TWRP seems to be more functional over cwm from me using both in the last year.

thanks! worked on my Fido GS4
Which method is preferable, Motochopper or CF-Auto-Root. I'm not concerned which is easier or faster, just wondering if they gain ROOT in different ways and if one method has pro's compared to the other.
I know CF-Auto-Root doesn't flash a custom recovery, but that is easy enough with GooManager.
I would recommend to use this method that work fine on my bell s4 and didn't trip the counter and keep mine status official.

After that if you need to root, follow this guide!
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/team-epics-root-from-recovery.html
Changelog
v5 released 7/9/2012
Adds kexec support using source built Sprint kernel
v4 released 6/30/2012
Located the bug preventing /data/media from being exluded. The internal sdcard will no longer be included in nandroid backups, so you may freely use the space without creating excessively large backup files.
v3 released 6/29/2012
Rebuilt and backups re-tested
Built from Sprint SGS3 binary kernel
Adds volume key scrolling
Adds support for external sdcards
v1 released 6/22/2012
Built from AT&T SGS3 I747UCALEM binary kernel.
TODO list
Fix backup datestamp.
Does it have external SD support?
Unless I miss my guess (I haven't rooted yet, I am waiting a bit longer to see if they find a way to do it without tripping the sensor), you can change what the phone mounts the external sdcard as in the vold.fstab to whatever makes you happy. Worked that way on the Atrix anyway.

Glad to see you have switched over to the SGS3 as well my friend. Still keeping my Atrix as a full time tablet in the lapdock...
EDIT: Hope to see a nice Aura stock ROM for this SGS3 from you hopefully...
Thanks for the link.
tried it on my Samsung Galaxy SIII S3 SGH-i747m and it went A+++++++++++++
Rooted + CWM.
Have a nice day
I can also confirm that this works (AT&T).
DoCoMo
For some reason it did not work fully on my DoCoMo Japan SGS3. It flashes "Recovery Booting...." then boots into ICS or hangs until I pull battery.
Rogers SGH-I747M
Worked perfectly on my Rogers SGH-I747M.
One issue, though, and I reported this also in the other thread about CWM Recovery on the AT&T unit ... is the fact that all my Nandroid backups are dated 1970-01-01. Strange!

Not working for me. Flash goes fine, then I got a black screen and a vibrate then a reboot when trying to get into recovery. I try re-download the file and reflash (3 times) with the same results all the time.

to access recovery you have to hold VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER and then when the phone turns on you stop holding power and keep holding the other 2 keys

You can root without any problems using the Note2 Toolkit by going to the root/unroot section and selecting OPTION 4. This will flash the cwm recovery which is known to work and let you install the root zip file (make sure to install the drivers and test them first though).
I know have a stock kernel from the tmobile variant, have rooted it and adding full support to the toolit now. Should be up and running today some time.
Mark.

Well i took the leep on my SGH-l317m rogers/att note 2 and flashed bigbiff's twrp recovery he made for me, via odin then supersu.zip via twrp and all went well. also flashed Chainfires cwm6 recovery note2 and went well also no issues so far! counter does go up of course but im sure our great friend Chainfire will fix that eventually. support his work and grab triangle away pro ;D
big thanks to bigbiff and Chainfire and Oogar whom ever else involved!:good:
UPDATE UPDATE UPADATE! Triangle away and Mobile Odin have been Updated by Chainfire and worked perfectly on i317m and i317, My Binary back 0 and Samsung official with triangle away. This still will not allow OTA its for warranty purposes only!! I'll say it again support his work m8's purchase pro version of his apps!
As mentioned earlier by Chainfire CF-auto root has also been released for i317m and i317.
CF-auto root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 <----- Please use this method now posted by Chainfire to root your device according to model type!
QUICK GUIDE:
Flash your model of CF-Auto root via Odin using Pda tab nothing else ticked and done! ----- i317m&i317 CF-Auto-Root files are located here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ Then flash your choice of Recovery either CWM or TWRP
Link to Odin3_v3.04 https://www.dropbox.com/s/838dbz556cgex9d/Odin3_v3.04.zip
For CWM Recovery (cwm6-recovery-i317.tar.md5) https://www.dropbox.com/s/yuj7caehux74h9u/cwm6-recovery-i317.tar.md5 Flash using Odin once again with pda only nothing else ticked!
To Install TWRP please use Goo manager app from the play store! much easier method of installation! click menu then install recovery.
Link to TWRP Recovery thread Thanks bigbiff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981198
Always do a backup of your rom right away within recovery first before flashing anything else!!!
What is CF-auto root?: CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Remember everyone, like Chainfire said the more people that request source code from Samsung for our devices the better!! Do it here!
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=inquiry
UPDATE: Also the FAST DORMANCY toggle by Gokhanmoral on the market also works stock rooted so far! :thumbup:
(More stable data connection and better battery life.)
Here is the root process I took before CF-auto root was released of course:
-Reboot device to download mode: volume down/home/power wait for mode to pop up, then volume up to start
-Open Odin and select PDA tab, Open file (cwm6-recovery-i317.tar.md5).
-Connect device to PC, and wait till device successfully added to com port
-Flash
-Do a nand backup of your stock rom with TWRP or CWM first, than flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip.
-Reboot and now you are rooted

Is it a permanent root?
Also, as someone asked earlier, can you issue step-by-step instructions?
I installed Goo Manager, and then went into menu>Install OpenRecoveryScript
After selecting "Yes" at the first prompt, I get a new screen asking if I'm sure about installing the script. The filename is openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0ltecan.img
Is that the file for the Rogers version?
Secondly, assuming it installs the TWRP recovery, which I prefer, how do you then install supersu or superuser?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
P.S. PERMANENT ROOT is critical for me ... as I think it would be for most users.

Yes the openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0ltecan.img is the one for our devices I gave all my required info to bigbiff for him to add our devices. After that installs do a clean backup no info like Google etc of stock rom with TWRP recovery, than make sure supersu0.97.zip is in root of phone or external sd card then flash that using TWRP. Now you have full root!

Oh my good lord. He's talking about making a nandroid of the stock firmware. Name it stock toucbwizz or whatever the firmware is named. And keep it. That's all he's trying to say.

Well i took the leep on my SGH-l317m rogers/att note 2 and flashed bigbiff's twrp recovery he made for me, via odin then supersu.zip via twrp and all went well. also flashed Chainfires cwm6 recovery note2 and went well also no issues so far! counter does go up of course but im sure our great friend Chainfire will fix that eventually. support his work and grab triangle away pro ;D
big thanks to bigbiff and Chainfire and Oogar whom ever else involved!:good:
UPDATE: Also the FAST DORMANCY toggle by Gokhanmoral on the market also works! :thumbup:
Here is the root process I did:
-Reboot device to download mode: volume down/home/power wait for mode to pop up, then volume up to start
- -Open Odin and select PDA tab, Open file (cwm6-recovery-i317.tar.md5 or openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-t0ltecan.img.tar) <-- :This TWRP was made for the Canadian note 2 (Product Build: t0ltecan), not sure if ATT product build name will be the same but something tells me it will be (t0lteatt), have to wait for its release. Choose one or the other whichever you desire.
-Connect device to PC, and wait till device successfully added to com port
-Flash
-Do a nand backup of your stock rom with TWRP or CWM first, than flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip.
-Reboot and now you are rooted

Many thanks for such a quick reply. I understand everything except "do a clean backup no info like Google etc."
Can you explain that statement? I know how to do Nandroids (have done 100s). It's the "no info like Google etc." that confuses me.
Thanks,
Peter

by any chance did you manage a clean backup of your rogers rom with TWRP before rooting? was hoping someone can help me get a clean backup of a non rooted rogers rom
Just to let everyone know, the Note 2 LTE (including T-Mobile) will be getting official CyanogenMod 10.1 builds!
Here's the link where the builds will be available: http://get.cm/?device=t0lte
And here's the thread in AT&T forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105917
Nice! Thanks for the heads up dude.
This solidifies my belief that the Note 2 is undoubtedly the best phone in the world.
Wow just flashed this and my phone will not boot at all. FML...
Fixed. :thumbup:

The only reason I've ever used CyanogenMod on my previous device was because of software issues. To date, I can see no reason for even a custom ROM on my Note II let alone a beta ROM.

AFTER flashing?
Downloaded and tried to flash via CW three different times and installation aborted each time. I wiped data davlik and cache so I have no clue wtf is wrong but I need that 4.2!!!
I really didn't mean for this thread to become a support thread. If you guys are having problems flashing or booting, you didn't follow the instructions. Re-read all the information and try again following the instructions exactly.

Been rooting and flashing since the G1 and never had installation abort in the middke of a flash but once. I read the directions and did exactly as posted four times now. Idk what the issue is. I am currently on Jedi X rom. Maybe I should flash stock then retry it?

You don't need cwm I flashed perfectly fine with twrp and have no problems at all haven't tried Bluetooth since I don't use it but it States that it's a bug anyway.
Fandroid93 download goomanager and you can install the latest twrp from there. Or download rommanager and should be able to get cwm from there.

What version phone do you have? Some Canadian versions require the updater script to be modified to remove the version checks, everything flashes fine after that and works as normal but they forgot to add the version numbers in the check.

I've been a long time cm fan until 4.1 TW. That being said I had to try the official nightly and I gotta say it's real cool. 4.2.1 changes with com's twist is very nice. Dare I say it might even be snappier than stock

root: there are several methods to root first and mostly recommended flash Philz recovery for the D2Lte in Odin just make sure your on the latest one then root your stock rom with the option under Philz settings called Re-root(SuperSU) or you can use any recovery and flash the SuperSU zip from Chain fire or you can just use TowelRoot for the actual rooting process then download SuperSU and BusyBox from the PlayStore

When I did root checker on Towelroot it came back as not rooted. Same with SRS. I'll look into Philz this weekend when I can spend a whole day making sure it's done correctly.
Philz will do it guaranteed. Just gotta install supersu from play store

did you uncheck the Auto-Reboot in Odin and manually turn off your phone and then booting it manually into Philz Recovery and then using the option under Philz settings called Re-root System (SuperSU) ?

I picked up one of the Spark enabled S3s as well, I Odin'ed the latest Philz set to check for root and to root in Phil's, rebooted and installed SuperSU on the play store. Had zero issues getting root on stock. Which version of Philz are you using? Have you tried to flash any ROMs? There are a myriad of AOSP based ROMs too choose from.
Do you believe it will work for my version? Could you post the links you used to get everything please? You were successful and i just want to be suren
Also. Im usint Haimdall on Linux Mint. Anyone know od any issues or special procedure.
Thanks you guys for all the help

if Philz doesn't work, since you'll have it installed here is the Stock NDC pre-rooted rom that you can use Philz to flash

I don't remember at this point. When I went to the page to DL the Philz data there were several versions, I grabbed the one with the highest number (appearing to be the most recent).

The latest is philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip make sure it's that one since it's the one I used
I've tried all these
http://www.itsaboutmobile.com/2013/10/android-rooting-software.html
Except the ones that cost. No dice. Philz could stand one source with a more detailed instruction set than "Load, run, done". I just want to eliminate certain intrusive apps without having to become an Android master programmer in the process..
Suggestions on custom ROMs for SPH-L710T
Any one have any ideas. I heard Conquest Singularity 9.4 is great, BUT there are radio and MMS issues. I also heard about the axis coming UN calibrated. Any ideas? I have rooted with Philz Touch latest no problem. I would tell anyone now with this model that it is safe to root with Philz. I used JODIN the online variation of ODIN. Worked no problem. It wanted a PIT file. I downloaded the PIT from the phone using Heimdall. Then I loaded SuperSU Pro 2.01 and again, no problem. I really only need the HotSpot to work now. I would like a custom ROM that is leaner and faster, but at least a working HotSpot.

Singularity is a awesome rom. I ran it for quite a while with minimal problems(most was just user error) As for AOSP I have been using the CM11 M10 Snapshot, will excellent results.
Philz will root it. Why hes havin issues, is beyond me. I just rooted 4 710t's with philz via odin.
Yes, the rotation is jacked up with everything but stock. Theres a bunch of guys workin to find a fix. Tried various kernels and such but a solution hasnt been found that im aware.
Hotspot- wifi router 6.0 in playstore works. Thats verified, on stock. Its not free, but its cheap.
Hope that helps.
