You might be right but i can find the proper bootloader unlocker if i haven't done it correctly.

You might be right. I tried searching different ways to unlock the bootloader but i didn't find anything different that could help me unfortunately. :(

Hello,

does this ROM have SPen support? Does it have several apps for writing?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Well s pen is working but with limited options regarding the stock rom.

Means, yes you can write e. g. in wps office docs or else but the switch on the s pen has no use.

Apps you'll have to install yourself.

Great rom anyhow.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] RedMist:
You can't use, or install Samsung's Spen apps, like S-note or Samsung Notes, but the Spen works great in other apps. Including the button, for the apps I have tried installing.

It works great and the battery is much better than Stock.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] tatuk:
Thanks, bro! Which apps do you use with SPen?..

Hi guys. I know you hate this but I have to ask. I have lost my laptop yesterday. My father gave me P900 as he was not using it for 3 years already. I am on stock 5.0.2 now. I have never flashed a ROM on Samsung this old. Can some good soul write me a step by step manual with links how to upgrage to this ROM? If I mess this up, I am lost and have no computer as I need to for my work. I understand that this is the latest Android for P900. Thanks a lot!

Have you tried the instructions in the original post on page 1 of this thread? Use the Exynos5420 Device Builds link. There are no longer any official builds for this device. You must have a lollipop bootloader. See this thread for updating the bootloader. https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-android-6-0-1-t3366834

Hi,

I've installed LineageOS 14.1 (14.1-20170527-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi) on mySM-P900 a few years ago. I haven't used it much recently and want to sell or gift it - but would like to update it first. The built in updater doesn't work. Factory reset to remove my data doesn't work.

Any tips on how to update this and clear my personal data so I can give this to another person? Or if I should put it back to stock firmware, a guide for that would be appreciated too.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
You can just do a factory reset in TWRP and wipe the system partition. I would then install the latest Vanilla build from the downloads site. The updater show be fixed.

Hi,

I tried to flash this ROM, but it doesn't boot. I flashed the recommended bootloader and recovery with Odin, but I'm not able to boot. Somehow, neither booted Lineage 13 (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-android-6-0-1-t3366834) nor Resurrection (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-2-t3563635). The only ROM I managed to get working is CM 12 (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-5-0-1-t2971945/). What am I doing wrong?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] HuDeeb:
You need to fully format your data, system, and cache partitions from the latest TWRP recovery. I think the easiest flashing of the new ROM can be done by sideloading the ROM+Gapps ZIPPs (in that order) from TWRP.

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

Hi

I am moving back from the official LineageOS ROM and wondered about backup and restore possibilities.

I own titanium backup pro and have the TWRP 3.3.1 recovery installed.

How and what should I backup, to be best restored, and with what app? All that after complete formatting of all partitions. Data and internal partitions have stuff and apps I'd like to keep and restore, while I like the idea of fresh, clean and stable ROM, if I can avoid reinstalling my apps and their data (?)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] asdasd89:

Hi,

Many thanks for this rom !

Is anyone having trouble to see the shortcuts bar (the one with the apps drawer icon) when applications are running in foreground ?

It seems i'm always full screen and I cannot manage to set it off.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
"Phone INFO" app shows the actual BL.

Mine is P900XXSOBPL2 and everything is running fine.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] asdasd89:
According to Phone INFO, my bootloader version is P900XXUANI1. I tried again and again to flash the BL_P900XXU0BPA1.tar.md5 file, but, despite Odin showing the PASS! message, Phone INFO keeps showing the same bootloader version. I don't know what to do.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
[MENTION=3341559]asdasd89[/MENTION] somewhere I read that multiple flashing without rebooting helped in such a case.

Btw. ever thought of flashing the whole stock ROM in four parts which contains the wanted BL.

At least, that's what I would try when nothing else worked.

Might help but I'm not shure it does.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] asdasd89:
I'm pretty sure. In fact, I checked the label on the back of the tablet also I flashed cyanogen 12 for that model days ago.

BTW, I think I've screwed it big time. I flashed the factory image using Odin and now I can only run the stock recovery. I'm not even able to enter in download mode. Have I bricked the deviced? Please, help!!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] joluke:
To enter download mode and recovery mode turn off the device and press: volume down + home + power and volume up + home + power
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] asdasd89:
If I do volume down + home + power until I see the Samsung logo (and then I release the power button, so the tablet don't reboot again), I see a little android with an error symbol for less than half a second and then I get to the stock recovery. In fact, I get to the same screen by just pressing volume down + power.

View attachment 4860349

If I press volume up + power + home (and release power when the Samsung logo is shown), I get to a warning screen about using custom OS. I have to press volume up to continue. But if I do that, the tablets reboot and get stuck again in a black screen. I guess that it tries to use the bootloader and then it crashes. I think I get to the same warning screen by just pressing volume up + power.

This doesn't look good.

EDIT: I forgot to say that I can't access the device neither via adb nor fastboot.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
No. You must be missing some steps. Where did you get the stock image from?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] asdasd89:
I downloaded the file Samsung_SM-P900_(P900XXS0BPL2_P900OXE0BOI1_Russia_v5.0.2)_by_(FirmwareOS.com) from a sammobile kind of site. What I look for is that ...BPL2 version that seems to work for sure.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] joluke:
Hope you make it work. Keep it up [emoji846]
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] asdasd89:
It turns out that the tablet had not enough battery left to enter in Download mode. And since the ROM and bootloader were wrong, the battery icon didn't show the battery icon, and if I plugged the tablet it tried to boot and ended up with the same black screen all the time. For this reason, after each round of attempts I powered off the device and left it unplugged.

Moreover, (this is the embarrassing part) I was pressing the wrong Vol buttons. In my head Vol+ was the one closest to the power button. So bassicaly when the warning screen asked for confirmation to Continue (to the download mode) I selected Cancel over and over again. And by doing this, the battery was getting drained more and more.

After charging the tablet for half an hour and pressing the right buttons, I managed to enter Download mode. Then I just flashed the latest stock ROM and after that I was able to install a custom ROM.

I'm so relieved... I thought I had bricked my wife's tablet.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Mr Creosote:
I expect this hasn't been happening to everyone, or else you would've been posting about it in here, but my tablet was borked after updating to the latest 02/11 build.

I flashed the ZIP from TWRP, rebooted, and it booted straight in to download mode. tried rebooting a couple of times, tried going into TWRP, clearing cache and dalvik, same thing. it either booted straight into download, after flashing the samsung logo on the screen for about half a second, or it would boot into TWRP if i used the key combo.

the main thing i can think of that might have been different for me is that i had accepted the latest magisk and magisk manager updates earlier in the morning. i'm on stable builds of magisk.

i tried flashing back to the previous build from TWRP, it flashed fine with no errors, magisk script ran with no errors, but it was still the same, booted straight into download, even after selecting shutdown from TWRP reboot menu.

i also tried running the magisk removal script, and that returned an error while running it. i formatted everything from TWRP and did a clean install, and all seems ok now.

obviously if the issue has been caused by the latest magisk update, then this wouldn't be a problem with your build, i'm just interested to know if this has happened to anyone else, or if there's any ideas why it happened.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
I also had problems booting straight to download mode after attempting to update to the 02/11 build. I didn't post because I attributed it to a failure updating TWRP to the latest build just prior to flashing the 02/11 update. I had to restore LineageOS from a TWRP backup, and flash the TWRP update using heimdall (could not flash the TWRP update using TWRP). I think I also updated magisk just before trying to update TWRP, but am not positive (that was a few days ago). I had to reinstall Magisk after the restore.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] hajkan:
Hi

I have been using these custom roms for couple years without any issues. Last time I did a flashing was like last Jabuary so I wanted to get the latest nightly. I downloaded it and flashed it now the tablet does boot to download mode constantly I cant get it pass that. i can boot t o twrp but that is prety much it. I tried installing the lastes twrp.img but it says it is not a folder. So not sure what I can do at this point.

Any recommendations?

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Which twrp update did you use to install with heimdal?

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

You are not alone it seems.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
I installed the latest TWRP version (3.3.1) using heimdall. I haven't tried to flash any images since, so don't know if that will make a difference. Your choices are pretty much in the previous two posts - do a clean install or restore from a previous TWRP backup. If you have a TWRP backup of the boot partition, you could try restoring only the boot partition.

Do you have Magisk installed, and did you update Magisk just prior to flashing the update? That seems to be a common factor in the two posts above.

The "not a folder" error is the same error I got trying to update TWRP using TWRP. I also got the same error trying to flash the Magisk uninstall zip with TWRP. Apparently something corrupted TWRP.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] hajkan:
Thanks for the reply.

Did you actually upgrade to the nightly? It sounded like you just restored from your old backups?

I did not mess with Magisk after or prior. It seems to me that these updates somehow wipe the boot partition, and restoring the boot only afterwards did not help with the case.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
No, I didn't upgrade to the nightly - I stayed with the restore from my old backup. I didn't feel like doing a clean install now, since we may soon have a Pie build to install.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] hajkan:
I see. So do you think that the only way to update to nightly is to wipe the device and do a clean install? I am not sure if that would even work given that it seems to wipe the boot partition?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
See post 1164 above. A clean install worked for him. I do not normally do a clean install for a nightly, but the restore I did was for an old official build of Lineage OS. The 2/11 build was unofficial, so I would do a clean install to move from an official build to an unofficial build. I'd also do a clean install for the upcoming Pie build, so I thought I would just wait for it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] HuDeeb:
what can you restore after clean install?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
You can restore only what you have backed up. I use both Google backup and Titanium Backup. You can run into problems restoring apps from Titanium Backup across different Android versions, so in that case, I let Google restore the apps from the Play Store, then restore the app settings using Titanium Backup. Unfortunately Google backup does not include application settings, just the apps. Google backup also does not include sideloaded apps, only those apps from the Play Store. Sideloaded apps would have to be reinstalled or restored from Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Good news. I got O to boot without binder issues. The only issue is there a lot of random issues such as no audio or wifi. I want to hopefully have an alpha build out here soon.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] joluke:
Great news! Keep up the good work

I thought you were working on Pie build not Oreo?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] HuDeeb:
What about TWRP's nandroid backup, can you restore DATA partition after clean install or shouldn't I do that?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
It wouldn't be a clean install if you did that. Wiping and rebuilding the DATA partition is what makes it a clean install.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] @TomX:
Hello guys.

A friend of mine gave me his Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 to fix because of some issues with the tab.

First he could not charge the tab... so I dug up an old asus charger from a previous Asus Transformer Pad I had and bingo, the tab is charging again.

My victory was short lived... I was able to save his data on a computer however the tab had important flickering issues and after a time would hard reboot and get stuck in boot loops.

I was able after I don't know how many attempts to put lineageOS 14.1 on it, a nightly build from January 2019. With the boot issues, I dropped the matter and let it to rest for 10 months...

I started the tab again this evening, lineageOS completed its boot sequence and installed correctly... I'm like "Is this for real!?" ... but again victory was short lived... as after 10 min of tinkering with the tab, flickering started again...

Now, as soon as boot cycle is complete, if I do anything, the flickering increases up to a point where the tab reboots.

Any ideas to what might provoke this? Hardware problem : screen issue? CPU issue ? Flash memory ? overheating?

Is there any way to find the culprit?

Is there a very basic minimalist rom out there to try and see if the problem is overheating or too much CPU use?

Thank you.

EDIT : now the tab fails to complete a full boot and reboots itself a soon as the first lock screen appears...

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Sterist:
by default TWRP doesn't mount System. you must tap Mount and check System, then you can manage files in there. otherwise it'll just be blank and/or have empty folders

the supersu folder is re-created every time TWRP boots and (I think?) deleted when exiting TWRP so deleting that did nothing. my impression of that folder is that TWRP stores a compressed supersu set for storage reasons, and temporarily holds a decompressed version for installation (it asks first) if the installed rom is not rooted. odds are you've probably seen this prompt sometime in the past
