I have tried the version 2.8.0.0 of TWRP. Unfortunately, it can not reasonably use the Recovery: reacts very slowly or not at all inputs. Am therefore back to 2.7.0.2
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you describe more about what parts of the experience in TWRP that is slow?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] René Hitz:
I formatted the cache in the recovery. That took extremely long (over 15 minutes). Some menu items could not be selected. I could not set the system time, the menu did not respond properly to inputs and TWRP blocked finally complete. After restarting the SM-P900 did not work properly, so I had to re-flash the Originalrom to end. At the moment i stay in this configuration because I have no time for further experiments. I have rooted the tablet and uninstalled the apps i don't want.

Hi [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] . If you have time would you please check the stock recovery of SM-P901 that I uploaded on google drive to see if it's the same as SM-P900 so we can flash SM-P900's TWRP recovery on SM-P901? Sorry for bothering you! THANKS.

Tab Pro 12.2 LTE

I have a question as for my device SM-P905V LTE version as i have root but am i supposed to use CF Autoroot? I cant find a custom recovery and I am afraid of messing my tablet up. I am not new to rooting and unlocked bootloaders but samsung line of products I am new. I used towelroot and have busybox but where would i go from there as I am afraid to mess with the device without a recovery and TWRP didnt flash. Any help is appreciated! Thanks,

Hi bigbiff,

I installed new TWRP 2.8 on my SM-P905. No problem...

but when with TWRP I make a backup to sd ext or sd int, then the backups are successfully. But no files write in the backup-directory in sd int or sd ext. What is the problem what is false ?

Many thanks for your work...

Hi bigbiff,

when I select external_sd under root, then there is TWRP/BACKUPS but not TWRP/serial/BACKUPS.

Can you post /tmp/recovery.log? Is there anything under BACKUPS?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bemanet:
hi bigbiff,

under the Directory BACKUPS is only an old backup of TWRP 7. In the tmp directory, the recovery.log is empty.

The log which one I posted yesterday was also not in the directory tmp.

You can do install TWRP without installing root first?

For me rooting didn't work. Was many months ago. SMP900. I should check out the other forums to see if there has been any new developments. Root. Want. :P
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Yes, you can install the supersu/superuser zip from TWRP.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you try Settings->Restore Defaults then see if backing up works?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] Redsandro:
That sounds easy. Does it trigger KNOX warranty?

I already rooted a minute ago using the old method:

It does void KNOX warranty.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bemanet:
Hi bigbiff,

I have now carried out "Restore Defaults". Then a backup on SD-EXT started. This backup shows me in TWRP also that it was successful. But after a reboot, I can not find any backup data again. I have now been looking for a log. This log is now under /cache/recovery "last_log".

After I have now a backup executed on the internal memory. This backup has worked and it can be found the backup data in the internal memory.

So only the backup to external-SD does not seem to work.

Do you need the "last_log" again?

Thanks and Regards
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
How did you select external storage to backup? Using the button right?

Tried to update TWRP to 2.7.0.1 via .zip install in old recovery. Won't install through twrp 2.7.0.0. Installed OK via Odin 3.09. Booted into new TWRP, created backup (including Cache partition). Tried advanced wipe of Dalvik Cache and Cache. Failed on Cache wipe. Rebooted recovery. Advance wipe of Cache only. It will sit there at formatting Cache using makeExt4 for a few minutes then tablet reboots into recovery. Tried again with same result. Then restored Cache from last backup. Took a few minutes, but seems to have worked. Booted back into system, and everything seems OK there too.

Used Syslog to capture all logs.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] Mike02z:
Very odd...

I flashed with Odin 3.07 and between last night and today, have gone into recovery 10 times and wiped cache and Dalvik and not once did it reboot into recovery automatically for me. It also never failed for me but did take 5 minutes one time. The average time it is taking me is about 3 minutes to complete the cache wipe.

Just for the heck of it, restore your entire backup and flash again via Odin 3.07 and see if you have the same behavior.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] dodo99x:
OK, reflashed 2.7.0.1 via Odin 3.07. Created a fresh backup. Rebooted Recovery. Tried a restore of all partitions, including Cache. It hanged on formatting Cache for a few minutes then Rebooted in Recovery. Tried another restore, but this time it restored Cache partition in 18 seconds. However, when it got to restoring System, it Rebooted again back into recovery. Then did a restore of System only, which worked in ~215 seconds. Rebooted into System and all seems fine. It also did the Upgrading applications thing before completing boot. I keep getting an error in Syslog when I try to collect all logs like I did before. Let me know if you need anything.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Do you get this behavior in 2.7.0.0? Also can you try settings-> use rm -rf instead of formatting
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] dodo99x:
Never tried a wipe or a restore using 2.7.0.0 only a full backup.

Activated the RM -rf option. Backup was successful and also the restore.

Right after I tried an Advanced Wipe of Cache and Dalvik. Both worked successfully. When I booted into System, Android upgraded my 152 apps before fully booting.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If you have some time please see if it works differently in 2.7.0.0. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] dodo99x:
No time sorry. Been tearing my hair out as to why I couldn't save any files to internal sdcard after my last restore. Fix Permissions wasn't fixing the problem. Was able to fix it all by installing Folder Mount from Play Store. It detected a problem with one of my partitions. Although the app didnt say what the issue was and how it was fixed. I was told the problem was fixed and asked to reboot. It was like /sdcard or /emulated/0 was mounted read only. Couldn't even save a pic or file from Drive or Chrome etc to my Download folder. All is good now, thankfully.

Amazing job guys. Reading this makes me sad that I returned my wifi model and an waiting for the Verizon version to arrive tomorrow. We don't even have root acheived yet. :(

Just a quick question. Device is the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 P900 wifi. when attempting to do a backup, if I choose to backup to the external sd card a message is displayed that it failed to create backup directory. It almost seems like the same issue that Kit Kat has with write permissions to the sd card. Is there a work around for this, so a backup can be made to the external sd card? Using TWRP version 2.7.0.1

Some stupid question. I installed an app from Google Play to reboot directly to TWRP... But is there any way to boot into TWRP by pressing some buttons? I always used Power on/off button + Volume Down on different devices, however it's not working here.

Sorry for stupid question, I just got my first Samsung device and it works a little bit different here :)

Hi,

Can the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-v1awifi.img.tar be used with the Note 12.2 (3G) version (SM-P901)?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Original Android Development] Zugshad:
Yes, home button + vol up(think up for recovery and down for download) then power and when Samsung screen comes on let go of power,

Also no need for that app if you have xsposed and wanam, you can go to the system option and enable the 4way reboot and recovery becomes an option from power menu

Hi,

Is there any difference between the P905 and the P905M? I'm trying hard to get the TWRP recovery to work on my device but so far no success at all. I always end with the message saying that the recovery is not SE Linux Enforced, or something alike. Tried the ODIN method and copying the image directly to the recovery partition using ADB but the results are always the same. I lost count of how many times I've flashed the cf-root to bring the tablet back to life.

One thing that makes me think that there is something really different between these devices is that I can't flash a P905 (no M) firmware, only the ones for my device get successfully flashed.

Any thoughts that could save my night (or day)?
