I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S ATT LTE, I just give up my iPad for the this device.

I'am trying to use the device for tethering, and I believe I need root access to do it with all the hassle, so is there a root for this device.

Also it seems when I try to use OPENvpn on the device it tends to drop the connection, and this has been a issue for me, for all Android devices I have, is there something I have to do to the APN in order to get this to work right.

Please let me know thanks.

I belive att devices have locked bootloaders prevent root access. I have not seen any root guides for the tab s att variants as it not supported by cf auto root yet.
So is it best that i just return the Tablet to the ATT Store because there wont be a root for it?

OR

IS there a chance that there would be a root out for this device.

Heres the thread for the root for the 8.4 wifi and only lte st705. The att model is t705A i think. So theres no root for att. I have not see any developnent for att rooting of the tab s so it may be a while for root on this device. The only way to get root is by I guess finding a 705 lte model or a wifi model. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2805366 thats the thread for the 705 and wifi version of the root so theres no att root. If you want you can try to get a different tab like the tab note or the tab pros. I suggest you checking any other lte tabs that have root for your carrier/model if you want to get another tab.
