Unless you root your Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 LTE, you can’t do many of the great things on it that it’s capable of doing. One of these things is the ability to install root-requiring apps that leverage the root-access on your device to provide you with more customization options. There’re a lot of things that you can do once you’re rooted.
If you’re ready to root your device, here’s how you can do that:
Files You Need
1. The first thing you need to have installed on your computer is Samsung USB drivers. If you haven’t already installed them, do so first from here.
2. Download the complete Root Package that contains all the files you will need to root your device.
3. You should only try this on the SM-G7105 model of the device. If you try to do this procedure on another device, you’re likely to brick it.

1. First of all, uncompress files from the root package so that you can use them. Right-click on the package and select Extract here and the files will be extracted.
2. One of the files that you extracted is Odin. Double-click on it and it will launch on your computer. You’ll use it to flash the root files.
3. In the Odin, click on PDA and select the CF-Root file that you just extracted from the root package. Its file format is .tar.
4. Ensure that the Repartition box is unchecked in the tool as leaving it checked will cause issues.
5. Now turn off your Samsung device.
6. Turn your device back on in download mode. You can do that by holding down Volume DOWN, Home, and Power buttons at the same time until you see a logo on your phone’s screen.
7. Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.
8. An added message should appear in Odin which confirms your device’s been recognized by your computer.
9. Click on Start in the Odin and it should start the flashing procedure.
10. When Odin says success, reboot your device and you should be rooted.
