Rooting Samsung SM-T707A

[kgiesselman]

I have been all over the forum looking for guidance on how to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE. I understand that the wizards at AT&T have locked the boot loader and that this is not an easy one. I have tried KingRoot, Kingo, and a few other less well-recommended root programs. Despite all these programs stating that they can work, none of them do. Did anyone find a program to root this old AT&T beast?

You have to first downgrade to 5.01, then kingroot will work. There is also a thread on tab s forum about replacing kingroot with su. It's pretty easy to do, it just takes a little time.
