Just so I'm clear...being I'm new at this.... a few questions ....

After i use odin to root will all my setings still be there, I won't have to reconfigure my phone to use verizon will I?

Will anything be lost?

If I decide to I want to get an OTA update can I use ODIN and go back to stock?

Will verizon be able to tell if rooted?

Having worked with linux and some android for 20 years I just find this facinating!

As far as I understand it You're still stock with root access, you still locked and haven't flashed anything custom. Your device status is still normal and official. You can still get updates from Samsung/VZW OTA when they push any in the future

Rooting via Odin won't wipe any of your apps or device settings if you only wipe cache after Odin resets successfully. If you get errors then you'll need go back to stock recovery to wipe data/factory reset, then you'll have to reconfigure your device from scratch.

Is there any difference between the OEM cable and any other micro USB cable? It would be convenient if I could use any USB cable in the future!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Some transfer data and some don't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toprunner2786:
Ok, so if the data cable seems to be working fine to mount the SD card within windows or Odin can see it when in download mode, the cable "should" be good to Odin/flash a new image?

Call Recording?

I followed the instructions to the letter, and everything works flawlessly. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. This device deserves only the best to be working on it, and that's exactly what it's getting.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get call recording working on this? I really need it due to some legal ex-wife issues. (Yes, I have checked local laws, and I am within my rights to record.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronaldheld:
Why are some people having intermittent problems? Is it just due to not wiping cache and data, or is there another cause? I am thinking to hd off rooting for a while longer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mzimand:
Do you have usb debugging checked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] desantim:
Also, what devices have you had before? (What drivers might be conflicting rather) What version of Windows, are you using the ODIN supplied in OP? Lots of factors that might help us help you. Mine went off without a hitch. Possibly redownload the 7z file, unzip it. Check the MD5, one that has been checked to work is MD5 (root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5) = 34ab5230c53348bf54448fa8af858ff7.

Make sure all of that is working correctly.

okay i just bought this phone after my thunderbolt crapped out on me. 100 bucks for a refurbed bolt or a couple hundred more for a firebreather. so yeah the choice wasnt hard. so are there any dangers of bricking with this method and are there really any advantages yet? we dont have working tehter for jelly bean yet do we? and you can disable and hide the bloatware (which is way less than what came on the bolt.) so what are the advantages?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Unless of course you buy glowing or elwire microusb cables....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boboy9186:
There is always the chance of bricking when you flash anything. The universe could decide your house no longer needs power in the middle of the flash and you could be in a world of hurt because of it. Not likely though. Many (including myself) have flashed using this method with outstanding success. And as for advantages. Root is what I needed to get wifi tethering to work, remove bloatware, and run many purchased apps that required root.

I posted this earlier but will post it again for how I achieved wifi tethering:

"Just got flawless wifi tether running with TrevE's modded wifitether.

Can be found in his original post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988735

I used the WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012_driverReload2

My settings:

Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Setup Method: Netd-NDC (master)

Send Netd Max Client Cmd - Checked

Wifi-driver reload 2 - Checked

Routing fix - Checked"

I rooted successfully (thanks for the instructions!), but have a question. After root I set the LCD density to 260 rebooted, and am working OK except for market apps. Pretty much no apps are available to me anymore in the Play store (Root Explorer for example). It doesn't even show up when I search. And many apps just say not compatible with my device.

Is there any way around this or did I do something incorrectly?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
thanks gonna give it a shot. since theres only around 465 less steps than the original adb push method for the bolt i did, should be a piece of cake. ..... so the signal bar is definitely gone right? and i saw something about the smoothness...is it even enough to make a big deal about?

It might be the screen protection kicking in. There is a overheat protection for te screen... Max brightness for extended periods can cause it to kick in.

260 isn't a standard DPI, so applications won't show up properly in the app store. Either try 240, 160, 241 or use LCD Density Pro (or other method) to fool Play store into you're on 320/240/160.

Cool so this isnt the one thats been posted for a while then rite ? I just wanna be clear
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
So two things today, first I thought I would email Samsung and inquire about the source code and how the one they have available says ICS instead of JB and where is the 4.1.1 JB for the Verizon GN2. Not expecting anything to come of it, but hey it can't hurt to ask.

Second thing happened today was a story about www.samsung-updates (no affiliation with Samsung) posted the latest firmware updates for GN2 LTE JB 4.1.2 is now available for the GT-N7100 & GT-N7105 which of course doesn't help us but does pose an interesting question. Weill it be long before Verizon pushes the OTA (breaks root) and how long before we actually see that firmware released? Does Samsung have a legal amount of time they can sit on the firmware or are they obligated to release it asap due to it being open-sourced and GPL stuff?

No apps2sd

Since we don't have apps to sd support with the phone's jacked up file system..

Talking to Samsung, the VZW phone does not have the native app that the other Note 2 phones do which is within app manager, the ability to move apps to SD if they are over 1gb. I have three games that I can move to sd to get off my phone. My 16gb is full and cannot hold the same apps on my 2.5 year old Droid X and 8gb internal. What a disappointment. This is a downgrade even after doubling the memory!

Can the ability to move apps be taken from another phone (international or perhaps other US varriant) and installed/adapted to this phone?

If your needing to move game data, this is what you need(says for S3, but works on both): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889550

You'll just set the default source/data path to mnt/extSdCard. Be sure to read through some of the last pages as there are some good suggestions, such as which version to use (I think 0.2.0o is the best one) and go under preferences and select "bind on boot", "use alternate db" and disable "handle usb connections". I think there was one more...can't remember.

Zombie, you will only lose S-Pen functionality with AOSP ROMS as mentioned in the thread where I said this ;P Sorry if you misinterpreted it, but that means Beans custom ROMs will have S-Pen included because he uses modded TW in his ROMs. CM10 or other AOSP custom ROMs will not include S-Pen functionality (most likely).

Is there any problem with replacing the SuperSU app with another su app like Superuser (ChainsDD)? You are limited when trying to do scripting through adb because it does not give root permissions (you need to by pro). Superuser allows this with the free version.
