Hi, I'm super new to this I have no clue what I'm doing, but I did manage to follow the instructions of http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-twrp-t800-t3079488 and get my t800 rooted.
Until problem occurs, at http://techbeasts.com/2015/05/01/root-twrp-recovery-galaxy-tab-s-84-running-lollipop-502/ step 9 "Once it has booted up, check out the SuperSu application in the app drawer. If it asks you to update SU binary, update it." When I open supersu app it only ask me to follow someone on google+ but didn't mention anything about update, couldn't find an update option anywhere in the app either.
I ignored this potential problem and then downloaded rootvalidator, everything was green only busy box was yellow and SELinux was blue saying something enforcing, I don't have a screenshot but these 2 were the only one that's not green. I installed busybox free and got busybox in rootvalidator green (from yellow). Not sure if the enforcing part was an issue so I left it like that.
So I use this guide to root t800 is to use xmod, and XMOD actually have their own tutorial on how to root and install and get it to work etc. just didn't have one for this model. I think I made a huge mistake of following their guide after this one, and got mislead not knowing wtf is going on..
I installed xmod and found out it isn't working, I installed kingroot from within xmod app and when I opened kingroot it shows my tab is already rooted. So I was sure it's not a rooting problem, I then found out xmod isn't working because SE is enforcing and I followed the video guide (from xmod faq) on how to make xmod work on enforcing device. I downloaded Link2SD and clear data+ unistalled xmod. But I also clear and unistalled kingroot (and kinguser i think?) and another app that came along with kingroot when i got it (It was in chinese)...
After this I lost root access and when I check rootvalidator it show my device is not rooted anymore. When {I click on supersu it asks me to update normal or from twrp/cwm...
Everything seem to be a mess so I'd like some advice is it better for me just to restore everything back to factory settings and root the device again? Sorry for this long and noob post I'd really appreciate if someone can help me out. Thank you so much!
Hi there
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device there in the device specific forum you already founded:
Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
[ROOT][RECOVERY] [ALL IN ONE] Cf-Autoroot-twrp-T800-T805-T-700-T705 [Tab S 10.5/8.4 ]
Good luck
Greetings! I need assistance rooting an LG Optimus F60 that has been tinkered with before. What I mean is, I had a guy unlock my phone since I switched carriers, and if I recall correctly( though not very sure) he used a few apps like kingroot to gain permission to unlock the device. He did not root the phone though, and I want to root it now(several months later).
The problem I stumble upon is that flashing SuperSU zips did not work. I have the app, but the binaries could not be pushed. I have tried manually pushing the binaries, but I was denied access...
I hope someone understands my problem and is able to help. I am more of a PC tinkering guy, never got into "hardcore" android customization, but I would really like to install apps on my sd card.
Thank you for reading, It should be solvable, and also sorry if my issue is common and/or has been posted before, I tried searching, but couldn't find anything(maybe I did not search good enough, sorry!)

Thanks for dropping by, I have tried the guide you linked to me, but I couldn't get it to work. When updating the binaries, SU gives the error "Installation failed. Please reboot and try again". Root checker says I don't have root access too. If you want to assist me whist i'm trying this again, or have any other solutions, feel free to add me on skype (s1ckzombie)
Edit: If I access busybox installer, it says i'm rooted, but I don't have busybox (Busybox location: N/A)
Edit 2: Maybe this screenshot will provide additional info. http://imgur.com/34hnjrP
Edit 3:Turns out I had my device on MTP, will try again on PTP
Edit 4: Doesn't work even with PTP turned on. Bummer
Edit 5: Doesn't work even with the one click application... The one-click app outputs a succesful root but my device is still not rooted... I tend to believe that it's not my fault by now
I found a solution for rooting my D801 running Android 5.0.2. I used KingRoot to gain root access and then Super-Sume Pro to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not installed TWRP because I am going to stay on stock. It was difficult to find a one-click solution so I hope this helps someone else.
Kingroot has worked for me, too. Nothing else worked, no matter what I did. But Kingroot works great! Thanks for posting.
I have tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, and LGOneClickRoot. None of these worked. I'm particularly chagrined over the ioroot failure because ioroot is listed in the Cyanomodgen installation instructions.
I have not tried Kingroot and am hopeful it's the answer to my prayers.
Could you please confirm your T-Mobile Lollipop software info with mine to make sure we're on the same page? Many thanks.
Android version: 5.0.2
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: D80130c
Woohoo, Kingroot does indeed root the phone. That's the good news.
Now for the bad news. Super-Sume Pro does NOT remove KingRoot v4.8.0 (latest version). I like having a rooted phone, but I don't like having Spyware running on it that chews up bandwidth. How do I get rid of this thing? Brute force delete of binaries?
UPDATE: I got rid of KingRoot via method 2 at https://www.droidmen.com/remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/. Unfortunately although RootChecker claims the phone is rooted none of the apps that need root can find the su binary because the SuperSU installation failed. Effectively the phone is un-rooted since apps requiring root are inoperable. So back to square 1. It's a big steaming pile of you-know-what.
UPDATE: I retraced my steps and re-ran the shell script of method 2 above. This time it worked. Kingroot is gone, SuperSU 2.49 is installed, and the phone is rooted according to root checker. The phone seemed strangely unstable for a while, but seems to have settled into normal behavior. Don't know if that was a consequence of this procedure or is possibly a hardware problem (battery?). Will keep a close eye on it, but for now all the apps that need root have it. Contemplating the installation of TWRP via GooManager, but that's not a high priority right now.
If anyone reading this is a bloatware removal expert (especially with regard to LG & T-Mobile) I'd like to hear from you. Tools that I've seen mentioned in this regard are Titanium Backup, System App Remover, and Clean Master.
Guys, just followed nbi1's method and finally got this working! Thanks!

Did you by any chance install TWRP? If so, how did you unlock the bootloader? I'm looking for a pain free unlock. Held out hope for FreeGee, but despite claims to the contrary this app doesn't support many G2 variants such as mine, the D801 30c (T-Mobile).

Don't try it with Flashify. It'll destroy your recovery. Before trying any custom recovery make sure you have the stock kdz on hand so you can flash the stock recovery if need be.
UPDATE: I was able to flash the stock recovery.img. Of course that doesn't help as far as TWRP is concerned, but at least you wouldn't have a totally munged recovery on the phone.
UPDATE: Was able to successfully install TWRP using Autorec after figuring out that the SuperSU "Mount Namespace Separation" setting needs to be cleared/unchecked.

Thanks for the info. Did method 1 not work for you though?
So I finally tried to root my phone. Tried the LG One Click Root first and as posted here it did not work right. I have now SuperSU on the phone but I can't grant root to anything. Rootchecker shows no root. Now I tried Kingoroot and SuperSU asks to grant access but I can't confirm it. Looks like I have to first get rid of SuperSU? Stuck here not sure what I need to do the get rid of the butchered SuperSU install. Any tips?
Can someone point me to where I can get the AutoRec version that works on D801 Lollipop?

I was able to do the same using KingRoot-4.1.0.249-release-nolog-201505211812_105241.apk and Super-Sume-v9.1.9.apk
If KingRoot tells you "Unable to get root strategy" or "Failed to acquire cloud issued Root strategy", try to reboot once or twice before trying anything else!
I have a phone with a tiny market (SGHITECH EX-SG001), and there are no available rooting softwares/guides around. I've been trying to find different methods to root it, and most methods I've found seem to require root access already (eg editing the boot.img file), or use a toolkit of some sort.
I understand that the bootloader is unlocked, and the kernel is insecure. It uses an ARMv7 processor, running 4.4.2, and does not have any custom recoveries that I can use. Will be using the su binaries and supersu apk from chainfire. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
You are right, I don't see any custom recoveries for your phone. In fact, you seem to be the first to ask about this device. So you will have to use a toolkit.
Here is a good start:
http://www.xda-developers.com/root/
I would recommend documenting your progress in a new thread in the following forum:
> General discussion > Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking
...this way, your fellow users can find you, and hey, they might have some wisdom to share. Please note, you will have to be registered for an XDA account before posting there.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Thanks! I tried the toolkits there already, except for kingroot which I have my reservations about because of some concerns raised in the thread. Is there any manual way to root without using any toolkit?

Hello again,
Some toolkits (like SafeRoot) are scripts run from the PC end, which can be analysed at every step. I wouldn't mess with any of the steps, except make sure SuperSU (or at least some superuser app) was there as a gatekeeper. It just allows for a sort of quality control in the end.
In the end, rooting methods are now complicated enough that it is easier to push them out by a script. So manual ways are a lost art.
Hope this helps.
Title says it, apologies in advance for my noobiness on the entire topic of rooting. Got lucky and my previous device was supported via kingroot. Just looking for SuperSU permissions so I can enable my hotspot really.
This phone is through straight talk btw. I've tried Kingroot, iRoot, and quite a few others to no avail. I don't currently have internet due to me moving to the butt-crack of nowhere, Tried srsroot but seems like it interferes with USB tether and says it's successfully rooted but nothing happens upon reboot.
Anyone had any success with this? Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Please help for the love of god.

CF- Autoroot might do it. I see that it works on other variants for the J7. Here's a link with CF-Autoroot and detailed instructions. Hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes.

Is this your first time rooting a device. after srsroot says successfully rooted did you verify root by going into playstore and trying a root check app.

I tried srsroot 5.1 multiple exploit and it said rooted. I open root checker and it said phone wasn't rooted. I also tried dr. Phone and they didn't have a working root method for j7 sky pro and i was desperate enough to try king root. None of these worked. The guy than mention c.f. auto root, thats for a version of the j7 that was released in other countries. Those variants of the j7 have exoynus processors and us version have snap-dragon processors so the root procedure might brick your phone.

When ever I get some free time I'm going to try using adb commands to try and root.
Hopefully not too much longer before someone can root this thing... I'm also looking!
wondering if anyone has seen this video or tried it??

I can't open the link but all the videos iv seen on YouTube seems to be j700's and other variants not for s727v.l From my research the devices are a listed under samsung j models but the they all have different hardware, i.e. boards, processors, chipsets,. I did a cross referience with cf-auto root to try and find a divice with the same hardware and builds, there wasnt any other device with the same hardware that would suggest compatibility. Cf-auto root flashes a root file to your device and if it's not compatible you could completely brick your device
Hello, First of, you shouldn't have used kingroot whatever the situation was
However https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo&hl=en
download this and capture the system and device tray
Yeah but it was worth a shot. I figured if it worked I could replace it with superSu. I will post those specs In a few. When ever. I get time and free WiFi in going to try adv root
System and device
I'm going to try adb root method when ever I get the time
Trying this again. I try posting last night but it didn't go through

Hello,
It did pass, however, your device seems to be a Verizon varient, it's hard to root it and there is no really a method to root it.
Sorry I couldn't help

Verizon bootloader is most of time locked you can't flash it.
I may have a method for rooting s727vl. I can't test until I get home where I will have unrestricted data in case something goes wrong. I'm gonna keep this short and simple assuming everyone have
knowledge of using odin.
Developer option usb debugging oem unlock no frp or passwords
Download odin
Download latest superSu, this isn't the same as superuser in the playstore. It's used for rooting systemless root os. Yes that what marshmallow is.
After downloading supersu place it on your phones sd card
This is what I'm not sure on. Download clockwork mod RECOVERY. Zip , not the one in the playstore. And place on pc
Use odin to flash cwm to s727vl
Please refer to guide on installing cwm
After flashing cwm go to it in recovery mode and use cwm to flash the supersu zip file and reboot phone. It could take a few minutes but it should boot with root access. Or wait for auto reboot.
What I'm not sure on is cwm compatibility with s727vl, I couldn't find a yeah or nay on compatibility. Cwm say it's compatible with any android.
Hopefully this will work. Make sure u have your data backed up and your stock rom in case things go south. If anyone try this please let me know the result. I'm anxious to try it but I travel a lot and I can't afford to have data throttled by downloading everything I need and I can't risk doing this until I'm i get home.

Modt of Verizon phones has a locked bootloader, they can't be flashed with unsigned images
