Hi guys.
I've got a China-bought Galaxy Tab S (T705C). The current ROM doesn't allow Google Services. Hence, no Gmail, no Google Play store on my Tab.
Can anyone throw me a bone here?
Where do I begin with installing European firmware for the Tab?
1. Do I need to root the device?
2. Do I have to install Cyanogenmod / some other firware loader?
3. Will LTE firmware work on this model? (It's 4G)
Thanks
For reference, would this ROM be correct for the 8.4" Tab ?

1)yes. http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-sm-t705c
2) you need a recovery ( TWRP) to install Rom zip file.
3) If the HW is the same I would assume yes. Does support main LTE frequencies
4) yes, Selamba Rom is correct
:good: Dude, you're my hero.
I'll give it a try.

dqs23: If it will be of help to you - here's where I've gotten so far:
My understanding, to this point, is:
1. I need to install a European ROM to use Google services, and Google Play store on the Tab S.
2. I think that the SM-T705C is the same as the T705, just from China. So, I assume that this ROM (French-based) should work:
3. I'll need a tool such as Odin or Heimdall to install a Root program.
Recommended in the above link is this one: CF-Autoroot
4. Upon flashing CF-Autoroot, I'll then be able to install a ROM manager such as TWRP, from whence I can backup and install the custom ROM.
Where I'm currently hung:
I'm using an Ubuntu 14.04 machine, which can't run Odin.
I don't have a Windows machine, or access to one conveniently.
There's a Java based version called JOdin, which I've used, but it hangs at "Cannot extract PIT file."
Using Heimdall alone, I have the same problem - Cannot retrieve PIT file. (Which I presume is necessary to proceed with flashing the Root package. So, it's apparently an Ubuntu/Heimdall issue, perhaps with this particular device.
I understand it's possible to get PIT files from other means, but I'm a bit out of my depth, and don't want to f*$# things up. So, at this point, I'll probably wait and try to get a Windows machine going, and test from there.
Please kindly add any additional information you find here to this thread.
Thanks for the update emfield.
As this is the first time I'm doing a root everything is very new to me. Luckily I have an expert nearby to consult with on the basics.
What I've done so far is rooted the tablet with cf-autoroot but after installed gapps manager I was unable to download the proper gapps (4.4.1-2) as it gave me download unsuccessful error every time.
I guess what I'm looking for is some kind of confirmation from others how they were able to flash it to a EU rom and the steps they followed.

That will not likely happen as China locks everything down, as that product is actually manufactured in China, it will be fully compliant with whatever regulations exist for those products. I got around some of it by extracting the Chinese Odin image and the HongKong image, then I took the Hong Kong Cache.img and placed it in the new Chinese image.
Doing that allowed me to change the csc to whatever country I wanted, in this case Hong Kong, I was then able to get my news and other things in English.
Use 7Zip to create your new tar image, since it is not signed by Samsung you will trip the Knox flag, you will need to root your phone in order to flash GAPPS. The key parts of the firmware are blocked by the Chinese bootloader so rooting is absolutely required.

Hey Lorin, please let me go back a step with your response:
1) By "That will not likely happen", do you mean it's not possible to root and install a different ROM?
I've found a European-based ROM, based off the stock Samsung 4.4 firmware, which is for the SM-T705. (It's here.)
Are you saying that's not possible / not going to work?

2. Sounds interesting. Can you clarify slightly about the "Odin image"? Is that an image of the firmware? (Same thing as a stock ROM?) And where did you get a HK Rom?
Thanks!

Sammobile.com has all the ROMs, I just downloaded the Chinese and Hong Kong Versions and replaced cache.img in the Chinese ROM with the HK version, that should work using a cache.img from Europe. Odin will work with a tar image without the md5 extension. If using Window, 7Zip will create a tar file
If you attempt to flash any other ROM on a Chinese ROM ex. T705C, T805C Odin will fail and knox will be tripped, you can flash a custom ROM but you will lose the radio, no LTE, 3G or 2G

I see.
Were you able to download a PIT file for the T705C? Linux user here, using Heimdall. On Mac and Linux, we're unable to extract a PIT file from these devices.
2. Regarding "Odin will fail on flashing a non-chinese ROM" - So, supposing I am able to root and install TWRP or CWM Rom Manager, even then, flashing a mostly-stock ROM based on the European stock T705, it's definitively going to lose 3G/LTE ?
Thanks
Status update:
Got device rooted ( used Odin 3.07 in Virtualbox)
Got Busybox installed
Got TWRP Backup *app* installed - not yet been able to install backup Recovery menu.
Where I'm currently at:
Trying to get TWRP recovery working, to make a backup of my current stock ROM.
Problem: Rebooting into recovery menu does NOT yield any menu options for backup/recovery. It seems to be the stock Android 4.4 recovery menu: NO ability to create a backup. (That I can find.)
Anybody got some idea what to do here?

Even changing the kernel broke LTE and 3G on mine
Succes!
Thank you very much for the post! I had the same problem.
Before using the ROM you indicated in your post: (pibach's one)
1.I used Odin to root my device.
2.I downloaded the tar file of the TWRP (for this device )
3.Installed the TWRP using Odin
4.Copied the ROM onto device(I didn't use a SD card)
5.I downloaded ROM manager app
and installed it onto the device and used it to reboot in recovery mode(using Reboot into Recovery)
6. In the recovery mode I went to Install and found the zip with the ROM and installed it without any problems
When the system started I was unhappy because there were the same Icons from the Chinese software . But when I opened the menu Play Store was there :good::fingers-crossed:

OK so hopefully nobody had already read my post but none of this was necessary for me as I am still living in China (therefore there's no need to worry about messing up the radio). All that was necessary was to download the "App Search" application that is popular here in China and then search for "Google Play" Store which was still in the mainland China database. In order to set up the account the rest of the way, I used my VPN to connect to the Google network and voila!
The reason it seems tricky at first is because the government blocks a lot of services that are not China-based from reaching China and it also blocks China-based services from going leaving China. So a VPN is an absolute must for using Google...but to find Google apps is a piece of cake.
But if you intend to take the tablet outside of Asia then rooting is most likely still necessary if you want to use LTE/3G.

I am in the USA. USA Tablets do not have LTE phones as the carriers want you to buy expensive data packages.
the way around this is to buy the SM-T705C which has the correct transceiver radio in it.

I have read this thread and it seems the best place I have found so far concerning rooting a SM-T705C international version.

Current Problems:
1. I can not get any Windows 7 or Win 8.1 machine to recognize the SM-T705C at all using the stock USB cable. , Need Help. I need to be able to access & transfer files.
2. Screen shuts off even when connected to USB cable. All I can do is control the delay. Very annoying
My goal is to unlock and then root the phone so that I can dual boot the original OS and any other Android OS.
Some terms I am unfamiliar with:
What is:
TWRP ?
Gapps Manager
Cyanogenmod
What is a Knox Flag ? I understand what it does but Is it hardware or software ?

Hi there,
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE version, which I purchased through Ebay - I believe it came from Asia somewhere as it showed up with an international adapter for the power supply. It was sold as a "Verizon" model - I ditched that sim card and have been using it with Bell Mobility in Canada.
Recently, I tried to update my firmware using the latest version of Samsung Kies and I'm running Windows 10 latest version. For some reason Kies needs to reinstall the USB driver before performing the update to the firmware and this causes Windows 10 to crash without fail. (This is also happening to my Note 3 - Samsung informs me Kies is not compatible with Windows 10 although it seems to work for everything else - just not the update). Kies doesn't seem to care that I already have the latest drivers installed.
I can't update via the tablet because my device has been "modified" - rooted.
Finally I went to Sammobile for the firmware, however I can't find any US firmware for a compatible carrier under SM-T705. I am debating flashing the Bell Canada firmware, but the model is listed as SM-T705W. In case this is not ok and I need to revert to the original, I'm hoping someone can help me identify my build? The samsung agent offered to identify it but once she discovered it was from outside Canada she said she had no information. So much for Samsung International!
Please help! I'm having battery issues and I'm hoping updated firmware will help, plus I would like to have the latest version of Android. Thanks!
If you're in Canada then just flash the Canadian firmware.

Hi there, forgive me for being thick, but how do you tell it's Cellular south, and what do you mean by region XAR? I'm sure that the fellow I bought this unit from flashed US firmware, however I can't find it on the Sammobile site - in fact I can't find any US carrier firmware listed for this model.
As mentioned above, I did find Bell mobility (Canada) firmware listed for the SM-T705W but nothing for the SM-T705.
Further explanation greatly appreciated!

You can flash any firmware for that model, so just flash the Canadian firmware, no point in flashing a us firmware.

You have root so install twrp from the development section and do a full back up of your current system.
You can then restore as you please.
Seems no US firmware for the t705.

LOL... ok now I have another problem. I had already downloaded the Bell mobility file from Sammobile and hadn't seen this response - in the meantime I hooked up with Odin and my download failed twice - I don't get it. I just did my Note 3 10 minutes ago without any issues. Rebooted device and odin between both attempts.
Thoughts?
Don't flash anything until you make that full backup with TWRP, trust me it will save a massive headache should you need it.
Download Flashfire from the link below then set your date back to August, run Flashfire then load up the firmware, select the Flash firmware package option.
From the partitions list select system.img and boot.img only.
Under the reboot options select download mode then hit the flash button.
Once it has flashed and booted to download mode you will need to flash a lollipop bootloader (assuming you are flashing lollipop?)
You will find them in the bootloader thread.
After that just reboot the tablet, it will take about ten minutes for it to fully boot.

Uh... ok you lost me early on. I downloaded the file - how do I install it? I remember using the TWRP thing several phones back when I was messing with custom ROMs. I had a problem with recovery and since then have never gone this route - I've been happy with stock rom and root - installed using Odin... sortof the KISS principle.
I can try TWRP, but could you dumb down the instructions a bit - as I mentioned, I'm a bit thick - particularly with some of the terminology! LOL
This is the file I downloaded - yes, Lollipop - I don't understand why I have the Odin Fail - google isn't helping me understand either. I have root, USB debugging is enabled and I followed the same steps as with my Note 3 - the message said write fail.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/52301/T705WVLU2BOE4_T705WOYA2BOE4_BMC/ Is this what you mean by bootloader?

Ok but those "bootloaders" are custom ROMS are they not? And I don't see my device on the TWRP site - I have the LTE version, it only shows Wifi.
Really all I want to install the Bell stock firmware (assuming it is indeed compatible - SM-T705 vs SM-T75W) I linked to from the Sammobile site and then do Chainfire's auto-root.
Why isn't Odin writing the firmware to my device? I've never had this issue before and I don't see what I might have done differently with this device - it's the first time I've tried to update it, but I had no trouble rooting it with the chainfire auto-root.

No they are bootloaders they are required to boot the firmware , roms are the os.
Odin won't flash because certain devices will refuse to flash another regions firmware.
My advice to you is to flash the lollipop bootloader first, to make sure it will flash then flash the firmware with flashfire.
Obviously make the twrp backup first.

Ok I flashed the bootloader, and then I tried to flash the firmware with Odin again but it still won't do it - write fail again. I've never used flashfire - windows 10 won't open it...
UDATE: Ok I read to transfer the file to the download folder on the tablet, and then install on tablet. So I did that, but when I click on the icon it doesn't run. How the heck do I use this to install the firmware update?
Figured out the date bit, ran Flashfire.... problems during the install - got stuck in boot loop - tried a factory reset - that didn't work... stuck in loop. I think I'm bricked....
Left the default settings in place - very little in the way of instructions - read the bit about not trying to write over protected settings...
And got this:
You're not bricked as long as the tablet starts up and you can boot to Download mode.
I've seen that error with corrupt downloads so not sure why you're getting it.
Reboot to download mode. Just hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until the device restarts and boots to download mode.
Doesn't matter if it's boot looping.
Reflash TWRP and restore the backup you made earlier. You will be back to where you started.
At this point I think the best option is to flash a custom lollipop rom.
There is a very good one I use on my t805 which is practically stock with a bit of bloatware removed.
Its in the development section called sweetrom.
At least one positive is that you were able to flash the lollipop bootloader, so upgrade is not impossible.
I'm definitely able to get to download mode - I was surprised that the factory recovery mode didn't work. I'm wondering if the file from sammobile is corrupted - I used the same file with Flashfire - now I think Odin was trying to save me. I'm downloading the same file again fresh, and it looks like Telus and possibly the other Canadian variants are the same - unless it's the same corrupted file.
I just hope the problem isn't because my phone identifies itself as a straight SM-T705. That is why I asked about that point earlier. There are plenty of straight 1705 options available - just don't know which country would be compatible - particularly for the modem.
I didn't understand how to use TWRP and I've had problems with it in the past (recovery) when I did figure out how to use it and was messing with custom ROMS a couple of years ago. I would really like to get myself back in order with a proper stock ROM and root. This tablet belongs in my car and right now I just want it to work properly - I'm using Torque to resolve some ongoing engine issues and it will suck if I have to go back to using the small screen on my Note 3.
If there is any way to figure out which of those countries for the 705 are compatible with Canadian carriers, in case this Bell firmware is defunct, that would be appreciated.
As well, is that bootloader going to cause any problems with stock firmware? I've already flashed it - does stock firmware come with bootloaders included?
OK before I go any further with this I need you to install twrp and make that back up. Twrp is now very stable.
Twrp will back up some very important partitions namely the Efs and modem. Don't take this warning lightly. The amount of people that have soft bricked their device because they didn't do this.
Boot into twrp then simply select the backup option and make sure the partitions on the left are ticked particularly boot,
Efs and modem.
Now as regards which firmware.
I would forget about installing the Canadian firmware.
It looks like this firmware will only install specifically on a Canadian device.
It doesn't really matter which firmware from which region you install as they are pretty much all the same except for the carrier ones which just add more bloat and some csc specific stuff.
Just go for an international rom. You've already flashed a bootloader from one of these roms so that proves you can flash.
Use odin to flash.
If you have connection issues afterwards then all you need do is restore your modem backup with TWRP.
That's why it's important you do this.
Follow these instructions and we will get you up and running.
Whole again!
Whole again!
For the record, I read elsewhere that it is NOT recommended to flash other letter variants of a model. In the meantime I downloaded all four Sammobile Canadian Carrier files and they appear to be the exact same file and all install attempts failed For anyone else with an actual SM-705W I read in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/t705-lollipop-t3099945 a fellow Canadian was having a problem with those same files. Dunno what happened with him in the end, however I tried one more W file I found elsewhere that appeared to be different but it failed as well.
Based on the comments in the above thread, I flashed the Hong Kong variant for the SM-705 from Sammobile - apparently it was the first firmware widely available and users from several countries posted they had used it successfully. So far it seems to be working ok - after flashing it, I did a factory reset on the device as was also recommended in the above thread. Sure hope the battery life will be better than before - love this tablet but I've never seen a device drain so rapidly! CF-Auto Root restored!
As a side note my Ebay seller did reply to my origins query and was helpful once he realized I wasn't complaining about the device and wanting to return it... LOL. Apparently my unit originated in Singapore and arrived with that firmware along with a Verizon SIM which I never tested. As long as the OS is smooth, and the modem compatible, and unless someone advises a better country variant, I guess I'll stick with this one.
Now just need to get Torque reconfigured!
Hello how can i get directions to flash twrp and root on my 10+5g sm-n976 i already unlocked the bootloader
I know if you search a form there is unlocking for our V model, but I spoke to the guy and if there is no development backing this device (and its soon going to pass the range it ever will) So why unlock the bootloader if there is no next step? Just sharing what I have remembered, cheers mate!
did you find a solution? I manage to root the same model as yours tricking the lz4 files which is the new type of extension in Android and for this you can not root in a normal way. I followed this guide
Fix Oreo Firmware Installation Issue in Odin for Samsung Devices - DroidViews
Android Oreo has finally made its way to Samsung's latest S series flagships, the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The Oreo update brings with it the usual Android Oreo features such as Picture-in-Picture, redesigned Settings app, etc. It also brings with it Samsung Experience 9.0 which is but a fancier name…
www.droidviews.com
After having the 4 stock files modified without lz4 you must flash them with Odin.
After you take the modified AP file and patch it with Magisk.
Then you flash again stock using the patched AP file and the rest of modified files but you must not select autoreboot in Odin. When the flashing is done you must exit download mode and imediatelly enter in Recovery mod but better use this guide

This methods do not work for me now. I am in the latest R update 07 and it seems dont work. I am serching how to root my phone now...
Hi guys, I recently purchased a refurbished S9+ without knowing the model and it turned out to be a SM-G965U. After a failed software update ("Your current software isn't supported. Visit a service centre"), I've been trying to find a way to update the phone to 'official' Android 10. Does anyone know if this is possible or is the phone locked to Android 9?
'OEM Unlock' is missing from developer settings which (I think) means it can't be rooted with any common method. But is it possible to flash the phone with an official, working version of Android 10?
I'm willing to use any method required (within reason) to update the phone to a working version of Android 10. I'm aware of the "Extreme Syndicate" root method but the bugs / missing features rule it out for me. I intend to get a refund for the phone if it can't be updated to Android 10 so I'd really appreciate any answers to my questions.
Thanks!
You can manually update your phone by using Odin, and download the latest firmware available by using Frija

That's good news. Just to confirm, I can manually update with Odin WITHOUT unlocking OEM in the develop settings? Thanks for replying.
Just confirming that I successfully updated to Android 10 using Odin. The CSC I used is for an American carrier and the phone tries to register on its network but that's easily disabled. Had to be done after every reboot but it's a small price to pay for a working phone....
Hello Guys, I'm currently stuck on G965USQU3ZRLG
I made use of firmware.science to update my S9 plus to this point, but it seems there's no further firmware update for G965USQU3ZRLG to the next update file. Kindly assist, thank you.
Hi All,
I've got a Note 10+ 5G and was wondering how would one go about rooting this device on the latest Samsung firmware
N976BXXU6FUBDThe guides that I have seen such as Dr.Ketans thread, instruct to flash a boot loader image that on his media fire page. does not match the firmware I'm running.
As I wouldn't want to flash anything that would break the phone, I'm wondering if someone can give me a method on how to root the stock rom.
thanks
did you find a solution? I manage to root the same model as yours tricking the lz4 files which is the new type of extension in Android and for this you can not root in a normal way. I followed this guide
Fix Oreo Firmware Installation Issue in Odin for Samsung Devices - DroidViews
Android Oreo has finally made its way to Samsung's latest S series flagships, the Galaxy S8 and S8+. The Oreo update brings with it the usual Android Oreo features such as Picture-in-Picture, redesigned Settings app, etc. It also brings with it Samsung Experience 9.0 which is but a fancier name…

After having the 4 stock files modified without lz4 you must flash them with Odin.
After you take the modified AP file and patch it with Magisk.
Then you flash again stock using the patched AP file and the rest of modified files but you must not select autoreboot in Odin. When the flashing is done you must exit download mode and imediatelly enter in Recovery mod but better use this guide
