Samsung Galaxy Tab E is a decent quality Android Tablet, which comes with 9.6 inches TFT touchscreen display powered by 1.3 GHz Quad-Core processor along with 1.5 GB RAM and the device runs on Android v5.1 (Lollipop) operating system. If you own this Tablet and looking for a way to root it, you are on the right page as I have given a step by step tutorial to root Samsung Galaxy Tab E here.
This procedure doesn’t require any PC or Laptop to root your device. So, Root Samsung Galaxy Tab E device without using a computer and get the ability to remove pre-installed applications, install custom ROM firmware’s, custom-built Android applications, Etc.
WARNING: Rooting your Samsung Galaxy Tab E Tablet will void its warranty, and you won’t be able to claim it unless you unroot your Tablet. So, think well about it before proceeding with this rooting procedure.
Prerequisites:
Step 1: Make sure that you have deactivated all antivirus applications on your Tablet as they tend to interrupt the rooting process.
Step 2: Then, ensure that your device has at least 50-60% battery backup in it before getting started with the rooting process.
Step 3: Now, enable the “Unknown Sources” by following this path: Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources for installing apps from sources other than Google Play Store.
Step 4: Next, the rooting procedure given here is not a data-loss process, but it won’t hurt to have a backup of personal data on your Tablet. So, take a complete backup before getting started with the rooting process.
Once you finish all these preliminary tasks, you can move forward with the rooting tutorial given below.
Tutorial To Root Samsung Galaxy Tab E Without PC:
Step 1: To get started, download Towelroot apk (tr.apk) file directly to your device. While doing so, you might get a warning message stating that this file might harm your device. Just ignore it and download the APK file.
Step 2: Once the tr.apk file downloaded, click on it to install the Towelroot app in your device. While doing so, you will again get a warning message stating that the app is harmful because it contains code that will bypass Android security protections. Just ignore it and click on “Install Anyway” to install the app on your device.
Step 3: Once done, open up the Towelroot app in your Samsung Galaxy Tab E Tablet and click on “make it ra1n” to launch the rooting procedure. Once the rooting process gets finished, your Tablet will reboot automatically.
That’s it. Now you have successfully finished rooting Samsung Galaxy Tab E Tablet using Towelroot one-click rooting application. For confirmation, download Root checker app from Google Play Store, install it on your device and confirm root access on your Tablet.

Hi, If your Tablet isn’t supported, change modstrings by opening the towelroot application and tapping three times on the “Welcome to Towelroot v3” sign. This will open a white box under “Make it rain button” where you have to type the following code
Code 1. 1337 0 1 0 4 0 (Standard code – works on most devices)
Code 2: 1337 0 1 7380 4 0 (For Samsung Galaxy Device)
Code 3: 1337 0 1 0 4 1 (Universal code – gives temporary Root Access)

I changed the mod strings in the towelroot app to the second one for Samsung Galaxy devices. I get the same issue “towelroot isn’t responding. Do you want to close it?” And I can click “wait” or “ok” and there is no root.

This process does not work on a Galaxy TAB E model SM-T773V. Hit the “phone isn’t supported” step, then tried the modstrings change for Code 2 from Sathish above. After entering custom code and tapping make it ra1n button nothing happens.

Android 6.0.1
Kernel 3.10.9-8864257

Please don’t respond with the generic “Try these codes” because they don’t work

What error are you getting?
Mike Moore says
something like “this device not supported”
Tried all three codes.
When I run program, screen says something like “Welcome”
I tap the screen 3 times to open the text window
Enter the code
Then the only thing that changes is the “device not supported” appears on top of screen

Thank you for the reply…
However….
I wrote in my email the version of android and…
DON’T SEND ME THE GENERIC CODES CUZ THEY DON’T WORK
If you can’t… just say so and I’ll go elsewhere
Thanks for the work others are finding useful
Very Logical says
I would like to state that Mr. Varatharajan’s Codes are not working. No matter what we try, towelroot is not the best solution. So we should all try and find new methods and delete TowelRoot ( reason because its just a waste of time and effort.
Have a nice day
