Root Change

If I were to Root using this method, will I lose everything as far as data? Does this allow me to simply be "rooted", but nothing will change on my phone at all?

I have rooted phones in the past, but did it as soon as I got it so it wasn't an issue.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!

You can root it without losing data. Just pick the root option and install the all in one option.

If you still have TWRP, I then assumed the computer is still able to see your phone when you connect it with the cable. If so, go to this link from big bird to download either LJC or new MA7. They both work. Just download 1 of them then put it in the phone either internal or external and use TWRP to flash it. Before you flash the rom, just make sure factory reset. If you don't have TWRP, go TWRP. com and download the TWRP in tar file for the sprint note 2. Then flash it using odin v3.07 http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/.

Thanks to bigbird and many helping hands to rescue my semi brick note 2.

No. you have to root it again. tell your boss sign an agreement NOT to hold you responsible for the note 2 if you mess up again :). Then root it again with the toolkit. This time, pick option 42 and follow instructions which are very clear and easy. however, it will show MODIFIED in the phone status if he does not care.

This is what I have (in picture). In the toolkit their is no option for it. It has two other sprint options. Do I need to wait fir another version of toolkit to accomplish stock root or can I select one of the only two options available from the toolkit?

Take out the battery and put it back. Immediately hold down: Power, Home, Volume Up buttons until the Samsung Note 2 splash screen displays and then release to get to stock recovery. Once you get there, choose wipe cache/factory reset. You should be good to go. I assumed it's Sprint Note 2 and you chose option 42 when you tried to root.

PICK UP OPTION 42 in the TOOLKIT for Sprint Note 2 with MA7. My was updated to the same with your and option 42 will root the note 2 if you follow the instructions step by step. There is a video about it too. The only different is from the video is the option 42 for your phone because it's new update MA7.

Stuck in an activation boot loop after hitting factory reset!

Hey guys. I made an error this morning. I was doing some tweaking and hit the factory reset on CWM. Now I'm stuck

on an endless boot loop that trys to active the phone. It goes to the home screen where all of my stuff is still there. Nothing has reset.

and it trys to active the phone. Says it actives then wants to reboot to do a factory reset.

I was rooted with a stock rom. Nothing fancy. The phone won't stay active long

enough for me to do anything. What should I do? Is there something in the ToolKit that I can run?

Thank you.

After the factory reset, was your phone back up as normal? If so, the option for the new update MA7 4.1.2 in the toolkit is 42. Try to install fresh samsung driver by uninstall the existing one.

Re: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash to S

I went ahead and unplugged usb after another fail and just becsuse I like to live a lil dangerously sometimes and for the sake of curiosity... I pulled the battery out, rebooted the phone and plugged the usb back in all the while with toolkit still running and I get the message that adb couldnt start because the root is still in build process. Or something to that tune. The toolkit shutdown on its own otherwise I would have included a pic or what it said exactly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
If you are at Odin and it asks you to select the file, go to C\Samsung Galaxy Note2 ToolKit\root\SPH-L900 and select boot-insecure-aljc-recovery-SPHL900.

Factory reset again. Then take a break for now. Uninstall/delete all the toolkit and re-download it fresh and do it again tomorrow. I had corrupted file before for other android device. After re-download it again, it works. You can try other methods to root. Did you miss any step at all?

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

Iv tried a few times already with the end result being FAIL. I usually just pull the battery out while holding down the power button so it fully discharges then powerup phone again. Afterwards Ill boot into recovery which sometimes it shows an android on its back with its service hatch open with some kind of floating blue orb or a triangle with ! and then 3e. I usually wipe cache. Iv also done a factory wipe or two as well as uninstalling all samsung related drivers, registry clean then finally reinstalling samsung usb drivers.

has anyone tried to root there note 2 with the toolkit options after they updated to MA7 and what were your results?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
I guess I should have asked that ODIN said fail or nothing. Unlikely it did not see your phone since the toolkit could read it. Can you get the phone back to normal start up and use it? If yes, watch the video in the first and choose option 42 and that is the only different. If you cant get it back because it keeps saying phone is in download mode, go to TWRP.com to get the latest tar. file for sprint galaxy note 2 and flash it with ODIN. The only two options Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked along with PDA after you pick the TWRP tar file to flash. Then you can download the newly update MA7 along with root file here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769. Put two of them into the root of your external SD card. You can put those files into the sd card before you insert into the phone just in case the computer does not see the phone. You can still get your phone root through the method in the link I gave you.

The GYS indicates it's titanium color.
