Hi guys I was wondering how I can get a cmd on my galaxy tab 2. I have downloaded kingroot and now it won’t let me uninstall it and I wanted to get su on cmd to go directly to the file and delete all files linked to it thank you all for you time!

Well if Kingroot was successful it would have it's own version of SuperSU.

What's the model number and Android version?


Do you have a PC?

It does have a super user app but it doesn’t work it’s was originally the king root one click method.

Model number : SM-T210
Android version : 4.4.2

I do have a pc but I want to learn how to do it all with code and stuff as I’m trying to learn how to hack

Thank you kindly for your time

I'm not quite clear on what you want to do, but if you're rooted and want root access in a terminal, do the following...

Install ADB on your pc. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Enable ADB debugging in developer options of your phone.
Plug your phone to your pc.
Run the following command to see if adb recognizes your phone:
Code: 
adb devices
Enter your phone's shell ($):
Code: 
adb shell
Switch to a root shell (#):
Keep an eye on your phone after running this command. You may get a prompt requesting root access (grant it).
Code: 
su
Once at the root shell, you can cd to wherever you wish to wreak havoc in your phone. :eek:
Example:
To go into the system directory you run this:
Code: 
cd /system
To list everything in system to see files or what directory you wish to go to next:
Code: 
ls -1

You can do all of the above from a terminal emulator app, but it's easier plugged to your pc. Be careful what you do. Don't want to end up bricked. ;)

KingRoot has its own SU called KingUser. Which I believe is spyware, and phones home your data to their servers in China, for sale to third-parties. That's how this app is monetized. So maybe best to replace it with SuperSU or Magisk if you can.

I think you are definitely right about it being spyware. I want to root it my self threw the cmd and delete all of the kingroot and super user files and then I will most lightly put a custom rom on there and get all the games for my little ones for free is my hope and also put restrictions on there my self so that he can’t go and change documents, system files and that’s my end goal also to make the tablet to run faster and more responsively. Thank you for reassuring me of that I was right in thinking that kingroot is spyware appreciate it and I love how responsive this forum is it’s brilliant.

So out of the commands I posted you are on the 3rd one in windows command prompt(CMD)?

^ If you are and getting that message, it means you're not rooted. You will first need to root your device with a proper root method.

I don't know the model number of your tab 2, but I see the tab 2 listed on xda with root procedures. Just make sure that it's for your model number.

XDA is a trusted source for root:

That model number changes everything. So you actually have a Tab 3 and not a Tab 2 according to that model number.

There are 2 different root methods for your tab 3. Just choose the one you're more comfortable with...
