Hi
OK I'm fed up of not having the ability to delete or create files on my SD card.
I have an European 905 model and I want to root it. I'm new to rooting so this is all foreign to me, however, is there a good guide to root a P905?
Plus if I ever want to unroot, how do I go about it?.
Thank you

Google Towelroot, it's easy to use. Just install to your tablet like any other app and press "make it rain".
This works only if you haven't updated your device to version which got this vulnerability patched.
This also shouldn't burn your Knox warranty. At least it didn't for me on my P905 and Note 3.
Thanks, how do you uninstall this towelroot if I sell my tablet in the future and how do I patch my tablet so I can delete the files from my SD card please?.

After rooting, install SuperSU, I think you can un-root your device with that and do factory reset. But I think best way is to download your firmware from Sammobile or so and flash with Odin if you want your device back to stock. This makes your device be like it's never powered on before - since it's completely stock, all root modifications and so are gone.
About deleting files, you should be able to do that just from stock file manager app?

Thank you Spere, the reason why I want to root is that I use my tablet as a comic reader and comicat can't delete the files, or Diceplayer for video. As for superuser, what do I need so I can allow apps to delete files as normal.
Can I ask please which firmware do you choose from Sammobile, I bought mine from the UK but its originally from Spain. So can I choose a UK firmware?, plus how do I flash with Odin.

Open dialer and type *#1234# and you should see AP, CP and CSC. This is firmware you are curently running and this you should download. In case something goes wrong or you want your device back to stock, flash it. There are tons of guides how to flash with odin.
When you are rooted, there are several apps to fix that extSdCard writing problem HERE is one, an HERE a lot more.
If you haven't ever rooted a phone, or flashed a ROM, you should really read a lot before doing anything, just in case. So you know what you do and why you do, and still if something fails, you know how to recover your device.

Yes.
1. Download - install - run Towelroot (Reboot your device after that if it does not do that automatcally)
2. Install SuperSU (This is superuser management tool - no app can use root acces if you don't grant it through SuperSU, so no app can do bad things to your device without you knowing. When SuperSU asks for updating binary, choose default method (if this hangs for like 5mis and nothing happens, just reboot device and take a second try) and if it asks about disabling KNOX, select yes. Then reboot device.)
3. Install extSdCard fix and run it (grant permission when SuperSU asks it)
4. Reboot - DONE!
Remember that by rooting you void your device warranty and you do it by your own risk. You also can brick your device if you are messing with system files or root apps.

Well, Knox warranty is kinda different thing, but Samsung have been using it deny warranty repairs - in some countries, some not.
Towelroot shouldn't void your Knox warranty, since you have P905 which uses snapdragon processor, but no one can promise it to you. I've used it two times with no problems, and many other have also used it, but there's always a risk. Read more about towelroot from its own thread (Google towelroot xda).

Hi guys since today im a proud owner of a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 stock 4.1.2, but now comes the question, is it possible to Root it without flashing anything?
I only need root access to install a few apps, FolderMount, Titanium, Root explorer, etc.
I own too a Galaxy S2 that I rooted by the method of "rooting without flashing unsecure kernel" is it possible to apply the same method to the Note 10.1?
THANKS for any help given.

Welcome to the club. Take a look at all the sections for the tablet and make sure you read the stickies too.
Method #2 and youl be good to go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152
I had already read that stickie and if I have correctly read, Method 2 (and the others) involves Odin and flashing something and that is what I dont want.
Isnt there a way to root without flashing?

Let me ask you this, why no flashing? As far as I know it's either Odin or flash. You need to get a custom recovery on it in order to root.
---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
Also with the s2 the recovery and kernel are in one. This is not.
Thanks for your help and time spent helping me, but I think I will pass the root on the Note, I thought there was a more easier/safe method like that on the S2.
Thanks

There was an Exynos exploit method but Samsung patched the security hole a few updates ago.
The method in the link that was posted does alter your flash count and that can be correct but you are the owner of the device and if you are not comfortable flashing you tablet I wouldn't.
I have flashed mine and tried a few rom's but I always ended up resetting my flash counter and going back to stock.
Folder mount works great and that was the reason I rooted in the first place but you can store your files on the ext drive and transfer them back and forth manually but I found with my fast wifi I'm better off re-downloading the data along with "Helium - App Sync and Backup" to backup and restore my data and you do not need root, only draw back is that you have to have a computer connection for backup and restore to work.
.
Yes, its just a matter of not feeling confortable, and there is also the risk of blocking the camera. (had a similar issue with 4.1.2 on S2 needed to downgrade to 4.0.4).
But it seeems to me a bit odd that to grant root access we need to flash the rom.
I don't think you read that right. You're not flashing a ROM, just a custom recovery through ODIN, then a root app. It's actually very simple. (Any simpler and I would be concerned about rogue app exploits)
Fyi: I'm also new to Samsung devices and bought my tablet this week. Rooted it this morning by following the stickies, but sticking with the stock ROM for now. I'm more than happy with the tablet so far.

There is no flashing a rom with method 2. You Odin the custom recovery then you have to flash the superuser into the system. You need superuser to get root and Odin is the easiest way.
Trust me we have all been in your shoes about being nervous, I've been doing this a long time and this method is really easy.
You can also use this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002
It does require ODIN but as has been stated this is the norm. You are not replacing any kernels or flashing another rom, you are just adding the root components. Using this method also leaves stock recovery intact...
If you woory about flash counter then run triangleaway after to reset the flash counter and recoveries....
I found doing this, doing a factory reset from settings then reflashing the Stock rom using Mobile ODIN pro gave me a stock standard, but rooted, rom with all statuses "Official" and 0 flash count....
A lot of work I know but then worthwhile things generally require it...
Ok, I followed the Method 2 made everything like on video, after pressing Power+Volume Up, I entered on STOCK Recovery, not the CWM,even so, I apply the .zip and I get:
MANUAL MODE
--Appling Multi-CSC....
Applied the CSC-code:LUX
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
--Install /sdcard....
Finding update package....
Opening update package....
Verifying update package.....
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:signature verification failed
I also retryed and turned off auto-reboot in Odin before starting the process but I get the same thing, now what should I do?
Its not rootable?
Ok, Its finally rooted, What I had to do,
On Odin unthick auto-reboot, When Odin finished doing its thing, dont shutdown the Tablet but press Power+Volume Up and go directly to CWM recovery and there follow the rest of instructions.
Thanks to everybody that took time to help me, thats why I love this forum.
A BIG THANK YOU.

I see that I'm probably too late now to answer the OP.
But maybe others can be interested.
I find that the easiest way to root (without odin and without installing a custom recovery) is Framaroot.
It uses some Exynos exploits, and has been also recently updated by the developer to counteract Samsung's patches.
It may work or it may not work on some devices and with some of the more recent firmware.
In any case giving it a try doesn't cost anything. It's just an app.
If it works the app can also be used to temporarily remove the root.
For me it worked with Firmware N8000XXCLL3 and I know that it works with some more recent fw too.
Furthermore it doesn't change the counter and even the Devices Status remains "Official". Well, actually the devices status may change to "Custom" after few days with the tablet on, but it returns Official after a simple reboot.

I would use the touch cwm, and what rom are you trying to install?
FINALLY SUCCESS !! This is how I did it. Download ->..*Kingroot 4.5 apk*.. After you install is press the circle button it will then root your Tab.. But then we need to get rid of Kingroot and all of it dependencies. What you want to do is download busybox install, open and grant root access to busybox through King root, make sure to hit the install button at the bottom of the busybox app . After that go to play store download *Supersume*..... Yes Supersume! After you install Supersume open it it and click on the button and it will install Supersu with the binaries updated and uninstall all of King root dependencies for you. Okay now we have supersu installed, now for the tricky part. You do not want to reboot your phone or you will lose supersu and have to start from the beginning. I repeat do not reboot your device yet... Go to play store download and install Flashfire apk by Chainfire and then go to XDA Supersu tread by Chainfire and download the latest flashable Supersu.zip.. Okay now that we have those two things, go back and open up Flashfire app and look for where it says OTA firmware / zips click that button and look for your Supersu.zip that you downloaded from XDA click on it an hit the check mark at the top.. Now look for where it says *Ever root* click on that make sure to hit the check mark at the top. FIND reboot and make sure that normal is checked click on the check mark at the top and that will take to back out to where there's a circle and lightning bolt Press that... Flashfire is now flashing the new Supersu. Zip for you and also inject root into your system via Ever root.... Once it reboots you will have the latest supersu and be able to reboot without losing root. This does not trip Knox.. Have fun and hit the thanks button if it helped. But please give thanks to those who made the apps King root, Supersume, Busybox, Supersu and Flashfire.. Because without those Developer's this would not be possible..
I can verify this roots the t217a. I had to unmount my sdcard and do the flashfire option to get su to stick but it did and does work. Hopefully we can get a recovery and toms now. This is a nice little tablet for free since I use it tethered through tmo and got it as payment for moving files from one laptop to another with a usb stick lol
If you havnt checked yet KNOX is still intacted.. So it doesn't trip KNOX. Which means warranty is still available if your still covered.. Also, I'm going to message Chainfire to find out if it is possible to create a Odin flashable Backup using some of the file's I have from my Flashfire Backup.. If it is possible we will have a way to recover from a boot loop or a softbick for that matter.. If so I will Experiment with flashing T-Mobile or the International TouchWiz Custom Roms using Flashfire.. I have two AT&T note 3's and I have had success installing T Mobile and international roms on both devices, if I'm not mistaken even a few Sprint custom TouchWiz Roms work on those phone's.. We have everything needed to have a Custom TouchWiz Rom except a restorable Backup.... Keep your eyes on development for this tab cause if I manage to get one to Load an that Runs well I will ask permission to post their Rom with a how to for At&t Tab 3...
Thanks for the hard work, if I can help please let me know.
Hey is there anyway to get 442 to directly save to the external sd card with the os as is?
I think I tripped Knox. My tablet boots up with the Samsung logo and "CUSTOM" underneath it and I can't find anything Knox related in settings now
No you didn't trip Knox... Mine also had the Custom pad lock when booting up.. If you would like to get rid of it just download and install xposed framework. After you install it open the xposed app and look for downloads, there you will find an app called Wanam Xposed. Open that app and look for security hacks, click on that and you will see where it says firmware status official or custom make sure its check marked. That will make your firmware official and get rid of the padlock after two reboots. If you would like to check your Knox you can download Samsung Phone Info apk I use the plus version but the free one should have you're Knox info also. Hope that helps.
Ok cool. Is there a recovery yet?

As far as I know, the bootloader is locked so there won't be any custom recovery unless that is unlocked.
Hi . I present new method to get Root with last build of KingRoot . Main advantage is KNOX 0x0 . And then if you want you can to change him to superSU .
Get Root without a computer, on any version of Android, you can use the latest (4.62 as of this writing) version KingRoot. Complete information here KingRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 . (Read required).
So what we need to do to get Root .
Download the installation program KingRoot v.4.62
Attached below .
Turn on : debugging via USB, boot from unknown sources, and Wi-Fi.
Then install and run the program Kingroot. You make a couple swipe up and click on "Try". Next, the program also checks the possibility of installing Root , and eventually appear at the bottom of the key "TRY TO ROOT". Hit it, and wait patiently for the end of the process. Screenshots are in OP KingRoot thread .
For T337A owners : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64747325&postcount=14 and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/rooted-nk2-att-t377a-t2992639
If there is a need to replace Kinguser to superSU, it is easy to do using the Super-Sume http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954 . Working version 9.1.9 SuperSU Me-Pro .
For 5.1.1 owners you must to try Super-Sume build 9.2.6 or above . Notice for 9.2.6 build :
SuperSU Me Pro v9.2.6 Patched
What's New
- Please leave a review, I need to hear from you
- Updated SupeSU to v2.52 to support newer Android builds
- Hopefully this will help with Stage 2 hanging for some users
- Kingo root users, on Stage 2 the app might hang, just force close it and run it again..
- Watch for SuperSU to prompt you for root access at re-launch
- Yes you will now be prompted for SuperSU to update binaries, just choose Normal.

Fyi, I just ran this on my verizon tab4 10.1 lte (smt537v) and it worked after first reboot, but after running super su me and rebooting, it is stuck in a boot loop. I can still get into download mode so I should be able to flash a factory image through Odin when I have a computer in front of me as long as the computer will recognize the device. So be careful because I followed the directions correctly and ended up screwing things up

Thanks, I may need some help if the computer doesn't recognize the device because of debugging or the bootloop it's in. Before I rebooted, it was in debugging mode but I'm not sure now. I've been playing around with Samsung stuff for a while now (rooting, flashing, some build Prop editing, etc) but I'm no pro. I pretty much just research and follow directions. I'll find out if I need help when I hook it up to the computer. Thanks again

What can I do to root it?
My Samsung Galaxy S7 replacement arrived today. SM-G930F (UK) 32GB BLACK
- I wanted to remove the bloatware, followed a tutorial: https://theunlockr.com/2016/09/04/remove-bloatware-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge/
- I then installed ADBoot, USB drivers, etc...
- However when using Odin3 to flash the 'Rooted Boot Image' it got stuck in a boot loop with the message KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING.
- I kind of gave up rooting it by this stage, so I then figured I'd have to reinstall firmware md5 as it was corrupted? So I download the standard United Kingdom firmware 'G930FXXU1DPLT_G930FOXA1DPLT_BTU' Nougat mdf (as seen here) http://www.droidviews.com/download-official-android-7-0-nougat-firmware-galaxy-s7-s7-edge/
It seemed to work fine, except the keyboard was a little glitchy (the same letter would repeat itself when typing an email to sign in to on Google Play, fixed by removing predictive text). I eventually got all the apps set up etc, however finally to get a tapping on service provider brings up 'KT twophone service' and when I tap on it, it crashes. However my phone seems to be working fine with my service provider Giffgaff... so I'm very lost but feel sketchy about the whole this.
Does anyone have any idea what exactly caused this?
I had that problem too. It might be down to the firmware you have. I downloaded one and had that problem, so found another BTU firmware
Make sure you flash the 2 files that look like these.
Using ODIN
Flash CP (Your filename will look different).
CP_G930FXXU1DQC2_CL443934_QB5909108_SIGNED.tar
Flash CSC
CSC_OXA_G930FOXA1DQB1_CL10422490_QB12282417_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
Failing that, also flash BL
BL_G930FXXU1DQC4_CL10422490_QB12768203_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
(You might have to re-flash TWRP and Root if you want them.)
Do not flash HOME CSC
HOME_CSC_OXA_G930FOXA1DQB1_CL10422490_QB12282417_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
Also, wipe, factory reset. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I managed to Flash AP, CP, CSC, and BL. That's where I went wrong. All tutorials seem to only state AP forgetting everything else, must be unique to Samsung?
Anyway I got it working. Problem is that with a rooted phone Snapchat and Pokemon Go don't work, they can detect the root. I got a workaround working for Snapchat but not Pokemon.
So I decided it's not worth the effort rooting the device and just went back to stock... I imagine more and more apps will detect roots in the future, it will be more hassle.

If you use Magisk root, it has a facility to "hide" root from apps.
I've attached Magisk to this thread. Place in the root of your internal SD and then flash Magisk-v12.0.zip - the other file's use is obvious

Yes. Don't bet on a 3 legged horse. You'll probably lose
Glad to be of service. :good:
So do we use UK firmware in USA for g930f
Hi Guys,
Yesterday I updated my phone via Odin to Oreo, but unfortunately samsung health says that my phone is rooted and it is not working anymore. ( Of course my phone is not rooted, I used stock firmware)
I think the problem is I used different region code firmware. Am I right? How can I use the app again? Wait for my original country's firmware and update via Odin would be a solution?

It detects Knox is 0x1. To fix this you must root your phone, go with root browser to the root of the device (/) then /efs. There you'll find a file "factory.prop". Open it and add there "ro.config.tima=0". Then you can unroot/reflash stock ROM and s health works

thanks for your quick reply, Is this a permanent change or can I fix this by flashing my phone's original country firmware?
Actually I don't want to root my phone as it has warranty till the end of this year..

Check in Download Mode, if it says Warranty Void 0x1 then it has at one time either been rooted or had custom flashed to it, in which case Warranty is void anyway and you might as well root

It is still 0 (0x0000)
What about to downgrade back to Nougat? Will it work again?

I thought your knox was 0x1, but in this case try just to wipe data of S health

not working... I did full wipe
Googled it and everybody recommends to root the phone in case of above S health bug... but I am looking for another solution ... Surprisingly this is the only app which thinks I am rooted...
Found it. I need to flash all components not Just AP in odin
And it works?
Yes! It is working now. You need to flash every stuff from the downloaded zip. Thankfully SamMobile attached everything you need.
:good:
As I see a lot of people facing this issue,and all "expert " recommends root. But there are other options too.
Anyway, thank you for all help

Experts recommend root if your KNOX is 0x1 because that is the only solution, if you fail to read up on how to flash firmware and end up with a problem because of your own fault, and fail to mention in your main post that you didn't flash the firmware correctly, we are not psychic, we can only go on the info you give us
Next time, learn how to flash firmware the correct way first

That's true, that was my mistake... in good old Times as I remember only AP was included in the ZIP,and that was enough.

Yep, with my S5 that was the method, but instructions for S7 are under the download on sammobile's site and all over this forum
As a rule when I get a new phone I spend a good few weeks reading threads before I attempt anything, even a simple stock flash, saves possible bricks and other problems like this one
Anyway good it's working again
I have the exactly same issue knox is 0x0 but Samsung health isn't working, can you please explain the exact steps about the following message how can i run Samsung health in g955u secure folder is also not working
Yes! It is working now. You need to flash every stuff from the downloaded zip. Thankfully SamMobile attached everything you need.
