Tried the casual framaroot exploits not working
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] 2rz_taco_sr5:
just curious is anyone attempting to update this to work on the newest firmware? i just acquired an i925 and id like to root it but looks like im a bit late in the game. Is there any other known root methods? Id love me some cm11 or even just some touchwiz kitkat!

any help is greatly appreciated im not used to devices that aren't rooted!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] 2rz_taco_sr5:
ROOTED!!!

i answered my own question guys took a bit of searching but i found a root method that worked.

i used this method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2403230

the download link has been removed but it is here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCBLOhWavT0

i just did this and confirmed it with root checker. i will update soon and let everyone know that its working fine and nothing weird has happened (loose root, brick etc)

to be clear this will leave you with a stock rooted rom w/ stock bootloader and everything. im not sure but maybe you can root with this method then run casuals program to finish everything up asuming you want to flash another rom like cyanogen. i dont plan to switch roms at the moment but if i do ill give it a try. this was all on the latest software update from verizon.

hint i didnt feel like downloading kies or finding drivers so when you read the instructions and it says install drivers all i did was install casuals software and open it (didnt click anything inside) and that installed the drivers. as soon as i opened casual i went back to the other root program and i925 popped up amongst the chinese letters and the blue button had the words root on it. clicked that my tablet rebooted a couple times and all is good so far.

hope this helps some of you with newer software that want root please dont come to me if you tablet explodes im only explaining what worked for me im not a dev so im not sure what can and cant go wrong.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] tselling:
This is the controversial VRoot method and it installs a few apks on your system. Most can be uninstalled without any problem. But I am worried about the KingUser app that is Superuser.apk in system/app. If you uninstall or delete it, you lose root. *** and looks like Root Genius also uses this Kinguser app to root. ***

I am wondering if this is also some sort of phishing app. If someone knowledgeable can check it out, that would be great. It is a good sign that the i925 with VRAMK1 rom can be rooted... but not sure I trust this particular root method to not steal my information. I will attach as a zip file for someone handy with rooting methods to check out.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] 2rz_taco_sr5:
Well the root method is the least of my problems right now. I decided to try and run the casual software to get a custom recovery and just checked I did it during the root part since I already was and now I'm soft bricked. I can get into download mode but until I recently got this tablet and my s5 I've always been an htc guy. In other words I'm having a hard time bringing this back to life. I downloaded this

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SCH-I925&pcode=0#firmware

And tried flashing with odin but no luck might be doing something wrong... Also tried following the cyanogen instructions which involve flashing a recovery in download mode but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

To clarify I can only get into download mode. If I hold power the screen will just flash the download mode screen on and off. I pulled the back off and pulled power. No difference.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] tselling:
VRoot roots VRAMK1 but it installs a superuser apk called Kinguser and some other apps and files. If you uninstall, delete, or freeze their Superuser.apk that is the Kinguser app; you lose root. Use at your own risk! It is recommended to uninstall the VRoot application on your PC with something like IObitUninstaller to be sure your PC is clean.

https://translate.google.com/transl...http://www.mgyun.com/vroot&edit-text=&act=url

Note: that only the non-English version worked form me at version 1.7.8. The English version is at 1.7.3 and didn't work.

**** I have recently found a way to remove the VRoot installed files and replace their Superuser apk. It is based on MrW0lf's work but I had to make some modifications. You need to unzip cleanvr.zip, copy the cleanvr folder to your tablet, and go into the cleanvr directory from adb. Make sure to su. Then run the command "/system/bin/sh ./root.sh". It installs Chainfire's SuperSU in place of the KingUser superuser app and cleans up the VRoot files and directories..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] deviousmrtaco:
cleanvr worked great, thanks for the help, I wish I had gotten a Gnote with earlier firmware so I could use the exploit, Hope that the devs will be able to figure something out like they always do cause they're geniuses
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] mha1021:
Root VRAMK1

Okay first of all thanks to all the guys that posted before me in this thread.

Well my tablet has VRAMK1 and I rooted it with VRoot_1.7.9.9273.

Didn't like the crapware it installed in my tablet so i installed superuser from SDcard. Open it and update binaries select Normal and it will asked you to remove Kingroot app select yes and DONE. you have root with Superuser APP.

Both superuser app and Vroot zipped and attached for download. Enjoy

This worked for me. Finally rooted again since the Verizon update back in January, Have you determined a custom recovery method? I searched and searched. Dee Troy had made a custom trwp for our variant, it used to be packaged with the Causal exploit, but I cant find.

---------- Post added at 04:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

Crap, I thought I'd be smart. I extracted recovery.img from Casual, installed, and now I'm soft bricked. A screen that says unauthorized software, goto a Verizon dealer for assistance,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] tselling:
I would try using odin to reinstall original software. Or you could extract just the stock recovery and try installing that. If that works, maybe just be happy with root.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] rspong:
Well that was close. I managed to download verizons complete restore from samsung mobile. Used odin to install. Because of no data wipe, apps and data were maintained.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] rspong:
It's the sammobile link back one page in this thread.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] kwonic:
That is the one I tried and now my device loops. I basically had it casual rooted, then did the OTA update on accident. Then it went straight to trwp and I deleted wiped the cache and other items so I believe I didnt have a rom build anymore. I had the CM 4.2 to start with before the OTA incident and then I decided to Odin that firmware from SAM mobile. Now my device only loops a white screen but I can power+volume into odin still and it shows this on the picture. Any suggestions? Probably bricked now because when I tried to do Odin again it tells me failure after the Nand part.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] 85gallon:
I am glad I found this before I tried the VR or Kinguser method.

Do you have a casual that will still work with the sch i925??
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] nthaniel:
I cannot get the download to work, no matter what I try. Is there another place to download Casual? I'm aware that the developer said NOT to host it elsewhere, but that was four years ago, and sometimes things change over time.

Hello Adam,

I'm sure you are very busy working on projects. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I hope you would be willing to repost the Take Note Verizon CASUAL(R478b) file so I can unlock the bootloader on my SCH-I925. The link has been dead for some time, however I do not have any other tablet I can work with at the moment and would really like to unlock my bootloader. Apparently people were respectful enough to not repost as you asked, but now the file is not available anymore.

Thanks again.

@AdamOutler THANKS for your hard work!!!

SCH-i925 have some same mounting parts as the

N8020

er.... but all different as N8000 / N8010 ... it is very dangerous to flash any other ROMs ....

@AdamOutler Do you know the mounting part from boot.img?? Is this /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] AdamOutler:
Yeah p8, aka /dev/block/platform/dw-mmc/byname/BOOT.. You can do

ls -l /dev/block/platform/dw-mmc/by-name

for the full partition listings.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] Darkman:
I have only a N8000 ;)

but there is this not working:

ls -l /dev/block/platform/dw-mmc/by-name

I have test it over Terminal Emulator with "su" .... i use "mount" but there is not complet all parts..

For the SCH-I925 i have now all Parts ... there are the same like the

N8020

!!!

The Kernel that you use for this unlock is from the SCH-i925 or ist this from the N8010?

Nervous First Timer

Going to try this tomorrow when I am back home with my Verizon GN 10.1 on a Macbook Air ... really tired of seeing the bloatware. Looks pretty simple:

1. Ensure I have the latest java

2. Download Casual

3. Enable USB debugging

4. Run Casual, click "do it"

5. Don't flash anything

Correct?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] Darkman:
Thats correct.... if i get a System Dump i can make one.....

But i dont have this device....

In case anyone is interested. I installed the latest Verizon Galaxy Note 10.1 update, and I no longer have root, and the "framaroot" app, no longer works.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] AdamOutler:
I can probly handle this with an online update. i'm busy though, can someone get me a copy of the old stock kernel so I can update the procedure to flash the old kernel and then continue on as normal?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] SRobby:
What all files do you need, i can opload them somewhere, thanks in advance for your help.

Also, FYI for anyone interested, "voodoo's root keeper" will preserve root through the OTA, but of course will kill your recovery.

-I haven't tested this app to install the recovery after the ota until i hear that its ok.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] konolua:
Loved the root (mainly for the multi window app) and the new update broke Framaroot. Unforatunely, I share my device and someone tapped the update button. I tried everything to get back to the previous version of the software and can't. Would love any ideas, or chance that this current build (JZO54K.I925VRAME2) could become compatible.

Man I hate Verizon.....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] rspong:
I had cwm as my recovery.

It saved my ass, the update failed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] konolua:
I'm a bit new to the stuff...it had said after the update "UPDATE FAILED, NOTHING WAS CHANGED" or something similar. Does that mean I can get into recovery and do something to get my root access back? I can't seem to launch the TWRP to have any sort of options. Have I missed the part that allows me to get there?

If you didnt use a root keeper, and it is in fact already installing the update, then yes, you will be losing root.

These are not update files, these are the stock recovery and kernel from the update. I posted them so he could rebuild the jailbreak.
