Tab 4 comes with kids laumcher. Why not just use that? There is not even any custom roms for the tab4 yet.

Just for the eye candy. My intention was to get the Tab 3 Kids Edition but when I got to Best Buy they were out. The person who helped me mentioned that you could download from the playstore other launchers, I checked those as well and to be fair with Samsung they did a great job with the Kids edition, non of them were even close to the UI of the Tab 3. So now I'm stuck with a Tab 4 that has a Kids Mode that sucks.
No. You flash you brick
Ok, so I bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251696257910?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It said that it is T-mobile version, unlocked and rooted. (I am from UK btw)
before, I started this thread because I was suspicious that it was fake - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/fake-note-3-t2930662
Now my question is where do I start with it to put custom roms on? At first when I got the phone I checked with app called "Root checker" it said that it is rooted but now after Samsung update I think it was, it says "Sorry! This device does not have proper root access"
Also I am not sure where to start because of the weird kernel that is on the device.
I attached some screens about the info I gathered about the "Note3"
ps. I have rooted my galaxy s3 in the past but that was from scratch..
Well, there are like 7 million tutorials on the web. So go ahead, you have some reading to do.

Yes, I know but I don't have any idea what kernel I have I don't think it's a standard one.. And when you look at recovery it looks messed up as well. doesn't it?
Can I just put CWM recovery on as it is?
Why at first it said it was rooted through "root checker" and why now it says what I mentioned earlier?
are SM-N900 / SM-N900T / SM-N9005 the same or they are have different, specific roms for each, and should different files be used for each?
Hey guys
I don't know, if someone also did the same thing, but I think this thread can be pretty useful . Since our device is official supported by great developer @Chainfire I would share the Auto-Root file with you, that you don't have to search for it

YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY. KNOX WILL DISPLAY 1 INSTEAD OF 0!
It will install the Super SU app as a system app, trigger your knox and will successfully root your tablet
For those who aren't very familiar with rooting and things, you have to do these things:
1. Switch off and then boot your Galaxy Tab S in Download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, home button and then press the Power key to boot the phone. Press the volume key again to confirm booting into the Download mode.
2. Now in Download mode, connect your Tab S to your computer with Odin running on PC. Odin will detect the device and show you one the ID:COM boxes turning blue.
3. In the Odin box, click on the PDA button, locate and select the .tar.md5 file that was extracted from rooting zip file downloaded earlier. Make sure Re-Partition checkbox is not selected. Click on the START button to initiate the installation.
4. Once the CF-Auto-Root is successfully flashed on your Samsung Galaxy Tab S, it will reboot automatically. While rebooting you will see a red Android bot which means you have successfully rooted your tablet.
If you want to have a video review of how to do it, just watch this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZqdKNya81g
It's for the S4, but it works all the same with our Tab S.
The official announcement from @Chainfire is here:
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices (Galaxy S1, S2, S3, S4, Galaxy Note, Note2, Note3, dozens of Tab models, etc!) and has clocked over 22.5 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter and trips the KNOX warranty flag!
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.

Added a short video review. It is for the Galaxy S4, but all the same things for our beloved tab S!
corrupted file?
Hello,
I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-chagallwifi-chagallwifixx-smt800.zip on both my Linux and Windows boxes and this appears to be a corrupted file. Can someone verify my findings?

Yes. I was going to report back! The smt800 file is corrupted. Hopefully he will get it fixed!
The zip file for SM-T700 is also corrupt...
Yeah some files are corrupt. Can you just post the direct links to cfautoroot? The cfautoroot site works just fine as it doesn't need a mirror. Thanks!
Will fix that later!
Added all autorootsfile in one folder on mega!
Just checking if this works with the Sprint Tab S (SM-T807P)? Didnt see it listed.

Sorry, isn't supported yet... I think this one runs an Snapdragon 800? This will need other autoroot files than all exynos powered devices

There isn't even firmwares for the device. That's probably why it does have root yet or it could be the chipset.

nope... the bootloader is locked... all US variant device does that...
Closing this thread in favor of the already running thread over in general.
Tkkg1994 - your post is genuinely appreciated, and admittedly is easier to read than the stickied thread. Perhaps so your work doesn't go to waste, offer to work with the OP of that thread to improve it overall? This is one of those things that doesn't really need more than one thread, and in that case, the original thread gets the nod. Either way, please keep up the good work.
Hey everyone, I just got a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 inch yesterday from T-Mobile, but i'm having trouble finding a custom recovery and custom rom for it.
Can you guys help me out?
I managed to get it rooted using Chainfire Autoroot, but while I keep trying to install TWRP, it just loads into Download Mode and says "could not normal boot".
Any help would be appreciated.
If anyone can, please link me to a TWRP Odin Flashable that will work and a good custom ROM, thanks!
I've looked around some when I got my tablet a few months ago. Sorry to say, I have yet to find a custom ROM for this particular tablet.

Hi All!
I didn't see any thread yet for this phone, the Samsung Galaxy s5 NEO (SM-G903F).
Here you can share your experience and tips and tricks.
Unfortunately I didn't see any root for this phone, as well the custom roms aren't there.
So if you have a trick to root it, let it know in this topic!
I have this phone since last Saturday, till now I'm happy with the phone. I installed nova laucher on it, because it works better.
Can't wait to install a custom rom on it, with stock android.
Is this maybe something that can help? Also a Exynos processor.

I need root for the same reason indeed, let's hope there will be a method soon.
Any idea where we can request it?

Someone posted request on Chainfire`s SuperSU thread, maybe he will notice
Step 1. Go into settings and enable installation of apps from unknown sources(settings>security>tick unknown sources)
Step 2. Go to https://towelroot.com/ and tap the brown lambda symbol to download towelroot app
Step 3. After download completes open the file, the android package installer will appear, press install
Step 4. Open the Towelroot app and press the "make it ra1n" button
Step 5. Enjoy your rooted S5
Last time I checked towelroot didn't do the S5 Neo... has this changed?
--EDIT-- Checked... it still does NOT support the S5 Neo.

Can someone confirm this? I don't own the phone so I can't try it myself.
Towelroot won't work for 2 reasons: its made for Snapdragon CPUs and it was only could be used on older versions of Android (KitKat).
Hmmm... Still need to look for another sollution than

hopefully we will get a alternative rom and root soon!
I've checked last week towel root and I confirm too that it does not work. Later I'm going to post here 2 pages that show how to root it but 1 one of them at least, I think is something like a fake because I don't trust pages requiring to complete surveys for files downloads...
The other one shows other methods but I tried some of them without success....
Maybe someone can do it.
By now my new s5 neo continue waiting for a root working method....
I've too much apps that need root access like titanium backup or xposed for example, and without all of them, my I9100 with resurrection remix last rom is by y now still being a better useful phone than s5 neo

I was on these sites as well, they're look kinda shady. Because you have several sites with different names, but the same lay-outs.
I don't trust these sites.
Maybe it's an idea to spam Chainfire's his topic? Because someone already asked to make a root for the s5 NEO in there.
drippydh said:

DO NOT - repeat - DO NOT go on that survey site publishing an alleged S5 Neo root: it is a scammer.
I already confronted him directly, he also posted a video where he shows that he can download the APK file after submitting a couple of surveys but it is fake.
He's the only one claiming to have a rooting method (isn't it strange? and so soon?) and when confronted directly about his peculiar way of allowing download he hides away... DO NOT trust that, he has NO ROOT whatsoever, just a bunch of ads to make easy money.

Do not try the second one either have read of some people that allready tried all of them (on the site itself 3 people allready say it ain't working..) but didn't work! And there are only 2 reasonable options 1 is king root and the second is idd chainfire. But the second one i don't think we should spam his topic just like the post where the one guy is asking about it!

If you try the newest version it will say that there is no means to root. And you can request for them to research it like i believe 30 have done this according to the app. The more people who do this the more they'll think people actually want this.
