I rooted my Tmo Note 2 about 6 months ago. This was the first device I have ever rooted, and I loved everything about it. When I updated to 4.3 yesterday, I obviously lost root. I am wondering how I can root my Tmo Note 2 which is now running 4.3. I have a mac, and heimdall, but I don't know what files and steps I need to take to root my device once again. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have read through a ton of different threads, but still have not had any luck. I am in desperate need of a solution (besides buying a pc just to root my note 2 via Odin). I need my root back!

Have you tried running a VM with Windows?
Try VirtualBox and setup a win7 VM within your MAC.
Hellow im a noob to this rooting stuff is there a way to root a galaxy s3 Sprint without a computer
There is a way. You need Mobile Odin, there should be a thread in General or Android Dev section. I had to do it that way since all I had at the time was a Mac and there wasn't an Odin version for Mac at the time.

Hello my names Aaron, I rooted my galaxy tab 3 (sm-t217s) a little bit ago then unrooted just because my wifi wasnt turning on.. I had to do a stock restore through odin to get it all working again. When I did that I got the new kitkat update and gladly updated it. Now again though I want to root it so I can again do all the great things you can do with rooting!
So my questions are:
Can I root it running 4.4.2 the same way I did when I was running 4.2.2? Will it brick it if I just put on a custom recovery the same way as before and let that install superSU?
I would just like to know and if not then is there another way currently to root it?
I couldnt find anything about it that is why I am posting about it.. must not be a very common tablet?
Anyways thanks for your time and help!

Either use towelroot to root from within android or you can still flash twrp from Odin and root that way. Twrp may set warranty bit, mine was was already tripped so I can't say dor sure if it does.

I used towelroot on my tablet, it does what it has to do. Does not reboot, but when I use Root Checker it says that I do not have root.....any suggestions?
I was rooted with towel root fine under the June 2014 update to 4.4.2, but I mistakenly took the update to NH4 while rooted. My device seems to be fine, but I lost root and Towel root will not seem to root me again, no way, no how. My warranty bit is clean, and I don't want to trip it, but I'd love to have root back. Is there anyything I can do on NH4 from within Android to get root back? TIA
How did you do an unroot through Odin and which version of Towelroot did you use to root it again? I have the same tablet.
I have SM-T217S running Kitkay 4.4.2. I've tried almost every root app there is (Kingo, Towel, ect.). They all say my device isn't compatible. And when I go to update under settings, it says that my device is running unauthorized software and that I need to use Samsung kies to flash. But it has no root & no custom software, everything is normal. I have tried using computer to root but still nothing. What could I do to fix it?
I am new to rooting and i have a Galaxy Note 2 n7105 carrier unlocked phone on android v4.4.2. I have been scouring the internet and cant find a tutorial to root thus phone on a mac. Ive found a mac tutorial for only the n7100, not the n7105. I also need to know how to install the latest version of DN3 on it once i have rooted it. In the simplest way possible please, thanks for taking the time to read and answer!
I have read that you can actually root the US Note 7 a few places. I have not tired it yet because I have heard that Samsung Pay, Android Pay, and Galaxy Gear Fit 2 do not work with a rooted S7. How much truth is there, and is there a possibility of any of them working in the future?

You can flash the Sprint userdebug.tar on any Snapdragon model and root it without tripping Knox / voiding your warranty, but Samsung Pay / Android Pay will not work. This has been a known Samsung sacrifice for a very long time, so this is something you will always have to sacrifice.
All root apps work, but there is no custom recovery, and you can use FlashFire for that.
There is 99% certainty that Knox/Pay will never work with root, since it completely deminishes the security of these delicate features. It would be like eventually giving everyone a master key to your wallet.
P.s. I've successfully rooted my N930W8 (Canadian) flashing the sprint userdebug.tar and then following the root guide found in that sub forum. Everything works but Hotspot. If anyone knows of a fix let me know!
Can someone explain to me how to unroot? My capacitive buttons are no longer working for some reason.
I've already downloaded the stock firmware, but I'm not sure exactly how to flash. Could probably mess around with it and figure it out, but I really don't want to screw up.
If someone could explain how to unroot via Odin and, if possible, via TWRP it would be much appreciated.

Do you possibly know about the Gear App and the Gear Fit 2?
I have also read about suhide, but that looks like it needs a custom recovery right now. I mostly want to root to get rid of some bloat on the phone.

You can use Package Disabler Pro for that without root. I used for months with unrooted samsung phones, no problems at all.
Also, you can flash suhide with FlashFire and use Terminal to configure it.
I personally havent used suhide, but I understand how it works, and since FlashFire is pretty much a custom recovery, theres no reason why it shouldnt work. Only difference is if you are using the Sprint root, you would have to reflash ssu the manual way after flashing suhide, which at this point would be easier to do everything through adb.

I'm trying. I've not had much luck using Jodin3 (the Mac version of Odin) so I'm using Heimdall and the firmware is flashing it seems, but I can't get my Note to boot past the "Samsung Galaxy Note7, Powered by Android" screen.

Can anyone help me? A link for the said Mac version of Odin and some instructions on how to do the root. If anyone can figure out how to get it working properly, that would be amazing.
