Yes it will. '
Hopefully this thread will answer all of your questions.

yes, but you won't be getting any OTA updates if you're rooted. it'll just pop up a message saying that your device has been modified and software updates are not be available. you'll have to update manualy
Thanks for the quick response guys

Hello all,
Total newb trying to root the note 2 att I have- its in build JZO54K ALK7. I noticed from the forum post 'mskip's
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V3.1.7 "
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779
that the root capability for my specific build was just released via version 3.1.9 of this program. So does that mean I have to download a new version of the file? When I execute the toolkit application and when it says "check for new updates" and I say yes, it just times out- I suspected this is because I haven't donated. Is there a way to be able to download the 3.1.9 without donating? I am trying to use the TWRP program, but if I go into it and when they ask what device it is available for, my i317 note 2 device is not available in the list.
I am willing to donate but I am still a little unsure on how to go about it, and I also wanted to make sure everything works with my note 2.
Maybe some more help on how to go about updating and installing the new toolkit for my note 2 will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
From what I read you don't need to buy the paid version in order to root.

Well right, I understand that- but what I was wondering was even for the free version, if I can use the current version to root my 4.1.2 device, or do i need to follow some procedure to manually upgrade the toolkit? Or do I not have to worry about it?

Hi im new to the nexus scene and i have some questions so pls help me if you can:
1.Can my nexus 7 32gb wifi only edition bought from america get updates when i bring it home to europe?
2.Is rooting a nexus device really worth it? because i want to keep stock rom because its stable and the only thing im changing is the kernel.
or flash stock images if they can be installed with a custom kernel.
3. Also can i root it if i update it to the latest update (Current version is JWR66N)
Thanks in advance

May I ask something as well?
For a nexus, flashing a custom kernel requires root or unlock bootloader?
What is the use of unlock bootloader on a nexus device?
I came from a sony phone and that require unlocking bootloader to install custom kernel..not so sure about nexus.

Well you need to unlock your bootloader in order to root. I think you do need to unlock. But unlocking the bootloader is super easy so I don't see a reason not to.

BE CAREFUL of updates. Newer updates change the touchscreen driver!
If the touchscreen is working perfectly out of the box, DON'T UPDATE OTA.
If it works out of the box, I would recommend not updating and/or just flashing an updated custom rom without the touchscreen updates.

My tablet automatically downloaded the update and there is a reminder in the notification bar. Is there away to remove the notification without installing the update?

You will experience ghost touches or just check it by using an apk yamtt if you have issues..i think you can return it as long as your warranty isnt void yet

I have been reading the past couple of hours and i am sure i want to root but i read that if you update your nexus the bootloader will be updated and some partitions will too i think so my question is should i root JWR66N or update it to the latest version and then root? (Btw i will install CleanRom and i want to know if i can because i have old bootloader and partitions and stuff) Srry if confusing.

You may be in the wrong forum. JWR66 is the firmware for Nexus 7(2012). Is that what you have?

Some user who didn't have the problem have reported problems after the update. But not everyone so I'm not sure.

Hey guys and gals,
Has anyone got notified about a software update for the SM-T211today? I'm running the pre rooted Odin ROM and was wondering if anyone knows what's in the New update? Did we get kit kat?
Thanks.
Bump bump!
The file size is 118.92mb and it keeps notifying me about a software update. I want to update, but don't want to lose root. Anyone know what this update entails?
This update is really good.. Now my Tab 3 (SM-T211) is so smooth and transparent status bar has been improved a lot.. I got that ota update which is about 84MB (Indian 4.1.2 Firmware)
Hopefully, we will get KitKat 4.4 for Tab 3 (T211 model) soon..

Anyone got stock kernel for t211 ?
Dont worry about root. Without pre rooted in thread tab 3 7 Android development you can see about rooting

Quick Question!
i have 4.1.2 in my galaxy tab 3 T211, is it the latest firmware release? please confirm
Just to confirm, if we are pre rooted with odin, and if we do the update, will we loose root?
UPDATE: I went ahead and did the update. I DID LOOSE ROOT, but the device seems to respond much quicker.
Yes,i just lost my root, starting from zero now

Hey folks I've just now upgraded to this device and have been a dev for write some time now but mostly for HTC. My firmware and kernel are predated may of 2015 so I'd like to get suggestions from users that have had experience with the s6. What I'm looking to do is sim unlock, root, run twrp recovery, and eventually build roms for this device. So where should I start, take the update first, then sim unlock, root, & recovery, or do all of this now before I update my firmware using the ota? I've read that we can access root with 5.0.2 & 5.1.1 but what's your opinion? I would rather not trip my Knox but it's not a deal breaker if I do, since I own my device. Thanks in advance for your input. Oh and I'm not a noob and have read all the threads here. It's just a little confusing where to start since the device has been out a while now. You're all ahead of my game a little bit. Lol

Just do it all now. The 5.1.1 update isnt huge.
Will I just have to flash the updated firmware and rom to get the 5.1.1 if I do it all now?

Just updated today. It is an excellent guide.
Well an update here. The build that came with my device was not listed anywhere as rootable or unlockable. What I did find was info stating to update my device to get a newer version that would be workable. After that update my device still had a version that nobody could do anything with yet. Looks like I'll just have to wait it out or get another device before my 14 days are up.

I have traded my s6 for the note 5. I was hoping to be able to support this device in the future, and still may, but my gf has the s6 now.
