Has anyone tried this root on the Sprint variant sm-t807p? Bought this tablet thinking there was gonna be development for it and come to find out there is none at all except for the WiFi only version which really sucks . and I bought it pretty much for WiFi so if this breaks LTE it wouldn't matter at all cuz my phone tethers to my tablet so there is no worries . thanks
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Sprint is snapdragon right? If so then it wont work for that. Only deisgned for exynos. Also believe there was a guy who tried with the snapdragon variant and ended up basically bricking his tablet because there was no firmware available to reflash and get him out of bootloop.

Unfortunately I haven't seen one rom or root or anything for snapdragon. Sorry man :(
[Galaxy Tab S General] holt3113:
hey, quick question what cf auto did you use? [T-700][T-705][T-800][T805]

thanks
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
I used the 805 version. Figured since I'm LTE it would be the closest match. I can't speak for anything other then the T Mobile LTE 10.5 Tab S. So if you have that one then definitely go for the 805 and you won't have any issues. Good luck man.
[Galaxy Tab S General] holt3113:
tried it... and it worked. thanks for the help man
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Np man anytime! Enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
I finally got around to trying it and for some reason it does not work. When I try to flash the tar.md5 805 file in Odin it fails at about 33%
[Galaxy Tab S General] RelayTech:
Nice to know that there is a root option avail for us.

Is it correct that the T805 roms (which dont include the modem) will not work on the T807? There isn't a carrier specific sub-forum for this tablet is there? I could not find one.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Go to this site and download the firmware. Pick the top version as it's the newest. Flash it with Odin. Then try to root again. Only thing I can think of bro. The site is a bit of a pain with the pop ups and all that crap but you'll get there.

When you get to the page after clicking the firmware link you want, you need to wait like ten seconds. You'll see a timer at the bottom. When it's done, download links will pop up. Use the green download icons. Can't miss them. Goodluck man.

[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
I updated to this firmware already via OTA, I'll try manually too. Thanks for the idea.

Theres another member in the Chainfire root thread with an 807T who also cannot root using these methods so perhaps not all Tabs work. /shrug

I really hope someone can find root from ground up, or at very least post guide to how to DIY.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Is there? That's really weird. I don't see why some would work and some not. We're all running the exact same firmware. Same model, chip, etc.

But yes we do need a proper root. Unfortunately doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon. Definitely not getting any roms that's for sure. Although Blisspops new lollipop rom does work for this tab, just can't use LTE. So does TWRP. Have tried both, still running TWRP. Only reason I came back to Touchwiz was because I like multi windows and was able to get quad windows (someone transferred the note tablet quad window file to the tab s) and using MW Apps Manager every app has support to be used in the quad window. Granted running 4 windows does eat battery life but I still enjoy it.

I'd try to get chainfire the file needed to make a root compatible with our version. Not sure what is needed though. Would like to get a proper root for the other SM_807t users that this doesn't work for.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
What you need to get root is a stock recovery img and something else i think. Then we need someone to port it over.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Well if you can tell me how to get the recovery img I'll try and do it tonight after work. If you know how that is. :p
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
The T-Mobile has exynos right? Someone sent me a link to a firmware for the tmobile. I can try to extract whats needed and send it to chainfire or beanstown so they can port.

If only there was a guide to port cfautoroot.... Would have made things easier lol
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Yes sir. I have the firmware. I'm going to play around with it after work tonight. See if I can figure this out.
[Galaxy Tab S General] potatomanwrl:
I have the 707A variant, and if there's anything I can do to help get root for my variant as well, I'd gladly do it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] dlee064:
Hi Ripx88, can you go to android terminal (adb) and see what it says in the home directory ? does it says 'chagallltexx' ?

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&..._galaxy_tab_s_10.5-inch_lte-a_samsung_chagall

I have the newer 5433-based one and I'm wondering if the CF-auto-root works based on SoCs ?

many thanks:)
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
I checked with CPU-Z that my CPU is 5420 and yes the 805 autoroots do not work for my SM-T807T (chagallltetmo)
[Galaxy Tab S General] dlee064:
What do you mean by '805 autoroots do not work for your SM-T807T)?

Sorry I'm lost, you said you tried SM-T805 from CF-Auto-Root and rooted.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I take it you downloaded and updated Super su after flashing the root zip? If not you wont get full root.

Another member with the same tablet also said that root didnt work, until i mentioned this. Now he has root.
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
I did not say it was rooted. You're confusing something.

You didn't read the thread. the root zip fails to flash.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I found a firmware for the SMT807T. Hopefully the download doesnt fail for me as rapidgator is capping the download speed. Hopefully you guys can get a port soon.

But I have a few questions... Is your bootloaders unlocked for Tmobile? Also, is the Tmobile tab s Snapdragon or exynos.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
i see i just looked back. Looks like the recovery image wont flash, locked bootloader maybe?
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
T-mobile does not lock bootloaders, this would be a first (to my knowledge) if it were to be locked. I have been with T-mo for years and have rooted about a dozen Samsung Galaxy devices from T-mo.

The 807T uses the same exynos 5420 CPU as the rest.

Wish I could do more to aid development
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
So are you able to flash TWRP via ODIN?
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
I have not tried to, and would rather not as I'm afraid of bricking it since there is no TWRP for 807x yet. I only tried the autoroot from chainfire because of this thread and scattered reports that the 805 autoroot works on 807T
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Well as far as im aware someone has already successfully flashed twrp to the t807.

Dont see why it would brick it, as long as you can get into download mode just flash stock back if it doesnt work. Its only the same thing cf auto root does. It has to flash a custom recovery to root. Youve already stated your bootloader is unlocked, so i dont see the problem.
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
Hmm perhaps. I don't have the stock file to flash it back with if it screws up though.

Who flashed TWRP on their 807T?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
you can pull it from the stock rom. I should imagine the stock recovery for the 800, 805, 807 is the same any way.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Download for T807T done. Started downloading at 12:08PM and now its 10:07PM. Thats how slow rapidgator and my internet is. Will upload to a mirror tommorw if I have time.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I have now uploaded the file to mega which is has fast download and upload speeds with no caps.

But I need help from you guys. I need someone to pull the recovery and boot.img from this file. If someone can do that then we could probably send it in to someone to port cfautoroot to.

Here is the download link to the T807T firmware: https://mega.co.nz/#!ylYEBA4D!yWUPtuT60dLCIy_zCN_rqnN2L319oZYSCSFtOC_Pv6Q

This took me 14 hours to download from rapidgator and upload to Mega. Hopefully this can help you guys get root.
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
I would love to see root for our device! Hopefully someone out there can pull those files and we can get it done....
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Ill try and send the firmware to beanstown. Im pretty sure he just needs the firmware and a tester. Hopefully he can port cfautoroot over. Ill send him a pm in a few hours. :D Ill report back on if he sends me a pm weather he can or not.
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
You are a lifesaver thank you so much!?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
TWRP works flawlessly on 807t. Just a heads up for anyone who is curious. Blisspop 5.0 rom, skyhigh kernel and Ironman rom have all been tested and ran as daily drivers as well :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
Thank you very much for sharing. Which root method are you using if I may ask?
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
Hope we get some good news soon, a little afraid to attempt rooting with something not specifically meant for our device...
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
So far no response yet :/ Patiently waiting...
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Have you made a nandriod backup in twrp yet? My thinking is to use the rooted nandriod imgs and convert them to a tar since you own the T807T and have root on it. Then someone can flash that tar with odin and gain root. One possible method but im unsure it will work but i have seen prerooted firmwares so... Yeah. Also what build/ kernel version are you on?

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

BTW, cfautoroot may work on some builds. The guy who tested cfautoroot on his T807T might have an older/newer firmware. It happens sometimes with rooting with cfautoroot on newer builds. Thats the only reason I can think of since you both have the same chipset.
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
Crossing my fingers for good news soon ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Also android version is actually 4.4.2 Edited my build.prop to 5.0 along with running YourTube exposed module allows me to stream 1080 and 1440p in youtube. Otherwise I seem to run into issues there. Firmware is the newest available version for as I know. Haven't checked in a good month.

I have not made a nandroid backup yet however if it will be used to help others get root I will gladly do it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Honestly, I dont see why cfautoroot wont work for some T807T devices. I believe as long you are running that build you should be fine since cfautoroot has a modified recovery and cache.

I was thinking of using Ripxs imgs to then convert them into a tar to people can flash with odin, so basically like a prerooted firmware. But I have trouble finding a way to pull his system.Img, cache.img, boot.img etc. If you know how to pull those files.. It would help!

If only there was a guide to port cfautoroot...
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
I wish I knew how...unfortunately that's a bit beyond me. Too bad we can't recruit some more help.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Good news :D I know how to dump the imgs. Rip is gonna have to follow my instructions and Im not sure if he needs a pc or not. I had to find the mounting points of the images and do some commands. Hopefully I can remember the instructions. Ill explain a how to tommrow after I finish school. Hopefully this will work as he has the rooted images. Im planning to make an odin flashable so whatever he has on his device(root) to flash on your devices. Hopefully I can figure out to convert it into tar.

Edit: using mobile terminal seems to work. :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Give me a rundown and I will take care of it. Going to make a nandroid backup after work tomorrow. I do have a computer as well and am pretty knowledgeable in this area so I'm sure we can make it happen :)

Sure I can figure out how to pull those files as well, after work tomorrow I will get started.
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
Great news!? Thank you so much for trying to make this happen both of you.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Yes make a nandroid first :) Im going to make a flashable zip of your imgs to test if root is in those imgs. If they work for you then ill convert it into a tar and then people can test it and flash with odin.

To dump your imgs I need to confirm that your mounting points are the same. Just use root explorer from this link http://m.apkhere.com/down/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer_3.3.3_paid root explorer is the only one you can use because it tells you your mounting points. Now, go into your root folder (also known as / ). Now go into the dev folder, then go into the block folder, after that go into the boot device folder, finally click the by name folder. Once your in the by name folder send me a screenshot of all the files. Once I have those screenshots, I can give you the dump commands.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Btw this will trip knox. If his dumped system img doesnt work then ill have to use the stock firmware and add root to it. Hopefully the dumped system img has the root binaries
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Ok I was able to get the nandroid backup made. I apologize it's taking so long. Work has me doing a lot of OT going into the weekend. Tomorrow is Saturday so I should be off work by like 6 7 pm. I already use root explorer so I'll get in there and get you a screenshot tomorrow. Will be on the look out for your reply after that as well. Really sorry about the wait!

Update:

Ok it's late but I wanted to get this taken care of, I know others are waiting. I went to root(/), dev, block, platform, dw_mmc.0, by name. There is also a dw_mmc.2 however that only has the "by number" folder. Should be in the correct spot. Here are the two screen shots for what is in that folder.

Should be the correct area. Doesn't appear to be anything else that we would need. Let me know, this site is linked to my phone and tablet so when I see you respond I'll try to get back to you ASAP.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Thanks so much! That's it! Its ok about being late from your work. My dad works from 9:30 am to 8:38 almost 9 pm. So Im used to waiting.

Any way now for the commands.

To pull system.img you can do this via mobile terminal via the playstore. So adb shell might not work. Just type this commands in :)

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/system.img

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

Pulling kernel.

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/boot.img

This should take about 5 minutes to dump. Wait till it saids bla bla bla bytes transferred in something seconds.

After that it should be on your internal sd card/storage. (/sdcard)

Now just upload the system.img and boot.img to google drive or mega. The file is in /sdcard. The system. Img may take a while to upload as its a large file.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Files are being dumped to sdcard(internal) as we speak. Will update this post after they have been uploaded with links.

Update:

Boot.img has been uploaded to my mega cloud drive. System.img is in the process. Both files are the size I expected. Boot.img (10 MB) System.img (3.5 GB) System.img will take a hour or more to upload. Will provide links to both when finished.

Update #2:

https://mega.co.nz/#!9UMigCbQ!rCZLroRoNLltwEpQc1qmCUJPK19nug2bmNUi8QgY1mA (System.img 3.55GB)

https://mega.co.nz/#!RYkDVQzS!ZbQSHFkgBKWBTHlolxLQhbJsKOXFHlnx_MueMUP7vRA (Boot.img 10MB)

All yours brotha, let me know if anything else is needed.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Thank you! Ill be on fast internet tommrow. Hopefully I can tar everything up for to flash with odin.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Uploading now... Standby. Im going to need a tester btw. I cant guarantee success in root or if anything happens to your tablet. TESTERS NEEDED!!

Update:

https://mega.co.nz/#!G44j1LJS!0WsBjbJR6f4KwbpOsQp1M-jfxlrK3K6z-v1Mu9ZYj-Y

How to install. Test are your risk! I am not responsible for any damages or loss of data to your tablet. This is for testers only!

1. Download from link

2. Extract it from zip and place the tar.md5 on your desktop

3. Open odin and hit pda or ap

4. Pick the prerooted file you extracted

5. Put tablet in download mode and connect it to your pc!

6. Odin should say added and now hit start and let it do its thing

Please report bugs/problems or if it doesnt work!
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
I'll test and report back once I can actually sit down with my computer

?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Of anything goes wrong, I have a stock firmware uploaded already ;)

[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
Much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
Unfortunately it failed for me?I was very thankful for that stock firmware, thanks for that.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Dang. Ill have to look at cfautoroot then or... Send the firmware to beanstown over twitter. He seems active there

That method I used might be outdated. Someone in the tab 4 forums had the same problem.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Did it get stuck at the bootlogo or didnt flash in odin?
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
It didn't flash in Odin. I got the crappy red fail button. ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Well I guess your good to go with flash cfautoroot. The firmware saved you so you should be good since I have it uploaded. Should brick anything but recovery. I could make a file to flash back stock recovery for the T807T since cfautoroot flashes back T805 recovery. So you should be good to go with cfautoroot. I tryed :/

If I get a response from beanstown, Ill let you know :) Which is recommended
[Galaxy Tab S General] AndroidGirl22:
I really appreciate it thank you?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Well you tried man. That's all that counts.. We all appreciate your effort. It's very odd that cfautoroot works for some of us and not the others. I can't think of a logical reason why that is
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
What version/update are you on? Seems to me that cfautoroot will work with ANK1 firmware.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Are you on the same firmware ANK1 also?

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Thanks! Oh and have you tried philz cwm recovery by ykk? As well for anything else. I just pmed him and he said if the chipset is the same, they should work as he made both for T800 and T805. Would like to know :D Then I can probably make a custom rom or some sort :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
I haven't tried Philz recovery. I always run twrp. But I'm off today so I'll give it a shot today and report back. I've tried like every rom on here. Have yet to have any issues with anything made for the the 800 or 805. Blisspop runs beautifully. Is my go to. Skyhigh kernel works as well. When I get back from this doctors appointment I'm going to now I'll try that recovery and let you know. I'm imagining it will work since I've yet to encounter any major problems. Will let ya know.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Thank you! Its more based on stock. So my guessing it should work with people having cfautoroot problems. Of course you can always revert back to twrp :) Much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I doubt the recovery is going to affect the rooting process seeing as cf auto root installs it's own recovery and then flashes a stock recovery back.

In fact I'm surprised people are having issues at all, considering there can't really be any reason why the existing root method isn't working. Maybe installing a pre-rooted room is an option for those with issues?

I'm on T807TUVU1ANK1,

Kernal Version 3.4.39-2948600 (Wed Nov 12 08:04:19 KST 2014)

Build number KOT49H.T807TUVU1ANK1

SE for Android status: enforcing SEPF_SM-T807T_4.4.2_0031

i tried flashing many times with many wires on two computers. I guess I can try again but at this point I feel like I'm SOL.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I tried building that. Rip dumped his his img and stuff and I made a odin flashable. Didnt work. Cfautoroot flashes a custom recovery along with cache. Img. Installing cwm philz recovery would just flash the recovery. Hopeing it will work
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ripx88:
Flashed CWM Philz Recovery via zip file in TWRP. Works totally fine. Running it now.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Thanks for testing! Someone who wants to root.. Try cwm philz if cfautoroot doesnt work.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
There's an alternative method to get root if you can flash TWRP. This works on my T805.

First these files are needed:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.rootvalidator&hl=en

http://res.kingroot.net/msoft/webap...C64_B142_office_release_2015_01_04_105003.apk

1. FIRST INSTALL TWRP

2. BOOT INTO TWRP

3. SELECT REBOOT TO SYSTEM IN TWRP. THIS SHOULD BRING UP A MESSAGE THAT THE DEVICE IS NOT ROOTED. SWIPE TO ROOT. IF YOU DON'T SEE THIS MESSAGE THEN IT'S POSSIBLE THE ROOT FILES HAVE ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED.

4. LET THE DEVICE BOOT AND IGNORE THE PROMPT TO INSTALL SUPERUSER WHEN IT POPS UP IN THE NOTIFICATION AREA.

INSTALL ROOT VALIDATOR FROM THE LINK ABOVE. RUN IT AND CHECK THE ROOT STATUS. IF YOU SEE THE SAME AS THE IMAGE BELOW YOU ARE ALMOST FULLY ROOTED.

IF YOU SEE ALL RED THEN THE TWRP ROOT FILES HAVEN'T INSTALLED.

5. NOW INSTALL KINGUSER FROM THE LINK ABOVE THEN RUN IT. LET IT INSTALL THEN JUST WAIT UNTIL A COUPLE OF MESSAGES POP UP. IGNORE THE ONE ABOUT KNOX, JUST UNCHECK THE BOX THEN CANCEL.

ANOTHER BOX SHOULD POP UP ASKING IF YOU WANT TO 'REPAIR ROOT'. SELECT OK AND LET IT DO ITS THING.

DON'T WORRY IF IT SAYS FAILED.

6. REBOOT THE DEVICE THEN WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER. YOU MAY SEE SOME POP UPS FOR APPS THAT WANT ROOT ACCESS IF YOU HAVE ANY INSTALLED. THIS MEANS YOU NOW HAVE ROOT.

TO CHECK RUN 'ROOT VALIDATOR' AGAIN AND YOU SHOULD SEE ALL GREEN LIKE BELOW.

IF SO, YOU NOW HAVE ROOT WITH THE KINGUSER APP MANAGING ROOT PERMISSIONS. :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Or... You can just install twrp, download supersu.zip, and flash it in twrp. Same goes for philz. T807T owners were scared about using twrp and all that. I tried to approach rooting the tablet a safer way. But stuff didnt work.

But now since we know that the firmware I uploaded works, people can try twrp or philz. I recommend to flash philz since people just want root/just get root and have a close to stock recovery and to be safe since its close to stock. Twrp is the I use. Anyway I might make a base custom zip rom so developers can use to make roms.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
That method to install supersu.zip didnt work for me, supersu is unable to update su.

As for twrp it can be removed and stock recovery flashed.

Where was it confirmed that the firmware you uploaded works? All I read is that philz recovery worked thats all or are you referring to the stock images?
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I meant stock firmware sorry. It can be used if people get into bootloops :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Ok I see.

What's needed is a proper stock backup thread which

contains uploads and links to various stock firmwares, Roms, recoveries and ota's etc all in one thread like we have in the HTC forum.
[Galaxy Tab S General] postulio:
Tried to flash Philz' and am getting the same problem, basically Odin says FAIL! and cannot flash the file.
