[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] blood_talon:
When I try to install busybox, it will show a message saying it failed to get a shell with root access.

With root explorer, it shows a warning message saying "this feature is for rooted device only" when I try to set /system to R+W for ex.

In all cases, I dont get the pop up message prompting me to grant root access to an app. In supersu logs, i can see entries saying "SuperSu pro is required for this feature".

Is there a way to get some more details logs (ie syslog) without being root, like running a terminal?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
I would try unrooting by selecting full unroot from super user settings then try the root process again. If you still don't get root access it could be a Rom problem or Something is blocking the superuser app.

Have you tried granting permissions automatically in the superuser app?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] blood_talon:
thanks for the suggestion! when I change default access to grant instead of prompt in supersu, I manage to get root access in the apps.

So it seems to be an issue with the prompt mode of supersu. I did uninstall supersu several times already. It may be an issue with the ROM. At least I have a way for now to give root permission even though it brings up security concerns. In any case, thanks for helping out!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Tinchoska:
guys, this will work on lp, right? its same way than kk? i mean, flashing this over odin like always
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
See first post.;)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
No worries, does seem like a Rom issue or another app. Are you able to get any other pop up boxes, could be a problem with the framework? Which Rom are you using?

You could always try an alternative super su app such as chanins dd or clockwork mod from play.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] bloodrain954:
Hmm, I can't seem to flash it. Keeps stopping at cache.img

I've tried new cables, ports, ect.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Go into recovery and wipe/repair the cache partition.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] bloodrain954:
Will give it a shot, thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] bloodrain954:
Nope, no luck. Still just hangs on cache.img
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
It worked originally yes, but not now?

Seems this Rom has affected something. Can you post a screen shot of the issue.

Also which Rom are you using?

As a work around you can root using my build of Twrp in this forum.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] bloodrain954:
The version from the original post was what I was using. I also tried another root method in another thread with no luck. I eventually went to Chainfires site, downloadedthe Auto-root version and it worked. Then installed TWRP. I was on a stock 5.0.2. I was previously rooted. No idea what exactly made the difference. I've formatted the cache countless times. Tried new cables. Ports. Versions of Odin. Everything it seems. Oh well, problem magically fixed.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Yanosh94:
I have the same problem , i make no attention but the file i try to flash have only a 10MB instead of 23MB but i have still a question , which version do you download on the chainfire website ?

There is only a version for 4.4.2 and my tablet are on 5.0.2

And how can you quick restard the tablet ? the mine are blocked in download mode still the battery drain and won't respond to power off button.

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Hold POWER + VOL DOWN.

What do you mean the file is only 10mb?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] bloodrain954:
the file I used was called "CF-Auto-Root-chagallwifi-chagallwifixx-smt800.tar"

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] newskin:
First off, a big thanks to ashyx for posting this. I have run into a problem and am not sure how to resolve it. Any help appreciated. I own a t700 and have used Odin to run this file as stated in the directions. After reaching android and installing apps. I install root checker and it states that i am not rooted. Not sure where it went wrong, any help appreciated. Thanks again to OP and all others on this forum.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi - I wanted to check to see if I just made a big mistake.

I just got a new SM-T800, and started it up. The tablet immediately told me that there were updates available. I installed the updates, and I was surprised to see that I was upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.2 (Build Number LRX22G.T800XXU1BOE2, dated 2015-MAY-12). I thought the SM-T800 was still on KitKat.

Did I just ruin all my chances of rooting & installing a custom Recovery Mode?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
You need to immediately boot into recovery after flashing root.

You will then see the root process.

Do it again this time uncheck auto reboot in Odin and boot into recovery manually.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Please read the first post.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks, [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION]! It worked perfectly with the newest LRX22G.T800XXU1BOE2 build.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] newskin:
Thank you for your repsonse ashyx, but even after doing as your response stated, I unchecked auto reboot and manually rebooted into recovery and I did infact see the red android and script saying that root process has begun, I let it finish. It then became stuck on samsung galaxy tab s t700 screen for about ten minutes, I then manually rebooted back into recovery, flashed cm12 5.1.1 zip and wiped dalvick cache, then flashed gapps zip then wiped cache. I then setup android again and installed a few apps, including root checker which unfortunately once again told me that "root has not been installed properly on this device". Not sure where i'm going wrong still. Thank you for your response again and I await any other further instructions you may have.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
If you flashed a Rom after rooting then you have wiped root unless the custom Rom has it built in.

My advice is to boot into twrp then install this zip. http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] newskin:
Thanks again for your advice. I figured it had to do with the ROM notbeing compatible in someway and its like you say, no root. I have flashed the supersu zip and regained root again. Very appreciated ashyx, thank you again.

Stuck in Odin mode

Trying to do my first root on T800 today. I got to Odin mode with the green Android and saying, Downloading... Do not turn off target. I was having a problem getting Odin 3.10.6 to open its UI on my win 7 machine so I thought I would just shut down the tablet until I find the problem with Odin, still don't know. I tried holding power+home+volume up for a long time, 30 seconds but nothing happened same with just holding down the power button. For my first time this is a scary situation. Please help as soon as possible.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Hold all the buttons. Hold power+volume up+volume down+ home all at the same time and it should force reboot
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] lartomar2002:
That worked thanks, check your thanks count. Now, can you tell me why the Odin UI will not open on my pc?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Did you open as administrator? Or does it crash when opening it? I use Odin 3.09 on windows 7 and never had a problem.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] lartomar2002:
There is just a quick flash then nothing and I do use admin mode.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
So odin doesnt open at all? Do you have any of these files on your desktop?

I need some more help. After getting root and flashing TWRP 2.8.0.6 using TWRP Manager, I installed Closed 3.0 alpha installer using the apk from here: http://www.gammerson.com/2015/03/apkdownload-xposed-framework-30-for.html. I then flashed the required zip file from the same site. After rebooting using TWRP I am stuck at the blue Samsung boot screen. It has been stuck there for the past 6 hours and starting to get a little warm. I have tried holding the power+volume button to shut it down but only takes me to the page showing the large grey the green charging battery. Will I have to wait until the battery goes dead then plugging it in and powering it up again?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
First can I ask why you installed twrp 2.8.6.0 with twrp manager when you already had twrp 2.8.6.2 installed?

For the rest of your answer I will refer to your other thread.

Hi,

first of all, thanks ashyx for your great work!

I have a T800 and i would like to have root access. So i will flash the file for T800 with odin from the first post.

After that i have root and a custom recovery.

Is there any think else to do? I read about knox?

It would be great if someone can help me with this.

Greeting
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
If you install a custom recovery you will trip knox and possibly void warranty.

If you don't want to trip Knox see my rooting guide in the general section.

Is this issue supposed to now be resolved?

I have installed your latest version (2.8.6.2) to my S 705 but am experiencing the same problem:

TWRP Recovery will not mount my 16Gb sdcard (fat or extfat).

However, I was able to perform a backup to the card from the TWRP app and the card is recognisable and accessible from anywhere else.

TIA

Sorry, ive been a bit lazy and haven't uploaded the fixed versions yet. I will upload them soon. However here is the fixed version for the t700. This will work fine for your t705 until I upload the new builds.

i did this i KK but there it was just a bat script :) as i only need root and not necessarily TWRP
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
I have absolutely no idea what you are attempting to do but you need to flash with Odin in download mode.

Unfortunately, this version did not fix my problem.

Still cannot mount the card.

If relevant, the card is formatted fat32.

I will try it again........

It seems to be the actual card itself that TWRP Recovery does not like.

It is a SanDisk Ultra 16Gb MicroSD HC

I tried a 4Gb Kingston Traveller and that is accepted immediately.

Now I need to work out if it is the actual card or the 16Gb or something else before splashing out on a larger capacity Traveller.

DO i use the CF Auto Root for T705 from this thread which has TWRP 2.8.62 or do I flash the TWRP 2.8.7.1 from the other thread?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] rookie12:
You can flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 from other thread
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] MCube74:
Thanks.

I already upgraded the firmware to 5.02 so just checking that TWRP 2.8.7.1 from the other thread will work fine with lollipop.

Also the file in the other thread is not cfautoroot. So I need to flash TWRP through Odin and then flash SU through TWRP?

This method will of course trip Knox as expected. Is there any way not to trip Knox when flashing TWRP? Just double checking.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] rookie12:
Yes you will have to flash the SU trough TWRP you will trip knox no matter what when you flash TWRP there is a way to keep knox but you will only have root no TWRP just follow the other thred that ashyx posted

My phone is rooted, but other than that it is all stock, I have tried using the SIM on a different phone and it works perfectly only in my nexus does it not work. My APN is set to the correct one and all of it is set to the right values. When I try to manually select my network provider as everyone has told me to when I select T-Mobile it will bring up a box that says "registering to t mobile".

Hello. I'm new to roms and flashing. I have an SM-T700 tablet. A while back, I wanted to root, so I went online and got Odin and the rooted stock rom and flashed it. All is well. Then I decided to get the Blisspop ROM. I read the directions wrong. I got TWRP and forgot to get the ROM downloaded. I never made a backup, which I now realize was idiotic to the power of a trillion. I erased EVERYTHING. I then clicked 'reboot' and:

A) Lost TWRP

B) Have no OS

C) Am stuck with the boot screen or the default recovery screen
