1. Is my phone less secure when I root?
2. Is it safe to still use my banking app?
3. Which recovery should I use?
4. Can I go back to stock without anyone knowing that it was rooted?

1. Is my phone less secure when I root? No
2. Is it safe to still use my banking app? Yes
3. Which recovery should I use? Twrp, for me its nicer, and gives me the option to name my backups.
CWM is awesome, don't get me wrong. I've used both extensively. But I found TWRP has more advantages.
4. Can I go back to stock without anyone knowing that it was rooted? Google flash counter reset. I've sold plenty of phones that have been reverted back to stock, and tripping the counter. Are you worried about the carrier finding out? Or voiding warranty? You won't.

Wow thanks so much! One more for you, if I use Exynosabuse to root how do install twrp?

Or do you recommend using a different method to root and install recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Its simpler to just use the note ii toolkit. And the guy above isnt quite right. Theoretically the phone could become less secure but it is fine as long as you only allow root permission to apps you know are safe
Where can I find the tool kit?

Nah just go to the market and in stall goo manager and once you open the app hit your menu buttton and slect flash open recovery and your good

But my phone would ask me if an app was asking for root permission right?

It will pop up SuperSU permission as your installing TWRP I just did the ExynosAbuse root + GooManager install of TWRP last night in fact!
I also suggest note 2 toolkit. Its so simple to use..
You can find it under the development section. I'm too lazy to search for it lol

I found that goo manager sometimes cant find the note. It says it isnt a recognized device. Hence why i suggest note 2 toolkit.

I'm not sure how it could be less secure. If anything it could be more secure if you change the default root password. Never did on Android but did all the time on iOS. Also, most apps this user will download will come from the Play store. Which are safe.

Less secure in that apps can have more control over your device. And not all apps from the play store are safe and with root the malicious properties can increase if you aren't careful. And if you have adb over network enabled people can do even more damage with root rights

I know it's possible to root *some* phones without a computer. Does anyone know if it's possible with the Hercules?
No! You need a computer

I think you can not root without a computer (because of all the ODIN stuff), but I guess ROMs can be installed using ROM manager. But using clockworkmod recovery seems easier.
You can't root without PC. Odin is the only way, my adhd girl can do this!

trolling?? or... just plain... nevermind
Rooting without a computer is the DUMBEST idea in the entire world. IF you screw up your phone, like most n00bs these days do, you will have NO WAY to recover your device without sending it in... not to mention no way to read XDA to discover what went wrong.

Rooting is not the part you need a computer for..
You need a computer in order to install cwm so you can flash the superuser zip

No need to install CWM from PC.
For this method you have to download 2 files (CWM.zip & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip) to you phone and you are ready to go.

This is to give root access, but to gain the abilty to flash SU to gain root access, you need ODIN and a PC. On the T989, it the only way to flash CWM. To summarize, SU is the saddle, but whats really important is the horse, CWM

Yeah thats right, even you can get a horse without PC. There is app called mobile odin which makes this possible. You can flash firmware with cwm using that, mobile odin requires rooted phone, which we did using prev posts.
I have su access with cwm installed on my phone without imcrease in flash counter and yellow exclaimation at boot.
I am planning to install good rom on this. Once I do it successfully I will try to put small tut on it.

Isn't half the point of the ROM Manager app to install a custom recovery? If you have root access, you can flash CWM through it. It's literally the first action listed when you open it.

Download titanium backup from playstore and then freeze Device manager.

You'd have to get root access first, if you're not yet rooted.

Then you can try this. Root the phone. Then freeze it, then unroot the phone again. By using many of our unroot programs such as Unlock Root from here : http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-any-android-device-using-unlock-root-41984/
Basically I root and install custom rom of N7100 to my N7105...
In the end, the phone got corrupted ( no service-didn't backup efs partition, S pen literally dead, phone auto shut down )
Soon I went to the telecomshop to get a refurnish N7105.
However when I did a restore from my samsung account, there were " SuperSU, Titanium backup & apk installer.
Here's the crux : Is my note rooted by the telecom shop? Can those app be use?
PS: [ main reason I root android is to use gamecih ]
Probably not rooted. Can you use Titanium Backup?

You're not rooted. You can download and install any root app, such as SuperSU, on a non rooted phone. It just won't function properly, since it doesn't actually have root access.
But I am quite confused about the methods used here. There is a lot of chat about firmware that my friend doesn't seem to have. All I know he has ics. I.have rooted my HTC sensation, Samsung galaxy s3 and a nexus 7 with no issue. But this stuff makes no sense. Am I even in the right forum?

That seems like too much work. Don't y'all have a stock rooted Odin .tar.md5? And the process for installing recovery seems dated. Once rooted you should be able to install twrp or cwm through room manager or goo manager. Or am I wrong?

then this is your process:
download the rom and gapps to your phone's internal sd card.
2) go to download mode and ODIN this to your phone:

2) reboot
3) clear dalvik,cache,factory data reset
4) Flash CM10 + gapps
DONE
This from the blog is correct btw... long winded but correct and safe. it has more detailed steps if you need itbut all is required are those 4 items above.

I lost root with the 4.1.2 update and I'd like to get it back. I went a little crazy with all the Gameloft deals and ended up with about 16 gigs worth of games, so I had to root to be able to use Titanium Backup to store everything on my SD card. I was running the stock ROM just rooted and didn't uninstall or change anything. I can't find anything else about how to gain root after the update that doesn't require flashing anything. Is there a one click option for me?

I also lost root during my AT&T 4.1.2 update, tried re-rooting via Odin, did 3 softbricks & resets & basically had given up on root. Then I stumbled upon this method, tried it & can't believe that anyone would rather root via Odin. Thank you so much!!!!!!!
