EDIT: After rooting with kingroot, I used the app from the Google play store called "SuperSu Me" This app removes king root and installs supersu while keeping root... it took less than a minute to do.

I tried this on two tablets and it failed. Is there specific procedure?

Not sure which version of kingroot you're using, but o.p. specified to use version 4.1.
I downloaded king root v4.1... and ran it... no tricks.
Here is a link that I found to the app for kingroot for you:

Do this first : flash with odin 3.09.3 the original firmware 4.1
: select "AP" choose the at&t firmware it comes with 4.1 android version
then update to kit kat , rename the file on internet called xxxx.cfg to xxxxxx.zip
put this file in your micro sd card, reboot on recovery stock and flash the update , and get 4.4.2 android kk, then , download the apk 4.1 , do not connect the tablet online to the website of king root , this method does not work, it is with the apk 4.1 version of kingroot and done!
Importante : tablet on mode developer option and usb debugging check

None of the king root versions I found work. Gets to 24% then reboots.
No luck yet. Will keep waiting.

That was my experience as well. Not sure if this is viable based on my experience.
It's definitely a feasible process, it worked fine for me. I'm really confused why it works for some people but not for others...

For those still trying to gain root access using Kingroot... here is a link to a few different versions of "kingroot", a version of "kinguser" (their version of supersu), and a version of "purify" (their version of a memory manager). If it didn't work easily, it may still work with a bit more trial and error, as it did for me (after losing root yesterday).

Yesterday morning, i woke up to find that I had somehow lost root on my tablet... I tried to re-root using the previous process, and it no longer seemed to work. Soooo, I spent a good chunk of time figuring out how to get root back yesterday. The good news is, I got root back... the process however, was somewhat convoluted.
So I tried to find a step by step reproduce-able way to get root every time - and I was not successful at coming up with an exact process that works every time... I was however able to get rooted every time, but the process seemed to vary a bit each time... so trial and error seems to be the key here. I experimented for hours doing this... gaining root, uninstalling root, and retrying - all in the name of trying to help others figure out how to do it on their device.
So here is the basics of how I achieved root... DISCLAIMER - I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU, YOUR ACTIONS, OR THE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR DEVICE - BEFORE/DURING/OR AFTER YOU TRYING ANY OF THESE PROCESSES THAT I TRIED. THINGS CAN GO WRONG - YOU CAN END UP WITH PROBLEMS - A BRICKED TABLET, A DIVORCE, A DEAD DOG, OR HIT BY A NUCLEAR BLAST. ANY OF WHICH, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IF YOU PUSH THE BUTTONS, ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Since there is no factory image for 4.4.2 on our device, proceed with caution... if something goes really wrong, you will have a paperweight. There is no Kies or Odin to save you... Also, my knox warranty void count shows as 1 and custom device status, so if you are worried about that be aware...
1) download all the files in the folder at the link above, extract them from the folder and put all the apk's on your device, but dont install them yet (doesn't matter internal/external memory)
2) Boot into stock recovery and wipe cache. reboot.
3) Install kingroot v4.0.1.237
4) open kingroot and try the rooting process. the device will likely reboot at around 18 to 25% or so... once the device reboots, open kingroot again and let it finish the rooting process. If it works - you should go buy lottery tickets, because you just got really lucky! If it doesn't work, proceed to the next step.
5) Install Purify. Run Purify process. Take notice after running the process - at the top of the app does it say root is achieved?? If not, return to step 4 and try rooting again. If that does not work...
6) Install kinguser. open kinguser, does it say you have root access? If not, try the prompt to repair root access (if it shows up)... if not, return to step 4, and try to root again. If no root, try step 5 again. If not, try step 6 again...
7) If still no root access, uninstall kingroot, and install one of the other versions of kingroot... try all of the above again. If still no root... uninstall all 3 apps and start over at step 2 using a different version of kingroot to start with.
I wish I could say there was a logical rhyme or reason for what works and what doesn't... but there didn't appear to be an exact process that works every time. Fortunately, I was able to get root if I tried long enough and tried different combinations of processes. Periodically clearing the cache from the stock recovery really seemed to help increase my odds of success when things weren't going well.
Occassionally the process landed me in a bootloop at the at&t screen... after holding the power button for an eternity, the device would power off - then I would reboot and it would boot normally.
Additionally, I tried on many occasions to swap "kinguser" with "supersu" using an app call "Super-Sume". Sometimes the process worked, and successfully removed kingroot, kinguser, and purify - while keeping root and installing Supersu... Other times the process removed the kinguser, kingroot, and purify - but I also lost root. I tried both the paid and free versions of Super-Sume, but the free version is the one that seemed to work best.
It's up to you if you want to go through all of this - it was tiresome... but if you really want root, maybe trying something like this might help you - maybe not. I also noticed that kinguser seems to sometimes have root access, sometimes not... so sometimes it was just a matter of opening one of the 3 apps and re-running a process or two and root would be restored... not sure why that happens - which is why i opted to use super-sume to remove kingroot once root was achieved. but we will see if i keep root now... if not, at least I know the process above seemed to work for me.

Thanks Dandroid, I will try your suggestions. I got this tablet 2 months ago, rooted it right away with Kingroot, worked great. But was suspicious of the app, so used supersume to remove. Had root for a few more days then lost it. My first thought was the Samsung Security updates patched the root. So I download Kingroot and run it again and it doesnt work anymore. Why is root not working? Either the Samsung security updates closed the loophole or somehow Kingroot punishes you for removing their app. I believe Kingroot puts you on a blacklist because they have your IP address and IMEI. These are just my suspicions. So Dandroid do you still have root after all this time?
Yes, I still have root.
I recently read in a forum for a different device that king root is actually a temporary root??? I have not seen that said anywhere else, just in that forum, so not sure if that was device specific?? But that does seem to explain why we lost root...
Since I used super-sume to remove king root and retain root, that may be why I still have root. As soon as I installed supersu, I also checked the survival mode box on supersu to try and keep root.

It's supposed to reboot... after it reboots, reopen the KingRoot app and let it finish the process. The English version of the app clearly says that it will need to reboot and then finish the rooting process.
I used the computer version. Worked prefect. Then unistalled with superseme

I appreciate everybody's input on this. It seems that some of us have been successful. I however have not.
Is there any way to get a system image from one of you folks that are already rooted, so the rest of us can load in our tablets? I don't know if this is a stupid question I'm not that well versed in loading via Odin.

Not sure why, but I love this having root on Note8 now.
