I sold my p905 a while back, going to get a p900 however, the biggest factor is able to delete files on the sd card. I know I have to root it, however, from what I read there's issues and you can no longer root it?.

I love how that guide says all variants and then makes no mention of the P907. I would love to be able to use a custom recovery. Unless the P907 falls under the LTE moniker even though the model number is different?
Yes, TWRP works with P900
I went through this a week ago (with some help) and once I figured out how to get TWRP 2.8 to flash using Odin the process of rooting and installing a custom rom was easy. There is a thread a little lower on this forum that goes through the process.

Since there's this thread... How about KNOX? Is there a way to root P900 without tripping KNOX flag? I don't care about KNOX software itself, but since here in Poland warranty problems are left to the decision of the service, it is quite important for me not to give them opportunity to refuse a repair (if something happens, which - I hope - never will).

Are you having problems or just too afraid to try it?
Not sure if you realize this but one of the reasons people aren't answering you is because those of us who have rooted do so and never look back. I wish I could tell you for sure that it will work with the current version of the firmware but I cant . . I rooted 8 months ago and haven't looked back. I cant speak for others but I'm not about to flash stock and go through the whole thing again just to update an old thread so I suspect that this is part of the reason that there's no updated guide. For devices that get a ton of development things are different but this niche device doesn't have a flurry of development activity surrounding it so . . .
One thing I can say is that it is my experience that if CF Autoroot fails the worst thing you're left with is a tripped knox and the stock rom without root. I say this because I was one of the unlucky ones who had to struggle through multiple attempts to get CF Autoroot to work. Eventually it did but during that time I had multiple shots at it and each time I was able to at least recover to the point of getting stock OS and recovery working again.
I see no reason why you can't achieve root on a SM-P900. If you can't do it with CF Autoroot then just download one of Gatsrom's images of stock rooted, flash TWRP using Odin (with auto reboot option disabled), boot into TWRP and do a full wipe and flash Gatsrom's image. You'll lose your setup and apps but you'll get root.

Well said mate! Well said.
If someone's gonna root their tablet, especially one of this caliber & price point. Then they should know how to recover it back to stock on their own. Concerning the tripping of Knox, who cares! Samsung won't turn down a hardware issue covered under warranty just because you decided to load another ROM. That topic has been discussed to death in another thread. If your going to root this thing, then root it and live on! LoL ?
Developers don't need no stinkin' signature!

What answer are you expecting? I know that sounds incredibly criticizing, not my intention, I promise. I got a laugh. I'm just saying think about it.
My advice though is to watch someone do it on youtube. Even if not for your phone it will help give you an idea of the steps needed and about how long it should take (very useful if something goes wrong and you find yourself sitting and waiting and worrying about how long it is supposed to take)
If you can be patient and follow steps, I'm sure you can. Everyone has a first time.

Yeah that's the first thing I did before I decided to post. I always try to do my research before finally asking a question. I read that rooting is different for all phones so I thought why watch a process if it's going to be different from what I will actually be doing it will kind of confuse me even more. Also I search on YT and there were only 2 videos that I found for this phone and both were for version 2.3.5.

You might be surprised how few people research anything before posting. There was a post last week about a guy who bricked his sgsii by flashing a file for a lg Optimus. Then got mad when people said that was stupid.
You're already ahead of the curve with what research you've done.
The nice thing about odin is it's samsung specific software. There may be different details for different phones, but how you connect the phone, the file type you choose, and buttons you do and don't select will be the same. If ever in doubt ask a question. Silver03wrx is easily one of the biggest helps here, much less the rest of the community.
Just know that for now, there's no way to root without tripping your flash counter.
Sent from my páhhōniē
So there is no way to root without modifying recovery? I would like to preserve my ability to update ota or potentially reverse the process.
You can follow those insruction with odin. The after you flash the superuser zip you can flash stock recovery tar found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943.
And fyi anytime you odin the stock firmware .tar it takes u back to complete stock . Beware though in order to be able to take ota updates u can not delete bloatware. Just freeze it. You need stock recovery and bloatware intact/frozen to be able to ota update
so with a fubar'ed flash counter, i can still receive ota updates? also, will this custom recovery alter my efs folder at all?
All u need to do is have stock recovery and all bloatware to recieve an ota.
Thanks again for your help. This is not the case with my captivate so I was a bit concerned.
Sorry for posting this, I hate starting new threads but I have come to a point where I have had no luck. I havnt rooted for a few years, last time I did was my S2 (Epic 4g Touch 2). My terminology might be off a bit I apologize in advance.
So a couple days ago I decided to root my S5. I was at NK4 stock and never rooted. So I attempted to flash to the NE5 so I could do the towelroot. That worked where I was able to get root and I got all those weird fail messages but I got root access. Then when I tried to go back to Nk4, I kept getting stuck on the boot screen when flashing back to NK4. My phone I would consider to be in a soft brick status but I was able to flash back to NE5 and atleast get to the previous step. Now I am unable to NE5. I try my phone on and it gets stuck on the yellow "Sprint Spark" screen. Somehow I did trip the knox counter, which I am not too concerned with if I am able to get my phone functional again.
Could someone guide in the right direction? Ask me some more questions and I will try to clarify. I am a little rusty when it comes to this stuff again but I have certainly studied everything before I tried attempting this. I used Odin3.09 to do everything.
EDIT: What can I do to start over?
Flash the full nk4 tarball in Odin
Since you did trip Knox you can use cf auto root to gain root
Or even better you can Odin the leaked 5.0 garwynn posted in Android Development. Which also can be rooted with cf auto root

1. I noticed exploits are being patched left and right.
2. Knox is easy to trip now.
3. There are no custom firmwares anymore for Samsung phones.
4. Samsung requests the removal of links on this board constantly.
5. Can't use Samsung pay with a knox tripped phone.
6. Downgrading is blocked in case you have an upgraded phone.
Is this what Samsung forums have come to now? Are there phones out there that you don't have to deal with Knox?
It seems people don't really care anymore about Samsung phones?

Your question has been asked by many people on multiple forums. Samsung's flagship is great as is, however the software has a few bugs that bother everyone which is why we root. Samsung built knox so there products would appeal to corporate customers. That is why it exists. To say there are no custom firm wares is false. Just read the development forums. Root is not an absolute must, but it is getting harder as time goes on

I obtained root just to prove to myself it can be done. It is not the most important thing In the world. That said, I do understand your perspective. I appreciate the root apps and custom ROMs, and each year root access I harder and harder. Even without root you can appreciate any android device
I stopped rooting just because my Barclay's bank app doesn't work on rooted phones and it's very convenient for me. Also stock android got a lot better and I like it as it is. Also you have theme engines build it now so you can customize your phone without rooting. All that said of course there is some exceptional cases that root is needed, like recently with the new S6 there is no option to choose 2G only network mode on stock rom and I don't know if there is a no root solution for it
So perhaps I am in a shrinking group of people that still needs, or rather appreciates, rooting.
I'm not sure what I can discuss here...
I am switching from my S5 to my new S6 (got it today!) and I need to use Titanium Backup Pro. I am restoring every app from the former to the latter and some of my games aren't... stored on the Google Play store. And I like root-requiring game alterers, unlocking my phone to be a hotspot, and simpler things like using Coolify, Root Booster and Root Explorer, among others.
Now I've tested my ability to transfer everything over from one device to another (my tablet), so I know it will work. I just keep reading more and more about KNOX (which I successfully avoided on my S5) and how it's unavoidable on the S6. How you can't rollback to an earlier version of Android (since I got my phone today, I'm assuming I have 5.1.1). I don't care about Samsung Pay. At all.
Is it advisable for me to root? If I have 5.1.1, CAN I? I read that PingPongRoot won't even WORK on 5.1.1! What am I to do? Or does no one care about rooting anymore? Is anyone devoted to resolving these issues or did everyone shrug and go, "Eh."?

-_- 5.1.1 is perfectly/easily rootable just by flashing a custom kernel. And if you looked in the development forums you'd see there's plenty of devs that care as there is plenty of rom and kernel development going on.

First thing I want to say is I appreciate root just as much as you.
Secondly, PingPongRoot is incompatible with 5.1.1, but depending on which variant you have,
you might still be able to root or roll back to 5.0.2
Which variant do you have?
Two years ago I would not have dreamed of using an unrooted Android phone, but Android has come a long way now. I have been using my old Note 3 and my current S6 unrooted and I'm not missing root at all. Most of the reasons why I would root are available now without root.
I also enjoy unprecendented stability on my phones. No more flashing untested amateur stuff that fixes one thing and breaks 10 other things. So the answer to your question for me is, no, it's not worth rooting anymore.

I appreciate your response. I have been looking at the development forums. I've been reading all kinds of threads and I guess I just find it daunting. I'm kind of in my own head about how I'm going to do all this and it SEEMS there are so many restrictions on what will work with what (moreso than used to be), incompatibilities and laser-focused restrictions.
I typically feel confident about these things, but when I start reading the various threads, I feel like a n00b. I have to ask because, as you've seen here, I convinced myself out of the possibility of rooting.

Good to know. Possibly. Thing is, I haven't activated my phone yet (and I just got it 5 hours ago) because I know it will deactivate my old one and I'm still doing Titanium Backup to Dropbox. And I'm just incredibly terrified that I will lose the ability to do something that requires my old phone to be active. I don't actually know what that would be, but that's just me.
So, I don't know what variant I have yet. I will report back on that. I should be ready to activate by tomorrow morning.
And thanks for the response. Whether you think I'm an idiot or not (goes for you too drock212), I'm glad I'm not alone in figuring this out.

I do not like to ever use the word 'idiot' on XDA.
Newbie is the more appropriate word to use on these forums since 'idiot' is disrespectful.

KNOX & many other apps can be made non-functioning with the Google Playstore app:
"Package Disabler Pro".
It is very easy to follow or change any of their suggested recommendations.
Settings can be saved or restorded to or from .xml files. Password protection is possible.
Worthwhile.

No... I... feel really dumb right now. Rooting has always been so easy. My build just WAS fine.

Also wondering if downgrading my build will trip KNOX, for which PPR is specifically made to avoid.

This is great. I had found this thread, but didn't know if it applied.
And I already installed PPR, it just told me when I clicked "Get Root" that my build wasn't supported. Is there some close cousin of my build that would be "correct" to change to? Like the closest build name?
I have: G920PVPU1AOC9
On the list of approved builds, I see, for example, G920PVPU1AOCF.

Since your build number is for the Sprint variant, downgrade to the earliest build there is for the sprint variant.
If it is listed on the PingPongRoot thread, install it. The one you just mentioned looks like the one to use. Try it.
An update: Worked beautifully. Laterally changed my build from G920PVPU1AOC9 to G920PVPU1AOCF - success!
Installed PingPongRoot - success!
And everything followed... Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher, etc.
Last part is kind of important, though. Tried to install Modded Google Play Store. Failed. Did research and found out I need Xposed to install it.
So I install Xposed (I already had a backup). It tells me my framework is outdated. So I do some more digging and find out I need a special version of Xposed for Lollipop, which I get and install. There's a .zip that I have to flash via recovery in order to make Xposed work which would make Lucky Patcher work which would make the Store work.
Flashing the zip requires TWRP or CWM recovery. Can I install either of those without tripping KNOX? This is getting way too complicated. I mean, logically, I would think that since I have PingPongRoot already, that I'm good.
hello, I wanted to ask something to the person who be root. I read a lot of thread and coments on youtube´s videos about a lot of people, and i read 6 or seven persons/users that root there phone a time ago and one day wake up ( Example) and theres phone has soft bricked and they has to re flash the stock version via odin again.
I wanted to bee rot but I fear that tomorrow (example) I will wake up and i have to re flash the rom and i lose everything on my phone storage.
Can someone give me your opinion ? and wich method use for flash supersu ?
thanks you so much !

First of all why did you open up 2 topics that are the same? And if you search for root on this forum you will see lots of topics so do some research and stop acting like a kid.

Root without tripping root? You mean knox! Try search the s7 forum for root and do some reading. No need to ask when there are so many topics bout this.

If you root correctly and don't mess with things that go outside of your knowledge, you should probably have little less chance of waking up with a bricked phone.
Things start to go bad when you touch things you shouldn't touch.
Good day.
Recently i rooted my phone, 5 day after i bought it. Installed TWRP and Xposed.
One and a half day after,without any reason, the phone started to bootloop. Without thinking, i sent the phone for warranty. 40 days later the same phone came back from Samsung, they repaired the phone without charging anything, as i am in a country that Samsung has to repair it even with knox tripped.
I asked here at XDA if it was root that bricked the phone and the response was that most probably it was Xposed or a module that made that, and i could repair it at home.

its sound so good that Samsung repair the phone even with knox tripped .
and about Xposed, i dont interested in install it, i wanna just delete some pre charge apps and flash volumen mod. nothing more
NOTE: Wich metod do you use to root ? thanks you
For now i have not rooted my phone,and i froze all my bloatware with an app called "ez disabler". I only miss root because of titanium backup and Lucky patcher.
Good day
Sorry, i did not see the NOTE part.
I rooted my phone through TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770).
I don't know if there is any another way.
Can I still root the latest build number NRD90M.N920TUVU4EQG3 for the T-Mobile Note 5?
My overall goal in rooting is to revert back to MM. Honestly I hate Nougat and the battery life has dropped significantly so I'd like to flash a MM ROM. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section or has been asked before. Just looking for some help. The research I did only showed how to root Nougat but didn't specify the particular build number. I forgot to ask also if Odin is the ONLY method I have to root? I've run into issues before with Odin. Just curious if there's another method for rooting.

You don't have to root to revert. What I did was put the phone into download mode and flashed the MM Rom from QC2, I believe, or whatever the version was from samfirm which is deprecated now. Just remember to have the OEM unlock enabled and USB debugging enabled in developer. You should be able to then use Odin to revert. If it doesn't work then you can try and root the phone using the root QE1 method from the posts in the T-Mobile note 5 thread and follow the guide. I can't say for certain if you can downgrade straight from an unrooted 7.0 rom to an earlier 6.0.1 MM rom in Odin. But what I do know is this. I came from the Khongloi v11 rom and decide to do something stupid.
"After unwittingly turning off OEM unlock and USB debugging and rebooting phone. I lost all my data. Stupid me. I got so used to quick rebooting and all of sudden decided to do a hard reboot, *sigh. Oh well, you live you learn. Just remember if you do root. Leave those options on. Never, ever, ever, ever disable OEM unlock. EVER."
Anyways, try downgrading in Odin 3.10.7 or if you have trouble with any newer Odin versions. If you have trouble with the newer versions, use an older version. If you can't downgrade directly from that rom, might have to try another way.
Thanks for the reply and advice! But just making sure though for general root purposes: I'm able to root the latest build number?
Try and see. I'm actually on the same firmware and haven't tried yet. I'm still considering if I should root again. I miss using game guardian, especially for LDoE: Survival.
I'd do it but I'm nervous I'm gonna mess up my phone. I was hoping someone will chime in and let me know it's good to go lol
No worries. You can't, because Odin will give you an error message if the firmware doesn't allow it. Kinda how it was in previous revisions. I've tried on purpose to brick my device. The only real way to brick a device is to do something super, super stupid. Try, the only thing that can result is you get an error in Odin and it fails.
The reason I say this is because I tried to use Odin to flash Nougat onto my Verizon S7 and I honestly don't know what the hell I did but it continually bootlooped to the point where I couldn't get it in recovery or anything. It was messed up. Had to send it in for another S7 which I sold and got a Note 5 lol. Needless to say I'm a bit nervous to use Odin.

Honestly, bootloops can be fixed. Either thru the recovery or by download mode. It must have been something else you flashed. But if you decide to try and root and Odin doesn't take, then you haven't done anything to jeopardize your phone.
