Hey everyone! New member on the forums here, and completely new to rooting.
I got my hands on a Galaxy S5 SM-G9008W (china mobile version) for tinkering, running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and have been trying to find a way to root it. From my understanding, the easiest way to do this is by using Odin and CF-auto-root to flash the device, right? I can't seem to find the correct cf-auto-root file for this specific model. There seems to be one available for android 5.0, but not android 6.0, am I out of luck or is there an alternate solution?
Also, right now, I'm using a mac, would it be necessary to get access to a PC in order to do this?
I have the same issue.
I have the Galaxy S5 SM-G9008W with 4.4.2 android version. I really would like to know how to root my phone.
Can anyone help?

Rooted my galaxy tab 3 7.0 t210 today and it got really slow. I need to unroot it but I cannot find the stock firmware anywhere. Anyone able to help guide me through this? Thanks

There is no reason to unroot until triangle away supports the tab 3 in the general chat there is about 4 links to the section of Samsung's site to get it download the UK firmware and use Odin to flash it or of they have the US version that one as the UK version does not use the ir sensor. But this won't make the tab faster.

Hey did you find a way to unroot your tab yet. I rooted mine and would like to go back to stock rom to return before I can't. [email protected]
Thank You

hey guys, i wanted to update my Samsung Galaxy Note II i317 (AT&T note 2) to 4.4.2 from 4.1.2. its sim unlocked and im using it in UK atm. im not a fan of root and stuff as i can use some apps like my banking apps if i root. so i was wondering if someone could guide me to update to the official 4.4.2 firmware. i looked online to find the file and tru some forums but no luck. the regular way, settings-check for update on phone comes with no results as well
thanx a lot guys
Look here for stock Odin 4.4.2 firmware.

And read the Op for instructions ok.
Hi,
I foolishly purchased the SMP900 (WiFi), only to now find out that Samsung UK feel it's acceptable to leave it on KitKat 4.4.
In light of the fact that it won't be getting Lollipop or Marshmallow, I was hoping to update the firmware myself with a compatible official rom.
Can anyone advise me how I can do this? Can i download a Samsung release and install it? I am not interesting in rooting it or installing a custom rom, mainly because this seems more complicated and I have no experience of doing this.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.
Thanks

Hi Q,
Is it confirmed that the UK will not receive the Lollipop update? I was under the impression it's still coming through. I have been toying with the idea of flashing mine with another European firmware but held off hoping they would release for the UK, if this isn't the case I will flash shortly.
Si.
If you guys are talking about the 5.1.1 stock update to lollipop for 12.2 tab pro(SM-T900), It's already been released check out sammobile for your corresponding firmware update http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
(SM-P900)is the note pro 12.2 also 5.0.2 i believe was released for that if you guys are talking about the note pro, the us cellular south should work for uk.
I have got Samsung tab SM-t113 which is rooted TWRP3.02 installed. Currently it has kit kat 4.4.2 .
It would be really nice if I can get it upgraded to marshmallow.
I will appreciate if anyone can help or at least let me know if it is possible.
Thanks
Yeah, I want to reflash a new rom on my sons tablet, and nothing I find is promising. DM me if you find/found anything.

Not letting me post link. Android 7.1.2. Still testing.
Yes it is possible. There are plenty of custom ROMs and tutorials here or you can search on Google how to root or install custom ROM on Galaxy Tab 3. I have Galaxy Tab 3 8" model and installed XenonHD ROM that I found here.
I have a Galaxy tab 3 (SM-T211M) that I want to install Android Lollipop on, if possible, so I can use some apps on it. Can someone help me out with this? I already rooted it with TWRP, but I can't seem to find an Android 5.1 rom or a tutorial for it that makes me feel sure I won't accidentally brick the tablet.
I appreciate any help.
