Hello all,
Total newb trying to root the note 2 att I have- its in build JZO54K ALK7. I noticed from the forum post 'mskip's
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V3.1.7 "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779
that the root capability for my specific build was just released via version 3.1.9 of this program. So does that mean I have to download a new version of the file? When I execute the toolkit application and when it says "check for new updates" and I say yes, it just times out- I suspected this is because I haven't donated. Is there a way to be able to download the 3.1.9 without donating? I am trying to use the TWRP program, but if I go into it and when they ask what device it is available for, my i317 note 2 device is not available in the list.
I am willing to donate but I am still a little unsure on how to go about it, and I also wanted to make sure everything works with my note 2.
Maybe some more help on how to go about updating and installing the new toolkit for my note 2 will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
From what I read you don't need to buy the paid version in order to root.

Well right, I understand that- but what I was wondering was even for the free version, if I can use the current version to root my 4.1.2 device, or do i need to follow some procedure to manually upgrade the toolkit? Or do I not have to worry about it?

Hello,
I tried looking thru the forum to find my answer but I couldn't find anything regarding rooting my Galaxy Note 2 build JZ054K.I317UCAMC3
So when I run the Galaxy Note2 Toolkit V4.1.0
I get to the part that ask you to find your device build and carrier I get only 2 options under the AT&T Carrier.
51. Android 4.1.1 Build ALJ2
52. Android 4.1.2 Build ALK7
Which one do I select since they don't match my build?
Here are the details to my phone.
Samsung Galaxy note 2
Model: SGH-I317
Android Version: 4.1.2
Build:JZ054K.I317UCAMC3
Hope someone has encountered this problem and can answer my question.
Thank in advance!

Root it using cf root method. Read first page and flash cfroot for l317 your phone. You will need to use Odin to flash cfroot.all filles needed can be found n first page.

Hi im new to the nexus scene and i have some questions so pls help me if you can:
1.Can my nexus 7 32gb wifi only edition bought from america get updates when i bring it home to europe?
2.Is rooting a nexus device really worth it? because i want to keep stock rom because its stable and the only thing im changing is the kernel.
or flash stock images if they can be installed with a custom kernel.
3. Also can i root it if i update it to the latest update (Current version is JWR66N)

May I ask something as well?
For a nexus, flashing a custom kernel requires root or unlock bootloader?
What is the use of unlock bootloader on a nexus device?
I came from a sony phone and that require unlocking bootloader to install custom kernel..not so sure about nexus.

Well you need to unlock your bootloader in order to root. I think you do need to unlock. But unlocking the bootloader is super easy so I don't see a reason not to.

BE CAREFUL of updates. Newer updates change the touchscreen driver!
If the touchscreen is working perfectly out of the box, DON'T UPDATE OTA.
If it works out of the box, I would recommend not updating and/or just flashing an updated custom rom without the touchscreen updates.

My tablet automatically downloaded the update and there is a reminder in the notification bar. Is there away to remove the notification without installing the update?

You will experience ghost touches or just check it by using an apk yamtt if you have issues..i think you can return it as long as your warranty isnt void yet

I have been reading the past couple of hours and i am sure i want to root but i read that if you update your nexus the bootloader will be updated and some partitions will too i think so my question is should i root JWR66N or update it to the latest version and then root? (Btw i will install CleanRom and i want to know if i can because i have old bootloader and partitions and stuff) Srry if confusing.

You may be in the wrong forum. JWR66 is the firmware for Nexus 7(2012). Is that what you have?

Some user who didn't have the problem have reported problems after the update. But not everyone so I'm not sure.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, fellas.
No offense to the folks running good versions of the UK 4.2.2 firmware, but since the U.S. version is out does anyone have that available to install on a a rooted but stock N5110 wifi note 8?
www androidcentral com/android-422-now-available-wifi-galaxy-note-8-kies-and-ota
I don't want the UK version (nothing against UK), but I can't seem to find the US one on the forums. Can someone link me if it is available? If not, just confirm that it isn't available yet and I'll just have to unroot and re-root.
Thanks
US stock firmware 4.2.2 is not available.

My US GT-N5110 Note 8.0 was updated to 4.2.2 through the setup menu last week. I found a couple issues with it. I would rather to stay with 4.1.2.
not sure why you can't just upgrade to the US 4.2.2 via Kies and then just root it? I can see if you were asking for a deoxed zipalign stock version, but since you didn't mention anything of that... just unroot and turn your 4.1.2 back to stock, and load up Kies and upgrade to 4.2.2 then root it.

no. it is available....where did you guys come up that it is not?
First I was talking about a version to get that was downloadable on my own not via ota or kies.
I rooted but i am not running custom rom or recovery... Kept everything else stock.
And I can't unroot and update via ota because I get message about my device being modified still after I use voodoo rootkeeper. Anyway I am at a loss on how to update now anyway and I really don't want to use a custom rom. .

I have 2 Note 8.0s (GT-N5110). One is running CM10.2 and the other WAS running that CivZ ROM; now it's running stock 4.2.2 with root. I go back and forth between original ROM with these 2 units. Just using Kies going back to stock. and they are US version of 4.2.2

it is at http://www.sammobile.com/, go search your device number...make sure you download the right version. If you have N5110 US WiFi, you should be downloading "N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_XAR.zip", unzip it, when you unzip, you should end up N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5, and then use odin to flash it...remember, this is stock firmware, so if you device rooted, you will loose...
Hey guys
I know its probably been asked a few times before but i just want to make sure i've got the right stuff to upgrade my P600. Heres my circumstances....
1. Un-rooted and would like to remain that way (for now)
2. P600 note 10.1 running MJ6 firmware
3. Living in the UK
Anyway, i've downloaded ODIN v3.09 but im not sure on which region MK1 update would be best to go for? If possible could someone post the link to the one most suited for me (I'm thinking US) and a guide relevant to what i'm doing with this device and update.
Cheers lads,

Hi,
Samsung updates go alphabetically, J, K, L if you follow me. ML1 is the latest, Taiwan region but it's fine. (I'm UK as well using ML1)
Use this guide, there's links as well. Ignore the bit about having root in the first place it's fine just follow the guide in the second post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618509
In that thread there are mirrors for stock firmware because Samsung ones are very slow.
Hope I helped :thumbup:

Cheers mate, seems simple enough
Will it wipe all data on my tablet? Also alot of people recommend doing a full wipe after the update. Is this a must or is it just like PC's with changing graphics card drivers (Just to start fresh?)

It shouldn't wipe data unless you do it yourself. I've updated myself without wiping but it is best to wipe data to prevent any issues/errors.

Ok, well i've now updated so ill have a play around with it and see how i get on. I'd rather not delete everything but if i get some weird bugs ill do it.
Thanks again mate, you've been a HUGE help!

yes, but you won't be getting any OTA updates if you're rooted. it'll just pop up a message saying that your device has been modified and software updates are not be available. you'll have to update manualy
Thanks for the quick response guys
