[Q] Note 2 help with rooting

Hello XDA,
I am trying to root my new GT-N7100. I have had previous experience with Galaxy S3 and custom roms but with windows. I am trying to root my Note 2 with a mac book pro (heimdall method). I have followed every step carefully and dont seem to go anywhere. I followed steps from this link:
galaxynote2.com
The problem :
After I follow the last step (8 - Pressing UP+HOME+POWER), All I get is the Note 2 splash screen flashing as if there is a graphical glitch. The entire stuff just glitches up and down for a few times like a old TV and eventually the phone goes off, but the haptic feedback is active when I touch the keys besides home button so i am guessing the CWM recovery is working but just that there is nothing to see. Not sure what to do, any help is gladly appreciated.
Oh and another problem is that I get horrible static during any VOIP calls like Skype or Viber. Does anyone know whats the problem?
TIA,
findanish

Use windows only if you are new to android. Try using a friend's, neighbor's, cyber cafe computer. Heimdall needs experience. Or use virtual machine to install Windows trial like windows 8 enterprise evaluation

You're overcomplicating things. You don't need a Mac or a Windows machine, or ODIN or Heimdall to root your Note II. You don't even need a PC at all. All you need is Exynos Abuse.
Just make sure your handset is in good, working order, (i.e. - No bugs or goofy crap leftover from the failed rooting attempts.) and root using the Exynos Abuse *.apk from Chainfire. Just enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings > Security, and install the *.apk. Once it's installed, open it up and just click to root. It's that easy. All the relevant information, as well as the *.apk, is in the thread linked below.

Let me know if this helped. Take care and have a good one!

Thanks for the help guys!
After I rooted the device using ExynosAbuse.apk, it did say the device was rooted but when I go back to recovery to install a custom rom the same issue occurs where the entire screen goes bonkers. I have to shut the device down completely and restart it to get it back to normal state.
On a different note, when i head over to ODIN mode by pressing down+home+power, custom binary download : Yes (3 counts)
Not sure where to head.
Would a video of the problem help?
TIA

It looks like you may need to ODIN-flash back to stock. If you can get on a Windows machine, flash back to stock and then reroot. Once you do that, you can install your preferred custom recovery using MobileODIN. That should take care of you.

I sure will try that, but just a few questions.. Is unrooting not possible using a mac? If I use a windows machine, Do I need to download the original stock firmware from samsung-updates.com to begin with?
Will report back if I have any more issues.

Alternatively u may buy mobileodin pro from play store and flash recovery cwm from there. I no longer need to use my pc since. Unless i mess up my partition. Lol enjoy.

That's assuming his recovery is the only thing ****ed up. MobileODIN is great; but it is entirely dependant on a fully functional device. If your device is having issues, using MobileODIN is just an unnecessary risk.

Hello again,
I am back with a bad news unfortunately. After I unrooted and wiped the entire phone to default Official Samsung rom using a windows 7 system (ODIN method). It successfully passed and I even got the stock recovery. But after i rooted it using ODIN with the latest CWM recovery, the same issue occurred. I am really disappointed with the way this phones acting, any help is greatly appreciated!
TIA

What official rom ur on? What version of odin ur using? Can u try root via exynos abuse apk rather than odin? Is unknown sources and usb debugging selected? Can u flash philz touch 3.81 cwm? Try doing the recovery flash via mobile odin.

I am on baseband : N7100DDALIA and build : JRO03.N7100XXALJ1.
I used Odin v3 1.85, I dont really remember if unknown source or Debugging mode was on when I rerooted the phone. I will have to unroot the phone all over again to try the ExynosAbuse apk.
Thanks for all the help bro!

Hello again,
Its the same issue once again
ExynosAbuse.apk did not help. Everything looks perfectly normal when i go through the rooting process but the moment i try to enter the recovery the screen jumps across and sometimes shows the GT-N7100 splash screen halfway and the phone just goes blank. I have to press and hold the power button a couple of times for the phone to restart.

i had the same problem.. and unfortunately i had no cwm backup. I resolved it by flashing one of the custom roms (ARHD in particular).. I am assuming your sg note 2 is rooted and u have cwm recovery.. so you can still boot into recovery by holding volume up , power and home simultaneously then backup. subsequently after flashing with custom rom and your phone is booting , you can do advanced restore and restore data only.. hope it works

The note 2 comes with jelly bean stock
Were you able to install cwm by using jaycooi's link?
That would let you get a custom ROM installed.
Otherwise you could try downloading your stock firmware from Sammobile.com/firmware
Then flashing that through Odin. Could get you back up and running

4.3 clean root on SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5

Ok so this is what i did to root my Telus Device SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5
I started with a factory reset from backup and reset dont think this is necessary but nice to do with a clean isntall
once that was done i turned off the device and booted into download mode volume down + home + power
opened ODIN 3.09 and added the CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m.tar.md5 to the AP section. then clicked start. once done the device restarts back to normal and the root is applied, but during that KNOX detects it and disables it from working.
plug device into computer and ran Kies 3 and ran a firmware upgrade and initialization. took about 20 minutes.
once phone started you will notice superSU is no longer on your system.
TEST FOR THIS PART... PROBABLY not necessary but i did this and this is what happened.
run KNOX and allow it to Install. once done it will ask you to add passwords and at the end it will say it is not compatible with this device or whatever. KNOX has now terminated its warrenty or what not and will not install.
i did not have an update for superSU on Google Play but i DID have the update on Aptoide. so i updated it and ran the program.
program told me it was no longer on the device saying the libraries or whatever were not there.
so i ran Odin and ran AP again and ran it once it was done phone started and no messages and superSU worked.
because now that you factory loaded from kies for some reason it knows you attempted it the first time that now knox will not work
not quite sure how that works or if its even relevant. but when you see in the download mode it says warrenty void 1 or whatever and the knox crap its all disabled now i am guessing because i got no problems or messages once i finished it all
so step by step.
STEP 1. put in download mode and run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. reset time are the only ones with check marks and then click START.
STEP 2 Once device reboots you will get errors and knox blocking it. this is normal. (for me it was anyway) open Kies 3 and do firmware upgrade and initialization. depending on internet connection this could take some time. you may be able to Odin the firmware but i chose kies 3
STEP 3 Once system restore from Kies is done open KNOX and install it. should fail and say not available for this device. (happened on my device)
STEP 4 either run aptoide and download the update for superSU tho you dont see it, its still there. open that will tell you to re do the root process again.
STEP 5 run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. Reset Time are the only ones with check marks and then click start.
STEP 6 once device has started download root checker from the google play store and test. should say success.
i did at first after i root checked it with success i rebooted the device and started it up then opened superSU asked me to download binaries i pressed back by accident and then it said knox detected would you like to try and disable knox. select yes. and then success
you are rooted and no more notifications.
THESE ARE THE STEPS THAT I DID TO ROOT MY DEVICE FOR THE SPECIFIC MODEL AND BUILD so results may differ from others. so far its worked on my SGH-I317M TELUS phone running virgin mobile sim
Hope everyone else has as much success as i did.

If you just want a custom rom all you really need to do is update the bootloader or already be on 4.3 official then just boot into download mode use Odin 1.85 to flash twrp recovery wipe your data and flash the rom you want. Or just update to official use chain fire auto root and just update supersu it will disable Knox.

If you can't find a Odin modem I would update to official then re root and flash away.

Thanks but I am not that keen on getting the official rom. For one I hate using kies, it was a mess when i tried to update with my old s3, so I have not used it at all. Plus I have tons of stuff on my current phone that i would need to restore after things are done.
Also, i'd rather not having to deal with knox if i can, even though the phone is out of first yr warranty period. I have always used custom roms on my note 2 and s3 so i will leave at that for now.

I tried that method didn't work for me. I couldn't update or use superSU maybe the root I used didn't fully install but they way I wrote down to doing it on stock room works every time.
I haven't tinkered with any custom roms yet either, not sure what's the benefit of them

The main reason to use a custom rom is to remove all carrier related stuff on your phone. It also let's you add different mods and features you want. For example you can use the note 3 roms. Pretty much turn your phone into a note 3.

Today no mobile data
Basically - I have no mobile data (it seems) How can I diagnose my problem. Is there something to show signal strength. Or is there a log file showing whether my modem is handshaking or what can a guy do?

Theres no root for the t807V.

I dont see root for the Sprint SM-T807P. are there any plans in the works for it? If not, is there a way to restore external memory card write access?

Until a rom is released from sammobile and someone sends some sort of file to beanstown or chainfire. Then there wouldnt be one untill one does so and until its on sammobile.

Vietnamese on Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5?
Hi, I was wondering if rooting the device would allow me to have Vietnamese as an language for the tablet. I read somewhere that Vietnamese is an option for some versions, so do I just need to flash a custom rom? Thanks.

Rooting/Tripping Knox - Boot Animation
Does the boot animation change in anyway (like showing a yellow triangle or something) after rooting / tripping Knox? I know some devices will show a yellow triangle during boot if you're running a custom rom, but I was wondering if it does something similar after rooting but still running the stock rom.

Nope after its flashed a red android dude or something popup will install supersu and give root. After that everything stays the same. The way samsung sees your rooted is by going into download mode.

Awesome - Thanks! I was hoping that was the case, that way I can still return it if I decide not to keep it (loving it thus far so I have no plans to return it).
Just out of curiosity, have you installed a custom recovery? If so, which one and have you had any issues performing a backup & restore? I saw where TWRP has (had?) an issue that prevented you from reading/writing to internal storage after restoring data. Would like to try out the CM11 ROM, but I'll hold off if you can't restore backups.

I have install a custom recovery and rom. Ive have not had issues backing and restoring with twrp. Idk about r/w part to internal storage. More people said that twrp 7.1.1 something has worked without any problems. I can confirm this too as I am using that version of twrp with no issues. As for the latest twrp 8.1.1somesort people said they were having problems with some of the stuff you mentioned. I have not tried it yet but twrp 7.1.1 or somesort works A ok. I also have restored my backuped from custom roms and it works just fine on twrp 7.1.1. So twrp 7.1.1 or something like that is your best bet. Hope this helps!

New T800 Tab S 10.5
I bought this nice piece for my mom in law who is German - and had to learn, that it doesn`t support German unless I use apps which need it to be rooted ... . So I wonder if the given directions work on this brandnew tab. It's type reads T800NZWAXAR and not T800XXU1ANH1. Can I root it with the given file (ID chagallwifixx) and won't brick it?
Any Help?

So has anyone achieved root with the latest update, ANK1 US version.
I'm hearing that Autoroot isn't working? I hope that's not true.

Root works fine. I first updated to ANK1 then rooted with Autoroot. Worked without issue.

Heeeelp, force closes and reboots all the time :(

Hello guys,

I downloaded two versions of the firmware on SamMobile and installed one by odin. when the Tab rebooted, everything stops working and restarts the tablet. ui system stopped working. TouchWiz stopped working. I tried to make a full wipe. But it did not solved.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

By downgrade, do u mean go to the previous version of android that u were trying to upgrade?
---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------
Or just so whatever Kies gives u

I'm experiencing the same force closes and reboots after updating

Yes, you can easily downgrade
You can simply download whatever you want to have on your tab from www.sammobile.com and flash it,
Go there, go to firmware section, type in your device model number, search for your country's firmwares, select which android version you want, which update you want
And download it
Then flash it from Odin
That's it, you are done

Can you provide logcat? Though not to me, but to some other DEV and ask for solution after telling them your problem,
Give it to me too, I will try but can't guarantee to tell you the possible solution(may be)

Im sorry man, but I dont know what is logcat.
That ia very difference, as I told I have a galaxy note 3, and when something is wrong, I install a firmware by Odin and everything back to works.
I already tried 3 firmwares in that tablet and I got the same result, force closes and reboots.

There is no way to get the old bootloader. All 4.1.2 firmwares did not come with a bootloader. Odin stock 4.4.2 then install a 4.4.2 based rom.

Tried dat still doesn't work. my sister tab was 4.1.2 she didn't update and whens she flash a 4.4.2 rom she has no problems or bugs like i do

Did you tried factory reset after flashing stock rom? If not then try it them reply
