SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S2 (SM-T715) ROOTING METHOD

Hi guys, i'm here to show to everyone interested in, how to achieve root for a Galaxy Tab S2 with SM-T715 model ONLY.

First of all i should tell you some things before we begin. This rooting method is known as "Systemless root" wich means that you will be able to get root, but if you factory reset your device you will lost it and you'll have too make the whole process again if you want to root again. Unfortunately at the moment is the only working root method i've found and testes (thanks to Chainfire). Another important thing is that this root method has been only tested with SM-T715 model (LTE+Wifi version), it should work for other variants too, but i've not tested. Feel free to try.

* One last thing. The method that i'm going to show here is intended for information purpose only. If you want to try it then YOU are the only one responsable for your actions, because you are choosing to do, it not me. . *

So, let's begin. Here's what is needed:

- A backup of your ROM (just in case something goes wrong)

- Our Galaxy Tab S2 (obviously)

- PC

- Smart Switch (to install drivers)

- Odin

- A working brain (seriously)

1. First of all, install Smart Switch in your pc (if you have already installed it, skip this and go to the next step) then follow the installer instruction. It's just that easier. During the installation you will be prompt to plug in your Galaxy Tab S2 to install drivers (USB debugging must be ON). When finished, you'll have installed all the needed drivers and so you're ready to go to the next step. You can download Smart Switch by following this link for Windows :

or this link for MAC :

* As suggested by Ashyx, for those wich doesn't want to use SmartSwitch, you can download the Samsung USB drivers directly from here :

2. Now, you'll have to install the TWRP custom recovery, otherwise you won't be able to flash anything. To do so, first open Odin as administrator and uncheck "auto reboot" option, then load the TWRP recovery tar file into AP (for newer Odin versions) or PDA (for older Odin versions). At this point you have to shut down your Galaxy Tab S2 and then put it into recovery mode by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN. When in Download mode, just plug in your usb cable and press VOL UP, (you can read it on your device display) Odin should recognize your device. If you can see a yellow or cyano "COM" port, then you're ready to press Start, otherwise repeat the step 2. You can download Odin by following this link :

*BE CAREFUL, WHEN ODIN FINISHES THE FLASHING PROCESS, YOU'LL HAVE TO MANUALLY REBOOT INTO RECOVERY BY PRESSING POWER + HOME + VOL UP AFTER SHUTTING DOWN. IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, THE CUSTOM RECOVERY WILL BE REPLACED BY THE STOCK ONE AT THE NEXT REBOOT*

3. Now that you've rebooted into TWRP, reboot your device and if you'll be prompt to install Supersu because you're not rooted click "NO", we'll have to do it manually. Place the SuperSu zip file into your Galaxy Tab S2 storage (internal or external doesn't matter) then reboot again into recovery. At this time choose the "Install" button and after you've located it and then flash it. Reboot system and you're done. You can download SuperSu ( Thanks to Chainfire, all credits to him) by following this link:

Now you're rooted :D
