I own a note n7100. But havent had any trouble with Knox. Have installed couple of custom roms now. Only annoying thing i found is in my CWM menu where when i exit it says "Possibly Root Permission Lost. Fix?" . Still havent found a way to fix this.

If you install supersupro and activate pro it in the supersu menu survival will be available which keeps your rom rooted after an update.

banging my head.. :((

Did you ever get your SCH-I605 rooted? I have been reading for months and it is making my head spin.. I cant seem to catch the exact mixture of what it appears I need.. I have never had a unrooted phone so long..:(((
[Galaxy Note II General] watchdog-prime:
I'd never even heard of Knox until I tried rooting my SGH I317 yesterday, I kept getting that same message about blocking unauthorized apps. I was about to search for ways to remove or disable Knox when I reset the phone and saw that SuperSU was updating itself after which I was able to finally open the app (Knox wouldn't let the app open). So for those who are having trouble with Knox, you apparently only have to find SuperSU in the play store and update it, open it and it will disable Knox for you, at least that's what happened for me.

Probably could have done this yesterday had I bothered to read through more of this thread.
[Galaxy Note II General] MottiBembaron:
Some help needed

I found it rather hard to understand. For example:

1. Where do you download those files? On your PC or the phone?

2. DO they have to be on a specific folder for the phone to find them?

3. If files to be downloaded on a phone, how to unrar?

4. What do you install afterwards? A clean Android operating system? what version? Where to find it?

5. Is this rooting instructions includes the operating system? what version is being installed?

Remember for many (including me) rooting is a very strange concept. For example, I always thought that rooting is like formating my computer and getting rid of all the bloatware Compaq installed on it. Than I can do a clean install of just about any operating system I want.

However, it seems that it is not exactly that when Rooting (I may be wrong). After rooting can I install KitKat in its pure Vanilla version (same as on the Nexus machines)?

If not, how does it work? Is the ROM an operating system that replaces the Android OS? Are they always based on the latest Android version? I am asking because I read that the most popular ROM is based on Android version 4.2. Again, I may be wrong.

A beginner manual HAS to cover those things so we know exactly what we are getting after rooting the machine.

Cheers,

Motti

Problems and Odin3 v3.07 log file

Tried rooting my AT&T note 2 (SGH-I317) running Android 4.1.1 several times

First time SuperSU was installed but didn't seem to work. Also Root Checker indicated device does not have proper root access.

On subsequent tries SuperSU app was removed and what seemed to be happening (see log file below) was that a recovery.img was being written instead of the phone being rooted.

I have read that the boot loader needs to be unlocked before the phone can be rooted. Does this process do this or do I need to find a way to first unlock the boot loader.

I guess what I am getting at is how I troubleshoot and identify what is happening. I think the Odin log file would be a good start.

Here it is:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

Rooting not successful

hi,

I am new to rooting.

I tried rooting by odin3 v3.07. I selected the GTn7100 md5 file and completed the rooting.

I got pass message in odin.

I checked the root status by root checker..it not rooted.

what I should next?

can any one tell me the steps to be followed now..should I go for rooting again.

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Note II General] Zubair1024:
I would not recommend you doing that... It's always better to go with chainfire's method
[Galaxy Note II General] MarHazK:
wrong. there's one way:

1. use odin + cf auto root

2. after pre-root (fail to root), update the SuperSu

3. after updated the SuperSu with PlayStore, (v2.0+), disable the KNOX

4. reboot

5. you are now ROOT. (Can double check with Root Checker)

6. everything that mentioned above still works fine. ROM also untouched after rooted, and I still have my warranty back lol
[Galaxy Note II General] sch1z0p1tz:

Did I brick my phone ?

So I successfully rooted my phone a while ago and unrooted it yesterday following the instructions posted here because I wanted to update to the newest firmware. I checked after I unrooted and verified it was successful. Now I accepted the OTA update and since yesterday my Note 2 has been on a reboot loop. It seems like every 20 - 30 min it will reboot and stay on the Samsung logo screen with the blue LED light.

Is there a fix for this or did I just brick my phone by accident ? Or maybe I just have to hard reset and lose anything that is not saved ? :crying:

EDIT :

I have the SPH-L900 version

If i try to enter the recovery screen by holding volume up, home and power, it goes to the Android guy with the blue thing in his belly like it's trying to update again and then it does the constant reboot thing.

If I try to enter the volume down, home and power button menu, I get the Warning screen
[Galaxy Note II General] naloboy:
Update

So after extensive searching I found a video on YouTube that directed me to a site Rwilco12.com. I followed the instructions and my phone is back. You basically download a restore file and use Odin to put it back to stock. It's still 4.3 so I am gonna wait for the OTA to come through again and see what happens this time. Not sure if the site the video referenced is trusted or if I may have just downloaded spyware on to my phone but I will try and test that. According to About device found under settings, Device status is official and all my apps and pics and everything else is still there and unaffected :good:

[Galaxy Note II General] eddie3912:
Flash via ODIN?

Have you tried flashing the latest update using Odin via PC instead of the OTA? Keep in mind if you flash via PC then your recovery will also revert to stock and you will need to root your device according to the firmware you are running. You can find the list of firmwares on sammmobile and download the appropriate one.

N7105 Post-ROOT battery drain question

Hi XDA

I recently rooted a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7105) using 'the recommended method'.

All functionality and stored data remained intact.... SUPERSU does not work - downloaded, and paid for the current version, but still get a message dialogue: "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped". I have subsequently uninstalled SuperSU.

The issue that I have is that the battery now drains in less than one day despite no change in my usage profile.

The device is also hot (hotter than pre-root) most of the time.

Device Battery display tells me Android is using the most battery.

(Today the phone is off the charger and a 100% charge has dropped to 66% charge in 3.75 hours with only one three minute call, three SMSs, and about 5 minutes of web browsing using Firefox. Battery display says Android has used 75% of the power consumed...)

Does anyone have any advice or directions to solve this?

Thanks

Problem solved...... batter drain fixed, heating up ceased.

It appeared to be caused by the status of SuperSU....

I found a fix - download the APK and install from that.... reboot and all is good.

Whilst it did not appear to be running it must have been exceedingly busy looping or like and using all the devices resources constantly.

Rooting the Note 2: Newbie Questions

Hi - new member here. Great forum.

Question about rooting a Verizon Note 2, or later on, the Nexus 6.

I'm wondering what the net effect is, when you root a phone that was previously loaded up with bloatware.

When I root it, will I lose forever, or be able to reload and use:

Verizon's WiFi Hotspot?

VZ Navigator?

Verizon Messaging+?

Verizon Data Usage App?

Verizon FIOS App (lets you watch TV on your smartphone)?

Verizon Visual Voicemail?

OK...I'm no VZ fanboy, but this is stuff I use every day. Will rooting make zero difference? Or will it all...disappear?

Thanks for your help.
