Hi all,
I just finished testing the new method of rooting using new SuperSU system-less and it's working well on my P600. I don't have other device to test it on, but if you guys could test it out on your device and report back, that would be nice.
Here how to root using new SuperSU system-less app:
Prep:
1) Download Odin 3.09 http://odindownload.com/Samsung-Odin/#.Vm3AglE1I-Q
2) Download SuperSu version 2.6.2 to your SDcard here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
3) Download TWRP 2.8.7.0 tar file to your PC here https://dl.twrp.me/lt03wifiue/ (you must use Spen to navigate, touch won't work)
For P605 - Please use twrp-2.8.7.0-lt03ltexx-4.4.img.tar version here https://dl.twrp.me/lt03ltexx/
4) Download the full stock 5.1.1 firmware by download this tool to your PC from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Then use the tool to download 5.1.1 rom (very fast download). set model=sm-p600, region=XAR, put a check in "Auto" and "Decrypte automatically"
Execcution:
1) Use Odin to flash full factory rom 5.1.1 to your device with "Auto Reboot" checked. If you already using 5.1.1 with root, you can just flash over your current one. Your data will be preserved. It's not nessessary to flash the full firmware but it's easier and less confuse. Once completed your device will reboot. Now boot back to download mode.
2) Use Odin to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 with "Auto Reboot" UNchecked. Once completed. Hold Vol up+Home+power buttons to boot to TWRP recovery(do not let your device boot up). It will take a while so just wait. You also will see a red message warning about SEdroid security..blah blah...just ignore it. If you want TWRP touch, you can flash this version zip (can't flash through ODIN) before proceed. https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03wifi
3) Once in TWRP, flash the SuperSU 2.6.1 system-less. Becareful here, after hit REBOOT, If TWRP offered to root, DO NOT DO IT (You will bootloop if you miss this step). Hit on "do not install". Your device will reboot. Done!! This SuperSU will patch your kernel and install root. Once completed boot up and enjoy. Your system is now rooted with TWRP installed. Pretty nice!!
EDIT: You also need to disable "Security change" pop up by remove or use Titanium to disable "Security policy updates" and "SecurityLogAgent". I heard report that if you don't your device may bootloop later on.
