[Q] Flashfire? - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do you think there is any hope of using flashfire to flash custom rooms for vzw note pro 12.2?
I used flashfire on my fiancés rooted vzw note 3 last night to flash the jasmine rom they have available, so since the note 3 has a locked bootloader as well I wondered if we could expect the same capabilities if roms were developed? The thread on flashfire says it's been used on a plethora of samsung devices...

I used flashfire to upgrade stock note 4 and notepro 12.2 on stock lollipop and it is working just fine.No problems at all.

Did you roll back to 4.4.4 and root then use Flashfire to come back up to lollipop and keep root for your note 4?
Lollipop for the Verizon Note Pro hasn't released in the US yet, but you were abe to use Flashfire to maintain root and hop up to lollipop on your tablet as well?
Thanks for the reply! Happy to know flashfire is an option!

You don't need to roll back.Just rooted lollipop and kitkat is upgradeble and downgrade also.I tried both and did work as well.Flashfire has auto root option itself and during flash injects supersu.
In both my devices works as it suppose to do.Just like old MobilOdin did.

Who's your carrier for your devices? As far as I know there isn't a permanent root method for Verizon Note 4. The king root has gained temp root for vzw note 4 but it's lost upon reboot and there isn't a way to replace their su with chainfires su.
As for the note pro lte with vzw there isn't an official lollipop update out for Verizon here in the US and no dev roms to go up to lollipop so I'm curious how you e managed to do this for both devices?

All my devices are unbranded.No carrier.I never bought device in my life attached to any carrier contract.It is against my nature.
I suppose that explain why I don't have problems so far.

Ah well that explains it then. Thanks for replying though I think I'm gonna start doing the same thing, I want to buy the new nexus they are releasing this year straight from Google and then have it activated by Verizon so I can have the unlocked bootloader and such.
Thanks for the help!

Were you able to get your GN10.1 rooted? If so, how?
Unfortunately, mine came with the OTA already installed so I think I might be eff'd.

rom for p905?

there is a rom for p905?
No, its not even rooted yet as far as I know.

the sm-p905 is rooted, but issue with custum recovery...
Right. The Verizon variant of the 905 may not be but the standard one is. Development is slow to start on this device but at least with root users can get xposed to help bridge the gap. As much as I wanted an At&t LTE variant I'm glad I didn't wait for it seeing how long the Verizon folks have been waiting for root.

I've stumbled across these root methods. I'm not sure if they're legit:

Using CF Autoroot flips a switch on the system and it will say "warranty_void:1" when booted to download mode
That may be a reason for service center to refuse warranty repairs in the future possibly....
I have a rom already built sitting on my computer ready to be flashed ...and have made a majority of the mods in my note pro stock rom...obviously won't be as fast as my actual rom but here's an average benchmark just to get an idea of the gains...if you are interested the rom is almost identical to my att note 3 firenote rom in the note 3 threads to get an idea of what my roms are like...just waiting for twrp or cwm and we're golden

Your V13 firenote note 3 ROM looks awesome and you have even embedded sound tweaks. I am using Bigbiff"s 2.7.0 TWRP version now with some working functions. Esgie has made some significant breakthroughs in the last few days getting a TWRP version to work. Do you think either of these recoveries are sufficient to flash your new ROM? I have the P905 note pro 12.2 version (the current ROM is TGY but works fine here in the US). My carrier is AT&T with both phone and data rights. Standing by to play when you think the time is right. :fingers-crossed:

Are Samsung Devices Rootable?

Or does an emulator still need to be used? Can Samsung Devices with Marshmallow be rooted?

Of course they can. If using odin then most methods still work even after going from lollipop to marshmallow.

So my Samsung S5 Active could be rooted using Odin? The Marshmallow update just happened last week for this phone? What about the S6 Edge?

Almost all the reputed android phones are rootable...

Note8

Ok so I bought this note 8 from Samsung. Unlocked. I'm currently running android 7.1.1 When I look at rooting it do I still look @ the AT&T version root method or do I look at another method.
Thanks in advance
I don't believe that you can use the carrier version unless your Note came from one of them. You would run the unlocked version.
Current Mods feel free to correct me if I am wrong...........LOL

How to root Canadian G955W, One UI version: 1.0, Android Version: 9, with BELL

I really want to root and I am searching online since 4 days but couldn't find any clear information that i can fallow (or because of my lack of knowledge)
I don't care if i need to downgrade, or give up from "fancy" features. All i want a control on a device that i pay thousand $.
So my s8+ has:
One UI version : 1
Android Version: 9
Baseband Version: G955WVLU5CSC1 with BELL
I am new to rooting but big supporting of Open software, and idea of meaning of actually owning a device.
Please help, or any direction.
Thanks.
I have been dreaming there would have a rooting method since 2017 ( I got the same phone as you but from Telus - I paid off and now switched to Rogers). As far as I know, since our phones' bootloader can't be unlocked, we can kiss goodbye for rooting. I told myself that being a two years old phone, if there would have a method it would have been surfaced. This S8+ would be my last Sam**** phone, I am preparing to sell it on eBay and switch to something like OnePlus ( they are the most easy phone to root).

There is no root for oreo or pie nougat only. You can Google jrkruse bit 5 and come up with a method.

Hey, he said "The method works for SM-G955U and SM-G955U1 models sold in the US." and his method posted before this new One UI version and security update came up... anyway i am asking him same question on email, hopefully he has time to reply.
thanks a lot for your time. :good:

After you get safe strap you can then do some magic a hacks and acheive a rooted nougat system. Again you cannot root oreo or pie with this method. But it does allow you to do 1 of 3 options. Root with nougat and rev 5 combo bootloader , install a oreo system and rev 5 oreo bootloader, or install pie with rev 5 bootloader. As of right now all 3 systems have a rev 5 bootloader
