[Q] Worth Rooting?

Hello!
So, I rooted my SGS before and now I have a Note II and I want to root it but I would like to be like 99% sure it won't brick my phone
Which is the safest and easiest way to root the Note II?
Specs:
Android: 4.1.1
Baseband: N7100XXALIH
Build: JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1

All modifications are performed on your own risk. You can be 99% sure, but there are always risks of course...
I used mskip's toolkit which you can find in the development section of the forum. It was extremely easy and painless so I recommend that!

No it won't and it's always worth rooting.

I can say I have rooted device nearly 200 times myself and helped thousands of note1 user to root, I have never bricked, nor I have reported brick by just rooting.

i rooted mine. it's not stupid anymore like 2 years ago when i had to use a goldcard and such.
today it's sooo simple that afaik unless you yank the cable out during flash, or your pc crashes mid flash or something then you'll be ok.

Rooting usually needs to flash recovery, so even you interrupt in between or something happens that causing it, I don't believe still you can brick it. As long as your bootloader is fine, you are safe. Usually most brick happens due to flashing wrong file particularly pit. And bootloader though hard brick is rare.

I am from Sweden and the PDA/CSC ain't listed I think. Please read my first post with specs, which should I download?

Build is PDA
Baseband is modem (phone)
Csc you can find by dialing *#1234#

Thank you!
Just a few questions left then.
1. As I said I live in Sweden, when I checked the Build and CSC it found a few on that list, should I choose United Kingdom because it's near Sweden?
2. Found this aswell http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31986738&postcount=7 is the last link if you need a backup or what?

I am confused, for rooting why all info you needs?
It is same for all

When I used CF-Root to root my SGS I had to find the CORRECT one to download... Isn't it the same with the Note II? And do you think there will be any problems if I download the United Kingdom one even if I didn't bought the phone there?

No here you can root with same recovery to any available rom now.
Though you can flash any rom of any country irrespective of your region.
Rooting method will remain same as described in post#2 of thread you mentioned in previous post.

Ah! Downloading the file that was matched with mine PDA and CSC right now... If anything goes wrong, is there a big chance it is bricked or will that result in nothing changed? Nothing brick'd and nothing rooted?

Rom file you are downloading will just change rom(won't root) flashing rom should never brick if you properly flash with odin

I havenot rooted my device yet surprisingly. most times I root my phone as soon as root is available but I've not taken the plunge yet.
Reason being it's not required as device is very smooth and responsive. Those who have rooted could you tell me if you have seen any significant improvements?
Would you recommend it, does the s pen lose any functionality?

Personally I think its not worth it to root for once...I also used to root but with this phone I have not convinced myself of a reason before it used to be just for the updates but I have the international version so updates should be painless. ...besides I just bought this $700 babe and im not ready to chance that money yet

@riz157
Just rooting can't affect performance, nor you lose any functions including s pen.
There are individual indication for all to root device. Only purpose is do root to schedule backup my data with titanium backup and for flashing some mode like calling recording

Yes you are right of course you have to flash custom Rom or mods to see improvementd our changes. I should have made myself more clear. Are there any roms out there which significantly improve performance , stability of note 2 without losing core functions of note 2?

read up, test a few out maybe? get custom recovery and backup your rom. then you can try out a few new ones. you might like it - or not. if you dont, go back to your stock rom.
i jumped to wanamlite (used his during the sgs2 days) and i don't see performance diffs. tis tweaks mostly at this point.
as always. ymmv and what i want in a rom, you might not etc. and the reverse of course.

I'm a flashaholic to be honest every handset I've bought I've flashed daily but this handset works fine as it is.
Wanamlite looks interesting and tempting. Have you noticed any issues with s pen, reading ext card, graphical glitches since flashing this Rom?

[Q] In need to some help, need to reset or nuke my phone.

OK, so here is my deal. I got my SGS2 a little over a year ago. With the help of this forum I was able to root without issue and flash many of roms. I am now at a point in my playing around that I am having issues doing anything. I would like to just factory reset in Kies, but I can't even do that. For some reason (I have a telus phone), Kies thinks I am a T-Mobile phone, or at least its what I can tell. When I launch Kies and it displays the phone and the and its settings eg: PDA, Radio, etc they all say TMB. I have no idea if that has nything to do with it or not. I tried flashing the Telus radio via Odin, though nothing changed in Kies. The last ROM I used seemed to have screw my Clock Work Recovery and I cannot figure how to get it back. I have tried re-flashing CWR, but I don't think I really understand the difference between Touch and Touch-less. As you can see I am fairly lost at this point. I am turning to all of you for help. I am open to trying anything, just point me to some guides, tips, tricks. I have tried a ton of stuff with no luck. I know these questions get asked all the time and I apologize for making another. I would not be doing so unless I really needed the help as usually I am pretty good with this stuff. I appreciate everyone in this forums and all the time they have put in to bringing us great information. I am thankful to anyone that can help me out. If you need any further info please just ask and I'll provide it as fast as I can!

I have, actually I may be running it now actually. It just seems like I have a lot of over lapping stuff. Things that were not fully removed, parts left behind, etc. Is there a easy way to lock up what ROM is running. I assume it's the stock rom as I have the Samsung Apps application on my phone and that is removed with most custom roms. Like I said I really just want to nuke this biatch and start from step one again. She is running like crap atm.

If you flashed the stock Rom you won't have cwm any more. You'll have to reflash it. The phone will be like it was when it was new.
You can get the stock Rom from Sammobile.com for your device and carrier. You 'll have to extract the tar.md5 file out of it using 7_zip. Then flash it with Odin

I think the reason I am confused is if it worked, which it appears that it did why does it retain all my data? I would just like to totally kill the ***** to nothing. I'll try flashing to stock again with the site you provided when I get. I appreciate your help!

When you say kill it, do you want to make it so it never works again?

[Request] Metro PCS Stock ROM

So I have my S4 unlocked and am using it with Metro now that they started to offer SIM cards. Everything works great with the stock T-Mo ROM. However, I would just for a day or two like to use the Metro ROM. If anyone is willing to upload a copy or knows where I can get one, let me know. Thanks.

Also waiting on this anyone have any info. Also if anyone does upload or find one will this stock rom bring everything back to stock including the recovery mode to make it look as if nothing ever happened. I guess what im really hoping for is a stock firmware anyone have a download link to one. or know of any info.

You guys should be able to use samsung keis .I used it to get back to stock when odin failed on me and it works .However you must provide the full model number and serial number of the device for it to work and it works like odin but its slower but it works it always a good when you have options especially when you need to revert to stock rom in order to send it in for repair's or exchange after you have downloaded samsung keis on your pc or laptop go ahead set it up and you will see the tabs at the top it will be the one on the right click it and follow the directions to the letter and if you've done everything correctly it will install the stock firmware and rom to your device and when its done it will reboot the s4 and your back to stock good luck

Hey thanks for the advice but for some reason samsung has not support for our device yet i installed kies before reading this trust me i tried looking everywhere for the stock firmware. in keys it just says your device is not supported. but what is weird is i dont know if i should call it a tmobile phone or just a knock off tmobile phone reason for this is. in google play store if on browser it asks u witch device to install to and it says the correct device number but at the end states tmbile. now even in kies it does this it says m919n tmb for tmobile. so im not sure what to do should i just flash tmobile firmware and then just unlock it cuz i mean from everything im coming up with it just seems that this s4"metropcs" phone is just a tmobile phone with an n and if thats the case a tmo firmware should work on it right??

Before you start flashing firmware's did you take out the battery .because thats where you can confirm that it is a sgh m919 if there is another letter at the end of m919 then you should do more research that way you dont end up with a bricked device. However if it's sgh m919 I would flash the M919 firmware for tmobile and call it a day and by the way you can get the stock firmware from chain fire's thread

I know for a fact that I have a T-Mobile m919. All I wanna do is try out the stock ROM that comes with the Metro PCS variant. No reason for it aside from curiosity.
Any links, info, or anything appreciated. Thanks.

To be honest with you I dont think you guys would ever see a stock metro pcs rom on xda because it wasn't sopprted in the past thats why you guys aren't getting anywhere with it .as a side not it always better to be safe than sorry even if is a extra step to take out the battery and check the model number there and you can check the serial number at the same location ive witness it countless times all because they wanted flash stock firmware a xtra step never killed anyone the last time I checked.

I do have a SGH-m919n. all I am wondering is if there is any location for me to find a stock metropcs firmware. I know its not supported on this site as i have looked but there really is no other big site out there. All i want to do is have a backup firmware for my phone before i start trying out new things. I do have a SGH-m919n for a fact it is just weird that everywhere i look as explained before google store and kies they both say i have a tmobile phone if you want i can provide screen shots.

Your didnt understand what I was saying . Xda has never supported any stock firmware for metro pcs.thats why your having a hard time getting any support for the stock firmware .and as a side note it is clear that you can't flash the stock firmware for the tmobile variant code name SGH M919

Since you have a M919n, notice the N at the end of the model number, why don't you do a factory restore and save the image before you boot up again? Once you have that back up you can then upload it and share
This is all assuming you have the stock Metro ROM to begin with.

I really need the Metro Rom cause I just rooted it and wanted to unroot it and I couldn't find the metropcs stock firmware so I used T-Mobile's by accident and I can't switch back to The metro rom! I really need it.
---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------
Ok, here's my story. I rooted my MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S4. I wanted to unroot it but used the T-Mobile .tar file when I was unrooting it and now when I boot my phone, it shows T-Mobile on the booting proccess, though when I am brought to the lock screen, in the bottom it says MetroPCS. Does anyone know how to go back to original stock firmware? I don't know how to get it for the MetroPCS version.

Tired of waiting. Went with 4.3 GPe, haven't looked back. Owning a Nexus 7 I couldn't be happier. Still wouldn't mind trying out that Metro ROM for fun. There is a demand for it. Just saying.

Will be getting a metro s4 soon so I'll have to root it and upload a tarp stock backup for you guys

Thx, I look foward to it, also I have a question. How exactly do you upload a tarp stock backup, my family member also has the galaxy s4 from metro and I could borrow it from him and upload it but the problem is I don't know how to.

Well number one you will need to root it and numder 2 you will need to install a custom recovery and number 3 once your custom is installed I suggest cwm and the person that needs the tar backup must also have cwm custom recovery as well .boot into recovery and do a complete backup .When thats done go to cwm backup folder and you should see the tar backup .now you upload it to where ever you need it and that s it on your part is done .Now it's up to person you've uploaded to and all he or she needs to do is download it and then move it to the cwm backup folder and when thats done your ready to flash the backup all should go well as long as the stock tar backup doesn't get corrupt .good luck

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.

Is there an updated bootloader/modem? I am on skynote 4.3 r9z, but my baseband is still LJ2, I need the mk5 modem for i317m.

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.

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.

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.

Oh.... now you have me at some interest. But is there a rom for my specific model of the note 2 to run the note 3 rom without any bugs. I've seen some for international ones the i5700 note 2 or whatever version that is but is there one for the i317m

It looks like the DN3 rom will get an update tomorrow. Right now the only bug is the contacts app not working right. I'm sure that will be fixed. I've been using it and the note 3 features are nice.

I think it got re based off of the in n7105 init rom. It should work for the 317m. The OP should have instructions for the 317m.

Look at the android development section for it. It should be one of the first roms listed. Just be aware if the update released tomorrow is re based off of the n7105 you will have to wipe again. It's nice.

Thats the part that concerns me this is designed for the n7105 note 2. mines the i317m wouldnt this potentially brick my device or cause a whack storm of problems.

Right now you just need to flash the rom then devil kernel and the 317m modem. Don't worry you won't brick. I would wait for tomorrow to flash because it will be updated and it might have all the options for the 317m. I have a 317 myself

alright ill wait till tomorrow. and hopefully i find a detailed description on how to do all this. ive only ever ran the s1 because it was bricked had to run all the modem the pda and pit or whatever a long time ago so my minds gone all fresh on the rooting and flashing roms. ive only ever run stock roms. but for 4.4 i want to get it on my device because i love the group play video and the screen recording and the other few things that are awesome on the note 3
unless there is a way to get all that on the 4.3 note 2 firmware that would be awesome as well

i317m - no mobile data with CF-auto root zip file in odin
I guess I have done enough reading to be dangerous. I wish there was a comprehensive glossary for this stuff.
Anyhow - through ODIN I have flashed CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m - and today I have no mobile data.
Where could I find an image to go back to the original phone and start again? It is an i317m Note2 from Bell
Thanks

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?

If you're rooted can you flash a custom rom and see if that fixed your issue?

[Q]Tried every suggestion for rooting Galaxy Note2 with Kot49H.l900vpucne2 4.4.2

I have been trying for days to root my Galaxy Note 2. running Kot49H.l900vpucne2 4.4.2. an update I could not stop.
Any way, I have tried, Note 2 tool kit, cf-odin, jodin3, and various other ideas I found in many forums. I have tried changing the file extension
everything. I am very perplexed! I have found the knox files, all 10 of them, but I can not delete anything without Root.
I have even tried the other Recovery programs too, none will take hold. The knox thing is a big hurdle. I can not mount them either. One denial after another. I hope I can get some other ideas today. I can not even change the rom, all I get is fail.. Also, none of the settings I give it stay either, like system update. I have turned it off and it just comes right back.I had Whompasaurus on here and I needed to update to the original to load a new rom, MK4. I could really use some step by step instructions.
I have tried using Philz touch too.
I can not believe no one has a answer or suggestions for me.
Thought this was a place to get help.

First, did you manage to root yet? If not did you try Chainfire Auto-Root (or was that "cf-odin"?) If not, hopefully, these two pages should help. I successfully rooted my Sprint Note 2 (NE2) (SPH-L900) using it. Be sure to make sure you choose the right package for your model. Good luck.
