Can you run CASUAL to unlock your bootloader if you already have root? Just purchased a used note 2. The previous owner rooted but didn't unlock. Not sure if already being rooted with mess with CASUAL. Thanks

Anyone know if any place has an update on how to root the nexus on Verizon with the latest 4.0.4 update. Everywhere I check they are still using 4.0.2.

It's the same method.

I tried it, I even used the option to do the 4.0.4. But when I was trying the do the fast reboot part, it wouldn't give me the right options.do you have a video I can follow, this is my first time rooting my phone.
Its the exact same method. Unlike most devices, on a Nexus phone, there's no exploit required to root the device. If your bootloader is unlocked then you should have no problem using the exact same steps as 4.0.2.
Unless you're trying to root via exploit w/ a locked bootloader, which the ability to do so has been removed in 4.0.4.
I'm phone was just updated and it was locked when it was updated, dies that matter?

Taking an OTA update doesn't lock your bootloader... maybe you misspoke.
In order to root, you need to unlock the bootloader. The only reason why some people were able to root 4.0.2 without unlocking the bootloader was there was a slight exploit that allowed it. As I said, that exploit is not there in 4.0.4.
Just unlock the bootloader. Takes about 5 seconds as part of the root process. It will wipe your phone.
Ok thanks so much for the quick responses. I'm pretty stupid when it comes to this stuff, trying to learn. Thanks again

I have the AT&T 4G LTE Version Note 8 that I bought in August. It had an available update so I updated. Then I tried using framework and a toolkit to root and was unable to do so. I would like to ask anyone if there is a way to root my device is currently running 4.1.2. Thnx!

You can root your device go to the development forums for your note 8.0 and download a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. You need to flash it with Odin. I would give you the links, but I'm new here so I can't give links. After you flash your recovery find superuser.zip somewhere online and flash it with your bootloader.
Again I would give you the links but I can't post any so just Google them.

Search is your friend, use it. The AT&T GN8 has been rooted but we still don't have a method of unlocking the bootloader, which means that custom ROMs and recoveries are not possible now.

Since SGH-I467 has a locked bootloader, rooting it is a challenge. Originally I was not going to do it knowing the difficulties, but when a file explorer complained it couldn't write to the external SD card without root, I know I must root it.
Please be aware SGH-I467M (note the ending M) is a different animal. The Canadian version's bootloader is UNLOCKED, and thus rooting it is a breeze!
With my SGH-I467 I tried many different methods. Finally I was able to root it using Kingo Root (not Kingroot). Kingo Root is actually a one click rooting method. Just proceed with the instruction by the program.
Guys, do I need to have an unlocked bootloader before flashing custom roms like CM?
How do I find out if the bootloader is unlocked or not? Im already rooted using cf-auto-root.

You can NOT root or downgrade to an older android version once the phone took the OTA or kies of the LP build ending in OF1

So far they haven't rooted it but I wouldn't say never. I kinda doubt they will give up because nobody likes the Note 5.

They have mentioned more than once that root access cannot be obtained on MM unless the bootloader was unlocked !
So, don't get hopes on something that cannot be done ?
