do wipe of the phone.

Than switch on the phone and wifi too.

So You have to follow the activation of the phone by wifi and not by 3g or 4g data.

Try and let me know.

Why root wifi only device?

I have rooted a couple of devices. I get it's purpose of unlocking hotspot, modifying cpu clock, adblocking, etc. I have the Tab S 10.5 and I am trying to find the benefit to rooting this device. Looks simple enough. But What will I gain? I think I have already answered my question though, maybe. I am rooting my note 3 so I can use that for a hotspot for this. But it seems the only real benefit is adblocking? Am I missing something. It has been a while since I have done this so maybe I have...

Anyways, thanks for the input.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
The way to look at is that rooting gives YOU control over your device not the manufacturer. Think of it as like administration rights on a PC.

Would you like it if pc manufacturers told you what you could and couldn't install on your pc?

Rooting allows you to install custom recoveries so you can back up your device, fix problems, try new custom or stock software, install root only apps such as titanium backup. You can modify system files and add back functionality that the manufacturer has decided to remove or disable. Add new functionality, maybe something that is found on another device. Speed up your device by overclocking to make it run smoother.

Change how things look and install apps such as xposed which reveals a ton of hidden features allowing you to customize your device to your liking.

Once you realise what root can do you'll never want a another device that isn't.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blythlad:
Sorry, I read that bit,downloaded odin as well, however, I recall reading something somewhere about needing a .tar file? Maybe some full instructions would be nice for us new to rooting a device. Thanks for the reply:o
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
The tar file is the file you have downloaded.

Just leave it as it is and flash with Odin.

I shouldn't have to provide step by step instructions, this is what XDA search and Google is for. This info is everywhere.

Basically:

Install Samsung usb drivers.

Disable Samsung kies if installed.

Boot your device into download mode - Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME.

Run ODIN , connect USB cable, look for 'added' message.

Load the tar file into the AP slot, click START.

Wait for flash to complete, device will reboot and root.

Enjoy your rooted device with custom recovery.

Cannot complete root on T-800 (Lollipop 5.0.2)

I've tried rooting twice on my T-800 running 5.0.2. In both cases ODIN says passed. However, I do not see either supersu or TWRP. When I ran root validator I got the following:

Root Unavailable

su/id/echo did not execute

I had installed the supersu app manually, but even that says the binaries are not installed.

However, Knox says it has been tripped. (using Knox Status app). So looks like I have the worst of both worlds here (well, other than bricking). Is there anything I can do different? Thanks,

Thank you for the reply. I had read that, but did not understand how it applied to me, root works now.

For anyone else in my shoes, here's what I did:

1) unchecked auto reboot

2) Once I got the Pass! message in Odin rebooted using Power+VDOWN+HOME

3) Kept pressing Power+VUP+HOME till it rebooted, at which point it says installing TWRP

4) Kept pressing Power+VUP+Home till it restarted again, and this time it goes to TWRP

5) In TWRP, I said reboot to recovery, it then asked to install SuperSU and root.

I have an apology to make. Your troubles seemed to have been due to the SuperSu script not running because it had become corrupt. I realised something was wrong when you said you had to install SuperSu with TWRP. :o

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterGunz:
I upgraded my firmware to Lolipop today, so I have to re-root my device.

After I setup the device, I rebooted into download mode and ran odin, selected the cf-autoroot tar, connected the tablet and clicked start. Odin is now hung-up on cache.img. It's just been sitting there for about 10 minutes.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm a little nervous to unplug Odin in the middle of something. Can I unplug it, restart my tablet and Odin and try again?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Update: I disconnected the tablet and closed Odin with no problems. However, I tried the process several more times and it still won't complete. I've used Odin for years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

This worked for me. But since I rooted I cannot get Zedge to download anything. I am in the USA and it was working before root. I did install and run this, SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD. It let me download using ttorrent and save to sd card. Could it be the root and/or the SD card fix not letting Zedge work? I have tried uninstalling it. Running from phone storage and sd card storage. I have googled, any help would be nice.

Which model tab do you have? Can you post a screenshot of the issue?

You can also root using the link for twrp below.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/twrp-2-8-6-1-unofficial-sm-t800-805-807-t3074633

Once you have twrp installed simply boot into it and then select reboot from the options. You should be offered to root.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deesto-xda:
That was the key for me too: just rebooting to system will revert the root process; you must boot into recovery after rooting and then reboot from there to trigger a permanent root.

ID:Com box DOES NOT turn blue in Odin

I'm a newbie on Android and Samsung, ID:Com box DOES NOT turn blue in Odin. Any ideas?

Using:

- SM-T800, Android 5.0.2

- original stock cable out of the box

- Windows 7

- Kies works fine

I've tried:

- reinstalling the Samsung USB drivers

- disabling the Antivirus

- various USB ports

FYI, if I plug-in the device when it's booted up, Odin recognizes and ID:Com box turns blue. It just doesn't do the same in 'download mode'. Any ideas? Also, what option should I select in 'download mode'? I tried the second option by using volume-up key followed by power.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Disable Samsung kies, it doesn't like Odin.

Put into download mode first, run Odin, then attach usb cable. You should see 'added' message.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuttul:
How? Is there a Windows service I need to disable (ie. Samsung Connectivity)?

I made sure Kies wasn't running at the time.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Are you actually going into download mode by pushing the up button?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuttul:
Yes.

First option in the menu is 'reboot'. I press the vol-up to highlight the second option (apply update from ADB), then press power button to select it. It takes me to the next screen which says "Now send the package you want to apply ..". I then plugin the cable and nothing happens.

I've also tried without pressing the power button to select, ie. just pressing the vol-up button to highlight the second option from the download mode menu, same result.

Thank you so much for your patience with me.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuttul:
Some more information -

I've tried a new PC, with fresh drivers. As soon as I select the ADB option from the download mode menu, Windows recognizes the device and installs ADB drivers but no changes on Odin - never recognizes the device as if it's not plugged in.

If it's of any use, here's some device info:

Model: SM-T800

Android: 5.0.2

Build: LRX22G.T800XXU1BOE2

Odin: v3.07, also tried v3.10.6

I have 'devleoper options' available but currently disabled. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That sounds like you are in stock recovery, not download mode. I had the same mistake. I pressed the wrong volume button and got into recovery. Try pressing the other volume button with power to get into download mode. It should not say reboot as first item, it should say press power up to continue.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
As said above you are in recovery mode not download mode.

Download mode is POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME.

Hold all 3 until you see download mode.

I've been using vol-UP all along think it's vol-down. Thanks to leapinlar for the explanation and suggestion which did the trick for me (I wouldn't have thought about the other side of the vol otherwise).

Does CF-Autoroot survive OTA updates?

If not, can I just re-root it after an OTA update since the process is so quick and easy? What happens to Android/obb and /data mounts that I move to SD card, will they stay mounted (and work) fine? It'll be a nightmare if I have remount and either reinstall or copy data back.

What's the preferred method to unroot a CF-Autoroot (stock recovery)? I tried SuperSU method which completed successfully but after reboot update checker still thinks it's rooted although root checker says it's not rooted. I needed to put the stock firmware back through Kies for OTA to work again.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
What's this big deal with ota all the time? I never update via ota as its a painfully slow cumbersome process.

Download the update from sammobile or Samsung Updates and flash with Odin. At least then you'll have it as a backup.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuttul:
Oh, nothing, don't know enough to like or dislike it. Learning (thanks to

you

and XDA). In my post above, though, I was referring to OTA because that was what reporting that the device is still "rooted" or modified.

I know this sounds very stupid but, what's the country/region code for U.S. at sammobile/SamsungUpdates?

Is this for non-rooted devices? Could I not accomplish the same through Kies? I'd think flushing with TWRP/CWM would be preferred for rooted devices.

Would I need to restore Apps and other data from backup if I use your method and avoid OTA?

Thanks for all you do.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Country code for U.S is cellular South (xar). Make an account at sammobile and download the firmware. Way better speeds than Samsung updates :)

Rooted or not rooted it doesn't matter with Odin. This is Samsung's official flashing tool.
