Root it man,there is nothing to fear. If you doing it exactly how it writen in instructions,there is nothing to worry about. just don`t plug off your phone and let it complete. It`s last ~ 10 sec,and you`ll be good
I don`t think something whould happen,since a lot of us done it and we are happy rooted users

This isnt going very well with me..I just tried flashing philz touch and it said reset instead of pass? nothing happened to my phone (can still open my phone and all) but i panicked when i saw that message.. any idea?
Stock ROM flashes stock recovery on boot, that's why Philz doesn't stick.

You used Autoroot,or what?
Odin sometimes stucks on RESET,it`s not telling you that something went wrong. Start worry if you see FAIL
Did you tryed to enter recovery?

No man, you lose it when you flash official samsung rom, then your device will be able to get OTA updates from samsung. So called " Unroot "
Great to hear that all passed smoothly to you! :good:

Can any one help me I was trying to boot my samsung epic into recovery mode and I let go of the camera button to early now my phone gets stuck in between the boot up please help if u can thank you
if you let go of the button it should start up normally... Did you root with cwm3? it may be converting to ext4. First time I did it my phone converted like 10 times. lol... But I'm sure we will need more information as to what all was on the device our what your did to it such as root and roms

Hey wats going on to answer your question I followed drockstars instructions on how to root your phone without a pc and it worked well then I installed cwm2 and it worked but when I powered off and tried to boot into recovery mode to flash a rom it got stck at the samsung screen wat do I do
If you have access to a computer I would try poison back to stock. And I've never tried the root without a pc so can't help much there:/ sorry. Best bet would be odin tho as far a I know

What rom did you flash thru cwm2.x?
Edit; I think I missed that, you where just booting into cwm via 3 finger and it didn't boot into cwm?
Edit edit; if you pull the battery and try to boot into cwm again, does it still get stuck st the samscreen?
How can I use the pc if I cant boot the phone to the main screen will it still work. Im sorry as you can tell I'm new to this

Lol.....chances are you may have missed a tidbit of info. Check out odin then, it sounds like it may be your saving grace, also there's an odin thread in the development section. Its all up to date.
Edit; here's the odin thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Every time i install any of the custom rom on my Hong Kong GT-N7105; the screen flickers on the Samsung intro screen and then it goes dark. If I press the buttons a few times it'll finally come on, but it does it every reboot. It also doesn't recognize the SD card and corrupts it. I'll finally get aggravated & go back to stock. What can I do different?
Another question. Why do I have to wipe & reset settings every time before it will reboot on stock after I install it with Odin?
I got an answer 4 u bro. Dont root it again and stop doing it, ok. If u don't know what you doing, then don't do it. It's 4 your own good peace-out

Well, that's about what I decided to do. I don't like stock 4.1.1 looking like Gingerbread. I sure had a lot better luck doing my Note 1 that is when i stayed away from the D2att Roms.
Make sure you are installing a custom rom for the N7105 because the roms for the N7100 don't work on the N7105.

I try to use ones that have t0lte in the file name.
I have the same issue like yours few days ago but i manage to solve it. The problem lies with the root file. May i know what file did you use to root your phone? I use cf-auto-note2 on my N7100 but after changing it to CWM.... it works like charm. Do try it out.
Previously... after root or flash custom rom, my screen flickered. After changing to the right root file.... it is solved 100%

I've owned 3 Samsung devices and never had an issue. I downloaded the cf auto root and tried flashing it as instructed through Odin 3. I had already installed twrp before all this. It wasn't rooting properly and now it won't boot and isn't recognized in Odin anymore and I can't get into twrp. Please help!

It has been rumored that Samsung will not warrant the device if it is bricked but if the power button breaks they would most likely repair it.

Rooting device
Hi
I dont know what really happen to your device but here some things that might help.
1. Get the latest twrp zipfile should be 2.6.3
2. Unpack in a New directory on your PC - in this directory should be 2 files - one ODIN and one TWRP
3. Use the ODIn in that new directory only this Odin version will work.
4 load the TWRP file into ODIN
5 The only Oding Setting which should be changed is the Auto Re-Boot Option switch it off.
6 Than start the Load Process be patient can Take up to 6 Min.
This works i did it myself if any further question feel free to ask - ih this has helped a thanks would be nice-
Good Luck

Just delete the super user app. There should be an unroot option in there somewhere. You shouldn't need to worry about the recovery. But I believe there is a stock recovery in the non carrier branded forum

You could download this rom and once it's done downloading open the .zip up and delete Superuser.apk from either /system/app or Data/app. Then when you boot up it should look normal enough. After that you could just flash a stock recovery
IMO that's your best option since I haven't seen a ruu yet.

Please Help me Dudes
Yo
I have a quick question for the administrators. I was on Cyanogenmod with TWRP Recovery on my Htc one M8, i did everything stock (installed 2.22.401.4 odexx stock rom, with stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and turner S-ON) Now i have OTA update and when i click install now it shows red triangle and the update fails. When i go into recovery it shows something like 2.22.401.4 "something is wrong or missing something-i dont like to go into recovery to see again but i think you know this issue ) Can you please tell me what to do guys i dont want to sell my htc m8 and i want to get the OTA's in the future without any problem. Btw my phone is bought from T-Mobile Macedonia, where i wondered is this t-mobile RUU for all countries T-Mobile devices or just US?
I will be very grateful for your answers dudes.
Thank you in advance.
Gentlemen,
This tab is slow....keyboard is very laggy. So I figured I'd root it and load a ROM to it.... I flashed the file listed in the thread,
however, power, home and up won't go.... upon ocsassion, it wil bring me into factory mode..... wierd. My s3 and 4 rooted just fine,
so I'm no stranger to that......
Suggestion? Is there something I'm missing?
Other suggested in antother thread to reload factory firmware from sammobile...... I don't believe it would solve anything......
Thanks guys
You should try to flash the original firmware and see if it would fix it. Before doing it backup your data in case it doesn't fix

I used this link - Worked just like the video showed except I found that after flashing the TWRP recovery tool, I had to hold volume up & home for an extended period before the tool would boot. Watch the screen. After the Samsung logo dissapears, there is a slight glow on the screen. When that glow disappears, release the keys and you should see a lock screen. Swipe and you're in. Good luck.
