[GUIDE] Root without flashing custom recovery

With Lollipop just around the corner, I'm guessing some will be reverting back to stock to get the OTA update. This is for those guys that still want root and be able to get the OTA and have it actually work. Installing SuperSU from the Play Store doesn't work if you haven't rooted your device already.
I'm not going to get into specifics about unlocking your bootloader, going back to stock, adb and drivers. All of these should be done if you reverted back to stock.
Go ahead and download the latest SuperSU here from your tablet.
Download a custom recovery on your computer. I used TWRP 2.7.1.1. Place the .img you downloaded in your adb folder (\android-sdk). You can rename if you want. For sake of this guide, let's say I renamed it twrp.
Reboot into bootloader. To make sure everything is connected, why not run:
fastboot devices
Then run (if everything is connected of course):
fastboot boot twrp.img
Let it do its thing. Sooner or later you'll have TWRP pop-up on your tablet.
*Note: You're simply downloading and booting from the image on your computer. This isn't flashing the recovery on your tablet.
Make sure it mounted (I had no problems) and flash SuperSU like you would anything else in recovery.
This worked for me. Right before this, I reverted back to stock using comminus' guide, left my tablet unlocked, booted, checked USB Debugging and Unknown Sources (not sure if this matters) and did this method and I have root.
Hope this helps. :good:
And just because it's cute and funny...:victory:

[Root] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (P31xx) Upgraded to Lollipop (SlimLP)

A few days past SlimLP, the first Lollipop ROM for Galaxy Tab 2 is released. Rom worked fine and is good to go but some people (I also in beginning) found it difficult to Root the ROM as after installing this ROM the root is lost. There was not any proper Flashable SuperSU zip on internet. (May be there is but I didn't found any). So the method that I am going to present is much easy. I discovered it myself while just trying to root it.
Requirements:
1. PhilZ Recovery Installed (Official Link)
2. Battery At-Least 50% (Recommended But not Necessary)
Method:
Just boot into PhilZ Recovery And do as shown in pictures Below.
And you are done.​ ​ ​ ​ The recovery will say to install SuperSU from play store but SlimLP has pre-installed Super User and you need not to install it manually. Congrats your ROM is now rooted. :good:​ Credits:
Phil3759 for such an amazing recovery.

Sorry for mistake in 2nd Pic
In the Second pic. The arrow should be on Re-root. So please do not do it wrong its a mistake in picture.

Working experience
How is it working r there any bugs

Am using lates slimlp it is very smooth but hotspot is not working
Sent from my GT-P3100 using XDA Free mobile app

It is smooth but it is still under development so we cannot expect no bugs. Rom is good but not so stable for daily use.

If you go to the SuperSU thread, @Chainfire has a link to download the flashable zip from his website. It is the official version of SuperSU.

Update to Nougat with Flashfire

Hey all - I downloaded the factory image for the release version of Nougat from here. I went to try flashing it using flashfire as usual, but the partition listing is a bit different than before. Instead of /system /boot /user etc. I see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So has anyone else been able to do flash this update through flashfire? How did you do it exactly?
Thanks.

anyone else? i would also like to know

It was posted on Android Police.

This is not a factory image but an OTA package.

And an OTA from DP5 not from MM stock

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any lost data or damage to your device should you choose to follow my advice. Just because it worked for me, is no guarantee that it will work perfectly for you too. Proceed at your own risk.
Sign up for the Beta program at http://g.co/androidbeta and within a few minutes you should get a notification on your phone to download the ota to Official 7.0. Download this, but do not install it. After download, open Flashfire back up and it should automatically see the system OTA and prompt you to flash it. Doesn't matter whether or not you tell it to inject root, as this will not work. After the whole process completes and you are on the official Android 7 build, you can boot CF-Auto-Root using fastboot from your computer to get systemless root. Also, I expect within a few days someone will have full system root and various custom ROMs will be updated to Android 7.

[Update] WW_4.21.40.352_20170623_7598 OTA for MM

Just got a notice that .352 is out, 33MB upgrade, I will need to reflash stock recovery to install it.
This is about "better wifi connection"

unroot, flash stock boot/recovery, download OTA, install OTA, flash TWRP ---> ok
flash Magisk 13.1 ---> failed, bootloop, I had to install 327 boot.
So if you install the update, please backup boot for me

So before update to 352 is better to wait for an updated toolkit?

Do you have the OTA file?

Like always I forgot to flash stock boot image beforehand, so I encountered error 7. Can anyone upload just the incremental update?

You can download the OTA here:
