I re-downloaded the .tar, still the same checksum, still the same result on Odin flash.

Is my checksum correct for what you uploaded? (e.g. has my network connection, or the file service hurked the file somehow).

---------- Post added at 12:24 ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 ----------

Addendum: weirdness on flash I just noted. Almost faster than I can see, the "loader bar" on the Download screen starts to progress, but the tablet resets before it gets more than 1 or 2 "ticks" along. Re-flashing 2.8.1.1 I can clearly see the loader bar progress to the end before the reset occurs.

It also takes less than 3 seconds to "flash" the beta recovery, versus 7-8 seconds for 2.8.1.1.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can anyone else confirm this please?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] 00bofh:
Indeed - please let me know that either:

1 - I'm all alone and probably have a broken tablet

-or-

2 - That I'm not delusional and this really does happen...

New recovery.log posted to: http://pastebin.com/AVupY3mF.

Error 13 still present on ext-sdcard access, new issue noted (though to be honest, I didn't try with the public release of 2.8.4.0):

Install of "fresh" ROM fails with bootup proclaiming that "Data partition is corrupt", rebooting to recovery, "wiping" Data and then rebooting again to ROM. This continues to cycle (lather-rinse-repeat).

Complete format of both DATA and SYSTEM partitions was done (changed to exfat, then to ext_2, then to ext_4), same result for all three ROMs I tried (CM 12 0104, which is my current daily ROM; Gatsrom debloated stock BNK1 and, HyperDrive 1.1).

Returning to 2.8.1.1, formatting DATA and SYSTEM and restoring my last backup worked as expected. Full wipe and fresh install of all three worked as expected.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If you do a setenforce permissive in twrp terminal, does backups work to external sdcard?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] 00bofh:
My apologies for the lengthy delay - RL and work strike again...

Indeed, setting permissive in TWRP allowed the external_sd backup to complete. I tested backup, wipe, restore and install from scratch. All clean.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Please see if this turns off selinux for backing up to external sd: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.1-v1awifi.img.tar
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] 00bofh:
No such luck. Error 13 and requires Terminal command to set permissive.

Once set, it works as expected, backup, recovery, etc., so it's moving in the right direction!

Update: I was attempting to install the latest CM12 build from Valera1978 and on opening the Terminal to set permissive, I noticed an error.

Recovery logfile uploaded to http://pastebin.com/93igkf65 - looks like something weird in CACHE?

Didn't impact wipe or load, but backup failed during MD5 creation for DATA and forced a reboot back into TWRP.

ROM seems to be functioning as expected, so it's more a worry /annoyance, and doesn't seem to be a funtionality impacting glitch.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
The discard error is fine. Just can't figure out why setenforce isn't running on start yet.

Can you run http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.1-v1awifi.img.tar and let me know if /tmp/test gets created in recovery?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] 00bofh:
Nope, nothing in /tmp except the recovery.log file.

I updated the pastebin with the most recent output - I'm not sure if there's a way to turn on an "extra debug" mode, but if there is, let me know...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Do me a favor, in adb shell or TWRP terminal, execute: getprop ro.hardware and paste the results.

Hi, can you get the output of dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt after booting TWRP?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] 00bofh:
No problem - uploaded to http://pastebin.com/keLmragR

I really appreciate all the time you're taking to tweak and tune! It's a Good Thing (tm) when a developer is willing to work with an end-user!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Please test http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.1-v1awifi.img.tar

If it still doesn't work get me a new output of dmesg please.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] 00bofh:
Success!!

Backup, wipe and full restore tested - no issues noted.

The only niggle left is the CACHE error, I know it doesn't impact function, but for a complete beginner (granted, I'm not far past that, but still...) it could generate some concern when they see the bold red lettering.

Thank you again and I greatly appreciate your hard work!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
It's not really an error. Guess google has to help with that in education because we don't control how that error gets printed since it's from an external project for make_ext4fs.

I think we might release 2.8.5 soon. I will be looking at releasing all the fixes then. If not I will do 2.8.4.1.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] jimbob_sf:
Here we go again. New version and IMPOSSIBLE to find. Why is this the only app in the Android world that nearly everyone uses and the devs don't provide direct links?

ex. It takes 3 to 4 tries to figure out what search text to use to get the device to show in the pick list. Once you find it, the download game begins. Another classic example: as of this morning, goo.im doesn't have 2.8.5.0.What the hell, click the mirror (I think the meaning of mirror isn't lost on this crowd) and the techerrata site has everything.

Device bricked?

Argh, Just bricked my SM-P900... can this be helped

Situation:

i) TWRP installed 2.8.5 and was working beautifully

ii) CyangenMod 12 was installed and working beautifully

ii) Decided to perform a factory reset on my tablet using Android settings option and now the device continually boots to the TWRP start screen and gets no further.

I cannot boot into TWRP

I cannot boot into the Android O.S.

I can access the download mode (power-volume down), so tried re-installing TWRP using Odin (3.09); problem still remains. Tried version TWRP 2.8.4 AND 2.8.5.

Can anything be done?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] wleesee:
--Solved--

SOLUTION: I installed the stock standard firmware (which included a boot img) from the samMobile website using ODIN. My device went back to factory standard and is now up and running with TRWP and Lollipop again.

Interesting how this could have happened (I was in the midst of checking my bank balance to buy another Note Pro)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Were you encrypted?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] wleesee:
No Encryption.

I suspect the problem started 3 days ago when I tried to root using CF AutoRoot via ODIN. My tablet froze and I needed to reinstall TWRP to get the tablet working again. I then rooted using TWRP (root zip file).

3 days later (this morning) - I decided to factory reset" the device and whola... the tablet was stuck at the TWRP loading screen. Now fixed.. but something to be mindful of.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] BadBrew:
I have a similar issue doing it for the first time on my tablet but I'm still stock ROM, using ODIN 3.09 to push TWRP 2.8.5 which came successful in ODIN but unable to boot into recovery (still goes into stock Android recovery).

Hopefully [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] gonna fix it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You need to parse the updater-script and figure out where it's failing or bailing out.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] peter.neilmann:
I already did it and didn't find the culprit, actually, I was wondering if it could be something into the recovery. I remember that something like this happened with my old Galaxy S2 and was recovery related, you fixed on the S2.. could it be the same problem? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] andrew.mackew:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], in my case, could you please take a look into the updater binary and update script that I attached previously? I double checked the update script but don't know how to verify if the updater binary has any problem..
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] andrew.mackew:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] could you please share with me an updater binary for this device? I tried to look into your recovery zip however no zip has a meta-inf folder..

Any help will be much appreciated.

No, it's failing silently. You will need to trace the updater-script to see why.

Stock Recovery Won't Go Away

I'm using Odin3 v3.07 (even 3.09 once) to flash TWRP. I'm getting a pass in ODIN, but when I go into recovery, it is still the stock recovery. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried flashing both twrp-2.8.0.0-v1awifi.img.tar and twrp-2.8.6.0-v1awifi.img.tar

I have model SM-P900.

I am having the same problem, but the "fix' linked to at the bottom of this post seems to be for something else, ie, it assumes twrp works, when it actually being installed is exactly the problem (odin3 v1.85, openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-v1awifi.img.tar, SM-P900 stock, unrooted, North American wifi only). Odin says "PASS" when flashing twrp, but the recovery remains stock...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] ftdn2006:
It's really tricky. You have to make sure that when it reboots, you go into recovery before it boots. I couldn't time the button pushing, so I had to hold the buttons before actually booting and continue holding until it completed. So basically turn the tablet off. Hold the buttons to enter recovery and then turn it on while still holding the buttons.

screen brightness setting doesn't work

hi, I would like to request the screen brightness fixed if / when the next update is ready -- my screen (digitizer maybe?) is burning out and the entire screen will flicker-off at high brightness. the higher the brightness, the more frequent. low brightness it rarely does it. I don't want to worsen the problem :(

it does this in OS, recovery, and bootloader modes alike so I am led to believe it's not software causing it

I've tried decreasing brightness in recovery and it has no effect (even after a reboot). I have has issues with random reboots in the past with screen timeout enabled so I try to stay away from that. it was a different device with reboots but I'm still nervous about that

Note 12.2 Qualcomm LTE TWRP !!!!

Hi guys.

I have managed to repack and combine:

1) Stock SM-P905 recovery (Note Pro 12.2 LTE Qualcomm based) for kernel image and some default.prop entries

2) TWRP 2.7.0.0 TWRP for Note 10.1 (2014 edition LTE, Qualcom based too) for ramdisk content.

I ve decided to do this, coz N10.1 2014 has the same screen resolution and - what's essential! - fs partitions scheme.

In result, here's FIRST WORKING CUSTOM RECOVERY for Note Pro 12.2 LTE (aka Vienna LTE / SM-P905),

TWRP 2.7 NOTE PRO 12.2 LTE P905 HOMEMADE REPACK .

Download link:

http://www42.zippyshare.com/v/1934711/file.html

Installation:

1) Root your device with Odin/CF-Root (if dont afraid of tripping knox = losing the warranty...)

2) download the file above and place it in the root folder of internal sdcard (i.e. in /sdcard/twrp_viennalte.img)

3) Install Terminal Emulator from GPlay and run it

4) type "su" and give Terminal a root permissions (permanently, if i may suggest)

5) as root, type:

dd if=/sdcard/twrp_viennalte.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

Warning: typing the wrong number may and WILL damage your device , so double-check the syntax...

6) reboot to recovery using key combo - or simply type "reboot recovery"

7) Enjoy!

Above can be ofc completed by adb, etc.

Before flashing twrp, you may want to take backup of the stock one, by typing: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/stock.img. Also, /efs backup is recommended as it is containing unique device data like IMEI, which may be unrecoverable if lost.

YOU ARE DOING IT ON UR OWN - not mine! - RESPONSIBILITY!

Working:

- backup to internal sd

- backup to external sd if it is VFAT formatted (!!!) - YES!!!!!

- restoring (!!!!!!!!) TESTED BY MYSELF, FULL BACKUP, FULL WIPE AND FULL RESTORE SUCCEDEED.

- installing zips

- wiping partitions

- terminal

- file manager

- ADB

- seems everything!!!! Except...

Not working:

- backup to external sd if it is EXFAT formatted (no writing permissions, probably sth relatrd to SELinux as discussed above, im not an expert...)

Well, I have taken a unused 8gb card, formatted it to vfat and for a while, im going to use it as a removable backup media (while I am using 64gb exfat for normal usage), swapping them from time to time to do a backup seems not to be a huge problem, but now I can feel free to mod this baby without taking a risk of starting from scratch every time something goes bad, at least until official TWRP will be released for LTE version.

PS: all the credits shall go to TeamWin only, me just got smart idea to combine their hard and great work with sammy's zImage.

Hope ull enjoy this. Have fun.
