Hey there friends,
~ To begin, I just purchased my Galaxy Note 2, From Wind , in Canada, *( Model: SGH-T889V )
and I would like to root this device, yet I am a noob when it comes to android & rooting.
I have read of a user Bricking this model when flashing the t-mobile toolkit and is unable to find stock firmware to restore and such.
~ Would anyone kindly help me out with rooting this model?
Thanks,
Also has anyone rooted this model yet?

Hello everyone hopefully you can help me out. First of all is this the right Galaxy Note 2 forum, there are so many.
Basically I have the Galaxy Note 2 from Rogers Canada. Under model number it says SGH-I317M. Is it right to post here? what is the galaxy note N700 and N705? Which is mine?
Now that that is cleared up. I was wondering if the process for factory reseting is the same as my old Xperia. Forexample lets say I rooted and installed a custom rom. All I had to do on my xperia was flash a stock .ftf file and it was exactly like it was from the factory. Is there something similar for the galaxy note 2? Can someone explain it for me please and is there a flashable file out yet for rogers?
Thanks in advance
Hello, I recently got my mittens on a Galaxy Note II. Now, I want to root it.
But I think that it's locked to Telenor, can I still root it?
If I can root it and you feel like it, please do leave a link

I posted this in the Sprint Galaxy Note II forum. Edit : I can't remove the other thread, sorry for that...
So my question is that what I need to know before rooting a operator locked phone... Mainly if it's possible, the how I can find out by myself.
I just bought the ATT Note 8.0 LTE SGH i467 and want to root it so I can remove the crap att put on it. Now looking in the root information I see it wants to know whether its an n5100 n5110. I have the ATT Note 8.0 lte which in about tells me its the SGH i467. How do I find the N number for the device? If I read correctly from the root toolkit here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033.
Can someone point me to the correct root procedure for this device. I have looked through these forums and am coming up blank.
TIA
I don't think anyone has found a way to root the i467 yet. The N5120 is the international note 8 with lte, but I'm not sure if selecting the 5120 in the toolkit will work for your i467.

Hi!
I'll watch this thread because I plan to buy one i467m from Bell and want to make sure that we will be able to root it!
Seems that it is slow to see some developements from developpers... Is it because it still too much a new product?
I just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (model: SGH-T889V) from my local WIND Mobile carrier in Canada as a backup device. To my knowledge, this is the same variant which is used by T-Mobile. I'm told the device hardware supports LTE but since WIND Mobile is not a premium carrier, Samsung has crippled this feature.
I have a Note 3 and after unlocking the device, I was able to use chainfire's method for ROOTING the device, installing TWRP recovery and then flashing with the Telus Mobility ROM (as all Canadian Note 3 devices are the same variant: SM-N900W8).
My concern is I am new to ROOTING/FLASHING and have searched the forums but am looking for concrete advice so I do not end up bricking my device. I am currently running Android 4.1.2 (stock from WIND at day of purchase) and when I go into the regional carrier settings, I do not see the regional code for Telus (TLS). I did see this on my Note 3 but I did not look until after unlocking and rooting so maybe it will not display until the proper ROM is loaded.
My questions are:
1) Can I use the same version of ODIN I have downloaded when ROOTING/FLASHING my Note 3?
2) Can I flash the same version of TWRP I did for my Note 3 or is TWRP device dependent? If I need a new version, could someone post a link for my model: SGH-T889V?
3) Can I flash the Telus ROM for their Note 2 variant (like I did my Note 3) or will this brick my device? If not, what ROM can I flash so I have LTE capability?
With my Note 3, it was straight forward! All I did was ROOT, FLASH TWRP recovery, install the Telus SM-N900W8 ROM, enable the regional setting for TLS and voila, I had LTE. I'm going to assume it's a little more difficult with the Note 2 but answering my questions and the guidance you provide would be much appreciated and help in my process. Thanks!

Click to expand...

Note that it is an i not a 1.
It seems that for the SGH-i257M [the Canadian edition] there is no root process available, at least not yet
Phone I got is i257 different model from I257m
