If you received the OTA firmware update like I did, you probably loss root access and it's now very hard to re-root. This is because Samsung updated the Knox partition and also the firmware.
What does this means?
Even if you flash an older version of your firmware, Knox partition will remain the same and you still won't have root access.
NOTICE: Root might be easy for some, but Xposed is really tricky to install on this device. Please backup all your files from your internal storage because there are minor chances your device might go into a boot loop, meaning you WILL have to flash a firmware again, this DOES NOT means you need to wipe your device, but it's always better to be prepared for the worst.
If you have no problem installing Xposed on your E7, this post is not for you! This is only if you received the OTA update!
1. ROOTING YOUR PHONE
- Install Kingo Root on your computer and follow the step by step instructions, just make sure to enable USB debugging from the developer options on your device and click accept when prompted to connect with your computer. You will have to wait from 5 to 20 minutes for the software to try multiple ways to root your device, sometimes it is really fast and sometimes it takes a while, it really depends on your firmware so if you fail to gain root access just go ahead and try another firmware from Sammobile. I use E700HXXU1AOAC_E700HUUB1AOAC_TPA and works really well, this is the firmware for Panama and it's NOT the newest one, however it has worked quite well for me. // CF Auto-Root used to worked before, however, after the update it is no longer working on this device :crying:
NOTICE: Disabling Knox voids your warranty and removes a very cool feature from your phone. Without Knox, anyone can steal your device and become its new owner. Why? Well, Knox links your device to your account only, no one else can use it unless having your user and password from Samsung, even after a full factory reset! So please keep this in mind, I'm willing to sacrifice this because I love Xposed.
2. DISABLING KNOX
- Now that you have Root Access, you need to install SuperSU to disable KNOX. Just go to the play store, download SuperSU, open it and grant root access to it using Kingo Root. You should now be prompted to Disable Knox and obviously you have to accept that!
3. OPTIONAL - Removing Kingo
- Download Titanium Backup from the Play Store so that you can remove your old Kingo User app... you won't need it anymore because you now have SuperSU. You can also uninstall Kingo App :good:
That's it! Rooted and without KNOX you can now install Xposed with no problems! No need for custom recoveries, just follow the classical procedure.
If you need help installing Xposed now that your device is properly rooted and without Knox, make sure to visit the other posts for more details.

i have downgraded to kitkat
and rooted by kingroot
good a root acsess also and super user granted the permisson now which sdk version zip have to download
Hi all !
I have decided to root my tab s2 to gain access to system to modify parameters to disable add user option in notification. I see no other working option.
Request to help me with the required tools and guide to root. Will it be possible to update to nougat after I root ?
Is it possible to root the device and stay on the same andriod version ? I have previous rooted my other phones including pantech burst and samsung wave 2 but not able to find a complete guide for tab s2 SM-T715
Thanks a lot !
Yes, it possible to root the device and stay on the same andriod version. Matter of fact, once rooted you should disable OTA updates for thyat can break root and your device.
You could update the OS manually via TWRP.
But first and for most, you had better make a system backup before tinkering about.

Moreover, TWRP can give you temporary root access.
I have a Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580) WI-FI only tablet that was recently upgraded to Android 8.1.0 by Samsung. I know that many people root their devices to gain complete control over the device and that rooting will allow you to remove the Samsung Bloatware on the device. That being said i wonder if there's a way to remove this bloatware short of rooting the device? If not, I'm concerned that the rooting methods might not be compatible after my tablet was recently updated. I'm also concerned about the complexity of the rooting process as I'm not technically savvy and the last thing I want to do is turn my tablet into a brick.
My main concern is that there is so much bloatware on this device that I never use that now I'm unable to install new apps that I do want without removing other apps I do use and want to keep. Note that I have already moved the apps I can to my SD card and I'm still short on application storage.
Can I please get some advance on what direction I can take? Thanks.
Play store has some stuff . . .

One of them might work . . .

Might.

OK several points. Firstly there is no point in removing system apps, you will gain absolutely nothing.
It's better to simply disable them and you don't need root to do this.
Second you cannot install apps to the system partition unless you have root so in no way is this affecting you installing other apps.
Lastly it is highly unlikely that you will turn your device into a brick by rooting . It's not really possible as it's simply a software hack that is easily removed.
Your best tool is research before you root.

I'm not sure if Exynos can be root as of now...If you are on the SD version, there are some posts here that show how to unlock the BL, install magisk and SU...but honestly, it's best to wait until some foolproof method is out...whatever be the case, you will lose Knox and other Knox related stuff
Exynos can be rooted I believe, but ask yourself why you want or need to root your phone.
I've had various Android phones since around 2009, and this is the first Android device I've owned that I haven't immediately rooted, and don't immediately see the need to. Previously, I mainly rooted because I wanted XprivacyLUA, Viper4Android and AFWall (amongst other things like Titanium Backup and Root Explorer but they're the main three). However, in the 3 weeks I've had this phone I've not really missed them. I use Netguard for a firewall, and the DAC appears to be good enough to not really need Viper. XPrivacy is a miss, but not one I can l can't deal with.
I'm not ruling out rooting it at some point in the future. I've just decided it's not required right now. Especially as I've started using Samsung Pay and that would immediately and permanently be lost once Knox is tripped.
Any advice on how to go about this safely would be most appreciated. I want to find a load to remove bloatware and Samsung nosieware.
Cheers,
Evan
If you dont want to take ANY risks, its possible to root with KingoRoot (not KingRoot). [i always use this on other people's phones as i cant afford to risk damaging their devices]
You can also try rooting your device using Odin, as it's a samsung.
You're porbably not in warranty, so if you want to do it the normal way, flash a custom rom (twrp or ofox), then flash the magisk.zip to obtain root.
Look up some tutorials, its not super complicated.
