Hi Guys
Just a quick question:
I have rooted my Note 2 with ExynosAbuse and installed the latest TWRP.
Now, if I upgrade to any other ROM, would I still have root or would I lose it after that?
I have on N7100 with bootloader N7100XXALJ2
Thanks
The root files are present in the 'system' partition of your device.. so if you flash a custom rom, most probably youl have root access because devs always provide root. In case you lose root (if you flash a stock firmware), you can simply flash the superSU.zip from custom recovery

So this means regardless, I would not lose CustomRecovery.
Thanks for your help!

Hello
I have rooted my Galaxy Note II and installed CWM for the recovery. I am also running a stock ROM. There is a new OTA update, and before I am going to do it, quick question: when I update, will I still have root access or will it break it somehow? I'm running the Stock 4.1.1
Flash stock recovery..so u can get ota then just root again..rooting takes 3 seconds

The update did not work for some reason. Is there anything else that would need to be changed in order for the update to work?
U have stock recovery?

Hello,
I too had root, CWM recovery and stock ROM on my note 2 and was able to successfully take the OTA update to 4.1.2 and retain root access. I obviously have a stock recovery now after the upgrade but root is still present! I did have SuperSU (paid for version) that has the Survive OTA update mode and it worked like a charm! One thing to note is that it was not obvious at first that root was retained.
Immediately after the update, my root access failed when trying to use Titanium backup. Also, other apps requiring root access were failing as well. So, I went into SuperSU and ticked the "enable Super User" mode off and then on again and rebooted the phone.
After the reboot I noticed that Titanium Backup had root access and then verified the rest of my apps were working as well.
Three cheers to the creators of these wonderful programs.....I'm very glad I paid for the updates and got the added functionality!!
Good luck to all and hopefully it works as well for you as it did for me!!
I was wondering whether or not it is possible for me to flash a zip through stock recovery without root access. All I want to flash is the emoji keyboard...I lost my USB cord so I can't root my phone atm...is this possible?
Unfortunately, No.

Hi Folk,
I have a N7105 and I'm quite familiar with rooting and flashing roms...
atm I'm on 4.1.2 stock rom, due to a repair case, I'm still on stock because I wanted to see what Samsung
has to offer in the new 4.3. But there is no Air command etc, and I read a lot about problems with Knox and the new boot loader..
Now I want to flash a custom rom (most likely 4.1) and there is my question:
Do I have to root the stock first or is it enough to just flash a custom recovery trough Odin and flash the custom rom ??
I can't see any sense in rooting the rom before flashing, it gets eliminated anyway... but I am no expert...
Cheers
there's no need to root your rom, just flash recovery with odin and then flash any rom with the recovery

I just got a Rogers note 2. I'm a little lost on how to install a custom rom/recovery on this device. I only have experience with the nexus 4 and htc one x,s and evo 3D. So i know the basic adb commands and such and have fastboot set up. Basically as an end result I want a custom rom, kernel and a working recovery. I was also wondering if a custom rom such as cm10 supports the s-pen? and can I flash a at&t rom on my Canadian phone?

Model: SGH-I317M

S Pen: you can get some spen feature with AOSP roms but most of em will not be like a touchwiz rom.
Yes you can use att rom on your note but you might need to manually input your APN. This is no big deal.

So do I not need Odin to install a recovery on my phone?

You can do it both way. If you have a costum recovery installed you can flash the zip file provided in the thread. If not you can flash it with Odin.
It all in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159652

You first need to root, I think there are two ways of doing it, I usually do it with odin and cf-autoroot. I'm not familiar with other ways.
Then you can install recovery trough odin OR using goo manager from playstore and press menu, install open recovey script
Once you have done all this, you will be ready to install a new rom.
Take a look at the cf-autoroot thread and the twrp thread in the development section.
Read a lot before attempting stuff, you need to prepare yourself and understabd how it works or your risk ending up with an expensive paperweight.

OK sounds good. I just thought some firmware you couldn't root. Am I good to install kernels like that too? Most phones I have owned need an unlocked boot loader to flash kernels. Are Samsung phone pre unlocked.
Can anyone direct me into the thread that shows step by step how to add a custom recovery , root and install a custom rom on the stock Android 4.4.2 rom..I haven't installed roms on xda in a while ...so im kinda out of the loop and confused on what I need to do ..thanks
Odin your preferred recovery, reboot to recovery, wipe, and flash your custom ROM.. That's it.. And you can make a nandroid before if you choose to as well.. Your thread says rooting but you talk about installing a custom ROM, for rooting I was gonna suggest cf-auto root or saferoot, but its not needed

after rooting, what is a good recovery to install and good rom that gives good battery life to install? Thanks.
I'm using clockworkmod for a custom recovery, and Insane Kitkat as my rom. Battery life is very good.
