[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
I'm not on my computer, so I'm not sure which firmware version I used. But as long as it's the Kit Kat for the 907a you should be fine. At this point, if I were you, I'd reflash the firmware and root with Towelroot, and leave Knox alone.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Oh and there's also a debloat script floating around here somewhere. I think it's got an OTA avoidance feature, along with some other optional goodies. I'd flash that too.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnic32:
Reflashing as we speak. I did read something about an ota script. Think they said that's exactly what it prevents. [MENTION=3125615]911jason[/MENTION] Appreciate your quick response and input.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnic32:
well did all the above and its still rebooting randomly. looks like this maybe a long nite.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
Did you use it with lollipop at all before downgrading to see if it was running fine? Wonder if it could be a hardware issue?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnic32:
Well it came with lollipop, but as soon as I got home I immediately tried to downgrade. After a couple of hours of trying to run kitkat (rooted or unrooted) unsuccessfully, upgraded back to 5.1.1. No rebooting issue since. I'm thinking it maybe something with hardware as it was sold as a Samsung factory refurbished.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
Well if it's not rebooting on lollipop, then I don't think it's hardware related. Can you link me to the thread where you found the Kit Kat firmware?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
Yeah, those are the files I used. Just like others in that thread said, I didn't disable Knox and have never had any reboot issues. Sorry man, I'm kind of at a loss at this point. Will they let you exchange the tablet since you just got it yesterday?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnic32:
I forgot to say the last thing i did last nite was reflash lollipop back to the device and of course no reboots! So whatever Samsung did when they refurb this baby, it will not work seemlessly with kitkat anymore, or every for that fact. Might be why it was refurbed. So its not really that bad, I just wanted to root this puppy. Im not real concerned about the bloat, i just want to change the keyboard back to kitkat and the weather widget also.

Are you using the superuser from the store or one from the forum?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
I'm using SuperSU Pro from the store, but I'm not sure what I used when I first flashed.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnic32:
Well I have tried everything to fix the reboot issue and nothing has worked. I think i may have a newer bootloader than others here. My only issue thats keeping me from running lollipop is the fact that the ext sd wont let me write to it without root. Does anybody know a work around for this? If so i would be content running 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnic32:
Do you think something like this would work for us if someone could create us a custom kernel?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteprouser64:
I'm running Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 ATT SM-P907A Lolipop 5.11 rooted

I hesitate to post this cause its a bit complicated..

First this is a great tablet but ships unsecured and bloated..

My interest in rooting my differ from most, I just wanted to gain root access and full control of the device that I own, its network connections, and freeze or remove ad based software, I have no interest in disabling knox security.

my android setup:

SM-907A version: 5.1.1

baseband version: P907AUCU1B0H3

Kernel version: 3.4.0-5591930

Root solution: KingRoot 5.01 XDA version

system went thru a few hiccups initially an the rooting process stuck at 10% or 17% complete

don't really remember the exact percent but then I installed and ran "Root Booster - Dominik Nozke; I used the Stability boost option after that completed I rebooted and King Root was fully established.

Problems Encountered:

KingRoot is adware and frequently attempts to send data to Hong Kong dont know what data is being sent..

maybe someone should sniff packets because currently there is no way to purchase a secured version.

I had no luck removing kingRoot and replacing it with superSU

my attempts, either removed root or bricked tablet, had to go back to kitkat then 2 more updates to recover 5.11

Solution: stay rooted but block KingRoot

I disabled the Battery charging lock screen option that will kill the ads

I used a Network connections monitor and a rooted host editor to track IPs and block KingRoot

and related services and I used adguard as a proxy with includes firewall to also block KingRoot.

system is very stable no random reboots or persistent problems

I would like to install TWRP recovery but so far not available for sm-p907a

If anyone has a solution for installing TWRP recovery on this device please let me know

Thanks

and hth
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
Wow! This could not have come at a better time for me. I downloaded the files this morning to go back to stock (currently on rooted KitKat) and I'm planning to try Lollipop again tomorrow morning. Can you post links to the apps you used to block KingRoot? Also details for configuring them to do so? I realize I'm asking a lot, no worries if you'd prefer not to. I'll try to figure out.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteprouser64:
Sure.. your a senior member you have probably already help me

I'm the newbie so thanks

no links, available in google playstore:

Network Connections - Anit Spy Mobile

- displays ip connections, destinations, whois details and maps for all internet connecting apps and services.

- tapping the ip once displays the whois info tapping the ip again copies the ip to the clipboard

- will help you get a handle on all app and services not just kingroot

Hosts Editor - Nilhcem

- the host file basically an ip router

- allows you to route a domain name to an internal ip if your setting up a web server

- or route and outbound ip to an internal ip (loopback) or to a different external ip.

You just need to know the destination ip which is why you need to monitor each app or services outgoing ip connections. This way you may wish to allow some connections and block others. like a firewall.

The difference is with a firewall you can create a inbound / outbound rules to apply globally or to a specific app or service. The host file on the other hand is not selective any app or service that tries to connect to the ip

you add the the host file will be re-routed.

host file rules:

- # = comment so first active line should be 127.0.0.1 localhost un commented

- next line should contain the ip you wish to block, can be any destination you dont wont connecting:

example:

#internal ip is 127.0.0.1 destination is localhost (your computers local loopback)

127.0.0.1 localhost

#blocked ips

14.17.43.150 localhost

14.17.43.153 localhost

you could just install a firewall like netguard or adguard to block Kingroot and blacklist outbound ip's that way..

setup is very simple most have good documentation.

Is this the method you used to try and install SuperSU?

Root for Fire Phone with SuperSU
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteprouser64:
no, I used super-sume pro which was touted to work.

which failed to install superSu and disabled root. It was suggested somewhere to install earlier version of kingroot first which bricked my tablet.

but if you get results with that method let me know

So far no luck getting KingRoot to work. =(

Mine is all the same, except my Baseband version is P907AUCS1BOH5.

From my original state of rooted 4.4.2, I installed the original 4.4.2 firmware using Odin, then installed the small 115mb OTA and the Lollipop 1gb OTA. While I was setting up my apps I got an automatic update from AT&T that brought the "Security Enhancements for Android status" up to Fri Nov 25 2016.

so if i buy one off swappa can it be rooted? if so how? i mean it might come with higher then 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcuser32:
Not sure anymore I just tried several times to root a another SM-907A same specs and no luck failed

not sure what happened.

maybe kingRoot has disabled rooting this device. maybe they were doing more than just capturing ip locations and generating ads. I emailed support no answers yet

if your on 4.4.2 towelroot worked fine for me
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteprouser64:
No running 5.1.1. SMP907A had success on one device but can't duplicate it #fluke

my attempts to install kingroot now just puts unwanted software on and establishes a direct constant connection to hong kong china!!! so BEWARE!!! because without root there is no way to block this connection.

[MENTION=7016678]xda mod[/MENTION]erators if you have any influence you should ask the folks over at kingRoot to stop this behavior!

I only used kingRoot in the first place because I read about it here.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcuser32:
after rooting from version 4.4.2 with towelroot were you able to upgrade to lollipop and keep root?

if so how?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajkan:
WORD UP BRO!

Kingroot should be hang with a thickest rope possible, kill this freaking madness. Kingroot is a serious serious security issue for Android users. I do not understand how people are still using this piece of shiiiiiiit. Xda admins should delete every post instance where kingroot is recommended as a solution.

If you care about your well being, your privacy, welfare of your family, little kittens and the lives of new born puppies do not use Kingroot under any conditions.

Back to the topic, has there been any success to root SM-P907A with Lollipop? Will systemless root thing work?

I got temporary root with kingroot (pc version and android version running at the same time) by first replacing my sd card with newly pc formatted one. I was not sure what to do next.

I did manage to disable the att splash screen but not sound, & install busybox.

When I rebooted, superuser binary files remained but root was gone (see screen shots)

[IMG="SuperUser Binaries"]https://s19.postimg.org/n9cqjmavn/Screenshot_2017-04-09-00-46-15.png[/IMG]

When I type su in terminal I get Connection to ui timed out

anyone know how to fix this?

[IMG="BusyBox Enabled"]https://s19.postimg.org/mxva6uufn/Screenshot_2017-04-09-00-36-29.png[/IMG]

lots of unix commands now available, anyone know if busybox can be used to fully root a device?

if so how?

Would setting SELinux to Permissive have prevented losing root?

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaonds:
Please, I'm a little unsure to install TWRP because I'm on android 4.4.2 (with root) but I'm seeing several people with problems after installing.

So I ask (for those who understand the subject): I will stay with the Stock ROM for now, could show me which apps I can freeze on start, and improve system performance?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cal:
Get one of the Root Uninstallers and *don't* uninstall any green icon app if your not sure of what it does. Also try and not completely uninstall - but put the apps you discard in the trash so you 'can' retrieve them. In other words - say your not going to be editing movies, uninstall it to the trash, etc. That's one way.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haldi4803:
Hi Guys,

Anyone here living in a COLD country and using the Xperia Z2 outdoors ?

Currently it's summer here and we have 25-35°C Outdoor temperature here.

But when i put my Smartphone in the fridge (for Benchmark purposes, obviously) i relaised that the Smartphone likes to crash around 10-15°C Core Temperature!

I'm saying this because my old Xperia Z managed these temperatures without problems. Now you wonder, why do i care? Well, i go skiing in the winter, and there is an outdoor temperatuer of -20 to -5°C ! Sure the phone is in the pocket, which makes it a lot warmer, but still its cold!

So anyone in cold cilmatics can confirm this problem, or does it only happen in the fridge ?

Greets,

Haldi

But why... If device can send\recive SMS messages. Can use 3g network... Why can not just voice dial.

I think that if radio has 3g support, the device has voice dial support, but there can be only software limitations.

[Google Chromecast] Malibuz0r:
So I've been using the feature in the Chromecast plugin to cast a tab to view videos.. but it buffers A LOT. Now, I know its not my internet because when I'm on netflix and cast to Chromecast, there's no buffering at all. Same thing with youtube. Is there a fix for this or a workaround to cast flash(mostly) videos?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
There are generally two reasons you'll see buffering/stuttering when casting a tab or the entire desktop

The audio/video isn't getting from your computer to Chromecast fast enough

Your computer isn't fast enough to provide the audio/video to Chromecast in real-time

Tab and desktop casting essentially requires the computer to

Receive the content from the Internet (load on network)

Display/decode the content (load on CPU)

Encode the content into a Chromecast-friendly format (load on CPU)

Send the encoded content to Chromecast (load on network)

So, if your computer is too busy decoding the content and not enough CPU time is available to encode it to a Chromecast-friendly format, you will get buffer/stutter.

Likewise, if your computer's network connection cannot sustain the download of content from Internet and send of the recompressed content to Chromecast in real-time, you will get buffer/stutter.

Since it sounds like you're viewing Flash video content, make sure Hardware Acceleration is enabled - that should reduce the CPU load when Flash stuff is displaying.

Also note that the "recompress to Chromecast-friendly format" does not seem to be parallelized much, if at all, so a faster single or dual-core suste, will likely do better than a slower multi-core system.

This is really starting to do my head in... its so frustrating...

Since switching from my old trusty (?) Blue Angel on WM2003 to my new Wizard on WM5 this week I just can't seem to get anythingto work properly...

First off Avantgo and ActiveSync... I've tried 4.1 as supplied with the phone. 4.2 and 4.5b2. I've tried the latest AvantGo6... but 9 out of 10 times when ActiveSync tried to synchronise my AvatGo stuff it just sits there for hours and hours pretending to sync (the display claims 0/1 in the progress in ActiveSync).

Then there's TomTom (Navigator 5)... I finally got it to install by manually clicking each .cab file in the 2577 folder.. but now none of my POIs show up on the maps. THey are not TomTom POI files so they are not locked to a product code, and the POIs are searchable, so the files are being read..

Then there's getting the thing to work as a bluetooth connected GPRS modem.. or not as the case may be. Haven't got anywhere with that one.

The GPRS monitor software supplied with the phone by O2.. somewhow didn't install the Today plug in part so I had to contact spb and get them to give me a serial number for the latest version (which they did - thanks guys!).

Bluetooth connections to things just seem shoddy under WM5 altogether. The WM2003 way worked perfectly for me, I just don't get the new way.

I might even have to come back and add more to this rant as I discover more annoyances! Not really Wizard specific stuff I guess, but WM5 stuff in general... arrrggghhh.
