I have decided to hold back on root at the moment due to the flash counter and OTA break issue.
Its killing me though to have to live with such high lcd density atm
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
i'm holding off as well...
waiting to see what sort of custom roms appear in the coming weeks before i decide what to do with it...
aside from Titanium Backup, i don't really use a lot of root packages... changing the DPI would be nice, but i can live with it for the moment until the devs get coding
M
I'm holding off for now too, I really like having this phone stock at the moment but if Google wallet comes out for root then I will.
One idea if you afraid from raising flash counter.
Flash pre rooted rom
Use mobile odin to flash stock rom.
This won't raise flash counter.

Warranty will be voids.
Though soon triangle away application will get support for note2, then it can be reset.
Edit
Just looked your sign
PS : any special reason for asking? As you have already used sgs3,note and difficult to believe you don't know it.

Any ideas if the break OTA problems can be fixed that comes with rooting?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I don't think it can be fixed as recovery is custom.
But let's hope it can get fixed.

You need to choose what you want:
1. Have root and forget about OTA`s and Kies and use CWM and PC/Mobile Odin or
2. Stay on stock firmware and forget about root all together.
You can`t have it both ways mate
You will never be able to install OTA`s if you are rooted as you have a custom recovery.
ok still some what a new bee im looking to get note 2 unlock and run it on att..i have a gs3 on att..
i like rooting to get rid of my crap ware on att..but unlock is nice pure TW and i like it..so if i root and theres a update do i just flash the new update ? coming from a rooted stock TW?

ROOT!
Then u can clean bloatware, like gmaps, g+, ChatOn etc.
Hi Ketan, i have a question for you, i want to install the rooted rom but before doing that i would want to take the nandroid backup of the stock rom. Can you please give me step by step guide as to how i should go ahead wih it . Thanks and await your reply.
Without root you can't do nandroid backup.

Any device you root VOIDS the warranty. Even if you flash back to stock a lot of devices has flash counters, which tell you how many times device has been flashed with custom roms. Make sure your device forum has the files to go back to stock and find out if your device does or does not have a flash counter. If you can go back to stock and reset counter then I would definitely root it.

Root Toolkit has the option to reset flash counter. But due to the risk of using it. Only use it if you have to.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Don't root at all. Note 2 is perfect
If I helped out, hit the thanks button.
Rooting requires reading, research, and knowledge. If you familiarize yourself with the proper process and procedures, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to return your device to a returnable/warrant-able state. Rooting isn't for everyone, and only you can decide if it's with the risk or not of possibly damaging your device. Proper research is essential.

THIS IS ONLY FOR SPH-L900!!!
First you need to download this on your pc:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/rooting/GalaxyNote2RootSprint.zip
You find 4 files in it.
Put Odin and Odin.ini file in ONE map.
Connect your phone to your pc and copy the SUPERSU zip file to your sdcard > download map
(first you need to install your phone drivers, so you can copy files to your phone)
Disconnect the usb
Turn of your phone.
Go to download mode (volume down + home + power)
You get a warning screen, press: volume up.
Connect your phone to your pc
Open Odin
Now you see a yellow box: COM, with a random number, be sure its yellow.
You need to unzip openrecovery-twrp till its a TAR file (be sure its a TAR file otherwise you get brick)
Press: PDA
Select the TAR file
Press START
Now Odin will start, if you see PASS you can disconnect your phonr and turn it off.
After that go to Recovery Mode: volume up + home + power.
When in Recovery Mode, press:
INSTALL
Select your download map and select: SUPERSU.zip
After installing reboot your phone.
Its rooted now!
Ps. Im not responsepal for any damage at your phone if you do something wrong.

Hey Guys, coming from the Samsung galaxy nexus. Receiving my s4 in a few days.
Just a few question to install twrp:
1.Root using motochopper
2. Install goo manager
3. Install TWRP
4. Funfun
Are those the correct steps? Thanks!

I think unlock bootloader should be in there somewhere.
Isn't tmobile s4 boot loader already unlocked?

Did doing it that way change your system status in Odin mode? I Odin'ed TWRP and then rooted. Now I have a system status of Custom instead of Official.

If u have a custom recovery the status will always say custom. Only flashing back to stock through odin will make it official again.

I'm used to my Galaxy S2 I guess. It never said custom. Tried Odin k0ane's stock file. Still says custom. I thought I was going to have to return the phone. It started using hotspot data for all data. I was almost to my 500 meg limit. A factory reset fixed it and Tmo gave me an extra 2gb hotspot data for this month only for free.
What's the difference between custom and official?

Official is all stock factory system. Custom means you altered the system and your warranty is probably void. That's why people try to flash back to stock if they need to get their phone repaired or replaced.
I see. Coming from the galaxy nexus, so much to learn..
Also, where can I get the samsung USB Drivers to do the motochopper?

Take a look ant the N2 and S3 forums - they have threads on returning to stock and i am sure we will see one here - AS SOON as and only when an official Samsung TMo firmware is available.
If you break or brick your device before then you will have to wait before sending it in to Samsung or TMo.

I can't believe sammobile hasn't gotten the firmwares posted yet. Isn't this unusual? Doesn't Samsung usually release the firmware almost immediately?
Does anyone know why that when I download something to my internal sd card and then boot into twrp and try to install it the file is missing in the download folder. Am I doing something wrong? i'm coming from cwm and things are a lot different. Any help would be great thanks

Reflash AGAIN same rom . Your baseband did not update and your status remained custom
U don`t need repartition
U must reflash 2 3 times until your baseband get updated. After that factory reset your phone and your status will be Official
