How to Root Samsung Galaxy Tab-E (AT&T) SM-T377A Without PC

In this guide, I will show you how to unlock the bootloader and root Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020) using Magisk. This guide is applicable to any Galaxy Tab A7 running Android 10 (One UI 2.5) firmware with SM-T500 (WiFi variant) and SM-T505 (LTE variant) model numbers.

On the software end, the Tab A7 runs Android 10 out-of-the-box with Samsung’s One UI 2.5 skin sitting atop. There’s no doubt that Samsung has quite significantly improved its software game with One UI, compared to the old Samsung Experience.

Rooting your Galaxy Tab A7 will give you full freedom to customize and tweak the software to your own liking. Be it UI customizations, using root applications, or installing audio mods such as ViPER4Android, rooting opens the gate wide open for everything.

Did you know? You can easily remove bloatware for the Galaxy Tab A7 without root.

Moreover, rooting with Magisk has its own perks. Unlike the traditional root solutions, Magisk allows you to apply modifications to the software systemless-ly, that is, without ever touching the /system partition. You could also use the built-in Magisk Hide functionality to hide root access from banking and security apps, and games such as Pokemon Go.

But in order to achieve root access, you must first unlock the bootloader of your Galaxy Tab A7.

Before You Begin

Before you start performing the given instructions, there are a couple of things you should do.

1. Take a Complete Backup: Before anything, you should take a complete backup of all your important data stored on your tablet. Unlocking the bootloader will completely erase all the data, including installed apps, messages, contacts, and everything stored in the internal storage. Moreover, another reset will be performed during the rooting process.

You could also take a look at our article here on backing up different types of data stored on Android devices.

2. Install Samsung USB Drivers: Generally, your Windows computer will automatically install the required USB drivers for your Samsung tablet. But that is not always the case though. So, if you’re operating on a Windows machine, you might want to download and install the latest Samsung USB drivers.

If you’re using a macOS/Linux PC, you wouldn’t need any additional drivers at all.

3. Charge your Galaxy Tab A7: If you’re new to things like bootloader unlocking, we strongly suggest that you take your time to understand what each step does.

5. Verify the software build number: It’s important that you verify the build number of the software installed on your Galaxy Tab A7. This will ensure that you use and patch the correct firmware file during the rooting process.

As an example, see the screenshot below. It shows the complete build number information on my Galaxy Tab A7 (SM-T500) as – “QP1A.190711.020.T500XXU1ATJ2”. Here, “T500XXU1ATJ2” is the software build number I will need.

6. Download the stock firmware package: You will need to download the stock firmware package that matches the firmware that’s currently installed on your tablet.

While you could use online databases like SamMobile, SamFrew, etc, we recommend using Frija or Samloader tool to download the stock firmware package. These tools download the latest firmware directly from Samsung’s update servers without any speed caps.

7. Download Magisk App: To patch the firmware for rooting, you will need the Magisk companion application. So, download the latest available version directly from the official Github releases page to your computer.

8. Download Odin: To flash the patched AP firmware, you will need to download Odin (v3.14.1 or newer) to your computer. After downloading, extract the contents of the ZIP file to get the tool’s executable and binaries.

The method of unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Galaxy Tab A7 is a true and tried one. We have split the instructions into ten steps so that it’s easy for you to understand the complete process.

The only things you’ll require are:

With the requirements out of the way, let’s begin with the instructions.

Enable OEM Unlocking

Unlock the Bootloader

With OEM unlocking enabled, you can now unlock the bootloader on your Tab A7.

Unlike a majority of other OEM devices, Samsung doesn’t require using any fastboot commands or involve retrieving any unlock keys. It could be done straight on the device itself. When you turned ON the toggle, the bootloader enabled a special ‘Device Unlock Mode’ which is used for unlocking.

To unlock the bootloader, power off your Tab A7 first. Then connect it to the computer while holding the Volume Up and Volume Down keys together until you see the bootloader screen (as shown in the figure below).

Now long-press the Volume Up key to enter ‘Device unlock mode‘. You should now be presented with a confirmation prompt for unlocking the bootloader. Finally, press the Volume Up key to confirm and unlock the bootloader on your Galaxy Tab A7.

Your Tab A7’s bootloader is now unlocked and it should reboot automatically. You should also see a warning message right before the Samsung splash screen, just as shown in the picture below. This is an obligatory warning message and completely normal. And before you ask, no, there’s no way to get rid of it (unless of course, you relock the bootloader).

The first boot after unlocking the bootloader could take some time (took around 3-4 minutes for me). So be patient.

Verify the bootloader status to disable VaultKeeper

Now that the bootloader is unlocked, you will need to verify it to prevent Samsung’s VaultKeeper service from kicking in and relocking the bootloader.

Now that the bootloader is unlocked, it’s time to start with the rooting process.

Extract the AP firmware and transfer it to the Tab A7

The downloaded firmware package should be in .zip file format, so you need to extract its contents to get the flashable firmware binaries. So, open the location on your computer where the firmware package was downloaded, right-click on the file, choose “Extract All” and then select “Extract”.

The extracted folder should contain the individual firmware files in .tar.md5 format. These will be:

While you’ll only need the AP firmware for patching, don’t delete the rest of the files. You will need these files later on during this guide.

Now, connect your Galaxy Tab A7 to the computer via USB and enable ‘File Transfer’ mode. Copy over the extracted AP firmware file to the tab’s internal storage. Although you can copy this file anywhere, we suggest copying it to the root directory (i.e. outside all the folders) for easier access.

Patch the AP Firmware with Magisk

With the required AP firmware now transferred to your tablet, it’s time to patch with Magisk, using the official Magisk companion app. To do this, transfer the downloaded Magisk APK file (e.g. Magisk-v22.0.apk) to your tablet’s internal storage and then install the APK using a file manager application.

Next, go to the app drawer and launch the Magisk Manager application on your Galaxy Tab A7. Then press the settings icon (cogwheel) on the top-right of the app’s window and press the ‘Update channel‘ option. Select ‘Beta‘ from the list and go back to the app’s main screen. Not needed anymore as Magisk v21 has been pushed to the Stable channel as well.

Launch the Magisk app, press the ‘Install‘ button and choose ‘Select and Patch a File‘ from the list of available installation methods. This should instantly open the file selection window for you to choose the file you want to patch with Magisk. So, navigate to the location where you transferred the AP firmware file and select it.

Once the file has been selected, press ‘LET’S GO!‘ to patch the file. The app will download the latest version of Magisk and patch the AP firmware with it. The patching process might take a minute or two depending on the filesize.

After the process finishes, the patched AP firmware TAR file will be stored inside the ‘Download‘ folder of your Tab A7’s internal storage. The filename should be “magisk_patched_xxxxx.tar”, where “xxxxx” will be a series of random letters.

Connect your tab to the computer and copy the patched AP firmware file to the folder where the rest of the firmware files are present (BL, CP, CSC, etc).

Boot your Galaxy Tab A7 into Download Mode

For Odin to recognize your Galaxy Tab A7 and flash the patched AP firmware, you must boot it into Download Mode.

To do this, power off your tab first. Then connect it to your computer over USB while holding the Volume Up and Volume Down keys together. You should now see the Bootloader screen (what you saw while performing step #2). Simply, tap the Volume Up key once to enter Download Mode.

Here’s how it looks like:

Launch the Odin Tool on your computer

Now, open the folder where the Odin tool was extracted and launch the tool by double-clicking the ‘Odin3 v3.14.4.exe‘ executable file. If you’re prompted with a message on the screen, select “Ok“. You should now see Odin’s interface on your computer screen.

The tool will automatically recognize your Galaxy Tab A7 in Download Mode and display the corresponding COM port number on the top-left of the interface.

Tip: If you’re operating on a Linux/macOS computer, you can flash the firmware on Samsung devices using Heimdall.

Flash the Patched AP Firmware to Root Galaxy Tab A7

With everything now ready, it’s time to flash the patched AP firmware file and root your Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 with Magisk.

Now, load the firmware files in the Odin tool as instructed below:

Few things to note:

Once all the firmware files have been loaded in their corresponding slots, click the ‘Options’ tab in Odin and make sure to uncheck ‘Auto Reboot’. This will prevent your tablet from automatically rebooting after the flash is complete.

Finally, click ‘Start‘ to begin the flashing process. Once it finishes, you should see a ‘PASS!‘ message in Odin. You can close Odin and disconnect your tablet from the computer.

Perform a factory reset via stock recovery

Now, you will need to boot your Tab A7 into the stock recovery mode and perform a factory reset.

To do this, hold the Volume Down and Power keys together for about 7 seconds to exit Download Mode. As soon as the screen turns off, release the Volume Down key and quickly hold the Volume Up key, while still holding the Power key.

Your tab should now enter the stock recovery mode. Here’s what the recovery mode looks like:

Use the Volume keys to move the selector to ‘Wipe data/factory reset’ and hit the Power key to confirm the selection. Finally, select ‘Factory data reset’ to confirm when prompted.

Once the factory reset is complete, select ‘Reboot system now’ from the recovery’s main menu to boot your Tab A7 into the system (OS).

Complete the Additional Magisk Setup

While the rooting process is now complete, there are just a couple of things left to do before you could start using Magisk.

So, go to the app drawer and launch the Magisk app. The app initially installs a stub and will prompt you to install the full Magisk app. So select ‘Ok’ and then ‘Install.

Once the full Magisk app is installed, launch the app and it will prompt you to complete the additional setup. So press ‘Ok’ and wait for the magic to happen. Once it is complete, your tab will reboot automatically.

Your Galaxy Tab A7 is now Rooted!

That’s it! You have successfully rooted your Galaxy Tab A7 10.4. To verify this, you can launch the Magisk app and you should see the installed Magisk version right next to the ‘Installed’ label. You can further check if your rooted tab passes SafetyNet by pressing the ‘Check SafetyNet’ button in the Magisk app.

SafetyNet fails and shows ‘Hardware’ evalType? It means that Google’s new hardware-backed attestation is now in effect on your tablet. You can try fixing this by using the Universal SafetyNet Fix module.

Now go ahead and start using root applications like Titanium Backup. You could also hide root from banking and security apps that might generally not work on a rooted device. From Magisk v20.4 onwards, Magisk Hide is turned off by default on new installations. So, you will need to turn it ON manually by going to the Magisk app’s settings menu.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Now let’s take a look at some questions you might have after rooting your tablet.

Q: How can I install software updates on my Galaxy Tab A7 after rooting?

Q: Do I need to press a special button combination to enter the rooted Magisk system and stock recovery?

Q. I wish to unroot my tab and revert back to the stock Samsung software, what should I do?

Samsung наконец выпустила свой новый планшет; Galaxy Tab A7 Lite с 8,7-дюймовым дисплеем WXGA+, восьмиядерным SoC, а также 3 ГБ и 4 ГБ оперативной памяти. Он работает на MediaTek Helio P22T (MT8786T). На этой странице мы расскажем вам, как получить root права на Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite без TWRP Recovery. Чтобы прошить рут-файл, вам нужно сначала разблокировать загрузчик на вашем устройстве.

Мы будем использовать Magisk, исправив файл загрузочного образа Stock ROM и прошив его в загрузочный раздел устройства. Устройство Galaxy Tab A7 Lite поставляется с вариантами SM-T220/T225. Просто следуйте полной статье со всеми требованиями, ссылками для скачивания и инструкциями по перепрошивке с изображениями.

Чтобы получить root права, вам потребуется загрузить пропатченный файл образа из Magisk Manager и прошить его. Стоит отметить, что загрузчик вашего устройства Galaxy Tab A7 Lite должен быть сначала разблокирован. Без разблокировки загрузчика невозможно включить root-доступ на вашем телефоне. Укоренив свой телефон, вы получите контроль суперпользователя или администратора над вашей системой над системными приложениями и подсистемами.

Рутинг смартфона аналогичен джейлбрейку устройства, чтобы получить доступ администратора к подсистеме, системным приложениям, корневому каталогу устройства и многому другому. Это даст вам контроль суперпользователя для использования вашего устройства в подсистеме Android. После рутирования устройства пользователь может легко удалять, редактировать или изменять системные файлы или настройки. Пользователи с правами root также могут увеличивать или уменьшать производительность системы, производительность батареи и т. д.

В основном процесс рутирования пригодится, если вы используете какие-либо сторонние пользовательские ПЗУ. Это повысит доступность до более широкой степени. Хотя иногда неправильное рутирование может привести к поломке вашего устройства или аннулированию гарантии на устройство (если применимо). Чаще всего люди используют рут для изменения тем, значков, шрифтов, установки других файлов модов, настройки Android для визуальных изменений и т. д.

Кроме того, пользователь корневого устройства также может настраивать панель уведомлений, пользовательский интерфейс системы, изменять цвета акцента, устанавливать модули Xposed, изменять экран блокировки, виджеты, улучшать камеру и многое другое.

Шаги для рутирования Galaxy Tab A7 Lite с помощью Magisk

Разблокировка загрузчика устройства и установка root приведет к аннулированию гарантии на телефон (если применимо). Процесс также сотрет все внутренние данные. Мы рекомендуем вам сначала сделать полную резервную копию данных устройства, прежде чем что-либо делать. GetDroidTips не несет ответственности за какие-либо циклы загрузки, сбои или любые повреждения ваших устройств во время/после выполнения этого руководства. Действуйте на свой страх и риск.

Пожалуйста, обрати внимание:

После того, как вы загрузили точный файл прошивки на основе номера модели вашего устройства, вы можете извлечь файл boot.img, чтобы исправить его с помощью приложения Magisk Manager.
