Hey man,

so I'm sorry you say you followed to a tee and it didn't work out, but I did say cd was the command needed to change your directory. If you didn't know that, that's what every pc stock command window uses... secondly, you never need to reflash firmware using Odin unless your phone has been bricked. You can just go to recovery mode clear all your cache and do a factory reset. Also, the drivers on your pc is what causes your Android device to fail communication. If you really deleted all your drivers you need to restart BOTH your pc and mobile device. I don't think i mentioned that but it should be noted. Ultimately, i didn't make a mistake on different phones do different things haha. This thread is for a specific phone, running on specific firmware, for a specific provider. They don't custom build your Note 2. They mass produce them. So our phones are exactly the same except for theextra things you do to the phone. So, if you backup, factory reset with clear cache, and start from there. Our phones are exactly the same. I'm sorry it didn't work for you but it seems you have little experience with the terminal. I'd be glad to help you with more detailed steps if you could give me specific problems you are encountering. Please let me know the exact file locations for your ghettoroot 2.2 file and your sdk file. Then erase your drivers download the ones from the OP, then restart your phone and computer doing the factory reset on your phone. Then reconnect. If it doesn't work let me know. Also make sure you clear your dalvick-cache. I'm pretty sure that is an option in recovery mode.

iI just received a replacement Note 2 preloaded with I605VRUFND7 4.4.2.....ghettoroot doesnt work for me.. I get "device not found" on all 3 steps..... :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jtsmall:
TeMp TeK, that's where I was, then success. Check #304 and #308.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bricks4ck:
Ok after root on the note 2 verizon what can we do. Only freeze apps and customize inside stock rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jtsmall:
In addition to Titanium Backup I make use of other root enabled apps like Greenify, Root Explorer, AdAway, All-In-One Toolbox, BusyBox Pro, NextApp SDFix, Total Commander, Helium and Root Checker Pro.

As you know, we cannot flash custom ROMs or kernels without an unsigned bootloader and custom recovery like Clockwork Mod. That does matter to reach the extremes of performance. However I find the quad core processors good enough that lacking this capability is not a deal breaker for rooting.

While not requiring root, replacing the stock launcher is often desirable. I'm currently using Nova Launcher Pro.

If your asking a more basic question about why root (I see you're rooted so I don't think this applies) Lifehacker has several articles on this subject that covers the subject rather comprehensively.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bricks4ck:
I am rooted aswell have titanium back up, running next launcher at the moment. Just switched from nova to get a little change. Awaiting the unlocked bootloader but was curious to see what other have or do out there with the rooted stock rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jtsmall:
Also Xposed Framework and select modules popular.

Please help

I have the Note 2 with following :

Tried all . Stil nogo, The batch file says no "No deviceFound"

Can there be any other Alternative... TIA:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackshoes:
I have 4.4.2. Once rooted, can you install one of the wifi-tether apps for rooted phones? I'm not a fan of the FoxFi tether because it achieves the tether by installing a cert and doing a workaround.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] note crazy:
Ok so how do I use this root ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Do you have abd installed? If so open an adb command window and type adb devices and hopefully your phone should be found. Also make sure USB debugging is on. Try running again after that. I'm not sure if this works with the international version of the note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] note crazy:
Ok so I downloaded everything now...how do I do this please a step by step guide
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Did you download the root exploit from the OP or the one NetworkingPro did on the second or third page?

You will want to make sure you have some sort of adb installed. Search for 15 second adb and download that if you haven't already.

Also make sure you have the correct drivers for the phone installed on the PC.

Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on.

Some people also stated clearing cache and dalvik (I didn't and it worked fine, your mileage may vary)

Plug your phone into PC.

Open a command window in the adb folder (where ever you extracted it to after downloading) and type: adb devices

You should see a alpha numeric value show up on the line below which is good. You can close the adb window.

Now run the Ghettoroot and follow the instructions on screen. At some point you will see a popup on your phone to authorize USB debugging and allow it.

I'm at work right now and not in front of my laptop with all my stuff but this should get you rooted. I would recommend using the file that NetworkingPro provided.

Anyone else please speak up if I'm missing something as I think I'm still in a food coma.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] note crazy:
Thank you brother yes I got the one from networkingPro ill give this a go as soon as I get home from work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jordanrock618:
I have tried just about everything and can't seem to get this to work! Need help! I followed all the instructions from the op! I have tried the current version of the installer and the previous one, and tried the 4l, and 4tl binaries, and not having any luck, tried the installcmd.exe as well as the steps from networking pro (clean, prepare, root). It is almost as if i am missing something, but not sure what? I have all drivers for my phone as well as the adb drivers. :confused:

I'd like to know the same thing.

I only need root to use Wifi-Tether App.

But, can we still use it if I upgrade?

I'm currently stock rooted on MC3 4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] EddieK23:
I just used GhettoRoot going from Android 4.3 to baseband ND3 to ND7 with 4.4.2 and I can say that wifi-tether apps do work nicely.

I don't know if it'll work for you specifically, but I followed this post. I also downloaded the Android SDK, copied the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from the (main folder)\sdk\platform-tools\ folder, then making adb.exe always be run as administrator. After doing all that, I can confirm that I have root and wifi-tethering.

Happy rooting everyone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AYEHAN:
thank you so much for this one but it didnt worked for me ..

Confirmed Working Root For Stock 4.4.2 - ND7

Can someone please sticky this???

Just wanted to share this with everyone since I had a hard time finding a working version of Ghettoroot for the latest Verizon Note 2 OTA ND7 update. For some reason the adb.exe was not the right one. I hope this helps everyone. I take no credit in the creation, I just fixed it so that it is easier for others to root a brand new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mati039:
How can I completely remove this Root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobdole:
Thank you very much! Your version worked instantly. We should make this one sticky!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hami497:
Man i was going nuts ghetto root was not working at all. Thanks to you your fixed script worked for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackshoes:
I'm not gonna lie to you fellas.... I mean, I'm not gonna lie this time. Not that I lie all the time, but I just know this time is not the right time.

I'm afraid of executables where the source code doesn't exist. There, I said it. Call me crazy, but rooting the phone with the executable kinda freaks me out. I'm not gonna lie. Not this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
I has a sneaky suspicion that you are lying... lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scratchnbell:
Thanks, the fixed version worked for me. I just got my Asurian phone today and the old version wasn't working.

Since I cant install a custom boot loader on this one, how do I get WIFI tethering to work if I can't install Wifi Tethering fix.zip from the boot loader.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] travelfeet:
Thank you!

I struggled for days with this, and Bang! done.

You rock! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] C1audia:
I worked all day yesterday on upgrading to ND7 and rooting.

Worked great! Now how to backup my rom

Everything worked like a charm on my SCH-i605 note 2! I would now like to backup my original rom and put a new one on. I rebooted into system recovery and have no option for backing up. Is this something I'm going to be able to do with this root?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackshoes:
First off, I'm an idiot.

I think that if you have stock 4.4.2 then you are jacked because the bootloader is locked. It doesn't matter if you're rooted or not. That means you now have to install SafeStrap that will allow you to load custom roms along side your stock rom. THere is an active safestrap thread for the note2. I don't know if it's fully functional though.

Word up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
It's almost fully functional, you can backup, restore, flash mods and 4.4.2 TW Roms. But from what I've seen so far is that we can't use ROM slots yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Oooah:
Thanks guys! Off to safestrap my phone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bricks4ck:
With Safestrap what can we do? . I've read we can flash roms but not in custom slots. Only over stock. Then I've read we can. It's very confusing reading hundreds of these threads
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] godly967:
Any good 4.4.2 roms? I was using Jedi before I updated to KitKat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Not sure... haven't tried any yet. Still rockin' stock rooted.

Try the Alliance rom its sick bro you can make the phone how you want it to look battery life is amazing too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] godly967:
Would you mind linking me to the safestrap thread? I want to be sure I'm looking at the right one

Hi,

few month before i rooted my N7105 XXUFNE3 [DTM] without any problem.

Now i´m offered N7105 XXUFNI2 [DTM] [4.4.2] through OTA. Did anybody already try out rooting this T-Mobile Firmware with Ghettoroot?

I don´t dare to update and not being able to root it anymore this way. I don´t want to trip KNOX.

C U

WeT-Klb

--------UPDATE--------

Today i updated via ODIN to N7105XXUFNI2 - and Need to say it seems the exploit used by Ghettoroot doesn´t work anymore.

I tried Version 0.3.2 and Networkingpro´s Version - both didn´t succeed. They just stuck after some time but don´t go on.

Now i switched back to 7105XXUFNE3 - and was able again to root with ghettoroot.

So in the Moment it seems NI2 can´t be affected anymore :(

Another data point on getting rooted

After failing to get ADB to connect and authorize in a bunch of ways, I finally got connected today.

I ended up with the Samsung drivers downloaded from their support site. v1.5.14.0.exe for me. (I'd previously failed with the (v1.5.45.0) but it could have been because of many other reasons...

I needed to get out of MTP mode as well. (may have been the culprit)

I disabled Windows AutoPlay (may have been the culprit along with the MTP mode above)

I used the 15 second ADB installer instead of the adb files in Ghetto root (that may not have mattered??)

I used the GhettoRoot.zip without any version associated with it. (not the v0.3.2.zip)

So, finally, thank you! I'm rooted with 4.4.2 ND7 and have my Titanium backup back up and running for the first time in ages.

I appreciate all the help!

I´m not sure if you refer to me. I tried the Version from user named "networkingpro".

I don´t have really a Problem with WIFI - only somtimes the phone thinks WLAN was disabled - but it still goes on working. In that Situation you can´t turn off or on WIFI - but it will work.

After restarting the sign appers again and WIFI can be switched again.

my first verizon phone

Guys,

I've rooted/flashed etc many Sprint and Att phones. I now have a used Verizon Note 2. Here are the stats:

4.4.2

Baseband - I605VRUFND7

Kernel - 3.0.31

Build Number - KOT49H.I605VRUFND7

HW Version - I605.06

If I've read correctly, I should be able to get rooted. Please respond to the next statements with a true or false below so I can eliminate any confusion:

True or False

I will not be able to flash a custom recovery like TWRP, CWM, or Philz.

I will not be able to flash any AOSP roms like Liquid Smooth, SlimRom, etc.

If I want to flash a TouchWiz based Rom I will have to install safestrap after I get rooted.

If I want to use AOSP based roms, I will need to get a different phone.

Just ran the steps,and root is confirmed - running foldermount now, and freeing up space on my internal memory ...

When I received my refurbished unit, I was VERY bummed about the root prospects, considering the latest OTA was pre-loaded. Thanks to ghetto root, I've got my root magic back:cool:

Is there any way I can look into putting a custom recovery onto this phone now? Or do we still need to wait for a bootloader unlock?

GhettoRoot - All-In-One

Everyone, please use this .zip from now on. Please test, and let me know how it goes. I have simplifed the root be a single click root method.

Steps:

Download and unzip file.

[*]Connect phone, ensure usb debugging is on, and device is authorized.

[*]Double click GhettoRoot.bat

Download - View attachment GhettoRoot.zip

In full disclosure I have no idea where the source for this came from, I just made it pretty, and tried to make it super easy. Credit goes to 25yvdgpo06 for finding it. This root very well may work any many other devices, including other Samsung devices. Looking at the source I dont see anything that should hurt another device. Worst case scenario it simply doesn't root it. Please let us know if you try another device with success.

Long time lurker but OP compelled my to finally make an account.

I've been needing to root my Verizon note 2 for AR unchained w/appradio 3.

I have never rooted any of my phones personally but have been fortunate to always know a buddy who can do it fairly quickly. If you don't mind and I'm sure answers are around this forum somewhere but here are a few questions before I begin.

1. Are the actual rooting files supposed to be on my pc or my phone

2. What program do I need to make a safe copy of my pre rooted phone and adb?

3. I'm literally below a noob on doing this what do I do on my computer when phones connected via usb. If there's anyone that doesn't mind spending a little time with helping walking me thru this I can give you my email and PayPal you funding for your time. I can't. Brick my phone my 2 yr old sons life depends on Adventure time via netflix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TCPDump:
Read my post right above yours... It literally spells it out. There have been a number of folks in this thread doing it, without issue. I literally made this a "one click root", which means you download it, extract it, run it. You will need to put your phone in usb debugging mode first. Other than that, it's cake.
