Hello XDA,

I know there are lot of guides on how to root the Galaxy Note 2,but unfortunately I have not seen a guide that is clear enough to beginners that know nothing about Android. So, after hard work I have done a guide on how to root the Samsung Galaxy note 2 and put it in your hands.

Note:I Have Also Made A Picture Full Guide So, IF This Guide Wasn't Clear For You, You Can Go

HERE

Introduction:

Today, I will guide you on how you can root your Samsung Galaxy Note 2.This method is the most easiest, safest and the fastest method up to date. To start off, the method will take little time but it’s more guaranteed to work on any Galaxy Note 2.

Disclaimer:

I’m not responsible if something went wrong on your phone(Usually nothing goes wrong), you’re doing this on your own responsibility. Rooting your phone will void your warranty so don’t root your device unless you know what you are doing.To know more about rooting check What is rooting and it’s top 10 benefits.

Method: Rooting using Odin: [Recommended]

This method works for almost all Galaxy Note 2s,and it will only root and install busybox.

All credits go for Chainfire for making the CF-autoroot make a look at the Original Thread

Requirements:

1-Download these files:

1-CF-Autoroot Depending on your model number which could be found in Setting-> About Phone:

A) For N7100 Model go HERE.

B) For N7105 Model go HERE.

C) SHV-E250K Model go HERE.

D) SHV-E250L Model go HERE.

E) SHV-E250S Model go HERE.

F) SPH-L900 Model go HERE

G) SGH-I317 Model go HERE

H) SGH-I317M Model go HERE

I) SGH-T889 (T-Mobile version) Model go HERE

IF you didn't see your model number above don't try this method because it might brick your phone.

2-Odin 3.07 From HERE.

3-Samsung USB Drivers from HERE and then install them.

4-Make sure to

fully backup your device

.Check our post on How to Backup Every Android Mobile Phone.

5-Make sure to

backup your EFS file

immediately after rooting your device.

Step1:Extract the CF-Autoroot until you got a file with .tar.md5

Step2: Extract odin307.zip then run Odin3 v3.07 as administrator.

Step3:Shutdown your Note 2 completely. Then, hold down the volume down button+ the home button then press the power button for 5 seconds, after you will see a warning screen just press volume up.

Step4: Now click on “PDA” and choose the .tar.md5 file we downloaded earlier. Then connect the USB cable to your computer then to your Galaxy Note 2. Now Click on “Start”.

Step5: Once it successfully finishes you will see “Pass” in the above table of the “ID:COM”

* In Some cases Knox disabled SuperSu to work probably.So,if SuperSU wasn’t working probably for you.Download the latest version of SuperSU from the Play Store.Then on launch it will ask you to disable Knox and you should accept.Hope that solve it.

Conclusion:

That's it! Easily rooted. to unroot your device and reclaim your warranty visit How to Un-root Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Bump.

I think ketan's guide is very good enough. It's just a bit difficult to find.
[Galaxy Note II General] kalo0osh97:
Well maybe for you but trust me a lot of people find ketan's guide is hard....am talking about the beginners that doesn't know what CWM is..!!

Am I right?
[Galaxy Note II General] xmob101:
Thank you for this. I'll attempt to root my Note 2 in a couple of weeks so this is certainly appreciated.

Is this the latest method to root? All I want to do is gain root so I can use apps like titanium backup, ad away, cerburus and maybe tasker.

Can I just gain root and use all of those while sticking to the stock rom? And also can i still get the phone repaired under warranty should it develop any faults later on?
[Galaxy Note II General] swiftrok:
Very straight forward instructions, thanks!

One question, which method is preferred? I see Method 2 is 'Recommended' -- why is it then not Method 1?

Is there any downside to either method? From a stock rom, which would you say is the 'slickest' method?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note II General] kalo0osh97:
Hopefully these methods are the latest.And yes you can root and stick to the stock rom,for that I advise you to follow method 2.And when you root your galaxy note 2 your warrenty is void so you should before going to Samsung Service Center to uninstall all root apps and unroot your device.

Method 2 of course because it will only root your phone and keep it as stock as possible (CF-Autoroot)unlike method 2 that will either flash a pre-rooted sytem image or root the phone using CWM (custom recovery)which is for some people is better since they want to root and install ClockWorkMod recovery.But,I think method 2 is recommended because it has less disadvantages and keeps your phone as stock as possible.

I think dr. Ketan's guide is more than enough for all Galaxy users !!

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Don't feel bad and not to disappoint you but when you providing guide its your duty to explain detail about pros and cons of each method as well prepare yourself to provide correct and detail information as much as

just unrooting won't revoke warranty you need to do more

it won't flash kernel

you can attach image here too, why XDA members needs to go to third party web site to see just image

Hope you can correct earliest in favor of newbies
[Galaxy Note II General] UtkarshGupta:
As I said ketan's guide is enough.

And ketan it would be not wrong to say that your guide is difficult to be found by people.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
yeah utkarsh but that is already sticky

but after your y'day comment i have already edited title, as well one my sticky thread in general also edited and added link to main guide to root N7100.

My phone is SG Note II i want to know from the begning of the Process so can you explain me for detail with tools used for boot and what are te step for it >

i also want to ask after booting the phone dose the imei num change? or still become same
[Galaxy Note II General] Demigod008:
imei number remains the same y wud it change but ya after rooting backup efs as there are chances of loosing it

you can find it in dr ketans thread about rooting
[Galaxy Note II General] wiijordends:
It's just a suggesion.

I thing you should add the FRAMAROOT app to your guide.

In my opinion it's the most easiest and quickest way to ROOT your device.

Just open the framaroot app choose to root, choose one of the 3 names, reboot your device and you are rooted!
[Galaxy Note II General] krishfuria13:
Yes, you can unroot but your warranty will be void as u root! There is an app called triangle away which can help though! You will not loose any data while rooting! But for safety reasons backup is referred! :)

Suggestions needed

i have just upgraded my device from android 4.1.1 to 4.3.

I dont want to install any ROM at this time.but want to root. is this process applicable for 4.3?

my device details are as follows:

Base band version: N7100DDEMJ9

Kernel version: 3.0.31-2099172

[Galaxy Note II General] naselKiDD:
Do Not Upgrade. I did it. Broke my root. Then I managed to brick my phone trying to downgrade. Of course with the awesome threads on xda I was able to fix it, it isn't worth the hassel at this point. There's probably a 4.3 custom rom you could flash..

[Galaxy Note II General] onedirection:
actually, there is another easier way to root the device. Download and flash via odin the TWRP / CWM, download and put the root.zip to the phone's file, and flash root.zip via recovery... as simple as that

Yes, its applicable, but just for reminding - you're playing with your warranty. Make sure to root after your warranty has voided / 1 year-of-term has reached.

Anyone try to root n7100 by kingoapp ?

I saw on YT that the root can be done in note 3 without tripping KNOX.

Hello guys, I just bought a Samsung GNII and the person from whom I got it from, told me it was rooted. But when I run the app SuperSU it tells me that I have to "If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root." But my phone does have the 4.3 version but my Baseband version is I317UCAMH3 and under "Status" for device status it says "Custom". Can anyone please inform me on how to root my phone. Thank you and if this is not the right place please reroute me to correct location.

AT&T Note2 with V4.3 installed. Used Odin v1.85 and everything appears to have gone correctly except that after the phone restarted there was a message on the phone that an attempt to access a secure area was blocked. Should I worry about that? Device status says "Custom".
[Galaxy Note II General] canneil2:
Thanks alot!! Saved me tons of time!
[Galaxy Note II General] Artstar:
That's Samsung's Knox (security feature) which has noticed that something has attempted to gain superuser access. You should be able to kill that off by either running SuperSU - which will spot Knox and ask you if it should disable it - or otherwise by running SafeRoot.

Personally, I ran into all sorts of trouble whenever rebooting my phone. I would successfully root it with SafeRoot but then on reboot, I lost the SU binary for reasons unknown. I thought it was something to do with TriangleAway still having permission to reset counters so I uninstalled it because I no longer care about the warranty rubbish, especially if I can use trade law to enforce a warranty claim in what is the last year of two in my warranty period.

It was fine upon reboot until I attempted to run SuperSU again and this time it asked to update the SU Binary, so I let it. Boom. Copped it again on the next test reboot, so again I performed the SafeRoot method. Now even SafeRoot wasn't effective any longer! So I went to the Odin approach and used the t0lte approach. Worked fine. I rebooted. Still worked fine. I installed SuperSU from the Google Play store again since it was lost as a result of the t0lte approach - worked fine even after 4 more consecutive reboots.

So then I decided to experiment and see what would happen if I did allow SuperSU to update the SU binary again, as it so requested upon start up. BOOM!

As such, I came to the conclusion that it was the binary update which was killing my root access with every reboot, at least those are my findings after 3 consecutive test reboots.

What I did to resolve the binary update issue was to jump into Busybox and allow it to (smart) install the new binary on its own instead of it being driven by SuperSU. Busybox updated itself from 1.21 to 1.22. I rebooted. SuperSU no longer complained about the binary needing an update and it never complained that I lost root and that was after another 4 consecutive reboots.

Therefore, my findings are that SuperSU somehow messed up root upon attempting an update of the SU binary. Performing it directly in Busybox using the smart install process stops SuperSU from asking about it since it's happy and overall, the whole phone is happy.

That said, I've now got my Knox counter set to 0x1 after all that mucking around so there goes the warranty!

My suggestion would be to use the SafeRoot approach, in order to avoid the Knox issues, do not allow SuperSU to update the binary but rather do it in Busybox as a Smart Install, then go back to SuperSU in order to allow Saferoot to complete its installation (as you need to grant permission in SuperSU for the ADB process in SafeRoot to do its work).

Good luck. It's never easy performing a software upgrade on an Android handset in the process of customising it as we do!
[Galaxy Note II General] nulife:
thanks so much! that's helpful for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] veeral:
Worked smoothly.. Thanks :good:..

After getting security message in notification bar you just have to go to play store. update your SU... Open it. select normal if you running on factory rom.. and then disable KNOX.......

[Galaxy Note II General] dredision:
you are right.

,great job man learned a lot from it
[Galaxy Note II General] sawan soni:
Bro i have not permanent solution but have a temporary solution.

This may be happenes because of knox security. And supersu doesnt work when mobile reboots.

So install it (update) in external memory. (Just start mobile and install supersu). Run supersu, it will ask you yo disable knox security. Press ok/yes. Now run some app like "rootchecker". It will show you that your mobile is root allowed.

THIS WORKED ON MY NOTE2 GTN7100

[Galaxy Note II General] benben333:
how to do this properly

hi I would just like to say thanks for the guide however you missed out a few point which took me a few hours to work out

1 you need to enable usb debugging and change the security to allow unkown sources

2 you need to press the down volume button and home and power -- first not up -- up home and power simply boots to recovery from which nothing happens -

so down volume button and home and power then vol up gets you to teh download state

hope this helps all you noobs :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Eateh:
I want to ask - Does this method work with Knox, because my friend has Note 2 too and he said Knox gave an error when installing from Odin in Download Mode.
[Galaxy Note II General] aaron13:
Yes thats right knox is protecting the system files. Flash cf autoroot first with autoreboot unselected. Pull the battery out and reboot. Go right to Google play and update supersu. Now you get the message to disable knox, confirm that.

Autoreboot often gives troubles with rooting.

What do you mean by update SuperSU, since It's the latest version.

Also, I am talking about MK9.

I've been trying to help my friend, and most of those posts I've read are for MK5
[Galaxy Note II General] aaron13:
If the system is rooted you can update it in google play also with the latest version because it isn't updated in the system yet.

Have you tried it all ready?
