[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cn0r:
Hey everyone, this is my first post I'm really excited to be here and I love tinkering with electronics, especially android OS.

I'm very stuck on rooting this thing, amazing tablet otherwise. All the crossfire downloads I see are for the other variants of the device (wifi, 3g, 4g, but not the AT&T LTE version that I have). Kingroot, towelroot, oneclickroot etc. are all not working as well. What else can I do? I feel like I'm missing something. Titanium backup is invaluable for me so I'd appreciate any help! The only other post I've seen was from 2014 and mentioned towelroot, which didnt work for me.

Thank you so much

I've sent you a PM with a new code for the posts, looking much more cleaner and easier to read in my opinion.

I've also added some more information, corrected the typos and replaced some words with ones better. My English isn't perfect neither, but I think is better than your :D

I hope you replace your code with my code. I've spent like 4-6 hours to do it LOL. I've done it on my phone.

Also, I think we should add this thread in our signature.

Have a nice day!

Nandroid backup

Basically, this so-called Nandroid backup can save you a lot of trouble in case you soft-brick your device. In just a few clicks, your whole system is restored and your device is fully functioning again, as if nothing ever happened. In this short guide, I’ll give you the simple steps so that you can make a backup yourself to be on the safe side. I’ll also show you how you can transfer your backup to your computer so that you don’t need to keep it on your device to save space.

How to do a Nandroid backup

1. Prerequisites

In order to be able to make a Nandroid backup, your Android device has to be rooted and needs to have a custom recovery tool.

2. Go into recovery

To get into your recovery, you first need to boot your device into the bootloader. This can be done by turning it on holding down the Power + Home + Volume UP buttons.

3. Do the nandroid backup

Once you’re inside the recovery it’s a piece of cake.

TWRP:

Go to “Backup”

Choose the partitions you want to back up. If you’re not sure what to choose, simply leave the default selections.

Make the backup by swiping to the right at the bottom.

Your device should now perform the backup process, once that’s done you can reboot your device.

4. Transfer the Nandroid Backup to a computer

Now, depending on how many apps and files you installed, your backup might take away quite some space. To avoid that, you can transfer the whole Nandroid backup to your computer and delete it on your device. Should you ever need to restore your device, you only need to transfer it back.

TWRP:

Connect your device to your computer and go to the TWRP folder on your device. In there, a folder containing your backup can be found. If you have several on your device, they will be separated so that you can choose only the folder you need. After you successfully copied the folder, you can delete the one on your device.

5. Restore your device using your Nandroid backup

That’s an easy one as well. Simply boot into recovery, select “Restore”.

Now you can choose the backup you want to use and restore your device. Once that’s finished, reboot your device and you’re done!

big thumps up

As a newbie, I couldn't figure out why the custom recovery was not could not be flashed properly. Until I found this thread which told me the steps that I was missing:

Is it an idea to add those steps to the 'how to'? Or are these steps so obvious that only a newbie does not think about these steps?

For the rest, big thumps up for this Q&A and the 'how to's' !! :good::laugh: They are very useful for someone who is just starting to play around with this stuff. Now I'll try to go for a custom ROM and see if that might improve the performance.

You did a full wipe from

Wipe/Advanced wipe

"Dalvick/art cache,

Data,

System,

Android secure"

before flashing the rom?

Or a wipe dalvik cache before reboot the phone after the flashing was finished?

if you dont get wifi working

flash the linaro kernel http://xdaforums.com/android/development/kernel-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3330323 by [MENTION=5882401]Nick Verse[/MENTION]

and should work

you must flash both with TWRPrecovery 3.0.0.0 or 3.0.2.0

PS. if you have the phone locked by the network provider

then you should try a full stock rom for J500g from other country or region to unlock the network

you can find that rom's on sammobile site

in that way you will reflash all partitions of the phone and maybe it will be unlocked

with a custom rom you will reflash only system partition wich doesnt have that lock code

Any help???????
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ganesh varma:
I won't recommend kingroot at all, it may work but with latest security patches coming up the kingroot's files won't work. So the best way to root devices is to flash a custom recovery and flash CF-Auto-Root through it. Rooting through recovery has 99.9% success as it has all the access to systems partition and can easily write root files to it. Where as kingroot is just an app without any higher privilege permission to access partitions. :good:
