I am going nuts.....

I have tried to use Kies. Over and over again.

The decided that I would go in to Tmobil and let the rep help me. Come to find out that Kies is obsolete, now its Samsung Smart Switch.

We got that working for backup purposes.

I have downloaded the Samsung USB drivers and installed....

Now I have tried for days now to get rooted. Cant figure out whats wrong.

Downloaded the files per thread,

Started Odin, but noticed that ID:COM does not show anything, yet

beginnerguides.net/root/samsung-galaxy-note-2

shows O:[COM5] in Odin. Is this showing a connection to the phone? Mine does not show that and I think that is what my problem is.

Cause when I finish running Odin, this is what I get

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> CF-Auto-Root-t0ltetmo-t0ltetmo-sght889.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

Please help me !

Good Article

Good for new people who still haven't started Rooting
[Galaxy Note II General] aaron13:
strange, I rooted my N7100 a week ago with no problems.

I flashed cf autoroot t03 with odin 3.09. ( leave settings standard)

Go after the reboot immediately to google play and install supersu.

Newbie - About To Root - Note 2

Hi all, I am new to rooting and I am excited towards rooting my phone. I have backed up my phone, installed my phone drivers in laptop and was about to root using CF-Auto-Root. Since ChainFire said that his note 2 root was always in beta mode and thread has also closed long ago. So I have a question. Is CF-Auto-Root really the best tool to root galaxy note 2? What about vRoot, iRoot, KingRoot, TowelRoot etc? Any difference in terms of reliability or the end results among these?
[Galaxy Note II General] aaron13:
Yes cf autoroot t03 ia the best just flash it with odin
[Galaxy Note II General] geo909:
Hi,

Would that work with SCH-N719? It's a variant bought from China.
[Galaxy Note II General] audit13:
I recommend not flashing cfautoroot unless the model and rom version is specifically listed on the chainfire website

Simplest way to root any ROM on the note 2 may be to flash TWRP via Odin and then flash the latest supersu from TWRP.

beginners guide is no longer online. Does anyone have a previous history of this webpage saved somewhere ? or does the author in the 1st post have instructions from beginners guide ? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] audit13:
If you want to root, download Odin, download the appropriate version of cfautoroot (https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/) and flash it in Odin.

My phone won't reboot, please help!

Following the direction, I rooted my Note 2 i317m, everything is ok until the phone start reboot, and it stalled at the Samsung name and won't load the data. What can be done to resolve the problem? please help.
[Galaxy Note II General] xaq208:
Little Confused

So i am absolutely new to rooting. I have some experience in Linux but never felt the need to mess with my phone, until now.

Anyway I tried this and got no where, I am confident that i followed the direction to the letter.

But when i hit start on the odin tool, i get a "all threads complete. (succeed 0/ failed 0)"

Im guessing that this mean it just didnt see my phone, but i dont know why it dosnt see me phone.

I pulled my phone out of odin mode and it booted fine.

Thanks, And i appreciate the simplified guide.
[Galaxy Note II General] kalo0osh97:
Try booting into recovery mode (By holding the home Button + Volume up button then press the power button for 5 secounds) Now choose the option "Wipe Data\Factory reset" Or any similar option then reboot and it should work.Note:this will erase all your data(apps,contacts,messages)

If that didn't work then I think you will have to flash your rom again using odin.

Sorry for the late reply but I was busy lately :(

Anyway make sure you see light blue coloured box under “ID:COM” in Odin…..If that box was white with no writing inside it then you have to make sure:

1-You have Installed the samsung drivers (if you have them installed then remove them and reinstall)

2-Also make sure Samsung Kies or any other similar software is active in the background.(like Sony PC companion,Etc)

3-You start Odin as an administrator.

Hopefully this will solve your problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] xaq208:
okay so i had downloaded but not installed the samsung drivers and that was my issue, thankyou

But now during the root process after the restart my phone just goes back to my stock, with all my apps and files still there.

Now Im not sure whats going wrong. I do have usb debugging on, should that be off?
[Galaxy Note II General] motavi:
Rooted mine and then it somehow became unrooted?
[Galaxy Note II General] rubennd:
ok, so i came from a motorola hd, with that phone before rooting i had to unlocked bootloader, right now i have everything installed in my computer but due to lot of work i havent had time to make the root, but then it came to my mind, do i need to unlock bootloader on the note 2? or this phone come already with the bootloader unlocked and is just necesary to root and thats all, and then instal recovery right?
[Galaxy Note II General] kalo0osh97:
What do you mean by stock...?

And do you see the SuperSu in your app drawer?

Sorry but I didn't understand,do you mean after you rooted and saw SuperSu in your app drawer it disappeared and your Note 2 became unrooted..?

Well,Locked bootloader usually are only on Motorola,Sony and the nexus devices(Maybe other OEMs also).Also, devices from carriers may also have locked bootloaders depending on your note 2 version.

Depending on your Note 2 version but probably the bootloader will be unlocked you will only have to root and then install any custom recovery you prefer.Therefore if your device is supported to be rooted using method 1 I will advice you to do it.Because it will flash a custom Recovery and then root your device in the same time.

Binary Count and Other Questions?

Hi,

I have a couple of questions about rooting my GT-N7100.

1. Will method one increase the binary count for my phone? I understand this is part of what Samsung uses to determine warranty eligibility and I'm not sure I'm ready to lose warranty completely unless the binary count is reversible.

2. Is there a way to do this from MAC OS X? I have tried finding info on doing it from my Mac, but have not been successful yet.

3. Is there a way to completely revert the phone to original if I do this?

Thanks for putting up with the n00b questions!
[Galaxy Note II General] kalo0osh97:
It will probably increase your binary count.But yes it can be reversible by using chainfire's triangle away.To revert the phone to its original state you will need to flash a Samsung official firmware and then use triangle away to reset your binary count.Hopefully this will be enough for you to get your warranty back.

Note: you have to make sure your Samsung Galaxy note 2 is supported by triangle away.

If you want to root only and stay as stock as possible I will recommend method 2 but if you want also to install a custom recovery then method 1 is more preferred.

Actually I'am not sure if there are the same programs that will work on MAC OS X..

So, I advice you to borrow a windows computer or if you couldn't borrow one you can also install windows virtually on your MAC OS X using programs like virtualbox.

I just rooted with method 2 si my phone had been only supersu n busybox ...so I question do I get updates from samsung? Or not ....and is there any way with root I can nake my phone status official or normal else then modefired...plz help im new with samsung though
[Galaxy Note II General] kalo0osh97:
Well, yes you will get updates from Samsung and you will get notified when there are any updates.BUT before you update I advice you to unroot your device because keeping root might make some problems. For your second question you can't root and keep your phone status to official it will always be change to modified.So, to change it again to official you will have to unroot and then it should change to official again,if you where planning to go to a Samsung service center you will also have to use triangle away to reset your binary count.
[Galaxy Note II General] djmax81:
Thanx ....I used triangle away...to reset my count ...now status is normal not official inn ..settings>.status is it fine? for otg updates....? Coz there is option to make supersu disable when boot ....n it enable it after status is normal....

Nice Introduction.

I needed this couple weeks ago.

Google and other Forums helped me on my first root steps.

I took the way with chainfires cf-autoroot.

Today I'm on ROM Omega13. Kernel Perseus 33.4 with simplistic Framework 3.5.1.

My best friends are Nandroid and Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy Note II General] nollington:
help please

I havent rooted anything for about a year, that was my HTC desire HD which took me a while to root and i even fried a chip in it and had to get it sent away for repairs :(

So before i attempt any of these methods ill ask first :)

I have just got myself a new galaxy note 2 GT-N7105

Android version 4.1.1

Kernel 3.0.32-240505

Really all i want to do is root it and maybe in future install a custom rom. I havent looked at any custom roms yet so if theres any recommended let me know.

So anyway, which is the best way to go about rooting my note? can i root it as it is and keep it stock but rooted? and also if maybe somone knows a good rom ( i had blackout on my desire hd) what rom and how to root and install that?

I know its probabbly been asked before but i really dont want to fry anything or brick my phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
Incorrect, I'm rooted and my status is"normal"

What you can't do is flash a custom ROM, kernel, or recovery and keep status normal. It's possible to have a rooted stock ROM with status normal though.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Replied your pm
[Galaxy Note II General] ozgro:
Thanks for the post

Thanks, just followed the steps and it worked straight away - and I'm a n00b!
[Galaxy Note II General] kalo0osh97:
Simply NO.Old phones could be rooted by booting into stock recovery and flashing a zip without a computer.But on newer phones Samsung made sure its hard for us to root our phones that way but still thanks to developers we are able to root our phones in an alternative methods.

Well, you can root and keep your stock rom,but if your thinking into installing a custom rom you will need a custom recovery such as ClockWorkMod or TWRP. Since, you want to root and install a custom recovery so method 1 is going to be better for you OR you could if you found method 1 hard,root with method 2 then install custom recovery .

For further instruction I will be glad to help you.

Sadly, I don't have any rom to recommend for you.

Hopefully yes,but can I know what exactly is not working..?

For now these are some common issues:

Make sure you see light blue coloured box under “ID:COM” in Odin…..If that box was white with no writing inside it then you have to make sure:

1-You have Installed the samsung drivers (if you have them installed then remove them and reinstall)

2-Also make sure Samsung Kies or any other similar software is not active in the background.(like Sony PC companion,Etc)

3-You start Odin as an administrator.

Hopefully this will solve your problem.

Glad to hear that from you.

Those with a Mac wondering if this will work- If you're on OS X keep in mind that you can use Bootcamp to run windows. Those of you that have MtLion (10.8.3) can now use Windows 8 with Boot Camp. When you boot your Mac just remember to press and hold "Option" at boot which will allow you to choose what OS you want to start.

******By default the system will boot to Windows*****

So to answer your question- Technically "Yes" there is a way to use this on a Mac. Just install Windows on your Mac running the Boot Camp assistant and you do not have to worry about borrowing a friends computer.

I have a Mac and running Win7- Just thought I'd offer advice to help you out.

[Galaxy Note II General] sonykalkan:
Hi, nice instructions. But I have some problems now. I tried both methods step by step. Everything seemed ok at first even at the end it says all threads completed succeed 1 failed 0 for Odin. It also placed su user application on the phone (Note 2 N7100XXDMB5 4.1.2). But, the phone is not rooted as expected. I cannot uninstall already installed applications but only downloaded ones and there is no administrator.

Second, when i press home, power, sound up I cannot enter recovery section. What it did is that Samsung logo slides anormally out of screen . I think these instructions above installed clockwordmod but for the fact the phone is not rooted as expected it misbehaves.. Please give me some help on how to restore this recovery section and root correctly my phone. I cannot use recovery now. Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Note II General] sonykalkan:
Update: Then, I downloaded busybox and then a software that required root (root app delete). I granted root to the software and it does the removal of the system application. So, there is no problem in rooting but my other problem continues. I cannot switch to the recovery section. Can you someone solve this problem. I think clockworldmod is misinstalled in my phone. I want to revoke the changes to its original recovery program.

Second method root [succesfull]

Many thanks kalo0osh97!

My first root, I choosed the second method, a piece of cake because very clear tutorial :cool:

I also tryed a mod to gain max volume sound (default_gain.conf)

now my bt headset is still paired but can't hear anything when someone calls, I hear music and video sound...

I replaced the edited version with the original file without any change (I can't find the thread)... I'm confused: do I have to full reset my phone or is it related to the volume mod?

I guess I don't have to unroot before a factory reset

Thanks for your advice :)

Hello!

I rooted my phone not to long after I got it back in Feb. Had no problems at all, followed the steps and was done in about 3 minutes with Odin. But now there's an update that keeps popping up on my phone and I'm trying to figure out what's the best way of going about it. I don't want to install a custom mod at this point, really still like stock. I do know that generally speaking you shouldn't just update a rooted phone.

So do I unroot with Odin? Will I have to wipe my phone to do that? Also can I just re-root after that?

Can I just update it some how like with Odin or Mobile Odin pro?

Thanks!

Is your serial number showing up at the main menu at least? If not, then install the Samsung drivers.

If your serial number is showing up (this may sound weird but it happens to me), it could be your antivirus software conflicting adb (if you have antivirus software) and if you do have antivirus software temporarily disable it.

(Avg antivirus conflicts for me every time I need to adb)

Can you boot to recovery mode...? (when you're your phone is completly off hold down the volume down button+ the home button then press the power button for 5 seconds)

you should get something like this

if you got this menu then you can select the option "Wipe data/factory reset" which unfortunately will erase all your apps contact msgs and every user data.

thanks.

Hi,

I think root was not successful can you try the rooting process again because I think it didn't work.

And if you have done method 1 try method 2
