You can pull it from the stock rom, then when you're done upload it and post it in the link below, so others can use it as there are lots of people asking the same thing.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Here is one from this "T705XXU1BOD5_T705DBT1BOD1_DBT" but I am to stupid to attach it as is seems :confused:, so it is in my Dropbox for now.

@ ashyx

you mean the script from this thread here ?

And well, I amalso to stupid to flash Iron ROM 2.0. Flashfire offers me only the modem files to flash. What I am doing wrong?

Thx

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Yes that's the script.

Are you selecting the flash zip option in Flashfire?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Yes I do, I use the option "Flash ZIP or OTA". But like I said, only modem was offered me to flash. :(

The .zip-file without boot.img is not even listed in flashfire.

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
The flash zip option in flashfire doesn't give options for which partitions to flash as zips have their own installers.

Just flash as is.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Well, my problem is, that the ZIP-file itself is not listed, so I can´t chose it as source to flash.

So what I am doing wrong, that there is no ZIP displayed? I Have taken the IronRom v. 2.1 with replaced "android" folder.

Do I have to edit / modify anything else?

Thx

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
The zip must be in the wrong format.

To modify an installer zip you do not extract it then recompress it. You need to open the zip with 7zip then modify or delete the files within it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Alright, I tried to open the downloaded ZIP-file with 7zip and replaced the android folder without extracting / repacking it.

Unfortunately do I have the same result. When I chose "Flash System Image" I can select the ZIP-file, but not when i want to flash a ZIP or OTA.

No clue what I could have made wrong... :(

Edit: Flashfire tells me it will flash the boot.img after chosing "Flash firmware package".

I also have no other options to chose then.

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Ok, can you load the original untouched zip in flashfire?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
No, I just verified it. So maybe my installation of flashfire or the downloaded Zip are broken?

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I know this may be obvious but are you absolutely sure you are in the right folder?

If the zip is corrupt then id expect 7zip to complain. Try the test option in 7zip to see if it verifies ok.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
I downloaded all files new and then used the test option and 7zip says that the archives are all ok. Yes, I am sure to be in the right folder, I created a folder "Flashfire" and copied the fresh downloaded and checked files into it and well...now Flashfire found em. :D

No clue why they have not been found directly on my SD-card.

I guess I don´t have to check the "Auto.mount" option, right?

Thx

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
No, just flash.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Finally I did it! Thanks to ashyx! So now I am running IronRom 2.11 on my T705 without KNOX tripped. :)

Thanks again!

I have the SM-T800 on 5.0.2 BOE3. Does anyone have the link to the stock tar? I want to flash the stock firmware after rooting with this method.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
You can download it here or check other pages. But I would try it there, cause they are faster even for free users (around 150 to 200 KB).

[Galaxy Tab S General] micheal1981:

Hmm ok, then you can chose one here. Unfortunately this site is a little slower.

[Galaxy Tab S General] jollywhitefoot:
Thanks for the easy to follow and thorough instructions. I'm new to samsung but your post helped me get root on my new tablet.

Two follow-up questions, though.

1) I used Odin to flash the above bootloader, then I used Flashify to flash IronRom 2.3.5 but recovery still shows "XXU1ANF8" in the upper left. Is this the current bootloader version, or is it just residual from the old KitKat stock firmware I installed in step 1? The rom is running fine, but I just wanted to make sure I've got everything up to date.

2) Knox did not trip, so to get back to stock do I just use Odin to reflash a stock firmware? What I mean is, will this return the device to a state that will make it eligible for warranty claims?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
To your first question, it should be from the old firmware, cause afaik is IronRom v. 2.3.5 based on the BOE3, but others can for sure tell you more.

And the answer to the second question is yes, you can flash back stock firmware to claim warranty.

Bro, i highly recommend you read the op again. especially step 7.
[Galaxy Tab S General] dboppc130:
Worked perfectly on my SM-T705! Went from stock KitKat on a new tab and now I have rooted Lollipop with Knox=0. Had to study the guide and read through the posts a couple times to make sure I got it right. Worked great on the first try with some help from Yoko's posts. I used the Kingoroot method you posted elsewhere and then skipped to step 10 here.

Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy Tab S General] micheal1981:
Yes, I feel dumb now! I don't know how I misssed that.
[Galaxy Tab S General] micheal1981:
I'm wanting to root but keep a stock rom. I can't find the stock tar. After step 6, can I download the OTA to the tablet but not install it, flash it with Flashfire and keep root?
[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
Hello !

The first step (flash a stock firmware earlier then [...]) didn't work with my T805, so I got stuck on the Samsung's Logo. I guess there is something wrong with the bootloader (I was already on Lollipop but Kingroot didn't work), I'll try to flash another firmware tomorrow. Then I would like to power off my Tab S instead of seeing a Logo Samsung all the night, is it possible to turn off my Tab when I'm in the recovery or the download mode ?

I'm downloading T805XXU1BOCC_T805XEF1BOC1_XEF.zip on the sammobile website by the way. I hope it will work, I've not much time before leaving for a journey. :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] rookie12:
Can you download a firmware from sammobile and flash through flashfire?
[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
Oh this Sammobile is so slow... the downloaded failed while I was sleeping, I have to try it again for 2 hours... :/

Flashfire would need my Tab to boot correctly on Lollipop/KitKat, but I can't pass Samsung's Logo for now.

Edit : I'm on it. I tried again and did it. I will explain later for those who get the same problem.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mab71:
Guys... Is lollipop more preferred than kitkat?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Depends on what you want. On my Xperia Z i prefer Kitkat, on my SM-T705 Lollipop.

Both have advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you!

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] mab71:
Thanks Nick... Well I'm getting more than 9 hours of SOT on Kitkat now... That really makes me feel reluctant to move to lollipop. How's your battery life on lollipop?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
You are welcome. Well my battery life is ok. Depending on the usage like Wifi or LTE and the time the screen is on, I can use it up to 2 days without charging. But this depends also on the used ROM!

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
My bad.

Well, now I've succeded to boot on the good firmware (the one in the first page), I can install Kingroot and get the Kinguser. But in the terminal command, when I try "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh", it fails. But I can do it with : "sh /storage/extSdCard/mrw/root.sh", with something famous like :

"Failure

Failure

rm failed for /system/app/Kinguser.apk, No such file directory

[...]

/storage/extSdCard/mrw/root.sh[17]: cat: sdcard/mrw/busybox: No such file or directory

[...]"

It seems I can't find my "mrw" in my "/sdcard" as you did, I must use "/storage/extSdCard", but then the script can't work correctly.

I know that I have to put it in my INTERNAL storage, which is done too... but Terminal command fails anyway. :/
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
It's only slow if you use Windows download manager.

If you use a multi part download manager which allows login it downloads at full speed.

[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
Damn me. I can't do it, this simple step ! Do I miss something .. I think this is something stupid, that makes me an idiot but I can't think anymore ! :)

There is "No such file or directory" for "/system/app/Kinguser", /data/data/com.kingroot.Rushroot", etc.

It takes me so much time even if I found it easy, and did root a lot of others android devices. This one kills me. :P

I stopped wasting my time and abandonned... my solution : Kingroot 4.1 + SuperSuMe = Done. But I would have liked to do it with my hands. :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
Here is what I have done :

1. Flash with Odin XSG-T805XXU1ANF8-20140625 (KitKat)

2. Stuck on logo Samsung => wipe user data and wipe cache partition

3. It boots correctly on KitKat

4. Install KingRoot 4.1 (root done with KingUser)

6. Install SuperSuMe 6.7 (KingUser deleted, SuperSU installed)

7. Install FlashFire

8. Flash "Zip or OTA" IronRom 2.3.5 for T805 with modified "android folders with Tab S apps" to keep Knox 0x0

9. Stuck on Samsung's logo again

10. Wipe data/cache does nothing more... Boot on Download Mode : flash lollipop Bootloader with Odin.

11. Stuck on Samsung's logo... Did I miss something ? Maybe in FlashFire I should "Flash firmware" instead of "Flash Zip or OTA" ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
You can also use Tab A apps without tripping KNOX.

Which bootloader you flashed with Odin, one from the site or did you created an own? If you used an own, I hope you did it the right way.

And remember that the bootloader must be at least same version then ROM or newer.

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
I used "Flash Zip" from FlashFire to flash IronRom.zip

As I was stuck on Samsung's logo on the reboot, I booted in the download mode, and flashed the bootloader from the site with Odin.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
As I installed IronRom on my T705 I flashed the stock Lollipop bootloader with Odin, directly after flashing the ROM with flashfire.

I booted from flashfire in download mode and flashed the bootloader with Odin.

Check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60506328here for a bootloader.

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
Thanks Nick Noctem. I used this one in my case : T805XXU1BOCC_BOOTLOADER.tar

Anyway, when I flashed IronRom2.3.5, I selected "Reboot in download mode" in FlashFire, but there was nothing else than Samsung's logo. I have some simple questions in order to be on the same basis :

- You downgraded from Lollipop to KitKat too ?

- Then, did you download IronRom2.3.5 on the first page, replaced Tab S/A apps, and flash it with FlashFire ? (This "IronRom.zip" is not built like firmware : no system.img, boot.img...)

- In FlashFire, you chose "Flash Zip" ?

- Did you wipe everything before flashing ? And after ?

- You could boot directly after flashing IronRom ? Or you don't know because you were directly in Download Mode as you wanted to with FlashFire ?

I'll try it again with your bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
What I have exactly done you can find http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62452861here.

[Galaxy Tab S General] StiiLe:
Ok thanks a lot. I'll give it a try. I did exactly the same thing, except for the root method, and not the same files. So... Here I go again, with different files. :)

I'll write something like you if it works. :)

[Galaxy Tab S General] mangopie:
I'm having trouble keeping root when I flash to Lollipop on my T800. I basically follow all the steps listed by timg11 using Kingoroot and then going to step 10 on this thread. The difference though is after I select download for reboot option in FlashFire, flash, and it does its thing, it gets stuck on the Samsung screen instead of booting straight to download. I manually reboot into download by pressing the buttons and flash the Lollipop bootloader through Odin. I have done this several times, and the root is always lost. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
I guess before you go to step 11 here, you have already removed Kingoroot and installed and updated SuperSu. Maybe try to boot manually in download mode, after flashing with flashfire.
[Galaxy Tab S General] vectraone:
Just wanted to say thanks to Ashyx.

Followed the instructions exactly as in the first page and everything worked fine, downgrading my new SM-T800 to the UK ANF8 Kitkat firmware, rooting with Kingroot 4.1 and then upgrading back to Lollipop. Knox still at 0x0.

The only real problem I had was with Flashfire which crashed every time I ran it after installation of the apk. A little Googling solved the problem which involved manually changing the date in settings in the TAB S to 30/08/2015. Flashfire then ran fine. It appears the beta date for the Flashfire apk has expired. You can obviously change the date back to the current date after using Flashfire.

Hope this may help someone else.
[Galaxy Tab S General] gggg:
Can you please tell me how to extract and tar/md5 the (5.0.2) bootloader files from a stock.tar.md5 (from sammobile, I do this for a SM-a500fu) ... is this OK ?

- open stock ROM .tar with e.g. 7zip

- extract the following files to an folder: aboot.mbn, hyp.mbn, NON-HLOS.bin, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sec.dat, tz.mbn

- .tar those files to an archive using e.g. 7zip ... this does not give md5 ... can it be flashed with odin or how to ?

Or should we use a BL.tar.md5 created this way ?

set files=aboot.mbn hyp.mbn NON-HLOS.bin rpm.mbn sbl1.mbn sec.dat tz.mbn
set tarname=BL_LL502_A500FUXXU1BOE6_A500FUDBT1BOE1
bin\tar --group=1 -H ustar -c %files% > %tarname%.tar
bin\md5sum -t %tarname%.tar >> %tarname%.tar
bin\mv %tarname%.tar %tarname%.tar.md5

hope you can help ... one last thing. As this BL.tar.md5 is not signed ... will it trip Knox ... how to avoid that ?

Is it possible to run IronRom 2.4.1 using this process? I've been trying for like 3 days now and I really cant make it work. I Get it to boot, but I get FC's like crazy
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You get fc's because you didn't wipe the data partition.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
It doesn't need to be md5.

The bootloader is already signed so just tar it and flash.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pyfviperx:
I wiped the data partition numerous times. 2.3.5 installs fine.
[Galaxy Tab S General] nvleafs:
After always using Nexus devices (which are very easy to root) I ended up getting the Galaxy Tab S. Read the OP earlier today in preparation, was expecting something to go wrong. Luckily nothing did!

Followed post #15 on which apps to disable regarding Knox.

Downloaded Kitkat firmware from a site that took almost 2 hours.

Downloaded latest Lollipop firmware from the samfirm tool which took about 5 minutes.

Waited for Android to optimize 207 apps (can't believe that many are installed on a fresh device, my N5 has ~100 with 30-40 ones that I've downloaded!).

This guide, when followed, works perfectly. Got my Canadian T700 rooted with Lollipop 5.0.2 with Knox showing 0X0000.

Thanks so much!

[Galaxy Tab S General] scorpikor1:

Thank you ashyx!

My T800 is now rooted whithout tripping a knox. Thumb Up.

Had two "problems" during the rooting, but nothing that really scaried a lot.

Firstly I got a hidden.img failure. Was not impressed about it because of your comment, but couldn't restart into recovery to clear the cash. T800 showed every time after restart the message, that a problem is occured and I have to restore thru the kies:rolleyes:.

So I spent a lot of time to find in the web XXU1ANF8 designed for my region. After I fount it, everything got fine.

Secondly I had a problem with the Kinguser from Point 6. Actually I have had no Kinguser installed after Kingroot has a success in Point 5. I found the apk in root of my device, but it was not installed. So i couldn't uninstall it per Point 7.

So I ignored this step and everythig works fine. I have fully rooted Lollipop whithout knox tripped. Only the busybox was not installed per default, so I had to install busybox manually.

Thank you again!:good:

P.S. Actually that was another small "problem". Flashfire crashed every time I tried to run them. So I found the 0,24 Version of Flashfire and installed it. Succses.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Me_Myself_I:
Hi, I have rooted previous devices by using a simple Odin root.

This method here is new to me, so I hope you don't mind answering a question or 2?

I just bought my S10.5 last week and have not updated to lollipop yet. It's still on Kit Kat. Can I skip all of step 1 in this case?

Step 4: where under "root" do I unzip the file? Under .system? Or just any place in the root directory?

I do not want to update to lollipop so at step 12 I just tick what I want to flash and hit reboot and then I am done. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
You will need a KitKat version equal to or earlier than the version specified in the first post. That is because the exploit used for rooting is patched in later KitKat versions. Check in settings->about for your firmware version. If it is too old then you need to flash an earlier version matching the instructions. Also you do not need to flashing Lollipop but once rooted you can flash the latest version of KitKat with Flashfire which retains root during the flash process. In that way you get all the fixes for the firmware version you choose to use.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Me_Myself_I:
Sorry, I just realized I forgot to mention the firmware I have at the moment which is T805YDOU1ANF8.

I thought that was an old enough version? If not, what version would be best to use in this case, seeing as I'm in Australia? Tried the regional search on the Samsung.update sites, but my phone shows me an empty screen :\
[Galaxy Tab S General] madchainsawer:
Kingroot
[Galaxy Tab S General] Me_Myself_I:
Yes I'm using king root :)

However, I wanted to know if my stock firmware was old enough :) It seems to be, but I'm not 100% sure though? Most of these guides are based on American Samsung devices, which is logic. I just don't want to void my Australian warranty by flashing American firmware lol.

I just got the T700 and its on stock kit kat. So I assume I just skip the downgrading part and go straight to like step 3?

Guide fails on SM-T805

Hi everyone,

unfortunatley, I cannot follow these instructions on my Galaxy Tab S LTE (SM-T805) to install IronROM 2.4.1.

I get as far as

Flashfire 0.20 I can install, but starting it always ends the app immediately without any message or error. I can install and run V0.24, but that one always quits during

this step. Approximately two thirds through the scanning (which takes ages, more than 20 minutes, I think), the app just quits with a message box "Flashfire was ended". That's it. Happened twice now.

Can anybody tell me what to do now in order to get through with the install of IronROM?

Thanks in advance, Pit.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You didn't follow the instructions correctly. :banghead:

To flash a zip you need select the 'flash zip/ota' option NOT 'flash firmware package' which is for tar packages and stock firmware.

Secondly you cannot flash the Ironrom 2.4.1 zip with flashfire as it contains an Aroma script.

To use Flashfire you need my modified updater script which is posted on the first page of the Ironrom thread
[Galaxy Tab S General] Sj16:

- got it
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I got half way through this post and gave up reading when you declared you didn't know what an Aroma script was.

Just to make this short and sweet, the instructions are as concise as they need to be.

Anyone who doesn't understand shouldn't be flashing anything or they get off their backsides and do some research first.

All the answers you could ever need are here or Google.

Also just to make this clear.

XDA is NOT a spoon feeding website. If you don't understand what you read go away and do some research.

It is up to YOU to ensure you know what you are doing. Nobody else.
[Galaxy Tab S General] blavov:
Full quote with insults. I guess I have to look elsewhere for helpful people who will acually answer concrete questions.

Spoon-Feeding :rolleyes: Yes, I've needed spoon-feeding for the last three years of flashing andoid devices. :mad: And I've been sitting on my backside while studying the (for a 20-year+ embedded software developer) near indecipherable "guides" and littered additional comments for hours and hours before even starting. And then I took "aroma" for part of the ROM name. Blasphemy.

Thanks for nothing. I've taken back every thanks I gave you in the first place.
[Galaxy Tab S General] baristaman:
Does this mean I can use the updater script from the first post in the Ironrom thread for 2.4.1? From that post, and following this thread, I was under the impression that it could only be used with 2.3.5.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Claros22:
Same question, is it only possible with 2.3.5 ? I just tried two times with 2.4.1 and both times it failed. By failed, I mean the rom booted fine, but initialisation app is buggy. And after initialisation, only a few apps are present. There is no launcher, so to launch any app you have to use the sidebar.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You're correct it's only for 2.3.5 but if you search the thread there is a modified script for 2.4.1.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Claros22:
Ok I will look for this script. I tried with 2.3.5, but the root doesn't work and it's written that it has been fixed in 2.4.0.

Thanks you for your guide !
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Tbh I don't think the completed script ever got posted by [MENTION=3912424]databoy2k[/MENTION].

However I do have a copy and can repost it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] databoy2k:
Yes, I'm sorry - it didn't get posted because my computer died and I'm STILL waiting for Gigabyte to send me back my motherboard. Life on a tablet is much simpler, but far fewer screens. Sorry [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] but at the end of the day it was your final fixes that got it working.
[Galaxy Tab S General] baristaman:
Did the script for Ironrom 2.4.1 get posted? I can't find it anywhere.
