[Q] How to root and install a recovery - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I cant seem to find an updated guide with files to root and install a custome recovery on the sprint note 2 with 4.3 can someone help me find a link or get me the files etc?
Thanks

Recovery
I went to cyanogenmods website and ran the installer as directed. That installed cyanogenmod and rooted the device automatically, then you can download and flash any of the other custom ROMs on this site.

I rooted 4.3 with allinone toolkit clicking older variation and worked fine

My note 2 is blocking the cyanogenmod installer. It says unartherized access to a secured area on your phone without authorization has been blocked.
I'm stumped just got this phone and it is a pain to root

Do this
1. Boot into download/bootloader mode.
2. Connect to pc and use odin to flash twrp. Make sure you uncheck reboot and flash twrp in the pda slot.
3. Once flashed pull battery and disconnect from pc.
4. Press vol+ menu power buttons while inserting battery (yes it is difficult but can be done)
5. Now in recovery perform factory reset.
6. Flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36388145
7. Now reboot it will act/look weird but dont worry this is normal. It will reboot and take a long time to boot.
Now you are on stock mc2 (no knox anymore). Root using cf autoroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33278464
Now use odin once again and flash your recovery again. Now you are rooted and have a custom recovery. Oh and you have a working phone again.

Before I do all of that...I discovered I can boot into TWRP and updated it to the newest version. Then I installed the cyanogen nightly onto the phone. Everything seemed to be working ok except I couldn't get any phone signal but wifi worked. I tried loading the dirty unicornes rom and the same thing happened . I then flashed cm 10.1 and the phone worked for calls but the asop keyboard kept crashing and couldn't login to the wifi network. I tried several installs with factory resets with the same results. If I follow the directions you listed will I be able to install these roms and the phone work for calls or am I missing another piece of the puzzle?

Manually flash the OTA 4.1.2 update

There seems to be quite a good number of folks here that have not yet received the OTA update.
For those that are tired of checking and waiting or playing the date game. See the last post in link below and be sure to thank reinbeau for hosting the file:
AT&T to release OTA update on Dec. 27 to enable Multi-Window on Note II
reinbeau said:
Ok, guys, go blow up my Mediafire account. update.zip. I used the /cache method and stock recovery, didn't wipe my phone but did break root; you are welcome to CWM it in Recovery, but it will wipe. Enjoy it while it lasts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: There are two ways to apply this update. The method I recommend requires that you be rooted.
Method 1:
Download the update zip file from the link that is referenced in above post. Root your phone and use root explorer to copy to /cache. Once copied; do full unroot, reboot into recovery, flash from cache, then reboot and enjoy 4.1.2.
Another note: Just to clarify, this update file is for stock 4.1.2 that is sent via OTA. Also, I suggest to unroot before installing the update because it will break root. You can root again using the exynos exploit after applying the update. Also, this process does require stock recovery!
Method 2:
If you do not want to root your phone. You can save the update.zip on your external sdcard and apply from there but by doing so I believe it will wipe your device. By updating from cache, I was able to update my wife's phone without it being wiped clean.

That's because this has not been released to Kies. If you were on stock rom and recovery, your status should show normal and it should show as official when you boot into download mode.
Also, if this was not official, you wont be able to flash this using stock recovery since it checks the signature for the file and it would have failed signature verification.

Hopefully it I'll end the "I haven't gotten the update yet "

I tried recovery (volume up+home+power). I left buttons pressed and it only shows NOTE II splash screen then blanck then the screen again every 10 or so seconds.. never gets into recovery mode. It boot normally if I just press power button, and it goes into odin if I do VOL down +home+power. Any ideas why recovery is not working?

First of all you need to get into recovery mode, not download mode. To get into recovery you hold Volume up+Home button+Power button. You should only hold this three button combo until the screen flashes with the splash screen then immediately let go.

I was copying the file with root explorer.
I mentioned the "download mode " screen just to give a picture of the phone behavior(what is working vs what was not), did not meant to cause confusion there.
I have a new problem now as mentioned in my last post
I an attempt to get into recovery and clear the cache, I read in a forum that I could get into recovery via GOOMANAGER. I installed it and used "reboot to recovery " and now phone is stuck in ENLESS LOOP of the "samsung NOTE 2" screen.
I cannot make it boot normally now.I think the phone is stuck trynig to get into recovery similar to the manual way described before (when I press UP+HOME+POWER to get into recovery phone only looped samsung screen). HOw can I break the loop ?
The only screen working right now is ODIN (DOWN +HOME+POWER).
Go to sammobile and download the stock rom then flash via odin.

I'm not understanding how to do this. My device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Bell version 317 which I understand is the same as AT&T. I have unlocked and rooted my device on 4.1.1 and have Root explorer installed. Downloaded the update link and copied that file into the /cache folder....unrooted via superuser. When I try to get in2 recovery it is successful but I don't know what to do from there.....there's an option to format cache which I'm assuming will delete everything in that folder.
Also, I cannot install the zip via external sd card which the update is also on
Any help?

[Q] First attempt at custom ROM --> [ROM][JB] All Star Rom v6

Happy New Year
First attempt at custom ROM, heard great things about All Star Rom - going straight for the v6! Unless told not to ... LOL
Have a rooted device,with latest TWRP recovery 2.3.3.1-hercules .tar flashed.
Have v6 and All-Star 4.2 custom gapps downloaded.
Copy of instructions for reference sake:
TWRP recovery recommended!
- wipe data
- wipe system
-(Use Darkside Super wipe if still on cwm 5.0.2.7 or below)
- flash rom
- flash All-Star 4.2 gapps
- wipe cache/ dalvik cache.
- reboot and wait 10 mins
- reboot and wait 1 minute
- Grant Superuser permissions for Switchme
- set up device.
- Initiate the CPU sleeper app
- (Highly Recommended) ENJOY!
Booting into TWRP recovery,
I don't specifically have a "wipe data" option, I want to be very thorough here.
Under "Wipe" I have Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, ... and System.
Quick answer? Thanks.
Hey, happy new years justaguy705. Nice to see you asking questions again.
To answer your question, the option where you see "Factory Reset" is the exact same as "Wipe data". Cheers!

Unless you have a recovery system already. You will need a computer to install a recovery system such as TWRP 2.3.3.0 to your phone through Odin (PC application).

He may have a custom recovery file, but from what I know to install the latest and recommended TWRP recovery you would need to have a computer to flash it. But you are free to explain to him with your steps to flashing without a computer.

Make sure your phone is off and not connected to a USB cable. Press and hold the "volume up/volume down" keys and then press the power button until you feel a vibrate and the screen turns on. After that you should be in recovery mode and it will say the version you are using. If you have a CWM recovery version greater than 6.0 you should be able to flash a ROM through your phone.

To flash TWRP on to your phone and you still do not have access to a computer, you can try using the Mobile Odin app on the Play store as android88 had mentioned above (however, the app is around $5.00 if you're willing to purchase it). Otherwise, flashing the recovery system through Odin using a computer is the way to do it.

If by that u mean volume, power and home button. No it didn't.I tried booting threw ROM manager and it detects my recovery, but doesn't do anything.
Is there a way to flash a ROM threw download mode without a PC. I remember the Evo was capable of doing it threw bootloader.
Do you want to get root? Or flash a rom?
To boot into recovery it's power+home+vol up

I thought you had to enable root under settings? It has been a while since I've used Cm, but I remember they disabled root access by default . It seems like he can still get into recovery.

I had root access and I'm currently running a 10.2 nightly of cm 4.3 with a few glitches. So I want to flash a 100% working ROM. I can't boot into recovery with any app due to the fact it requires su permission and I have no binaries according to su. I cant get into recovery either using 3 finger method the Samsung logo appears with the blue words on the top left, but it doesn't do anything after that. ROM manager shows my recovery as twrp so I'm in a pickle....lol
And no on turning on root in settings.
Then you need to find a computer to flash recovery again via odin, otherwise flash a rooted rom via odin.

You can use odin to flash recovery and then you can flash the root.zip it should work. But I would use odin to flash to a stock rom first.

You can flash recovery without a computer.
Download the recovery image file, rename it to rec.img
Go into terminal emulator
Code:
su
dd if=/path/to/rec.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Be very careful when typing the second command.

That might be a problem I need to type su and since I have no binaries my terminal emulator won't have su privileges.

And no on turning on root in settings.

There isn't an option under settings --> developer options for root? At one time, they had didn't options for apps, adb, or both. You would need the both box checked for it to boot into recovery via an app. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not even sure if they still do it this way.
And it is strange that you can't boot in recovery. Instead of the power off, then hold volume up, home button, and power....have you just tried to reboot the phone and when the screen goes blank hold the volume up and home? I've had luck getting into recovery by that.
Plus, if you are running CM, there should be a reboot option for recovery when you power off. Reboot --> recovery.
Last idea, have you tried to download goo manager from the market? That works well with TWRP.

I tried goo and that didn't work.
Cm does have the reboot options, but it had to be turned on. Developer options doesnt show up under settings, but I remember there was a way to turn it on. I went under "About phone or Device" clicked on everything like 10 times and I forgot which 1 it was, but I unlocked developer options. Turned on reboot menu. Rebooted phone into recovery and although it took a while I got into recovery. Flashed a new rom and I'm back in action.
Thank u guys honestly. I could not have done it without u guys.
Glad u got it

U definitely missed it. Go to the original development section the cm 10.1 thread and I think it was 10 pages back from the last page. They posted an EARLY preview. Had a few glitches but nothing to major.
Its the first post on page 657. A few post down are the gapps.

No recoveries found for my device?

I am trying to root my note 3 but I am having nothing but problems. I factory reset my phone a couple times no just because I want to start from fresh. I even flashed a stock rom on it to make it new out of box.
So what I have done is.
1. root my phone from odin on my computer
2. download goomanager from play store
3. give it super user access.
4. Press the menu button and press "install openrecoveryscript"
5. Press "Yes"
6. Then I get a message saying "No recoveries found for your device"
Now I am stuck and have no idea what to do. I have a tmobile note 3

what exactly is the error? If you download the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.7-hltetmo.img.tar and put it in the AP or PDA slot in odin, it should work. If it still does not work, I recommend asking in the official thread here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001

Yup. Download the ROM you want. Boot to twrp. Backup. Factory reset. Flash ROM.

Now booting to twrp is just powering off your phone, holding UP (I think) volume, home, and power right?

CF Auto root IS NOT cf auto rooting after 4.4.

Flashed the Columbian 4.4.2 via Odin and went to root it with CF Auto root following all of the instructions, but when I open titanium backup and SUpersu I am told that I dont have the correct binaries installed. Warrantee bit is 1. So I screwed my warrantee and don't even have root to show for it. I have tried the procedure 3 times now with no results. Thanks for any help.
Flash TWRP, then flash the supersu.zip via the recovery.

Can someone please spell it out for me? I have always used ClockworkMOD.
I have installed the KK image, all is working well. I flashed ChainFire's autoroot via Odin and root is not showing. What am I missing? I can't install TWRP via PlayStore as I am not rooted and installing SuperSU gives me the same issue.

Download TWRP from their website. Use version 2.6.3.3 that's the stable one. When you download, download the IMG.Tar one. Don't unzip it.
Put tablet into download mode and connect to odin. In Odin untick auto reboot, press AP and click the twrp you downloaded and flash.
Then reboot into recovery and flash SU zip

Thanks for the help. Followed all of the steps, but can't boot into recovery. I used to have a custom boot menu that allowed me to do it, but it is gone. I am powering off the device, holding Vol UP and power. When I see the Galaxy Note splash screen, I am releasing power. I have tried a ton of times and it is not working.

So when I do that, it stays on the Galaxy Note splashscreen forever. I hold down power again and it reboots.
Maybe i have to order of operations wrong. I can start over.
I have the KK update installed, all is working fine.
I need to flash TWRP, ChainFire AutoRoot, and SuperSU.
If I were to start over, I should flash Autoroot with Odin, then TWRP with Odin? Then I should be able to boot into recovery with your instructions and flash the SuperSU zip file in recovery?
Sorry, normally this stuff is easy for me. Not sure why I am struggling so much here.

Now you're confusing me
The first bit of you're post is correct. Autoroot, then Twrp then su zip
When flashing TWRP make sure to untick auto reboot in odin or it probably won't work

That is the issue I think. The version of Odin I am using has Auto Reboot greyed out. Won't let me uncheck it. I am using Odin v3.09.

Have you tried exiting completely and then trying again. Or sometimes you have to add the file in odin first and then you can change it.

I think that this is the issue. Auto Reboot stays greyed out in Odin. Even if I load the TWRP file first. Maybe I need another version of Odin?

Using Odin 3.07 I was able to uncheck auto reboot. Once I flashed TWRP, it was just sitting in the download mode screen of course. I held power and it rebooted. Still unable to get into recovery mode.

Did you download 2.6.3.3 version? Also make sure you got the right one lt03wifiue. Power+vol up+home then only release the power button as soon as you see Samsung note screen, the first one
Make sure the file is flashed before rebooting.
