can someone be so kind to point me to the APK or ZIP for SuperSU from this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

all i could find was the Update "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip" which wasn't working from recovery.

(i'm still having trouble with the "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped." error)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] force70:
Its right in the OP which I assume you didn't read? Usually a good idea before posting questions :thumbup:

http://download.chainfire.eu/451/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip

And if Its not working its something on your end since I just flashed 2.01 in twrp and its fine.

and that's the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip" file i was talking about (which i assume you didn't read my post). :thumbup:

that's a flashable ZIP file, not the APK. it wasn't flashing in stock recovery. i can't install TWRP until i can have root, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] force70:
You said apk or zip lol.

You could install twrp via odin and the flash the su zip via twrp...and you will have root.

lol. got me there. i was thinking of a ZIP file of an APK. :laugh:

after long googling, i finally found a download that wasn't crapware. so i installed SuperSU via APK, installed TWRP via Play Store (TWRP Manager). and now i'm all good with the Ditto Note 3 custom ROM.

After reading from post #290 onward I tried all the steps including downloading Superuser.apk (2.02) from the xda thread and I just can't seem to install it with ES file explorer. I get "App not installed - An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed."

I'm running stock i317m, flashed with odin 3.09. Any help would be appreciated.

Try flashing a cwm recovery or philz recovery, using Odin, and then go to recovery flash the SuperUser zip file

Hi can anyone help me?

I tried doing the CF autoroot method. everything works and my note 2 boots back up but it doesn't go into recovery mode or I can't seem to access the recovery rom. I even tried using ODIN to install CW recovery and still can't. Am I doing something wrong? I just got this phone and I'm pressing both volumes +home key when powering on but it just boots up to android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] force70:
Your doing it wrong thats why :confused:

Volume up+home+power.

A simple search would have told you that, search first ask later..you know how it works here lol.

and im not exactly sure what u mean by recovery rom?

sent from Canada via my Note 3, Note 2 or One X+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] trunks10k:
yeah i just figured that out. I c your also from T.O. I just bought the phone off someone today. It's locked to Bell been trying all day to unlock it but the unlock method by going through the debug mode doesn't seem to work for me. I finally got custom recovery and I did the dumbest thing by letting Kies update the firmware for me. Now I'm trying to get stock 4..1.1 rom back but really wanted to ask if you know how I would go abouts unlocking it. My sim is with Koodo/Telus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] force70:
Yep. T dot here also.

You will need to get back on the orig firmware then unlock it. I unlocked my s3 and note 2 the same way, really easy but not if it updated!

What did kies update you to? 4.4? If it did as far as I know you cant go back even via odin.

sent from Canada via my Note 3, Note 2 or One X+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] trunks10k:
damn... i think it did 4.4.. so i'm screwed>?

guess I need to pay someone to unlock it then? I unlocked my s2 was easy.. but this is pretty frustrating

Edit.. Holy Smokes! I got it to unlock!!! I downloaded the Rogers_j2 modem and flashed it. Follwed the hidden menu unlock method and it worked!! wtf!@!! took me like the whole afternoon-evening!!.

well looks like we got an update. I317UCUCNJ1 4.4.2 OTA Update

is this possible also for N7100?

my n7100 is network dead after downgrading rom.

i`ve been trying different roms and 4.1 reads gen. IMEI

4.4.2 reads correct IMEI but dummy serial number and says out of service.

was wondering if your method could fix it.

Hi

Can someone tell me please why I can not find on official page of Chainfire the .zip for I317MVLUDNF1 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
You can also root the i317m by flashing twrp and then flash supersu with twrp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
anmac1789, I am in the same boat as you. I have not tried to customize ;) my Note 2 since very early days with Bell Root66 rom. I understand that we need to upload a stock recovery.img in order for Chainfire to try and make a CF autoroot. I can not figure out how to do that?? I am on Virgin Mobile (Bell) V4.4.2 as well.

To flash TWRP using Windows:

open Odin and uncheck everything except f reset time;

click on the PDA box and select the tar version of TWRP that you downloaded;

put the phone into download mode and connect the phone to the computer;

flash TWRP and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery which should now be TWRP.

To root, copy supersu to the phone's internal memory and a micro SD card, boot into TWRP, and install zupersu.zip from TWRP, reboot, allow binaries to update it required, reboot, and you'll have root access.

To root without flashing TWRP and the phone has stock recovery, download and flash cfautoroot from here:https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

will this allow internal storage being used a USB mass storage or to appear as a drive letter in windows explorer so that we can import files such as word documents, pdf files, .m4a voice recorded files as well ? just like how we import photos and videos by right clicking on the samsung phone when it appears in windows explorer ... Thank you.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Rooting has nothing to do with allowing mass storage. On a stock ROM, connecting the phone to a Windows machine in MTP mode will allow the phone's internal and external storage to appear as a drive letter in File Explorer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] anmac1789@gmail.com:
before when I had my note 2 unrooted, when I checked on windows file explorer, it only allowed me to use "import pictures and videos" when I right clicked on the phone in windows explorer. But, what about regular files such as those described above ? I want this function because relating to imorting pics and videos, the original date and time created,modified,accessed were retained for pics and videos. I want this same functionality for importing regular files such as pdf, word, powerpoint, excel files etc...

thanks....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
If you flash TWRP, you can boot into TWRP and it should show as another drive, although you may need to mount the data partition from TWRP.

With a stock ROM, I recall being able to drag and drop files to the Note 2. Unfortunately, I no longer have a note 2 for testing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] anmac1789@gmail.com:
I'm sorry what does this mean? How do I do this ? does it show internal drive on my note 2 as a drive letter on windows explorer ?

I was able to also drag and drop, however the date and time fields change for files as well as pics/videos when drag n dropping to my laptop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
If you boot into TWRP and you connect the phone to the computer, the phone should be given a drive letter in Windows Explorer.

As for the change in file dates and times, that is a Windows issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] anmac1789@gmail.com:
my phone is already rooted using beginnersguide post on this forum. Will booting into TWRP do a hard wipe on my note 2 ? Is there any third party program that will not change the date and time when importing from the note 2 to my laptop ? Thank you. ....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Booting into TWRP will not wipe anything.

As for the dates and times, try googling "how to stop windows from changing file date and time".

audit13, I believe I have located my problem. My charge port is flakey...sometimes phone is connected ..sometimes not. Tried different usb ports, cables, computers. I am going to try a find a place in Calgary to get it fixed.

I would like to try some of the newer roms. I haven't flashed my phone since 2013...LOL

Okay, got my charging port fixed, used a USB 2.0 port and a different cable and can now connect to phone in windows explorer and Odin worked great to flash CF Autoroot... Thanks

Nope, booting into TWRP will have the phone show up as a drive, not as a media device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] anmac1789@gmail.com:
hmmm, but I thought files as well (besides pics and videos) can be imported when patched with TWRP ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
What do you mean by "imported"? All files and folders I see with the phone in TWRP can be copied to my computer and files from my computer can be copied to my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] anmac1789@gmail.com:
when you copy it from PC to phone, does the date+time change as well ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
I don't know, but it probably does. I can't say for sure as I am not close to my computer. I haven't really paid much attention to it.

Hi all,

First time Samsung Galaxy owner. Sorry I have a stupid question. As per the Root instructions:

- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!

- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file

- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)

- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5

- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)

- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer

- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked

- Click the Start button

- Wait for Android to boot

- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

I don't see when I should first connect my phone to computer. Can anyone please clarify? Thank you in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
His saying that encase you had it connected in the first place. The first time you connect it to your computer is when you "Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5" from odin and your phone is in download mode.."- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button,"

should the file be a .tar file? or like this -- - Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5

edit- also should i have developer options turned on and usb debugging checked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] scitech09:
To the folks having trouble with this, you need to have the appropriate drivers installed on your Windows machine. The best way to do this is to install Samsung Kies and get your device connected to Kies. Then shut down Kies. Disconnect your phone from the computer. Make sure you have debugging on (go to settings, then System -> Developer Options, and click USB debugging). Now put your phone in download mode, open Odin, select the tar file using the PDA button, connect your phone to the USB cable, wait for the COM label to show up in Odin (highlighted in yellow on my machine), and click start. Should go quickly and after your phone reboots, your good to go. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] annewbie:
I did turned on USB debugging but no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] scitech09:
Can you connect your phone to Kies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] annewbie:
Still waiting for Kies to be install on my PC but it seems like I am having trouble with that. It keeps saying "Installing HotFix". Won't proceed any further.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] scitech09:
It will stay at Hotfix for a long while, but give it time. I almost cancelled it too.

I've rooted 4 other phones and I'm no noob but I certainly feel like one now. I've done a lot of reading and research and I just can't get this. I've followed the directions.

After the screen below, when it reboots I should have root, right? Does anything in the pic look off to those that have been successful? It seems like SuperSU is just not taking. I've downloaded the file twice as to rule out a bad download. Everything seems to go smooth in Odin.

Edit: also tried this method http://www.android.gs/root-att-galaxy-note-2/ to no avail.

Edit2: Got it, just download SuperSU from the market; overlooked the obvious. Hope that helps someone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
@CF - donation made for your efforts with the "keep it simple root method"! this is the easiest method to root and then unroot that i've used. :) right after i rooted my device, i installed GooManager, flashed TWRP and began customizing my device. however, after a couple of days with my GN2, i've determined i'm not the targeted user for this device, so i unrooted and returned to att. this is a solid device, super fast, fluid with unlimited potential! In my case, I simply prefer the size of my S3.

my unroot, return to stock rom, stock recovery and Normal device status are listed below. AS ALWAYS I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS FUBAR's YOUR DEVICE. i'm simply posting for informational purposes only. (not sure all of the steps below are are necessary):

Reboot to TWRP recovery to complete a factory reset

Used CF's method to re-root and

reinstall

the stock recovery (e.g., method listed in 2nd Post of this thread).

Purchased & installed Triangle-Away from market

Used Triangle-Away to reset the counter

After reboot (from step 4) uninstalled Triangle Away

Via SuperSU, used the Full Unroot option to unroot. Checked GN2 Device Status and it said Modified

Booted into stock recovery performed a factory reset.

After device rebooted, checked Device Status again and it said Normal

Returned the device to att corp store; att checked and confirmed device status (as Normal) and issued a refund.

CF, thanks again for your efforts!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] diehardbattery:
Sorry if this is already answered, but are there any ramifications from rooting? Couple things I've heard are that OTA updates are no longer automatically done and some issues with the pen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
i'm no authority on this, but, it's been my experience that you have to be pure stock for OTA updates. if that's required, then CF's current method plus a few manual actions (like i listed in the post above yours) could be used to restore a pure stock configuration. when i had my Note 2, i had no issues with root and the s-pen. hope this is helpful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chriskwarren:
Rooted and then paid for the SU pro upgrade as a thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rev1775:
Thanks for the instructions on unrooting and counter rest.

I've a quick question, after doing the factory reset i shut down and restarted using the home,power, volume down to get to download mode. I still see a yellow triangle on that screen. I take it the reset didn't work or am I missing another step in here. I didn't want to hit the volume up button at that point since it doesn't let me simply reboot after that with the do not shut target off comment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Can Chainfire confirm if OTA updates will work with this rooting method? I'd rather hear from the expert as opposed to hearsay.

Thanks!
