[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nostreborderaj:
Just got my hands on a P607T on 5.1.1 today. My coworker was getting an iPad and wanted to trade the Note in for like $37 in store credit! Can you believe that? I managed to score a great little companion tab for my Note 4 for next to nothing!

Anyway, I hopped on XDA and was a little overwhelmed by the various models of this tablet, and unfortunately found little mention of the T-Mobile variety. After reading through several posts (and being pretty familiar with rooting other Samsung devices) I figured I'd give something a go, hoping that if I mucked the tablet up I could just ODIN the stock firmware.

After doing what I listed below, I appear to be rooted (according to Titanium Backup), and root sticks after a reboot. However, TWRP does not stick. This isn't a problem for me, as I'm content with the stock rom, but it begs the question as to whether I could've just ODIN'ed CF Auto Root and been done with it. If that's the case you can skip everything I did further down and just:

1. Download latest CF AutoRoot from here (https://download.chainfire.eu/551/C...F-Auto-Root-lt03ltetmo-lt03ltetmo-smp607t.zip) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.

2. Reboot your tablet into Download Mode. I was able to do this by restarting the tablet and holding the Home button and Volume Down button as it rebooted. Press Volume Up when prompted and the tablet should show the green android along with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"

3. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the CF Auto Root download. Inside this folder, you will see the ODIN application. Run it as Administrator.

4. From this ODIN window, click "AP" and select the CF-Auto-Root file that is in the same folder you just ran ODIN from.

5. Connect your tablet which is in Download Mode to your PC. When you see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]", click Start.

5. Let it do its thing. You should see the magic happening on your tablet as CF Auto Root is installed, and then the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted.

However, this isn't exactly how I did it, so I'm listing all of my steps here and you may proceed as you see fit:

1. Download latest ODIN from here (http://odindownload.com/download/) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.

2. Download latest TWRP here (https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote1012014qcom.html) to your PC.

3. Download latest CF AutoRoot from here (https://download.chainfire.eu/551/C...F-Auto-Root-lt03ltetmo-lt03ltetmo-smp607t.zip) to your PC and extract the contents of the zip file.

4. Reboot your tablet into Download Mode. I was able to do this by restarting the tablet and holding the Home button and Volume Down button as it rebooted. Press Volume Up when prompted and the tablet should show the green android along with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"

5. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the latest ODIN download and run the application as Administrator. Click the "AP" button and select the TWRP file you downloaded.

6. While your tablet is in Download Mode, connect it via USB to your PC and you should see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]"

7. Before you click Start in ODIN, be ready to immediately hold down Home and Volume Up on the tablet. Click Start in ODIN and immediately hold down the Home+Volume Up key combo on the tablet for 10 seconds. If done correctly, the tablet will reboot into TWRP after about 30 seconds. (Note: I read this in another thread, and it's intended to keep the tablet from overwriting a custom recovery with the stock recovery when rebooting. Again, this ended up not working for me, as TWRP did not stick after reboot, but I did it as part of this process to get root, which seems successful, so I'm including it here.)

8. Reboot the tablet to System from TWRP. Reboot back into Download Mode. If you haven't already, disconnect the tablet from your PC.

9. On your PC, open the folder you extracted from the CF Auto Root download. Inside this folder, you will see another ODIN application. Run it as Administrator.

10. From this ODIN window, click "AP" and select the CF-Auto-Root file that is in the same folder you just ran ODIN from.

11. Connect your tablet which is in Download Mode to your PC. When you see the window under ID:COM in ODIN turn blue and show something like "0:[COM3]", click Start.

12. Let it do its thing. You should see the magic happening on your tablet as CF Auto Root is installed, and then the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted.

Again, your experience may vary with this. I took a gamble and gave this a shot and I appear to have root according to Titanium Backup, which has been a pretty reliable indicator in the past. I may run into problems down the line. If so, I'll update.
