how to root my note2 7100 using cwm because I don't want to root it by flashing any kernel as its going to increase my binary counter, is there any proper way to flash it by using cwm as we used to do in galaxy s2....plz help...
thanx
Using CWM will increase your flash counter. So you're screwed either way.

but according to my knowledge until and unless we flash a kernel like cf-root, the binary counter won't increase, and I am quite sure about it, because I had rooted my galaxy s2 through cwm many times and my binary counter never increased until I flashed cf-root kernel...for that I an asking can the same be adopted for note 2..
Why nit just root using cf auto root then use triangle away to reset counter?

frankly speaking I am afraid of doing that, after reading the warnings that it might brick your phone, and moreover I don't have a usb jig to recover my phone if something goes wrong...
You're paranoid.
You won't brick your phone using any root method. Unless your PC dies midway, or you pulling the battery midway.
Plus even if that does happen. There are still ways to get it working again.
Take the plunge and do it. All the Note 2 users who have rooted cannot be wrong.

The simple fact that you have CWM installed (even if you don't flash anything through it) already means that your flash counter is above 0. Samsung's bootloader in note 2 has a checksum which raises the counter to 1 when it detects custom recovery. So if you're afraid that your flash counter will go above 0 if you flash something, don't be, it already is

I very well know what rooting is and how it's done in various ways, I had a s2...I had done all sorts experiments with it, I am afraid of using the "triangle away", because of warnings mentioned, for that reason I don't want to root the phone by flashing a custom kernel rather I prefer root it through cwm which won't increase my binary counter (I always used to root my s2 through cwm, and the binary counter never increased)
Well it doesnt work like that take it or leave it
What you could do though is seen as you was an s2 user which says you know what your doing is go search for the rooting thread were u can keep your counter at 0 I did copy the url but sod it I dont spoon feed

There's a guide in the General forums stickies on how to root via CWM, but that's obsolete now, as CWM + autoroot was released. But since you've used the old method, it will apply to you.
Since you've already flashed a custom recovery, like others have said, your counter is raised already. You're already past the point of no return.
If you're worried about the counter raising to 1, it's already too late. It makes no difference now.

S2 is an old phone and Note 2/S3 are new. Samsung and others have improved detection of root. Doesnt matter what root method u using and counter will raise by one. For each time u flash the phone.
Forget S2, that are old good time and now are totally diffferent.

Just use triangle away after root or download official rom and flash using odin mobile then factory reset it... thats what I did and I got root and no binary count

So I cant find the answer to this anywhere. People have been saying that triangle away for i317 (att note 2) should be used on i317 designed ROM. If you use triangle away on a att note 2 with a ported international ROM, it may bork or hard brick the phone. Is is fact or fiction?
For example, since all 4.1.2 based ROM for the att note 2 is based off the international version of the the note 2, should triangle away not be used on the att note 2 running the 4.1.2 international note based ROM?
I'm on clean rom intl port and have triangle away set to reset at boot and have never had an issue.

Got my interest piqued. My Galaxy S and S2 had the triangles after rooting and installing ROMs. But I don't see that on my Note 2 after...
1. buying it from AT&T
2. rooting it using http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method/
3. installing ROM Manger
4. flashing to N7105 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028166
My device does say that it's been modified (and I can't get OTA updates). I'm wondering, what is triggering the triangle to come on?
So I have finally found my answer. I just took a risk. It seems like as long as the triangle away app can see that model as SGH-i317, it will not cause a brick... at least this is my answer.

There's not a triangle. The app just clears the flash counter on our device.
Hello, there. (yes, I'm new here). So...
A few days ago I rooted my phone using CF's method and had installed TWRP. But now, I sorta don't want to be rooted anymore (yeah, yeah. ). But now, I'm confused. How do I;
Get back to stock recovery?
Unroot my device fully?
Any help for a noob on rooting (okay, on rooting a Samsung device; I've done it on an Inspire before :laugh: ) would be awesome!
P.S. I'm still running the stock ROM (as in out-of-the-box I317 with all of the AT&T stuff still installed), just not stock recovery.
I believe the supersu has an unroot option. I know it was mentioned in some of the threads dealing with the apk root method.

So, in this case, it's fine to reroot (just to flash stock recovery)?
You reroot to get stock recovery. Then you can go into super su and full unroot

And, is it absolutely necessary to use Triangle Away?
Only if you want to reset your counter ie return phone

Yes check your device status. If all rooted apps are uninstalled your status in settings should say match the picture posted at the end of the thread

The only app that I had installed (other than SuperSU) that required root was Goomanager (and I uninstalled that). SuperSU appeared to have removed itself after running the unroot process. Is it showing modified because I didn't run Triangle Away?
That might bw the reason. If you have stock kernal and stock recovery and stick rom just run teiangle away. You may want to check status after using triangle away and uninstalling triangle away

The thing is... I'm already unrooted. With that said, thank you for the step-by-step and for also helping me out with the process.
Just letting you know I think device status needs to be unmodified for you to get updates.

If that is the case, I can just always rerun the process and complete Triangle Away. Again, thanks for the help

Hello, I want to try and install Omega ROM 9.1 to my Note II (bought from Orange Slovakia). In 2 weeks I will send note II to service (bad cover) so I will need to unroot my device. Can you show me right way how to unroot? I need set counter to 0. Thank you very much.
See attachment please
If you are currently unrooted then its better to send it as soon as possible to service center. You can change the rom later as unrooting is a bit headache especially for people new to android rooting.

I'm a bit confuse here. Triangle away method doesn't work for me, i can't guet 0 to my counter. Stay on YES / 1.
There is any method beside buying the play version of Triangle away ? I want to get a full stock condition.
Try restoring stock recovery and kernel or stock rom altogether.

Already did the recovery stock and stock rom part. But how restoring my kernel ?
edit: Hooops, I did it wrong
After reading a post where the author has solved the same problem by making the whole process again, I tried again the triangle away part (with the v2.37 available here)... And It's working !
The first time I did not have the special boot screen, I don't know what I had done wrong, but I guess nothing had been done then. But everything is okay for me now !
But I'm still interested in this story of kernel ...
They will be able to see that you have a custom kernel. That means that you had the ability to flash kernel I.e. you rooted your phone.
From your pic it looks like you have stock kernel.
