A little confused as to which rooting method i need to use can someone please advise thanks
I've attached a pic of my system settings/build etc.
I'm getting diff answers frm diff pple
help
Thank you!
If you have access to Odin i'd recommend flashing over one of the pre-rooted packages.
You can use the ie22 GB rooting method according to Qbking77, and that way you won't need to ODIN or flash anything and lose your data.
Also next time post in Q & A so you don't get flamed

This is all I've been able to figure out. If you go to the one click root stickied post it links to a gingerbreak post that has a bunch of people posting that the gingerbreak method doesn't work for OTA upgrades.

The odin method does work... you have to odin a custom kernel to make cwm stick... then flash cwm with odin... then flash su.zip via cwm...

Honestly, since Rodderik responded to you in the one click root method thread, I would use the thread he linked you. You can't go wrong with anything he says, and Qbking's videos are always spot on as well. To be safe, I would do one of those. Back up all your apps and your homescreens and go from there.

But then someone else said it will not work in that same thread he linked me to so that confused me. This is my husband's phone i was asked to root so I dont want to mess it up.
Rodderik is one of the best Dev's we have. Ask for clarification or PM him if you want, but if it was me, that's what I would do.

The ei22 method is the same method for el30 and it most defenitely requires odin... but you don't lose any data...

Unzip and put file into PDA in ODIN and flash away! If you need ODIN, it is attached below.
*WARNING* DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION OR ANYTHING ELSE. ONLY AUTO-REBOOT AND F. RESET TIMER SHOULD BE CHECKED.
If you need more information about this file and what it is/what to do with it, read the stickies at the top of this forum to learn more about ODIN and what it is used for. This file is provided mostly for people who like me who prefer to odin a stock rom and tweak it themselves. It will also prove INVALUABLE from here on out for when you need to unroot your phone (send into t-mobile/samsung, just want it un-rooted).
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
I also attached the latest superuser and CWM recovery for those who want to root.
Put the recovery.tar in the pda slot and flash for CWM recovery.
Then install the attached superuser inside CWM recovery to have full root!
FYI: It's a known issue that superuser usually does not "stick" on the first try. This is with ANY ROM for our phones. Just keep flashing it (usually 2 to 3 times)until it says installation complete.
THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR DOWNLOAD/FLASH COUNTER (+)

NO, it clearly says ODIN on top.
Mr. X is making the flashable zip.
Powered by the SGSII
Nope i believe Mr. X is making that as we speak. This is for a full ODIN flash.
rooted?
Can't wait for your link, can I use CWM to flash? Is the firmware already rooted or
factory fresh one?
Wow you guys...just wow...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Will be factory fresh. Will be like any other stock rom, not rooted. Root it via odin like we have always done for all of our roms. I think it's best to just leave completely intact so we always have an option to get our phones back to 100% factory. The CW flashable zips and rooted custom roms are on their way.

An odin file is just that: an odin file. No offense if you knew what an ODIN file was you wouldn't be asking.
Whenever the upload finishes in 15 minutes or so, i will make a short description to go with it.

I just said mobile Odin was fine lol and no, it won't keep it because Odin formats the partitions. You will need to root via CF Auto Root or flash TWRP from Odin.

Does Mobile Odin flash the modem? Sorry, I'm coming from the GS2 and I know Mobile Odin has a problem flashing modems. Wondering if the same applies to the Note.
sorry for the noob question. I just got the note recently and am used to HTC phones. Anyway, will this work on a device that is not rooted? I believe my radio got messed up when I did a factory reset so I am looking for a way to fix it without rooting. I plan to use CF's autoroot later but I need this fix now. Thanks.

1 - Yes, just can't guarantee on the modem. (Based on E4GT experience, know that's been the only sticking point.)
2 - Yes. (The wipe is actually in a script contained in the flash.)
3 - Yes. (For now)
Didn't get to repack the LJC builds yet to avoid #3, let me see if I have time.
But even if I do they probably won't be uploaded until tomorrow at the earliest.

If you are on 4.1.2, you can flash back to whatever you want. If you're on 4.3 Jellybean, you probably have Knox, and CAN NOT flash down to 4.1.2 via Odin, or you will brick. If you want the 4.4.2 Sprint update, it's out in Tar format, so simply flash it through Odin and root away. It's very very simple. Takes about five minutes. But it DOES trip Knox, just so you know. Good luck.

I roooted it in December. No troubles. I tried several ROMS. I learned from doing and enjoyed "messing around" with the phone. My wife has exact phone and I thought it would be nice to update to the 4.4.2 so we each had identical phones with same ROMs. I unrooted and updated to 4.4.2. I have bad hearing and liked that I could change the Volume by editing the sound file. With the phone unrooted I can't hear too well and I miss the rooted phone. I tried the CF Auto root method and no luck. My question is can I use ODIN to install an older ROM and then root from there? My understanding is that ODIN wipes all and installs what you give it to install. I appreciate all the help.

No, you are on Kitkar boot loader and can not down grade to an older rom through Odin. Rooting is very simple in kitkat. It can be done through philz recovery and play store method, or if you don't want to do any other flashing after root, you can use towelroot.

I thank you for your help and information. I downloaded the files and will try it after holiday. I'd hate to not have a phone when we go away. After rooted first thing Ill do is boost my volume. Can not hear too well from my job. I'll let you know how it goes. I am slow witted but love fooling with stuff. When I was rooted I had CM10, then tried CM11. Went back to CM10. When I unrooted I even "soft bricked" phone. I found info on how to "unbrick" I lucked out. Then took each update in an hour till I was up to 4.4.2. Then realized my error unrooting. I appreciate all the help and information form this group and individuals. I like the fact that I can learn something and maybe one day I can help someone else.

Thanks from bottom of my heart
I got home from weekend getaway and rooted my phone again.Thanks to you. In case anyone else is reading. I used Odin 3.07 and Philz touch 6.41.6-d2lte.tar.md5. After Odin finished my S3 rebooted and no root. I then ran Odin again but unchecked auto reboot. I then went into recovery and Philz was there. Followed the reboot with root. Then updated SuperSu and it disabled Knox. I will now flash the volume increase. I am very grateful for your help, information and patience!

After Updating to the newly updated firmware for both Sprint and the Boostmobile/VM variant, I am very sure a lot like me are facing difficulty with any workable method of rooting these new firmware. I spent up to three days searching OPs and cant actually find any guaranteed solution. So I am hoping this thread would help us find all the answers we need at one place. Those who have successfully rooted NJ2/NJ3 should share their method with us.

I saw the guide. Towelroot no longer works , as we all know.
I happen to use Linux as an OS, and the Odin alternatives didn't work for me (it's been a while so my memory of it was a little fuzzy) I didn't just give up after the first try or anything, I've asked question about it before.
I'm wondering if there could be an alternative to Towelroot at this time. Ideally I'd rather not have to rely on some program on my PC. I'm not afraid of the terminal, either.
Yes I also faced several failures before I managed to get my phone rooted. I used chainfire's autoroot for sph710 and it worked so you might want to give it a try

One is a Flashable Zip...not sure if I have used it, but it should work and the other you must unzip and flash using Odin...I know that one works.
I used Chainfire's CF-root method but I also did not care about tripping the flash counter because this is a used phone from eBay and I have no warranty to worry about.
Well I just didn't care about warranty. Anyway it worked for me but I've Knox tripped

Yes, After about 24 hrs spent on how to root the NJ2 update, I used the chainfire's auto root "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip" for build ND8 and it worked on my GS3.
Thanks for your thread, Seeing that you got it work successfully I got confidence to do it with the ND8 autoroot.
