I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

Easiest would be to just flash mrRobinsons root66 fw. Its in development section.
Otherwise, in odin uncheck auto reboot and flash recovery. Then after flashing recovery unplug, hold power till it shuts off, tgen release and immediately press vol up + home + power (be quick). When you see blue text flash at top of the screen release buttons. Now in recovery flash superuser, reboot, and delete/rename these:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Reinstall recovery using rom or goo manager.
Done!

Morning,
Loving the site, tons of stuff..Almost to much lol Anyway, so just getting into rooting. I used option 2 of simple lifes rooting guide. Now I want to run the jedi13 rom, but I cant figure out how to flash the rom because of the way the phone boots... pretty easy rooting process, but now I can't figure out how to flash the rom or re root due to the new initial boot directory when I vol+ home pwr up the phone... I've looked through tons of guides, but still no luck :banghead:

After rooting the device, did you install a custom recovery? you can download goo manager in the play store and install TWRP recovery and reboot to it. If you already have the recovery installed and cant boot to the recovery then use adb to reboot it. Or another way is download terminal emulator and reboot using command lines from you for...only if you have root.
are you on stock or non stock recovery .. And to get into download mode . As far as i know from a off state hold down vol down and power button . to get into down load mode and its vol up to recovery ..
Not tried on my note but its how it goes on the note 10.1 tablet and other samsung devices i have had

Negative, only stuff I installed after the root was superSU and titanium backup.. both of the paid versions. .. When I power up holding vol+ Home Power instead of any upload option I just get the following
Reboot sys now
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
Tried wipe data/factory reset to clear the root mod (multi-csc), but basically just wiped my phone of everything else except the root, lol, so at that point I figured I should ask for help..
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
that is the stock recovery. You need to get root again since u factory reset it. Once u get superSU go to play store and download goo manager to install TWRP or if you prefer CWR then install rom manager.

You don't have to reroot after a factory reset, these aren't iphones (unless you just mean download supersu again) But everything else is correct

goo manager is to install TWRP recover. Open it up and and press the menu button and you see the option to install TWRP recovery.

copy your desired rom to the SDcard or internal storage and the open goo manager up again and choose reboot to recovery.

reboot again and hold vol up home and power until samsung appears then let go of power, but still hold home and vol up until recovery comes up. from there you can select to install zip ,which would be your rom. make sure to do a clean install (factory data wipe, wipe cache) Then use the instructions the op has up from where you downloaded the rom. should be good to go.

Hi guys, my S3 has finally bit the dust and my contract isnt up so i'd have to spend an absurd amount on a new phone from sprint.
So I bought THIS!
http://swappa.com/listing/AQQ856/view
http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/galaxy-note-ii/products/scout-galaxy-note-ii
And the case of course!
My question is what is the state of 4.4 roms. Because right now my S3 ( though i cant get any mobile data anymore due to hardware issues) is running 4.4 Cyanfox and it runs superbly.
Im looking for a little 4.4 in my life which roms are good? :good:
4.4 cyanfox for the n2 runs great been in it for a few days with no issues.

Nice the biggest bug ive noticed on my s3 is Bluetooth not connecting and occasionally the phone app crashing to where i cant end a call.. but its so rare that i still used it as my daily driver
Don't use Bluetooth except to beam pics between phones. Not had any call issues.

When you get it check to see if it's upgraded to 4.3. If not, don't accept the upgrade to avoid knox and happy flashing. I've also been running cyanfox (ART and HALO turned on ) with no problems.

Would you care to elaborate as to what knox and happy flashing is... I am but a mere plebeian.
Here is my ASSUMPTION:
Locked bootloader stuff they added to make XDA angry?
Edit: I read up on knox a little and it seems like I was right atleast to a degree.
IF the device is infact 4.3 what can I do to root it? Is it more difficult with 4.3 to root?
Yes you can root but Knox is not only in the ROM but the bootloader also. If it comes with 4.3 I would advise doing these steps.
1. Use Odin to flash recovery (use twrp for now you can change it later) but make sure the reboot option is NOT selected.
2. After successful Odin disconnect from PC and pull battery. Boot into recovery vol+, menu, and power button.
3. In recovery flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36388145.
4. It will reboot and show some weird things then reboot again.
5. Now you are on mc2 (4.1.2) and your Knox bootloader has also been replaced with the mc2 bootloader. If you plan on flashing a custom ROM no need to root this version. Skip to step 7.
6. Use cfauto root and you are done.
7. Now use Odin to flash your recovery of choice this time make sure the reboot option is selected.
8. It will reboot into recovery and you can flash any ROM you want. Custom Roms are already rooted unless you use Omni ROM.

Ah okay! So i can basically default back to 4.1.2, and with knox gone i can flash custom recoverys and roms.. Man knox is a punch in the Andriod Nads.
There are ways to root and remove Knox but once your Knox bootloader is tripped it can not be reset (yet). A tripped Knox can lead to service issues. So downgrading is easy and pre-knox bootloaders have flash counters that can be reset.

My ideal setup is:
Removing Knox And Replacing the bootloader with TWRP
Installing Cyanfox Rom.
1. Use Odin to flash recovery (use twrp for now you can change it later) but make sure the reboot option is NOT selected.
2. After successful Odin disconnect from PC and pull battery. Boot into recovery vol+, menu, and power button.
3. In recovery flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=36388145.

^Im assuming the above is how to remove Knox, but here is my question... Can I still use updated PRL and Radio? I know for the S3 I could download flashable zip with radio updates..and i'd just hop onto a TW rom to update the prl before.
Yes you can, and I am, use the 4.3 radio (MK4) and prl isn't rom specific.

Yes, you can use apps like Goo Manager and ROM Manager for these functions. Also, Cyanogenmod 11 has a setting in Developer Options to allow reboot to recovery from the power menu.

As JHall8 stated, you can use ROM Manager for this. Or, Gravity Box has an advanced power menu option that will allow you to reboot into recovery as well. It works perfectly.
