In Odin on the left side of the screen, in the options section, be sure there is a check mark beside Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Nothing else should be checked.

I would suggest using Odin to return to stock ROM. Then try to root again.

Very detailed descriptions, and I will put them to work tomorrow first thing in the mourning. I am a noob at rooting with this being my 2nd Android device and the first was an easy one click root with framaroot; however, I am interested in learning more.

I would like, with your permission, and giving credit, to make a video about how to root my new device. I am YouTuber that post on mobile games only needing a root to screen record. I get so many questions, "how do I root my phone?" from perspective YouTubers. If you don't mind me using your information in a video teaching how to root this specific device, I would appreciate it.

On top of that, if you have advice for me or anyone else planning on rooting a device, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm about to search the forum now for a "what NOT to do" when rooting a device since most people I speak with are scared to brick it. IMO, with time spent researching, being careful, and listening to the advice given on forums like this one, there's nothing to worry about.

I would love to find what the most common reason behind rooting going wrong to ease the minds of those thinking about it. I am a noob, and without experience I can only speculate; however, I would guess that the most common issues are due to not paying attention to the guides given to root by screwing up out of laziness or stupidity. Now, if there is another reason that is more hidden or unexpected such as a setting in Oden that might be causing a problem for example (only example I have never even used it just trying to get my idea accross), that would be extremely helpful as well.

Like I said I will search the forum for this information before I root my device to be cautious, but more to dive into learning about this process. If you have any answers to the questions, thanks in advance. If not, I'd appreciate an okay to use your info to show a video of me rooting my device giving you credit for the guide. BTW, I'd never air it if I screwed it up. I am a bit of perfectionist and will probably do 3-5 takes to make it look as smooth and easy as possible.

if you want to root your tab pro 12.2 all you have to is follow this link

http://androidcentral.us/2014/05/root-galaxy-tab-pro-12-2-sm-t900/

and then scroll down to the first comment or FIND the comment made by me about how to do this PAINLESSLY. if you have the latest samsung update you likely will have problems rooting if you do not do what I just said and READ MY COMMENT. I guarantee that if you do what Im saying you WILL get root with no problem. after that you can go here:

http://www.droidviews.com/root-galaxy-tab-pro-12-2-sm-t900/

and get and install twrp recovery on your device. I used odin 3.07 to do everything on my system. dont meant to hijack the thread but I did this today and it simply works. no issues whatsoever. immediately installed titanium backup and then an app to reboot directly to recovery called 'reboot recovery' from the app store. regarding my comment, it refers to the file called a 'bootloader' in the rooting thread on the first link. not sure its a bootloader but it allows you to follow the other steps to get root. this is the file they refer to:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2591013&d=1392923580

all of this should take less than 5 minutes including download.

just thought of this. I am american and this applies to the american version of the t900. the file above apparently is for the p900 but someone has stated in the thread that it works anyway. now if only there were more roms available for this device that would bring out just how great it is without all the samsung crap on it.

Can't find any way to root it

I am stuck with my samsung p5100 rooting process , I can't connect it via Usb even with the stock cable that came along with it, it doesn't seems to recognize it, no matter how many times I try clean cache or delete cache partition or go into download mode and connect it again, update windows, sync with windows media player, or samsung kies, nothing seems to work. i have connected it before without any problem, my pc is same, the cable and tab is same. still it has failed to recognize it any further. it's not just a problem with this model, I have seen many people having same issues as mine, with all the other samsung android mobiles or tablet. how I am supposed to root any of my device when the pc can't even recognize it? is it microsoft windows 7 or 8 and samsung compatibility issue? even framaroot cant help, neither kingo or vroot. is there any way I can root it by copying the CF. Auto. Root.tar in my sdcard and then update with the stock recovery? please help

Hello all, just got a Tab Pro 8.4 from Best Buy the other day (pretty cheap and was on the lookout for a new tablet). I'm loving the screen, and it feels very comfortable to use. I just wanted to ask those who had rooted and switched to CM or another custom ROM, whether it was worth it. Any appreciable difference in battery life? Would like to get rid of a lot of the Samsung bloatware and was wondering whether switching to CM was worth the hassle. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] kenhicg:
CM is much smoother however it seems to have a few bugs like occasional freezing. I have temporarily gone back to stock rooted and will start removing bloat to see if I can't get a little smoothness back.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Tarthenal:
Thanks kenhicg! So I should stick with stock rooted until CM gets all the bugs ironed out. If you don't mind, could you tell me what you're uninstalling in order to get the smoothness back?

I bought a refurbished tab pro 10 two days ago, was silly enough to root it 5mins right after unboxing it. Only to find out later that it's randomly rebooting every now and then out of the blue... Now I'm pissed to say the least because needless to say I'm suspecting a hardware issue.. Have yet to odin or flash a Custom rom.. What do you people think of this? What could be the likely cause? Anyone knows a good custom rom other than CM for the tab pro 10.. ?

I am from the Netherlands so i don't know if i need another firmware.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] kenhicg:
1) Download your stock rom, either from the forum or from samfirmware.com. Just be carefull, if you flash a 4.4 rom you will get Knox in your bootloader, so it's better to go to a previous version if you plan on rooting.<br />

<br />

2) Download Odin 3.09<br />

<br />

3) Go to download mode by turning off your Note, and turning it on while pressing Vol down and Home buttons.<br />

<br />

4) Open Odin, load the stock rom with the AP button in Odin, connect your Note to USB and click Start. (You have to have the Samsung drivers installed on your machine)<br />

<br />

Enjoy!<br />

<br />

PD<br />

If you use linux instead of Windows you can use Heimdall to flash.<br/>

Hi guys having some serious problems here. Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 LTE sm t525. I achieved root and installed CWM recovery and CM11 then thing went to pot, I also for some unknown reason decided to preform a Battery calibration although I am not sure it I did that before or after rooting, not that I blaming anyone but myself.

The device has become practically unusable, random reboots although it seems to survive longer when attached to its power cable. It will reboot/crash at what seems like random times and during random tasks, or if i just let it idle, also it crashes during the reboot cycle and I must enter Download Mode to restart. Other issues include screen flicker and random battery percentages (most probably to do with the calibration). I have tried Factory reset using the device and CWM, reinstalled different nightlies and stock using ODIN and lastly used KIES to reinstall Stock.

KNOX is of course tripped, but if I have no luck on the weekend I will ship it back for repair and see what happens. :eek:

I hold no one but myself responsible and would be very grateful for any help or feedback.:good:

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mingkee:
A side note for 8.4 model:

DO NOT disable KNOX after rooted (root still works for sure). Just hit cancel when you're prompted.

This will avoid random crash due to a service failure which requires KNOX.

If you, unfortunately, disabled KNOX, you have to:

re-flash with Kies (this will wipe internal storage)

-----or----- (if you have ROM downloaded)

1. factory reset the tablet.

2. enter download mode and flash ROM with Odin.

3. factory reset again.

After that, you will have another chance NOT to disable KNOX.

Mine had a lot of system crash after disabled KNOX, but the problem is gone after re-flashed ROM and did factory reset, and NOT to disable KNOX.

change to boot sequence on new SM-T700

STEP 6

On your Tab, hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until you see a "Warning!!" screen with a large yellow triangle at the bottom. Press Volume Up to continue.

I had to Hold Power, Volume Down, AND the Home button to get it to boot to Odin mode. New SM-T700
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] DavisGentry:
SM-T700 dead

Just tried this with my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Followed each step exactly - discovered that needed to use Power, Volume Down, and Home buttons to boot to Odin mode, which appeared to work fine. Odin v3.07 (Windows 7 64 bit) appeared to run and find the tablet. Used CF-Auto-Root-mondrianwifi-mondrianwifixx-smt320.tar.md5

Now my tablet has the following message on the screen:

Firmware upgrade encountered a problem. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again

It will not turn off or go to any other boot phase - tried Power, Volume Down, and Home (reboots to same screen after a couple of seconds), Power, Volume Up, and Home (no response), Power, Volume Down (no response), Power, Volume Up(no response), and just Power (no response). Long holds and short holds on all combinations.

Odin shows:

<ID:0/039> Initialzation..

<ID:0/039> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/039> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/039> recovery.img

<ID:0/039> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/039> cache.img.ext4

I suspect that the problem is that I used the SM-T320 file indexed in this thread, but should have used on for the SM-T700 - is that correct?

Any suggestions?

Edit: After some research - downloaded Kies, tried update, that failed, then got to try recovery. Back to shipped version. Now to try again with the correct files...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] joeb690:
So I activated powersaving mode and the tablet has not restarted for quite some time. Does this point to a hardware issue of have I messed up the power management in some way. Or is it perhaps related to the KNOX issue already mentioned here. I assumed KNOX would be fully functional after reinstalling stock with KIES. All feedback/ideas welcome. Thanks.

many tnx for any replies/help. most grateful
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] geeshiet:
I think your version of tablet is qualified to root without tripping Knox. Since your kernel is compatible with towel root. Knox is basically your warranty, let's say you root in a method that trips (ticks) your Knox then it will be set to 0x1. That means you voided your warranty. Or if install a custom Rom, that also voids your warranty. But do some research first before doing anything. Unlike me I was really excited rooting my device I didn't know about Knox and I accidently tripped it so yeah. Good luck
