These are the steps to root the Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus. Once you root the Tab Plus device, you can start installing your new apps from trusted sources around the web. You’ll find most of those apps like the Greenify app are available from the same Google Play App Store. Basically anything that says “root required” in the description will be one of the application you wouldn’t install on your device before completing this guide.

You should now find the Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus is rooted and ready to flash a custom recovery. The custom recovery will complete your customizing of the device, so you can install new custom ROMs and take complete backups without having to use the adb commands from a computer.
