Okay.. I have root and now I don't know what to do with it.. LOL.... still getting errors for KNOX and stuff... did a root check and installed titanium backup... all is well.. rooted... um.. now what? LOL Last time I rooted was like 3 years ago with an old Samsung so I dunno what I'm doing in it.. Okay, most importantly... getting rid of the KNOX error and being able to change APN so I can sell this thing to someone on another carrier. I go to APN settings and no where to add my own APN.. Just Verizon and "reset" under menu.. + does nothing... just stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Now that you have Titanium installed go and uninstall Syscope (nothing bad will happen) and to remove KNOX manually and to get rid of the errors popping up uninstall or freeze:

com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation

com.sec.knox.eventsmanager

KLMS Agent

KNOX

Knox Notification Manager

KNOX Store

Not sure what to do about the APN settings though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeDRFilms:
Hmm... Uninstalled SyScope but can't find any of the others.. found KNOX Setup Wizard but got a warning about uninstalling it.. ... Oh well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeDRFilms:
Okay.. Uninstalled SyScope and then uninstalled the Knox SetupWizard and BOOM.. no more nags.. sweet! Now if I could only figure out that APN dealie I'd be jamin'

Thanks again for all your help!

Super Newbie Question

Shame on me asking this newbie question here. I've tried every root methods and filed - especially spent 8 hours to flash from odin, nad unbrick my galaxy note 2.

FYI, my phone is SCH-605 (Verizon) and I605VRUFND7 (I don't know what is this) on 4.4.2.

How do I put binary into /files/folder? I'm pretty newbie here, and I can't simply 'put busybox-armv4tl binary into /files/folder.

I gooled for every methods so far and I have installed SDK.

Now I can see SDK commands in cmd when I type 'adb'.

What should I do now?

I don't even know how to locate my desktop on cmd. Any help?

p.s. I copied to put busybox-armv4tl into system32 which is default location set on my cmd. And typed

----------------------------------------

adb push busybox-armv4tl /files/folder

----------------------------------------

and it gives me:

----------------------------------------

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

cannat stat 'busybox-armv4tl': No such file or directory

----------------------------------------

Please advise!

Make sure you have the samsung drivers for the phone installed on your pc

Make sure you have USB debugging enabled (in Developer Options under your setting menu, if you don't see Developer Options you will need to enable it by going to settings and tapping on About Device then tap on Build number about 7-10 times) You may have to tap on Revoke USB debugging authorizations and then replug the phone back into your computer

You already have SDK installed

Open a adb cmd window and type adb devices and see if your device is listed.

Download ghettoroot.zip from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55210343&postcount=27

Extract stuff from zip file and run .bat file and follow on screen instructions. You should be able to root that way.

Hopefully I'm not missing a step but this what worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mjj0404:
OMG this worked for me!

I have tried every methods online so far, and I have bricked my phone many times that I can't even count it.

I typed 'adb devices' and I found Bluestack in my computer, so I erased it. (I'm pretty sure bluestack hasn't been a problem for other methods since I just installed it yesterday)

And I followed your step, and there was SuperSu!

Again, thank you so much!!!!

Hard bricked my phone

Hi,

I tried to do this and I have hard bricked my phone.

I first tried doing this about about a month ago and wasn't successful getting root. I thought, "Oh well, I tired" and went about my business. I was getting messages on boot about knox and sys.... not working but I was still able to use my phone.

Eventually, I got tired of that and thought "I'll do a factory reset and everything will be fine." Tried that and was still getting messages about know and sysscope (?) not working.

Eventually, I started getting more messages about other things crashing like google play, etc.

I tried another factory reset the other day and was still getting error messages. I tried putting it in download mode a few times (volume, home, power button) and it worked and I was getting to try to flash/root it again and then it wouldn't boot at all.

Now it is completely hard bricked. It doesn't turn on at all. Tried several cords/batteries/remove sd/remove sim, etc. No signs of life.

I know I am an idiot and shouldn't have tried this. I have rooted phones before with success but this one killed me.

The only thing I see to do is to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2690033

Which seems difficult for Macgyver let alone my Macgruber-like skills.

Any other options that I can do myself?

Thanks,

Rob

Please help; can't root my Verizon Note 2 with ghettoroot!

I am unable to get this to work on my Verizon Note 2.

Android 4.4.2

Baseband Ver i605vrufnd7

Kernel version 3.0.31

Build KOT49H.i605vrufnd7

I have the latest usb drivers and adb installed on the pc

I've attached latest debug text file.

I'm now getting the Knox and SysScope errors. But I check root, I don't have root and there's no SU installed.

(I actually tried this a couple months ago with ghettoroot 0.3.0.1 and got the exact same errors. Today I factory wiped my phone hoping to get rid of the knox and sysscope errors, but to my horror they still pop up after a factory wipe! Tried ghettoroot 0.3.2 just now and have the same issues.)

Cool I got it too work , I guess safe strap does not back up roms? any app that I can back up rom with . Titanium just seems to back up apps. still hesitant to scared I'm gonna brick. Has anyone used both roms and which one do they prefer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Safestrap does backup ROMs. You can boot into safestrap and use it just like TWRP since it's built off of TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chocolil:
Following the directions my phone is now rooted. Even though I can't use the custom roms the fact that I can freeze apps was my main agenda. But some of the those Xposed Modules are also catching my eye so I'll check them out later. I did get SysScope and KNOX error on boot but I froze them and now they no longer appear.

My question now is how do I go about backing up the entire phone or whatever in case of a brick? I know how important it is to have a backup in case of that since I always experimented with stuff on my Wii which sometimes needed to be restored. I also would like to know how do I go back to an unrooted factory like state. I got this phone used so it was already on 4.4.2 so I don't mean to downgrade. I don't think that is possible from what I've read. Just in case if I want to sell the phone later though I'd rather it be clean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
To go back to stock use Odin to flash a factory image. To make a backup you need to grab safestrap from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2704992 (don't worry that it says for mj9 as it

does

work on nd7)

once you get safestrap installed you can boot into TWRP (which gets installed when installing safestrap). From there you can flash things and make backups.

I've rooted twice using the ghettoroot method, and needed to use both versions pretty much simultaneously both times I rooted. Are you using the double ghettoroot method? It took me a restart of my computer to have my phone to show the usb debugging prompt one time, and many other people have noted the necessity to disable your anti-virus while running the batch files, but after 8-10 tries it finally works for me.

Good luck, let me know if any of this helped

I think the all in one was the trick for me. If ADB lists your device try that. Thank you so much to everyone working so diligently on this!!!

Edit: Howcan I get rid of the Knox and SysScope force close?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Install Titanium Backup or any app that will allow you to uninstall system apps. Then find and remove Syscope. To remove the knox junk find and uninstall or freeze the following:

com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation

com.sec.knox.eventsmanager

KLMS Agent

KNOX

Knox Notification Manager

KNOX Store

Don't worry if you can't find all the ones listed above but you should find at least 3-4 of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rmhand:
Suggestion: Copy the adb.exe (plus the two .dll files ... may or may not be necessary) into the all-in-one Ghetto Root folder. When you run Ghetto Root from there I think it'll still try to run the (old?) adb that comes with the all-in-one GR, regardless of what's on your system path.

Good luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Did you install device drivers for you phone on your pc? Do you have adb installed? If you have adb installed open an adb window and type: adb devices

You should see your device listed. If you do then you should be good to go. I have found that extracting the ghetto root exploit into the adb folder seems to be a big help.

That adb should work just fine. Are you using the ghettoroot by NetworkingPro or the one in the OP? I would suggest using the one that NetworkingPro posted and extract the files of the zip into your adb folder then running it from there. Did you see if adb recognized your device by typing adb devices with your phone plugged in?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Charlie R.:
unzip? /tmp?

I rooted my i605 last night, and the SuperSU installer failed.

I ran an "adb shell" to get into the phone, then ran "gettoroot /system/bin/mksh" to become uid 0.

I found the script for installing SuperSU, and it has some errors:

- It calls unzip, which is not found.

- It tries to unpack in /tmp, which does not exist.

I worked the unpack manually, and it worked. However, safestrap wouldn't install until I'd upgraded SuperSU from the Play store.

Has Verizon been removing these files and directories to complicate rooting, or is this a simple scripting error?

The same happened to me when i tried rooting my 7105 XXUFNI2. Before i had XXUFNE3 and it was rootable by Ghettoroot at once. Then i updated the firm and of course lost root. When i tried rooting the new firm i stuck at the same place. It seems the newer firmwares can´t effected anymore. I switched back to XXUFNE3 - and Ghettoroot worked like a charme.

I´m not sure for the 7100 - but for 7105 it seems fact. Maybe it will work too if you can download an earlier Firmware and flash it via Odin.

So now I'm gingerly prodding about to see what I can use to UNLOAD all the BLOATWARE out of it (Like Amazon, and NFL, and all that idiocy) I've seen some stuff over on F-droid? What is recommended?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
There's tons of replys from people on their success of rooting this device on 4.4.2 ND7. Have you searched and read through this thread? I, myself and others have posted a lot of tips and tutorials on what worked for us.

I would use the ghettoroot that NetworkingPro posted HERE

Make sure USB debugging is on

Must have ADB installed and most people installed Android SDK as well

Download ghettoroot.zip from link above and follow its instructions.

I recommend extracting the ghettoroot.zip into your ADB folder (worked great for me)

I really interested in getting it to work on a mac. Its the only computer i have access to at work or home. Thanks

PS. Does anyone have a STEP by STEP on how to do this on a mac? I Have downloaded adb and skd manager. I have downloaded the ghettoroot.zip from NetworkingPro. And i have no idea how to run the GhettoRoot.bat. It does nothing when i double click or force open on terminal.

1. I launch the adb folder

2. ./adb devices - WORKS

3. Run the ghettoroot folder

4. then run install.sh (for mac)

all seems to work until the end. where i get this:

./Script/prepare. sh: line 4: adb: command not found

./Script/prepare. sh: line 5: adb: command not found

*** Could not push files.

with Ghettoroot 0.2.2 Nothing happens, it never sees the phone
