Develop Bugs

Been gone a while...Have a "yes" noob ?

Good evening. I havent been on here in a WHILE since I got rid of my htc EVO. I am looking for the new and easiest way to root/unlock my epic 4g touch please... I was reading around a few and some of them mess your wifi up and I need mine for work purposes. I would be flashing Cyan9 of course after I root the phone. I do apologize for the "noob" Where can I find the way to root question. Thanks again

It only takes minimal reading to find out how to root this phone. But you can use this link. Please follow the instructions! It may look complicated, but it really isn't.

You can't go wrong....

On phone so can't link, but if you go to develop section, there's 1 master sticky. In there is a ton of sticky posts, find the one on rooting. After that go to the cyan thread and read the first 2 pages. Then go to q and a questions with anything leftover. 10 min of reading and you'll be way ahead of where you are now. Good luck

Sfhubs auto root. If your flashing cm9 you'll need to add the EL26+cwm kernel to flash.

Just make sure you thoroughly read and follow the installation instructions for whatever ROM you are going to flash and always ask questions before you take any step you are unsure of. Don't take shortcuts or disregard any instructions.
There are so many people in this forum who are willing to help if only asked.
Happy flashing and good luck!

Im good to go! Thanks. Now the only thing its my "superuser" app is saying it has an update. I was reading some of the reviews on it and people said dont update. What should I do?

Whats best way to successfully root N2

Ive seen people say certain methods aren't good. Who can steer me in best direction on this please.

Im not at my computer right now, but the recommended method of rooting is:
The root toolkit. Its very easy to do bro. Just follow and read.

To be a bit more clear.. There indeed can be many kinds of routes, some can reset your counter, and I believe some don't. Counter is a number that changes if you root your device so T-Mobile knows you messed with it. If your counter gets reset, they can't tell if you rooted or not.
I'm not on the T-Mobile network, so I didn't really care which. Head over to the developer section of this device category and read the thread by 'Simplelife' on how to root! Pick a method best for you. I personally used option 2.

Just picked up 2 of these T-Mo Note 2's last weekend. I just used the Galaxy Note2 ToolKit v3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957720 Just follow the on screen instructions, and make sure you read all the options. It wasn't as easy as unlocking and rooting my Nexus... but all I had to do is click one more option lol!

Thanks everyone for input. I used toolkit v3 and it worked flawlessly. Got root, recovery, and jedi x11. Friggin awesome.

How do I find the root toolkit?

I think the easiest method would be to flash TWRP and then flash superzu via TWRP.

You can install very useful apps that require root access for example like titanium backup, better battery stats, rom manager, root explorer.....
And also you can install roms and kernels.

your phone your choice

Benefits of rooting? Basically none for me. Yeah sure you can play with stuff. Install custom roms... void your warranty etc
I always rooted and installed custom roms but decided to go stock and only bother updating roms when updates are officially released and havent missed root one little bit.
It greatly depends on what your trying to achieve. If getting stuff done with no disruption, stability and an intact warranty are important to you then stay stock. If you enjoying tinkering, flashing "new" roms etc then go for it!
I was burned though, i got the complete piece of crap that is the htc one x last year. Voided my warranty with htc dev unlock THEN found out the phone had many issues due to awful build and quality control. I then vowed to never buy htc again. Bought an s3 then an lte note 2 and wont be looking back

You can make the phone you just paid £100's for, yours. i.e, getting rid of bloatware, unused apps that came on the phone.
I'm new to rooting/flashing roms, kernels etc but i can tell you... Do your research before thinking you're god. If you're unsure how to do it, research it.
When you 'think' you know how to do it, read more. Only do things when you are 100% sure you can.
I've fully customized my Galaxy s3 and never looked back. My phone is MINE

Glad that you realize theres nothing like a good root.

I wouldn't sweat rooting until you find an app that you want that requires root.
There are plenty though. My root apps:
Afwall+ - firewall
catlog - browse logcat (for debugging apps)
cerberus - security program
LBE security master - block apps from using various permissions
multi window manager - use any app in multiwindow
quickboot - nice boot program, makes it easy to boot into recovery mode.
titanium backup - backup/restore your phone or programs
xposed installer/settings - change dpi for individual programs
directory bind - Put game data on external SD card so they don't fill your phone up.
And of course, install roms and junk.
Changing/randomly adding things is more customizable if you have root - cool bootup movie, lightsaber sound when you pull out the stylus, etc etc.

Yes, you will trip the Knox flag, currently no method to reset it. TWRP is fine, just do some reading about restoring backups.. If done incorrectly, you will experience what's been coined "The Brickloop"

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.
My response to you was a gentle reminder that reading is a good thing.

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard.

Damn man!! Look harder and you will find it. Hell Google search will give you several results. If you can't do either of those just Google kingo root it does work for 4.3. Next time look before posting. There must be a dozen stupid post just like this already in general and q&a.

Use a program (for Windows) called Kingoroot.
First turn USB debugging on in developer settings, then go to your homescreen.
Start the mrogram, wait until it says that your device is connected and press then the root button.
You should be rooted + the KNOX counter stays 0.
