Well, looks like I should have tried the easy solution before now... I just manually installed SuperSU from Google Play and it worked. Not sure CF-Auto-Root wasn't installing it, but it looks like it did everything but that piece.

Ok, been doing some reading trying to figure some things out about the OTA but still a bit unclear.... Now I have not rooted yet due to busy schedule and just haven't gotten the chance to take care of business... So I am completely stock, non-rooted... Do I just accept the OTA then go about my business and root? What is this qb method of taking the OTA I am seeing everywhere?

Can someone please clarify for me, would be much appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
yup, just accecpt the OTA and then root it with OP. All will be just fine.

The qbking method is for those who didn't want to wait for the OTA to come to their device. It can be flashed via stock recovery, but if you have the OTA, let it do it's thing.

Zorg dat alle leestekens op de juiste plaats staan en dat u alleen het numerieke gedeelte van het bedrag invoert. Als het bedrag bijvoorbeeld $5,00 USD is, dan voert u 5,00 in. - which, when translated, keeps saying i am putting in the wrong amount.

Does this quick root change the IMEI number? I tried to register my device and the samsung site says that my IMEI number does not exist. I also noticed that the "device status" says "modified". So how do I do a complete unroot and is that necessary? Also, how do I get SuperSU Pro after I've made a donation?

Edit: Figured it out. Still need SuperSU though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProCision:
This happens when you dont have the driver installed for your phone. If your using windows 7 just wait for it to tell you that the driver is installed and ready to use. Then click start
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chainfire:
I have updated all the CF-Auto-Root downloads. The scripts have been slightly improved, the roboto font is now used, and SuperSU has been updated to v0.98 !

There is no need to flash the updated version if you are currently successfully rooted (you'll have gotten the latest SuperSU from Google Play updates already).

Wow, this was awesome. Let it be known that I was also an old Evo 4G owner and knew nothing about Samsung devices. I got my Note 2 Saturday morning and did the OTA update after purchase.. and just now, on Sunday night, I'm officially rooted =]

Good work ChainFire!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tekn010933:
I am assuming that the new v0.98 would take care of this annoying OTA notification? would have to run it from odin again, never I will accept an OTA again :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ninja_unmatched:
I am on stock with the OTA and used this to root no problem. If you have the OTA then not sure what notification you keep getting.

When I first accepted the OTA it affected the phone's performance. I noticed a drop. I run Quadrant and it was getting scores in the 3000s. During the test I was seeing 40fps rates when I knew they should be at 60. So I flash back to stock then tried the OTA again and it was fine. Good ol 6000 7000 range again. So bad flashes are definitely possible. Maybe you should consider doing this also. That is if you haven't done so already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tekn010933:

Looks like Chain's released a new one, I see it now. So I do have to odin with the new one created.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aquaholik:
Decided to root since wifi tether is now working and 4G LTE is coming to my area soon. I was undecided after researching this method and the Note2 toolkit method. Did a lot of rooting and custom ROM on E4GT but still feeling nervous with this one since I cancelled TEP.

Went ahead and use the chainfire method since none of the custom roms looks good for now. I like the Jelly Bomb but don't like the blue look plus I can later install TWRP thru goo manager and then flash custom rom again like I did with E4GT after rooting with CF method.

Anyway, I installed the USB driver thru the Note2 kit and verified that it is working. I then proceeded to root using the OP. Press start twice and it looks like it succeeded the second time except no red Android and phone stuck on do not power off downloading mode. After two minutes, I pulled the USB cable and vol+, power, home, then the red android came up and proceeded to install SU. It reboot, I checked and SU was there. That was a nervous 10 minutes.

Installed and started Triangle Away. It went fine without a hitch. I then install busy box, then Trev Wifi tether. It didn't work at first but after reboot, it work fine.

So thinking that there might be something wrong with the USB driver that the Note2 Kit installed, I uninstalled it and install the driver thru samsung. It went fine except I got a missing hardware ID like some of you guys.

I didn't bother to reboot, just uninstalled it and then plug in my phone. Now, just like before I started rooting and before installing any USB driver from Samsung or Note2 kit, the windows 7 desktop recognized the phone just fine. It looks like you don't need the USB driver listed on Samsung website or the one that comes with the Note2 kit since windows will install the driver for the phone automatically.

I reboot the computer and tried reinstalling the USB driver(even the phone works just fine now with my desktop) using the Note2 tool kit. Rebooted and the phone is recognized just fine, no missing hardware ID and the note2 tool kit display the serial number confirming that the USB driver is installed correctly.

All in all, everything is working fine now even though the process was not butter smooth. Now how to donate using paypal. Clicking on donate leads me to a europe paypal page and was not sure if it safe to enter my password there. How do I send money using the US paypal? What is chainfire's paypal address?

sprint baseband L900VPALC?

hi sorry but im a note noob although i have rooted many androids im just a lil confused and i have googled and searched threads on xda & etc, but cant figure out if this will let me root my sprint note 2 on baseband L900VPALC will this method work? i could not find a flat out answer that this ver will work or not and i really dont want to brick my phone. thank you :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
First, are you certain that is the correct version, and does not end in LJC? If so...

...IMHO, easiest would be to Odin using this thread. Chainfire's SuperSU is already injected into the image giving you root and keeping your phone status as "Normal" (as opposed to "Modified"). Very easy, should take about 15-20 mins including time to download.

..if not, then IDK as I have not seen that version referenced anyplace for the Sprint Note II.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] QuantumPSI:
I had this installed on my phone and it worked great for a while. Then I was trying to transfer some music and I got into a boot loop. I have flashed every possible stock ROM and even this Auto-root to no available.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blkcamarozr28:
Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

Disclaimer- OTA didn't affect my root using chainfire method and the latest twrp package.

You can install the update to get rid of the notification in the tool bar. However, it will reboot into twrp recover and fail. Then in twrp select reboot and system. Apparently Samsung doesn't allow their firmware to install when it detects a modified boot loader. I've done this on a dozen notes. All of them remained on jelly bean 4.2.1 instead of the 4.2.2 that was supposed to be updated to. Root was still there! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JukeboxJohnny:
Ok, so I'm unrooted and am on 4.1.1. Can I update to 4.1.2 and root or should I root and then update to 4.1.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

Update then root...phone won't update if rooted first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JukeboxJohnny:
So, this rooting method in OP does work on 4.1.2? Hmm, I would have thought they'd have fixed that in the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

Yes it works. I rooted mine when on ljc but instead of unrooting, flashing update, then re rooting I just flashed the stock rooted deodexed ma7 rom, modified stock kernel, and ma7 baseband. Everything works fine and have had no problems. Doing the proper wipes beforehand as required.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ninja_unmatched:
Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

Not sure what is so hard. I just let the update install then used this to root it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NewMC:
That sounds like most who are on stock rom with stock recovery...the issue people are having is rolling back to stock recovery or tyring to update while in another rom and loosing root. I'm on the fence whether it is worth the hassle or to just run the update with a modified recovery and let it fail. I'm thinking I may just run it and let it fail to get rid of the annoying update message, atleast until I get tired of stock rom. I know it's only about a twenty minute process and I've spent much more time than that reading about it but not really wanting to go through the process for the time being.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ninja_unmatched:
Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

Then people are not reading the OP then. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NewMC:
I was agreeing with you but not sure what you are saying...the OP says nothing about any OTA or custom recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JukeboxJohnny:
Well, I reason I am asking is because no where in the OP does it say that root can be acquire after updating to the OTA update.

I only have stock right now, unrooted 4.1.1. So, I would update using the OTA update 4.1.2 and then root, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] musclehead84:
Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

This method works cause our bootloader isn't locked. It flashes a modified recovery them flashes supersu zip and then re flashes stock recovery. This should work on all future ota updates unless something drastically changes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JukeboxJohnny:
Ohhh, I see. That I did not know. Excellent, thank you. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ninja_unmatched:
Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

I thought it was implied by the way things were said in the OP & have installed several OTA updates then used this to get root back. And here again with MA7 it works again. Great job.

Systems folder?

How can I access the systems folder? What do I need to do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] robertm2011:
You need to be rooted. Then, install a file explorer app (ES is is my favorite and it's free) and give it su permission and navigate down to "/" and you'll see the system folder...

I used this root method, and it worked beautifully. I was wondering how I would go about adding a custom recovery to this now? Any help would be great.

Re: [2013.02.20][SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root

If you want twrp custom recovery Google twrp go to there website select your phone and DL it or you and find the thread in the same as this topic scroll up or down you find it it has twrp in the topic
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] robertm2011:
Or, just download the GooManager app (free from the Play Store), open it, click the menu button on your phone and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript", tap "Yes" on the Confirm screen and the latest TWRP recovery will be automatically installed on your phone. By the way, on this phone, kernels and recoveries are not tied together...

Dude! This is too cool! I have been trying other methods that *were* working with my Note 2, but no longer do. Mine would not Root.

Then I tried this one, because I saw the recent date on it and it worked *flawlessly*! :)

Thank you so much!!!

What I am wondering now (maybe somebody knows), is if there is any way to OverClock my Note 2 now??? Does anyone know of a reliable OC util that will work with my Note 2, understanding that I took a Factory Stock Note 2 and used ONLY this Rooting method on it?

I do not wish to install a whole new ROM or anything. I'm looking to take what I have and just OverClock it. Like you do with the A1 OC util on a Galaxy Tab 10.1" (P7510). I assume it just installs a Kernel that can be overclocked, without changing the ROM??? Sorry if I have my terminology mixed up. I'm no expert, but I can do it if I have good instructions, like with this Rooting method. :)

Thanks again for the great Rooting method and thanks in advance to anyone who can help me overclock my Note 2!

On MA7 (new phone) and I want to root because I NEED wifi tether. Used CF on the ET4G. I was wondering if AllShare Cast will still work after rooting with this method. I read where other methods made AllShare not work. Something to do with the Triangle and modified system.

for those wondering if this will root mc2, yes it will root it and work great.

steps of what i did

triangle away (there is an app made by chain on playstore) i purchased it and i would recommend it first it helps developer and it is a great tool

then i returned to a stock room and did the mc2 update, lost root plus lost twrp

keyreset device

then use cf root tool

works great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m5james:
I don't think my issue is update related because I've always had random issues with getting ODIN to see my phone (three cords last night and still no luck) for rooting purposes, so hopefully tonight goes better. Since the update I've simply lost the ability to tether, which sucks because I've been happy that I get 4G at my house. Anyone have issues with the computer seeing their phones?

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

I'm running a stock ROM, I am/was only rooted, nothing more and only did it once. Are you saying I have to Triangle Away to reset to 0 and completely reset my phone before I can redo the rooting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chamucoliz:
Triangle away is just to reset the counter to 0 if you flashed rom , if you never flashed rom then no need for the app also I always do a key reset just because sometimes I get problems with the update, so I rather key rest and then root it saves me from having issues on stock rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m5james:
I'm sorry, but what is "key reset"? Like an I going to have to backup my texts, restore settings, redo my email app, etc vs just something simple like clearing cache?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m5james:
Finally got rooted. After using three computers, searching Google for some "gadget serial" because I kept getting that issue. After searching that, it led me to another thread on these forums, which then led me to upgrading the Samsung USB Drivers from 1.3.8 to 1.5.18.0 which then fixed my issue. I don't have the link off hand, but here is the link for the newest drivers.

Hopefully u don't use a screen protector. It makes it not work as well. Other than that I live mine. The only thing I don't like is the fact that its so big and I have to carry it around separately.

I don't have have a note 10.1 to test.... I can see it working on that as the screen is similar to ours. Same with the note and note 2. As far as iphones, iPads, my transformer etc. It will work if u push extremely hard.... feels like I'll break the glass though if I do. Its because the tip is so fine, roughly half the size of a standard stylus
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elementaldragon:
it's to my understanding that the reason the C-Pen won't work on most other devices is because the Galaxy S3 and a few other Samsung devices have a higher "resolution" (if you will) touch sensor. Basically it doesn't require as much of a contact patch to detect touch.
