T-Mobile doesn't care if Knox is tripped or not. So however you root you are fine.
[Q] root on p607t?
- Thread starter riffy504
- Start date
I'm not so much worried about T-Mobile as I am for selling it to someone else. I generally sell my old phone right before I get the new one to help with the down payment so I am not paying a hefty payment every month. Some people out there would like to use the phone for all it's features, including but not limited to the Knox apps, which disable themselves if you trip the Knox. However, I do appreciate that bit of info.
Quick question - are you running 4.4.2? I am planning on getting the T-Mobile Note 10.1 (P607) and want to make sure it is rootable with KNOX = 0

Same here. I had an issue one time where I sold my old Note 8.0 that was rooted and had specifically put in the ad that it was rooted AND KNOX tripped. Buyer then complained he can't upgrade and brought it to Samsung, who basically said "Tablet has been modified, no warranty".I'm not so much worried about T-Mobile as I am for selling it to someone else.

To the best of my knowledge it comes with 4.4.2 already on it, but to answer your question I am indeed running 4.4.2 rooted with Knox at 0x0
People like that can be a real pain sometimes, and that is why I'm so adamant about keeping the Knox at 0x0 so if I do sell it I can just unroot.
I have rooted my gf Tmobile p607t with Towelroot..it did NOT trip Knox... still at 0×0

I picked up a 607t last week. It came loaded with 4.4.2 NE2. A few hours after bringing it home, I had run TowelRoot, Odined TWRP, installed xKat 5.0 w/ SE permissive kernel which I was able to tweak a bit, then flashed the Flat UI theme and a few other mods. Very happy with the new Note! Killer upgrade and no less modifiable than my Note 8

I wonder if TowelRoot will work with the newly announced 4.4.4 upgrade.
Wondering the same thing!! Anyone tried that has updated? Or can someone root 4.4.4 and turn it into a flashable zip? Any takers?
Looks like 4.4.4 for P605 / 607 is NOT root-able. At least not yet.
Oh well, guess I won't be buying the T-Mobile P607. Damn you Samsung!!
It's rootable- you just have to get over the fear of tripping your Knox (which I did that the day I brought it home and have never regretted).
It maybe acceptable for you that KNOX is tripped, but not for me or some other. Otherwise, people will use CF-Autoroot even when TowellRoot is out.
For me, the primary reason I do NOT want KNOX: warranty and when selling the tablet.
I had once tried to sell one with KNOX tripped. I put in the item description that it was rooted and KNOX tripped. Somebody bought it and complained that he couldn't upgrade. He brought it to Samsung, which promptly denied warranty. He filed a claim with Amazon (where I sold the phone). After a long battle, Amazon sided with me. He then FILED a chargeback on his credit card, which I promptly fought again because I did state the condition of the phone. But it was a freakin 4 months of back and forth.
So if you don't sell your tablet, that's fine. I rather recoup some of the money when I upgrade.
OK so I rooted it and spen does not work as stated. Anyway to go back and get it working?
just fyi, I rooted with Towel Root and Spen works. I am still on 4.4.2
I think you can Odin the original firmware to revert back. It should NOT trip KNOX since it'll be Samsung own firmware. You will lose all data though, so make backups.
I have 4.4.2 (P607TUVUANE2). Samsung original firmwares are available from SamMobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P607T/TMB/
Note: I have NOT tried Odin-ing on the Note 10.1 2014, so I don't know if there is any side effects by doing so. I think you should create a new thread in the Q&A and ask if anyone have done it for the T-Mobile version.

Thanks my issue is solved spen working!
btw I have flashed a couple of roms for 605 all worked flawlessly.
Hey guys just wondering what recovery you guys are using. I am new to this Odin thing (used galaxy nexus toolkits before with my only samsung phone)
I have rooted via towelroot, and all it well. Just wondering what recovery to flash, and how. I see a TWERP recovery, but I just want to make sure I get the compatible one for the 607T
Thanks!
