Hmm... what do you need root for? No offense, just asking...

Well another question is - do you need CWM or you´d like to get the phone Rooted while running Stock recovery?

Yo´d probably loose guaranty... unless you live in EU. as it seems rooting does not kill your varanty: http://www.pocketpc.ch/c/3008-laesst-rooten-android-geraeten-gewaehrleistung-erloeschen.html

CWM: Clockwork mod - alternative recovery (has a lot of great functions and with this tool its really easy to get it work)

Stock Root: can be done with ODIN (PC) by simple flashing CF-Auto-Root-SGN2.tar: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 (not that many functions like CWM but after using Triangle Away you will be ok with claiming your guaranty if anything happens - just flash stock rom via download mode / ODIN for PC)

Another alternative - flash pre-rooted Stock ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1915386 (easy and simple, the same result like with "Stock Root", but I don´t like it ;))

I suppose the best is if you read a bit through the first few pages to know what can be done, then think about what you need root for and then probably use the tool (it really is simple and works great!).

Good luck ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] leonalewis:
I'm on stocked JB 4.1 with root active. I had installed some apps, like app2sd, busybox and airdroid. Just after this I did a reboot into recovery then

1) clear cache

2) clear daviak cache,

3) clear battery stats

4) fix permissions

5) reboot into system.

Just after following the above process my note 2 keeps on rebooting from Samsung N7100 boot logo to homescreen for (2 sec) and then again reboot.

I can't find a way to understand what went wrong please someone help me.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
What I meant is that I have the stock boot images for the other 2 korean variants and now that I know 1 of them works the other 2 should work aswell (after I root them and add them to the toolkit).

I didnt mean 1 image would work for all 3 variants.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
You have a GT-N7100? Which recovery do you have flashed?

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Narhim:
I had sth. similar when I cleared dalvik cache but I was on STOCK ROOTED (CF-Auto-Root) and it seems that she is not (too many functions in recovery)... Had to reflash Stock and redo rooting and everything after that fiasko.

Btw. Thanks a lot for the Tool! Great thing makes life really easy :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] leonalewis:
Yes its the same [GT-N7100], I forgot to add GT in front sorry. Anyway I have presently have

CWM v6

installed [Automatically installed at the time of Rooting]. I have used samsung nexus and galaxy s2 before and usually do those 5 steps after installing bunch of apps and I was under the impression its the same for Note2.

Later that day I did a nandroid backup and then restored to factory reset, and recovered specific data with TB. In S2 and SNexus never is that such a thing happened forget Stock not even with Custom Roms.

Though I still wish to know what is triggering it to go into such kind of limitless Loop?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Narhim:
For that you have to check out what made it behave like that - try out all the processes separately and if everything is fine you can try out combinations... It's a lot of work but if you really want to know it's probably the only way to find out.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Pumbi:
I really love your work,keep going !
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] skivnit:
i can't run it :( keeps saying adb toolkit command unknown :( i used your toolkit for my S3 without a problem
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] marvelspires:
just a quick question:

From what I saw, it has possibility to ROOT + Busybox the original rom without changing the recovery? Mobile will continue with the factory rom but with root + busybox?

I've seen that has way, great program will be making a donation as soon as possible.

Nevermind i figured it out.. thx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] boogiecornejo:
so i rooted using option 3(all in one) staying on my stock rom, flashed a few mods that were only for deodexed roms and got errors(didnt know the diff bet odex and deodex then, now i do) then decided to install a custom rom(omega) to start fresh. as soon as the omega rom booted up, i noticed the screen saying that the ui failed or something like that, same as when i installed the transparent status bar mod . i then proceeded to do a factory reset. after 15 mins of nothing happening on the phone i took out the battery and tried to boot into recovery. alas, it wouldnt do that. neither would it boot up normally. now im stuck not knowing what to do. i tried to search through this thread but only got as far as page 25 until i gave up.

is my note 2 bricked? im trying to reflash stock rom through odin and am currently waiting for the download to finish. im not sure if that would work since i dont think i can adb. i have a nandroid backup on both my SD card and my pc. what should i do?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] minamfm:
First of all, you don't need adb to flash a stock rom through odin.

Second:

Do you get the samsung logo but nothing happens after that or is it a completely black screen??

try booting into download mode:

1) Turn off phone (usually I remove the battery and keep it removed to ensure that the phone is off but this is optional only if not removing it doesn't work)

2) Press Power + Volume down + Home buttons

3) Press Volume up

You should now have the android robot and the word Downloading..... on the screen.

Then start odin, click on PDA browse to the CWM recovery file (you'll find it in the toolkit /recovery folder and click start. If this doesn't get your recovery working, then you will need to flash the stock rom using the same technique.

Tell me how it goes
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] boogiecornejo:
i did get to flash a stock rom from odin, rooted again and now can boot to the phone but still cannot boot to recovery. at least im out of the bootloop but its still a big question as to why my recovery seems to fail after a rom flash. i tried both kinds of custom recoveries. is it the rom i chose? omega seems to be the most popular of all the roms and must be stable for so many people to choose it. im happy i got my GN2 running again...

update: i reflashed custom recovery and was able to flash a theme but the same warning "system ui failed" came up again and my status bar has disappeared. i want to wipe my internal sd card and see what happens. how do i do that?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] minamfm:
So are you on stock or omega now? If you try to flash a theme on stock you will experience system ui failing.

You need to flash omega first.

Do you want to wipe everything on the internal sd? or just system and data (without data/media)

If you want to only wipe system and data, then go to cwm recovery and do wipe data/factory reset and be sure to have a rom file in there so you can install the rom after you wipe.

Hope this clears stuff up a little
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] boogiecornejo:
yes i installed omega first then the theme. i really cant understand why its behaving this way. this is my first sammy and being so used to htc phones, i really have my head spinning here. hahaha!

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goodm7sn:
awesome toolkit mate , thanks , one question , Rooting the Note 2 using the toolkit will raise the flash counter or not ?

thx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
Flashing any custom firmware via Odin will raise the flash counter but im confident Chainfire will add the Note2 to his triangle away app so that it can be reset.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
I have had a generous offer of server space and unlimited bandwidth so as soon as my account is set up I will upload the Toolkit there for a faster more stable download. Thats if I can track the downloads, otherwise I will have to look at alternatives. For now I will upload it to dev-host so I have a trackable mirror.

I love this place :) Currently have an S2 (rooted and flashed lots of times :D) and getting the GN2 on Tuesday. Looking forward to using this toolkit.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] duongnt:
Hi mskip

I wonder if your tool can be used to extract my current rom? My note2 is Vodafone contract and the baseband version is N7100BUALI8, build number is JRO03C.N7100XXALIJ, which contains some of the Vodafone apps that cannot be uninstalled. All the stock rooms available to download are not matched. For warranty reason, if I want to have it warranty, I need to put it back to the original firmware as well as not having any binary counter. Thus, I would like to have my original firmware back up before install anything that could put me at risk.

I am not sure if NANDROID backup is the option that I need but when I tried, your tool guides me to use ODIN to flash a unsecured boot image, which I think will raise the counter and I did not continue.

Many thanks and I am looking forward to using your tool.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
There is no way that you will be able to back up your current Rom without raising the flash counter as you will need to either flash an insecure kernel or flash a custom recovery. The best way to keep it as close to stock as possible is to flash cwm recovery, boot to recovery and backup the rom. The only stock part that will not be saved is the recovery but you can easily flash a stock recovery after restoring the image. Of course that requires flashing cwm recovery which will raise the flash counter so if you are really that worried then maybe you should just stick with stock until the flash counter can be reset. Im sure it wont take too long.

Personally my flash counter is upto 15 already :)

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] silvatyrant:
Thanks, Mark. Brilliant toolkit.

Is there any way to hide the su binary from within Android? I've tried Hide My Root but it doesn't seem to work. I suppose it's geared towards playing nice with Superuser and not SuperSU.

Any apps you can think of? Or should I ask Chainfire to include a temp unroot in his next version of SuperSU? :)

Once again, this toolkit is wondrous! Maybe I should give you some beer money for all your hard work?...Hehehe!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SpaceK33z:
Hi Mark, thanks for the awesome toolkit. I successfully flashed and rooted XXAJL1 on my Note II with it.

One question though, I accidently performed a hard reset (long story, haha). Fortunately I had back-upped my apps with your toolkit via the backup menu (option 1). But now I can't restore them, if I try option 9 in the backup options it says 'adb: unable to connect for backup'.

USB debugging is on and drivers are installed (device is also recognized).

after few weeks of playing arond with note II today i had tried this tool - works like a charm. instaled TWRP without any issues, Kies is ON andworking fine and ODIN as well. Did install USB drivers though from toolkit. No issues so far.

just one observation so far - serial number doesnt match with device serial number not sure why, but not a bottle neck!

Using twrp did a backup of system, it worked, next try is via toolkit. will keep informed!

Thx :) its an excelent thought over tool and appreciate it

The free version only has the files for the n7100 but the donator version has the files for all the models including the n7105. If you flash anything thats not for the right model you'll brick your phone. As long as you pick the n7105 model you'll be fine

Hi,

Ok Just bought the Note2 LTE GT-N7105,

Android 4.1.1,

Build number JRO03C.N7105XXALJ5,

Baseband version N7105DXALJ1.

Here's the problem,

Everything when fine, I picked the International model GT N7100, Android 4.1.1, Build JRO03C ALJ3. It the nearest build number to my ALJ5 so I choose it.

I manage to full root with touch cwm install The phone works flawless with wifi.

But it did not get any phone signal and did not detect my sim card because the radio baseband is gone. BASEBAND Version: unknown.

I'm F---ed now, I can't make phone call, any Help here to recover the Baseband Radio?

I manage to unroot it back and it's back in stock with samsung stock cwm, but my baseband radio is still gone.....oh my god...I'm really f---ed now

My custom binary download count is 3 now ----another problem to get it reset if I want it to sent it back...does anyone tried the chainfire [2012.11.17][ROOT] TriangleAway v2.37......does it work on Note2 N7100 or N7105?

Any help is appreciated to get back my baseband. And how do I backup my baseband next time, if i want to root it with a new unroot set?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
Well...my Note 2 is also brand new (coming from the Note1) and yesterday I used this tool for the first time.

I have the N7000 international build AlJ3

I would suggest you flashing the original firmware back with Odin

Than with some bull here and there i got to change for a new set with zero count and official, because its a day old the dealer accept it. Now I got a new set :laugh:

so i will hold it till N7105 got lotsa custom rom and with stable edition. No doubt Samsung is easier to root than HTC but with HTC once you get rooted u are pour away with any custom rom and the phone will work......

So must learn Samsung way now.
