Yes press volume down, home button and the power button wait for the phone to reboot and quickly switch to the power up button to get into recovery mode and then wipe data

Yes you can, get the firmware you need and use the moded Odin that you downloaded to flash eng boot. It won't work with official Odin as far as I know.

Should work. I just used the modded odin to restore G930TUVS3APD8, as i was having severe issues with the rooting process. resetting up my phone now..
I can confirm FRP-Unlock isn't needed. I rooted with no frp-unlock, I just had to factory reset my phone when it got stuck on the tmobile splash.
Good to know
Can someone confirm the following?
1- does SamsungPay Still work after root?
2- Does Android Pay still work?
3- does rooting with this method trip Knox?
4- does installing Adaway break either Android or SamsungPay, or trigger Knox?

Samsung Pay and Android Pay will not work when rooted, and this method does not trip knox.
I can confirm this also works on the July security patch, PG1 firmware.

Then please add on the OP that dis method wil trip knox trigger. Sum newbies might try this method on their new fones, without knowing.
So basically this method is for those people who dont care bout the warranty or those who hv completed their warranty.

The TM-320s are at the following. You need to filter by country. The standard U.S. firmware is under "Cellular South (XAR)":
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T320/
Do note that Lollipop just started rolling out to the Tab S series. Hopefully that's a sign that the Tab Pro Lollipop isn't much farther off.
I'm not able to download any firmware from the SamMobile site. Can anyone provide me with a firmware? I don't care about the region or anything since I'll be flashing CM right after that (my device is soft-bricked, and I need to flash stock firmware with Odin). If someone can either mirror a firmware or share it with me, I'd greatly appreciate it
Would flashing this firmware remove the KNOX triggered flag.
I.e. if I flash it, can I return it to the shop and Samsung for repair?
EDIT: Yes, it removes KNOX
I have problems during the boot of the tablet
I've followed all the steps but when i've finally used odin, my tablet doesn't power on, it stays at samsung, st 320 or something like that and I can't go further. Also it only shows all that stuff when it is pluged in the pc.
I really don't know what to do, so could anybody help me please???

I don't think that's possible unless you have a pre-rooted or custom rom that you are flashing thru Odin. If you flash the newest firmware it will wipe out your root and custom recovery and you start all over.

Correct.
Make sure you put SuperSU on SD card.
Boot phone to download mode.
In Odin uncheck reboot, after the flash is successful unplug phone and pull battery, then put battery back in and boot directly into recovery before boot the phone normally otherwise the recovery may not stick.

I wanted to know you you could wip up a quick tutorial or steps for us . I can tell its really simple and easy. but once we unzip the firmware wont it then lose the md5 has and signature. of are the 5 files inside also signed.

Since they are all official and signed files I would assume that this would not trip knox. But I can not verify for sure. Also I thought knox checks to see if the boot loader is unlocked.
I have another question. with an unlocked boot loader don't we still have the problem of dm-verity being enabled that would stop use form flashing mods and roms.

Not to get off topic but what's the big deal about the u firmware is it Universal or is it unbranded with a lot less bloat. Or additional features?

Probably stuck, but you should still be able go between the latest U and V firmwares. I am giving up on a non engboot root method. Sammy signed that kernel so it should always flash and permit root. But, that's not a well educated guess...

You can't. The only reason we can is because we have a leaked engineering kernel that allows root. Sadly Verizon killed root on the S6 about a year ago.

If you're stuck on the boot logo, you HAVE TO factory reset the device. When I rooted this happened to me and after doing the factory reset, it worked like a charm

When I was stuck, I did and the factory reset and it booted up right and I didn't have to re-flash the kernel. If dosen't boot up right away, re-flash stock firmware, don't dis able anything, then flash the kernel and it will work .

Oh ok, well hopefully it boots right up. lol So I really haven't been into rooting and flashing roms for awhile now so Id thought I give it a try on this phone. What would you say would be best for performance/stability/battery life as far as roms go? Or do you just stick with stock? i do not do a whole lot on my phone and I also don't really use much of the features that came along with the s7 edge. i just use it for light gaming/social media/picture taking. So I guess what I am asking is what is your recommendation?
