Well I can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't know. How do I find this out? I got it from at&t and it's SM-P907A I'm rooted and not sure where in build prop to look.
According to this page it seems it's Exynos based.
Well, actually, looking further I have no idea. On the main text it says it's Exynos, but in the full specs it says it is a Qualcomm. So, go figure....

Why is TWRP the most difficult file to find?

1. I am eternally grateful for TWRP.
2. I've never had so much trouble finding the proper TWRP files whenever there is a post for a new version, no matter the device.

This is the Note Pro 12.2 Orig Dev forum, the title of the thread says 2.8.1.0, but that file just can't be found. The TWRP site has a few different entry points for finding a device, but none of them list 2.8.1.0 for v1awfi (if you're lucky enough to know the code name).

I guess I have 2 questions:
1. Does 2.8.1.0 exist for this device and if so, where the heck do you find it. The TWRP app throws an error saying it's confused if you pick v1awfi, if you hit the install, it says file doesn't exist, The Goo.IM app is gone and it hasn't been fully integrated into Rom Toolbox yet. Where the heck is this thing? (Please). I'm a sponsor for goo.im and have been a pro user of Rom Toolbox since day one. I pay for all my utility apps.

2. I've found this mild frustration for nearly all my devices. I'm going to donate to the cause because without TWRP we'd live in an awful world, but I can't be the only person who runs around for an hour to try to find a file announced in the title of the thread. Could putting a link in the OP to the file referenced in the OP be added?

I don't trust the apps anymore to work right. I advise Odin, then zip, then dd installs in that order of preference.

EFS backup missing.

As I find it a very important partition to backup I just unpacked your recovery and added the following in the twrp.fstab (green)
Code:
/boot        emmc        /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/BOOT
/cache        ext4        /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/CACHE
/data        ext4        /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/USERDATA        length=-16384
/recovery    emmc        /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/RECOVERY
/system        ext4        /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/SYSTEM
/external_sd        vfat        /dev/block/mmcblk1p1    /dev/block/mmcblk1
/efs        emmc        /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/EFS [COLOR=Green]             flags=backup=1;display=EFS[/COLOR]
/radio        emmc        /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/RADIO
/usbstorage    vfat      /dev/block/sda1 /dev/block/sda                     flags=display="USB Storage";storage;removable
Repacked it and now it makes a backup ot the EFS partition. I tested it and all the files are in the backup as well the permissions.

I attached it , you can install with custom recovery , now you have a backup / restore option for the EFS partition.

A wifi only device got also a EFS partition which contains device exclusive info like "imei" "wifi mac", etc..... if this got corrupted in any way and you don't have a backup, wifi, bleutooth and other stuff won't work anymore.
My model is P900 Exynos wifi only device. The EFS partition is not only important for device with a modem for 3g or 4g.

Please let me know if http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-v1awifi.zip lets you backup EFS.

hello there, I've checked the twrp website for 2.8.1.1 and it's not there, nor can I find it here in the thread. 2.8.1.0 is also missing

am I missing something painfully obvious? lol

edit: found it on the mirror but it is missing from goo.im
