Flash the bell one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
Beside the counter will not be tripped, Any differences between this root and Chanfire CF root?

Edit:Sorry for my stupid question Root is root :)

I couldn't extract the ATT version either with 7zip or Winrar. Downloaded twice. The error said "the archive is corrupt"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
I am currently on Jedi rom and my binary counter says 1. If I flash this rom will I be able to reset counter to 0 with Triangle away?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
If you leave stock recovery, yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
Can you check the ATT files? I couldn't extract the ATT version either with 7zip or Winrar. Downloaded twice. The error said "the archive is corrupt"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
did you download from dev-host or androidfilehost? it has 113 downloads and people who have used it but I'll check them out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
just dl from Dec-host and works fine. androidfilehost files have problems?

Dammm all my apps and setting are gone. I thought i read somewhere in page 4 or 5 this thread said it still remaining. Grrrrr
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukic:
I downloaded from 1st link and use winrar to extract it. Also flashed it successfully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] robjbw:
I flashed this successfully as per instructions and phone was wiped when all was done. Read that it would not wipe when flashed. Had to reinstall and configure all my apps again. Was it supposed to do this? Im using AT&T Note 2. Downloaded the AT&T version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
It's a pain in the nuts to set up more than 100+ app and settings... from stock again. I should use CF root instead.

OP should make a note from the 1st post said "It wipes everything" :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
it should not have wiped and I had no other reports until now. OP would obviously have stated that in first post. Two new images will be up that don't wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] robjbw:
I had no prob setting everything up again since I had my apps/data previously backed up with Titanium Backup (my old one x). I have root now and phone shows normal. Thank you for this method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
ok well both links are new now. redone. should NOT wipe or there is voodoo in there that I don't know about yet.

Multi window

Hello mrRobinson, I've recently flashed the rogers one and it works perfectly. One thing that i was really looking forward to get is the multi window feature. i found the jedi port but i found that it looks too complicated to flash and I'm not sure how it works. Is there a simple way of getting this feature that is easier than that guide or would you be able to inject it in the Rom like you did with the root, that would be extremely helpful.

anyways thanks for your guide and your amazing work. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] annewbie:
I flashed this TWICE and it never wipes my phone. However, my device status still shown as "modified".

Would a factory reset help? Or should I unroot my phone via Supersu, then flash this again? Thank you in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevink15:
Been holding off on rooting until I saw this. Thanks, cant wait to get home and try it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
i think as long as you are rooted you can't get away from the modified status. but if you flash back to stock it'll go away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
How you guys make it not wipe, all my apps and settings (setup, data...) are gone. It becomes like just open brand new in box.:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
do you have re-partition checked in odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
No the default unchecked. Only auto reboot and F reset time checked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Just wondering... So from what I gather, OTA won't work for those rooting with CF-Auto-Root because it trips the counter. But yellow triangle app will reset that counter back to 0. So then the device status will be recognized as "normal". So then OTA should work right? Also, CF-Auto-Root doesn't modify the stock recovery at all from what I understand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rexamillion59:
im trying

im using 64 bit win 7 ,I cant get root seams im missing adb driver. IN ODIN my phone dont show up in ADB mode,BUT booted up and runing it shows up. any help please
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
counter being 0 and device status being official/modified are two different things. you can reset counter to zero and still have the status say custom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
did you install the drivers from samsung's site i linked to in the OP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rexamillion59:
yes sir i did i have reinstalled them a couple times now and still the same not seen in odin ADB mode..BACK TO THE READING ROM I GO

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

ok i did it im rooted now thanks .can i simply install twrp and flash clean rom now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Please excuse my newb question here, but I'm planning on flashing this tonight... so question before I do:

As I am completely stock right now with Rogers (unrooted), I can't do a Nandroid backup prior to flashing correct? But it shouldn't matter because I'm really only flashing the same stock ROM with root injection. No data gets wiped. The only difference after flashing is having root.

Correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] robjbw:
It should not wipe your data/settings/app, but it did on mine. Had to reinstall, set everything up again. But, I'm okay with that cause in the end I have root and counter was not tripped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] balpreetsaini:
I use to have a gs3 that was Bell and flashed the Rogers rooted software causeI was using it on Rogers and it was like having a stock Rogers phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gixxerfreak:
Sorry for being a noob (this is my first Android phone) but I have a few questions I want to clear up before I start this rooting process.

1) So after rooting my phone with this method my device status will be "modified", and if I want to unroot I just open Supersu and remove root so my device status will be "normal" again? Also, what's the disadvantage of having a "modified" status?

2) I believe another way to unroot is to flash the phone with the stock recovery. Where can I find the stock recovery? Will this wipe all data on my phone?

3) If there are any OTA updates from Rogers, my phone should be able to update but it will be unrooted, unless I use something like the OTA Rootkeeper? If I didn't use OTA Rootkeeper after an OTA update, how can I root my phone again?

4) Is there a possibility that after rooting, my phone will NOT be able to get OTA updates?

Again, sorry for the noob questions. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
So im trying to get the Multi window feature so i found jedi x3.2 and i installed rom manager then clockworkmod recovery but for some reason it never goes to CWM it always goes to android system recovery I'm trying to backup my rom wipe everything fix persmissions so i can flash the jedi any ideas how to do this or what im doing wrong/ should be doing? thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k5mitch:
Worked perfectly thank you very much...:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
1) Most likely it will say modified but it may also say normal since this is pure stock but with root injected (others who have installed this can answer you). Correct on unroot. Since you should be able to receive ota updates (main purpose of this), there's none except for returns or warranty purposes (which you can run triangle away and unroot).

2) No, flashing stock recovery will not unroot, and this comes with stock recovery as well. Replacing recovery won't wipe data in general, but this root injected file may, it doesn't suppose to but if you have read thread then you'll know it did for some.

3) I believe correct. You can use cf-auto root to root again. You can find it in original devs section.

4) Possible but you should be able to, as that's the point of op work of root injected stock, but others can confirm hopefully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gixxerfreak:
Thanks a lot for the response, it was clear and precise. I have read the thread but it was a bit confusing as some users have one outcome while others have different ones. Anyhow, I will try to root the device and post my results as soon as I have them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Yeah no problem, I am quite new to all of this as well and a lot members here have been very helpful.

Yeah let us know how it goes flashing these root injected files, I would backup any important files before hand though (if you have any).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gixxerfreak:
I used Kies to backup my files. Should I use Titanium backup after I rooted my phone? I see a lot of people are using this app for their backups.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Yes, quite a few helpful apps could be used once rooted including titanium backup app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
And adaway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lalitgr8:
mrRobinson

Thanks a lot for your contribution on rooting. I have been able to successfully root my Telus Note 2 and was able to transfer 20GB game data to 64GB sd card and seems like my phone is breathing now. Also made the titanium backup in my external sd card too. installed Adfree android app too. Overall I am very happy.

My only concern is device setting. in about device setting , ERI version status is now not avaliable. just wondering if any one can confirm what was the status of ERI Version before rooting. ERI is extended roaming indicator and help with indicating the roaming status. I am just concerned that I will not have issue with roaming. all other setting seems ok. IMEI # is there too and phone does connect to 4G/LTE. etc. Another issue is leaning hub which stopped working, which is ok as I do not use this feature and as per other fourms this app stops working after rooting due to copyright issue.

Pls provide feedback if any other is facing the same issue with ERI version. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
I'm pure stock, unrooted. ERI also shows unavailable for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gixxerfreak:
I'm also pure stock, unrooted on Rogers, ERI Version = Not available

mr robinson thank you for this rom one question,what roms can i run on this root and what ones i cant,sorry to sound noob,but i just came from atrix 4g rooted and unlocked ,is the note 2 bootloader allready unlocked,thanks sorry if its a dumb question
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Did it! And nothing got wiped! Woohoo! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoso28:
No lock like Motorola phones.. I had the atrix & samsung is much easier. Just root, recovery, nandroid & flash. Any rom in this forum should be fine if you have an at&t note 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Correct. Only the Verizon note 2 has locked boot loader. Think its also carrier decision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
I just checked and it says I'm modified. I followed the instructions to the T. What gives? :(

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

Tried to use Triangle Away. It booted up and I noticed that the Rogers one I downloaded is BMC. I think that's the problem.

Wasn't the download links updated with the correct ones?

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

I flashed "root66_RWC_I317MVLALJ2_csc.7z" from mirror 1 link and it's BMC. I'm showing modified status and when trying to use Triangle Away, it shows BMC. Was that link never updated? Gonna try mirror 2....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rexamillion59:
thanks my flashing finger was waiting to here this flashing now buy the way flashed att modem and got crazy hot speeds are there any tweeks for modems to inhance signail mine will go to edge and and not go back to 4g unless i reboot and than crazy fast for a while
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Looks like I had to manually set the CSC to Rogers which ended up wiping my phone. :(

A ton of work now to get things back how I want it, but at least it's showing Normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
that "_csc" version was pulled a long time ago. if you would have downloaded the current mirror 1 or 2 it wouldn't be the file that had "csc" in the name. But you changed csc so you are good now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
I had downloaded from mirror 1 just last night and it was defaulted to BMC instead of RWC. Perhaps it was missed?

But either way I'm good to go now. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
UPDATE:

Today it's showing modified again.

Using Triangle Away, it shows:

SGH-1317M_NA_BMC

Can someone confirm the 2 mirrors in the original post for Rogers are indeed RWC and not BMC?

Going to try it again tonight.

Looks like only Mirror "2" had been updated. Upload date on Mirror 1 is before Mr. Robinson had made the change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
Mine said BMC when i flashed the roger one not sure which mirror and even when I updated to jedi it's still saying BMC don't know why but the network works tho . shouldn't flashing new Rom change that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] C.Flat:
Welp. I'm retarded Accidently downloaded the ATT version and soft bricked my phone

Downloaded the Bell version and revived it:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Someone's gotta help me out here.

I just reflashed again with the Rogers mirror 2 link and again it's showing SGH-I317M_NA_BMC and device status as Modified.

Ok so this is what I think is happening with the Rogers one...

The device has become branded with BMC even though the designated CSC is set to RWC (Rogers). So because of that, it's designated as modified. So is there a true RWC rom somewhere? I understand These Canadian ROMs have all the CSC of different carriers built-in, but I think there's a stock Rogers branded RWC rom yet.

I've tried Triangle Away and it will not reset the counter from 1 to 0 either.

Can someone on Rogers with a rooted device and status "normal" please boot up in Triangle Away and tell me what your device id says? This will confirm it.

Or is there a pure RWC csc file I can somehow flash to replace the core BMC? Or something like that?

Look at my attached screen when I run Triangle Away.

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
Im waiting for an answer to that as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Check the actual download page. Sometimes triangle away will always say one.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] V@no:
It wiped my phone too. ATT version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuclearrage:
I am concerned about this , is there a reason behind this voodoo?? I would love to root this way as I intend to keep everything stock , but would hate to loose all my apps and settings .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gixxerfreak:
Whoa, sounds like I better hold off on rooting my device since I have the Rogers version and both mirrors on the OP seem to be BMC but not RWC.

Someone please confirm if this is indeed true. Thanks.

I flashed the Rogers mirror 2 link and it's showing SGH-I317M_NA_BMC after that i installed twrp and flashed jedi but its still showing NA_BMC in the download recovery. is that normal?

I tried to manually correct Csc says unknown application then i installed twrp flashed jedi now my phone says modified and 1 counts i understand why but the thing its still showing BMC in download recovery Not RWC no signal issues tho. so how do i fix this issue like do i have to go back to rogers stock or the root injected one? and is by odin or can i use twrp?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
I'll take a look at these again. Seems to me the stock images themselves are set wrong. Nothing I did but maybe I can fix something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slaydog:
Worked great on ATT rom. Found everything just the way I left it, except rooted of course!

please do and let us know. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Yea if i go to sammobile and grab the file labeled RWC which is Rogers, the default csc in that is still BMC. I tried fixing before with that csc version i created but i see where what i tried wouldn't have worked. trying a different way now. Wish they would just post correct stock images.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
yea but what is your CSC set to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigtomcat:
hey guys

OK the easiest way to do this if you are coming from a rom with a recovery is to first go into the recovery then wipe /factory reset dalvic cashe then shut off the phone then go into download mode (hold home,power.down then up once you see the screen saying up) next open oden make sure you have your rogers stock file the great guy here posted .. then make sure it is unzipped i just keep all the files on the desk top in a folder ..

sorry then once odin is open plug the phone into the computer odin will say added...on the left box

choose PDA then select your file rwc i used for Rogers then wait until it checks the file out MD5 once it is done it will say finished successfully click start and wait once it is done and reboots will take a while

do the code you could see bell stuff open the dialer and dial *#272*IMEI# the IMIE is on your box once that is done it will give you a list if your rogers choose RWC and install it will reboot and load all your rogers stock firmware will take a while to do that and it will be exactly like when you got it but rooted ..

hope this helps some i see are having problems

thanks for all the files here bud great work and thanks for making it easier

by the way if you flashed the stock here and you came from a custom rom and it starts but thern sits on samsung forever and will not start up you will have to use the same odin and flash cwn tar

do this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34039100#post34039100

it will give you cwn take a while to come up you can use the same odin as here flash this on same way pda same settings open cwn factory reset etc then do the same as above again sometimes you need to reset and factory to clean it up before doing the stock here .. hope this helps

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Look for your device id. It'll say SGH-I317M_NA_***. BMC or RWC. You can use Elixir and view system info for device id.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] GNoteLover:
Well, I looked all over to help you out. I found that CSC I said before by entering in a phone code *#somethingsomething. I downloaded elixir 1 and 2 looking for the device id under system info (there isn't a menu/list option named exactly that) and a;; I found was an Id which is JRO03C. I'm not looking anymore. Bottom line is it works on Rogers, my phone is connected to the Rogers network, it didn't wipe, and everything works fine. I can't find anywhere that says BMC or RWC and I don't care, why does it matter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
It matters because there is now no way of going back to normal status. At all. Hence my initial reason for using this method.

Also, Triangle Away will show you the NA_BMC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] GNoteLover:
You can reverse it back to normal status.

However that is dangerous advice to use triangle away as using triangle away on this ROM will brick the device, since it is not an N7105....there is no way I'm using that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Triangle Away to show you that the device id is NA_BMC. Only run apps as they are compatible with your system. I'm running ported Jedi rom personally.

If your device is originally Rogers, you can't because of NA_BMC designation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] EviLLoNe:
So i just rooted my Rogers note-ii using this method. Worked like a charm - thx for all the hard work.

Just a question , I'm assuming along with the 'root' functionality i am now also 'safe' from this since I'm rooted now?
