Hi folks,
Been looking all over, can't find anything root for the Tab Pro 12.2. Has anyone rooted one yet? I found plenty for the SMP-900 but no SMT.
Thanks in advance!

Same. Traded my note pro in for the tab pro and now looking for a way to root it.

Good thing to have elite plus membership. Traded my note pro and I'm very pleased. This tab pro is way better when it comes to lag. I see a little but note pro is ridiculously bad...
Chainfire not yet implemented this model for root.
Chose 12.2 tab over note but might switch if there's no root ...
Elite plus membership? and actually returning my tab pro to Costco today for another one before the $50 off deal disappears. My Note pro had no lag but this tab pro does and keeps freezing on me...Hoping I just got a defective one. Thank you for the response about no root yet...

im talking about best buy. elite plus member has a 45day period for returns and exchange. my note pro has at least spike at the button screen (backlight bleeding) and screen flickers.
got mine for $599 at best buy.
Ah thats why I love Costco, 90 day return and the same price. New Tab pro is running like a champ, no lag or freezing. My first note pro had the screen flickering problem, returned it right away.
any news on this

ianrobbie posted an approach to root the Tab Pro 12.2 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729907 that worked for me as well, although the first time I tried it I had an issue leading to a soft brick of sorts and had to download and reflash a stock rom to fix. Subsequently it worked like a charm.
In short the Note Pro 12.2 CF Autoroot from Chainfire appears to work on the Tab Pro 12.2 as well, but has not been tested thoroughly. I haven't had any issues in the last 18 hours or so with my rooted SM-T900, including xposed installer, Wanam, Folder Mount, etc.

Hi. Which ROM did you download please? Tried a couple of different ones, and no luck.

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 on the sammobile site.
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.
I also just rooted my SM-T900 with the SM-P900 chainfire files. I used the 3.07 Odin included in the zip from the official chainfire site. It took about 1 minute or so, no problems at all.
Just reading this thread and thought I would throw my opinion in.
I was the one who (noobishly) flashed the wrong .tar in Odin 3.09 to root my Tab Pro. I had been reading the wrong thread and followed the instructions someone else has posted for the SMP-900.
So far, absolutely no problems whatsoever. Xposed runs fine with Wanam installed and a few other modules.
The only wrinkle found so far is that it seems to screw up the Samsung OTA updates. You get a "Device Modified error".

The inability for OTA updated and the related Device Modified Error are one of the downsides of rooting. I've always gotten the same results when rooting my Samsung Galaxy phones as well.
Honestly I'd rather the device not be auto updating after rooting to avoid it breaking the root or worse. Firmware updates, if needed, can be applied via recovery or Odin and may need a subsequent re-root if its a stock update vs a customized rom.

Exactly my thoughts. I remember having an S3 and reading all about tripping the Custom ROM counter and it was the same as this. Before I even had the tablet, I had the files on my desktop, ready to root.
Hopefully, there should be a wee bit of development for the 12.2 soon. Xposed and all is fine, but I would just like a nice, 4.4.2 debloated ROM.
Everything just now seems to be for the 8.4
Hi guys
Been a while since I got my root game on (coming from a Note 3 with all the KNOX issues).
Anyway now I have the Zenfone 2 and no warranty so its time to root. The only thing I want is ad-block, nothing else. Best way to do this?
Will I not be able to OTA update once I'm rooted? If so is it easy to unroot and install OTA and then do root again without data loss?
Any help appreciated.
Install Chrome or Firefox and then install an adblock extension. I personally use Firefox with Adblock Plus on my Android devices. No need for root.
It is recommended that you not perform OTA once rooted, as you may experience bootloops. If you want to root, I recommend following one of the guides that involve pushing the rooted img through adb from your computer.

Search for adaway.
I'm using Adblock Plus right now without root and it seems to be working.
Adaway is the best one I have used, only rooted devices though. There's nothing else that can touch it.
Hey Guys!
I just got an A5 (2017) that I'm trying to set it up with all the same apps as my old phone but I'm running into a couple problems. First of all I'm fairly new to Samsung; mostly used Motorola devices in the past but I did have an old SM-G386W that a relative let me use when my XT1032 was on the fritz. On that phone (which ran only 4.4.2) I was able to root with KingRoot and then use SuperSuMe to overwrite KingRoot. It worked great without tripping the Knox counter but after a lot of reading I see this method may not be possible on the newer A5.
I know I could most likely and very easily install root through Odin but since I just bought the phone (having got it as an upgrade through my carrier) I am reluctant to trip the Knox counter and void my warranty after only having it for 1 day. I believe the phone only has a 12 month warranty so I would at the very least like to keep my Knox at 0x0 until the warranty period expires.
Does anyone know of a way to root without tripping Knox or as an alternative; A way to restore app data without needing root privileges?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Well after posting I found Helium Backup & Restore which I just used and it appears to have restored everything properly. Now I just need a way to adblock.

If your phone already rooted, you can try to use Moab that can be found in this forum, flash it using custom recovery and you are good to go

Hi,
i own a Samsung Galaxy S9 Duos with Exynos CPU and i need some advice from Experts.
In the past I have flashed serveral Phones with Cyanogenmod, Resurrection Remix and i think some things has changed since i has flashed my lastest phone (Galaxy S4 Mini, Sony Z5).
So I have some questions and I hope i will receive help from this superior Community Members here:
1. Is it possible to go back to Stock Firmware after flashing to Lineage OS?
In the Past i was flashing TWRP to my older Sony Phones and I could make a Backup. After doing that I was able to revert to Stock Rom when the Flashing Procedure made Problems.
Is this still possible to do this with S9 Phones?
What is the best Method to make Backups off my Phone before installing Custom Rom's?
2. Do I have to register my Phone on Google to install Google Apps on my S9 after flashing Lineage OS?
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-blocks-gapps-uncertified-devices-custom-rom-whitelist/
3. Will my Galaxy Wearable App working with Custom Rom's when I do not root my Phone?
Thank you!
Can I add one more question? It is my first Samsung device.. do we loose something like Sony's DRM when we unlock the bootloader in samsung?
1. yes, backup with twrp is fine
2. ?? just flash Gapps like normal
3. depends on your roms. stock base roms will obviously work unless debloated
not sure about carrier phones, but rooting, unlock bl will only lose samsung knox, secure folder, pay, ect.
Thank you very much.
lionelbac asked a good question.
With Sony Phones you had to save the Fota Partition to restore DRM Keys for Camera and other stuff..
I think that this can be ignored with Samsung Phones, but I am not sure.
Thank you once again.
