Long story short, I managed to loose root on my SM-T900 after removing superSU without replacing it with another SU product. So I tried flashing CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 to get root back, and it soft bricked my tablet. So I decided to reimage it using Kies after entering my model number which worked but now I was back at a vanilla, unrooted tablet.
I have been trying to reroot ever since using every method I could find in about 20 different forums and nothing works. Here are the methods I have tried so far.
1. Flash CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 via odin after enabling debug mode. runs for a long time and fails and soft bricks.
2. Flash P900XXUANB3-RecoveryImg.tar via odin and then CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 via odin. Screen becomes completely garbled and odin eventually says "failed"
3. I tried using
I have tried several different versions of CFAuto Root including CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 and CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 all with similar results listed above although others have said they managed to get root it has yet to work for me.
I do have a TWRP backup which I ultimately want to restore but I don't think a TWRP backup can be restored unless the device has root first so that TWRP can be installed.
Is there some other root app that would work?
I've been at this for two days and I just can't seem to find the correct combination of SM-T900 wifi ROM and Chain fire autoroot that work together.

Had the same issue. Easy fix. Use the CF AUTO ROOT file for the SM-P900 (Note pro 12.2 version) it works on the NK1 build for the tab pro 12.2
Re-installing TWRP was a p a in too. In the TWRP thread in this forum there is a beta version linked on the last or second to last page for 2.8.6 for the tab pro 12.2. If you flash it using Flashify it will work.
Just went through this same process myself.

Ok. Just so I am understanding you correctly, this is what I should do.
Flash T900UEUANK1_T900XARANK1_XAR.zip via odin.
boot up and enable debug mode.
boot into download mode and install CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 via odin and I should have root.
Install twrp-2.8.6.0-v2wifixx.img via Flashify and then I should be able to boot into recovery and restore my TWRP image backup.

Just FINALLY (and VERY PAINFULLY, BTW) got root on my Tab Pro 12.2 SMT-900 with NK1 build using CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5. If I Flashify the beta TWRP 2.8.6.0 you mention above using Flashify's "Recovery Image" Button and navigating to the TWRP 2.8.6.0 image file -- is that all I need to do? Does it "stick" and can I then make a Nandroid Backup -- that it will find if/when I need to recovery it? (I've read lots of posts saying the backup files disappear, etc)
I have not had any issues with backups so far. It is the only recovery I have been able to get to stick on the NK1 build. Have not tried to do a recovery though. I'm running CM 12 now because it is way more stable than the stock TW ROM.
If I navigate to the TWRP backup folder my backup of the stock TW ROM is there and intact.

Thank you! I recently purchased a gtp12.2 with the intent of immediately rooting it. Just like OP, I tried several times to root without any success (two softbricks, though). I would never have thought to use the SM-P900 cfAutoRoot.

Check your build prop for device name. Maybe its not correct because of the Rom you're on. Whats the error you're getting?
Did you ever get TWRP on your phone?
I've had goofy issues with TWRP but much prefer it to CWM. Originally rooted using CWM and SuperSu and switched to TWRP when I flashed CleanRom several times via Romtoolbox pro I've flashed updated Twrp it said it was successful but when it rebooted was soft bricked! Had to use Odin and original CWM to get back in and re-install everything (nandroids were twrp backups) found file downloaded to sdcard that worked fine! Odd...

If by "installed" you are referring to the recovery program itself (and not your backups), you can only have one recovery 'installed' at one time as there is only 1 "Recovery" partition on the device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9). So if you want to install CWM instead of your current TWRP (or visa-versa), either flash the appropriate new recovery zip via your current recovery... or Odin3 flash your desired new recovery tar. Either way, it will write to the same recovery partition. If you are referring to your backups... these are stored in the designated path you selected (either internal sd or external sd)... in the TWRP/BACKUPS folder. In that folder, you will have a device id #... in that folder are your backups.
Gotcha! Thanks the way it acted I wondered if there were "leftovers" in recovery partition or corrupt data. When I reflashed CWM or TWRP via ODIN it didn't say "Passed" instead "RESET" and I had to unplug phone and manually boot recovery which sometimes took a couple tries... Only boxes checked in Odin are reset time and reboot.

Which version of Odin3 are you using? When I used Odin3 v1.85 I would get the "PASSED" but with Odin3 v3.07, I also only got "RESET" (on an WindowsXP box)... but both flashed it correctly (and auto rebooted after flash)

Odin says it flashed successfully, and the tab reboots fine, but when I power off and boot into recovery, I'm getting the stock recovery. I've tried both the touch and non-touch versions, without success.

I will recreate an autoroot package for you in my spare time. Samsung Android boot image has a known feature to patch the boot image and use it to overwrite the recovery image on every boot. This feature disabled in blackhawk kernel, some recovery has a capability to disable this feature as well.

Hi. I'm picking up a Galaxy Pro 12.2 tomorrow after being seriously impressed with the build quality and screen size.
However, after browsing my favourite forum (XDA!) I see that there is little or no development on the 12.2 version.
Couple of questions -
Anybody figured a root method for the 12.2 yet?
I'm assuming that each individual tablet can't use each others ROMs? (e.g 12.2 can't use an 8.4 ROM)
Thanks in advance.
BTW - if anyone wants a fantastic wallpaper and is interested in anything PS4 check out the new Photo Mode screenshot thread on Neogaf. There are some stunning images there. I'm on my tablet just now and don't have access to a link. Sorry!
Sent from my A700 using xda app-developers app
Chainfire has an auto root method for the tablet on his website... If your looking for development it's probably not the tablet to go with, these aren't as popular with the modding community. And truthfully with root and mods it's really unneeded IMO.

His website has root for the Note Pro, not the Tab. Everyone is making this mistake, confusing the SMP-900 with the SMT-900.
Same difference I'm sure. You'll just need someone with balls to try it out.

Not sure why your's didn't work. I just downloaded Odin and put the Wifi variant of the tar.md5 in the AP field, waited on Odin finding it and clicked "Start".
The only thing I will say is that the reboot after the initial flashing takes longer than normal. You just get a black screen. So long, in fact, that I was just about to unplug the tablet then the screen flashed up, doing it's thing. You have to wait until its completely done before unplugging and rebooting.
The link I followed was the one in the CF Root thread in the Galaxy Note 12.2 forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656551
Looking back, I just realised I've been a total noob and confused the Galaxy Note Pro and Tab Pro. All I can say is that the Wifi variant of the tar.md5 linked in the post above does indeed root the Galaxy Pro Tab 12.2. I'm running Xposed and Wanam fine just now.
Are the two devices so similiar?
Sent from my SM-T900 using xda app-developers app
I can confirm this approach worked for me as well to root my Tab Pro 12.2.
I did have a bit of a scare initially with Odin 3.09 where I soft bricked the tablet and had to download a stock rom to flash via Odin to correct the issue.
However it did subsequently work using Odin 3.07 using the Note Pro 12.2 CF Auto root file.
Nope-not happening. Freezes at cache.img, screen goes to colored hash, and it soft bricks. So I guess I'm out of the picture. Wish I never bought the damn thing.

Same ROM as you-it's the only one I could find. I just reflashed it again. I don't think root is gonna happen, no matter what anyone says. My situation is identical to what you just described.
Wish Chainfire could jump in with a comment.
I quit, before this thing gets hard bricked (or sledgehammered).

I did download a later firmware version that what was on the device to undo the soft brick. This is the version I updated to: T900XXUANB6_T900SEKANC1_SEK.
Then I was able to flash the Note 12.2 CF Autoroot successfully.
Not sure if it was the newer firmware version or using Odin 3.07 instead of Odin 3.09 which I used when I soft bricked it, but its definitely rooted now and working well.
The only rom I could find was this: T900XXUANB5_T900OXAANB5_HOME.tar.md5. I couldn't find a U.S. XAR anywhere. If there's one around, I can't find it. I reflashed this rom with Odin 3.07 and it still soft bricked. I think it's headed to greedbay, I give up.
And everyone is still confusing SMP with SMT. Chainfire now has a SMT-905 on his site, but no SMT-900.

Cheers for that. Downloading that now...
dorpmuller. this flash file is definitely on the sammobile site. You need to register first, log in, click firmware.. Scroll down and put t900 in the search box half way down on the left.. First firmware thats listed.. It is for the the Ukraine (CSC) but hopefully will work fine.. I'll let you know in about 2 hours (I'm too tight to pay for a premium downlaod).
Might even upload it to Mega afterwards.
Confirmed working perfect. Downlaoded the above file, then rooted the T900 with the P900 chainfire root file..
A happy bunny.. I'm uploading the file to mega if anyone wants a nippier download.
OK, I finally got it-forgetting the most elementary mistake! I was using an aftermarket USB cable. I put the device in dl mode, cleared the cache, restarted into dl again, and used a Samsung USB 2.0 cable that came with one of my other tabs. Rooted in 30 seconds. Boy do I feel like an idiot!!
I did go get the aforementioned B6 rom just in case, but the b5 I had reflashed it with worked fine so I left well alone.
My humble thanks to everybody for puttin' up with me!
Oh, yeah... I used Odin 3.07 BTW
Rich
Now I'm confused. After reading dorpmullers reply, I flashed the tab back to the B5 BTU firmware again.. Bloody thing rooted 1st time.
Any ideas why it wouldn't route the first time round (tried around 10 times). Flashed B6 then back to B5.. Routed 1st time... Grr.
I had tried several firmwares (B5's) prior. Same lead, same laptop, etc.
Figured out proper procedure:
#1 If you're soft bricked flash any full stock recovery image. If you're functional go to next step.
#2 After done rebooting, reboot to stock recovery by holding Power + Volume Up and releasing power upon seeing the Samsung splash screen.
#3 Wipe cache using stock recovery.
#4 Reboot into download mode by holding Power + Volume Down, press Up when told to do so
#5 Use EITHER Odin 3.07 OR 3.09 to flash CF-Auto-Root package for SM-P900, yes, the image for the NOTE PRO will root the TAB PRO
#6 Patiently wait for reboot.
#7 Profit.

root: there are several methods to root first and mostly recommended flash Philz recovery for the D2Lte in Odin just make sure your on the latest one then root your stock rom with the option under Philz settings called Re-root(SuperSU) or you can use any recovery and flash the SuperSU zip from Chain fire or you can just use TowelRoot for the actual rooting process then download SuperSU and BusyBox from the PlayStore

I have the SPH-L710T...TowelRoot doesn't work. I suspect this configuration of S3 is still too new. SRSRoot One Click didn't work either.

When I did root checker on Towelroot it came back as not rooted. Same with SRS. I'll look into Philz this weekend when I can spend a whole day making sure it's done correctly.
Philz will do it guaranteed. Just gotta install supersu from play store

The only thing I've succeeded in doing is voiding my warranty. Still not rooted.

did you uncheck the Auto-Reboot in Odin and manually turn off your phone and then booting it manually into Philz Recovery and then using the option under Philz settings called Re-root System (SuperSU) ?

I picked up one of the Spark enabled S3s as well, I Odin'ed the latest Philz set to check for root and to root in Phil's, rebooted and installed SuperSU on the play store. Had zero issues getting root on stock. Which version of Philz are you using? Have you tried to flash any ROMs? There are a myriad of AOSP based ROMs too choose from.
Do you believe it will work for my version? Could you post the links you used to get everything please? You were successful and i just want to be suren
Also. Im usint Haimdall on Linux Mint. Anyone know od any issues or special procedure.
Thanks you guys for all the help

so here is the Philz recovery
if Philz doesn't work, since you'll have it installed here is the Stock NDC pre-rooted rom that you can use Philz to flash

I don't remember at this point. When I went to the page to DL the Philz data there were several versions, I grabbed the one with the highest number (appearing to be the most recent).

The latest is philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip make sure it's that one since it's the one I used
I've tried all these
http://www.itsaboutmobile.com/2013/10/android-rooting-software.html
Except the ones that cost. No dice. Philz could stand one source with a more detailed instruction set than "Load, run, done". I just want to eliminate certain intrusive apps without having to become an Android master programmer in the process..
Suggestions on custom ROMs for SPH-L710T
Any one have any ideas. I heard Conquest Singularity 9.4 is great, BUT there are radio and MMS issues. I also heard about the axis coming UN calibrated. Any ideas? I have rooted with Philz Touch latest no problem. I would tell anyone now with this model that it is safe to root with Philz. I used JODIN the online variation of ODIN. Worked no problem. It wanted a PIT file. I downloaded the PIT from the phone using Heimdall. Then I loaded SuperSU Pro 2.01 and again, no problem. I really only need the HotSpot to work now. I would like a custom ROM that is leaner and faster, but at least a working HotSpot.

Singularity is a awesome rom. I ran it for quite a while with minimal problems(most was just user error) As for AOSP I have been using the CM11 M10 Snapshot, will excellent results.
Philz will root it. Why hes havin issues, is beyond me. I just rooted 4 710t's with philz via odin.
Yes, the rotation is jacked up with everything but stock. Theres a bunch of guys workin to find a fix. Tried various kernels and such but a solution hasnt been found that im aware.
Hotspot- wifi router 6.0 in playstore works. Thats verified, on stock. Its not free, but its cheap.
Hope that helps.
I have already rooted with Odin. And after that, all I've done is disabled knox.
I'd like to install CyanogenMod 11 on my SM-P600
I've downloaded "recovery-cm-11-20141114-UNOFFICIAL-lt03wifi.tar" and "cm-11-20141114-UNOFFICIAL-lt03wifi.zip" from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-p600-cyanogenmod-11-note-10-1-2014-t2929908).
From what I've read, I need something called a "recovery" and Gapps.
Can I just use any recovery and Gapps I find on the internet? Or are there specific ones for each phone/tablet?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you. I've read that thread and I downloaded Flashify. I got TWRP 2.7.x.x and tried to flash CyanogenMod 12 but people were having trouble so I went back to Flashify and flashed TWRP 2.6.3 instead. When I hit reboot, the tablet put itself in a loop. It goes to the Samsung GALAXY NOTE 10.1 2014 Edition screen then turns off, and cycles from there.
I guess I had to unflash 2.7.x before flashing 2.6.3 or something? I probably bricked my device at this point.
I can get into Odin but I'm not sure what to do from here.
EDIT: I went to the TWRP site and downloaded 2.7.1.0 onto my PC and Odin'd my tablet with it. I'm restoring to my StockRoot backup. I don't know why Flashifying TWRP 2.6.3 softbricked my tablet and at this point I don't think I know what I'm doing.

Hmm. That happen to someone else too who tried to downgrade TWRP from 2.7.x.x. Did Obin TWRP 2.7.X.X. fix the bootloop? If so you are ok. Otherwise I would Obin Samsung stock and reroot. And flash 2.6.3 with Obin.

Yes it worked, thank you for responding.
I was then able to flash CyanogenMod 12 with another attempt on TWRP 2.7.1.1
I'm having an issue with my original StockRoot backup though. When I restore to it, it tells me, "Unfortunately, com.android.keyguard has stopped" after booting. I believe this has caused my Home button and Notification Panel (drop-down menu) to stop working as they are non-responsive. It also shows me a black wallpaper. All my files seem to be fine though. I just have to press the back soft key button a couple times to get back to the home screen.
Is there a way to fix this or would I need to Odin Samsung stock and re-root?
My goal is to have a CyanogenMod 12 back-up and my Original StockRoot backup working if possible.
I just need to fix this keyguard problem then flash CyanogenMod12 with Gapps and I think I'll be set for a while.
Thanks for your help.
Looks like I'm going to need to go back to Stock and Re-Root. What's the best way of doing this?

Download the stock from Sammobile. Com and flash using Obin. From the sounds of things you seem to be doing OK for not having much experience?☺
Note: if it seems like I am ignoring you it is because I am in the middle of finals?

No worries, you've been a ton of help - really appreciate it. But just to update you I flashed and its all back to normal after flashing from Sammobile firmware. It fixed keyguard so im back to where I started.
Now im just gunna try different roms and see what I like.
