You might already know the digits “12.2” in the Galaxy range. The Note Pro and the Tab Pro both offer the 12.2 option and they are two separate devices. Make sure you know the guide below is only for the Note variant before starting. Kingroot is the method we are using today, which gives devices a “soft” root option. Furthermore, you can easily unroot the device using the Kingroot application by opening the app up later and clicking the button. Many people prefer Kingroot because it doesn’t come with the risk of bricking your handset. After installing the app and opening it from the app drawer, you can click the button to double-check your device is available for the rooting. It’s at this point where if the display says “no” you can turn around and go back. Doing so eliminates bricking.
If you are one of the many who like rooting Android to use the additional root-requiring apps from Google Play, we highly recommend using this Kingroot method. However, if you are wanting to install custom ROMs and change the UI, you’ll be better off finding a different tool.
Rooting your phone is an unofficial process which is not recommended by Samsung or Google. And if you root your tablet, then you will lose your phone’s warranty and now you will not be able to claim it in any service center. Make sure that you follow the guide carefully because rooting is a risky process as it exposes the system files of your Android device which may brick down your device if any system files got corrupt or damaged.
All you need for this rooting process is a PC with internet connection so you will be able to download the files we need in rooting process. A USB cable and your phone with USB debugging enabled on it, enable it by going to Settings > About Phone > tap on build number 7 times. Come back to the Settings > Developer Options > enable USB debugging by checking the USB debugging option in there.

Backup all of your media files (these are very important) like photos, videos and music to your PC or any other external drive like SD card or flash drive. Sync all of your contacts to your Google account which will keep them safe from any damage and you can also export them to your SD card.
