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

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?

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.

Can you help me.

Sent from my GT-N7100
Are you sure your device is rooted properly? Did you grant SuperSU permissions?
If you have cwm recovery then this will happen, in such case you need to flash stock recovery.

I am very happy that there are people like you and especially after my problem has been resolved. And I want to extend to you my respect and appreciation and thank you very much for your patience and following up to my problem.
I flashed the new rom for galaxy s3 i747 baseband i747ucuemjb ver. 4.3 and rooted it but everytime I try to use romtoolbox or superSU I get the security notice. I did some research and I believe this is due to KNOX... how would I remove knox? i tried to use terminal to do it but terminal wont allow me to use su commands at all...
Thanks in advance
Removing Knox goes way further then just an apk file my recommendation would be to use the 4.3 Roms provided By loserskater

NO!
This is terrible advice and will brick your phone. Do not for any reason try to downgrade from MJB 4.3 to any 4.1.1 ROM.
Allrockedout, be sure to know what you are talking about before you advise others to brick their phone!

I would odin flash back to 4.2 to avoid Knox if you don't have it already. Sounds like you were already flashing custom Roms.

Well, finally we have got KitKat and so I may ask, why you want to go back?
If you want to run 4.3 custom roms, no need to downgrade, go ahead and flash.

People are saying you can't flash back to 4.3 from 4.4.2, which is partially true.
Even when you flash the 4.3 firmware, you will still have 4.4.2 bootloader.
However, if you are not really fussed about the mini details, just flash it like you would normally with Odin,
then when there are problems with wifi, use custom kernels to fix it.
Otherwise, flash 4.3 then use a nand backup to restore (if you have it).
