Root your device with Towel Root App

Hey guys I found a new app called towel root that might just root the tab 3. I haven't tested it but I have a feeling that it will work. We need testers to see if it is a go for us.
We should try it on all tab models on these android versions:
1. 4.1.2 Jellybean
2. 4.2.2 Jellybean
3. 4.4.2 kitkat
Now this is actually a really nice root app and our friend tomsgt was able to do a video on it. But he did his review on the samsung S5 phone.
Link to tomsgt video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3JOeQSvxD4
So we need people to test the app and if it is a go we will keep this thread open, and if not we will close this thread.
Instructions to install:
This is just an apk so we just install it as a regular app. Once installed you can open the app and try to root your tablet.
Download from website:
http://towelroot.com/
Just click the picture on the website page to download the apk!
Hope you guys enjoy what I found

Didn't work on Tab 3 8.0 - 4.2.2
Didn't work on a few other devices either, all with pretty old kernels.

Try supersu
Verified after you run towel root install supersu from market update bianaries
Then recovery tools to flash recovery of choice
On a side note 4.4.2

Doesn't work, tried V1 and V2 of towelroot on my Tab3 8.0 (310). Towel Root worked on my S5, was hoping it would work on this, on a Mac on 10.5 and can't root the Tab3 on that.

worked perfectly on my grand 2. thanks.

Does it work on Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T310 Wifi Version?
With 4.2.2 or 4.4.2?

I posted above it doesn't work, tried version 1 and 2 on my T310. Sucks, I have a Mac and can't get it to root, and Win7 won't root in a virtual system and can't boot camp as don't know where my Win7 cd is.

Worked on my tab 3 7.0 Sprint. Running 4.4.2 downloaded supersu from play store and updated binary. It said update failed, reboot and try again but on reboot was working fine. It also asks to disable Knox. Haven't had any issues yet. Installed twrp 7.0 From one of the other tab 3 threads. That's working fine too. Now for Carbon Rom support??? :fingers-crossed:

Doesn't work on GT-P5200 running XXUANB4. "This phone isn't currently supported"

I'm use sm-t311 with 4.2.2 and I rooted it by this app but nothing, sometimes my tablet restart.

sm t111 not supported
sm t111 not supported yet
tried all modstrings but in vain,

I've tried this on my galaxy tab 3 Smt 310 running 4. 4.2 jelly bean it did not work I even did both versions like the other guy said he did no luck I'm sad because I can't root my tablet using a computer can someone help me ASAP the person who gives me a successful solution will get an immediate thumbs up

I think KNOX plays a number on various Samsung Devices...
A number of times I ran TOWELROOT and I was rooted for a short time, but it would then become unrooted...
I then ran TOWELROOT, and installed SuperSU from the play store. When I opened SuperSU it offered to disable KNOX, I said yes...
It stay rooted now, all is good...
Hope this helps.

No doesn't work, had already tried that like a month ago. I think I'm giving up rooting this device, cant believe how hard it is. I've rooted and rom'd every android phone and device no problem. But even in the past the steps I used on Mac through terminal apparently don't work anymore, and can't get it to root on my Mac at all now.

If you have already installed driver correctly, but still "Device not connected" with Kingo. This is the ULTIMATE SOLUTION for you.
Open Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar, and then clicking "Start Task Manager".
You can also open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
Find adb.exe and right click it. Then select "End process tree"
Close Kingo Android Root and then re-launch it.​
after all this plz make a restart to your machine
guys i go for this and yahooooo Got Root

I tried many version of KingoRoot...Only 1 (one) get run on My PC (W7 64Bit) and root failed.... Another Versions "Are not Windows 32 Applications"...

Wow but.. any IMEI sent?

Works on M2 KitKat. Nice job finding this

it doesn't fully get root access.when the device reboot you'll need to do it again
solution is grant root access and install recovery to flash SuperSU etc.

Thanks a lot for sharing this.

Tried this app on already rooted phone, messed up my phone and now after making whole correction by hit n trial I cannot update binary of Supersu app. Although root is working after towelroot and supersu give prompt for allowing and denying root access only not updating binary. Any help would be appreciated except a factory reset suggestion.

after using this you can install recovery by computer then flash the SuperSu zip,it might work
that's why i don't like such this software,i'd rather to flash over 4.4 than using this

What i found about this rooting method and how to fix it by change the kinguser to superuser. Just wanna share to you guys.
Iroot and Kingroot are arguably two of the most popular rooting applications because of their efficiency and ability to root most android devices with just a single click.
But the only problem with this apps is that instead of the traditional SuperSU most android users are used to, kinguser is installed instead. Many people are always looking for ways to replace the kinguser with SuperSU because kinguser doesn't grant proper root permission to some apps like cleanmaster, lucky patcher e.t.c
I will be sharing with you guyzz two different methods to replace kinguser with SuperSU.

Hey, just want to say that I advise everyone not to use King Root V. 4.6.0 it is not possible to uninstall. Use King Root V 4.5.2

this is not true.

Ok mate, here is what I did, I followed every steps of instructions(and succesfully rooted my phone), and I uninstalled both, Super SUME and King Root via Titanium Backup. Root retain. Doesn't seems to be affected by all I did. Maybe you can try it.

Supersume automatically deleted kingroot app. No need to remove it with titanium backup.

It's works for me (XperiaZ-C6603-5.1.1) but the Kingroot app can't deleted. I tried many times but it same. Could you tell me another way to remove Kingoroot?
