Rooting a Samsung Tab S

Question

I have a Samsung Tab S 8.4" with Android 5.0.2, Build # LRX22G.T700XXU1BOE3.

I want to root it, but, knowing it's a delicate process, I don't want to mess it up.

I looked around first, and found things that may work, but I don't feel comfortable making the risk of bricking my tablet.

So, I came here.

I have Ubuntu and Windows 10 avaliable to use, and want to know:

• How can I root my device?
• Is there any way to totally back it up so I can use abd or something to restore it if I brick tt?

Answer 1

There a ton of resources to do this online. You could stop by xda-developers for rooting needs. This is

You can do backups before rooting:

1. On the computer via ADB.

2. 4 app options:

   • Holo Backup
   • Helium
   • G Cloud Backup
   • Super Backip
