3.Open Exynos Abuse application from App drawer

How to Unroot and make status Normal

Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.

1.Rooting with stock recovery

- Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.

You can have two choice to root device from recovery

1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery. [Recommended method]

Here this will not just root your device but also add safe kernel (patched for mmc erase cap command) so you can safely wipe your device. as well gives you advanced recovery with it you can flash flashable zip files, nandroid backup/restore and more.

All credit goes to Phil3759 for awesome work.

And download kernel in zip format according ROM you are having on device.

-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory

-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)

-Select install(update) zip from ext SD card

-select '[your downloaded kerenel].zip' which you have copied to Ext card above

-Reboot device

Now you will have Root + safe kernel

1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this

- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95

-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.

-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)

-Select install zip from ext SD card

-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above

-Reboot device

-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.

-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.

-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip

-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card

-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.

-Done !

PS : If you can't see superSU after flashing above file(sometimes happen if there is too low space like in LQ3 ROM, then use this Root_superSU, followed by same above Root_busybox file.

Immediately after This I recommend to

1.Backup EFS

2.Flash any safe kernel with mobile Odin.

UnRoot :

Busybox uninstaller - Flash in recovery

Complete unroot (busybox+Superuser) - Flash in recovery

2. Short, easy - requires to reset counter

-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.

-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.

-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away

-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.

3. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark

-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it.

OR

Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin

-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery

-Install Mobile Odin Pro

-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)

-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.

-Open Mobile Odin Pro

-select open file

-Point to ROM file you have copied

(file name varies from image above, this is for demo purpose)

-All fiels will popup and feel automatically

-select kernel and point to custom kernel file you have copied

Tick 'Enable ever root' and 'Inject superuser(super SU) -(see image)

Flash.

Done!

First thing you should do after rooting is

-backup EFS folder ( you can use Ktool for that)

-to make some space (at least 15MB). You can safely remove google+, youtube and later install from market.

Now your device is full rooted, and use Titanium backup(or which you have used to backup) to restore
