Temp root - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to temporarily root the device without applying a custom kernel? I'm having 4.1.2 woes so I want to factory reset but backup data first. Can it be done?
If not, would rooting prevent me from getting new ota updates? Thanks!

Stock att firmware

Now that we have root without unlocking is there a way to go back to stock for.future ota upgrades.
Like if I remove stock apps will that prevent ota upgrades?

yes, removing stock apps will usually prevent an ota update
Right I know so is there a method to flash stock again?

try rooting with chain fire. it hardly takes 5 minutes to root. and unrooting is pretty easy and quick.
I rooted my note 2 when I had 4.1.1 then I unroot it again to get ota update and upgraded to 4.1.2 and after that again rooted through the same procedure. its easy n quick.

[Q] Best method of Root AND Unroot for N7105?

Hi all,
I just bought a Note 2 N7105 today, and I was looking over and reading all of the rooting methods, but I couldn't find one with an easy unroot option.
I'd need this just to be able to unroot incase I need to send it in for service repair.
Can anyone recommend me a guide I should follow for the N7105?
Thanks in advance!
Drketan has several very good guides and mskips toolkit is what I used. I believe this also advises how to unroot.
You do know a rooted phone shouldn't invalidate your warranty, unless of course the rooting caused the issue, right?

Super su offers a full unroot option but remember to run triangle away first before you unroot

Thanks for the replies!
I was hoping to put the Pegasus kernel on to the phone, but I was worried that if I needed to go back to stock kernel etc, I couldn't since I can't take a backup of my current setup. Is there any way to backup my current stock kernel and ROM?
I'm currently running:
GT-N7105
Android 4.1.2
Baseband: N7105BVDMF2
Build Number: JZO54K.N7105XXDMF2

Yes there is. Just boot into recovery and look for backup to external sd card. Thats it

I think I phrased it badly - my fault!
I meant backup my current stock firmware and kernel, which means I have stock recovery and there is no backup option, only to reboot, update via adb, update via external sd, and the wipe cache +wipe data factory reset options.
Simply download the stock rom from Sammobile and you can reflash it as and when needed of course it will take you back to factory settings.
Or once rooted and you have twrp installed perform a nandroid back up.
I don't know how to perform a back up before you root.

[Q] Updating ROM without losing root

Did anyone manage to maintain root after upgrading to Android 4.4? If so, how? On what partition does our SU and recovery reside? I ask this because I can't find the answer and I can't save my preferences in PhilZ recovery either.
It really is an annoying process to reroot this phone.
