Yes,

But it's more "elegant" to start with a rooted, Knox"O" tab and using Flashfire to go further.

Plus: you don't need a PC
[Galaxy Tab S General] vndnguyen:
This approach will only work with Kitkat firmware, so you have to downgrade first, righr?
[Galaxy Tab S General] stefan.pilsu:
Works with SM-T700 Lollipop 5.0.2 for me.
[Galaxy Tab S General] vndnguyen:
Is that you answered my above question?

If you, please give more details, e.g. a discussion thread about it, download link, etc..

Thanks.

A Little Info! I have used your Root-Solution for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE, and it works Great! The only Thing was, a few days after i rooting my Tab, a Solution come up, here on XDA, to root WITHOUT tripping KNOX! Anyway, i asked You, is OTA-Update still functional after Your root-method, and You tell me No, I must download a Firmware and Flash it via Odin! Now i want to download my actual Firmware, for Backup, in case i must reflash my Firmware for any reason! And to my surprise, there is no Download-Source for Samsung-Firmwares that Downloads a Firmware in time under 8-Houers!!! In the last days i search for a faster download-source without paying, i found no download-source, but a other very good solution for that! I have download from Samsung-Website a Programm with the Name SmartSwitch, and this Programm can Backup/Restore your Phone/SD-Data, and also can make a Firmware-Update and Firmware Emergency Reflash! And the cool Thing, the Programm Downloads the right Firmware for your Device and Clean-Install it in Minutes! And the Programm os very easy and simple to use! Now we can download and install/Reflash firmwares in a normal time! Not houers for download one Firmware, or pay for fast download!
[Galaxy Tab S General] vndnguyen:
Thanks for the useful info. Could you also give a link to the SmartSwitch, please?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Smartswitch is just a replacement for kies. Run kies and it will offer to download.

Same servers, same speed just different software.

I'm guessing the ota update above was not the full firmware, but the small update some people have been getting.
[Galaxy Tab S General] vndnguyen:
Oh I see.

So Smart Switch only allows you to update non-rooted (completely stock) device, isn't it?
[Galaxy Tab S General] stefan.pilsu:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Great download speed
[Galaxy Tab S General] roselanguste:
No! Thats the real Good thing, download and flashing a Firmware with SmartSwitch on a rooted Device brings back the Device to Stock-Status! I have tried it with an rooted device, and after SmartSwitch the device was fully unrooted and stock! Even in the bootloader is after SmartSwitch the Firmware and bin satus OFFICIAL!
[Galaxy Tab S General] vndnguyen:
That sounds great.

Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy Tab S General] roselanguste:
Not neccesary! The only thing You must do is search in Google for Samsung SmartSwitch, and you come to the Samsung-Site and there You can download it! Other thing: few People said that SmartSwitch is the New KIES!
[Galaxy Tab S General] vndnguyen:
I already known about the SmartSwitch before as an app for transferring contents from Samsung phones to another one. But I don't know that it can be used to upgrade the stock firmware.
[Galaxy Tab S General] roselanguste:
Yeah, there is a App for Data Backups, and a PC/MAC Version for Data Backups and Firmware Updates and also emergency Firmware reflash, in case something goes wrong! Alsome!
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
But why is that any different to what kies used to do?

As far as I remember kies would update a rooted device, its only ota that gets affected and why would you want to go back to stock status anyway? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab S General] roselanguste:
Oh, no i dont want go back to stock! It was just Information! For Long time i had no Samsung devices, my last was Asus,Sony, and now i have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S and i dont know about KIES! I have read a many about Firmware-Update after root for Samsung Devices this days, and after the root we know that no more OTA works! But i want a easy solution for further Firmware-Updates in case there Comes one for my device, and i only found that it goes with ODIN but you Need the Firmware! And the Firmware sources that i found, they dont download a Firmware under 6-8 Hours!!! I have not seen in my Online-Search for that Problem, that KIES make that also! I only found SmartSwitch, and i think it is almost the same as KIES! Sorry, for the Confusion!

Hi, you seem quite knowledgeable on the subject. I’m looking to pick up a tab s 8.4. If the device comes with lollipop or kit Kat can I still use this method to root it and get a custom recovery? I’m not too worried if I trip knox. I’m picking up the device for its good development so I want to be able to flash custom ROMs on it. Was perusing around but it seems quite a few devices are listed under the tab s forum.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Yes.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Soapm:
This is what I used to root my Tab S 8.4. It installed TWRP which I then used to install various custom ROM.s

How do I get more of my apps to load to my 64gb SD Card and not fill up my puny 16g of internal storage? I went though the apps and did "move to SD card" but that freed up a minimum amount of space if any...

[Galaxy Tab S General] testudoaubreii:
Hello,

I am brand new to Samsung tabs and rooting. I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800. I had a Sony Xperia Z2 tablet and I loved it for a few reasons, but most importantly, I was able to remote play my PS4 and use Moonlight to stream my games. I was able to use my Dualshock 4 controller for both.

When I got the Samsung home, I downloaded all of my favorite apps and tested out the tablet. Everything works fine except for pairing the DS4 to the device. The tab recognizes the DS4 as a generic wireless controller, but it gets stuck while trying to pair. This was disappointing because I thought I would be able to use it at least for Moonlight PC game streaming. I knew that I would not be able to PS4 Remote Play, but I thought for sure I would be able to use a controller with the Tab S. I am tempted to return the Tab S and order an International Z4 tablet. I would be paying much more than I paid for the Tab S, but everything would work natively. However, I wanted to check out some rooting methods to see if I can hang on the Tab S, because I do like it and I really don't want to spend $700 on the Z4 tablet.

Anyhow, I started reading the OP and I really like the idea of auto-root. I don't care to install custom ROMs or anything. I want the easiest way to root and to keep my device as close to stock as possible. So, my questions/concerns are:

1. If I do this auto-root method, can I use Sixaxis to connect my DS4 controller?

2. Am I still able to install the PS4 Remote Play port?

3. Will I still be able to use my Google account and download all of the regular apps that I personally use?

4. If I auto-root, will I be able to get it back to the original factory setting if I decide to return it?

--OR--

5. should I just get an OTG USB adapter and use it to play games lol?

I am sure that I have other questions and forgot to post them. Oh well, I think this will do for now.

Thank you in advance for any and all help, advice and/or suggestions and thank you if you made it through that kind of lengthy post.

Factory reset

Hi i gave a question i rooted my galaxy s smt800 using this method.. My question is i need to format my tablet if i do a factory restore will it revert my tablet back to factory or will my root access stay? Also im sorryy for posting mh question this way but i didn't see any way to make a thread
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You will maintain root, but you will need to install the superuser app.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bartleby999:
Will this work for my device? I'm thinking this won't be compatible as I'm now running 5.0.2 and all the files on Chainfires website list 4.4.2 with build numbers of KOT instead of my LRX

Would really appreciate some help guys.

[Galaxy Tab S General] bartleby999:
Well now I feel like a ****ing idiot. I did read the about half the thread, but how I missed post 9 (on the first page) about it not being build specific I don't know. :rolleyes: I'll go ahead and root with this. Thanks ashyx. :good: And Edan for answering the original question. :)

If you want a more up to date version which includes twrp check out my thread in the development section. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S General] Starky1:
Alright this will be my first android root as a newbie and I think I will be using the version with a custom boot loader too (cf-autoroot-twrp-t800.tar) from September 29th in the TWRP version thread.

As far as I know the process goes like this:

1) install Odin 10.6

2) install Samsung USB Phone Drivers (?)

3) make sure USB debugging is on, reboot tablet in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power Key)

4) Click AP and point to cf-autoroot-twrp-t800.tar

5) connect tablet to USB cable

6) Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time ARE checked (nothing else should be checked) - this is confusing because the tutorial I am using has an image showing only F. Reset time ticked, yet the text says to also make sure Auto-reboot is ticked.

7) Start flashing

8) update superSU, install busybox, install root checker. Done.

I have some questions:

1) Is this still valid for my current device and build?

Model: SM-T800 (Canada)

Android: 5.0.2

Build: LRX22G.T800XXU1BOJ1

Kernel: 3.4.39-5941801

2) do I need to "unlock" the bootloader or is this done when flashing through Odin?

3) Apparently the CF-auto-root/TWRP .tar i am flashing has an out of date TWRP, how would I go about updating this or is it even worth it?

4) Should I wipe/factory reset my tablet first?

5) would it be easier to just use the vanilla CF-Auto-Root and then install TWRP using TWRP-manager from the play store?

6) apparently the device will try and reinstall the default bootloader if you have auto reboot checked in odin, does this mean I should be UNCHECKING auto-reboot and trying to enter recovery mode on first reboot? (power, home, volup buttons)

7) any other limitations or prerequisites I should check before proceeding?

[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Cf-autoroot won't work. Use twrp and flash supersu. Simple.

What's the aversion to using a custom recovery. What do you think cf-autoroot is?
[Galaxy Tab S General] pastroccetto:
My solution

I have solved in this way:

flashed via ODIN rom stock lollipop

flashed via ODIN latest CF-Auto-Root

installed flash fire

via flash fire installed latest SuperSU zip and flashed rom stock Android 6.0.1

I hope to be of assistance

[Galaxy Tab S General] david62277:
I used Odin to update to Marshmallow, and lost root. I read here that people were having success flashing TWRP (twrp_3.0.2-1_sm-t800) and then installing supersu.zip. I tried that... TWRP installed fine, I then booted into it and tried to install the supersu.zip file (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip), and after rebooting the SAMSUNG logo just flashed over and over and over again forever. I just re-flashed the stock rom, and it is in the optimizing app phase right now. Did I do something wrong?

Edit: read pastroccetto's post and realized I had the wrong version of supersu... all good now.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jfmessier:
Can you tell us which version of SuperSu you used, and perhaps a URL to get to it without hitting malware ? Or is it SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1 as mentioned previously in this chain ? Thanks :)

May I ask which version of TWRP and ODIN did you use?

While it says PASS in ODIN, but I can't enter TWRP, it always gives me the official recovery menu.

Edit: NVM, I just need to boot to recovery immediately after flashing
[Galaxy Tab S General] j1gga84:
I see that it already runs for you ;)

anyway, I use this recovery since I got my Tab S and it is much better than stock TWRP:

Hi

First time Samsung owner. So I assume my T800 Wi-Fi US version has Knox? Will rooting really void warranty? They will check?

People have actually gotten warranty denied because they rooted? I'm talking rooting to get su, not even flashing custom Rom.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
It will trip knox and void warrenty. From what I heard samsung has some sort of root checker or something see that you voided warrenty. People has gotten denied hardware repairs because of rooting in which the hardware problems happened right out if the box. If you want to save battery I would suggest changing launchers, disable system apps you dont use and use greenify to hibernate apps to save a ton of battery. Hope this helps! I am rooted and had no problems so far. Give it a month to see if there are any problems on ur tab s first.

I tried to use instruction for rooting my tablet (Galaxy Tab S SM-T705) with files that you provided here: androidxda.com slash root-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-lte-sm-t705

But it always failed.. Instead green button with word "PASS!", I always get red button with word "FAIL!"

I also tried to download more updated file from official site: autoroot dot chainfire dot eu

But it still failed... Maybe because it another build and not compatible with my tablet, the build on the site is: T705XXU1ANF8 and I can't find right file via Build ID for my tab.

May I ask which TWRP you used to flash by Odin, which worked for you? - or doesn't it need to be a special one?

BTW I have t700 stock MM 6.0.1 w/o root.

Edit : used newest ashyx twrp applied by odin and worked. Flashed chainfires SU 2.78 mentioned before and worked. Root granted.
