There are two main ways you can use the operating system on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 tablets. One of those ways is by keeping it the way it is now which is considered a locked operating system. The other thing you can do is use it with root access which is what is called an unlocked operating system. Not to be confused with an unlocked SIM, an unlocked operating system is when you have free control over what is installed and what is taken away. It’s also what is required is developers are going to develop because the way the operating system now does not allow or any changes to be made to it.

The following is everything you need to root the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T535 tablet running on the Android 4.4.2 KitKat software updates using Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root tool.

REQUIREMENTS

• You need to have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 tablet that comes with the SM-T535 model number to use this guide. The CF-Auto-Root files are made for one model number only and flashing the wrong one bricks the device. If you do flash the wrong one, then you need to find your stock ROM and flash it to make the device work again.
• You need to have a computer that is running on a version of the Windows operating system because the Odin flashing tool only runs on a Windows environment.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Chainfire was running the KOT49H.T535XXU1AND9 firmware build number when he developed the version of the CF-Auto-Root tool for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T535 tablet that you are finding in this guide. That doesn’t mean you need to be running on the same firmware build number. You need the right model number and for the device to be running on the Android 4.4.2 KitKat software updates and it should work.
• You need to have the Developer Options menu unlocked and the USB Debugging Mode enabled before the device connected to the computer in the guide or else you cannot make the necessary changes to the Android software for the rooting to happen.
• The computer you are using to run the Odin flashing applications needs to have the Samsung USB Drivers installed on it. Install them now if your computer doesn’t have them already.
