It appears to be similar to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51480568&postcount=1
Names are different and the .bat is worded differently but I used the one I posted above and it worked.

thanks dude. probably going to wait till next weekend because my wife overfed me for father's day and now it's sleepy time

So have people tried this root? Did it trip the counter?
Seems like the apk has an un-root option as well. Very cool.
Are there any good reasons to root and keep the stock image on the Note 2? I'm on the fence...
It does not trip the counter. Also it has option to fix the exynos exploit which is cool.

With the exception of losing you FFC in the process
The problem with this is that it shows our devices have a widely know loop hole and hackers could do what they want to our phones.

Doesn't this method break the camera until you restore?

I am using it to root the phone. So no camera issues.
If you fix the exploit then it may break your camera.

The toggle effects the camera. And I dont know how thats anu faster then pushing root through odin.

Does this wipe anything?
Nope, works great on ATT Note 2. Still have all my data , just rooted and protected against the exploit. Camera works fine. Quick and easy, need to be in debugging mode and allow 3rd party apps.

Wouldnt using Mobile ODIN allow you to flash the root .tar file from your device? Not certain as I never used Mobile ODIN.

I just think it's inconvenient for people who want to flash tars that are not rooted. I do think the app is absolutely amazing though.

MobileODIN wouldn't work if it wasn't Root. Functional, not stupid.
Back on topic, on other devices that I have had, you can flash a custom recovery via the stock recovery but naming the file 'update.zip' and placing it in the root of the ext_sd. Not sure about the T999 series, I haven't looked into or tried it.
What about cf autoroot by chain fire?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
CF auto root requires Odin on a pc.
I really do not think there.is a way to do this. Sorry man.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Suggestion: Find an internet cafe (if you can find one that allows downloading exes)
Pay for the time you think you might need.
Download Odin
Download the files you need
You know the rest!
Or you must have a friend who would be willing to give you a go.
It takes about 15 mins to do it if you know what you are doing.
I hope that helps, cheers!
Thanks guys. Mods can close this topic now.

You don't need unroot or lock the bootloader, this is the whole point why this is interesting, for people to be able to update without having to use lgnpst. The reason u need to back up root is because when u apply the patch, you need to root, the app u linked is good too.

When you update you don't lose root it's a just in case precaution is all...

Maybe try my port of Split View (Multi View) from the LG Flex to the G2. Make a backup first.There are 2 zips. 1 to install and 1 to remove the mod. Download both if you are going to try. To trigger Split View hold the back button.

Did you try long pressing the back button? Try the third party launcher app from the OP of my thread. Use GMD or Tasker to set a gesture to activate.
