Note2 unable 2 root - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
First off tried rooting my note 2 N7100 a couple off days ago following a youtube video on how to root.Was rooted but the CWM was giberish(distorted)therefore I was unable to flash a few things already placed in sdcard.
Via superuser unrooted.
The 2 time I performed root was via Dr.Ketans thread-no root but the count did go up and still is going up cos been trying different methods but to no avail.
Any idea why this is so?
Do I need to flash a fresh stock rom.As I am still on stock everthing except for the rooting attempts.
Checked my imei still there and as for the efs its there but I cannot go into it to view, I think one could only do it if one was rooted.Which I am obviously not.

Ive just downloaded the Toolkit.And am reading it now.
And for your info DR.Ketan since ive tried several each time i had only used the links provided by those tutorials.
1)Followed youtube video by Inam Gafoor and used contents from the video
2)Xda -N7100 All in 1 by yourself and used all links provided.2nd method.
3)GalaxyNote2Root-how to root SGNote2 easiest and simplest and its links
4)Cursed4eva youtube guide-how to root SGNote2 and its link

i simply needs your Odin logs, then only i can advise you further.
After flashing file with Odin, what msg appears on odin Tab , copy paste here.

You could try to mobile Odin clockwork mod then flash the root .zip file.. I just borrowed a friends pc to root.. in theory you are good to go after that..
I've never used it but in theory it should work
Mobile Odin is available on play store and the root zip is floating around here.. let me know if u need a link for it

Word? I learned something today
My comp is a mac so I'm basically screwed 99% of the tIme.. I threw Odin, the samsung drIvers, and the cwm .tar on a jump drive and did it quick at a buddy's who has a pc.. then just flash the root zip and I was off and running.. I stayed stock for a day tho (shamelessly pats self on back)

you could also have used a virtual machine or bootcamp or whatever else. as for OP, no at this point there is no way to root without a PC. Just find a friend that has one, or an internet cafe or something.

I'm coming from a evo 3d and just got this phone yesterday. Is flashing a recovery in Odin and installing super user really all it takes to root this phone?

[Q] Lost root with 4.1.2 update, how can I re-root?

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!!!!!!!

[Q] root: I'm lost, so many steps and threads. Please help

Hey everyone,
I would like to know what is the simplest way to root my N7100.
Here I've made all possible automatic updates and my fw is 4.1.2 N7100XXDLK7.
My purpose is to have root access so I could run applications like Titanium Backup, restore some applications settings (like Angry Birds scores, yes ) etc.
Do I really need to flash another fw on it with ODIN?
Thanks and best regards
Since your new & lost, download this pre-rooted FW
N7100XXDMC3_N7100ODDDMD1_N7100DDDLK
http://d-h.st/2rD
Flash with Odin
You can also just follow this guide, very straight forward and easy..

Hi, what does it mean ? Is it for warranty or ?
It would be covered under warranty untill u dont flash any zips which will raise the binary counter to claim warranty you could unroot ur device factory reset no signs of root and you can claim it.

yes,
actually if you root any latest ROM with conventional method (CF auto root/CWM) that will raise flash counter and voids warranty untill you reset flash counter. for newbies or who scare to root or finding hard to root and reset counter, i have made pre rooted ROM, which is nothing but same samsung stock ROM + root file pushed in ROM so you will need not to root and hence no need to reset counter.

M919 Wifi wont work after root

Hi,
I used odin to root, i did everything on the video, i know some people are having the same issue, but i cannot find any solution. I have the S4 tmobile.
Thanks.
Do a full wipe.

Did you use cf auto root by chainfire. If not what root method did you use .And what version of odin did you use it should be version 3.07
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app
i used this method
androidrootz.com/2013/05/how-root-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-s4-gt.html
I used odin 1.85
I flashed to a google edition rom and it works now! I really wanted to use the stock rom.
thanks.
Wrong wrong wrong.that isn't the correct method. And you went to another website outside of xda and come back to xda for help that's a no no.and that isn't how it works here on xda .number one dont for get this stick with xda dont download any programs or zip files that isn't associated with xda if you do it will be considered warez and you want get any help .now this is what you need to do get that crap off of your pc all of it
Next come back to xda and download the correct version of odin 3.07 and download cf auto root by chainfire and before you flash anything make sure you read the op and follow the directions to the letter no short cuts anyway I see you got to work for you happy flashing

I found the link in the xda under "Welcome To the Complete Guide for Just About Anything for T-Mobile Galaxy S4!"
i know that the links are outside xda.
now i am trying to unroot with odin 3.07, but the links are from the other website. i am just going back to stock and they try to root again using the cf auto root by chainfire. that should work, right?

thanks everyone!
i got it to work, i followed the instructions to unroot and to reset the counts. some how after all that even if i got everything to say it was official, i was getting the message that says that there was a program trying to execute on the phone and to prevent i had to reboot, but i was just a loop, and the wifi wasnt working, so after the unroot and the reset count i had to flash with odin one more time using the offcial stock rom, and only after that the wifi work and the message went away. i did wipe cache and data several times during the process.
thanks

[Q] Does installing a custom recovery root your phone or not? Note 2 t0lte CM

Just had a quick question. Since i'm new and a first time rooter, i'm following the instructions on how to install CM on my Note II LTE i317M from the CM wiki site. I'm wondering if the first set of instructions "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2 LTE" requires root access or if it gives me root access. The instructions involve clockworkmod recovery and the Heimdall Suite. If it gives root access then cool, i'll be on my way but if it doesn't and it requires root, which rooting method is suggested? I've seen mrRobinson's injected factory root image and also chainfire's method. Help please, i really appreciate the guidance! Thanks in advance!
Edit: And does the t0lte on CM's wiki include my i317M Note 2? As there is no Rogers i317M option to click so i'm assuming "Note 2 LTE t0lte" includes my phone.
No, you must root first then install recovery.
I would recommend watching some videos on YouTube and reading some more.
Recovery is not root...rather a stepping stone to allow it...
A custom recovery will allow the installation and modification of your OS...but root includes files being placed onto the device giving you full administrator rights...
Continued research will provide you the answers you seek...and won't bore you to tears like I will...LOL
Welcome ...and I do suggest that you fully read the first few posts of the CF auto root thread ...as it is the process you will likely use ...

Like ^^^^ said. You don't need root access to flash a recovery or a rom. Root assess is for working within your operating system (the flashed and installed rom), for tasks like modifying protected files and running certain apps that need to modify the system files.
i just got 2 answers, one person said yes i have to root and another said i dont have to root... confusing...
You need to root your device in order to flash Custom Recovery. With Custom Recovery installed you can now flash Custom ROMs, take nandroid backups, restore from backups etc.
