Read the post linked below to understand everything about rooting. It all depends on your need, if you are ready to risk your official support and are confident, then you must proceed. Today, we’ll help and guide you to Root Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, both the WiFi (SM-P900) and LTE (SM-P905) variants.
To Root or NOT to Root, That’s the Question!
After the huge success of the Note series and its sale, the company decided to bring another one, but with a much more larger display and an unrivaled hardware for boosted performance. The Note Pro 12.2 carries a huge 12.2 inches multitouch super clear LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Krait processor, Adreno 330 Graphical processing unit, KitKat 4.4 out-of-box, S-Pen stylus support and much more. The device bought a real deal of profit to its OEM and sold successfully. But if you’re not still satisfied with the stock firmware delivered and are a true Custom Firmware believer, you should learn to root first.
