Hi guys, I have got a rooted galaxy note 2, I only really used the root to play games through emulators with my ps3 controller. However I don't tend to do this at all anymore, and thought I might as well Unroot and get the new update, as mine is quite outdated (last time I updated my phone it completely messed up, and took almost a week to fix, so have been scared to do it since). I was wondering if there are any risks involved when Unrooting to then upgrade the regular way via wifi through the phone? Or what steps should I take to make sure everything will be alright and nothing will be lost. Thanks a lot!
Kind regards. Kes

Hey guys. Not a noob to XDA or rooting and modding but i am a noob coming into this Epic touch. I've had alot of HTC devices and rooted all of them all kinds of ways and modded them to the extreme. Now that i have a Samsung device it seems like a whole different ballgame. So here is my question. Is Odin just the long and beginning way of rooting Samsung devices and later a one click root app will be produced? Or is Zedomax per say the only way to doing this?
I would wait for an epic1 or evolution type of root
Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

You'll get used to it in no time man, Samsung devices are really easy to modify once you understand the tools.
Don't be afraid of Odin, as long as you read directions correctly, you'll come to love it.
Odining the rooted kernel is pretty much almost as easy as One-Click-Root.
But I'm sure someone is going to make a O-C-R sooner or later just for the community to have it, so if you'd like to wait it'll be there. But I can guarantee you that you'll sooner or later be using Odin for something so you might as well just get used to it from the beginning

I used Odin for the first time today to root my device. It was ridiculously easy to use. Just follow the instructions in the root guide(s).

I'm probably going to wait for a modified kernel too. Right now I have a rooted stock kernel which allowed me to use rooted apps. Clockworkmod doesn't work with the rooted stock kernel though. Can't flash any zips just yet.
Hi all, I was going to get this phone earlier (around the end of 2011) but never got it. I finally decided to get one and its on its way now, hopefully I'll have it by tomorrow.
Last I heard if you were to root it, the scary LoS issue that I read so much about would start occurring. Now with more updates out by Sprint since then has this issue been solved? Can I root and flash roms without worrying about my data/signal being at risk?
Any clarifications on this would be appreciated, thanks.

LoS has been gone for awhile

The LoS issue has been a non-issue since modem EK02, from what I hear.
Personally, I've never encountered it, except on the subway.
Root away! Frankly, this is a hard-to-brick phone, as long as you take a bit of time to research whats involved. And don't flash ROMs intended for the "international version". (aka I9100.)
The link to the thread in my sig is considered the "easiest way", but the old hacks'll tell ya to learn to use ODIN.
Don't know how familiar you are with Samsung devices, but I would seriously spend some time reading about ROM versions, kernal versions, modem versions before attempting ANYTHING. seriously. And look up QBKing77 on youtube, his vids will set you on the right path for rooting and flashing this phone.
Thank you guys. Yes I have lots of experience with Samsung. I'm using the Nexus right now and I've had the captivate for a good part of last year. Thanks for the response and advice. I will root probably within the hour I get the phone now.

Hi all! I'm a new member, but I've been reading XDA for a couple of years now. I'm usually pretty decent at finding solutions to my own problems, but now I'm in need of a little help.
I recently had to unroot my i747 and restore back to stock firmware. That was about a month ago. Now I'm missing my CM10 and my stock Android goodness and I want to re-root. Unfortunately, none of the old methods I used work for me now. I think I've realized that the reason for this is that during my month away from CM and root-access, I foolishly OTA updated to 4.1.2. I'm also on a Mac, which I realize is yet another hurdle to jump.
I've looked and looked, and nothing I've come across seems to work. I've tried Motochopper and Casual Root but as far as I can tell, neither one supports 4.1.2 right now, and Casual's kind of buggy on Macs as it is.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this just a waiting game for the time being?
Thanks for reading!
If I were you I would just borrow a friends pc and root with chainfire auto root via odin....its the fastest and easiest in my opinion. I literally rooted my phone in my buddys truck the other day in less than a minute. Like you updated to 4.1.2 and had to re root.

Hey guys and girls just joined the site been looking around and reading alot of interesting things.
Like the title says im running 4.1.2 but i hear there might be a release of 4.2 coming the 20th?
I'm wanting to root my phone and join the club. I'm pretty much a newb when it come to this I want to make sure i do everything right when i start the process i'm a truck driver so my phone is a important part of my day to day activity and cant end up bricking my phone.
Ive been looking at youtube vids and reading comments some people having problems and some doing just fine.
Could someone recommend a link one with a video to show the process that would be great, should i wait for a over the air update to 4.2
Sprint won't be going to 4.2 . They are bypassing and the upcoming update will be 4.3. I would wate until the update comes out before you root. That way the roms and rooters will be able to be written and hou can have all the perks of an official 4.3

I disagree. I would root now. It's possible with any OTA update, it could secure the root exploit. And nothing has been really said when any update is coming. Could be a couple weeks or a couple months.
And if you're rooted already, you'll only need to wait a day or two before someone uploads a rooted version of the update to flash.
Plus, if you fubar something, it's likely already been done and you'll be able to find a fix.
And if you do depend on your phone, it's hard to say what things may get borked with the update. So by waiting those few days for the updated rom, you'll find out what is not working and can decide if updating is right for you. Sometimes updates will bork things like GPS.
Personally, I don't see anything you really gain by waiting.

Ditto on rooting before an update. Get root before the Knox **** hits your phone and your warranty is permanently b0rked. Once 4.3 and Knox is on your phone, if you ever root there's chance in hell of ever claiming on your warranty. More likely than not.

What happened with the link being removed for the toolkit download? I watched the video on post #4 seems to be easiest way to do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Is this still a good option for rooting the phone?
Any ideas?
Just got my 4.1.2 note today. Within an hour after bringing it home I found the old toolkit I rooted with my other note before I traded it. Why wait

Not wanting to wait just want an instruction how to I'm a trucker with a lap top and never have Wi-Fi unless I'm at McDonald's so I don't get to check and download what I'm needing to.
Hello everyone, I have recently dropped my phone and the screen is pretty messed up, so I went by Verizon and long story short, I will be getting a new Note II tomorrow. My current one (SCH-1605) is rooted, I am unsure if they will charge me or not because it's rooted (read some horror stories). I've done some googling and it seems like the only method I have found involves mobile oden + triangle away. Isn't there a way that involves the computer, so I don't have to buy 2 apps to unroot my device?
I have also run into some problems with getting a hold of my stock rom at stockroms.net and I come across two different roms (http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote2/SCH-I605/official) I have no idea which one I want. I do not stay in-tune with the rooting scene but I do know I love my phone rooted and I want to thank you all for making it possible to begin with and to help out nobodies with problems you guys probably answer everyday!
