REQUIREMENTS

  • The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet with the SM-T805 model number is required to complete this guide. The CF-Auto-Root tool is made for each model number and if you flash one of the files that were developed for a different model number it will probably brick the device that you flashed it on.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

  • You got to have the Developer Options menu unlocked so you can enter it and then enable the USB Debugging Mode from the menu. That USB Debugging is what allows you to make changes to the Android software that is running on the tablet, and that is a requirement if this rooting method is to work.
  • Install the Samsung USB Drivers on the computer that is running Windows and is the same computer you plan on flashing the rooting file with Odin. That way the Odin flashing applications is then bale to detect your device.
