Hey guys
I don't know, if someone also did the same thing, but I think this thread can be pretty useful
. Since our device is official supported by great developer @Chainfire I would share the Auto-Root file with you, that you don't have to search for it

YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY. KNOX WILL DISPLAY 1 INSTEAD OF 0!
It will install the Super SU app as a system app, trigger your knox and will successfully root your tablet
1. Switch off and then boot your Galaxy Tab S in Download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, home button and then press the Power key to boot the phone. Press the volume key again to confirm booting into the Download mode.
2. Now in Download mode, connect your Tab S to your computer with Odin running on PC. Odin will detect the device and show you one the ID:COM boxes turning blue.
3. In the Odin box, click on the PDA button, locate and select the .tar.md5 file that was extracted from rooting zip file downloaded earlier. Make sure Re-Partition checkbox is not selected. Click on the START button to initiate the installation.
4. Once the CF-Auto-Root is successfully flashed on your Samsung Galaxy Tab S, it will reboot automatically. While rebooting you will see a red Android bot which means you have successfully rooted your tablet.
If you want to have a video review of how to do it, just watch this:

It's for the S4, but it works all the same with our Tab S.
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices (Galaxy S1, S2, S3, S4, Galaxy Note, Note2, Note3, dozens of Tab models, etc!) and has clocked over 22.5 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter and trips the KNOX warranty flag!
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
Happy rooting guys, if you have a problem or problems, just write here in this thread, I will answer it if I can (and I will!) :highfive:
