How to root my new Note 2 i317 AT&T with 4.1.2 update?

I am having difficulty finding the thread here and I saw a few websites but not sure if I trust them. What is the best method, how-to for someone that has never rooted an android device before (done many iphones). Any good picture step-by-step procedures anywhere?
Thanks guys. I searched but had a hard time finding it here vs Google. Here is one I found, but unsure about it.

Search before jumping and make sure you are good with returning to stock. All of this info is in the forums already.

Thanks but that doesn't look like a step-by-step instructions on what I was looking for. :/

Now is this how we start the new year off....OP the information has been provided, just take your time and do your homework, give attention to detail, so you do not wrong your device.
Other Members just provide as you have done, and no need to bash, Thank You all.

I was going to say something mean but I decided not to.

I still don't see instructions anywhere on that page on how to do this root. Pretty sad I am getting better responses on other Android sites than this one. Plus what I do see is his rom has issues with 4.1.2 update.

You amaze me but I will try one more time to help.
Look at the link I gave you in post 2. Download the app in post 1 of that thread. Install it and follow the instructions from that thread. They are there and detailed. You press a few buttons and are rooted. There is no ROM on that thread.
I say this in all seriousness and am not trying to be mean, but you need to stop and think before you move forward. If you are having trouble reading this thread and the one I linked to you, then you probably don't understand what to do without causing damage. Read, read, read, read, and then read some more before you go any further. There are also numerous threads in this forum giving detailed step by step instructions.

This video might help you, it exlains the thread/app Gvndeb60 posted:
http://youtu.be/G2_zHqsC4BE

There is a guide on Android Central with videos may help too! Same for process for the 4.1.2 update.

If you are having trouble understanding All those easy steps that are laid out for you. You should do research before rooting. Some things include learning what you can do when you root your device. It won't take long if you have some background in editing your phone system. But by the looks of it your going to seriously mess up your phone. And even if you are getting better responses on other sites. If you don't learn to respect people here you will be confused because every site that talks about rooting or provides a rom will lead you back here. This community is huge so learn to embrace and read threads before attacking our fellow members.

just follow the video and you're good to go.

I did the root, but removed it since it broke my camera. So I need a root that does not break my camera and that doesn't require replacing those files as I saw online many not recommending it.

Do the root by itself. Don't patch the exploit, as that's what appears to break the camera. I believe there's an option to undo the patch.

Simple easy to follow took less than 5 minutes... as opposed to my htc inspire 4g which was a pain in the ass! Before you root anything ask whats the design goal..identify the risks and BACKUP everything and make sure you know how to restore it! Lots of incredibly talented folks here it's ok to not know what your doing but not ok to not know who to ask before bulling ahead and making an expensive mistake!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but people say to backup your device before you root. I thought that making nandroid or titanium backups required root... So how does one restore to an unrooted device without first rooting?

I've never done any sort of backups prior to rooting any phones in the last 3 yrs. Everything u need to unroot are available online.

Probably not before rooting. Using the Exynos Abuse apk, you will root in 5 seconds. It will put Super user on your phone and you can get Titanium Backup and then backup all user and system apps to your SD card etc. You can then debloat apps etc. You should probably uninstall the app with TB and keep it for a few days to make sure your phones works properly before deleting the app. Before flashing a ROM you should always backup incase something goes wrong you have something to flash back to.

about rooting. please help!

hi all I'm trying to root my phone but there is so many different ways to tour. I would like the simplest way to root but I want it to do everything that all rooting software would do. I've come across one click options and would like to do those since I don't have to use my computer. Please help! Thanks

you are so going to get bashed in here for asking that question. The expectation is that everybody reads everything they can and then if they are hung up on something they can post a question. I am a relative noob although I have lurked on this site for a few years. I don't bash anybody though.
I understand your frustration.
I simply flashed a single .tar file to my phone while my phone was in download mode. I felt it was very simple using windows on my Mac. There is the very simple Exynos exploit file somewhere here where you download it and basically install it. I thought that this Exynos installation did something to the camera app.
Hopefully, somebody here will help you determine what is best for you. I really haven't tried many methods of root. I like to stick with one I am familiar with since a lot things might go wrong if not done right.
I am not sure what you mean by having the root method do everything that all rooting software would do. When you root you are just gaining access to portions of your phones files that are locked when you buy it. If you want more 'stuff' then you would flash a custom rom after rooting

Thanks for not bashing me. I'm def a noob and I'm new to the android community. I moved from an iPhone to galaxy n2 so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for your help!

Check out Chainfire's method for rooting. It's very simple, there is even a video instruction going step by step. It took me 5 minutes and I came from an Iphone. Head on over to the Original android development subforum, you'll see it there. Good luck!

Google "exynos abuse" if you have not already taken the ota update.

I used the exynos abuse because I didn't need to use my computer to do it and it worked fine. But once I did the latest OTA update from AT&T, I lost root. So I did the Chainfire method. (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 )
t's really easy and took about 5 min.

You might find a few helpful things on the page I made here.. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs & Community Links

First, take a breath...

Just got my Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and haven't ventured into rooting it yet, BUT I did research here on XDA about rooting before doing it to my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and the one thing I want to mention is to take your time are read to confirm whether or not the procedures you're looking at are for the Note 2 AND for the variant you have. Using the wrong process (rooting, kerneling, installing custom rom) can cause all sorts of problems, so don't be impatient if you don't know what you're doing. And by all means DO A COMPLETE BACKUP before you do any rooting.
That said, when I did root my S2, it was a very easy process...took all of about 15 minutes to backup, root, install custom rom, etc.
Good luck...and let us know how you do!

Newbie to rooting...

Hi. Apologies in advance, since I am sure that this has been asked before. Anyway, I would like to root my GSM Galaxy Nexus, but I am a newbie to the whole rooting thing. I found a guide at the following site (I can't post links)...
galaxynexusroot DOT com/galaxy-nexus-root/how-to-root-galaxy-nexus-universal-guidegsmverizonsprintwindowslinuxmac/ ...
that seems to be simple enough (I really don't know where to begin). Is that guide a good reference point? I'm just worried about bricking my Nexus, and looking for the easiest method possible.
Thanks in advance!

Easiest way to root and install TWRP, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208863&highlight=wugfresh
Use the toolkit. Its hands down the easiest way and the method I had followed the first time myself. I am a Maguro owner myself! :good::good:

what are you talking about? it is awesome because you can always cry for help when you have no idea what happened to your phone.

If yu are a complete newbie, I suggest a Toolkit. I was and am a Linux user, so using command line is not a problem. But 1st time success helps you gather the courage to further dig into stuff!
So don't get me wrong when I suggested the toolkit.

easy guys, not wrong to begin with toolkit stuff. time will let him learn...

Rooting a Samsung Glaxy note 2 4G

Hi All,
Soon I will receive a Samsung Galaxy note 2 and I was going to root it as soon as I received it.
I was going to follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143479.
I understand I should be backing up the iemi will this work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915 for the n7105?
Also should I backup first then root or root then backup?
Also is there any other steps I missed?
Cheers

Look this too, its only for 4G (N7105), for rooting post#2
other tools you may find in post#4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849

What I really need is a guide which is step by step.
Can I follow the guide I used for the galaxy s3 4G?

Should I use this http://www.techgravy.net/one-click-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-s3-note/?
Is it safe.
Also after this should I then backup the iemi also?

I suggest you do as the person above you has posted seen as it's his thread and that's the way we learn, if your not comfortable doing it maybe a bit of reading, but Dr. Ketans threads are simple enough to follow

I don't know but why people so lazy to read simple one post.
They always seeking step 1 2 3 and get device rooted. though it is easy to make guide in 2 steps, 1.Download file and 2 flash with odin. But i never do this, i wish people should know what they are doing with device and what is the difference between different method of root. as well what is ill effect and what is needed post root. I can't explain everything in simple steps. They have to read if they really want to care their device otherwise there are many other guides are there, even you never know which recovery you have flashed OR your flash counter is raised and what steps you need to do to return to stock.
But there is no short cut to success, you have to learn if you caring your device and pocket.

[Q] Quick Question about Rooting S4

Hello,
I recently got Galaxy S4, and interested in rooting the phone. I have jailbroke my iPhone 4S. It was time for me to upgrade to Android (worthit).
What if I mess up rooting the S4, would be hard to restore it or something?
I don't understand about the stock thingy.
Thank you. Hope you guys reply my thread.

While there is a slight... very slight chance the root process will mess up, as long as you can get into download mode the phone should be recoverable. Basically, rooting the S4 is easier than any jailbreak I've ever used... well, except for that one web exploit and carries about as much risk. Hope that explains a little and puts it into perspective.

Alright Thanks for the respond. If incase, I messed up with the root. How would I restore to stock firmware?
I quickly googled it, it has the stock firmware download, but it requires root. *i am confused with that*
