I CAN'T BE 100 PERCENT BUT I BELIEVE I'VE FOUND THE PROBLEM TO WHY WE CANNOT ACHIEVE ROOT!!!!! So here it goes, I also own a Samsung galaxy tab pro 12.2 which was running kitkat 4.4.2. About a month ago they pushed out an update for the tab pro 12.2 which updated it to 5.1.1 just like the LP version that's running on the g530t. I was trying everything to root it and had no luck! But about ten minutes ago I came across a thread where this guy was saying that it can't be rooted because the stock kernel is enforcing, where as i needs to read permissive. So he manually alerted it, and poof like magic it freaking worked. I went and checked the SE for android status in about device on this phone for the g530t and it says enforcing. So I belive we need to flash twrp on this device and to something very similar to what I said! I will post a link to it so anyone who's got these kinda skills can help and from what I saw in that thread it was just 2 lines of code that he added, it don't look very difficult;)

TWRP without ROOT

"BACK UP WITH TWRP BEFORE YOU FLASH !!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD !"

So excuse this question as I am a newbie to rooting devices. You say "Backup with TWRP before you flash...." . I downloaded and installed TWRP on my device but when I try to run the app it says "Root is required for this app". How can I backup using TWRP before rooting 5.1.1 if it won't run until it has been rooted? Again, apologies if this is a stupid question.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] stealthee:
You Flash TWRP from Odin. and turn off auto reboot. Once it is done press and hold Volume up and Power DO NOT HOLD HOME! Wait for the tablet to turn off and then back on once you see the message about the not enforcing on the top left let go of power and keep holding volume up. the screen should go blank and then load into TWRP. IF you see stock recovery you messed up on the buttons and now got to get back into download mode again and reflash TWRP till it sticks. After it goes to TWRP once its there for good. Unless you change it or something. THEN back up. You are not going to be able to install TWRP from the play store app.

Step by step guide?

Thanks for all the hard work.

It's been a while since I rooted my tab pro which is on KitKat.

I want to get to rooted lollipop stock from from rooted KitKat but am a little fuzzy on the process in the first post and had a few questions.

1) Do I need to unroot before anything else?

2) do I download the files hosted on github as a single zip and flash that using odin 3.10?

3) what do I do with the 10mb file linked at the end of the first post?

4) I have edited the playlpm file to enable the tablet to boot up when plugged into a power source. Would that be affected by this process?

Is there any chance you could edit the first post to show the step by step process.

Appreciate any help you could offer.

Tried Rooting Cellular South T900 5.1.1 firmware

I know this might have been stupid but I tried rooting the new Cellular South T900 5.1.1 firmware found at the following link:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T900/

Luckily I took the advice of backing up my tablet with TWRP beforehand so the end results were not disastrous. After installing the new Cellular South Firmware, which worked beautifully, I reinstalled TWRP and backed up my tablet :D I then loaded the root package found in this thread and it seemed to apply without issues. When I select to reboot I was asked if I wanted to install the SU binary (same as when I installed it on the UK version) which I did. It started installing the binary and then almost immediately rebooted the tablet. The tablet then entered a boot loop. Luckily I was able to get the tablet back in TWRP and restored the backup. This fixed the boot loop problem so I went into the tablet and uninstalled the Super SU, and the other root apps I had installed and tried again to install the root package. The results were the same and the tablet went into another boot loop. I again gained access to TWRP and restored the backup which fixed the problem again. At this point to make sure I didn't have any residual effects from this I put the tablet back in download mode and reinstalled the new Cellular South 5.1.1 firmware. The tablet is now functioning flawlessly.

Should this root package have worked with it, I'm guessing not since it was built for the UK kernel. If it should what did I do wrong, and if not are there any plans to root the new CS version of the firmware.

Thanks for the root package, I have learned a lot going through this since the successful rooting of the UK version was my first root attempt. And then learned even more when attempting to root the CS/USA version.

don't install the twrp su when it asks you at reboot and try once more. If that fails a new kernel will probably have to be made for that firmware
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] andrewnelson23:
Awesome thanks for the flashables man!

Don't click yes to install su. In twrp. You've already installed it. That can mess with things further. Not sure of that was the only problem or if the kernel is just not compatible. Try it without clicking to install su in twrp.

My step-by step guide for noobs (like me!)

I've pieced this dummies guide together from the information in this thread so that any other noobs (like myself) have a fairly basic guide to this process.

My start point

Stock rom 4.4.2 with root.

Preparation

Download latest Odin (I used v3.10)

Download latest T900XXUBOH4_T900OXABOH4_HOME.tar

Download Remember_Wifi_Fix and transfer to tablet internal storage or microsd card

Download Stealthee-Kernel.zip and transfer to tablet internal storage or microsd card

Install samsung USB drivers

Stage 1 - Updating to 5.1.1 using Odin

Turn off tablet.

Press home, volume down and power to boot into download mode (select volume up to confirm).

Plug in tablet.

Open Odin (check tablet has been detected)

Press AP button and select T900XXUBOH4_T900OXABOH4_HOME.tar

Press start.

Let it reboot. It will pause on samsung logo. Wait a few minutes and then it will continue to update.

Once updated, you are now on stock 5.1.1 and have lost root.

Stage 2 - Flashing TWRP using Odin

Turn off tablet

Press home, volume down and power to boot into download mode (select volume up to confirm).

Plug in tablet.

Open Odin (check tablet has been detected)

Press AP button and select twrp-2.8.7.0-v2wifixx.img.tar

Uncheck auto reboot in options.

Press start.

When flashing complete, unplug tablet.

Press volume up and power to restart and release power button when samsung logo appears with unenforcing message in top left corner.

Tablet will boot into TWRP.

Stage 3 - Install Stealthee-Kernel using TWRP

Choose install

Select Stealthee-Kernel.zip and accept.

Wipe cache / dalvik

Select reboot

Select DO NOT install Superuser

Tablet will reboot and take several minutes to upgrade.

Tablet is now updated to stock 5.1.1 and rooted.

Stage 4 - Remember wifi passwords fix

Turn off tablet

To boot to TWRP recovery, press volume up and power and release power button when samsung logo appears with unenforcing message in top left corner.

Select install

Select Remember_Wifi_Fix.zip

Reboot.

All done!

:D

I certainly needed the refresher and I hope this walk-through helps any total noobs out there that might be struggling.

The kernel already has su in it.

Tip tho: if you wanted to, the whole reason behind this kernel and my trap kernels is to root you all in one shot, but if you wanted to just unpack this boot.img or fork the source/cherry - pick the commits and just swap the zimage/kernel into a stock boot.img you could and it'd still allow root and just include su binaries and supersu in your rom version. Otherwise it's not needed in the rom since it's already in the ramdisk of the boot.img/kernel of this kernel.

I am now on deodexed 5.1.1 stock but want to go back to 5.1.1 stock rooted stealthee kernel. Can I just use these steps to do it?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] jazzespresso:
There's couple of ways to do that - here's how I usually do;

1. First, find attached file, unzip it and go to META-INF\com\google\android, and open updater.script.

take a look at that and see what's being removed, now go back to your ROM, go to system, and see if any of matches updater.script, remove them manually.

or you can also flash DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V3.0_LOLLIPOP.zip thru TWRP.

2. DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V3.0_LOLLIPOP.zip is usually for Samsung phone stuff, remember tablet's KNOX stuff could be a bit diffrent, however the script usually removes knox craps.

Now, once you done with knowx removal script, next thing you can do go to system folder (on your PC where your ROM is), and on Windows 7, search *knox" stuff, see how many hit you will get, if you still some knox stuff

that above script did not remove, go head delete them (if it is folder, delete them), just be very careful, do NOT delete *knox*.jar file, in fact, don't remove anything under framework folder.

Reference: See@ Kaito95 thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507931

in adition to above, Samsung Lollipop rooted ROMs, you will get pop up window says warning, it is security log agent, which is located under system\app\securitylogagent, you may delete that folder.

I remember it took me several tries when I was working on my other ROM (JazzROM for Tab 4 5.1.1) - see - http://xdaforums.com/tab-4/development/rom-jazzrom-galaxy-tab-4-8-0-5-1-1-t3196712
