Never been able to root using Odin 3.07, always works with 3.09 for me on Win7 or Win8.1

I suspect once chainfire returns from his month long vacation a fix will be posted. Until then I am going to stop worrying about it as with the update my Note is smoother than the prior version was even after debloating.

I have the SM-P900 wifi....had the same cache.img freezing. First time was with Odin 3.07. I powered down and tried 3.09. Reinstalled usb drivers with Kies 3 and rebooted my Windows 8.1. Tried again....still freeze. I grabbed the P900XXUANB3-RecoveryImg from this thread, flashed it, then immediately flashed CF auto root and it PASSED immediately. Rebooted the tablet and root was there.
Thanks everyone for all the input.

Just wondering if anything has changed for the Verizon variant yet? Is root still not possible?

Will this work for a Tab pro 12.2 wifi?

I don't belive this works for SM-T900... Hopefully in due time!

SM-P902

Hi I have SM-P902 I think its the same with P901 3G version.But I want to be sure if I can use P901 version of CF auto root on P902.

For those having issues with Odin hanging up on "cache.img", it's because you don't have the *.md5 extension enabled in your archive management tool (7Zip, WinRar, etc). You can either rename the "CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5" to "CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar" (removing the .md5 extension), or you can add the .md5 extension to your archive management tool.

smp901 works

Work on my Thai P901XXUANAC,
strangely, whichever the odin version I was using, md5 extension gave a fail when stucking on cache.img ... simply repack to a plain tar works like a charm. At first it's scary as thinking the big gadget bricked

You cant permanently brick these things. Not easily any way.

I've pulled the usb cable in the middle of flashing lots if times. Pulled the sd card during Rom flashing... Etc.

As long as you can get to download mode you can fix it. And as far as I know, short of a frying the tablet with too much voltage .. or something physical, download mode will always be unharmed when flashing goes wrong.

Do.. dont be "scared" lol. You'll be fine

For those of you hanging on cache.img, go into Kies 3 and reinstall the USB drivers, under the Tools menu. Reboot then try again.

Ok...I also have the SM-P900 and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have read the entire thread and have tried all of the suggestions posted so far except for using the original file with odin 1.85... I can't find that one so any other suggestion would GREATLY be appreciated!

I have the same build number as you....I have not been able to get this to work yet in spite of trying EVERYTHING suggested in this thread.

***** UPDATE *****
I finally was able to root then appled the stock recovery back to the tablet and everything works perfectly. In my case I had to uninstall Kies, after the reboot the process worked flawlessly. Thank you to CF for Root and all of the thread participation that helped me work through the process.

Had the cache.img freeze issue on my second Note Pro and solved it by first flashing the stock recovery that was in post #234 and then flashing CF Autoroot.

To do this I fired up the tablet into download mode prior to plugging it into the PC. I then loaded up the recovery image in Odin and made sure that autoreboot was unchecked. With the tablet still in download mode I plugged the tablet in and verified that Odin saw it and then flashed the recovery file. Once Odin was finished and showed RESET in the upper left corner I went to the tablet, held down HOME and VOL DOWN and reset the tablet again into download mode (making sure the tablet didn't boot to the OS or recovery). I closed Odin, fired it back up and loaded CF Autoroot. This time flashing it to the tablet stuck with no issues and I was able to install SuperSU and Busybox once I was booted up on the tablet.

I figure if CF Autoroot was created using that recovery image then I may as well be flashing CF with that version of recovery installed on the tablet.

Then again, it could have been just dumb luck . . . but I had tried flashing a few times various ways before it stuck that time both with Odin 3.09 and 3.07. For the final flash I used 3.07.

I want root because of reasons, but I'm new to this puzzling approach to rooting, and all these different stories in threads here make me unsure about how to proceed.

My previous experiences are with my Samsung SGS2 but I was late to the party so rooting and flashing and going back to stock without 'tripping' anything is as easy as stealing babies from a candy.

There's no boss with a secure environment to run business apps in, so I guess I couldn't care less about KNOX. But does this method of rooting also break OTA updates from Samsung? Forever?
