done bro now im in kitkat 4.4.2 :good::good::good::good:

base band version :T805XXU1ANF5

bulid version: T805XXU1ANF8

im on XXU1ANF8 yes? i can see 5 and 8?

u asked for T805XXU1ANF.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
T805XXU1ANF8 as stated in first post.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
i now bro im reading your post since 3 week

.

but i get this 2 singe

base band version :T805XXU1ANF5

bulid version: T805XXU1ANF8

so im on T805XXU1ANF8 or T805XXU1ANF5?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I really dont think you should be doing this procedure as you dont seem to understand what you are doing. XXU1ANF8 is the firmware build number, thats all that matters.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
thanks bro for your kind help, and sorry if i made u angry from mi.:crying::crying:

i used this link as u advise:

1. Firstly you need to downgrade your device to a XXU1ANF8 or earlier firmware suitable for your particular model. This is available at http://samsung-updates.com/ or you can use this one XSG-T805XXU1ANF8-20140625 which is for the T805 model only.

but i did not now that Bulid number should be T805XXU1ANF8 not the baseband number

so im in correct frimware now as my BUILD NUMBER IS KOT49H- T805XXU1ANF8

Im going to root now, i think you will get headache from my dump Q when i done
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Yes, you're all set to go. Good luck. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
Q before Root by KINGOROOT

1- if i want to stay on Kitkat after rooting, can i unroot any time? ( for warranty if something happen to device )

do i need any special program, or just flash by ODIN the stuck firmware, and root will gone?

2 - if i want to update latter on to Unroot version of Lollipop or higher firmware can i do it ?or i just i stuck on kitkat forever after rooting my kitkat?

3) after rooting to check my knox is 0x0x, shall i go to download mode to check it, or any program can tell mi?

sorry for headache:crying::crying::crying:
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You can unroot and go back to stock any time by flashing stock firmware. Knox will remain 0.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
Install KINGOROOT for Android then run it. After a short while you will hopefully have success, its quite quick. For me it quickly went to 40% then paused and then went to 95% and then paused for a while longer then said ROOT SUCCESS. No reboots.

same think happed to mean and it said rooted and my knox is o

but i got this message:

"The superuser binary (su) must be updated or reintaled

if not root permeation is found please try and reboot your device ans install su binary by rooting your device again.

and when i check by Root Validator it said root denied?

i run again KINGOROOT it said rooted.

so?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Do you have the KingoUser app?
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
i uninstal the KINGOROOT

but i check it now , yes i have kingouser icon
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
No not kinguser, KingoUser.

I suggest you uninstall all root apps then reboot and try again.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
i have kingouser icon blue icon with white line inside
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Hi.

I am on kitkat and i am rooted using the normal kingroot, not kingoroot, so i installed supersu and tried installing the su binary using the normal method, but i keep getting an knox warning and i click cancel and then i reboot and try again, but i still get the knox warning, is there a way around this problem without flashing an rom.

Thanks.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
i also downgrade to kitkat

i root by kingoroot

everything went fine knox 0x0

but i also get same warning.

when i run kingoroot again it shown device az rooted, but i try several root checker they said not rooted
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
As i said i rooted using kingroot not kingoroot, i am rooted and have been using root programs for a week, but i wanted to install supersu and remove kinguser but the knox warning keep popping up as i try and install the supersu binary.

Ok i told supersu to disable knox and it failed, i use titanium to freeze all root files and then rebooted and ran supersu and it still failed.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
what kind of root program u use?

i need app uinstaller to remove samsung app

and i need program to install app directly to sd card not to internal memory

do u suggest any thing else
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I used the latest kingroot to root my UK T800 v4.4.2 kitkat and it worked fine, then i used an sd card fix it need root, and it worked perfectly now i have 100% control over my microsd , but i want to remove kinguser and install supersu.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
i found this for u

this method "knox" em out.

there's a really simple method i found out..lol pretty silly though.

first make sure you follow all the steps that are recommended by our xda bro's

then right when the you reach the start up screen after flashing the required files,go DIRECTLY TO SYSTEM/APP MANAGER:and force stop all knox app,Then go to google play and update your super SU once done ,open it and then you follow the prompt where you;ll also see to block the F%^&ing knox app.

finally reboot and see your rooted phone knox free,

[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I dont want to flash, I am already rooted using kingroot, I froze all knox files rebooted and then ran supersu i got no knox warning as it is frozen, but supersu failed to install the binary, I even tried telling supersu to disable knox but that failed, supersu has root permission according to kinguser.

I used the kingroot from the link below, I used 524 but there is an newer version.

http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
This is likely Knox blocking root after a reboot.

Kingoroot doesn't seem to handle Knox very well.

Run Kingoroot again then immediately convert to Supersu as in the guide in the first post. Do not reboot before converting to Supersu.

This time you will keep root.

Check root with this app not root validator as it doesn't work well with Kingoroot.

http://www.apk4fun.com/files/6154/

Have modified the guide to include the new info.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You can't convert to Supersu with Kingroot installed as it blocks it, unless you follow my Kingroot guide.

OR go into Kinguser settings and select unroot then use this guide to root with Kingoroot.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Hi.

I disabled and removed kingroot and then installed kingoroot, but rooting fails with an error code 0x0136C3 , do you know what this means.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You need to Remove Kingroot by going in to Kinguser settings then reboot.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
KingRoot is gone, I used the method below to remove it, and i rebooted.

http://androidxda.com/remove-kinguser-application

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
That should have removed kingroot. It's essential to reboot afterwards.

I'd uninstall all rooting apps then reinstall kingoroot and try again.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I installed kingoroot again it gets to 90% and then i get that error code, I have checked the kingoroot website but it has no information on error codes.

[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
Ashyx, in your opinion do you have any concerns about using an unverifiable source to root your device especially for users that do not immediately flash new images? Such as those who stay on KitKat. Maybe they should at least upgrade to the latest stock KitKat firmware using Flashfire.

I've used kingroot myself but have lingering concerns despite removing kingroot for SuperSU and flashing stock Lollipop. I have no indication that there is anything insidious going on but all the same we've rooted using a security exploit. My Tab S is attached to my local network jumping around any WAN security protection that I usually rely on.

Just a question? I'd love to read your thoughts.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
If you've upgraded to lollipop you've completely removed all traces of kingroot. So no worries there.

Regarding kingroot or Kingoroot etc, there are loads of people scaremongering about Chinese roots, but tbh I don't think there is anything sinister with these apps.

I used kingroot for months on my HTC m8, simply because I actually liked the King user app.

After all it seems the developers have put a lot of effort in bringing these roots, why would they spoil it by doing something sinister.

It seems nobody has actually proved that the apps are doing anything other than rooting.

Rooting is always a risk to security, if your not prepared to to take that risk just don't do it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
THANKS

im going to do all again im on kitkat now.

i will flash stuck firmware by ODIN again start over from beginning. let you now

do i need start the kingoroot from sd card as its in your video? or internal memory is good also?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Doesn't matter where you install it from.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Craysh:
I guess you updated the other guide after this one. You mean move to step 10 right?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Whoops, yes you're right, edited. Thanks for pointing it out.
[Galaxy Tab S General] timg11:
Everything worked up to step 6. Running System App Remover, and there is no KingUser app present in the list.

Should I just proceed, or does that mean something went wrong?

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Since this thread was started, the KingoUser app has changed its name to SuperUser. I found it and uninstalled it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Are you on firmware XXU1ANFB or XXU1ANF8?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
First post edited. Thanks for the feedback. I think you're the only that has bothered posting any positive feedback.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
My firmware is XXU1ANFB

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You need XXU1ANF8, XXU1ANFB doesn't work with Kingoroot.

Tbh I can't understand your aversion to flashing the stock kitkat rom with Flashfire.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ozaq1:
Hi, thank you for the guide :)

only one that seemed simple enough, so I jumped on board to try it.

Just wanted to let you know,

I'm on Build number T705XXU1ANL3 with Baseband XXU1ANF7.

It keeps on telling me root failed. Shall I try the kingroot app instead?

Or is there a way to use this. This method seems far simpler.

Thanks again for your help
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
You need to downgrade to ANF8 or something. ANL3 is kinda newish in which the root exploit wont work.
[Galaxy Tab S General] alialexali:
DONE DONE DONE THANK U FOR YOUR KIND HELP

:good::good::good::good:;)

i am now on Lollipop stock ROM and rooted

PRODUCT NAME : T805

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

SYSTEM STATUS: CUSToM

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0X0000)

Q:

1) SYSTEM STATUS: CUSToM , no problem that is not official ? i get back to official if i unroot or flash by ODIN in case of warranty repair

2) System app remover, will put the app in recycle ok

but they are running and using my cpu? or hid?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
1. System status is custom because the system partition signature has now changed. Flash stock and it will say official.

2. They are simply stored in a folder and not installed at all.

Can I use with XXU1ANFB to update 5.02

Hello, I have the firm XXU1ANFB (FB NO F8) and I have installed root with the first published method (I have knox = 1)

Can i use this method to keep the root and update to 5.02?, from which I have to step away I do it?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English
[Galaxy Tab S General] UpInTheAir:
Never since used kingoroot after it was first found publicized that they were sending sensitive device data un-encrypted to Chinese servers. Data included serial number, phone number and IMEI..

They may be safe now (I don't know for sure), but for now, I still have no confidence in them.........
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You don't need this method, you have already tripped Knox so you can flash whatever you wish with Odin, including root.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jalls72:
Thanks ashyx,

but if I flash with odin, do I not lose the root?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Not sure why you quoted that?

Anyway, you don't need to use this method as you have already tripped Knox so you can just use cfauto root unless your device has a locked bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab S General] jalls72:
Thanks again!

I do not know how this boot loader, how can I check the status of the bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab S General] MCube74:
Wow this is good but sadly I already upgraded the firmware to 5.02 for my Hong Kong version T705.

So this root method doesn't work for lollipop firmware?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Craysh:
I just wanted to take a moment to thank ashyx for this guide.

I'm getting my Tab S today in the mail and I'll be using this the moment it comes in.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

Re-read steps 1-3. It does not work in lollipop, which is why you need to downgrade before starting this procedure.

rooted successfully but accidentally uninstalled system settings app

I got successful root with inferior in my lg escape2 but I somehow uninstalled the default system settings app and my keyboard stopped working so I went to the UN root option under settings in kinguser and did the UN root. Still the settings weren't working nor was my keyboard, so I decided to do a hard reset, and now every time I not my.phone up a box pops up and says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." When you click ok underneath that, the box just pops right back up, over and over and over.. I am extremely new to this, is my phone bricked? Is it fixable without a computer..? Help me please!!!
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You know this is a Samsung tab s forum?

Of course it's not bricked, it's just missing some important system files.

If you used system app uninstaller then open the app and go to the recycle bin then restore what you uninstalled.

If you didn't and you have permanently deleted then reflash the stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab S General] INEEDHELPPLEAAAASSSEEE:
But, am I able to do any of that WITHOUT a computer....? Is that possible ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
It depends how you removed the apps.
[Galaxy Tab S General] INEEDHELPPLEAAAASSSEEE:
When I downloaded and installed kingroot, I opened the app and clicked uninstall..
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Opened which app?
[Galaxy Tab S General] INEEDHELPPLEAAAASSSEEE:
Kinguser ...
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
So you didn't actually uninstall anything except for kingoroot?
[Galaxy Tab S General] INEEDHELPPLEAAAASSSEEE:
No no no I download, installed and ran Kingroot... not KINGOroot, then Kingroot automatically downloaded Kinguser. I opened kinguser and then you have 4 options startup manager, uninstall, purify system, and settings I think. I went to uninstall and got rid of what, I thought were, useless LG apps under the system tab.. then next thing I knew my keyboard didn't work I couldn't figure out how to reinstall the apps that I had deleted/uninstalled, so I then ran the unroot option in Kinguser and then when I tried to use my keyboard again I discovered that my settings app wasn't working either so I went ahead and tried to unroot again from the settings in Kinguser it didn't work so I just did a hard reset... now when it boots up and gets to the point where it's trying to set up your account and sign into your Google stuff it just keeps going in a loop saying that unfortunately settings has stopped
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Well you're posting in the kingoroot thread, so your post isnt really relevant to this thread.

It was a bad idea removing stuff without at least making some sort of backup. Not sure why you used kinguser tools to remove those apps when you coukd have used system app remover which is posted and safer?

Your best step is to simply reflash the stock firmware this wll replace the missing files.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Hi ashyx,

first of all I would like to say thank you! I used this on my SM-T705 with ANF7 and it worked fine.

After I guess around 20 tries I got root. Before I tried Kingroot v. 4.1 and also v. 4.5, but without success.

I have to admit that I tried it there not as often as with Kingoroot, cause it takes longer.

Thx again,

Will odin work on windows 10?
[Galaxy Tab S General] mab71:
Ok, i managed to root my device t705 with this method. When checking in download mode, the system status says custom and the knox warranty says : 0, instead of 0(0x0) before... Is this ok? Is my knox tripped?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
If you downgraded to KitKat bootloader it will say that. Lollipop bootloader will say 0x0

As long as knox still says 0 you are fine.

It says custom because rooting modifies the system partition.

Nothing to worry about.

Yes, Odin 3.10 works fine on Windows 10.

re

Hi ashyx,

stuck in step 13, when i try to flash bootloader with odin, i waited for at least 30 mins but odin is not doing anything. i thought i bricked my device so i flashed kitkat again.

KONX = 0

Windows 7

Odin 3.09

device is SM-T705

device manufactured= june 17 2015

(the device was already in lollipop when i purchase the device.)

baseband ver: T705DXU1ANF4

kitkat ver for downgrade: T705XXU1ANF8 (in device atm)

i want to use Lollipop ver 5.0.2: T705XXU1BODD

what i did to get bootloader file is, i opened T705XXU1BODD and search for the sboot.bin, then use 7zip and archived it with tar extension.( i am not sure if its the right procedure)

what happen is after i flashed the lollipop rom on step 12 the device reboot but stuck in samsung boot screen, i waited for 10-20mins after a while i decided to press vol down+home+power to force shut down and go to download. thats when i did the odin part and got stuck .

in ODIN i un-tick the auto reboot, tick and place the bootloader on AP, then when everything looks fine, i press start. it just shows a big BOOTLOADER but nothing on the status bar (there is no green thingy like when i downgrade no confirmation, no nothing)

im going to try the whole process again from the beginning and get back here if the problem persist on step 13 in bootloader.

i hope you can help ty.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
Well this is how you should make the bootloader.

I did it that way and had no issues with my T705. Here you can download the newest for our devices.

You will find a BOD5 for the T705 there which should also work.

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
As nick says you need to create the tar file in the correct format. 7zip won't work.

The tar file is actually an image, not a compressed archive.
[Galaxy Tab S General] yabadap:
=))

Thanks guys nick and ashyx,

ok funny thing happened. the bootloader works now (thanks to the link nick gave) but i lost root. i dont really understand how i lost it but i think i'll retry downgrade and just stick to kitkat.

last question: will the foldermount trip knox? this is the only reason i want to root. thnx.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
There is no need for staying on Lollipop if you dont want it! You can follow this guide from step 10, or this guide here, but instead of flashing the IronRom with flashfire you can flash the stock Lollipop with it.

Which foldermount you are talking about, guess I don´t get it. :confused:

[Galaxy Tab S General] yabadap:
followed the steps and updated to lollipop too... rooted with knox=0

but theres a little bug when in lollipop 5.0.2(rooted). the tablet cant seem to access the sim card contacts.

when flashing using flashfire, do i need to flash modem too? maybe flashing modem will fix this, but in ashyx's tutorial its not needed.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Nick Noctem:
First of all would more details be realy helpful...which tablet, which rom, bootlader etc.

I don't have that issue my sim contacts are displayed. Did you tried to set the options in your phonebook which contacts should be displayed to all or sim?

No need to flash the Modem, this is usually only needed when the sim is not detected or you had ROM with different modem settings.

But feel free to flash it.

NN
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
I would upgrade the modem too, just for the sake of compatibility and having an updated modem.
[Galaxy Tab S General] yabadap:
ok ill try flashing the modem. maybe it will fix things.:fingers-crossed:

this is what happen.

in kitkat, everythings ok, then i follow your steps...updated to lollipop (rooted) then i notice my sim contacts are gone. so i flashed lollipop (unroot) again. and sim contacts are ok no prob. so i decided to do the rooting process again up to lollipop (rooted), same thing happen sim contacts are gone.

i already tried contacts>(3 dots)>settings>contacts to display.

device is SM-T705

baseband ver: T705DXU1ANF4

Lollipop ver 5.0.2: T705XXU1BODD

ty

EDIT: Solved hehehe.

Solution: need to flash modem. thanks for ashyx for the guide and nick for the links.
