awesome sir :good:

noob question
Can I just install root update using stock recovery mode without installing CWM ?

You cant.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hi, is there any data loss with this procedure?
Does the CWM Recovery use any space on the device or card after?

Hi There,
It goes all well for these steps..
How to root ?
-Open Odin 3.07.exe
-Put your phone into Download Mod
(Power button-Home button-Volume down button,at same time)
-When you enter in Download Mod, you should get blue box on Odin 3.07
-Uncheck Auto Reboot option
-Go to PDA and find your recovery, then click on OK
-After you checked everything click on Start
-It should take around up to 30-40 seconds
- When its finished take out battery, put it again
but after putting battery back in.. i cant seem to get in CWM it just get stuck on Samsung Galaxy Screen where it shows model of the phone which is GT-I9105P. And after waiting for 5 min it automatically reboots and phone starts normal. And if i try to goto CWM it takes me to stock CWM.
Any help?
Thanks alot in advance.

great!!! since you can enter download mode I am gonna say you the easiest way to get your phone back in running condition..
*Download ODIN (google for the download link or search here in forums)
*Download a stock firmware from samfirmware (www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647 and extract the downloaded file to .tar.md5
*Install samsung USB drivers.
*Get your phone into Download mode and connect it to PC via usb cable.
*Open ODIN and check if the com port section and turned yellow(this means your phone is recognised by ODIN).
*Once the port section is yellow open the PDA section in ODIN and point the downloaded stock firmware in it.(the firmware file should be of format "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5").This format is just for example and it may vary depending on the stock ROM you dowloaded.
*Click the start button.
*Once finished the ODIN com port section will turn green and should report "PASS"
*Disconnect your phone and Power on.. wait for some time as its the first boot so it will take time so be patient.

tweeks are to to edit your build.prop and CWM(ClockWorkMOD) which allows you to create a backup point which you can restore via recovery and also let you flash ROM,MOD,etc and SuperUser is the app which comes into play after rooting which give root access to your phone/apps.
@themes:since you are on stock you can download any launcher like go launcher from market and download themes from there

I have downloaded the frankenstain rom for flashing,But when I try to enter in recovery mode The screen fades and restarting normally. Is there any other settings for installing a rom..?
BTW when I opens the CWM in my menu it shows 'this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-ROOT v5.0 or newer.It appears you are running on a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.' Is that the problem with the kernel i have rooted..?

To enter recovery mode you should press Volume UP+Home Button+Power Button.press it long enough till samsung logo passes by.. and even my screen fades when I try it manually... try it for 4-5 times till you enter in recovery and dont worry when screen fades,its not an issue...
maybe your kernel is not compatible with the present version of CWM and since its not compatible some features might have been disabled and its no big deal....Custom ROM is zip and should be flashed via recovery so that you can wipe data/cache/dalvik..

Have you properly installed cwm?
You need to press power+home button to access recovery mode..
If u followed correct procedure for flashing recovery, then do what's told above.
For ur info:-
1. OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
2. One Package: (recovery_file)
Do that in odin.:thumbup:

that supersu will work on anything... you just need to flash CWM...
So it must flash cwm first, is it will get yellow triangle and binary counter?
is there temporary cwm?

nope... we wont have yellow triangle or binary counter count... we are not note/note2/s3/s4
Thanks. So there is no yellow triangle or binary counter effect when flashing via odin for 7.7.

i forgot how many times i had flash my device... the counter still said no... so it wont increase... and i had sent my device in its root condition due to hardware failure... twice... the service centre dont even care... :highfive: i flash the latest jb around 7 times already as i experimenting some other device mod that might be compatible with the tab... (yup i'm lazy to do nandroid backup) and several times more as i am perfecting the damn script for making my new deodexed slim version of current jb release... the counter still NO... so dont worry... flash awayyyy...

True. We're in the same scenario and i thought they didn't care at all about users installing custom roms. One time, i go to their shop to service my unit because of software issues. I was surprised that they recommend me to flash my own unit using odin, even my unit is still under warranty. I think they are too lazy to flash a unit that is still under warranty because it covers it all (No pay). Another day i visit their store and i noticed their 2 tabs has Supersu on it. LOL.
This is is my 1st time to use odin pc to my tab. I frequently used mobile odin pro on my android devices. That's right! Flash to the max!

Can someone describe how to root the P6800 with Stock JB in detail? I have tried following the links in the earlier posts, but with no success. I had it rooted with 4.0.4, and need root to get a higher volume.. cwm-6.0.3.0-p6800.tar did not work with Odin. isn't there a zip file so I can root from standard recovery?

why don't you make a package file flashable root (SuperSU + BusyBox) to be more efficient
I have a question. After this root, stock recovery will be replaced by CWM. So is it possible to go back to stock recovery after rooting?? And If it is possible then will be noticeable by samsung if I go to samsung care??
I'm new in rooting....

Yes, You can go back to stock recovery any time you want, just flash stock rom and you will also be unrooted.
Flashing and installing new roms from CWM is different??
Flashing and installing new roms from CWM is different?? I mean in case of installing from CWM, no flashing occurs?? May be its a dump like question but please answer..
1. I want to know the differences between flashing and installing roms from CWM

We flash Stock Rom using Odin and We install Custom Rom using CWM.
Flashing Stock Rom using Odin includes the whole firmware of our phone including Stock Recovery And Installing Custom Rom from CWM includes Only System folder and kernel.

When I flashed CWM now its shows a yellow triangle. So is it necessary to remove using the app before installing custom rom of yours or do that after rom installation???

It's not necessary to remove it, however, it's better to do so before any rom installation (just in case your rom installation went wrong and you needed to take your phone to samsung care/service center).
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and effort!
Worked like a charm!

The problem must be in connection. It is not due to rooting.

Yes, it looks like bad wireless home network. Thanks for the info!
The method is easy and well constructed, but I want to add something else:
I think is better to add in step 4 - Copy SuperSU-v1.25.zip and BusyBox.zip to root of External SD of your Phone
Newbies will avoid to turn off their devices.
+1 thanks or thumbs up or etc. for ya ; )

Xposed is incompatible with the ART runtime. That means it won't work on Lollipop.
This thread doesn't belong in Original development,not even in Android development.

Exactly the same happened to me .... !!!!
samsung bootloop
i followed all the steps here and my phone got stuck on boot logo.
didnt have enough time to find a proper solution except doing a factory reset delete and cache delete.
didnt work out for me so i flashed the rom again and now it's working.
is there any other way to root my device without any bootloops?
@Rando81 @davie088 @username0101

i followed your method and it kinda worked. installed recovery, system re root. installed supersu from play and it asked me to update binary. i accepted but it failed to update for some reason and asked me to reboot. i clicked reboot and got stuck at bootloop. i tried clearing dalvik and wipe data from recovery, still bootloop. so i guess it tried to modify a system file which did it wrongly and caused it to fail. either the binary isnt compatible with this rom, although it was compatible with chinese aurora 5.0.1. for now, im back to aurora. has anyone had any success rooting this? ill try tomorrow morning again. thanks

i dont know bro, it worked for me and some of members as well!
im trying some methods but i cant confirm that it will work with all of you, but try flashing this with odin download
tell me if you rooted your phone!
same problem
tell us if it worked for u
For all that couldn't succeed with the original SuperSU, use this one
Flash from recovery.
Worked for me.
Had the same problem, this is how I fixed!
I followed the instructions in OP, but was stuck in boot animation.
This is what I did to finally get root.
1. Flash CF-Autoroot through ODIN.
2. It should boot, but the SuperSu app is really outdated.
3. Update SuperSu.
4. It should ask you to update the binary.
5. Try updating through the Normal method.
6. For me it failed, and the app told me to reboot and retry.
7. I rebooted the phone, but the phone was stuck in boot animation (just like with the instructions in OP).
8. (Without wiping anything) I flashed Philz Touch recovery through Odin.
9. I downloaded SuperSu app that is flashable through recovery.
10. Rebooted and finally got root!
