I've been trying to get the necessary img file for the 807t which is the T Mobile version. Can't seem to figure it out so if anyone with the T Mobile version can do it, please do lol. Would be nice to see a root for any of the 807 variants. Also I'm pretty sure it's just Sprint and Verizon who use the Snapdragon with their LTE in the US (not sure about AT&T but believe there Exynos based also) I know mine uses the Exynos processor and mines a 10.5 LTE from T Mobile. If anyone can give me any info I'll work on getting chainfire the needed files for the 807 T Mobile variant.
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
I just got this T-800 version of the 10.5 and I'm wondering if this root method has been confirmed to work on the latest firmware update. I have an update waiting to be downloaded, so I just want to know if it's safe to take or not.

Is cfautoroot fails... Then your gonna have to flash twrp recovery and flash supersu zip with twrp.
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
Any links to this procedure?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Joker87:
This keeps stock recovery? Any way to have nandroid backup on this tablet?

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

Which is better? Rooting with cf or flashing supersu?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Cfautoroot is the fastest for me. Cfautoroot will install root then revert back to stock recovery. Mean while flashing twrp will replace stock recovery and give you twrp custom recovery in which you have to flash the zip in twrp.

Cfautoroot=flashing then its automated root installer.

Twrp Method= after flashed. You have to install supersu zip in twrp and it will install root.

Both are almost the same. But cfautroot is more easier and faster.

I think you need root first to do nandroids. But both methods will not loose any of your data. Then you will need twrp recovery to do a nandroid.

Does this help out at ll for the tmobile varient (sm t807t).

http://www.androidmuffins.com/t807tuvu1ank1-androidtizen-4-4-2-for-sm-t807t/

This is the longest that ive had an android device without root, and i dont think ill be able to survive.

I'm rooting right now... bought it in August

Bye bye warranty
[Galaxy Tab S General] Sp33Demon:
I'd like to know this too. I got the T700 for Christmas but my wife went ahead and set it up for me (charging and updating) so I'd be rolling out of the box. I hope this root still works for updated Tabs. I mainly need root for TiBkp and some Ad relief. Will likely do some debloat as well.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Dont worry :) if cfautoroot fails, then you can do the twrp method. With twrpyou just need to flash supsersu zip manually or it will prompt you too. Try cfautoroot and see how it goes.

Just got my Tab S 10.5 today and I want to root to get rid of some of the bloatware. It has been a few years since I've rooted my phone so I want to double check and make sure I don't brick anything.

I have the T800 model and the build number is KOT49H.T800XXU1ANFB , which matches the one for the T805 files on the CF-auto-root site. Which one should I download?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
You have to download the T800 file since yours is T800.

Wanted a chance to thank everyone in this thread which was so helpful. My new Galaxy TAB s 10.5 (T800) is rooted. I have the latest build of 4.4.2 and I used Odin 3.09 (Thanks, DrClaw). The little gotcha I ran into, which may seem odd, is I had to install the Samsung USB drivers first. Well, duh, may be your first reaction, but everything except Odin worked without them and I suspected (and was right) they would mess up my Nexus 5 ADB stuff. The easy way out (there are other ways) was to install the drivers, root and the do a system restore in Windows. Worked great! ;)

Thanks folks!
[Galaxy Tab S General] Joker87:
Please I'm in trouble with TWRP nandroids... it restores original stock ROM!! not my backup!!! What is this???

PS: Everything goes fine till /data restoring. Recovery crashes when wiping data partition

I'll try to install a prior version of TWRP

PPS: Downgraded to 2.8.1.0 via odin, this time restore worked! I had a hard time but I managed to get out of this trouble!
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
Yes, after a lot more researching on my part, the T-mobile SM-T807T is in fact using the Exynos. I am pretty disappointed as I read the LTE versions would come w/ snapdragon. At $650 I feel a bit sad to get the same CPU as the Note 3 had.

quite sad.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Fataz:
Thanks Chanfire. Works very well
[Galaxy Tab S General] junkyarddog:
Excellent guide.

Got my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 rooted using zip file provided in 1st post, while writing I am doing a Titanium full backup before "debloating".

If someone find than Odin doesn't detect the device (the button under ID:COM is greyed without any text in it), probably the system loads the wrong driver or even no driver is installed.

If you used your PC to rooting/trying to root other devices (like I did) is a very common issue.

To load the correct driver, while the table set in download mode and plugged to the USB port, simply open Device Manager (right click on Computer and left click "Manage", left click on Device Management).

Find the -probably- wrong "driven" device, could be with a ? or ! mark on it. If you have difficult to find it, you can simply unplug/plug from USB port and look in device manager window which device disappear/appears.

Once finded, left double click it, open "Driver" tab and click on "Update Driver". Select "Search automatically for update driver software" (my Windows 7 Pro 64bit is set to Italian language, thus the text could be a little different).

Windows update should download the correct driver and install it as a USB Device named "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device", at least my system did it in this way.

Now, firing Odin and plugging the tablet in download mode, the button under ID:COM should become light blue with a COM number in it: congratulations, you can follow the guide's last steps.

When (hopefully) rooted, (the tablet reboot twice at first power up) you should have SuperSU in your app; open it, it will warn that Knox is running. Let it to disable, reboot again.

Update SuperSU, reboot last time and you're done.

If you intend to use TitaniumBackup & external SD Card search how to modify "permission.xml", you'll find tons of guide how to do or even some apps that will do it for you.

As usual, don't blame me or someone else if something goes wrong and you'll get a new very expensive paper holder.

Details:

Model: SM-T800

Android Version: 4.4.2

queary sm-t800

hey man thanks for the input on everything but i have a query , basically i wanna root my tab s wi/fi sm-t800 uk, but wanna make sure i got it all good to go just incase of the worst, this is the root on autoroot.chainfire.eu --- samsung	SM-T800	chagallwifixx	chagallwifi	universal5420	exynos5

KOT49H.T800XXU1ANH1

4.4.2	18 845 797	Download	0a57f25dff9f5c735eaf642a5414d6ec	5 085 . But my build is

KOT49H.T800XXU1ANFB

as u can see the last 2 letters are diffferent are they just representing the new build or?, whats the situation with that? if i root with that specific cf root am i gonna brick it? or is it just a new build number, im a complete NOOOOOOOB to this and want some pro advice and recommendations before doing so , cheers man. happy new year
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
If it fails it would just try to root it and reboot. Even if your on an new firmware, im pretty sure it would work since it uses a custom recovery to foash root over. Its worth a try to see if it works or not. If it doesnt work then you can root with twrp manually
[Galaxy Tab S General] stealth-code:
kind regards

is twrp not a custom recov tool? dont i need to be rooted to use it?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Twrp is a custom recovery. You do not need to be rooted as its a custom recovery and is pretty similar to cfautoroot (when rooting), and it can install custom zip roms, and more features than stock recovery.

rooted galaxy tab s wi/fi

it rooted fine but now theres a superuser window which popped up after update binary window which says, Disabling KNOX , i clicked disable because it was either never,or no, any ideas anyone? much appreciated .
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Knox is ok to disable. You already tripped knox so its pretty useless. It doesnt protect you against anything and drains battery. Updating the binary normally is fine as it updates root stuff

Hey fellas.. just wanted to chime in with a fun story.

I sent my Tab T-800 in for warrenty service (power button not working correctly). Being that it was just hardware I said F-it and just sent it in running Cyanogenmod just for kicks.

Well.. tripping Knox isnt the end all be all after ....:D:D

Also.. From the time I dropped it off at ups until I got it back.. 5 days. Amazing

C

Now to Root and put TWRP back on since they flashed it back to stock.
[Galaxy Tab S General] arroyo:
@FormeriPhoney

Before you flash this tab with something. Place check if yo have clean 0x0 on KNOX. I heard stories, that Samsung devices flashed with stock ROM in Samsung Rapair Center have clean KNOX trigger.
[Galaxy Tab S General] FormeriPhoney:
Lol first thing I checked. It's tripped still. Wouldn't matter. I just tripped it again 5 min after opening the box.

A noob question folk

Isn't unlocking the bootloader supposed to wipe all data inside an android device?? Why I could unlock my Galaxy Tab with this software, even flashing a custom recovery, without losing anything??
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Well our boot loaders are already unlocked. What flashing a custom recovery does is that it's a modified recovery to flash root and speedup only, then it reverts back to stock recovery. So you won't lose anything as it will say upgrading apps on the first boot after rooting.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Joker87:

Also I need to know if the Tab S comes unlocked by default or I have to unlock bootloader first?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Im pretty sure this will root all users. Binaries and all that are flashed onto /system i think. Your model is the T805 correct? If so all tab s have unlocked bootloaders by default except ones by att and verzion ( which cant be unlocked) . Hope this helps!

I read somewhere that starting with Android L Google is taking control over the system updates using the play store. I don't remember exactly where I read this but I would like to confirm this information with you guys.

Is that right? Does it mean that after android 5 the fragmentation will end? Or I just misunderstood the info?

I wonder if this being implemented maybe the core of the system would be on a separate partition and the OEM mods on another... Maybe?

Thank you.

Maybe for pure androud, but not for oem skins. Touchwiz, HTC Sense, etc.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] saifullah90:
Agree they only update it once,
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ReggieSmith:
I suspect that the Note 4 will get the bump to Android L since the release is relatively soon. Hopefully they are working in conjunction with the carriers so that they don't have to wait until Sammy completes their image before beginning their testing. THAT's what takes so long!

Beyond the base of Samsung L, who knows?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Hope you're right.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnesus:
I would expect update to Android L in the end of January for Note 4 - judging by how Note 10.1 was updated in the past.

If you want upgrades, buy a Nexus or a Moto X.

If upgrades are your primary concern, get a Nexus.

actually i don't really know , sony has really some good sensors but they always ruin it with ****ty software , and yeah sony is dev friendly

but i guess Note 4 will have better image quality specially in low light and with video quality because it got OIS z3 doesn't

and Z3 has the same optics and sensor as Z2 as fas as i know so probs it will have the same image quality
[Galaxy Note 4 General] erdemc:
Well i bought a z2 and sold it after 2 weeks of use. my note 2 takes better pictures than z2 in day light. Sony fools people with the 20 something megapixel camera. It actually takes 8 mp photos. 20 mp is just a marketing strategy. Dont be fooled.
