Hi guys
I've just purchased this phone so have just come over from the EVO 3D section. I've actually had 5 HTC handsets in a row before this (stretching back to the WinMo days) and tbh I'm finding some things confusing since I was so used to HTC.
Basically, because of those idiots at Sky, who made it so the SkyGO app won't work unless you are unrooted, I'm considering removing root from my phone in order to use the app. I've tried looking but I'm getting confused because of all the different variants of this handset. So I was wondering if someone can tell me how to go about rooting a N7105 model which was purchased in the UK, and where the find the necessary stock firmware?
Thank you in advanced
Just find a stock firmware for your device and flash it via odin.. and it will unroot.. make sure to follow the instructions in flashing a new rom

You can find it here.. http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/... just type you device model in the search box.. then look for the firmware you want
ex. ( GT-N7105United Kingdom (EE)2012 SeptemberAndroid 4.1.1 N7105XXALIJ ) if this is what you want download the pda data and flash it using odin..
I guess you know how to do this part right?? If no I can still give you a hand ..

Hi
Thanks for the help mate. I've only just started using odin since I switched to Samsung. The one thing I could use help with is how to extract a .tar from a zip file?
Cheers
Sorry for the late reply mate..I guess 7zip can do it.. you can download it from filehippo.com or if you have winrar installed in your pc you can use it

I have winrar but couldn't find out how to do it? Am I missing something really simple? Just couldn't find the tar file to extract, and I'm baffled.
Simple way: Open SuperSU/Superuser app, click Full Unroot
Oh yeah I forgot haha you can do full unroot just go to super su and settings then full unroot ..hehe

I have an LTE version though, so I'm not sure your link will work with the N7105 version.

I'm rooted, on Tmo US, and on the Koodo ROM.
Do I have to be completely stock to receive the update either OTA or manually through Kies?
Best to be on stock. You will have problems updating using anything other than stock. I think you need stock recovery too.

The new L4 radio is up for download in the Radio thread under development. I flashed it no problem, haven't actually made a phone call with it though.

You don't need stock recovery to update via Kies, but you will have to reinstall custom recovery and reroot afterward. No such issue if you just flash the radio, though.

Hello I'm planning on getting a note 2 today. Is it good to root? I was reading that you don't get OTA update or idk what else. But I like rooting so what do u guys think?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
You need to ask yourself why do you want to root? What are you going to if your device is rooted? Because from your post it doesn't sound like you know what you gain from rooting, and if you can't do the things you need to without rooting, then by all means root. But if you're going to root just to root without reason then don't root.
I like rooting I like ROMs I like hot spot I like testing ROMs I like everything with root so I guess getting a ota isn't going to be a problem since with a ROM I get the latest like 4.2?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Ota? You don't even need it cause there are many roms with newest update and kernel in our note 2 community so root is always the best

As of today, you can easily unroot using the toolkit or thru odin. No big deal. Future updates, who knows... but I'm sure the devs on this forums will come up with something. They always do.
I rooted and unrooted quite easily.

well if you use root just for apps only then mrrobinson's rom is good choice but if you use root to flash rom or zip file in recovery then just root normally...you also dont have to worry about losing insurance because there is the thread that helps you with unroot enjoy bro

I would prefer if it was as close to stock as possible, all I change is touchwiz to Apex to give me custom rows and columns nothing too fancy
Currently have 4.1.2 stock
I would also need the camera in full working order
Thanks for your advise

Download directly from your device then boot into recovery. Then simply wipe / factory reset. Then flash! Please make a backup before doing so.

Well, I have tried a lot of roms and the best i have came upon was the omega rom. nearly as close to stock as the only change i have found was the toggles icon and color was changed to a blue one and if you want awesome battery go for the perseus kernel 36.something
I've never used ODIN to flash only to root

I did wait about 5 minutes when i turned on phone after flashing this new ROM should I have given it more time?
5 minutes should be enough. did you try checking the MD5 for it?
