SM-T700 UK version stock 5.0.2
1. Root using Kingroot 4.5
2. ONLY now !!! install and run Super-Sume
3. Update SuperSu binaries

That's all : you have root, SuperSu and Knox still "O" and Kingroot it's gone...


Would people please post the full build version of the firmware they have success or failure with, so others are aware of which ones work.

Already tried it, v4.5 is posted in my kingroot thread, didn't work on lollipop for t805.
Neither did supersu me, binary always fails to update, once it did manage after several tries, but root is lost after reboot.
Supersu me is just the same script as posted in the kingroot thread. Root always lost after reboot.

Have you maintained root after reboot?
Just following your thread, messing with Kingroot 4.5 (from your tread) I obtained root.
Also someone there suggesting SuperSume to remove Kingroot.
I use it and that's it

Yes the root it's permanent

Can you then install SuperSu or do you need to keep the SuperSume?
Anyone else confirm this method ?

Thanks for the tip. This worked perfectly. I installed Kingroot 4.5. When Kingroot runs scroll down and press "Try it" and it rooted. I then immediately installed Busybox from the Google Play store and ran the smart installer. After a successful install of Busybox, I then installed Super-Sume from the Play store. I ran Super-Sume and it installed Super SU and removed Kingroot. After that, I opened Super SU and allowed it to update the binary. Rebooted. I checked root with Root Checker app and checked Knox with an app called Knox Status on the Play store. Root is still active and Knox is still at "0". I powered off, then restarted again. Root has stayed.

I did this on a brand new US region SM-T700 pulled straight from the box and updated to Lolilipop from OTA.

System Version:
SM-T700
LRX22G.T700XXU1BOE3

Confirmed working on Lollipop NEE-T805XXU1BOE3 firmware.

Reflashed back to complete stock then ran Kingroot v4.5, root succeeded first time.
Ran Supersu me to remove Kingroot and install Supersu then updated the su binary.
Rebooted then checked root status. Full root access still available.

No need to install busybox as Supersu me already installs busy box.

Looks like we have a winner, no need to downgrade to Kitkat any more. :good:
Hopefully now T807/707 users can now get root.

Credits go to the devs of Kingroot, Chainfire and Supersu me.

It does not appear to work on T707a with 5.0.2.

I've told you ...
Do you think this is likely to work for KitKat ANL1? I already downgraded as part of Ashyx's tutorial to ANF7.

My only reservation to going to Lollipop is that I want to use the Xposed framework which I think is still in it's infancy for 5.x or still not compatible.

So before this my options are to keep the original Kitkat by Flashfire - ANL1 or go directly to Lollipop. For the latter I could just get the OTA and do this method now. But not sure if I go to ANL1 kingroot will work as easily

If not I'll continue in the normal way I guess.

Once you have root with Kingroot install Super Sume and run it.
Kingroot 4.5 from ashyxs tread works for me.
Super-Sume just install busybox, SuperSu and get rid of Kingroot.

Why not use Flashfire to install whatever you want: KK or L ?
