I tried this, everything worked flawlessly with Oden and then when I try rebooting into recovery I get "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". It boots standard recovery not twrp. Any ideas? Anyone else get this to work successfully?
@michaellumb:disqus Is your phone rooted now? and are you able to boot into the system of your phone? If no then recover it by flashing a stock firmware using Odin, I'm looking for this issue, I'll update soon.
Thank you for checking. Yes it is. I found elsewhere that when you flash twrp via odin you need to uncheck auto-reboot. Then go directly from the odin flash and force a reboot into recovery (Power, Vol up, Home). Doing this worked perfect.
I've followed all the steps as well... I'm trying to root Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Wifi Tablet after the damn over the air update to 5.0.2 lollipop... Odin3 v3.10 sees the tablet, installs TWRP with PASS!, then when I go to restart into TWRP, however instead I get this Android dropping dead with an exclamation point sticking out of his chest, then it enters into Android System Recovery LRX22G.P900UE1C0F4 with various options, but no TWRP... Any suggestions?
@disqus_2VBhO0QtTA:disqus Flash the recovery once again, but this time untick the auto-reboot option in Odin. Once recovery is flashed, disconnect your device and go into recovery mode straight away by pressing and holding Volume Up + Power keys. TWRP will stick and work this way. Good Luck.
how do you know which version of odin to use
@disqus_F97waLRd76:disqus use the version of Odin which we have linked above. Using latest version is always recommended.
Will this work with 5.0.2 lollipop version
@disqus_NNzzI6Cu1O:disqus yes it will work. Best of luck :)

Is the twrp-2.8.7.0-v1a3gxx.img.tar.md5 file really 1KB?!
(I tried to download it several times)
@pop_poo:disqus no it's not a 1KB file, that's why you're getting this error.
Hi, there

tnx
@pop_poo:disqus you need to download the file properly. The files linked above are of 11, 8.6 and 9 MB. Please download it properly.
Yes, you're right
I removed .md5 from end of the download link, and it worked well
But something wrong in recovery mode
How i install supersu? i can't find "install" as U said in recovery mode!
tnx
@pop_poo:disqus you've to download the supersu file and copy it to your phone in order to make it appear in recovery
Where does the supersu.zip need to be copied to? It's currently in my Downloads folder on my tablet and there is no Install option just as you see in the other user's screenshot above. I believe there is a step missing on how to install Supersu.
I had the same problem. When done correctly, you can choose the file from internal or sd card. Uncheck "Auto Reboot" on Odin. After you hit start, wait till you get PASS. Mine took about 2 minutes. Disconnect from PC. Force restart into recovery mode by holding volume up, power, and home until the screen goes blank and you see the Samsung logo. Follow directions from there. Thank you.
Brilliant. Thank you. Yours is the only advice that worked for me.
As U see, there's not "install" ! So how i have to install the BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip file from device storage?
Hi, Usama M
Do U know what was my fault?
My tablat had been rooted since 4.4.2
and upgrading to 5.0.2, didn't reset it. So your way to root didn't work at all
So I first reset it today(factory reset), then flash it with original 5.0.2 rom, and then root it with twrp, and finally it worked!
tnx
@pop_poo:disqus
if you upgraded to stock 5.0.2, it must have wiped the root access. At first it's not possible that it didn't reset root. It won't reset root only if you flashed a pre-rooted 5.0.2.
If your phone was already rooted, then trying to root over a root won't work.
The only way to root the phone is to have an un-rooted device and then root it.
Factory reset can't wipe the root access either.
Can you please tel
l me if you followed the instructions listed above to root in the end?
I was thinking like U , but definitely the old root had made some troubles
(Though the old root access had been removed but still made some unknown trouble)
As i said, after the new fresh flash, i could root it at the end.
