Believe it or not, I'm still on 4.4.2 as it originally came, not even rooted.. all stock. This has been my wife's tablet and it's been great for her like this. Unfortunately (or fortunately, haha) she bought an IPad Pro 12 and now I get to play with the Note Pro 12.1. I am actually really enjoying, but this thing needs a serious upgrade, root, recovery and a proper custom ROM.
Since I may be among the world's last persons to be running a Note Pro 12.1 still with factory firmware and zero updates, my sole question is: Can I get this thing a recovery in and flash it directly to this new 7.x ROM or do I need to do other stock Samsung ROM updates first before I can go from 4.x to this custom 7.x?
I just ask because on my Lolipop Tab S2 that I wanted to get it updated to a custom 6.x ROM, I couldn't do it for over one year (!) because I needed to be on a 6.x Samsung stock ROM first and they ONLY FINALLY released a 6.01 ROM for my region (Hong Kong) a couple months ago.. pretty astonishing company!
Anyway, hopefully I can get the Note Pro 12.1 easily out of its current factory state and a into proper new one. Thanks for the heads-up and of course thank you for this 7.x ROM. Can't wait to give it a spin
