I would never use my sim card for contacts anyway, should have them backed up to Google contacts.
[Galaxy Tab S General] yabadap:
just a follow up for the guide,

when i use Kingoroot in kitkat. the rooting process failed at 90% so i decided to reboot the device and try again. but after the reboot and opened Kingoroot, it told me "already have root".

not seeing any problems atm with Lollipop 5.0.2 rooted (too early to say)

thnx again guys.

PS. about the Foldermount v2.8.1 thing... i hope someone tried this app if it trips the Knox or not.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
FolderMount won't trip knox, it's just an app.

How did you tar it?
[Galaxy Tab S General] toufiq47:
So can i uninstall knox **** with system apps remover???
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Yes
[Galaxy Tab S General] toufiq47:
If i remove. Then there will be no Knox ^_^

Then I can flash custom cwm and ROM without tension!!!

Again if I flash back stock ROM with Odin. Is the Knox come back for warrenty claim?

Is this modus operandi correct (SM-T805)?

Hallo all,

as I've now found this thread (after been given/suggested the wrong search string and coming up empty :( ), I now want to follow this guide to finally (this is my 13th try!) get this stupid tablet (SM-T805) to a rooted, perhaps debloated firmware without tripping Knox in the process. In order to not misunderstand (or plainly don't get) anything resulting in yet another failure, allow me to summarize my plan:

I'm currently downloading the required Kitkat firmware in a file called ATO-T805XXU1ANF8-20140627095628.ZIP from upple.it. As I understand it, this is an Austrian version of the firmware needed to follow this guide.

I will then reflash and wipe (both factory wipe and dalvik) the Firmware using Odin and the recovery menu of the device.

After that, I will enable Wifi, but cancel setting Google and Samsung accounts.

I have already downloaded the Kingoroot apk from the link in the OP. I will now transfer it to the tablet, install and run it. It should succeed rooting the device. (Fingers crossed)

After I got root, I will install and run Super-Su 2.52 beta downloaded from this link. It should then convert my root to Super-SU.

Then, I will install and run the System app remover I downloaded from here. With that program, I will remove the KingoRoot app and Knox. Can I do that safely at this point? Will it completely remove Knox without triggering the fuse later on?

Then I will reboot and verify via Root Checker Basic that I still have root access.

Now, I'm a little unsure. If I removed Knox, can't I just install e.g. IronROM directly via Standard recovery? Or do I need to run FlashFire? Moreover, as far as I know FlashFire and the current IronROM version aren't compatible to each other, the is a script or something needed which to my knowledge hasn't been posted here yet.

Also, do I need to flash this bootloader after installing IronROM?

Furthermore, is it necessary or recommended to flash TWRP at any point during this installation? And will it trip Knox if I do?

Are the any more steps to follow? Did I misread anything? Should I use a different CustomROM? I really would like to be sure this time, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Pit.

Thanks, it works dude. Well, a little complicated for my first time rooting.

All ok until point 6. but, when I try to upgrade to Lollipop, like described on point 7. the root gone away... why?

[Galaxy Tab S General] Geno Gambino:
This worked for me with a few exceptions. Kingoroot took two attempts to obtain root. SYS app remover appeared to have removed Kingoroot, but after reboot, I could not log on to Google Play. After another reboot, was able to log on to Google Play and got the prompt Kingoroot was a malicious app requesting to remove it. Another reboot and good to go. Just got this 32g device (T-800) at super price a few weeks ago with lollipop but I perfer a rooted kit kat device for now. Thanks for your help OP and thanks to XDA.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
OK just to clear this up, Kingoroot is the root Installer app, Kingouser(now called Superuser) is the su management app.

System app remover removes Superuser, to remove Kingoroot just uninstall it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
Hey ashyx, thanks for this guide! Successfully rooted my Tab S 8.4 and updated to Lollipop 2 months ago on the first attempt without tripping knox :)

I have a problem though:

I recently factory reset my device, and am trying to root again using the same steps as the first time,

but am unable to stay rooted after upgrading to Lollipop with FlashFire 0.24.

I have tried these steps 3 times today and each time is the same result: everything appears fine, but when

booting into Lollipop after flashing from ANF8 (KitKat) to BOF4 (Lollipop) with FlashFire, I lose root.

I made sure EverRoot was enabled in FlashFire, but Root Checker Basic says I have no root access. Also,

when I open SuperSU, I get the message:

Do you know why this could be, or how to fix it?

Thanks very much :D
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Instead of using EverRoot, use Supersu v2.49. Load it into Flashfire with the rom and flash.
[Galaxy Tab S General] rafiq1004:
I've done rooted my GT i8552 using the kingo root

it is simple and awesome
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
Thanks for the reply.

I see what you mean. I will try flashing the SuperSU 2.49 zip without EverRoot, hopefully it will work :)

Edit: That didn't seem to work either :( . I am going to try a different Lollipop firmware package.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
Still no luck :(
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You don't have reactivation lock enabled do you?
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
I don't think so but maybe I did while I was running Lollipop. When I set up KitKat, I don't sign in to any accounts or change any settings. Just log in to WiFi. I can't see reactivation lock as an option in my security settings on KitKat. Do I need to upgrade to Lollipop to disable it maybe? -- Edit: no option for this in Lollipop either for SM-T700.

What I have tried:

In flashfire 0.24 I have tried both flashing all partitions, and just the required 3.

I have tried both EverRoot disabled with SuperSU 2.49 zip, and default EverRoot.

Also tried enabling Survival Mode in SuperSU which made no difference.

I also had same result with two different Lollipop firmwares.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ginoven1181:
sir i tried 4 times to root but it can't..
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Do you see the supersu script run in Flashfire?

How are you determining you don't have Root, do no root apps work?

Also the Reactivation thingy is in the find my phone section iirc. You need to log into that first.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
I'll have to check if the supersu script runs next time I try, at the moment I am trying the stefan.pilsu method with KingRoot.

I am using Root Checker Basic to check for root, and also running SuperSU app which says "There is no SU binary installed ... etc".

I also looked in the Find my phone section, signed in to Samsung account and the option wasn't to be seen. Only 'Remote controls' and 'Google location service'. Very weird.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
How you root isn't going to determine whether or not supersu can be injected with flashfire.

The main goal is to simply get root for flashfire to work.

If you don't have Root after flashing with flashfire then I doubt the supersu script is running.

Not sure how this can be unless it's something you are doing wrong your end.

It'd be better if you explain your steps.

I would also use root validator as this will tell you exactly what did and what didn't get installed.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
Hmm, okay. I had no luck with the other KingRoot method on multiple Lollipop firmwares anyway.

When I run FlashFire and Root Validator before upgrading to Lollipop, I get SuperSU Grant/Deny prompt immediately.

But after tapping Grant, both apps get stuck at "Acquiring root access" until I restart them.

Once restarted they start working immediately with the toast "granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell".

Is this normal?

Also, SuperSU appears to be flashed correctly with EverRoot when looking at the FlashFire log.
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
Oh my god, success!

Thanks for the suggestion to use Root Validator, ashyx.

Root Validator showed su was installed, but BusyBox was not found for some reason.

So I did a few things differently:

- Reboot before updating with FlashFire (not sure if necessary, but fixed the issue I described above about closing and reopening the apps)

- Added BusyBox 1.23.2 zip and SuperSU 2.49 zip after the firmware package in FlashFire

- Disable EverRoot

Now I am permanently rooted on Lollipop with Knox 0 :D
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Good stuff, got there in the end.

Can you post the firmware build you used to get root with so others know.?
[Galaxy Tab S General] fukkery123ss:
Sure.

I used this firmware to get root on KitKat with KingoRoot.

PDA: T700XXU1ANF8

CSC: T700UVS1ANF8

Then upgraded to this firmware with FlashFire (by flashing BusyBox and SuperSU zips) for permanent root on Lollipop.

PDA: T700XXU1BOF4

CSC: T700NZC1BOF1

Recovery Menu on the SM-T800

Sorry if I am not posting this in the right place but here goes.

Just checking here. When I booted into recovery on my SM T800 I found a recovery menu I wasn't expecting and am checking to make sure that I am looking at the right one. Here's what I see for the menu.

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

apply update from cache

wipe data / factory reset

wipe cache partition

reboot to bootloader

power down

[Galaxy Tab S General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Dude step 5. Run the Superuser app. Hit Continue and then Normal method to install the Super su binary. Wait for KingoUser to ask if you want to Grant root. Hit Grant . If you see a message pop up to disable Knox just hit cancel ??. if i hit cancel as Knox keeps popping to disable Knox via superuser apk if i cancel then super user does not install also Kingoroot version of superuser does not ask for permission for superuser also i had a fail for root installation twice and ive gotten root somehow ? KNOX 0X0 Thanks

[Galaxy Tab S General] rutinh:
I had the same problem as yours; now my tabs 10.5 and 8.4 already rooted just following these step from ashyx ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/guide-how-to-root-tripping-knox-kitkat-t3129484) below:

4. Using the built in File Manager extract the zip package to your internal SD card. Once extracted, inside the extracted folder is another folder called MRW.

THIS FOLDER NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO THE ROOT OF YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD OR THIS WON'T WORK.

5. Next go to Settings set your display timeout to 10 mins.

Now Run KINGROOT then wait for it to do it's thing. If it reboots part way through the process then after rebooting unlock your device, but don't touch anything for a couple of mins. The app should restart and continue. If you are successful you can move to the next step. If not, exit the app and run it again, it may take several attempts before you eventually achieve root.

6. After success uninstall the KINGROOT app (NOT KINGUSER) (not required with v4.5) and the other blue app with Chinese writing.

Now reboot - DO NOT RUN THE KINGUSER APP

7. Let your device fully boot then run the Terminal Emulator and wait for the command prompt

NOTE: IF AT ANY POINT YOU SEE A POP UP BOX WITH CHINESE WRITING ASKING YOU TO UPDATE THE KINGUSER APP SELECT CANCEL.

Now type or copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window:

su

It will ask for root permission, so select ALLOW.

Without closing the terminal emulator window, hit the HOME button and run the SYSTEM APP REMOVER app. (The app is red and simply called UNINSTALL)

The app will ask for root permission, hit ALLOW.

Look for the KINGUSER app then select it and uninstall it. Exit from the app.

Re-open the terminal emulator window and type the following:

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

This will run a script, you will see a bunch of warnings, just ignore them .At then end of the script the SUPERSU app will run.

8. Hit CONTINUE then NORMAL.

Next you may see another message that 'Samsung knox has been detected'. When you see this message select CANCEL.

Once completed you should see a message saying that installation has been successful. Hit OK.

If you see the message again 'Samsung knox has been detected' select CANCEL then exit the SUPERSU app.

9 . Now check with ROOT VALIDATOR that you have root and everything looks ok.

DO NOT REBOOT.

The root is only temporary, if you reboot you will lose root.

10. The next step is to install our ROM of choice with FLASHFIRE

For more info on FLASHFIRE see here: http://xdaforums.com/gene...hfire-t3075433

https://userscloud.com/vkyqjtz3yulr

11. Run FLASHFIRE and grant it root.

**comfirm: Kingroot or Kingoroot still works on 5.02 (I've tested on tabs 10.5 and 8.4)

After successfully rooting my Galaxy S5, I've decided to look into Rooting my Tab S 10. SM-T800, Android 5.0.1, XXU1BOL1.

It sounds like I have to flash a kitkat firmware (?and kernel ?) before proceeding, but that the T800 can be rooted, is that correct?
[Galaxy Tab S General] elliwigy:
king root is completely different than supersu..

king root has their own binaries (king user) vs. supersu has their own (super user)

They also dont work together...

you need to find a guide to manually replace it or try supersume from the play store..

you can get more information looking in the king root and/or super sume xda threads.

Hello,

I try to root my 705 with I never updated and is currently on firmware version XXU1ANF8 and baseband XXU1ANF7.

I install the current version of kingoroot with is 4.2.5, selected not to install the recommended apps and run it.

After a while on 95 or 99% I can't remember the screen turn black, didn't know if I had root or not but then try to install SuperSu 2.49 and when it was trying to update crash and reboot to tablet.

I tried to run kingoroot again but it was already rooted and installed also it's superuser app with can be used to manage permissions and remove system apps.

SuperSu 2.49 doesn't install.

Phone Info app says knox still is 0x0.

Since my tab S is rooted what should I do next?

1 - Nothing more, keep it as is?

2 - Nothing, but delete knox using Superuser (with systems apps should I delete)?

3 - Try to install current version of supersu (2.78) and proceed with the tutorial from step 5?

Thanks in advance for your help because I never before deal with knox.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] beerdoggy:
Hello everyone,

I have a stock Verizon Incredible 2 running Gingerbread 2.3.4 OTA which is stuck at HBOOT.

*** LOCKED ***

VIVO_W XA SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.98.0000

RADIO-1.09.01.0312

eMMC-boot

Jul 18 2011, 12:39:36

Things I've already done:

Tried booting with/without SD Card.

Tried booting with/without SIM Card.

Attempted to boot into recovery from HBOOT which gives the HTC spash screen, followed by "Updating Software from Verizon Wireless", followed by a picture of a Smartphone with a Red Triangle and Exclamation Point. The phone then reboots itself after 60 seconds.

While I'm on the Red Triangle screen, I'm able to load Android system recovery <3e> using Power and Volume Up, but it gives the following errors and then reboots after 60 seconds:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount DATA

E:Can't mount /data/data/recovery/log

E:Can't open /data/data/recovery/log

Downloaded the latest RUU RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_5.10.605.9_Radio_1.09.01.1111_NV_VZW1.92_release_225831_signed.exe

and extracted the included rom.zip to grab all the .img files (btw what's up with the 256 byte header in that zip? some kind of signature?)

Setup USB drivers on my PC so fastboot can talk with the phone

Attempted to use fastboot flash and fastboot boot to replace or temporarily use the boot_signed.img and got signature verify fail because HBOOT is locked.

Used fastboot to retrieve identifier token

Attempted to unlock HBOOT from HTCDEV

Unlocking Bootloader Failed with Error Code: 172. Error Reason: CID Not Allowed (MID not exist in Model Rule).

Was relieved to discover that it didn't work when I read that unlocking HBOOT erases all my data by design. (In the dozens of articles I've researched, nobody bothered to mention that small detail.)

Background:

I don't really care about the phone itself, but if at all possible, I need to recover the calendar data from it; I use calendar after client appointments to track time spent onsite. Google calendar sync went crazy about 6 weeks ago and any event I created on the phone would be immediately deleted from the phone. To solve this and keep tracking my time (yes, I know I should have just upgraded my phone at that point), I had to disable sync with Google, so the data exists only on the phone. Basically what I'm looking at is the only record of all my billable time for the last 6 weeks (most of my clients are on net30 or net60), so this is very important.

I never rooted the phone because of the requirement for the 2.3.3 downgrade and the subsequent data wipe, and the lack of backup options without root.

First of all, you should have done a backup of your stock ROM in TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs. If you had done so, you wouldn't be stuck in the position,and it would be very easy to revert. Why so many folks skip this basic step, I have no idea.
