the question is short, sweet, and to the point. How do I get (or keep intact) root access on the newest version of CyanogenMod?
ANNOYING- (I lose root access every time I install CyanogenMod, and I have to boot into CMW and restore back to stock ROM every time to get root back)
I did some research on this issue, and most sources say "CyanogenMod has officially decided not to include root rights in their newer ROMs".
EEEK! :/ HALP PL0X!!1!111!!!!
Root access is turn off by default but you can still turn it on.
Look in Developer Options menu.
In developer options, enable Root for ADB & Apps.

Restore Root status to Captivate phone w/CyanogenMod 11 M12
Moderators, If this is not the right place to post, kindly move to proper location.
I have a AT&T Captivate phone (SGH-I897 Samsung) that I rooted and changed to a Cyanogenmod 11 M12.
Before changing to KitKat
Code:
Capivate
Model: Samsung SGH-I897
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: I897UCKK4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489
Build#: GINGERBREAD.UCKK4
I changed the OS from GingerBread to KitKat with Odin3 V1.85 and this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Instead of (speedmod kernel) I used Corn kernal 7.0A Odin flashable version .
My phone now reads:
Code:
Capivate
Model: Samsung SGH-I897
Firmware: 4.4.4
Baseband: I9000UGK3
Kernel: 3.0.101-gd54123e [email protected] #1 Tue Nov 11 21:49:07 PST 2014
Build#: cm_captivatemtd-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q a842ce8199 test-keys
Most of the apps need to be reinstalled (not an issue). I will need to restore phone contacts, txt msging logs. (If I can not, it will just be inconvenient. (I did {I think correctly} a backup of the data. Will see if info can be restored.)
My main question: My phone is no longer Rooted. Is there a procedure to restore the Rooted state? How can this be accomplished? (Detailed directions preferred if available.)
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
EDIT -- Problem solved regarding ROOT Access
Congrats! Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware based custom ROM CM11 M4 is now installed and running on your AT&T Galaxy Captivate SGH-I897. [Note: Root may turned off by default in CM ROM, To enable it, enable developer settings first (tap the build number 8 times under about device), then enable root under Developer Settings]

You are, in fact, in the wrong forum.... this is for the S4, not the Captivate. Any way, check either security settings or developer options for an entry called root access. It should be something to do with that.

How to SIM unlock and/or roll back firmware on Samsung Note 2 N7105.
This is how I did it. It worked for me. That's all I can say. It may or may not work for you. I'm no 'expert' so I can't answer any tech question. I found this by trial and error. None fatal. ( So far) I will take it for granted you know how to Root and use Odin. I'm also assuming you have installed the Samsung USB Drivers.
http://uploaded.net/file/xdloq4jw
If you are using one machine to do this remember to disable Kies before using Odin.
My phone was updated to 4.3 using Kies. I did this on my laptop as I didn't want Kies messing up anything on my computer that I was going to use for the rest of the process.
So stating with a stock phone.
Using Odin
http://uploaded.net/file/o2xcp01n
I rooted my Phone with
CF-Root
http://download.chainfire.eu/255/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.zip
I then downloaded SuperSu from the market and ran that. It runs a fix to stop Knox.
I then installed ES File Explorer from the market.
Then I downloaded My Phone Explorer. I like this program and use it a lot.
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
Using ES I backed up my EFS folder to my Sd Card
Using MyPhoneExplorer I backed it up again to my computer.
Better safe than sorry.
I then used Odin again to install the 4.1.1 Firmware.
I got it from here. There's 4.1.2 there as well for those that asked.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-N7105&pcode=EVR#firmware
I then installed 4.1.1 by unzipping the file and using Odin.
I then use CF-Root again.
Using the *#Codes as below
Step 1. Insert a SIM on your Note 2, you should find the familiar “SIM network unlock PIN” window.
Step 2. Dial “*#197328640#” on your Note 2 to enter special menus.
Step 3. Choose “UMTS”.
Step 4. Next choose “Debug screen”.
Step 5. Choose “Phone Control”.
Step 6. Choose “Network Lock”.
Step 7. Choose “Perso SHA256 OFF” and wait about 30 seconds.
Step 8. Press the Menu button then choose “Back”.
Step 9. Choose “NW Lock NV Data Initiallize” and wait about 1 minute. *Then reboot your Note 2.
Step 10. Once rebooted, you should no longer get the Network Lock window any more and you should be able to get signal and data. *If you have trouble getting 3G/HSPA+ data, try setting the APN to your carrier’s settings although it should set automatically.
I did try this using 4.1.2 but Step 7 was missing.
I then updated back to 4.3 using Kies on the laptop and then CF-Root again through Odin on my computer. Fixing Knox by re downloading SuperSU and running that.
One SIM unlocked phone.
I then used Titanium to freeze all the Samsung and Google stuff I didn't want and also froze Knox.
MY phone is running stable and good. Auto update though says it has been modified so now it will not OTA. Which isn't a bad thing.
Thank you to the respective developers of the software I used.
I hope this helps others.

I got the same problem,after updating to 4.3 version my phone asking for Sim network unlock PIN.
You mean flashing 4.1.1 from 4.3 got no failure?
Currently downloading 4.1.1 version..after attempting to flash 4.1.2 it failed in Odin,due to a new bootloader
Edit:
Confirmed I successfully flashed 4.1.1 and successfully unlock network.
Tnx dude!

Absolutely no idea mate. I only tried it on my phone.
ive been looking for this
im having the same problem and hopefully this fixes it.
but about the updating to 4.3 using Kies, wont it trigger the SIM network Unlock Code again?
Hi, what android PDA did you have before doing the downgrade. I have read some posts that say that you can not downgrade if you have MK4 or later... I have a Galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 and I would like to test what you did with mine, but I'm not sure if its possible

Tried all the 4.1.1 fw from sammobile for all carriers here in PH (Globe, Smart, Sun and Open Line)
The menu code doest lead me to the Perso SHA256.
After the Network Lock menu it says Command don't exist or something like that.

All I can comment on is how I did it on mine. I don't have any other phone. Sorry.
Maybe try the UK one that I used. Once it's SIM unlocked you can put a local to you ROM on.

Hi,
I followed the instructions properly. I rooted my 4.3 with CF auto root, and then I tried to flash the 4.1.1 firmware onto my phone.
Now it is stuck at the boot screen, and I'm so shocked because I did everything correctly.
I can still get to "ODIN Mode" by holding volume down, home and power, and it says:
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox warranty void: 1
What have I done wrong?
Thank you.
help me !
i have a Note 2 N7105.i did the exact steps.on the notification bar, i can see that i have signal, the phone is unlocked, but still, i cant use the network. it says NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK. what do you think is the problem ?

I must say.... you are my SUPER STAR..... I have search everywhere and looked every corner of the website..... apart for paying around £20 to 40 to unlock the phone from someone... you have made my day.... I have been trying to unloack a phone that I have bought from ebay... it was locked to EE network in UK, your way of downgrading the firmware to 4.1.1 and use the code “*#197328640#” had worked... the phone has been upgraded wot 4.3 Jellybean, and the code does not work at all. However after down graded to 4.1.1 (as you have done) , I was able to use the code “*#197328640#” and unlock the phone, then I upgrade it back to 4.3 and now doing a firmware upgrade to 4.4..... the network block has ceased... so I guess the phone is now completely utterly unlocked forever....REALLY Thanks to your logical trial and error...
I must say, it took me some trial and error to reinstall the stock ROM, whick I had to use Philz recovery to completely clean up the device before I reinstall the stock rom.....
Any thanks again, and when I get a chance, I'll post my steps which had worked.
Cheers Mate,
Dave
Am glad to hear that
works great
Big thanks to BorgCymru for the how-to.
Just got a n7105 that was locked on EE/Orange (UK) that had KitKat 4.4.2 installed. Followed all the instructions but used cwmrecovery (to make backup rom) and it worked great for me. Tested with tesco, 3, o2 sim and all work.
Only thing to add that after installing firmware 4.1.1, the phone went to reboot but the screen became locked on the 'Samsung' logo. I removed the battery and booted into recovery to wipe partition and wipe cache. Rebooted and all was fine.
i been having issues unlocking with running 4.4.2 indeed to downgrade was the correct step, i am now unlocked
I know you posted the original post a while back, however I purchased a note 2 7105t off eBay and it was locked to Vodafone Australia. I actually got a code off their unlocking site and of course it did not work. I then contacted their customer service and waited 4 days for a call back with a unlock code and master reset code, once again did not work and I was told to take it to a Vodafone shop and they will send it away. One again, brick wall, as the shop said, "have you a proof of purchase from Vodafone". Nope I do not so they refused to send away and told me I was,"stuck with Vodafone".
Now I want to thank you for assisting me in unlocking my galaxy note N7105T 4.2.2 with your information. It worked like a charm.
The only question I have is if I now put an update firmware from 4.1.1 will the lock come back on? I see here a couple of members said they were fine, can I get verification on this please.
Hi Tamate. Once you unlocked it is permanent.

No so... Did that way back, and last it while travelling, it locked itself! Still trying to find a way to unlock it (I'm now on Marshmallow!) Afraid downgrade back to 4.1.1 will do more damage (bricking the phone for good!)
BTW, how can I tell if my bootloader ever got upgraded?
Looks like a 0.0.2 stock upgrade bump headed to the Note 2 sometime soon ... or in AT&T's case, next year... :fingers-crossed:

Well it seems to update the baseband and kernel but I'll pass for now. I'm rooted and don't want any problems and I'm pretty sure my recovery would not allow the update anyway. he reminder gets annoying though.

This is an automatic update. Even if you keep putting it off eventually it will just try to update the phone. So i let the update go through and off course I lost my root. I have not flashed anything in months and have not been keep up on what's going on so it took me some hours to get my root back. CF auto root wood not work and I kept getting the SU binaries are not installed as well as SU has stopped working.
Check for OTA Update in your settings.
Is it Lollipop?
I don't think so. I think it is a security update.
I'm rooted on stock rom so i just froze it using Titanium backup. Heard people installed the update and it froze there rooted phone.

I wouldn't. I just posted this in the other thread about the OTA:
a042349 said:
Same thing happened to me. Rooted but otherwise stock GN2. Got the update, rebooted and it got stuck at the boot logo. I tried everything. Flashed CWM, then tried a couple different ROM's. Then went to TWRP recovery, and tried the Team Elektron ROM, that got a little farther, boot logo with sound, but it still hung. Tried a modem update, and even the bootloader - nothing worked.
Luckily I had just bought mine ($300 on Amazon right now) so I just sent it back as defective and ordered a new one. Gonna be real careful of the ATT update and maybe even skip it and go right to a custom ROM.

Best way is to download a custom recovery and flash it in Odin. Then when boot hold on the home and up key to enter recovery. If the phone boot complete withou enter recovery, the recovery would be replaced with the factory recovery. When in recovery flash supersu zip and restart. The recovery will be replaced with the factory recovery, but you had root installed, enter supersu and reboot.

I don't understand one thing - official 4.4.2 OTA was released over a month ago, correct?
I have two Note 2 SGH-I317s AT&T branded with OEM 4.3 (no rooting or other non-OEM additions).
If I stick working AT&T SIM card and check for updates it says the device is up to date.
Moreover if I'd connect it to Kies it would also say that firmware is up to date!
Same thing on both phones - what am I missing?
I purchased them used - maybe the previous owners rooted them and this prevents them from updating?
One had a Knox at "1" since I for some stupid reason downgraded it to 4.1 via Odin (and then took it to AT&T service center where they flashed 4.3 back), another one has Knox at "0"...

Is service activated on the AT&T SIM? That might be a factor.
Regardless, there are two 4.4.2 official releases for the I317 - NE5 and NJ1. If OTA won't work for you, check my sig for links to packages that provide another way to get the complete stock firmare on your phone - rooted or unrooted.

Yes the SIM card has normal active service on it.
Other reasons OTA won't work:
1 - Location (if you are not in an area where OTA updates are provided, then...
)
2 - AT&T Update apk disabled on phones (seems unlikely that this would be the case on two phones but a factory reset might clear this as it is set on the data side)
3 - Identity issues (could be any number of things related to IMEI, efs partition scrambling, etc - just spitballing)
As far as suggestions go, I'd say try a factory reset and clear cache from recovery. If that doesn't work, maybe go back to AT&T and see if they can figure it out - the phones are stock and it's their OTA process. If that doesn't work, you can pursue the path I suggested previously - same firmware update, minus the script that pushes stock recovery every time you boot. You will trip the knox flag though...only an issue for warranty repair really. Others here have intentially or unitentionally received the NJ1 OTA with the knox flag tripped on their phones.

Glad to hear it. Wait a day (or disable network time and the set the time on the phone forward at least a day) and try again - you should get NJ1. (If that's what you want). Approx. 93MB security and minor enhancement update.
Just to follow-up - it took the second update with T-Mobile SIM card even without waiting for 24 hours.
I guess in order to take the updates the phone's IMEI MUST re-register on AT&T network with the valid AT&T SIM card first.
It's now I317UCUCNJ1
Hello all; first post here. Very new into the android cracking scene. iPhone was stolen so a friend gave me her Note 2. I use AT&T and this phone is obviously Tmobile. I've been messing around with it and rooted the phone; using basic clockwork mod rom. Made a backup just in case things go wrong. From what I've read so far I have to downgrade the firmware to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 then simply call that *#430... number to unlock. Before doing that I wanted to make sure I couldn't mess anything up. Do I have to change basebands/radios/frequencies/flashs/mods ANYTHING of the sort? Or do I just find the oldest t889 firmware, open up odin, (put firmware in pda) then flash it... Also, is there an easier way that I haven't stumbled across yet?
Thank you in advance for any kind of help!!
went through hours more threads. found out how to do it.
in case anyone stumbles on this thread...
downgrade to 4.2 then 4.1.1 then use the phone call method.
U can still do it on any android version. Go to serviceMode *#197328640#.
1. UMTS-1
2. DEBUG SCREEN-1
3. PHONE CONTROL -8
4. NETWORK LOCK-6
5. Perso Sha256 Info to check if its (1) meaning locked.
6. Perso Sha256 Off.
Now check step 5 again to c if its now (0) meaning Unlocked.
