Your best bet is trying to see if Chainfire can look into it. He is the go to guy for rooting many newer Samsung devices. Post here for requests:

What's the processor on these? All I can find is that it's a quad core 1.2GHz. No idea if it's a Snapdragon 400, or if it's an Exynos. Exynos-based devices, it is my understanding, are more difficult to root, if not sometimes impossible.
I'm semi-interested in this device, as a sort of "toss around" tablet. Something inexpensive that I can throw in my backpack, while keeping my nicer, more expensive LG 8.3 at home. The small footprint and light weight is what intrigues me the most.

The idea will be the same, but you'll need a different kernel with the root enabled. If you want it, you have to request it from the thread linked earlier.
I want root as well this tablet has decent specs just horrid internal space so I'm trying to swap it with the SD card for apps
Someone posted the recovery.img in the cf forum so now we wait

Download, install http://d-h.st/FiU#.U4fAsHVdUUT on pc
Enable USB Debugging in developer options (Tap build number til it tells you you are a "dev" to enable dev options)
connect tab to pc
run vroot
click green button bottom right
wait til its done
Download this http://www.mediafire.com/download/ky9845gisnn3824/Replace_VRoot_With_SuperSU.zip
extract the zip
put the mrw folder thats extarcted onto your internal storage
download Android Terminal Emulator from playstore and open it
type:
su (then grant it su permission")
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
and wait til it reboots. Go into settings>applications> and uninstall the app in Chinese, then open the playstore search SuperSU and update it and then open SuperSU so it updates the binary (click normal) and youre done. Vroot is gone and replaced with our beloved @Chainfire 's superSU and binary3I finally got mine to work, here is how I fixed it from updating to 1.7.8
Run a search on your C drive for vroot and delete everything it finds(except the 1.7.7 installer), this will delete the 1.7.8 updater file.
Then disconnect your computer from the internet completely.
Install the 1.7.7 file you downloaded
Once 1.7.7 is running you can reconnect the internet just remember if you close Vroot to make sure you are not on the internet when you open it again.
Then follow the instructions given.
If you run into the same issues I did with SuperSU then it may take a few times of rooting to finally get it to update the binary.3
Yes, there is already a way to root the Tab 4 7.0.
I followed these instructions step by step and worked perfectly. It does require a USB connection, windows PC and to reboot the Tab a couple of times. Took me 10 minutes. quick and simple and thank you ShinySide for the step by step.
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53020637&postcount=873does V-Root trigger your flash counter or "triangle"? does anyone get the yellow sign on their boot screen after using?
Just making sure before running it on my brand new tab, id like to mantain warranty for now
Shouldnt. Only using Odin is the only thing that usually trips it
BTW I finally made a thread since the instructions are now broken up since people have to kill the auto updating
http://xdaforums.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t28352643Ive factory resetted and not going to use it. I can not get it to switch to SuperSU and SuperSu's binary (tried to let SuperSU install/update the binary and it wont. just sits their spinning). From everything Ive tried seems to be locking me into using the vroot su and binary and whatever the hell it is its installing on data/app. Ive swapped out binaries and superuser apks, but as soon as I uninstall and their stuff, I lose root access. So looks like they are locking you into using their stuff without the possibility of switching to su of your choice afterwards.....Could be wrong tho...And only reason I can think of being forced to use their stuff....aint good haha Could be wrong but until someone finds a way I can swap in ChainFires SuperSU files and not lose root, I aint using it. Really just comes down to credibility factor for me.
