This is a great place for me to ask this question and I hope that maybe other members who have the same set up as me could get the answers they are looking for. Im a disabled U.S Army Veteran and I have memory problems so searching XDA and goggle for me is quite sum task/adventure. Dont ask me how long it took for me to put the pic together or how long it took for me to ask this question cause I might reply, "Yes Id like some gravy with my bowling ball". All joking aside, Id like to achieve a stock root on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for now. Thank you for such a wonderful site and giving me the opportunity to ask my question. Thanks XDA

Im trying TMPOOLE's advice and Im at the select your device model and build and am stuck here. I see Sprint model SPH-L900 but Im not seeing my build. The two options are Builds JRO03C ALJ1 and JRO03C ALJC. The pic Im including in this post is what Iv got. Does this mean I should be patient and wait for another toolkit (non-donated) version to become available? I cant afford the toolkit at this time but should be able to by this weekend. If I get the donated version would it include my build?

Me personally and with my disability, the first set of instructions for the toolkit method agree with my brain. I appreciate both of yous guys advice. Im not knocking the other gentleman's set of advice in now way whatsoever. So I guess Iv got to wait fur the next toolkit update. Which is fine with me. Gives me more time to do sum research.
Sent From The Deathstar I Created ~Jesus~
Negative, there is a very simple solution (found below). By the way, Thanks for your service, coming from an ex-sailor (well technically, submariner)
Use the ljc build option, option 42 in the toolkit. Works fine, I've tested personally. The difference in ljc and ma7 weren't any changes to the os per say, just minor tweaks that the former option still works with the latter version.
~swyped from my galaxy note 2 on the now network
Iv triedca couple o times already and it keeps hangn at PIT map (I think thats what it was called) then it would say fail. Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Which option are you using?
I've used option 42, all in one root.
Edit: wrote this before, but can be used in this case also.
Basically, download the toolkit to your pc. Unzip the files and install the program (path ends with a .exe and Windows will tell you it's an application)
That tells you step by step exactly what to do.
To make it even easier, in the toolkit, it'll ask if you want to check for an update, type no.
Option 42. (Sprint ljc build)
Option 1. (Unplug device from computer before doing that)
It may bring you back to the first screen, which if so, option 42 again
Option 2. (Root/unroot)
Option 3 ALL-IN-ONE. (Option 4 May work also... I'd go with any that root, insecure boot, and custom recovery, just me though)
From there, it will tell you step by step what you need to do
I find TWRP is easier to use on this phone, so I would choose option 2 after typing no from here.
~swyped from my galaxy note 2 on the now network
Iv done the steps you described when I first started to try this program out and it still gets hung up at the mapping phase then pops up the red FAIL box. Iv selected 42 then the options for root, superSU, twrp then I plug in my usb while in usb debugging mode. Am I misding something?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Okay, so you don't hook the phone up until the debug step... make sure usb debugging is on, plug phone up, start toolkit, make sure the upper left has your serial number under adb devices. Start with the phone plugged in.

1. so this would be where i go to unlock root and flash a custom recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310 and on the list my phone would be option 7 correct ???????
2. are there any steps that i should be careful on or just take extra care???
3. Any useful tips in general i will be testing other ROMs and Kernels but will probably end up using AOKP and Franco kernel since i know him from a previous phone.

At least when you do it manually you will know what went wrong and at what step and if you need to ask for help it will be a lot easier for you to get it of you have that information.
And as a bonus you get to learn!
Learning is fun! :thumbup:
There's nothing wrong with the program. It works flawlessly but I know most people on here like to do it the manual way.

The script is a horrible way to do things. It's slower than using advice and fastboot directly, unless you are a beginner in which case it still sucks because it's much better to actually take the time to learn how stuff works.... makes it easier to fix things later on.

One Toolkit argument:
If you "break" your phone in a week/month/year/whatever...
And come back requesting help...
We're MORE than glad to help.
However, you'll find the process of diagnosis and repair to go much more smoothly when you have ADB/Fastboot set up.
Which is really 99% of the work in unlocking/rooting manually.
If you have a bricked device you're
a ) in a panic
b ) not going to be able to tell if the actual ADB/Fastboot set up isn't working...
Or if your device is broken to the point where it won't be recognized even on a working set up.
KNOWING you have ADB/Fastboot set up correctly is, again, %99 percent of fixing your phone.
If you come in and say "adb devices" doesn't show anything it could be TWO possible reasons, rather than one.
Oh...
And learning ftw.
And the fact that adb pushing items to our MTP phones is sometimes easier than using drag-n-drop.
And...you might at one point need this ability to unbrick =].

I am pretty sure I bricked my wife's S3 when I tried to root it using the following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 - has nothing to do with the tool kit, more like user error. I have rooted multiple past phones and my current note 2. I got to the odin part and it did it's thing but nevere rebooted to go to the next step. I cannot get into recovery, the computer doesn't recognize the phone now and the screen doesn't do anything. Any ideas? I am pretty sure I bricked it and will need to get a new phone for her.
Appreciate any help or confirmation of a new paper weight.

Does the device do anything at all when you try to power it on? What exact steps did you take when you attempted to root the device? If the phone does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, not even vibrate, then your looking at a hard brick. If it does vibrate and/or you can at least get to the splash screen, then it's a soft brick and stuck in a boot loop.

It does sound like it is bricked. In the future, never unplug the phone while Odin is flashing it. (Im assuming this is what you did?) Always wait until it says PASS, RESET, or FAIL. Sometimes it can hang for 20 or more minutes, but it should always eventually show one of those 3 results.
Just to be sure though. Pull the battery, then put it back in. Try to boot into Download Mode. Try to boot into Recovery. If you can get one of these you are probably not bricked. If you cannot get to either one, and you cannot boot normally, then I am afraid you are bricked.
This does not mean you need to buy a new phone however. What it needs is something called a JTAG fix. You can probably find several shops online that will do this for you, but the one that always gets mentioned around here is http://mobiletechvideos.com
Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but I hope this helps you. If you do get it fixed, next time I suggest rooting with the root66 method. It is much safer imo, at least I see a lot fewer problems with it.
Good Luck!
Thanks for the info. I did get the reset and waites for just over 15 minutes. Nothing was happening and I thought it was bricked so I did unplug it. When I used the same tool to root my N2 it took less than 5 minutes for the entire process.
I will check out the link. Appreciate your help! Thank you.

Thanks for getting back. He screen doesn't come on at all, but it does vibrate once after a battery pull and then nothing. I followed the steps and got to "reset" in odin where it was waiting for the phone to reboot and after 15+ minutes I thought "crap" bricked it. Unplugged, which I would screw it up which it did. I am going to look into the company DocHoliday77 mentioned below. Worth a shot as cheaper than buying another phone.

Yes, you will trip the Knox flag, currently no method to reset it. TWRP is fine, just do some reading about restoring backups.. If done incorrectly, you will experience what's been coined "The Brickloop"

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.

Sorry I didn't see it however easy it was, but that's why we are here to help one another. ..so please next time either don't comment at all and let someone else who wants to help, help, or just help someone out. ..It goes a long way and makes this place more civil. ..

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

No problem. .. Just to let you know that thread doesn't show up in my app which I always use.. It only showed up on my computer. .. That's why I didn't see it. ..
After I rooted the system it said modified and ota wouldn't work. .. so I installed xposed framework and then wanam xposed module and there is a setting to set system to original and that works for ota...

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..

Hi Ya'll!
I wanted new features, bigger screen size, all the "Droid Does" that apple doesn't BS and now I regret it a lot. After just 6 months of using the phone, it used up every ounce of memory so that nothing works. I deleted practically every app that this stupid phone would allow, removed pictures, deleted text messages, everything I could safely remove I did, and to my laughing surprise, it still is crashing and having memory problems. I have deleted so much of my own input to the phone that it is practically brand new with regard to the I have installed on it and yet, still it has these problems.
Anyway, The Actual Problem: I watched this youtube video called "How to Root Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II Easily!" and I downloaded Odin and I downloaded the CF Rooting file and extracted it (the .rar and extracted to .tar). I open Odin, the phone is connected, I open the .tar file into the PDA section and it runs, but I get a red box that says fail. I did some more research and discovered that maybe I was using the wrong .tar file, so I downloaded a different .tar file. The next time I try to run the new .tar file, it doesn't respond like at all. I close everythign out and try again, and now it won't even pick up the phone in odin. My phone is currently stuck on that stupid black screen with the android guy and it says "downloading... do not turn off target!!" What do I do now? I can go either way at this point, but really, would anyone like to buy this? or at least get it back to working again (albeit very slow and I . I hate this phone.
Mod Edit
If I had to guess, you flashed the wrong file and have a brick on your hands...
Its an operator error, not the phone. .
Never flash anything if you are not 100% sure its the right thing and you know the ins and outs of what you are doing..
I think towards the top there is a stock recovery file, if not, google it and go from there...
But to summarize, its not the phones fault. .

As mentioned above ...you have most likely damaged your internal partitions by using software not intended for your device..
The device can be repaired by sending it to mobiletechvideos.com...(Google it)..and having the device partitions repaired...
They use a JTAG device or even possibly a RIFF BOX and can force push the needed files...
I don't know the cost ...but I can tell you that the device is worth it...
The note 2 is an exceptional device ...and it is clear that you did not understand what you needed to do...
Good luck...and I'm sorry for your loss...g

+1 to this^^^^^^^^^^ @softballjunkie correct. And I didn't even read the whole post.
Android takes some reading and some understanding. Not just install what you want, like Crapple.
Just my 2¢®

stupidity- is your own fault
the actual problem is that you took a perfect piece of equipment- and while not knowing how to do something correctly- you f..d up your phone. and you blame the phone... read....listen...learn... get educated..then maybe go and tinker with phone. why not go and do your own brain surgery? just watch a youtube video!!!
