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?

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?

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

Just bought it !!! help rooting? Will I be able to unroot for insurance?

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

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 an LTE version though, so I'm not sure your link will work with the N7105 version.
Hi all I have a n7100 4.1.2 note 2 and would like to root it only to uninstall bloatware and move apps to sd....do not want to install custom roms or mods kernels etc....which is the best way for it?
Also after rooting this way will I get updates via kies or ota? Thnx

It seems you wanna root your phone so that able to remove all bloatware but wanna keep as stock as possible.
You could go visit dr.ketan thread and there has the rooting method you are looking for. After your phone being rooted, you can install titanium backup( free version from google play) and remove all the bloatware. After that, unroot your phone by follow dr.ketan guide. Done.
No, with custom kernal you wont able to get ota or kies update.
Good luck mate.

As many of you know, the at&t 4.4.2 firmware came out today. WHICH, leads me to me question.
I am rooted and have the at&t no-knox Rom installed. This rom is close to stock, except it just doesn't have knox.
Can i update to 4.4.2 through this rom or will i get some sort of error.
I was on stock rooted 4.3 and flashed a custom kit Kat ROM just fine.

Do you know if I would be able to update? I'm on 4.3 stock and I have clockwork flashed too.
Well I tried to update from 4.3 rooted with Knox removed and it failed. Keep in mind though...the phone has been jtagged and had the iemi fixed. Don't know if that's the issue or not. It would not update...the install failed every time. Although the phone still works fine....just stuck on 4.3. So...it won't hurt your phone if it fails.

I have an At& t note 2 that has been rooted and currently running baseband I317ucubmk6. I am unable to download ota the new kitkat firmware. I believe it is because of the phone being rooted and?or possibly because of bootloader not allowing downgrade of firmware. Not really sure. Can anyone help me unroot this ? return to stock firmware so that i may upgrade or how to to get the kitkat. on my phone? Thanks in advance
