[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit83:
yes you can root your galaxy note 2 with official Android 4.3..As I was able to root my GN2 with Android 4.3 India..first let me know which Su .zip are you using to root the phone...

let me explain again...After upgrading the phone to Android 4.3 i first flashed CWR ver.6 touch using ODIN...then i flashed the Superuser.zip which i downloaded from "Root leaked Android 4.3 thread from xda" , i am not able to find the thread now but i can upload the CWM.tar file that you can use to flash Clockwork mod touch recovery & also the Superuser.zip file that i used..so after flashing the superuser i still didn't got root access on my phone...& i was getting the Knox error & Superuser has stopped working when trying to access it. So a simple solution to that is just go to play store & update your Superuser app & after the update when you will open superuser for the first time it will ask you to download some additional binaries & say yes to that & download using the normal method & not the CWM/TRP method listed there. Then it will ask you to reboot the device & after that your must be rooted. everything worked fine for me from there...& now my phone is fully rooted..confirmed by root checker app from play store & also i the applications requiring root are working fine. i.e. Titanium Backup.

To Disable Knox. i.e. Knox notifications -you can use any file explorer with root access ( i use root explorer) & go to /system/app & then search for knox & then just rename the files that have knox in the name & have .apk extension to knox.apk.bak. e.g. if a file is named as knox.apk then you need to rename it to knox.apk.bak, remember you have to rename only knox.apk files & not knox.odex files.

So if you have already flashed the superuser .zip file then i would suggest you to update your superuser app from play store then open the superuser app & it should ask you to download additional files. Download & install that using the normal method listed there & reboot the device if requested by the app. Thats should be it.

Then you can confirm root access by downloading root checker & titanium backup apps from google play.Also root checker may ask you to install busybox, which again you can download for free from playstore...jst search for busybox & install busybox installer app from there...then once in busybox installer app you can select & install the busybox version you prefer..(i would suggest the latest version).

& Yes you can always revert back to Android 4.1.2 by flashing the 4.1.2 firmware using ODIN...which you can download from sammobile.com

Also did you perform wipe data & wipe cache before flashing the N7100XXUEMK4 Android 4.3 firmware.

Thats it frm my side man...

Hit thanks if i helped & further queries are welcome. :good:

Hi there...

Where did you download the firmware file for Android 4.3 from?

& is this N7100 8GB or 16GB Model

Moving forward

Step 1- put phone in download mode- & press Volume up to confirm

2) Connect phone to PC...make sure you see COM# in ID:COM field

3)Go to recovery & perform Data wipe & wipe cache

4) download ODIN 3.07 from here http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rc...EoeWTffM5YAXb2mm1xQGkpQ&bvm=bv.56988011,d.eW0 & just extract it.

5) No need to run ODIN as admin...( I also ran it without admin)

6) Add the exctracted .tar.md5 firmware that you have downloaded to the PDA section...wait as it will take time to check the file.

7) Make sure only Auto reboot & F. Reset time are selected

8) Go ahead & click on start...this can take 5 to 8 mins to flash the firmware

lemm'e know if you still face issues.

Hit thanks if i helped. :good:
