well i got a nice deal out of my N7000 and here I am.. my N7100 is on its way home.. was having some reading about the rooting process as the second thing I do when i get my android devices out of the box its root them(first its update).. as far as I can see and reading specially the good Dr. Ketans guides, the best way to root this baby its by flashing cf-autoroot..

I just downloaded the latest LL7 firmware and will update the device first.. so reading here and there seems like theres no problem with the firmware version and cf-autoroot .. So ill proceed because like Dr. Ketan I always keep my devices stock/rooted..

The thing its that its unbelievable that so far theres no easy way to root (n7000 like).. with easy i mean not raising the binary counter or anything.. as I dont like triangleaway but anyways.. greetings to everyone here... you will see me around now..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Hi msedek

welcome to Note2 family

I personally recommend to go for MA6/MB2, as you know sammy never speaks but LL7 was withdrawn from OTA may be something wrong.

Edit :

As you are already updating ROM so nothing special, otherwise here on Note2 have SDS - sudden death syndrome (just like brick bug on Note1), but bad part is on note1 at least it was due to wiping with unsafe kernel, here it is spontaneous and without triggering. but latest ROM LL7 and up (2013 release) believed to be have fix, and no case i have seen on these ROM
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] msedek:
Wow what a surprise... Well i was aware of the SDS because a friend lost his SIII by it.. didnt figured it does affects the note II too... Im downloading MB2 as you adviced.. but glad to hear it might be fixed because i bought my note from AMAZON so i got no warranty...guess im gonna play the roulette a little but i could not wait to June/july to get my hands on SIV so I got note 2...

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.. glad you are around.. hehe:good:

Thanks! Problem SOLVED!

@ Dr.Ketan,

THANKS! (yes, I'm shouting it!)

I didn't think that I needed specific drivers for Note2/win7 interoperation. It works fine on all other Win7 software. I can even copy and transfer files from Note2 to Win7 without that driver...

You solved my problem! Great!

Perhaps you might want to include this first step (driver installation) in the procedure as others like me may not be aware that it only worlks with a specific driver.

But all in all, thanks! Awesome little thing this Odin3! And awesome coontributor Dr.Ketan! Thanks a million!!!!

Mobile network failure after root

@ dr.ketan,

After acquiring root on my Note2 GT-N7105 my mobile connection failed. WiFi and Bluetooth still work and everything else works perfectly. Plz help me to fix my mobile network connection.

Help!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Can you see IMEI correctly on dialing *#06#
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ascanio1:
yes, I can. At the end of the correct IMEI it apends: " / 01 "
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
then there should be no reason

first try to connect manually

go to setting - wireless (more) - Moibile network

set network mode -Auto

and select provider from Network operator

If still not work

try reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data (this will erase data, so first make backup of data, including on Internal memory)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ascanio1:
done both...

:(

Nothing!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Re: [2012.12.04][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Can you again check your imei is same as shown on your box /bill

IMEI

Yes.

The same.

Except that it has "/01" at the end.

I will try another factory reset... this time from the phone menu (BTW, is it the same from phone or recovery?)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Re: [2012.12.04][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Better do with recovery, wipe cache and wipe data

as well try with other SIM card too.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ascanio1:
Only combination which does not work is my sim card in my device.

My Simcard can access mobile network in other devices.

Other sim cards can access mobile network in my device.

Could it be APN problem? My carrier is Softbank (Japan) and the operator could not find any problem with billing/account etc. Everything ok.

I did:

- another reboot + cache wipe + factory reset

- installed CWMod ROM manager

- Busy Box

- 4 different APN managers/setting apk (*) but still NO mobile network.

(*) I cannot be 100% sure that the APN settings I created are good. I used those for iPhone5 as this is my contract and my sim card (black iPhone 5 nano Sim) with the carrier. I use a sim card adapter.

PLZ note that everything work perfectly before root

Plz help!

Re: [2012.12.04][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Tried unroot it. Whether still worked on your carrier. This was a very challenging problem.

Send via i9100 using XDA premium,

ROM: Stock XWLSD

Kernel: Phil XWLSD V4.35

superSU 1.04
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
You mean you can't connect to net OR you are unable to use network at all(no call/SMS) ?

if you are unable to use data connection then it should only related with APN
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ascanio1:
@ timberwolf,

Do you mean to unroot first and then re-root or should I give up and just unroot the device and then and keep it that way...?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] timberwolf60:
Re: [2012.12.04][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Your problems like lost of efs file. If you can have a replacement of sim card to try out. Else do the fellowing:

Unroot or even reflashed the firmware if it can worked then rooted it again. Do a backup first.

@dr.ketan.

Before root:

MMS did not work.

SMS, Voice, WiFi, Bluetooth, and mobile network (but only 3G, no LTE) worked fine.

Today:

MMS and mobile network don't work.

SMS, Voice, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc., stll work fine.

recap:

My contract is with Softbank for an iPhone5.

I removed the nano sim card and I inserted it (w/ adapter) in my GT-N7105.

I knew that MMS would not work bcs also on my hTC DHD MMS didn't work until I set the correct APN.

I tried to set the correct APN but I did not succeed. So I decided to root, and you know the rest...

But, for 2 weeks, before rooting, mobile network (3G and H only) worked!!!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Re: [2012.12.04][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

How did you get apn?

Do one thing when you insert sim to other device and network works, copy apn manually from that device and input to note

Before that do this

Delete existing apn, and select menu button and select to reset to default (from apn setting page)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ascanio1:
Thanks! Problem SOLVED!

@ Timberwolf & dr.Ketan

I finally solved it by setting the APN manually with a Japanese blog values.

After I solved it, I googled those "values + android" and only 1 app turned up: "Offline SIM APN Database". Remeber this App for future reference.

All other apps set the wrong APN and the following didn't even work to start with:

1) Tweakker ICS APN beta (not Supported)

2) Apn global (hung and froze)

3) Tweakker APN Internet: (Not Supported)

4) One Click APN (didn't even open)

5) Softbank MMSReq It gave me an error: "failed to connect"

Guys, thanks! I really appreciated your help!

Now I need to find the right settings for my MMS which still don't work!

with my hTC desire HD (rooot) nothing worked until I found a Softbank User Agent for one of its phones which had the DHD's same display settings...

I'll keep you posted... if you have any ideas, plz let me know. The quest for freedom from Softbank continues!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Re: [2012.12.04][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Glad to know it solved, actually it was misunderstanding y'day, till today i was believing you are unable to register to networks, just came to know in morning msg, you have issues with just mobile data, and not mobile network.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ascanio1:
Apologies. My mistake! I am ignorant of the specific terminology... Yes, it was ONLY data. Voice/SMS was fine. Now I need to fix MMS!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
No problem, and sorry from me too, if i know it correctly, never ask to factory reset/reflash ROM, b'coz this is typically issue of APN only.

Anyway i won't forget application, i have added it to toolbox (post#4 of rooting guide thread)

btw, if you know a person having working MMS on his/her device and on same operator, try manually copying APN for MMS

Rooting Galaxy Note 2 on 2 N7100 on XXDMB2 Android 4.1.2 UK official Firmware

Hi,

Just got the update yesterday to the official 4.1.2 xxdmb2 UK firmware.

I can not root using the CF-Auto-root.

Went through the forum and the internet and still not successful.

The flashing process goes on well,

The phone boots to the rooting screen, process completes.

Rebooting, and testing root shows it is not rooted.

Event the SU app is not installed.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Describe the whole process how did you flashed

as well input Odin log here
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] imani:
The rooting process.

Do you ever rest?

Got the firmware from the Sammobile official Kies firmwares (had rooted the earlier firmware and kies was telling me my device was modified so had to do a manual upgrade).

Used the same process for all firmwares. Worked fine including rooting.

I did the usual process for rooting;

Tried with both Odin 3.07 and Odin 1.85:

1. Downloaded the CF-auto-root file from:http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

2. Booted the device into download mode

3. Started Odin 3.07/Odin 1.85 (Auto Reboot and F. Reset time selected)

4. Loaded the CF-auto-root file on PDA

5. Plugged in the device

6. Clicked start, file was flashed on the device successfully

7. Device boot into CF-auto-root screen goes through the whole process and got device will restart in 10secs (No errors)

8. Device boots but no root on all apps including root checker by Joeykrim

The Odin log:

<ID:0/007> Added!!

The flash counter has gone up.

Did the process with USB debugging off and then on.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Step 2.

You need to put device in download mode (vol down +Home+power) not recovery
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] imani:
My Bad, meant download mode
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
OK have you tried installing SuperSU from market?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] imani:
Thank you very much Dr. Ketan,

The issue was the app was already installed into the system partition but wasn't showing up on any of the launcher (Atom and Touchwiz). I figured it out after trying to install the SuperSU app, only to be told that it is already installed.

I side loaded the app and now it is working.

Thanks for the pointer

Is my phone will be considered as modified/rooted or unrooted untouched?????

Hi Everyone

I bought my note 2 around Nov 12, I rooted after few days and everything was ok. 4 weeks ago it stopped charging somehow I installed original software from Samsung Kies after unrooting and sent to Tmobile repair center. they sent my phone back after 2 weeks and said they updated new software and update this and now working fine. I rooted my phone as soon as i got it back from tmobile.

Now After a week it stopped working again and this time again, now I used chainfire's TraingleAway and using Samsung Kies I installed the latest version.

Please find attached both pics, does it look like is it ok to send it back to Tmobile and its fully unrooted. or I did something wrong and I have to try something else before i send thing to Tmobile so my warranty does not get voided.

Is my phone will be considered as modified/rooted or unrooted untouched?????

Thank you so much

Cheers

Does CF-Auto-Root for Note2 include SDS-safe stock recovery?

Hi,

Please can somebody tell me which recovery CF-Auto-Root for Note 2 installs? I know it is a stock recovery but is it one which predates the SDS fixes? I can not find any confirmation in this thread or on the site although i did find that the CF-Auto-Root for the SGS3 had its recovery kernel updated to ELLC recovery (this kernel for S3 includes the SDS fix).

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Here Cf auto root package also updated with SDS patch source.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] DraconianGothic:
stock recovery MA6 or MB2

Thanks dr.ketan.

Does this mean that the stock recovery kernel now used in CF-Auto-Root is the same as the ones in your own thread at post #6 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31986738&postcount=6 ?

Do you know if CF Auto root uses stock recovery MA6 or MB2 etc? Are both SDS safe as one is January and the other February?

Many thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Re: [2013.02.20][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Basically cf auto root uses its own recovery one time, then it re flash one from your rom script, so you will have same as per your rom.

Re: [2013.02.20][GT-N710x][SHV-E250*] CF-Auto-Root

Dr. Ketan

I've had no SOD till now. Just checked my EMMC chip n I got this result. Insane chip.

Do you think I should ask for a replacement?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
yes you have faulty chip, but almost all have this, having this chip they won't give replacement unless you have SDS.

Just flash latest ROM (2013 released) to prevent device from having SDS.

This is kinda of a noob question..

I rooted my Note 2 with CF-Auto-Root. Now I want to unroot just to get the 4.1.2 OTA update. When I go to SuperSU, and unroot, it says that the unroot will be permanently. Does this mean that after I do the unroot and update my device, I wouldn't be able to root again with CF-Auto-Root? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can reroot after update.

4G/Softbank and 5GHz 802.11n

@ dr.ketan,

You pulled me out of the dark once, I am hoping you can repet yourself and help me again. Sorry for boothering you, but...

1.

Since my last post here my 4G never functioned.

Softbank, my carrier, should be using at least one band which is compatible with my hardware:

http://www.japanmobiletech.com/2012/03/japanese-mobile-frequency-bands.html (there is also a post from me there which went unanswered...)

Any advice how to get my device to connect on the 4G network?

2.

Another radio issue that I have is that my device won't even show 5GHz 802.11n networks. Of course all my other clients can.

Any advice?

I turned Wi-Fi on today and a software update started downloading (I'm on 4.1.1). I was surprised because I'm rooted and when I tried 2 months ago to do a software update in the "About phone" menu, it said that my device was modified and I can't do that. So why can I do it now? I don't want to update, and I'm afraid if I leave the phone with Wi-Fi on it would update by itself/ I'm rooted with CF-Auto-Root and I don't use a custom recovery.

I've tried clicking start anyway, and Odin tells me everthing was done right, but once the device reboots there's no SuperSU in the app list.

Stock recovery

Hi and morning,

I rooted my N7105(via CF Auto way) and is about to flash TWRP but before I do that, one quick question. If in the event I need to revert back to Stock Recovery for warranty purpose, can I just re-run your CF Auto again so I can get back stock recovery? I have been searching high and low for a thread that will show me how to get back stock recovery but can't find any......until I remember about reading your thread here that running CF Auto puts root and Stock Recovery into the phone.

Will it work to get back Stock Recovery after I flashed another recovery(eg. CWM or TWRP)?

Thanks

GT-N7105 doesn't detect USB connection

Hi,

after getting my Note 2 LTE back from repair (they changed the mainboard, speaker, vibrator and USB port) I'm now trying to root it using Odin 1.85 (have tried 3.07 too). The problem is that neither the phone nor the PC detects any USB connection at all while in download mode, ie. it doesn't even pop up with a driver request or anything. Device manager doesn't show any change in devices either. I've tried with going into download mode with voldown+home+power and with 'adb reboot download'. The phone is fully charged.

The PC runs Windows 7 (I used this same machine to root the phone when I got i back in November, and I haven't changed anything on it, other than the usual software updates). I've tried two cables that both work when connecting the phone while booted normally. The one I'm using now worked fine to transfer about 1 GB of pictures back to the memory card.

When I sent the phone in for repair after it died on me during nightly charging it was running 4.1.1 as I hadn't gotten around to updating.
