P605XXU1EPD4 & Root Guide & fixes

[alex_72gr]

1. Download latest Firmware P605XXU1EPD4 with SamFirm http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
2. Model = SM-P605, Region = VNZ, [x] Auto, [x] Binary Nature, [x] Check CRC32, [x] Decrypt automatically.
3. Then click [Check Update] and after the file is found: [Download].
4. Unpack the .ZIP-file. Should GET 4 FILES
5. Boot into Bootloader mode by holding Vol Down + Power + Home at the same time, then press Vol up when the triangle appears
6. Right click on the Odin 3 Application file and run as administrator http://odindownload.com/Samsung-Odin/#.Vm3AglE1I-Q
7. Open BL_xxx on BL, AP_xxx on AP, CP_xxx on CP and CSC_xxx on CSC, leave UMS empty!
Make sure that under options only Auto Reboot, & F. Reset Time is ticked
This will delete everything!!!
8. Boot your device, no need to setup at this point.
9. Use Odin to flash CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605 file https://download.chainfire.eu/380/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605.zip
Make sure that under options only Auto Reboot, & F. Reset Time is ticked
The device will auto reboot, and you should see a red android pirate and some commands running
Don't worry if your device reboots a couple of times its normal
10. Use Odin to flash latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 https://dl.twrp.me/lt03ltexx/ in AP Slot with "Auto Reboot" UNCHECKED
11. Once completed do not let your device boot up
Hold Vol up + Home + power buttons to boot to TWRP recovery.
It will take a while so just wait.
BY NOW YOU HAVE A ROOTED STOCK ROM PD4 WITH TWRP recovery, and you may make a BACK UP - If TWRP offers to root, DO NOT DO IT
12. SD card fix
Launch your favorite file manager, like Root Explorer
Navigate to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml (Do remember to backup “platform.xml” in safer place)
Open Platform.xml, then EDIT
Add the below Highlighted code lines and then save the file.
<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” >
<group gid=”sdcard_r” />
<group gid=”sdcard_rw” />
<group gid=”media_rw” />
</permission>
<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE” >
<group gid=”sdcard_rw” />
<group gid=”media_rw” />
</permission>
13. Screen mirror fix
Add "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable" line to \system\build.prop file
14. Multiwindow
a. If you want all your aplications to open in multiwindow: multiwindow commander work perfectly
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ommander&hl=el
b. if you want 4 multiwindows then follow the direction in step 2 of that posting
http://xdaforums.com/tab-4/themes-apps/mod-improve-multiwindow-mode-tab-4-t2996654
just com.sec.feature.multiwindow.quadview.xml is needed to /system/etc/permissions folder, and set their perms to rw, r, r or 644,

hello,
i have the LTE version and had trouble doing this step:

10. Use Odin to flash latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/ in AP Slot with "Auto Reboot" UNCHECKED

so the solution for me was, i used this version of TWRP (dl.twrp.me/lt03ltexx/twrp-3.0.2-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar.html) and voilá, works fine.

thx a lot for this!
