and have a device status read "Normal" ?
Mine reads "Modified". What steps do I need to take?

Could try to Odin back to stock firmware and then follow Mr. Robinson's thread for his already injected Rooted Roms.
But keep in mind once you have a different recovery other than the stock one you'll still be considered Modified.
Thank you. Looks like I will wait for next update an decide if is worth to unroot. Currently im on stock firmware with ota root keeper used before last update. Rooted with exynos abuse.

Sounds like a smart plan.
Flash to K8, root with exploit, use OTA rootkeeper. That's what I did and mine still reads normal even with root enabled. But honestly that is the best rooting method without using a different recovery and tripping your flash counter.

Hey there, I have a rooted S3 (rooted with Snapdragon toolkit) and I have not updated my phone since I've gotten it. Is there a way for me to update my phone using Odin without having to unroot my phone first? If so, where can I download the updates for the Wind Mobile version of the S3? Also, If I update my phone using Odin, will it wipe all data from the phone?
Thanks for any help.
Go here, download the root66 jellybean rom for you carrier and flash it with desktop Odin. You will keep root, apps, settings, everything. These have superSU, yours probably has superuser so you will end up with both. Just open superSU, it will ask you to update the binary and it will take over. Then you can just disable or install superuser if you wish.

Thanks, but I really don't want to flash a completely different rom if possible.

That tells me you did not read the thread at all, root66 by mrRobinson rooms are fully stock Samsung firmware with only one modification, root injected on it, so you don't have to do it yourself, and you don't trip the counter in the process of rooting it either.

You're right, after I saw the word 'rom' I thought you were talking about a completely different rom and didn't bother to check. Thanks, I will definitely check this out.
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!

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.

Help! I'm new at this. I've rooted my Note 2 GT-N7100 using CF-Autoroot some weeks ago.
Today I just received OTA software update on my Note 2 GT-N7100 and then I found out that SuperSU doesn't work anymore with error "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it". Triangle Away is also not longer working saying SuperUser access is needed.
Help!! What should I do now without having reinstall everything again? I need to correct this problem, and then remove the root from my phone!
Simple, re root with cf auto root.

Thank you! As easy as that?
Ok, let's say I've done that. Can I unroot my phone without restoring Stock firmware? Run Triangle Away to reset the counter, use SuperSU for full unroot and go to Stock Recovery and perform factory reset?
Exactly.

Hi, I did the same as OP. I was root with the Exynos Abuse app then I installed 4.1.2 OTA and now root is gone. When I got back into the Exynos app it says it can't root again.
I'm not sure what you mean by cf auto root. This was my first time ever rooting and I don't know much about custom firmwares and such. Can you tell me how to do it step by step?
Thank you
exynos won't work on 4.1.2

you can use method 1 of course.
Hey guys
I don't currently have this phone model, but my friend wants me to root and install a 4.4 rom on it. Just have a couple of questions.
Would saferoot or cf-autoroot both work? I have no experience with either so if someone could recommend one over the other that would be great. I'm a little more experienced with saferoot since I'm recommending it for people who took our 4.3 OTA. Never actually used it.
Also for us Verizon folks, we got locked bootloaders in the update. I know that Knox is included in the update, but am I able to still install a custom rom over it? I understand the Knox counter will be tripped, but I'm not concerned about that. Just don't want the phone to soft brick from an installation.

Cf auto root works. You can still install custom roms if you trip Knox

I have a note 2 I am running 4.4.2 Probam and love it. I just bought another note 2 for my wife and its 4.1.2. I plan on rooting but probably no custom ROMs. Just debloating on my own. Should I update to 4.3 or stay at where I am?
I have never updated my bootloader and use 4.3 touchwiz ROMs fine with devil kernel. What's my best move from some expertise experience. Not a nooby but not a developer. Thanks

It honestly depends on ur plans for that phone. If u never plan on rooting it I would definitely update to 4.3 using the ota. But that's just a personal opinion. If ur planning on rooting I wouldn't update to 4.3 using the ATT ota. If u update to ota 4.3 anytime u use odin it will trip the Knox counter. And then chance for a warranty replacement if u need it is slim to none. If ur planning on rooting there a a few really solid TW 4.3 roms out there with no worries about Knox.

4.1.2 is solid. Since it's your wife's phone, personal experience allows me to say leave it be. Lord help me if Candy Crush doesn't work.....
But you have an option.
A time saver to get to 4.3 and rooted on your current bootloader would be this.,,

AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock ODIN Note 2
It's already rooted, all you have to do is debloat with Titanium BU or whatever.
From the thread -----> If you *are not* running Official 4.3 (MK6) or newer bootloader: After flashing one of the firmware packages above (the Stock ODIN) flash the bootloader package below in Odin to get wifi working (sorry, no option available for CWM/TWRP). I've included the Odin executable just after if needed.
Bootloader needs to be flashed only once. See post #2 for information on how to check what version of bootloader you have installed.
This is what you will flash:
AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)
This bootloader will not trip Knox.
Thanks. Not worried about warranties. I rooted it at 4.1.2. I'd I update OTA to 4.3 am I still able to put a custom recovery on it? Kinda confused if the 4.3 update locks the bootloader and lastly wasn't the at&t s4 bootloader able to be unlocked when it first came out? Soon after a OTA broke the root. If so then why wouldn't a brand new one out of box be able to have bootloader unlocked just as the phones come with the same firmware version and not updated until bought. Just wondering.

Check this here, it should answer your questions.
I am not too sure about the S4.
I recently got a refurbished Note 2 that came with the 4.3 firmware (my original note 2 broke), MK6 booloader. According to this link, If your phone is running the MK6 bootloader, It is not possible AS OF NOW to revert to the previous bootloader MJ4. You can put CWM recovery and custom roms on your 4.3 build but I don't think they are too stable as of now. I have not tried it yet.
I have at&t note 2 and never updated to 4.3 like I said before but when I flashed a 4.3 tw ROM WiFi wouldnt work like you said. Instead of doing the Odin bootloader thing I just flashed the devel kernel and everything went good. WiFi works flawless. Devil kernel works on toichwiz and aosp. My question is would it be better to do that and leave the bootloader alone?

The note 2 I got last Friday is 4.1.2. The only reason I didn't get the note 3 is this whole bootloader crap. T-Mobile is really starting to look good from here

To not confuse. I have had my note 2. Just got my wife the other one. I don't think I am going to update it at all. Just to make sure I rooted hers with framaroot and stopped any ota 4.3 from slipping by.

One last question. Not sure if we already touched this or not. On your at&t 4.3 note 2 can you put a custom recovery cwm?

How did you flash the devils kernel ? ODIN ?
And the answer is yes you can.
