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.

Hello All,
I hope every now and then someone still browses through this forum as I understand this phone has become obsolete.
Maybe I'm the only person who still uses the S3 (T mobile - T999UVDMD5). I recently noticed that my android version is outdated (I'm running a 4.1.2) and thus expose me to the stagefright vulnerability. Online check reveals the latest update is 4.3.3 so I hope I can upgrade to the latest firmware for the phone. However, my phone is rooted and I'm not sure if there is a easier way to "flash" the rooted version into my phone or Ill have to unroot first.
I really suck at all these technology stuff, but I'm pretty good at following step by step directions. Do I have to unroot first? How do I unroot? just use that triangle program? would I lose everything? If someone can be kind enough to help me walk through the easiest process I can do to get the rooted 4.3.3, I'd be forever grateful. I did my internet search but still have uncertainties so I'm trying to careful because I'm scared I might accidentally brick my phone, then I will be in a world of pain. lol
Thank you guys for the help! Loves the website and the friendly community here!! Please see below for more detailed information of the phone.

How did you originally root the phone?
If you have a custom recovery and root, you'll need to remove root and restore stock recovery in order to receive OTA updates. If you're not familiar with the process, the simplest method would be to back up all of your data and re-flash your current ROM with the stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin. Alternatively, you could flash straight to the latest firmware from sammobile.com.

I think the original root method was I flashed something with Odin.
So all I have to do is download the latest firmware from smmobile, flash that directly with Odin (without removing root or other procedures), do an OTA update, then find one of the king root stuff to automatically root the new firmware?
Thanks for all the help!
Yes, download the stock firmware from sammobile.com, unzip the file to generate a tar.md5 file, then flash the file using Odin. I prefer Odin version 3.07.
Open Odin, insert the tar.md5 file in the PDA box, uncheck everything except f.reset time and auto reboot, connect phone in download mode, and flash.
After upgrading to the latest OTA update, you can flash twrp for the d2tmo using Odin which will replace the stock recovery with TWRP. From TWRP, you can flash supersu.zip to get root access.
Just FYI, sammobile gives pretty slow downloads. It's one of the main reasons I started the firmware thread to begin with. Check the firmware thread stickied in the development section if you want what is usually a much quicker download. Plus there will be a lot if information there that may answer any questionsyou might have.
Also, if you want to re-root, towelroot is the easiest way by far. I posted a thread in this section with links and info. It's probably on the first couple of pages.
Good luck!

Hello All,
I am currently looking at different ways to try and update my device to dojc or doj7. Right now it is on DOH6 and seems like I have a few random glitches with the way it works and crashes. I am rooted currently with engineering bootloader with a custom recovery. I am thinking of one of two paths and wondering what might be the better of the two options in your opinion.
First, create a firmware file to flash with Odin that does not have the bootload file in it and flash that. Then root the device again the same way I did with the DOH6 root method and engineering bootloader. Stay on that install from Samsung and just root it.
Second, install a custom rom with that new version as a base (I think I remember seeing some stock rooted roms). and then upgrade the modem only with odin. Not sure if there is anything else other that the modem that would need to be updated with Odin.
I am just not sure if that second option would work if the firmware is too different to work with it. Any opinions on which might be the better option? How have you been able to update to DOJ7 or DOJC and root without worrying about Knox? And input would be greatly appreciated.
Couldn't you just flash a custom Rom and flash the new modem with Odin?
Would that work okay guys? I think that should be fine and leave the bootloader on 5.0 engineering and it won't trip Knox.
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.
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?
Hi all, every time I want to either install a custom rom or flash back a stock firmware it is an impossible task. Nothing works from the instructions to the firmware's themselves.
I've had a few custom firmware's on my tab s T705 tablet all of which are garbish and reboot themselves even when doing something simple like watching a video!
So wanted to flash back to stock firmware. However no matter what "stock" firmware you download for your model tablet even from reputable websites either the Samsung logo hangs at the start after a flash or twrp fails to flash a firmware.
Why is is so difficult to
a. Get hold of a stock rom
b. actually flash it and get it install!!!
Ive tried all sorts, wiped the entire tablet in twrp, used odin, used so called "stock" firmware, used and paid for skipsoft toolkit which I highly regret no as its utter usless doesn't do anything it states it does and their help section might as well not exist.
So I have a tab s with nothing on it and nothing that wants to install onto it.
What do I do? as so far its doing really nicely as a f**king paperweight.
That's really strange. I never had problem flashing the stock ROM from Odin on SM-T800.

Seriously mate, don't know what to do, nothing seems to work. No firmware seems genuine. How can I obtain an original firmware without signing up to sites or pay for a premium server to get the file?
Thanks
Currently I wiped the entire system via TWRP except the micro sd that has the firmware zip file on.
This is a recent log from twrp when trying to install a "stock" firmware. Hopefully someone can figure out what's going wrong
Problem fixed. Just kept trying different firmware roms online and found an original 4.4.2 that worked. just updating to 6.0.1 through Samsung updates now. And keeping the downloaded file safe and going to do a android backup dump from twrp once its done.
Thanks
how to mark this thread as resolved?
New issue. All I want to do now is just root the stock firmware to allow me to use certain apps. However every time I try a root either auto cf root, supersu, kingroot. All that happens after flashing the root is the Samsung logo boot loops saying recovery cant enforce in red and blue text.
Is knox preventing it because yet again my tablet does the opposite of what the instructions say.

Try reinstalling the stock firmware, and then install TWRP and get the zip package for SuperSU and install the zip package thru TWRP.
