead of one of the newer, nicer ones would really like a little help if you could find the time. Thanks to anyone out there that can help. I simply want the bloatware off of this thing, and to update the kernel so the battery isn't painfully awful anymore.

Ok so new to android, because i broke screen on my factory unlocked bbZ10. Im very use to the simplicity of the non branded unlocked blackberry. I got my unlocked T217A, because it has the hardware to be a fully functional cell phone. I have read the rom/bootloader issues, but it appears that i may just need to change APN protocol setting from IPv4 to APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6... so could it really be that smiple? And how would one ungray that setting line in APN?

Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX HD1I have been searching to no avail...Is anyone working on rooting the AT&T version of the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0? I have seen the threads about the 211, but I don't know if there are enough differences to cause problems. I have looked here on the forums and elsewhere and it doesn't seem like anybody is working on this variant of the Tab 3. Any help would be appreciated.
