No need to root to remove ads including YouTube ads. Go to ad block plus site and download the apk from there. Just change the Internet settings to manual and put localhost port 2020 and you are good to go.

I'm already rooted, but what is 2020 never heard that before?

Rooted with CF-Auto root. And tested to go to the standard-recovery again. No problem

Now just waiting for a custom-recovery like TWRP.

if you are rooted, the best ad blocker is ad away. you can just download the apk and its really good.

i uninstalled ad blocker, its effective but the way changing the port seems pages on the internet are not loading even on youtube.

Once rooted, can we use goo manager to get twrp? Anyone try?
*edit I tried, no luck

Anyone have any ideas why CF's root would be getting stuck at cache.img for me? I'm bummed I can't get this working.

I had the same issue using the 1.85 version of Odin packaged with the CFROOT. I re flashed stock then used Odin version 3.07 and it worked fine on my P900.

I rushed this trying to do it before I ran out the door and got Firmware upgrade encountered an issue on the screen- Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.

Can someone walk me thru the steps to correct so when I get back in later I can fix this. used odin 3.07 have P900

EDIT: Looks like using the recovery tar than the odin tar worked ...... Rooted

Edit: Had the cache.img freeze issue on two computers. Decided to download the cf - auto root again and use 7 zip instead of win zip. Sure enough it worked flawlessly with Odin 3.07 that is packaged in autoroot.

The issue is not with the unzip tool. It is with the version of Odin. It was packaged with v3 1.85. Chainfire nowpackages it with 3.07 due to the issues with 1.85.

While i agree that all users should use the version that chainfire packages with cf autoroot, in my case the cache.img issue was not related to version of odin. On both computers I used both the 3.07 tool packaged with autoroot and 3.09. It did not work with either one until I re downloaded the file and unzipped it again using 7zip. Whether it's that my original download was bad or the unzipping was bad I don't know but I am certain that in my case it was not the version of Odin that I was using since I tried about a dozen times using different versions and usb ports.

Bottom line is users who have the issue should download the file again and use the packaged version of odin.

A common solution to those having issues: Use 7zip instead of WinZip to unzip the files (as stated above). I just rooted SM-P900 in less than 3 minutes from unzip to root.

Just fyi, I was using 7 zip when I was having trouble. It was switching to more recent version of Odin that fixed it for me.

How will rooting affect the Knox counter?

My 12.2 doesn't seem to have anything knox-installed, although there is an app suggested for it on the Samsung App Store, but I installed nothing. Unit was bought in the netherlands and surprisingly, it has almost zero bloat. No country specific apps, etc. Comes pretty clean from start.

Just want to get rid of the ads and have firewalling.

As you probably already suspect, just because you don't see a knox application doesn't mean that the counter itself doesn't exist.

Completely power down your Note Pro.
Hold the Volume Down button and then hold down Power, wait until you see the warning screen come up and then release both.
Now press volume up once.

See below for the Knox counter being tripped. Stock should be a 0, not a 1. Given that there has been no way found yet to root the 10.1 2014 edition without tripping the counter and no way to reset that counter I highly doubt there's currently a way to do so with the Note Pro 12.2.

In my case it was the other USB port, which brought the (root) redemption.
Now rooted KNOX +1 - damn Samsung you have that necessary? So many
companies phones do not exist right now. And the government phones come
not from you...

Verizon's LTE Model

Hey everyone, I had just purchased Verizon's version of the Note Pro 12.2 LTE and attempted to root with CF Auto Root and Odin, however while there is a Auto Root version for the SM-P905 model (the LTE model), Verizon's model is slightly different in that it's model number is SM-P905V. I attempted to root with the Auto Root files for the regular P905, however Odin returned a FAIL message and there were no adverse effects on the tablet. Does ChainFire need to be notified of this discrepancy? I have searched all over the forums regarding this issue but to no avail.

Thanks for sharing. My SM-P905V just came today.

Same deal here. I've got the 905V yesterday and have the same issue.

From what I saw on Chainfire's auto root thread, you will probably have to give him the stock recovery.img from your devices so he can make a custom root for it. Having said that... I have no idea how to actually GET that file :/ Hopefully someone else can chime in with more detail.
