Re: Question:Rooting

Why do they void your warranty if you do the "root" thang?

Rooting a devise allows you to actually get into the operating system and alter code as you see fit.
It enables you to insert, delete or alter any program sometimes in ways not intended by the manufacturer. Of course there are benefits in that ability to those who knows what they are about but for the uneducated, it could be damaging to the devise. This is why most rooting procedures are preempted by a disclaimer...root at your own risk.

Re: Question:Rooting

Honestly not being ota's is an advantage. The team the rooted you tablet will release an update before Samsung releases it.

Sorry, but how do the dev/team know what kind of update Samsung gonna release before they release it?
More like "this update" you is talking about, is just an update for theirs custom ROM, with fixes/optimizes and nothing to do with Samsungs official updates.

All OTAs updates to custom ROMs comes always after Samsungs release theirs official OTA update and peoples with rooted devices, extract the OTA out from the cache folder, before they apply the update or download whole official ROM and extract only OTA from it. Then devs make a flashable zip file for rooted devices to flash the update and before Samsung release the update to countries that havent got it yet.
Thinks you means this way peoples get the OTAs faster then Samsung release it?

Re: Question:Rooting

Because Android is open source and there is access to the source code. It is the just a matter of extracting the Samsung specific files from an existing release. The other way is that releases of updates are staggered so they can grab a dump for a country that has an early release and make it generally available.

I rooted and it was easy. Im also using CleanRom wroth the Bindroid kernel. It was all really easy. I just downloaded twrp custom recovery from their website and flashed it via Odin. Then I downloaded the two zip files (CleanRom 2 r2 and DutchDanny's Bindroid kernel) and flashed them one by one. The custom kernel allows you to undervolt and or overclock. PS: TWRP, team win recovery project, will root the stock firmware for you. It asks if you would like to root and install SuperSU if it sees your not rooted.
