I wouldn't recommend that. Use the flashing steps that are in the OP. I honestly think it is way easy than heimdall.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Just stick to the flashing method in the original post, that is a certain way of making sure it is going to work, anything other way will most likely result in not being able to get support from the community.

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] other-midas:
you do realize that the OP just says

6. Flash LineageOS

there is no method specified.

anyways, i got it to work, starting from stock (5.0.2 iirc):

- odin + samsung drivers (uninstalled and reinstalled to make sure they are properly set up)

- no messing around with heimdall

- uploaded files to tablet via adb: twrp-3.2.1-0-v1awifi.img v1awifi-recovery.img lineage-14.1-20180210-nightly-v1awifi-signed.zip addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip

- restarted in download mode using adb (adb reboot download)

- flashed via odin BL_P900XXU0BPA1.tar.md5 (<- BL spot) v1awifi-recovery.img (<- AP spot); options in Odin: Phone Bootloader update: on , F.Reset time on, everything else off (including Auto Reboot)

- restart from download mode !! WHEN DONE !! by pressing power+vol up+vol down+home at the same time for a longer period (some guides say power is enough, but whatever the buttons, it definitely needs to be done for a good 20+ sec)

- boot into recovery mode RIGHT AWAY (pwr+vol up+home during bootup) -> should land you in twrp

- i did a wipe and memory format here

- flash the files previously uploaded per adb using twrp (lineage-14.1-20180210-nightly-v1awifi-signed.zip addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip)

in hindsight, i probably did not need "auto reboot: off" and the twrp-3.2.1-0-v1awifi.img; and formatting all memory was risky

i had some trouble with the wifi, but i located it to the channel being used by the router. for whatever reason the wifi network does not show up (it did with stock rom) when using channel 13 (b+n mode), my airwaves are quite polluted with 20+ networks being around, this might have contributed. i took the opportunity and switched the router to n+a mode, much cleaner frequency space now.

follow up: how does one install apks without terminal or play store?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
You can download individual apks (just google the name.apk) and that should do it. Alternatively, you can download aptoide and use that as ur "play store".
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] other-midas:
hmm.. this does not belong here than, it seems i have a corrupted apk file.

Should I wipe all data,for updating Lineage OS?

My LineageOS is version of january 27, I found updated version of LineageOS, so what should I do? I don't want to wipe and re-install my data. is there any way?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Yemble:
Yes, you can safely dirty-flash this ROM. This is my standard method of upgrading and I've been doing it for years, literally! It is wise to wipe the cache at the end of the TWRP flash.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] hanokk:
thank you!

thank you! I will try!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
I installed it. And turned on some of default program settings.

It causes freezing or accident reboots.

And I am not experienced enough to figure out the reason.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
In the OP, it talks about taking a logcat. Do that please and post it here. Also what general settings are you talking about?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Ausraster:
Since the last update I have a really bad performance. The tablet is lagging even when I open the settings app. I tried to change some things in the Deathly Adiutor but it didn't help at all. And when playing sound on the speaker the sound is lagging like hell. I think that's caused by the overall laggy system, but I'm not sure.

Do you guys have any clues what causes this lags?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Is this a clean flash?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Ausraster:
Yep, it is. And I already did another clean flash with but that didn't help... The battery life isn't good too...

I really don't know how to troubleshoot the problem. There are basically no apps installed that could cause this kind of problem.

Just to be sure: There are "only" 4 cores available, aren't there?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Nothing has changed at the device or kernel level. Lineage must have changed something at the system level.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Ausraster:
Hmm, so after the third clean flash the sound problem is gone.

But it still feels laggy. Don't know if I'm expecting too much, but it's not smooth at all...

Anyway thanks for your effort! :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] brickspeed:
Thank you so much for this - I could not get TWRP to come up following the OP steps. I guess I am a noob. Unless you have both files specified in BL and AP no worky. I could then get into TWRP. The only difference I had was this

not this: v1awifi-recovery.img (<- AP spot)

this: v1awifi-recovery.tar (<- AP spot)

not sure the significance. All works now. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] nilse:
Same lag problem

I am having the same problem. Videos, YouTube, Vlc or MX Player, are laggy and sound is really laggy. Overall UI too. Sometimes it goes away and then comes back. Right now I am not having the problem.

Was this resolved with some update?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Ausraster:
That's exactly what's happening to me. Sometimes it's laggy and sometimes it's not... A clean flash solved the issue for like 3 days, but now I'm facing it again.

will the OTA update issue be fixed on the next build? every time the it boots to TWRP, the firmware doesn't be installed automatically
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rhricik447:
Unofficial...

This might be the reason it doesn't update...remember, if you are loading your ROM image from this thread, it is not the official Lineage SM-P900 image - these eventually get rolled into the OFFICIAL Lineage image at a later date (think of these as the last pre-release version.) The update function might work for the OFFICIAL image (I have no way of testing it without wiping my tablet). That's how it has worked in the past with official/unofficial images.

TWRP 3.2.1 Errors Backing Up This ROM

Anyone running this ROM with TWRP 3.2.1 would be advised to roll back to TWRP 3.1.1

TWRP 3.2.1 reports several E:recv error on uevent errors during the backup, which probably results in a corruption. TWRP 3.1.1 does not generate errors.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Cathair2906:
Sorry, didn't mention that i'm using the official, since there are no official thread on this forum, so i reported the OTA issue on this thread.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rhricik447:
Then using this would probably get you results faster, remember to attach all the logs they are asking for..

https://jira.lineageos.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa

Reporting it there will get it into the LineageOS bug reporting system faster than mentioning it here on the unofficial thread.

Install bootloader without Odin

Is there anyway to install the new BL_P900XXU0BPA1.tar.md5 bootloader (or the enclosed sboot.bin) without Odin. The tablet charges but I cannot get any usb connection with Odin, but also within android. I believe there is a hardware issue with the connector : I have done extensive tests with other usb cables, different PC's and heimdall and nothing works.

I have a TWRP 3.2.1-0 and a working cm12.1 android. I thought flashify was an option, but that requires a .img file.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
I tried flashing the image from both TWRP and Heimdall, but it did not work, so flashify is not likely to work either. ODIN appears to do something other than just flash the .img file. The link to the image file may be somewhere in this thread, but I can't find it. It may have been deleted since flashing it did not work.

EDIT:

Actually I tried flashing it with flashify before, in addition to TWRP and Heimdall. Only ODIN worked.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Yemble:
You can get a replacement charge/USB ribbon cable for this tablet from AliExpress. It may take an age to be delivered, but it is cheap (so cheap that I bought two) . Replacing the cable is an easy task and you could replace the battery at the same time, if it needs it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sjo03:
Thank you : just ordered one! Will report back. The battery cable is now soldered on as I had horrible screen flickering otherwise so I will let that one be.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sjo03:
Ordered through amazon and got it today. 5 min replace and odin works :) Thank you! And thank you to the linage developers : it made the note pro feel brand new again.

Can someone that is currently running this rom please post some Antutu Benchmark screen shots? Thanks
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
I would but I dirty flash this tablet more then a corner worker that I am a afraid to see the results LOL

I do a lot of testing, and have been testing 15.X as well, so my tablet is in quite a mess right now, but suffice to say the latest published nightly (Exynos group) is rock stable, fast and far less app crashes, screen locks, wake locks and better memory management over the ones released in January.

I would highly recommend the latest one.

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dmolina007:
Haha, I take your word on it. Im simply looking to compare benchmarks of this rom versus other roms and stock. If you would consider running a benchmark one with your corner worker tablet it would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dmolina007:
Thank you so much. Also I attached the benchmark from the stock version so you can compare.

Your gpu scored highier than my stock did. That was surprising. Good onya.

The one thing that bugs me is when I play this one game when the enemies dies they disappear instantly on contact . However on a different device the enemies have a ragdoll effects as they fall down then later disappear.

If you tested this it would be a huge help you can avoid me flashing just to find out.

Can you install a game called marvel strike force? You can download it from the apkpure application. It hasn't been officially released in some countries so apkpure is the only way to get the free to play game.

You rock

Hi, here with Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 (Build 2017/Sep/26]) , (and some tweaks).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
Need help!

Downloaded last firmware using LineageOS update.

Then pressed power button and tried to reboot into recovery.

And got boot loop with official Samsung logo and Twpr 3.0.2 logo. It is possible to use download mode only.

Used standart SD Maid cleaning before creating new backup.

What to do?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Did you upgrade the bootloader firmware.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
I have upgraded the bootloader only once, when I moved from old native official firmware.

Since I updated to latest LineageOS, for several months I had the same bootloader and twpr.

And I updated LineageOS several times after. And never had issues like that.

And

Yesterday I just wanted to do the same, to flash the most recent LineageOS.

So what should I do?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
When you flashed yesterday did you clear the Dalvik and Cache in the advanced wipe section? And after that did you flash SuperSU at the same time and then clear the cache again?

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
I didn't do anything. I just pressed power button and chose Restart to recovery mode. But got bootloop instead of recovery mode.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
OK Just so I understand it, you cannot get back into TWRP? Have you tried holding the HOME+POWER+VOL-UP buttons to gain access to the recovery again?

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
Doesn't help.

The same.

I only can get download mode.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
OK well you might have to do the HOME+POWER+VOL-DOWN buttons and get into bootloader mode, then use ODIN and reflash TWRP, latest version for this particular tablet, you may have a corrupted TWRP, which I have seen reports on and a reflash can resolve it.

Also how long have you eft the tablet bootlooping for? Sometimes after a new update the tablet can get caught up in a bootloop and have seen my one take up to 15 minutes to recover from it.

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
Thanks a lot.

I am not very experienced user.

Where I can get the latest twpr for SM-P900 to flash using ODIN?

I remember the last version was installed by updating zip.

When I press power button it is about 5 seconds each of Samsung logo, dark screen and twrp logo and loop again.

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

Using ODIN I flashed the TWRP from this first page of this thread. - No success. The same loop.

It goes forever. Till battery dies.

Upd:

The latest TWRP 3.2.1.0 - was flashed.

But same loop. Just updated digits on a screen.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
OK I must be missing something here!

Can you or cannot get into Recovery?

Recovery will be the TWRP boot screen and once in there you can flash new ROM etc... If you can get into recovery have you totally wiped the system of everything, then reflashed, and booted up without root?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Yemble:
Do not use TWRP 3.2.1 with this device... it does not work! Use 3.1.1 instead which does :good:

BTW, I test every new version of TWRP on my P900, backup and restore, which is why I know!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
I cannot get into Recivery mode.

Recovery logo appears just for a few seconds.

Then black screen again and official Samsung logo.

Endless loop.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Hi [MENTION=8594321]opus7[/MENTION]

Please reflash wiht 3.1.1 using Odin, that is a known stable version.

If you are still having problems with that version then there is something wrong with your boot partition and you may need to follow the bootloader recovery process.

Cheers,

David.

What's wrong with TWRP 3.2.1?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] epithetic:
TWRP 3.2.1 worked fine for me, first time installing Lineage (Exynos5420 unofficial build) on a fresh device.

Thanks for the great work on these devices - long time user on the Note 10.1 2014 as well! :good:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
Thanks for your assistance!

I flashed TWRP 3.1.1-0 and still have the bootloop with several logos.

When I upgraged official ROM, first what I did was flashing bootloader using ODIN.

I still have that file: BL_P900XXU0BPA1.tar

In order to recover the bootloader of my tablet shall I just do the same again?

Or are there any other instructions?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] epithetic:
Perhaps a silly question, but are you letting go of the power button when you see it starting to boot into TWRP?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
Sure.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Well when I corrupted the bootloader (Which has happened a few times as I use this tablet mostly for testing now) I just went back to stock (Latest version of the stock rom) and that resolved the bootloader issue.

Make sure you complete at least one full boot before you re-flash it with the latest stable TWRP version for this tablet, do not use any other, it must be for this tablet.

That should resolve the problem and then install the latest Exynos group version, the official lineage one is good, but I prefer the Exynos team version myself.

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] epithetic:
And it gives you the TWRP boot screen and then just resets? After the reset, does it try to boot into TWRP again, or does it go on to try and continue to boot into the system?

I don't think the bootloader is the problem here. If all else fails, I'd recommend redownloading everything and starting over from a stock firmware image:

1. Download a full set of stock firmware images (should have AP, BL and CSC files) and select/tick/flash all 3 via Odin. This will wipe all of your data, so be aware. See if the device boots normally now. Copy the necessary Lineage files (Lineage build, su-addon, arm 7.1 gapps micro package) to your tablet.

2. If successful, enable developer options -> enable USB debugging. Verify adb recognises the device and reboot into download mode

3. Via Odin, flash the freshly downloaded BL_P900XXU0BPA1.tar.md5 in BL and TWRP from here in AP - IMMEDIATELY press power + vol up + home when the flash completes and screen goes dark for reboot. Don't let it boot into your stock system.

4. Let go of power, then the rest of the buttons when it starts to boot into TWRP. Hopefully you should be in TWRP successfully now

5. Allow TWRP to modify your sytem and perform a factory reset via TWRP. Hit back -> Install -> Select the Lineage zip -> Add additional zip files -> su-addon -> Add additional zip files -> gapps. Flash the three files and reboot.

6. After a somewhat lengthy bootup you should see the Lineage setup wizard.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Yemble:
Bad advice about the SU add-on, IMHO. SU development is ceased, you would be FAR better off installing Magisk 16 for a whole variety of reasons.

The issue with TWRP 3.1.2 is that it generates some errors (in red text) during backup, which then compromise its ability to restore a working system. This was my experience with it on the P900. However, I am happy using TWRP 3.2.1 on my Moto phones, where it functions correctly.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] epithetic:
I merely recommend the su-addon because it is the official Lineage solution/properly integrated into the ROM (not sure what you mean about development being ceased). Yes, there are advantages to using Magisk, but it is also more fiddly. Might not be the best idea if the OP is not well versed.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Yemble:
Magisk installation used to be fiddly, many versions ago, but not anymore. I would argue that it is easier to install and update than SuperSU / SU Hide ever were. The salient point, of course, is SafetyNet. Magisk passes SafetyNet, whereas the SU add-on does not.

Chainfire has publicly announced that he will no longer be developing SuperSU.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] epithetic:
Lineage su-addon =/= SuperSU

It just enables the in-built root in the developer options, and you never have to worry about it ever again.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Yemble:
In my experience, when changing ROM "vendors", you ALWAYS need to wipe System and Data partitions. If you are upgrading a ROM from the same "vendor" you can usually get away without wiping the Data partition, as is the case with this ROM. So, coming from RR to this ROM, you will need to wipe System, Data (and the caches). Make sure you know your Google password ;)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] opus7:
Thanks a lot to everyone who helped to recover my tablet. :angel::angel:

Only installing official ROM and following this instruction brought life again to it.

Still can not imagine what's happened, never have caught bootloop like that. I didn't do something special, just tried to go to recovery mode to upgrade.

ROM 07/04/2018 Virus!

I suggest that you DO NOT install the 7th April ROM as it contains a virus!

The LOS developers may find it amusing to deliberately introduce virus code as a practical April Fools "joke", six days after the event, but I do not!

So f****** childish and irresponsible !!!

Luckily, reflashing the 31st March ROM removes the virus.

If you mean the "Genuine Validation error" (or something to that effect) notification that keeps popping up, here is an excerpt of Changelog 17 from the LineageOS blog on their website:

===============================

Major changes since February 25th

Lockdown added to power menu actions: lock the device and force the password input, disabling any biometric or smart unlock tools

New focus indicator for Snap camera​

Contacts improvements:

Support for storing contacts locally

Added 2 new entries to the drawer menu: “my info” and “emergency info” linking to your account’s contact and health information available when the device is locked

SIM phone number is now automatically added to your account’s contact​

Added Cyan accent

Dialer is now GDPR-compliant: phone number lookup is now disabled by default and there’s now a disclaimer in the relative settings page

Files app now has a dark UI through the Styles API

Jelly now has a dark UI through the Styles API

March security patches have been merged (both 15.1 and 14.1)

Chromium webview updated to version 65 (both 15.1 and 14.1)

LineaGenuine (both 15.1 and 14.1)

Our new tool allows you to feel more comfortable knowing whether you’re running a certified build. In case the device is caught running an uncertified OS, this tool will warn the user and some measures will be taken in order to guarantee you the device’s resources aren’t being misused.

If you want to disable the persistent notification, run this command from a root shell (such as adb root / recovery or terminal app) setprop persist.lineage.nofool true and reboot the device
​

========================================

The above does remove the notification.
