Verizon P905V Note Pro12.2 LTE Root & Recovery Bounty
- Thread starter aburns7487
- Start date
I downloaded the one directly from Chainfires site and pulled it out of the Zip file, as recommended in the thread.
Towelroot v3 works to root this version without tripping knox 0x0. I like that it has added some capabilities that i was looking for but now we need custom recovery (TWRP). How does one pull recovery? Someone had posted the software for p905v. I can share it from my mega acct. https://mega.co.nz/#!WFB21CzA!TLRT_CQC1Dmj1O6Rd3FM_FLLKue-rktvxX-wCbdDG0w
Hopefully someone can get this figured out for Bigbiff over on twrp

I successfully rooted with towel root(link provided here). I am now facing hot reboots at almost every wake up. Root is confirmed, now we need customer recovery. I'm in for 50 USD if someone gets on this.
Crap, I was looking to get a new Note Pro from Verizon, but seeing this thread hasn't been touched since last August, I'm not feeling to good about the prospects.
It annoys me that all the other variants get Dev love, and the Verizon versions are left by the wayside.

Well word is that the bootloader for the Verizon version is locked so..... Don't blame the devs.

Yes, but the Devs are the ones that can unlock bootloaders. Every time a new Android tablet is released, the Wi-Fi and non-Verizon variants get all the love from Developers while those with VZW Tablets are stuck twiddling our thumbs. I get the fact that Verizon is being douchey by locking them down, but that doesn't usually stop someone from cracking it.
Take a look at the HTC One M8--VZW made HTCDev.com unavailable for their phones, but someone achieved S-Off and Root within a few weeks of the phone's release.
In general devs dev for devices they own and use . . Given the locked bootloader a dev may not want to purchase a Verizon tablet and have to deal with that major hurdle before digging into the fun part of developing a ROM for it. My experience with the Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 left a bad taste in my mouth. It at least had some development but still...
Hopefully something comes for you folks but I don't have my hopes up.
I find it scary these days that unlock isn't as easy as it once was. It blows my mind that the bounties are so high for the Verizon and AT&T Note 4's for example. In case you haven't seen it here's a link; http://xdaforums.com/note-4-att/general/bounty-att-note-4-root-knox-list-pledges-t2946770
Can you imagine a $20k payday for a successful unlock and root that works on both variants?
I wonder if this is a record high bounty on XDA . .

I've been looking into this and here is what I have tried so far:
What I have not tried yet:
So I am guessing the image itself is signed and not just the kernel. If anyone has more info on Qualcomm SecureBoot it may help.
- Flash TWRP viennaltexx via Odin (fails, with auth error)
- Flash TWRP viennaltexx dd directly to partition (flashes, but will not boot with SECURE FAIL)
- Attempt to modify TWRP with kernel from original recovery, and initrd from TWRP (fail, same as above)
- Flashing the stock image via dd directory to partition (works, so check is in boot not flashing)
What I have not tried yet:
- Attempt to replace bootloader (aboot) with non-locked bootloader from non-verizon viennaltexx model
- Find more info about Qualcomm SecureBoot to attempt to self sign or otherwise bypass security.

Bump... still looking for a root for the SM-P905V running 5.1.1.
It's a really great tablet... but would be better if it was rooted.

No love for SM-P905V
I check this forum about once every couple of months with hopes that someone finally rooted Lollipop for this tablet. I've been sitting on KitKat root since 2014, and it looks like that's where I'll be for good. This place is becoming a ghost town.
Such a shame too. Even today, this is still a fantastic tablet.

Thanks

there appear to be 3 builds of 5.1.1 so far.
the first has had success with kingroot. the others have not been rooted so far.
P905VVRUANK5 - rootable with kingroot (though some people noted they had to run it multiple times)
P905VVRUBOH1 - not rootable so far
P905VVRSBPL1 - not rootable so far
you can find your version in settings > about device > baseband version

Nope, I just checked and it's not been possible to use the CF method....yet.
