Looking for Testers with the T817 model to test new root hack.(tested and working)

[ashyx]

Is there any chance a root for the ATT version is in the works? SM-T817A? I just picked one up and Im a little bitter I cant root it. I must have misread what was currently rootable.

Kingroot and KingOroot are your best options.

The kingroot apk seems to give me almost like a sandboxed root environment but its temporary and I lose when it reboots. Anything I can do?

Did you make a backup with TWRP before flashing?
This method is a little outdated now.
You can use your own boot image now.
Restore your unrooted rom or unroot with superuser first then restore the stock boot.img with twrp.
Now flash this for root.

Thanks for all work on this device tree @ashyx !

Just to confirm I read this correctly, the T817T can be rooted using SuperSU 2.65 with it's own stock boot.IMG (not the modded offering in your original post?

Correct.

Correct.

Is the t817v Verizon rootable?

No, no and no again. Unless Kingroot or kingOroot works.

Correct.

Confirmed root on T817T using SuperSU 2.65 ...again, tyvm @ashyx ! 5MT901758V915582G

TWRP installed. Flashed SU 2.65. Root checker says its not rooted. When I flash, none of my partitions mount. Even though I decline to mount the system in -ro. Anyone else having this issue?

I had this issue too. Are you using TWRP 3.0.0? I couldn't get system, cache, etc to mount so when I tried to flash SU 2.65, it would say fail to mount and when I checked root, it said no SU binaries installed.

I solved the problem by flashing TWRP 2.8.7.1 via Odin and then flashing boot.img and then SU 2.65 right after and it magically worked on my T817T.

Here is the link to TWRP 2.8.7.1. Use twrp_2.8.7.1_LL_5.1.1_t810 for Lollipop 5.1.1.

That issue is fixed in TWRP 3.0.0-1

Well I rooted my tablet, the only thing is the boot has the seandroid enforcing warning which I read is normal but if I wanted to go back to stock withour root later on what is the process I have to use and would it take away the red seandroid boot warnings? Thanks
