Which SuperSU version for BMJ9 ??

I have just received my SM-P605, the firmware is P605XXUBMJ9 Android 4.3.
I would like to root it but I have one question: along this thread it is mentioned to use the latest SuperSU: SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
But there is a newer one: SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip mentioned in the routing procedure for the SM-P605 running KK.
Which one should I use ??? :confused:
Is the R5 only for KK ??
Thanks in advance.

I have successfully rooted my SM-P605 using the given procedure +SuperSU + Busybox +xposed
Everything works great !
I didn't upgrade to 4.4.2 as I have seen some people complaining of various problems.

Could someone please confirm the possibility to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 in case of problems if I do the upgrade :confused:

towelroot works on older 4.4.2 releases. Personally i use NEE (P605XXUCNF2) correctly rooted.
isn't possible root 4.4.2 firmwares released after june.

Possible to downgrade to 4.3 with ODIN (without trip KNOW)
:good:

Towelroot just rooted my SM-P607T. Knox Warranty Void remains 0x0. Android 4.4.2.

SuperSU has issues. Won't download / install the binary. Says "Installation Failed!" even though apps are requesting and I am authorizing Root. I installed SuperUser by ChainsDD in the meatime.

I installed Wanam, enabled 4-way reboot menu. Working lovely.

Gotta hand it to GeoHot.

Completely confused by your language... The title says "4.3" and then you mention Andriod 4.4.2. Clearly its the latter...you may want to update that, as I'm still looking for either an Australian STOCK ROM of P605 on 4.4+ (which doesnt exist yet on SamMobile), or a rooting method that ACTUALLY WORKS on 4.3... Why the f**k is that not on XDA? Extremely surprising...

Note 4

Hi all

I have just rooted P605 4.3 BMJ9 with TOWELROOT by Geohot, Note is rooted and Knox is 0x0. Root problem solved. It was released today for S5. According to Geohot, it should work for several android phones. I have not tested it on 4.4.2 but it's likely to work. I will use Mobile Odin pro to update firmware to 4.4.2 and then flash bootloader separately just in case.

PS: I was on 4.4.2 NEE but downgraded to 4.3 NEE and then back to my region BMJ9 BTU.

Here is the xda thread:

Use SuperSU from:

Thanks a million Geohot!!!

Edit: Towelroot works on 4.4.2 NEE. Rooted and Knox 0x0.


It works on Galaxy note 4 ?

Hi!
i bought a P605 ...i didn't know the problem with extsdcard..
I tried to root with towelroot but it said me is unable to work with this tablet. I'm afraid to root it by an other way.

Hi

Towelroot works for P605 with kernel made before june 2014. Your kernel is feb 2015 and it's been patched by Samsung.. You need to downgrade to stock rom with kernel made before june 2014 (possibly downgrade your 4.4.2 to 4.3), and then use towelroot to root the device. It's possible to upgrade back to 4.4.2.

P605 4.3 Root TowelRoot

Hi all

I have just rooted P605 4.3 BMJ9 with TOWELROOT by Geohot, Note is rooted and Knox is 0x0. Root problem solved. It was released today for S5. According to Geohot, it should work for several android phones. I have not tested it on 4.4.2 but it's likely to work. I will use Mobile Odin pro to update firmware to 4.4.2 and then flash bootloader separately just in case.

PS: I was on 4.4.2 NEE but downgraded to 4.3 NEE and then back to my region BMJ9 BTU.

Thanks a million Geohot!!!

Edit: Towelroot works on 4.4.2 NEE. Rooted and Knox 0x0.

    SuperSU has issues. Won't download / install the binary. Says "Installation Failed!" even though apps are requesting and I am authorizing Root.

    Try the latest version from Chainfire's site - http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip Open or extract the file and go to the "common" folder; the SuperSU apk is there. I had to do this for my Note 3.

    Well that is a damn shame.... Are you running 4.4.2 or 4.3 hawkeye680?

    'Should support all phones < jun 3 2014'

    "if this doesn't work on your phone
    e-mail my gmail geohot+towelroot
    with "adb logcat" output and build
    and we'll see what can be done"

    Perhaps we can get a few logcats going and see if he could add support for the Exynos or Galaxy Note 2014 at some stage...

    Stock 4.4.2. Sorry, I don't know how to do a logcat. I've rooted my OG Droid, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Vzw Note 3 though so I can follow instructions if I can find some.

    Gotta hand it to GeoHot.
