The root user account is always there on Android but there is only one way to access it, and that is by following the right guide to get root access. Once the rooting permissions are granted it is then you who is in charge of what gets installed and uninstalled on the mobile device. Up until that point in time, it is not you who is in control. You are forced into keeping many apps installed on the handset, and they are using up your memory. There are also thousands of apps available from the Google Play Store and websites online that will not run without root access because having the root access is what they need before they can do anything. That same kind of lower-level permissions on the operating system is also what developers need before they can make changes and hence developers always need to have a rooted device.

The following guide demonstrates all you need to root the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 tablets with the SM-T705 model number when they are running on the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop software updates by flashing a version of CF-Auto-Root tool.

REQUIREMENTS

• You need to have a computer that is capable of booting a Windows operating system to use this guide or else the Odin flashing tool does not work.
• You need to have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 tablet that comes with the SM-T705 model number to use this guide.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Chainfire was running on the LRX22G.T705XXU1BOJ8 firmware build number when he developed the version of the CF-Auto-Root tool that is available in this guide. You don’t need that same firmware build number running on your tablet when you follow this guide. You need to have any of the firmware that is available for your model number as long as it is running on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.
• You will need the Samsung USB Drivers installed on the computer before the Odin flashing tool can detect your device. Install them now if you don’t have them on the computer already.
• The Developer Options menu must be unlocked, and you need to have the USB Debugging Mode enabled from the Developer Options menu.
