Run Odin.exe, choose PDA and point it to recovery.md5 file.
Connect tab via usb to your computer while in downloading mode then hit start in Odin on computer after connection has been established. Run, wait then reboot.
Connect tab to computer in usb storage mode (make sure usb debugging is off in tab settings) copy root exploit (Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip) to root of the storage.
Turn off tab. Reboot into bootloader again but this time go to recovery. Select to install zip from SDcard. Install the root.zip.

Unrooting suceeded with no errors and I now how Superuser app, which seems to allow superuser rights. However, Root Check indicates I do not have root access. Any attempt to install BusyBox fails with BusyBox Installer app telling me I don't have root access.
Where is my mistake and what method will successfully root my device?

Give more info. Which device do you have. Also, did you try a soft reset?
It's a GT-P7510 and no soft reset. The unroot was pretty straightforward, Installed CWM, uploaded and ran zip file and rebooted. No, errors and Tab works fine, just no root access. Of course, the ROM is stock.

Here's the situation:
I have a Lenovo A8-50F table. After attempting to flash a new TWRP recovery rom on it after unlocking the bootloader, I ended up with a tablet that would constantly reboot. I am attempting to fix this issue with the SP Flash Tool but I have two issues:
I don't know if the MT file is the right file for this.
You are supposed to see a red bar pass when you hit download indicating it has finished the upload and it never comes.
I have done the volume up + voume down + down and all the other combinations and at most what it produces is a 2005 error.
I have the a58p rom in zip file that I downloaded from here.
I'd like to have some help, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be searching for.

Hi, I know to recovery you Lenovo A8-50F. It's yet actually?
Thanks.
I used KingRoot (ver 4.8.2) to root my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet.
I used KingRoot as part of a SuperTool. The SuperTool, using a batchfile script, also removed KingRoot after the tablet was rooted and then installed SuperSU.
The SuperTool (April 6, 2016 version) was created by xda's RootJunky for the Amazon Fire 7 5th gen tablet, using KingRoot and SuperSU, but it rooted my Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet, uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSU, all with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Even if you are already rooted with KingRoot, you can use this tool to uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU. (Just run the tool, let it re-install KingRoot, don't run KingRoot but hit Enter on the SuperTool to then uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU).
Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet info:
Model Number: Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F
Android version: 5.1
Kernel version: 3.10.65
Build number: A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW
Software version: A8-50F_151023
Hardware version; LenovoPad A8-50F
The SuperTool batch file script rooted the tablet with KingRoot and then uninstalled KingRoot and installed SuperSu.
I have since installed ES File Manager, Titanium Backup, Link2sd on the tablet. Root is totally working. Rooted with only a couple of clicks!
Just enable Developer options on Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F (by tapping tablet Build Number 7 to 10 times [Settings, About Tablet, Build Number (tap 7 to 10 times)]), enable USB debugging on Tablet in the Developer options settings.
Connect Tablet to Windows 10 with a USB data cable (I used the USB 2.0 port). When screen message on the Tablet mentions connections, make sure it is in the MTP mode.
Extract RootJunky's SuperTool Zip file to the Windows 10 desktop.
Run RootJunky's SuperTool (Amazon-Fire-5th-gen.bat) You may have to read the instructions on the pages below and install adb drivers. Pick option #6 Root. Choose Option #3: version 5.1.2. This will run a script that installs KingRoot, allows you to run it manually, and then removes KingRoot and installs SuperSU.
Press enter and KingRoot will be installed on the Tablet from the SuperTool. (approve any messages that appear on Tablet screen) Now don't touch the PC SuperTool until the Tablet is rooted.
Open KingRoot on the Tablet and run it. You may have to run KingRoot several times and the Tablet may reboot. Just keep running KingRoot until the Tablet is rooted. After KingRoot reaches 100%, then press ENTER on the PC.
The SuperTool will now uninstall KingRoot and install SuperSU on the Tablet.
Choose NORMAL SuperSU install on the Tablet when prompted. When SuperSU is installed, reboot the Tablet. Disconnect data cable.
After reboot the Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F Tablet is rooted. There will be a request by SuperSU to upgrade. Approve it. You can now install Titanium Backup, Link2sd, ES File Manager, etc. Your Tablet is rooted. As easy as that. THANKS ROOTJUNKY!!!

I remember on my old Verizon Note 2 I could just download busybox drivers and stuff and then hook it in the PC and just run ghetto root and it rooted it automatically with no hassle, and now I'm seeing bootloading and ODIN stuff and I'm pretty much a noob at this stuff, so is there an easier method that roots automatically or I don't have to do much?
Sorry :l
Easiest method I know of would be to flash TWRP via Odin and then flash supersu from TWRP.
yes...
1. Download TWRP for Note 3(your model) from twrp.me
2. Download supersu for Note 3 and copy to Phone/SD card. (both TWRP and Supersu have XDA threads as well)
3. Download and install Samsung drivers in PC.
4. Download and open ODIN in PC.
5. Follow "Odin Flash" instructions (connect Phone and get into Download mode using key combo) from TWRP download page and install via ODIN.
6. After installing, Power Off phone and get into Recovery (by key combo) and flash Supersu.
7. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.
8. Power up.
It looks big but just a 10 mins work
Why Flash twrp? If only root needed. Wouldn't it be easier just to flash supersu in odin?
Odin doesn't work for all models and ROMs of the Note 3.
https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin
This is for the verizon Note Edge.
I can't post in our forum but I had problems getting root. Kingo root works but I had to wipe my phone to root it before and after getting developer mode.
These are the steps I used:
Wipe data in stock recovery (Vol Up, Home, Power button).
Remove SIM card.
Restart phone.
Setup phone over WiFi.
Run Kingo Root.
Achieve Developer mode.
Repeat steps 1-5.
Flash the TWRP 3.0 file by mickey387 (I think was his name) and install supersu to gain permanent root.
I couldn't get my phone to show up in Odin and adb/fastboot would restart the phone in recovery but never loaded twrp after numerous tries at both. I had taken the 03/01/2016 Android Security Patch which I'm sure is probably why kingroot wouldn't work. I'm not sure why Odin and adb/fast wouldn't load twrp until after I was rooted again in Developer mode by the Kingo root app even though the kingo root app uses adb too.
Hello all,
This may seem like a stupid question, but I want to make sure that I know what i'm doing before I mess something up and become
So I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900V ovbiously), and it has the tobisha emmc chip
Is the only way to gain root on Marshmallow/Nougat or whatever is by reverting to Lollipop, gaining root access, installing TWRP, and then flashing LineageOS/some ROM?
Directions For Users With CID 11 Toshiba eMMC
1. Download EMMC_11_ Root S5_QB2_PB1.zip
2. Unzip
Copy the following to your External SD card:
Root S5 Folder,
EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip, EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip,
and the TouchWiz ROM you want to install.
3. Reboot Phone to Download Mode (Pwr +Vol Dwn+Home)
4. Use Odin 3.12 and load the COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_257265 6_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in the AP Slot
5. Flash and let the phone reboot. It will reboot to recovery and finish install then it will reboot and take about 20 seconds to boot.
6. If you do not have an External SD Card, copy the following NOW to your Internal Storage:
Root S5 Folder,
EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip, EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip,
and whatever TouchWiz ROM you want to install.
7. Use the File Manager in the app drawer of the phone and install Apex_Lancher.apk press home button and set Apex as the default launcher.
Install Superuser.apk, Busybox.apk and SafeStrapKK.apk do not open anything yet.
8. Now Install tr_v2.apk.
Open TowelRoot and CLICK MAKE IT RAIN . It should tell you you have succeeded.
9. Now Open Superuser app and click "New User" to install it.
Once done, open SuperSU and update the SU binaries using the "NORMAL" method. It will tell you you need to reboot. You can skip doing this. (If the Superuser install hangs for more than 5 minutes reboot phone and try to install it again.)
10. Now open the BusyBox app, grant SuperSU access and install BusyBox.
11. Now open SafeStrap, grant SuperSu access and click "install recovery". If the SafeStrap recovery fails to install, make sure BusyBox is installed by rerunning the BusyBox app (it will tell you if BusyBox is installed) if not click "install" again, reboot phone and open SafeStrap and try to install recovery again
12. Once SafeStrap Recovery is installed click "reboot to SafeStrap Recovery".
13. Once in SafeStrap Recovery, choose what firmware you want to be on:
Lollipop 5.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip
Marsmhallow 6.0 Firmware=EMMC_11_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip
14. Install the firmware zip, and then flash a TouchWiz Lollipop ROM. (Here is the latest stock rooted Lollipop Rom: VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip). You may want to download a copy of the latest SuperSu zip, and flash if installing a Lollipop ROM that is not rooted. Remember, you cannot root Marshmallow ROMs, so do not try and flash the SuperSu zip on a Marshmallow Rom (you will softbrick if you do).
15. After you install any Lollipop ROM, you may need to reinstall SafeStrap Recovery. Most of the time you don't have to and SafeStrap can be reached by flashing the KitKat Kernel in Download Mode with ODIN. But, in some cases, when flashing a ROM that flashes a system.img instead of a system folder, you may lose SafeStrap during install. This will be the case if you install the above ROM. You can reinstall it after the ROM is booted up. A Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk is included that will flash a version of SafeStrap that will allow you to reboot to SafeStrap Recovery without flashing a KitKat kernel in Odin. Install BusyBox again from the BusyBox App in the RootS5 Folder. Install Safestrap-G900V-4.04_LL_MM.apk and make sure to grant SuperSU access. It may take a few seconds to prompt. If SafeStrap is not installed, click "Install Recovery". If Safestrap is still installed click on "Uninstall Recovery", close the app, and reopen it. It should say recovery is not installed. Now click on "Install Recovery". If this doesn't work, reboot the phone and try again. Once installed, you can just click reboot to SafeStrap from the SafeStrap app and you will reboot straight to SafeStrap. Remember to flash the appropriate Kernel when leaving SafeStrap!
Download and place these on your device:
LL_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip, and
MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip
If something bad goes wrong you can usually get back to SafeStrap by simply rebooting the phone to Download Mode and flashing NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5. When the phone reboots, watch for the SafeStrap splash screen and enter SafeStrap.
16. Do NOT change ANY boot options in SafeStrap. ROM slots cannot be used, so you must flash to the Stock ROM slot EVERY TIME OR YOU WILL SOFTBRICK. Some functions don't work in SafeStrap, like choosing an image file to flash directly. All image files must be flashed via zip file.
