So I am having an issue locating a root method for my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 MM (6.0.1) Running version PD3. I have seen @koop1955 's method but I am having an issue. His tut. has a link to a TWRP file for zeroflte rather than zerofltespr. I have not seen a updated kernal to auto root on other threads either. I was looking into using CF Auto Root and was looking at it but i'm afraid to flash it via odin because the build ID is for PB6 rather than PD3. In about device my device shows up as a G920P.02. I need help either finding a root method that works and the appropriate TWRP file to flash (I think it is this one) or someone to clarify any of the methods I have stated above if they are safe and what files should be used.

I currently just got the sprint samsung galaxy tab 3. When I activated it, it updated to 4.4 kitkat . I cant seem to find the root method for 4.4, can anyone help, I just flashed the old method and it obviously isnt working.
I am also having this issue. I just bought the tablet (SM-T217S) and updated to 4.4.2. I flashed TWRP with Odin and then flashed armeabi universal root through TWRP as per these instructions. I see SuperSU in my apps but it crashes on start. Apps that require root don't work also.
I need root so I am willing to downgrade Android for it but I would love to have root on the stock 4.4.2.
EDIT: Found the solution. Follow the instructions found here (same as above), then flash the SuperSU update attached here with TWRP.

Hello All,
Need some help. I have a GT-N5120 (Note 8.0 LTE) with the latest BTU firmware n5120xxdod1. I searched all over the internet on methods of how to root this build but to no avail. Can anyone suggest a method on how to root this latest firmware?
Thanks.
Have you tried flashing supersu from recovery? This may also work with Odin: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Managed with your suggestion... although I had to root it twice before it worked properly since the 1st root still blocks SuperSU. thanks
I have a galaxy s6 carrier is sprint and the model is SM-GP920P I want to root it. I've tried kingroot and kingoroot none have a root for my model. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the safest and easiest way to root my phone maybe suggest some custom ROMS for it that work well.

Odin. Flash a custom root kernel.
HI, I got my son a wifi P600 note 2014 for his birthday a while ago, and it came with kitkat on it, so i was able to update it, install twrp, and root it. Now i bought another one for my girlfriends son, but his came with 5.1.1 LMY47X.P600UESDPL1 already on it. I cant find any information on whether or not i can install twrp, and then do the cfauto-root just like i did on the other one. Has anyone out there done this yet, or is it pretty safe to try it and i can fix a brick with Odin? I've been a Motorola and HTC guy, don't have the whole Samsung thing down yet.
Thanks, Mark
If CF has LP on autoroot website its good.
That exact version number of 5.1.1 is not on the autoroot website. But I believe the update on the tablet was just some security updates, so I thought mAybe auto root would still work. But if it don't work will it just fail or will it brick it. Can I use Odin and a stock fw file to at least get back to stock from a brick?
Just reread what you said, and now I'm thinking your saying that as long as Cf-autoroot page has a 5.1.1 lp version for the p600 it will work on any 5.1.1 update of the p600?
Why not just do it the old fashioned way? Flash twrp using odin and then directly boot into twrp and flash the latest supersu binary from the chainfire's website. I just did this with PL1 firmware and everything is running fine. Installed busybox, fdroid and adaway eveything working just fine with root permissions
Just so everyone knows it did work rooting with cf-auto-root , then I was also able to flash twrp with Odin. Everything is working great.
Hey I have the same tablet and version but new to this topic and don't know how to root my tablet. I'm searching for a guide for my device. Do you have some tips? Or maybe will explain how you did it?
As mentioned, my SM-P600 needs root access.
I just flashed it with Stock 5.1.1 --- P600UESDPL1_P600XARDPL1_XAR from SamMobile (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116316/P600UESDPL1_P600XARDPL1_XAR/).
Is it possible to do it on this specific firmware? Or do I need one of the custom ones?
Any official firmware version would work.
This device is the easiest to root out of anything I've ever owned. Just flash the appropriate SM-P600 version of CF-Autoroot in Odin in the AP slot. There is a thread in the main forum with everything you need.
If for some reason it doesn't work on the first try, try it again. Last time I rooted mine, it worked on the second try but failed on the first. It also may reboot once or twice before the rooting process is complete.
