Did you try it? mine is rooted i can show a pic if you want
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] tyger71:
Thanks for your response, no need for a screenshot, just haven't seen anything with the same baseband/build and don't want to brick it since I can't afford to replace it atm. :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] pbaden:
Me too. Same one exactly and rooted. I was getting the custom padlock until I install triangle away.

Only problem I've had is the external sd card got corrupted and unreadable for some reason, but I did buy a cheap one. still, wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with external SD getting corrupted.

Also-ran a backup through online nandroid, without errors. but did get errors when I went to look at it in nandroid manager.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] pbaden:
From nandroid manager. Suspect it has something to do with no custom recovery?

Was thinking about picking one of these up. This will still work if I went to pick one up today? Have to have root on every android device.

Anyone hear if we'll get a Lollipop upgrade for this device?

I just installed JasmineROM Lollipop 5.0.1 on my Note 3 and man, it is like a brand new device. I would love to do the same on the Note Pro.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] aburns7487:
There is a lollipop version going for a p905 but whobthe heck knows with Verizon!! They ruined a great tablet ny locking bootloader. So annoying. Would love to see though
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] pbaden:
I have a note 3 also. Someone mentioned this, but has anyone tried the verizon note3 safestrap app to see if it will allow us to get around the locked bootloader.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] aburns7487:
Towelroot method works up to Android 4.4.2 then i believe that exploit/work around is patched. Mine is still on it and working but no custon recovery, no ROMs...for the amoubt we paid this is horrendous! I love the size. I had the note 10.1 2014 wifi version p600 but it would drain fairly quick and then take forever to recharge. So i went for P905V LTE, i have since cancelled the LTE as I saw no benefit and could just use my phone as a wifi hotspot for free. as no other carrier at the time had it, plus it was suppose to offer the 805 chip that had fast charging. It does at least allow you if you have plugged in to still use it without it draining fast then replenishing like the P600

Oh well...

Love to find out if safestrap works

Is there a bounty for a bootloader unlock?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] aburns7487:
Nobody is doing it...weve had the tablet many months and nothing has been achieved gor this version unfortunately due to the locked bootloader which stinks especially since we paid more money for it.

How can I check if I have a locked bootloader?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jamiejames:
Can't believe not one rom. Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] tdetroit:
For one it's a Niche Product....not a lot of folks have it because of the "odd" screen size. Second...you can thank Verizon for locking the bootloader which stymied further development. I think if more people had the Verizon version, a bigger effort/push would have been made to crack the bootloader, but most folks have the WiFi version or other unlocked versions, and there are some Roms out for them. The NP 12.2 was the last Tablet I'll get directly from Verizon. That's also the reason I got the Nexus 6 because Verizon didn't tamper with it too much.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jamiejames:
I should of got the WiFi version. Don't have a clue what I was thinking. I figured high end attention I guess. I also have the nexus 6 for my need to tinker. Just started using extreme syndicate v8 on my s6 edge and love it. Can't believe there's not even an alliance rom for the 12.2. Guess I'll sell and get the WiFi version. Even the 5.0 update would be nice. Thanks verizon.

Error in debloat

I managed to debloat my tablet and I think I may have deleted something important. I don't believe I removed anything that wasn't recommended, but I'm getting a "com.android.systemui has stopped" error sometimes after the screen times out, which won't go away without a factory reset. Ideas?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] pUMPer1985:
Still nothing?

Hey there, is there still no chance to beat the dumb bootloader of p905v? I would really do a nice CFW on my Tablet. Hope, that some Proffessional could fix that retarded Verizon bootloader.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] jamiejames:
Anyone try TR on 5.1.1 yet? Or any other root method.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Sess:
Towelroot does not work on 5.1.1.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kirewade:
kingroot is your only Chance of root on 5.1.1 but with such a small sample i dont think they will even bother.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] lilmi:
I know this may seem dumb, but let me ask 1 question first. Is knox the reason rooters don't work on Verizon galaxy devices so well?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
My understanding is it's not knox but the locked bootloaders which block us from flashing custom software.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] str8upx:
If everyone on 5.1.1 installed King root and ran the app it would increase the number of requests and we may have a chance for them to support our device (p905v). King root uses a unique identifier so don't brother running the app more then once trying to increase requests.

Edit: Kingroot requests have reached the minimum for them to consider the p905v. New requests will increase the priority.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] lilmi:
i think that i can disable all the knox from the settings/app manager/all menue. thats why i asked.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] redxblood85:
Does this root method work on 5.1.1?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] raf1919:
I just got this tab and spent hours trying to root and came across this... is there still no root? would i need to downgrade to root and than install CM
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
if you have the P905V (Verizon) model then to root you would need to be on android 4.4

in addition the bootloader is locked on this model so installing CM is currently not possible.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] raf1919:
How can I downgrade without custom recovery
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Saltysam1:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] PlagasX:
Is it worth upgrading to 5.1.1 and not having root??
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
For a lot of people yes its definitely worth upgrading.

personally i need root more than 5.1 features so i havent updated.

Try unrooting or just not using apps that require root access for a week on 4.4 and see if you can live without them.

Day to day stuff between the two versions really isnt that much different so if you cant live without root apps on 4.4 you will probably miss them on 5.1 and should not update.

It really depends on your usage.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
Per kest874: Install and open, click "welcome to towelroot v3" 3 times and enter text: 1337 0 1 7380 4 0

once I did that on mine it went through
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] anyandy:
Unbelievable !

And how i can to change firmware to non verison?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
If you have the Verizon version (P905V) then unfortunately the boot-loader is locked for now so we are stuck with rooted stock firmware.

your options for now are:

Stock Android 4.4 with or without root access

Stock android 5.1 without root access

Personally I chose to stay with rooted 4.4

the three major downsides I've found for myself specific to staying on Android 4.4 vs 5.1 are:

There are some issues with the open GL drivers in 4.4, this outright brakes Reicast and the ability to emulate Dreamcast games as well as some other minor issues in other applications.

USB (DAC) audio adapter support is non existent below android 5.0, if you plan to use your tablet for music recording you would be limited to adapters that use the microphone jack which are far inferior.

4.4 lacks certain DRM support for HD playback so some services (VUDU for sure) will limit you to SD playback, though note that other services don't have this issue.

there are likely other items but those are the three things I do wish I had which could be fixed by moving to 5.1 but I've stayed behind for the root access for now.

Does anyone know how to root the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905Vwith 5.1.1?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Bubz4preZ:
Note Pro 12.2 5.1.1 Rooted!

I've successfully rooted the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 on android 5.1.1 using the latest updated KingRoot. The 1st time I tried to root, kingroot rebooted my note pro twice around 15% and 17% then failed around 20%. I then rebooted the device to try to root again and to my suprise I see the samsung splashscreen with the custom unlocked logo instead of the regular splash screen. This lead me to the google play store to download the root checker app, which when ran, showed I did not have root. I rebooted again and the custom logo was gone, which lead me to try to root again with kingroot, with no success.... Yet i saw the custom logo again. On my 3rdtry with kingroot, after the second reboot at 17% i saw the custom logo again. This time instead of opening king root to see if it had finished, i went straight to the root checker app. After hitting verify root, the kingroot popup appeared asking if i wanted to give rootchecker root access!!!! Which i obviously agreed to. This led to a successful root on my Samsung Note Pro 12.2 on 5.1.1 . Im not sure if opening the root checker app durring root installation helped or not, but that is what worked for me. I was successfully able to remove verizon bloatwear from my tablet, and now depend on kingroot for root access for apps. I tried uninstalling kingroot and replacing with supersu with no success. But its ROOTED on 5.1.1 Finally !!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] kpk660:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] amdhunter:
Can anyone confirm? I wanted to update my tablet for a while since it stopped working on wifi reliably. It's been sitting for months doing nothing. This would give me some sort of hope to go ahead and take it out for a spin.

EDIT: F it. I am updating my tablet now and will report back later today. If it doesn't work, whatever.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Bubz4preZ:
I can confirm that my tablet is still rooted and works great with kingroot. :good:

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

I would love to have twrp but I guess you cant have your cake and eat it too. Maybe safestrap or flashfire can be used (although I have not tried it).

Ive been using this as a notebook/textbook for the last semester and could not risk damaging it. Hopefully as i play around with it now throughout the winter break I can get supersu in.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] amdhunter:

Thanks, but still a no-go. I just updated to lollipop yesterday, so maybe I have just a slightly different version of 5.1.1 that isn't rootable. :(

Ah well. It's an old tablet now. I got my money's worth (only paid $200.)

Time to start looking for a new one.

Were you guys rooted prior to upgrading? Trying to figure out what I am missing... I really want root for this beast , there isn't anything else like it with the pen and LTE beside windows devices.... Any help would be great
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] woodenconstruction:
It worked well for me. Have been on 4.4.2 for almost 2 years to keep root until now :) To answer a previous post from someone else, there is only 1 version or variant of lollipop for the p905V. What worked for me was to flash the OS with Odin. I then rebooted into recovery and formatted all data as well as the cache partition. Then reboot and did kingroot with a fresh install from their webpage. It rebooted my phone a couple times partway through, and never seemed to reach 100%. I stopped opening kingroot because it keeps trying to pick up where it left off, but I still have root, even after a reboot or shutdown...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] leo5111:
so if i buy the verizon 1 can i get it rooted or what? i mean is there a version of rom that cant be rooted? and can kingroot be disabled or frozen after it roots it? also if i get one higher then 4.4.2 can i odin it down to 4.4.2 again and kingroot it? if i take updates does that kill the root?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] amdhunter:
Is there an Odin tutorial anywhere? I would like to try.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] azrale21:
I will try this when I get home and post my results.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] woodenconstruction:
Make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. Boot your device into download mode. Open Odin and check the AP box and point to md5 file. I believe the 2 options that are selected by default are auto reboot and f reset time. Select these and flash away. Also, start with a full battery.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
no luck for me so far so 3 out of 5 now.

I'm still trying every once in a while though, maybe I'll get lucky. :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] amdhunter:
Flashed fine and still nothing. I had a beam of hope when it rebooted at 15%, which it didnt do before. Still nothing though. Maybe over the weekend I'll play with it more.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] woodenconstruction:
Mine rebooted twice at 15%. The third time I opened the app after reboot and it got to 17% is when I obtained root.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] woodenconstruction:
Any luck amdhunter?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] amdhunter:
Nothing. I'll try again tonight since the wife will be out with her friends shopping and I'll have some free time. Usually I'll sneak in some porn time, but this is more important!!! :laugh:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] amdhunter:
Still nothing.

Used Odin to clean install, but it's a no go. Tried sticking a SIM card in, tried updating all my apps (google play services), tried rooting as the first thing, tried praising Jesus, Allah, Steve Jobs and the Flying Spagetti Monster...and nothing. :(

I'm still liking the tablet better with Lollipop and debloating everything, but I do miss root.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
I'm in the same boat, nothing is working for me yet either but I'm still re-downloading kingroot and retrying every few days hoping it will work eventually.

I was also surprised at how well 5.1 works.

and Dreamcast emulation works now in 5.1 haha so I spent my break today playing echo the dolphin.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] cmcnabb:
I found the king root program to be unsatisfactory. I can't say for certain why, but it felt like it was doing mal-ware type stuff in the background (decreased battery life, etc.) It also actively prevents you from replacing it with SuperSU. I've returned my note pro to stock because I don't trust kingroot to not be doing bad stuff in the background.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] amdhunter:
Can you guys who are rooted check your software version?

There seems to be 2 of them in the wild for 5.1.1

P905VVRUANK5 (SU3A)

P905VVRUBOH1 (SU3B)

I have SU3B. I am wondering if this is the reason some of can't update? I can't find the SU3A firmware to attempt anything. :(

Hi! Thank you so much for this post!

I installed Towelroot, opened it, tapped "welcome to towelroot v 3" three times, entered the code you posted and clicked "make it ra1n". I received the message saying my phone isn't yet supported. Do i need to try doing this many times before it will work? I factory reset my note pro sm p905v yesterday, and tried running towelroot several times today, without success. :'(

Thank you in advance!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
Just a note, the towelroot method doesnt work for android 5.1 so far only kingroot has worked for some people but there seems to be an issue for people on RUBOH1 using that method as well.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Gonkulor:
I will ditto the recent update. Verizon P905v is now updating to LMY47X.P905VVRSBPL1 Android version 5.1.1

It would be nice if this new update regained a little interest in these devices.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] miamore:
Hello!

Thank you for your reply!

I have tried King Root and Kingo Root, but they didn't work either :(

I factory reset as a brand new device to see if it might help the rebooting issue, but it didn't. It's actually worse. Very frustrating because I use the tablet for work. I lose recently entered information when it reboots. It used start the boot loop at around 25% battery. Eventually it started the boot loop at 60%. Now it does it even fully charged. Today it's rebooting and just turning off. It's fully charged and plugged in. Plugging it in ordinarily stops the boot loop.

Is there a way to change the firmware to one of the other versions for the same device? I think the answer is no, because if you could, all of the smart senior members would've already done that and been able to root. But, I'm new at this, so in case I am missing something, I thought I'd ask. This issue is causing so much issue that I will need to use a different device if it continues to reboot.

I'm a musician. I save and read all of my music on my tablet. I need the screen to be paper sized and have the ability to write on it.

Thank you all!

Mia
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] firefly6240:
unfortunately the rebooting and screen flickering is a common issue.

it is usually caused by the battery connector not being soldered properly to the motherboard.

some have also reported the battery connector on the battery side being the culprit.

and least commonly a bad battery can cause it.

The symptoms of needing the connector re-soldered are:

Screen flickering

random reboots

sometimes the device gets stuck in a reboot loop until plugged in

no issues when plugged in

if its still under warranty Samsung will fix it.

if not a cell phone repair shop and some computer shops can usually make the repair.

or if you want to try some things yourself you can start here with this thread by ElsaReyes

this thread is also helpful

note that the solder points are tiny, if you try to do that yourself you will definitely need some magnification.

the people with the most luck use a microscope but those are expensive, a good magnifying glass will work as well.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] WilMcC:
In Between

I bought a refurbished Sm-905V off eBay. I have been happy with it, I rooted it, etc.

However, I wanted to upgrade the rom, and I thought I could do it with Verizon's update. I stuck my phone sim card in it, and updated. It didn't update the rom, it only updated the security and broke my root status. So now, I have the same old rom (4.4.2 or something like that) and am no longer rooted.

What should I do to upgrade the rom? I am not so concerned about root. One or the other would be fine.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] miamore:
Thank you very much for this information! This is very helpful! All of the above listed symptoms do apply. The reason I thought it was a software issue is that it used to start the constant rebooting and it would always flicker and then reboot at the Verizon screen. Plugging it in or charging it past 25 percent would make the rebooting stop. Over the last few months it's gotten more frequent, happens at any battery percentage, plugging it in stops it, and sometimes it simply shuts off rather than the constant rebooting. The battery connector issue makes so much sense. Thank you! Thank you for the links too!
