[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warit1321:
Ok, I apologize. I didn't think it would be a waste of time if you had actually helped the OP, which you did.

By the way it's the OP, and for some reason I could not log into my other account. So I had to make another. :confused:

Anyway, what I want to do is root my tablet, but with no custom recovery. I just want to be able to remove a lot of bloatware and if I ever feel the need, reset the tablet like normal from settings menu. And also able to do software updates, OTA. If I can. Really all I want to do with root is just remove useless apps I will never use. Free up some space/save battery and such. Not much else.

So I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, model SM-T800, running Lollipop version 5.0.2. I rooted my tablet using a CF-autoroot + TWRP before. But is there any root file that is just the root that will work for my model/android version I am running? Thanks for your help thus far.

OK that's better, but just a word of warning, you've created 3 accounts. You can get banned for this. If you have problems with your accounts contact a moderator.

Anyway go to this link for just root.

With root you will lose ota. However it's no big deal as all updates are available at sammobile.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warit1321:
Thanks for the reply... I know, I didn't mean to make another account. Sorry about that. If a admin can, they can delete the first two accounts since i no longer have access to them, and will be using this one as my main one.

Anyway I followed that link and I see the Odin flashable root for my device. Will it work for Android lollipop 5.0.2? I notice it says it's for android version 4.4.2.

When I first tried rooting, I found a root file and it didn't work. I had SU installed, but when I opened it it would ask to update binaries and then fail.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It will work fine.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warit1321:
Yep, thank you it worked.

Another question, is there an easy way to unroot, then do software updates, then re-root? Or is that too much of a pain? I dunno if you can turn root off using SuperSU, or if you need to install firmware to get rid of the root.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Well if you find your firmware for your device on SamMobile, flash with FLASHFIRE keeping root.

You may find you keep root and be able to ota , but you may have to factory reset first.

It worked for another member.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warit1321:
Hmm. If I did a factory reset, would all the bloatware apps I removed return? Or will they be gone for good?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
They will when you install the stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warit1321:
Ok thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arozer:
I didn't know what I was doing using the TWRP and I've formatted the entire device. Including my SDCard where my Roms and Backups were stored. So now my nexus is without an OS. This generally wouldn't be a problem since I can 'mount' the device in recovery mode and transfer a new Rom .zip to my sdcard and then flash it, however... now my phone won't go into recovery either. When I get in the Fastboot, select Recovery and hit Power, it shows the Google logo and just freezes. For good. So I'm unable to get into Recovery.

(Side note: for whatever reason, I haven't been able to get into Recovery using this method for a VERY long time. I end up having to use Rom Manager to get into Recovery, and it went into recovery every time doing that.)

Any help, please?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ClashOfThe:
Is it possible to clone a sim card and then have say an mda running with one installed and a going out phone with the other.

i'm guessing its possible but am after a step by step if anyones feeling helpful.

I wouldn't want to have both phones turned on at once if that makes it an easier process. Just getting hacked off at swapping sim all the time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NetrunnerAT:
You cant clone a Sim like Hollywood Movies ... not normal Guys like you and me!

Talk with your Provider!

Same have a Service with Master Slave Cards. In Austria you can have 1 numbers and a lot of device they ring at the same time or in priority.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ClashOfThe:
Cheers netrunner. Yep i probably have watched to many films. I tried to call my provider (tmob uk) but i'd have more luck getting into Angelina Jolie's knickers than speaking to someone there with an ounce of savvy.;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] famewolf:
Is it possible to clone the sim...yes...but illegal. You buy one of those 6 in 1 or 12 in 1 sim's plus reader for about $10 on ebay. (oh...only Tmobile still uses the Version 1 sim's that these can clone..everyone else has upgraded to version 2 which is uncrackable currently)

Is it possible to clone the phone..yes..but illegal....the hacking and development board has a thread on a free IMEI changer...you would have to run that and make sure both phones had the same IMEI.

---

Even if you did ALL those things there is no way you could have both on at the same time....every 20 minutes the phone reconnects with the tower...the tower is only going to allow 1 connection at a time so your connection is constantly going to switch from one to the other...and they will notice this and bad things will happen to your account and men in suits may show up at your door. The best you could manage is to turn one or the other on at a time which basically defeats the purpose.

Now go to your provider and pay them the extra for a 2nd line and use conditional call forwarding (forward to phone 2 when phone 1 doesn't answer..used to forward to voicemail normally) to accomplish the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ClashOfThe:
Good thinking

Right with that clever piece of logic i'll try it with a pay as you go sim and forward from the contract one and that should do what i want. (just hope the forwarding charge comes off my free mins);)

Called Tmobile uk who have told me that the call forwarding to the pay as you go sim wont cost any more and will come out of my contracted minutes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gopalgajarao:
My Nexus4 mobile is on android-5.1.1 version.

Today I tried to factory reset my mobile and completed reset.

After reset rebooted my mobile and it went through language selection screen.

Selected wi-fi connection and clicked on next, it stuck on "Checking connection..." screen. I tried with mobile network as well, but no use.

How to fix this ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gopalgajarao:
Fixed this as below:

1. Unlocked my device using fastboot tool from Android SDK.

2. Installed "Nexus Root Toolkit" in my computer.

3. Select "Sof Bricked/Bootloop" radio button for "Current Status".

4. Click "Flash Stock/Unroot".
[Elephone P8000] antemannen:
This is just ridiculous. My P8000 charging time is something like 12-14 hours no matter what charger or cable i use.

Im on ROM 20150725 and i just so amazed how slow the charging time can be. I also unlucky to have the first batch where there is no LED.

Amazing how this company can mess things up. So far i can say that this will be my last Elephone.

Does anyone else have this problem or a soultion that i can try?

Thanx
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Mine only takes that long when I'm using a 2m usb extension cable else it takes about 4-5 hours. I would say you must have a fault if you have tried several different chargers and cables as no way should it take as long as that. Where did you buy yours?
[Elephone P8000] kezmdor:
I am using a 2.4 amps charger with 1.2 m USB cable and charging from 40% or 50% to 100% takes about 2 hours. I did not use the Elephone charger at all.

You may have a faulty device and should contact your distributor. I don't think this is normal behavior.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
I timed my last charge and it took about 6.5 hours from 30-70%(with 2m extension + 1m cable with a 1 amp Dell charger) then another 2hrs 7mins with an original Samsung 0.7 amp charger to do 70-100% - I also have one of these 2.4 amp charging hubs but I think the p8000 only draws a max 1 amp current so not sure how long it would take on the hub(which I normally use for my Yoga pad and other bits and pieces.
[Elephone P8000] morrig:
Fix for slow charge for me was to wipe cache.
[Elephone P8000] C4RL0:
P6000 Pro 2GB - switched off - took 18 hours from flat to 27% last night until today. Previously thought charger to blame so tried another. It appears battery must be faulty (initially okay, but poor battery life).
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
A 3M cable on a 1A charger is not what speeds charging up... Try and use short and good quality cables.

And a 0.7A charger is way to small. Imagine you phone needs juice as well and when you do some stuff on your phone your charger output is reduced. And I bet under heavy use there won't be more than 0.2A per hour going into your battery with your 0.7A charger.

Try 2A chargers.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
I actually don't mind the slow speed if I'm charging overnight, most I've got out so far is about 1.4A on my hub with good quality 1m cable.

My issue with rugged case or flip cases for Oneplus two is they make the already bulky phone even more bulky and to be honest two is a stone should not be damaged easily

Some people need rugged protection. I used to work outside in rough environments. It would be stupid of me not to have a rugged case in those conditions.

Yeah fair point but I'm thinking nothing could beat the protection of a flip case.. An otterbox has the fatal flaw of not protecting the screen.. Undeniably the most important part.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
Personally I would give the root bounty to Kingroot if they gave us the keys so we could root without having to be connected to the internet.

Root on Demand, even if it is temporary is better than permanent root in some respects.

If we had permanent root some of the phones features would stop working like My Knox Security and Samsung pay and some others apps won't work with root but they will work with Kingroot.

The two problems I see with Kingroot are First, Security, we don't know what information we are sharing with them. I don't like being connected to their server with a rooted phone.. And second, Reliability, they could shut the whole system down any time they get ready and we would have no recourse.

If the Kingroot team would give us the keys and the source code so we could understand how to roots our own phones, I would agree to give them the bounty.

I only speak for myself and do not represent anyone connected to the Root Bounty for the Verizon Note 4 on XDA.

P.S. I have updated the updated the first and second post at Kingroot on top of My KNOX, Working Great! !
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] elliwigy:
whats the point of this post? They tell you what information they take and what they do with it already.

Why release their source so others can take it and make their own root tool without need of info and with supersu thus eliminating the need for their tool altogether?

Not to mention the universal exploit doesnt work on all devices so surely they have other root exploits available in those situations that some of us dont need builtt into the app.

And lastly, they alreafy released the recent exploit and how to do it at blackhat so devs can already make their own root tool using the same exploit as king root as it is.

I don't know about giving them the bounty for the info, but I'll never root my phone using such a sketchy method, temporary, permanent, or whatever else.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] elliwigy:
lol the op of this thread clearly uses king root as do many others.. but luckily everyone can make their own choice.. i for one dont mind at all and nothing negative has happened to anyone at this point by using king root minus a few apps dont work with their binaries.

no one is going after ping pong root which obviously works in a very similar fashion.. your device needs to be supported and you have to download the data off the cloud as well as they use the same exploit.

From the website http://www.kingoapp.com/faq.htm

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
Then you should NEVER root your phone! Don't you realize that rooting under any method leaves your phone open to be hacked? There is no such thing as safe rooting. Even with Chainfire's Supersu...if you want your phone secure you need to root, make the changes you want then unroot quickly. It is also true that rooting via an unknown source like Kingroot or any of the other methods that have passed through in the last year or so, is even more dangerous..all of those requiring internet connections to root? It is a question you always need to ask yourself...how bad do you want root and what are you willing to risk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
there's a slight difference between being open to a hack and being connected to a hacker's server with a rooted phone. They have your ip connected. What more could they ask for?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
So does every site you go to and all apps that transfer data online..including games that keep track of high scores. Do you have the source code for all of those? What if they check for root then alter your phone? If you are going to put on the tin foil hat...go all out. Rooting is very dangerous.

But you are right to be wary of these Johnny-come-lately root methods. Again people should consider heavily how much are they willing to risk by rooting...even more so that which requires an internet connection.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
Don't all changes to the system need to be allowed by the superuser app? Also I use Adfree Android. It provides a hosts file that blocks you from going to all known malicious websites. Doesn't that give at least a pretty good measure of safety. And what about antivirus?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] KennyG123:
There are ways around that...especially if it is an unknown superuser app...we have some faith in Chainfire and his Supersu catching all requests..but as the OP stated...how do we know with unknown quantities how well their app catches superuser requests. Like rooting in general, exploits in apps can be found too. This makes you think then...what if the source is posted? Will that make it easier for hackers to find back doors?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
Yeah I'm sure you're right. Isn't hacking something that antivirus providers are working against? Or maybe there's a firewall or a sandboxing procedure that could help?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
The sandbox is to use the "Personal" side of My Knox Security as a Playground as described here

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chevycam94:
To my knowledge, NOBODY has rooted the Retail 910V on Lollipop yet. Not even KingRoot. And by not releasing their root exploit method, we are locked into sending them our personal data, just to have root.

Ok, so if the exploit is already in use, why bother using KingRoot at all? I'm just having a hard time pinning down a reason why there is a need for KingRoot, if exploit apps that use the same method, already exist, and DON'T need Internet connectivity.

I'm not bashing anyone here, just trying to close the gap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] elliwigy:
because outside of kingroot no knowledgeable dev has exploited same exploit and made their own tool.. kr is the only one currently..

im not smart enough to make my own apk so im not saying its easy but exploits are available

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tbtaf:
Seems to me that someone could make an apk that would run on startup that utilized the root exploit. Then we would have temp root, but it would restart everytime we reboot our phone. You could have a toggle to shut it off on next reboot too. It wouldn't help with xposed, but it would sure make the process a lot easier, and no internet required.
