Rooting P905 noobie?

[rirawin]

Hi

OK I'm fed up of not having the ability to delete or create files on my SD card.

I have an European 905 model and I want to root it. I'm new to rooting so this is all foreign to me, however, is there a good guide to root a P905?

Plus if I ever want to unroot, how do I go about it?.

Thank you

Google Towelroot, it's easy to use. Just install to your tablet like any other app and press "make it rain".
This works only if you haven't updated your device to version which got this vulnerability patched.

This also shouldn't burn your Knox warranty. At least it didn't for me on my P905 and Note 3.

Thanks, how do you uninstall this towelroot if I sell my tablet in the future and how do I patch my tablet so I can delete the files from my SD card please?.

After rooting, install SuperSU, I think you can un-root your device with that and do factory reset. But I think best way is to download your firmware from Sammobile or so and flash with Odin if you want your device back to stock. This makes your device be like it's never powered on before - since it's completely stock, all root modifications and so are gone.

About deleting files, you should be able to do that just from stock file manager app?

Thank you Spere, the reason why I want to root is that I use my tablet as a comic reader and comicat can't delete the files, or Diceplayer for video. As for superuser, what do I need so I can allow apps to delete files as normal.

Can I ask please which firmware do you choose from Sammobile, I bought mine from the UK but its originally from Spain. So can I choose a UK firmware?, plus how do I flash with Odin.

Open dialer and type *#1234# and you should see AP, CP and CSC. This is firmware you are curently running and this you should download. In case something goes wrong or you want your device back to stock, flash it. There are tons of guides how to flash with odin.

When you are rooted, there are several apps to fix that extSdCard writing problem HERE is one, an HERE a lot more.

If you haven't ever rooted a phone, or flashed a ROM, you should really read a lot before doing anything, just in case. So you know what you do and why you do, and still if something fails, you know how to recover your device.

Thank you, hence why I asked here please and plus my english is not very good so hard to understand.

So towelroot then install su user correct?, then download extsdcard to fix it?.

The to uninstall I can use su user or flash via odin back to stock?

Thank you again Spere for your patience and help.

Yes.

1. Download - install - run Towelroot (Reboot your device after that if it does not do that automatcally)

2. Install SuperSU (This is superuser management tool - no app can use root acces if you don't grant it through SuperSU, so no app can do bad things to your device without you knowing. When SuperSU asks for updating binary, choose default method (if this hangs for like 5mis and nothing happens, just reboot device and take a second try) and if it asks about disabling KNOX, select yes. Then reboot device.)

3. Install extSdCard fix and run it (grant permission when SuperSU asks it)

4. Reboot - DONE!

Remember that by rooting you void your device warranty and you do it by your own risk. You also can brick your device if you are messing with system files or root apps.

Thank you, but you said towelroot doesn't void warranty?

Well, Knox warranty is kinda different thing, but Samsung have been using it deny warranty repairs - in some countries, some not.
Towelroot shouldn't void your Knox warranty, since you have P905 which uses snapdragon processor, but no one can promise it to you. I've used it two times with no problems, and many other have also used it, but there's always a risk. Read more about towelroot from its own thread (Google towelroot xda).
